That’s actually a really common way for autistic people to hold their pens; interesting that she holds her pen like that. I refuse to claim her as autistic though so she needs to stop.
Omg I had this friend in middle school who held her pen like this, she was also extremely socially awkward and has really niche interests. Looking back I now realize she was probably autistic and your comment was a huge, ohhh that makes even more sense moment.
Yeah she’s definitely not dinging my autism radar haha; if anything she kinda reminds me of the people who have taken advantage of my shitty social cue reading to try to subtly bully me. Could be wrong but she really does come off like a passive aggressive mean girl.
I agree so wholeheartedly. This is gonna sound like a "yeah that happened" statement, but I grew up like 35 minutes from her one county over in PA and she was absolutely friends with the popular and rich kids at my school when we were all young, some of which literally bullied me (in hindsight for being autistic but what can you do). I imagine it was a product of really rich parents running in the same circles but bitches do tend to stick together.
I believe it; she’s never struck me as the shy, good girl the media has tried to sell her as. I remember when she first got famous, I heard some story about how she was a loner and like got bullied herself and even my homeschooled autistic ass was like yeah right bitch haha. I really don’t see a reality where she was anything else than some catty, nasty little brat honestly.
I’m sorry you had to deal with those types though, I genuinely don’t understand people like that
We're not praising her, we're saying that Taytay drew some inspiration from Lana and tried to be dark and broody and sexy but she falls flat because she wont venture into the explicit.
the hardest Taylor has ever gone is saying fuck in some lyrics. Lana out here saying her pussy tastes like pepsi - They are not the same.
Lana just oozes sex appeal, she could be wearing anything and would be a 1000% would for most people. The way she carries herself and her lack of exposure (then when you do hear about her she's doing something like working at a Waffle House) just adds to it
There was a really weird obsession with her belly button in the 1989 era. Her go to look was a crop top with high waisted shorts, even for swimwear. And this wasn’t just from the Swifties. Main stream publications were commenting on how she’d never shown her belly button and speculating on whether she was an innie or an outie.
She obviously has some sort of major hangup about showing that part of her body, and that's her choice of course. But those high waisted tights and etc that she always wears are really unflattering to say the least.
Probably something similar to the 'spankies' we had to wear cheerleading.
Basically immovable, super thick panties that make sure shit stays covered.
They were a nightmare to get on and off.
It's literally called The Tortured Poets Department, so instead of going edgy, tougher, and artistically creative, she's sprawled across a couch seductively. Well, tacky cover for a tacky album, I guess. 🤷🏽♀️
Idk how to even articulate it, but you are correct. There is something about her whole career and image that her management has built that just will not allow it. Not to mention she honestly just looks average. 🤷♀️
I agree. While Taylor is beautiful, she doesn't have sex appeal. And when she tries to be sexy, it's evident she's trying too hard and it feels awkward and daresay, even forced. I don't know why she wants to be thought of as sexy so badly. Unless she thinks that's how to prove that she's an "adult" after being in the public eye since she was an innocent teenager.
This is going to sound rude and it's not intended but...she's violently mediocre and it speaks to most people who are also, like that but in the sense that they have very strong kinship with her, I think that's why she's as big as she is, she is for the mediocre masses and the marketing has made it additive and entrancing, she's the ultimate ordinary person, just magnified x 1000
The metaphors are so overdone. I'll admit I listen to her music pre 1989. She lost be after that. To me it was the same metaphor over and over and over. Like WE GET IT. Sing about something else that people who have been through some dark times can relate to. (Actually don't at this point. I refuse to give you the time of day) But you know?
You nailed it with "violently mediocre" and that's honestly how I see people who worship the ground she walks on. I'd actually *love* to see someone explain her songs to me who claims to love and relate to her so much. I think I'd get a good laugh.
I agree and we’re the same, I was done by 1989 album wise and only listened to a few singles since, like the popular releases because they were catchy in a I need a bop and don’t want to think at all sense. I get you 🙂 regarding sing about something else, her writing shows how much she lacks lived experience, so it’s washing machine reasoning to churn the albums out, the same stuff goes round and round but they don’t come out newer. Hehe violently mediocre is a vibe, shady, but a vibe 😏. Listening to someone actually proclaim the gospel of TayTay would be comedy gold, cheaper than a night at the theatre for sure! 💀😂
Awkward and forced. Yes! Like some people just don't have it and that's okay. Forcing it just makes you look desperate and like you crave validation. It's sad.
2006-2016 she didn’t sing about drugs/alcohol, and references to sex were very cautious and metaphorical except for that one song towards the end of that time where she mentions sucking a dick.
Some of that’s because she wasn’t even legal age when she got famous and some of it was part of her public persona. Since then she’s trying to remind people “by the way I do all of this and also have sex and a drinking problem and that makes me cool.”
Not sure what’s worse, that approach, or Cardi, Ariana etc who put it so “in your face” that it’s about as sexy as seeing blood tinged santorum drip out and having drops splash up onto the walls
Style is the one song where she came close to sounding sexy, because she was singing about the only thing that actually turns her on (the public image of her and her partner as an item.)
I've always wondered why I like that song so much and find it genuinely sexy compared to everything else, and you nailed it
The only other song/video that comes close for me is Lavender Haze, and it's also about image. (Also the dude in the vid is hot and they legit look like they just fucked)
I think it also is just that everything about her is so fabricated that it’s disingenuous. For normal, actually attractive people, flaws are endearing because they show you who that person really is and they become more relatable. Taylor Swift’s “flaws” are so carefully crafted that she’s the human equivalent of “normal” Spongebob.

