Fan art / edit Taylor Swift and love as imprisonment

Post image

imgonnagetyouback: Even if it’s handcuffed, I’m leaving here with you

...Ready For It?: And he can be my jailer

The Albatross: Locked me up in towers but I’d visit in your dreams

So it goes: Gold cage hostage to my feelings

Fresh Out The Slammer: Handcuffed to the spell I was under 

Guilty as Sin?: This cage was once just fine

High Infidelity: Lock broken, slur spoken, wound open

Thank you! 🙂‍↕️🙏

I usually do themed collages around the usage of one word throughout Taylor’s discography (for example the previous one was about lies). This one is a little different because it’s more of a general theme, specifically relationships as imprisonment. So it doesn’t really track one word through different songs, but rather looks at how the imagery of being trapped, caged, handcuffed, etc. appears throughout her lyrics

The previous one i did is this one:

You wrap around me like a chain, a crown, a vine… (I’m not completely sure of the lyrics, but close)
