So high school is about the industry/American culture and always has been send bloop

But but but…she said “you know how to ball” and said Travis’s catch phrase so it has to be about him…

itallpointstome.bsky.social•11 days ago

No but in all seriousness I’ve been saying for a while now that she laid this out with her eras your performance. When she doesn’t conform to societies expectations they cage her/pray for her/ or as she showed…burn her. But once she plays along and gives them…

The heteronormative all American version of her they desire then they literally turn their prayers into cheers. And it’s interesting to see how she was able to reflect this performance back on the crowd. The more she added in (the archer pose, blowing kissed to Travvy, etc)the more the crowd cheered

I’ve been told my multiple people that the loudest the crowd ever was on those nights was during the archer pose during SHS and if she sang guy on the Chiefs. And we are continuing to see it with things like Travis being nominated for best surprise guest.

Which is actually super depressing when you compare Florence, Sabrina and Gracie to him briefly carrying her briefly and then fake-putting makeup on her. The fact that this was the same night as one of Gracie’s guest appearances too 😐

literally it is the allegory for her, and our, hell. The highschool is to taylor what the inferno is to dante.

mcpants.bsky.social•11 days ago

yes I just said "literally it is the allegory" don't worry about it

🤯 I hope you make a tik tok about this! I’ve always wondered why she talks about high school so much

thatbicatlady.bsky.social•11 days ago

EXACTLY. Pretty much every time she me tions high school it’s a critique of culture. I actually made a video about this after the Amsterdam night 3 Mary’s song/SHS/everything has changed mashup

The video is hella long but the industry analysis starts at about 4:30
