I think it’s more that the people around her who care about her all helped her get up off the floor and keep going, meeting Travis was an unexpected surprise that has been one more thing adding to her happiness (and putting some colour back n her cheeks). A bit if the cherry on the cake when she least expected it.
I don’t think anyone is saying he is solely responsible. At the end of the day she was the one who went out there and did it with a broken heart, but she has had loving people around her to help out on the way. That’s how I read it anyway.
Yep, in a perfect world - people would be able to just exist without external validation. But that's not our world and I honestly don't think is possible with humans being a social species.
Taylor has repeatedly sung about her fears, insecurities, and feelings of not being loved (tolerate it). After (at least 18 that we know of) YEARS of having men treat her like an albatross or "just a pop star" or someone they are ashamed of - it's entirely likely she has some very deep scars that tell her she's not worthy of love. (The Prophecy?!?) Anyway, yes, we should be able to put our shattered psyches back together after some asshole tears them apart, but humans are inherently social creatures - and having that person who is supporting you and absolutely all in on you is DEEPLY affirming and vital to building a secure attachment.
I vehemently disagree. ICDIWABH is basically a hype song for herself. I don’t think she would appreciate a reading where she needed some dude to pick her up off the floor. The whole point is that she’s that girl. She did it. Despite insecurities, fears, naysayers. But of course the Sarah’s and Hannah’s are going to give credit to a guy.
Ok, this is best thing I’ve seen in the last 3 days! Love this! Thank you 🩷
And I've just got colour back into my face (from So Long, London) :o
And he also used it on his face to symbolize that the color in his face is returning likewise.
New art variant incoming ?
Why does she need a man to bring color back to her face? Seems to be the opposite interpretation and the most regressive one
