Taylor Swift on the release of ‘Speak Now’ TV before performing ‘Dear John’:

“I’m 33 years old, I don’t care about anything that happened to me when I was 19… I’m not putting this album out so you can go on the internet and defend me against someone you think I wrote a song… pic.twitter.com/cFQbKQk8vD

[3rdattemptuser]

god I miss her

[donaestrangera]

lol, meanwhile the night before ATW dropped, she was on one of the late night shows and the host asked her if she ever thought about how her songs impacted the subjects of the songs and she kinda smirked and said no. cue not just jake but his sister, his friend's cat, and anyone who's ever appeared on his instagram including recently deceased stephen sondheim getting dragged into it.

she didn't get an oscar after all so now she cares.

[slaughtermatic]

Didkt jake gyllanhall have an entire article written about how he fucks the young actresses he works with insidiously? Who gives a shit about jake gyllenahal.

[donaestrangera]

i don't care about him but his sister, his friend's cat, and everyone who's ever appeared on his instagram?

i don't think anyone deserves death threats anyway

[slaughtermatic]

I dont care about Maggie gyllenhall or a cat when that drama kind of led to Jake's creepy ass getting comeuppance for .2 secs before everyone forgot and fell into his ~dreamy blue eyes again

[epicdonald]

I have a completely baseless theory that she thought the All Too Well 10 minute video was going to get her taken seriously as a director and lead to more opportunities, but it ended up just being cringe & an embarrassment for her in retrospect. And the Gyllenhaals getting spammed by her fans about the song didn't go well for her behind the scenes. I've always gotten the impression that even though she's hugely popular among the commonfolk what she really wants is industry clout and it's always escaping her.

I'm filing this post away in my confirmation bias folder

You may be onto something here but I also don’t think she’ll ever be able to get there. She doesn’t seem critical of herself to do something with humility. Like, the girl sincerely thought what she produced was Oscar worthy. I don’t know how someone escapes that level of delusion.

[cheerspinkears]

All these years of the Grammys kissing her ass and awarding her instead of other huge stars has made her think other “prestige” awards will follow suit. The music world has always fallen in line for this woman, now she’s realizing the Oscars doesn’t have to, and I love that for her.

[acidsnow]

Her albums have always been a reaction to the criticism of her previous work. However, her music videos have never received a ton of critique apart from critique of the song and theme. I think the videos she’s directed have been fine, but her work is generally serviceable and at times pretty good. She’s at least as good as a lot of MV directors. I would love for her to have enough success in the movie field to not have to hear about her antics in the press for a while because over exposure is no longer a risk for her. However, she’ll probably edit her movies while on tour and dating annoying men because she is nothing if not incredibly productive.
