Unpopular opinion but Susanna Reid is almost as bad as Piers Morgan simply for facilitating his actions. How can you sit next to someone imitating a child without shutting him down? She plays the “liberal snowflake” card every day but only to fuel Piers’ fire, not extinguish it

romance books: this man is so big. he is just so huge. he towers over me. all i can think about is how big he is. his arms are big. but i have to contain this feeling. we work together! yet my mind is imagining a life with mr big in all his enormousness. he is so... big.

"the death of the author" is a literary theory that argues that the meaning of a piece of art is not determined by the author's intention, but rather by the reader's interpretation. once the work is published, it belongs to the reader not the writer.
(roland barthes, 1967)
#ttpd
The Manuscript is about the bittersweet feeling of releasing art and having to relinquish it to the audience.
These are songs Taylor writes about her life but ultimately we the audience are the ones who create the stories around the songs. The story isn’t hers anymore.