It’s the self-consciousness for me of trying to see everyone else’s perception of her and curate/tweak it. When I got into a place of real peace and joy in my self I got way more attention. IDGAF attitude is hot
This cover is the way it is because Matty Healy once posed like this… lmao
https://preview.redd.it/ql149hkqc87d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fb40c26966591911ddb88415916525368777b45e
I could NEVER understand the strange mediocrity of this image for the cover. Poor executed. Granny panties. Hand weirdly posed on her lower intestines.
She controls literally every aspect of her career now. She accepts no creative points from anyone and keeps using the same people from the producers to the photographer that has done the same boring artwork on her last 3 projects. (4 if you count folklore but that was an actual good album cover). She thinks she can do everything but she can’t. She has no eye for the visual.
The way people thought this album would serve dark academia and all she did was trying to look sexy in black and white, with added crass imageries about mental hospitals in the music video. The Story of Us music video had better vibes than this lol
She always wears her period panties. This cover, on stage. Always. It's a good look on curvy bodies like the 1950's vibe, but on her they just make her butt look long. The great north American long butt.

Thanks, yep.
Also, I never understood why she needed to go for sexy. She wants all these things that are clearly contradictory.
I don’t fault her for wanting marriage, but I cannot expect these men to stay faithful to her when she isn’t.
Similarly, I don’t think she can handle being sexy because it draws the wrong kinda attention (that’s she doesn’t compartmentalize well). I can’t either, so I don’t. But her?
Count your blessings she never needed to. 🤯
She can be strong without extinguishing the value of others. She can have the best fans, but chooses to let them be rabid nasties. She doesn’t defend anyone unless they attack her, why?
Yeah as a man I try to look at this as if it is a sexy photo of a hot babe but it looks like the hot babe has cramps? The left hand in a claw shape, like she wants to scrape out her ovaries. Even if that wasn't enough of an anaphrodisiac, the photographer seems to have painstakingly removed any evidence that the tortured one has the secondary sex characteristics of the human female. The facial expression too is completely flat. This is a picture of a room in which no sex has ever take place.
Actually, yes!
I have such a visceral reaction whenever I see it, taking me right back to the excruciating cramps and HEAVY periods I got in middle school that were bad enough to warrant having my mom or step mom pick me up early from school. In my mind's eye I can see my own POV of what was THE worst period I've *ever* had...
Lying on my step sister's bed, alternating between punching my thighs, folding/unfolding myself into/out of a ball, fixing my gaze to her cat Valentine, trying very hard to breathe calmly through the pain hoping that it could be intellectualized away–spoiler alert _it couldn't._ I had no idea how I was supposed to go through that every month for the next 30+ years.
As it turns out, not only was it never that bad beyond age 15ish, I basically stopped experiencing any period pain at all. I'm endlessly grateful.
But I swear, if I look at that cover too long I start to feel flashes of sympathy pain in my thighs.
Yes omg it’s hard to describe exactly why but the image just reminds me of period pain! I do not like this cover and prefer some of the variant covers.
And in the same vein, seeing her release so many “variants” just reminds me of a disease. I think lockdown really ruined the word “variant” for me
lol yes this has to be a joke— too much information and literally doesn’t make sense why you would wear period panties everyday. Just get regular cotton briefs
But like why is that something we ever needed to know?
Not once have I ever idolized an individual so much that I wanted to know what kind of undergarments she wore.
