I think the photo’s just been taken from quite close up, to be honest with you.
@drbeaubeaumont Even without the super literal reading, this question is still ridiculous. Like, what part of her decade-long, highly visible career did they miss?
Imagine asking in 1968: "The Beatles - Where did they come from?!"
@drbeaubeaumont She also wears those amazing heels too
@drbeaubeaumont Maybe she has grown vast and terrible, and is advancing menacingly on her enemy's stronghold?
@drbeaubeaumont damnit. I can't wait for Gli**er to be gone so I can use the small/far away joke.
@drbeaubeaumont We use to have a children’s show called The Friendly Giant. Imagine to my dismay when I discovered it was just a normal size man playing with dollhouse furniture.
@drbeaubeaumont Because tween and teen girls want to be her. Oh, sorry! Was that rhetorical? 😬
@drbeaubeaumont
This looks shopped. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.
@drbeaubeaumont I have seen her in concert maybe four times. I saw her first way back when she was a country singer. She played Wembley Arena because her song Love Story had just hit the UK and she wasn’t big enough for the O2 (yet). She was so new to being famous she would hug the audience and thank them for coming. Her albums were fun and playful. She grew up and her next album was very serious. She performed it at concert in a very dignified evening gown…
@drbeaubeaumont and it was all very adult and mature. Her songs had a new maturity. It wasn’t fun like her playful younger stuff. It didn’t sell. Shortly after that she must have had a closed door meeting with management where they would halve said something like, look, your songs are wonderful but you can be wonderful and niche or mainstream and rich. Shortly after she transitioned into pop and her songs became meaningless and full of catchy choruses. It has been wildly popular
@drbeaubeaumont but I think somewhere deep deep under the layers of polished performance you now see in everything she does, somewhere is the original girl who wrote meaningful country songs. I haven’t seen her in concert for a good long time now. The tickets cost too much these days, and her songs are slightly better than other generic pop stuff, but only slightly and it’s lost it’s meaning and authenticity

I have used ChatGPT some more and managed to produce Taylor Swift: The Musical. See requests and replies below (and sorry for how long it takes to get to the lyrics but I hope you agree it was worth...

@drbeaubeaumont It's me, hi. I'm the forced perspective, it's me.

@drbeaubeaumont

She's about 1.2x life size on my monitor maybe more?
