To the Haters [TS: Perspectives Albums 10/11/12]

  

I'm Testing out this theory that there is a song in each of the 'Multiple Taylor's Series' that talks about the same situation from each different perspective. We're remembering the physical portrayals from the Anti-Hero music video that gave us the map to Taylor's plan of introducing each persona. See my other posts about it:

Obviously not every song has a 1:1:1 match, because the tracklists are different lengths. But I thought it would be a fun exercise none-the-less, and might be enlightening. 


Adjacent to the last post regarding how each Taylor deals with attackers, is what each perspective feels and says to the haters:


Midnights:

Big-Taylor talks about how famous ladies always had to have a secret plan to make it out of the spotlight alive. This persona will get even.


TTPD

Poet-Taylor is traumatized by the subject/s words and mean actions towards her. But she says trying to prove them wrong, overcoming the bullying, and succeeding despite the nay-sayers gives her pride. She took the bad things and turned them into songs, publicity, and goals. 


TLOAS

Showgirl-Taylor is sarcastic and mean-girlish right back to her haters. She can't be bothered to engage with their nonsense, is better than them, and regards them as like a pesky mosquito--this doesn't affect her.