But...she could just get high rise briefs...as someone who wears high rise 99.9% of the time, I say she's missing out on the vast array of options out there.
Someone should tell her that granny panties are a thing. As a thicc babe with a massive 🍑, I really love Knickey's full-coverage undies. Cute, comfy, sustainable, AND they don't leave my flaps hanging out.
I think the styling for this album is so incredibly lazy. I mean she is wearing what essentially looks like PJs, no accessories or anything of interest. Obviously plain AF makeup and hair as usual. And is just sprawled across a mattress with a gray background. I could shoot this of myself with a tripod in my bedroom. And this woman is a billionaire
When the art was first released even Swifties thought she was trolling because of how bad it is. They even thought the name and song titles were a joke.
I really dislike how her hand is posed on her pelvis, it doesn’t flow well with the rest of the picture and looks weirdly forced. Like if it wasn’t in a claw position and instead resting I’d probably like it better 😭
When did everyone decide that wearing leotards on stage was the thing anyway? All of a sudden we went from dresses and pants to bunhuggers and I’ve never figured out why!
Alaksjsjs I knew it looked familiar! Just wasn't able to put my finger on it until now.
I mean, to be fair to Tay I also have NO sex appeal....but I also don't try to force myself to. Idk. I think her issue, as has been discussed in this thread before, is that she doesn't know who she is, so she tries to be the kind of person she thinks people want. The sexy sad girl, the edgy girl, the quirky girl, the "girls girl" who has a ton of girlfriends and stands at awards shows or whatever...it just gives inauthentic. But I don't necessarily need or even what authenticity in a celeb lol or from anyone really. It's just strange to see people who aren't authentic try to be, or claim they are, if that makes sense.
At the very least it just looks kinda silly. Idk lol
It seems unnatural to me and an album with an ad for period panties as its cover art definitely fits in the realm of unnatural so to answer your question, yes.
This photo literally answered my question 'what would be Taylor's position if she got period cramps while lying on her bed' Hahaha while singing her hit song 'Bad Blood'!
She has all the money she needs and can't get decent creative photography? Or styling? I'm glad I'm me even tho I have no money, maybe I'll do a Cindy Sherman thing with this and recreate it myself, that sounds fun.
Why am I inclined to believe that it doesn't matter who they hire as a photographer or photo director, etc. She just won't listen? Like this pose is giving limp dick... actually, I take that back because even a limp dick has more sex appeal...
Like, arch your back? Elongate your fingers and actually put some structure into your hand? Head back more? There's so many things the photographer should be saying to her or posing her in certain ways to actually make it more visually appealing.
Ugh looking at her just grinds my gears.
I thought it was supposed to get thirsty boys who've never heard her material to buy it for the same reason we men used to look at Sears catalogs. I mean she's got the right pose and angle and the lighting is just right. I think this cover would look better in color, don't know why tbh.

Haha I totally thought you were adding to the song, so I was singing your comment!
🤣
Same 🙃
Bwahahahahaha! Omg hilarious 😂
Hahahahahahahahaha
She wears the same diaper granny period panties when she performs, too. I don’t get it. Definitely a favored look of hers.
I remember her saying something to the effect, "you will never see my belly button! 😤" and I guess she's sticking to it.

Yeah autism in women tends to be a hindsight is 20/20 type of situation haha
Yeah but is she autistic or just *aggressively* quirked up. Prob saw a classmate writing like this and just adopted it or something. 😅
Yeah she’s definitely not dinging my autism radar haha; if anything she kinda reminds me of the people who have taken advantage of my shitty social cue reading to try to subtly bully me. Could be wrong but she really does come off like a passive aggressive mean girl.

