“and then it was bought by me”
i couldn’t care less that taylor isn’t a vocal powerhouse because her voice feels like home to me. it feels like a soft warm blanket or a hug from your mom or the bed in your childhood room. it’s beautiful and earnest and unbridled and uniquely her and i wouldn’t trade it for the world
“When people begin to define the things that they believe in, based upon the exclusion of all the things that they hate, all that does is eat away at the soul. Define the things that you believe in based upon the pursuit of the the things that you love and then that love should be able to override all those things that you hate.”
— C. JoyBell C.
i hope taylor breaks all the records and the stereotypes with ts12 or the re-records. whatever she might be doing next. i hope she just makes a comback so damn beautiful that literally nobody can deny her impact or hate her anymore. and they're see her for what she is. a damn living legend. because she really really is.
I think people on here make judgements far too quickly on new art. let it sink in, let it breathe! not everything is immediately gonna tick all of your boxes, nor should it. that doesn’t mean there’s nothing worthwhile there

evermore is such an insane album when you really think about it. like. love isn't forever. friendship isn't forever. trust isn't forever. family isn't forever. even a marriage isn't forever. but then she ends on evermore (song) and it's like: you know what else isn't forever? pain. suffering. heartache. she just flips the script of the entire album on the LAST SONG and cements the complexity of its core message in 5 minutes. and i'm supposed to be normal about that
you know what’s getting incredibly old? the way some “fans” expect taylor to be their perfect entertainment robot. back in the day, we would spend several months — if not years — enjoying the content we got, rather than demanding more. we’re so ridiculously lucky to be fans of an artist who tries to surprise and delight us at every turn, who gives us so much content to pour over. she doesn’t merely exist for our own consumption, she’s a human being who exists outside of us. please recognise that.
"You should find another guiding light, but I shine so bright" is insane and hurts a lot if I think about that lyric for more than 2 seconds
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you.
it's just that when i love something, i love it loud and i love it long. i've never figured out the halfway of it - when i hold something, i let it scar me.
agreed! the fact that i saw some fans getting upset about the possibility of ts12 because she’s “dragging along the re-records”. she’s not dragging anything, she’s always been the one with the plan as to when they should come out, fans are the ones dragging it
NO EXACTLY. i’m sorry that you made up a schedule in your head or decided she would be finished with them by the time she was finished with eras but she actually can see the bigger picture and knows more about her career and personal plans than we do
ppl love to talk about swifties "turning on" joe after he and taylor broke up but that's not shocking to me at all...fandoms will do that when their fave breaks up with whoever they're dating lmao. I am more interested in the fact that a ton of swifties seemed to start liking joe MORE after they broke up and that the ones who started liking him tended to be ppl who disliked/were neutral about him when they were actually dating. imagine if after taylor and calvin broke up a bunch of swifties started calling him a poor meow meow and saying everyone needed to stop calling him "calcium harvest" bc it's really rude.
sometimes i think about how terrifyingly easy it would’ve been for her to completely give up on herself and let all that grief and anger and uncertainty consume her. but she showed up for herself consistently, whether she wanted to or not, no matter how hard it was, and look where it got her in the end. i hope she’s damn proud of the way she kept going and pulled herself back out again
me too, so much
re: ts12 - i’m just so fucking excited to hear about her from a strong perspective. like yes, there will be emotional depth, but she’s overcome the shit she used to struggle with. her life is so full and complete in every way rn (not just travis). she’s not being bogged down and continuously thinking of her trauma because she can’t escape a melancholy partner who couldn’t pretend to care about her. she’s so herself, and has just completely grown into her power from eras and everything else, and it’ll be so fun to hear that come across in the record too.
so much of the Swiftie Discourse would be resolved if some of y’all could come to terms with the following facts:
a) taylor swift is a human being
b) it is genuinely okay to like both the music AND the person creating said music. constantly looking for evidence that the person behind the music is a bad person is just weird. either like her and the music, or just the music; actively searching for reasons that she’s not who she says she is is fucking odd
Sorry I hate the narrative that being a Swiftie is a curse or just something that happened. I love loving Taylor Swift and I actively choose to listen to her music and connect with people in the fandom because it makes me happy.
“Look at you, worrying so much about things you can’t change. You’ll spend your whole life singing the blues if you keep thinking that way”
art will save you, being unreasonably passionate about something niche will save you, letting past sources of joy show you the way back to yourself will save you, earnestness over composure will save you, the natural world will save you, caring for something bigger than yourself will save you, daring to be seen will save you, kindness not as a whim but a principle will save you, appreciation as a practice will save you, daring to try something new will save you, grounding will save you, love will save you, one good nights sleep will save you
“we do it because people need an escape from how brutal life can be, and it is the honor of a lifetime to be that for them, if only for a night” has me so emotional. this tour has been the best, most magical escape for so many of us over the last two years, and i hope she knows that we feel ridiculously lucky to have experienced it, whether that was in person or via livestreams.
“i heard so many people say that the eras tour felt like a safe space. a place for radical girlhood, boyhood or personhood and unapologetic joy. […] my hope is that you won’t let that behavior end with the end of the eras tour. it doesn’t have to be the end of an era of joy and acceptance. my hope is that you find ways to create these spaces around you in your daily life, your school, your job. that would be a real legacy to leave.” oh i’m a puddle of tears 😭
“we judged ttpd too quickly!” “ttpd was sooo underrated when it came out!!” “ttpd really grew on me” skill issue. i knew ttpd was a top tier album by 12:01 AM on april 19 2024 so don’t assume that your inability to recognize greatness is universal
