theory: taylor swift hated the rise of skywalker {a thread}
in anticipation of episode ix, taylor shared her worries for jj’s script and the consistent and worrisome leaks coming from reddit by releasing the archer, a known reylo anthem, on july 23rd, 2019:
the same exact night as the rise of skywalker’s hollywood premiere, taylor realized the reddit leaks were real and she posted a coded message... she was fed up:
like many other sequel trilogy fans, taylor felt betrayed and distraught by the rise of skywalker. here she is denouncing the film in exile:
in “this is me trying” taylor is trying to reconcile with the rise of skywalker, she is haunted by the film’s creative choices:
in “hoax” taylor further critiques the rise of skywalker for killing the redeemed hero. taylor thinks death for atonement is lazy
this may be a stretch but I think taylor is taking more shots of jj’s lack of vision and the rise of skywalker’s awful blue coloring scheme:
it seems taylor’s reconciliation with the sequel trilogy’s ending has poured into her art. folklore is very cathartic and healing. i hope she finds peace with the rise of skywalker’s existence. stream: https://open.spotify.com/album/2fenSS68JI1h4Fo296JfGr?si=UeszuYq6QRK63Agmkuo86A">https://open.spotify.com/album/2fe...