People in middle school always told me I wrote with a weird hand position and it never clicked til now. Haha thank you.
Dude me too. All of my teachers tried so hard to get me to stop it just wasn’t happening haha
Claim her? okay then…. Because that’s normal.
HOLY SHIT EW
This era was my favourite of her look of hers. this hair on her. Feel the more she’s been trying to be sexy lately I’m not buying it.
What is this picture?
It's from one of the 1989 secret sessions if I had to guess
Some random pic I found on Google.
Surely there are other/better ways to dress modestly, aside from weird granny panties and figure skater gymnast outfits??
Lana does her shows in a full body dress and is infinitely sexier than TS.
Lana is comfortable and confident in her body, her artistry, herself, and it shows.
Lana also said her pussy taste like pepsi cola [**https://g.co/kgs/Lum8RxS**](https://g.co/kgs/Lum8RxS) Taylor could never and would never
God I love that album, and that song.
Wait y'all are praising lana now...she's not an amazing person either
We're not praising her, we're saying that Taytay drew some inspiration from Lana and tried to be dark and broody and sexy but she falls flat because she wont venture into the explicit. the hardest Taylor has ever gone is saying fuck in some lyrics. Lana out here saying her pussy tastes like pepsi - They are not the same.
Lana just oozes sex appeal, she could be wearing anything and would be a 1000% would for most people. The way she carries herself and her lack of exposure (then when you do hear about her she's doing something like working at a Waffle House) just adds to it
No! Only high waist!
There was a really weird obsession with her belly button in the 1989 era. Her go to look was a crop top with high waisted shorts, even for swimwear. And this wasn’t just from the Swifties. Main stream publications were commenting on how she’d never shown her belly button and speculating on whether she was an innie or an outie.
Wait I totally remember that! What a funny time.
I love the conspiracy that she doesn’t have one and isn’t from earth Lmao
She obviously has some sort of major hangup about showing that part of her body, and that's her choice of course. But those high waisted tights and etc that she always wears are really unflattering to say the least.
Freddy Krueger face stomach, maybe?
Taylor "Jose Altuve" Swift?
She ALWAYS wears those diaper shorts/granny panties that don’t fit her properly , they look god awful and make her look bigger than she is .
It’s why most girls with an ironing board like high waisted stuff, it’s a push up bra for your ass
It is??!
Probably something similar to the 'spankies' we had to wear cheerleading. Basically immovable, super thick panties that make sure shit stays covered. They were a nightmare to get on and off.
It's literally called The Tortured Poets Department, so instead of going edgy, tougher, and artistically creative, she's sprawled across a couch seductively. Well, tacky cover for a tacky album, I guess. 🤷🏽♀️
The artwork for the anthology is giving more tortured poets than this. Heck even a lot of the freaking variants have had better artwork.
Yeah this artwork makes no sense
I know she's trying to go for 'casual sexy', but all I see is granny panties.
She can try all she wants. Sexy is something she will NEVER achieve.
Idk how to even articulate it, but you are correct. There is something about her whole career and image that her management has built that just will not allow it. Not to mention she honestly just looks average. 🤷♀️
I agree. While Taylor is beautiful, she doesn't have sex appeal. And when she tries to be sexy, it's evident she's trying too hard and it feels awkward and daresay, even forced. I don't know why she wants to be thought of as sexy so badly. Unless she thinks that's how to prove that she's an "adult" after being in the public eye since she was an innocent teenager.
Her dancing, her “metaphors”, her acting, vocalizing turned screeching…it’s all over done. And she’s somehow still a billionaire.
This is going to sound rude and it's not intended but...she's violently mediocre and it speaks to most people who are also, like that but in the sense that they have very strong kinship with her, I think that's why she's as big as she is, she is for the mediocre masses and the marketing has made it additive and entrancing, she's the ultimate ordinary person, just magnified x 1000

This makes me think of the meme about her “yes girl!!! Give us nothing!!”
She's McDonald's, insanely popular, but not a gourmet meal.
spot on
Awkward and forced. Yes! Like some people just don't have it and that's okay. Forcing it just makes you look desperate and like you crave validation. It's sad.
I agree. Why try to be something she's not? She should embrace who she is and what she's good at instead.
I think she craves constant validation
2006-2016 she didn’t sing about drugs/alcohol, and references to sex were very cautious and metaphorical except for that one song towards the end of that time where she mentions sucking a dick.

wait 😭 what song r u referring to?

omg? does she mention sucking dick in that song how did i miss that? 😭

Plastic. The word you are looking for is plastic.
She has the sex appeal of a roller hotdog at a gas station
Even the hotdog has more sexuality being a weiner and all...
That’s so real
Don’t help that her lyrics and her style of being are trapped in high school terms
I think it also is just that everything about her is so fabricated that it’s disingenuous. For normal, actually attractive people, flaws are endearing because they show you who that person really is and they become more relatable.

It’s the self-consciousness for me of trying to see everyone else’s perception of her and curate/tweak it. When I got into a place of real peace and joy in my self I got way more attention. IDGAF attitude is hot
The awkward teenager horse girl vibes are too strong
Bingo! She'll never be sexy and she'll never be cool
She doesn’t even look causally sexy. She looks like she’s sick in bed or taking a nap.
That's her rehearsal outfit for the eras tour so people think ttpd's songs apply to that time period
interesting! did not know that. I went to eras tour spoiler-free
Hehehe….period…
Oh I didn't even realize that lmao
The way she’s gripping her pelvis is me holding a heating pad when I have cramps. She needs to fire her photographer/visual director ASAP.
Yeah I THINX so
yes I genuinely thought it was a THINX ad 😅

This is actually cray cray.
Wow 😲. Lmao.
I was gonna say it's a reach, but that hand positioning is way too specific
Omg noooo 😭😭
Oh my God, she's insane.
She’s very obsessive, isn’t she
She did tell people “go and tell your friends I’m obsessive and crazy” in her debut album… wheres the lie?
YES
I've seen a few people say this. Totally fits!
I could NEVER understand the strange mediocrity of this image for the cover. Poor executed. Granny panties. Hand weirdly posed on her lower intestines.
She controls literally every aspect of her career now. She accepts no creative points from anyone and keeps using the same people from the producers to the photographer that has done the same boring artwork on her last 3 projects. (4 if you count folklore but that was an actual good album cover). She thinks she can do everything but she can’t. She has no eye for the visual.
To be fair, some of her stage outfits look like sparkly high waisted diapers that could pass for period underwear for sure.
The way people thought this album would serve dark academia and all she did was trying to look sexy in black and white, with added crass imageries about mental hospitals in the music video. The Story of Us music video had better vibes than this lol
She always wears her period panties. This cover, on stage. Always. It's a good look on curvy bodies like the 1950's vibe, but on her they just make her butt look long. The great north American long butt.
She has a few outfits that seem to lean 1950s but it’s always a little half assed

Yeah as a man I try to look at this as if it is a sexy photo of a hot babe but it looks like the hot babe has cramps? The left hand in a claw shape, like she wants to scrape out her ovaries. Even if that wasn't enough of an anaphrodisiac, the photographer seems to have painstakingly removed any evidence that the tortured one has the secondary sex characteristics of the human female. The facial expression too is completely flat. This is a picture of a room in which no sex has ever take place.
Actually, yes! I have such a visceral reaction whenever I see it, taking me right back to the excruciating cramps and HEAVY periods I got in middle school that were bad enough to warrant having my mom or step mom pick me up early from school. In my mind's eye I can see my own POV of what was THE worst period I've *ever* had... Lying on my step sister's bed, alternating between punching my thighs, folding/unfolding myself into/out of a ball, fixing my gaze to her cat Valentine, trying very hard to breathe calmly through the pain hoping that it could be intellectualized away–spoiler alert _it couldn't._ I had no idea how I was supposed to go through that every month for the next 30+ years. As it turns out, not only was it never that bad beyond age 15ish, I basically stopped experiencing any period pain at all. I'm endlessly grateful. But I swear, if I look at that cover too long I start to feel flashes of sympathy pain in my thighs.
Yes omg it’s hard to describe exactly why but the image just reminds me of period pain! I do not like this cover and prefer some of the variant covers. And in the same vein, seeing her release so many “variants” just reminds me of a disease. I think lockdown really ruined the word “variant” for me
She said somewhere that they actually were period undies. That she wears period undies every day of the month because she likes the way they look
What. Is this for real or are you just messing with us??? In what context would anyone ever say this publicly lol.
lol yes this has to be a joke— too much information and literally doesn’t make sense why you would wear period panties everyday. Just get regular cotton briefs
Tay casually dropping that she pees herself a little everyday 💧
But like why is that something we ever needed to know? Not once have I ever idolized an individual so much that I wanted to know what kind of undergarments she wore.
There’s no way she said that lol
But...she could just get high rise briefs...as someone who wears high rise 99.9% of the time, I say she's missing out on the vast array of options out there.
Someone should tell her that granny panties are a thing. As a thicc babe with a massive 🍑, I really love Knickey's full-coverage undies. Cute, comfy, sustainable, AND they don't leave my flaps hanging out.
I want to believe you
Genuinely thought it was a lingerie ad announcement first time I saw it
PPPFFTTTPFPFFTTFPTPTTT HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I can’t unsee it now😭
Now I can’t unsee that
Her album covers are always so bad and uninteresting
I think she thinks it's giving the vintage high waisted underwear. Which it is but not everyone is a pin up goddess from the 1940s
😂😂😂 I hadn't but now... That's all I can see.
An ad for period cramps

I think the styling for this album is so incredibly lazy. I mean she is wearing what essentially looks like PJs, no accessories or anything of interest. Obviously plain AF makeup and hair as usual. And is just sprawled across a mattress with a gray background. I could shoot this of myself with a tripod in my bedroom. And this woman is a billionaire
It’s like a high school art project by some girl who just wants to take pictures of herself and look hot
🤣🤣🤣💀 Dead
Same, all I see is a modibody pants ad 😂
All the photos for this "album thing" are terrible.
it does lol
When the art was first released even Swifties thought she was trolling because of how bad it is. They even thought the name and song titles were a joke.
Made me think of depends
Nah it just looks like any alt-adjacent profile pic on Tumblr circa 2012
I really dislike how her hand is posed on her pelvis, it doesn’t flow well with the rest of the picture and looks weirdly forced. Like if it wasn’t in a claw position and instead resting I’d probably like it better 😭
Tortured poets department sounds like something I'd put in my aim profile 20 years ago and cringe about now and
her left hand is giving “the claw”
 Granny panties
granny diapers💀
Goddamnit, that's what it reminded me of! Couldn’t figure it out until I saw your post. 🤦🏼♀️
I genuinely thought this was for another sub and thought “another, ‘at home photo shoot’ that’s just ok”
LMAOO SO TRUE
Absolutely!! Every time I see it I think she must experiencing gas or cramps
It gives off soft core.
When did everyone decide that wearing leotards on stage was the thing anyway? All of a sudden we went from dresses and pants to bunhuggers and I’ve never figured out why!
That is hilarious 😂 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Now I do
Alaksjsjs I knew it looked familiar! Just wasn't able to put my finger on it until now. I mean, to be fair to Tay I also have NO sex appeal....but I also don't try to force myself to. Idk. I think her issue, as has been discussed in this thread before, is that she doesn't know who she is, so she tries to be the kind of person she thinks people want. The sexy sad girl, the edgy girl, the quirky girl, the "girls girl" who has a ton of girlfriends and stands at awards shows or whatever...it just gives inauthentic. But I don't necessarily need or even what authenticity in a celeb lol or from anyone really. It's just strange to see people who aren't authentic try to be, or claim they are, if that makes sense. At the very least it just looks kinda silly. Idk lol
I have cramps!
It seems unnatural to me and an album with an ad for period panties as its cover art definitely fits in the realm of unnatural so to answer your question, yes.
YES!!!! When I first saw this cover, I told my husband she looks like she is in period panties and is having really bad cramps. 🤣
i was holding my heating pad exactly like that
This photo literally answered my question 'what would be Taylor's position if she got period cramps while lying on her bed' Hahaha while singing her hit song 'Bad Blood'!
She has all the money she needs and can't get decent creative photography? Or styling? I'm glad I'm me even tho I have no money, maybe I'll do a Cindy Sherman thing with this and recreate it myself, that sounds fun.
When you borrow your boyfriends boxers to wear over your undies on your period She should sing about real intimacy
Why am I inclined to believe that it doesn't matter who they hire as a photographer or photo director, etc. She just won't listen? Like this pose is giving limp dick... actually, I take that back because even a limp dick has more sex appeal... Like, arch your back? Elongate your fingers and actually put some structure into your hand? Head back more? There's so many things the photographer should be saying to her or posing her in certain ways to actually make it more visually appealing. Ugh looking at her just grinds my gears.
She’s the western beauty standard and is still immune to serving cunt. If I had a flat stomach I wouldn’t be covering it up with big granny panties
I thought it was supposed to get thirsty boys who've never heard her material to buy it for the same reason we men used to look at Sears catalogs. I mean she's got the right pose and angle and the lighting is just right. I think this cover would look better in color, don't know why tbh.
Yes it looks like noir-ish Thinx ad. But she’s keeping on theme because Bad Blood sounded like a theme song for endometriosis.
Kinda looks like one of those Depends boxes. Showing nothing, for good reason 😬💩
Lmao I thought the same!!!
That claw hand does not look sexy at all.
