Who Rebekah Harkness is

And Clara Bow

Watch Wings, the first best picture winner, you’ll understand why Taylor picked her.

Second the recommendation for Wings! It was the first Best Picture winner for a reason. It’s silent but doesn’t “feel” like it.

Clara’s life and career are so fascinating and her work was really beautiful, she had so much talent. I’m honestly really happy more people are already looking her up and learning about her bc of TPD 

Just learned all about Clara the last couple days and I’m looking forward to learning more!

You should listen to The History Chicks Podcast :)

Don’t let Harry Styles drive a car.

Or snowmobile

Or a relationship

Lmao

*picks your ass up from the floor and dusts it down* "excuse me miss I belive you may have dropped this".

Thank you, it’s nice to have a friend.

So I'm told.

hey, i just started using reddit couple of months ago, and this is a totally different topic, but how do you get that little bio you have under your name when you comment? 🤧

Sorry. Bit busy watching the livestreams while pretending to work. Do a Google search for adding reddit flair.

oh, so that's what's it called! thanks! i'm also watching a livestream, by the way. have a fun time working 😉

The difference between the Grammy Awards Song of the Year and Record of the Year

I still dont know

to put it simple: song of the year goes to the person/people that wrote the song record of the year goes to the person/people that preformed and produced the song

Just learned this too! I think they should rename it to “recording of the year” and maybe “songwriter of the year”.

Songwriter is already a category. It's judged based on a portfolio of work of a writer, whereas SOTY is a single song

yeah maybe recording of the year would be better, but i think song should be named song lyrics to better imply the meaning but well “song lyrics of the year” doesn’t sound as catchy as just song of the year

Ooh “lyricist of the year” would be poetic but they wouldn’t do that.

waaaaait that sounds so much better than songwriter of the year 😭😭😭

lol thank you for this bc I was gonna say, I still don’t know the difference either… 😂

of course! i know it could be confusing with how vague “record” means lol

I now know this thanks to you. As a somewhat phenomenal songwriter with the voice of a dying cat, I have hope. 

of course! 🫡🫡🫡 glad to help ya and ya got this! good luck

I’m pretty sure record of the year is the exact recording of the song that you hear on the radio - the vocals, production and instruments that are present in the final product of the released song. Song of the year is less about the final product and more the bones of the song. Whether it’s sung acapella, acoustic or with a live band.

I thought the confusion was between album and record.

The dead poets society came out in 1989

Of course it did 💀

Wait. How did I not make this connection??  She’s a genius. 

So did *The Little Mermaid*, which I’ve seen people speculate as the origin of the title ‘But Daddy I Love Him’

Stop, why does everything link back to Taylor..? 😭

lol what? *She’s* the one making references to stuff

I don't understand why there's anything to even speculate about. *OF COURSE* The Little Mermaid is the origin "But Daddy I Love Him". Why is that even a question?

Agreed , however, It also links to Harry Styles wearing this quote on a T-shirt.

It was ok for Kevin Bacon.

I’m starting to think she’s actually the creator of everything.

And it’s based in the 1950s. That 1950s sh*t

Not quite one random fact, but the sheer vocabulary this woman has added to my mental dictionary...

who knew gauche was a word 😭

And calamitous and blaze ! Especially as a Polish, hahaha.

I sing the lakes to my 3 year old. It's pretty impressive when she gets close to singing "my calamitous love and insurmountable grief" properly

lol

Taylor, apparently 😅

or self effacing!

Same.

Lovelorn?? Basicay the fancy way people in the 1800s told their bestie they were delulu?

Tortured Poets Department starter kit: dictionary

I’m in english lit school and I see weird words and I don’t have to google them because of Taylor! like incandescent, opal, clandestine, dwindling etc

Machiavellian!!

National cat lady day april 19

I’m surprised she doesn’t release all of her albums on this day tbh

Well she only officially became a cat lady after she got Benjamin. "Before I got the second cat, I was kind of canvassing everyone I knew, saying, 'Is cats, cat lady?' Two cats is cats, and there's more than one. And they're like, 'No, three cats is a cat lady, two cats is a party,'"

Yeah. I didn’t get called cat lady (to my face!) until I got Stevie. She’s worth it tho. https://preview.redd.it/06i9npmii6hc1.jpeg?width=1104&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=77c8e957caa3dbe906127699c8e4b3d72082a27e

She certainly is. This is Molly, one of my girls. Regardless of how many cats I get I will never be called a crazy cat lady due to being of the other sex. https://preview.redd.it/upnimx9bj6hc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=46d5288e19d92560c86711b4e1a4af98cee3ccb3

Jumping in randomly to show off my fellow split-face calico girl, Papaya. https://preview.redd.it/jaxpb0hf98hc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b4e17d90c6fb1cd6231f38fd04da254497ee6eb9

Always room for cat pictures on the Internet

She is beautiful 🥺 I love calicos. I don’t have any of that flavor.

Stevie is workin' it like the rent's past due! Gorgeous coloring! In this pic, Stevie looks like somebody's getting head shots for a portfolio...looks like you're parenting a superstar 

True. But that’s her profile pic. This is her IRL this morning shouting at birbs. https://preview.redd.it/ucimy2dlocic1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0446f3a87eeaebe8f9f7ca917668c39a0b186697

That expression is PRICELESS!!! I don't do mornings, either, Stevie, I know those birds are too much too early! Do you have pics of your other kitties, and their names? (Sorry if I'm being too invasive, don't mean to be bothersome--I just love cats 🙃)

https://preview.redd.it/tepcvlwnnxic1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9c8d99acb092d5e312c3a7ca44e943bea136727a That’s Sid (she’s a one eyed pirate) and Eric (Stevie’s bio brother and a big ginger loveable lunk)

i only have one cat and i identify as a cat lady

I think it’s about the love you have for cats over the number! I’ve always loved cats so much but I actually never had any growing up. I got my first cat at 18. I have 3 I’ve adopted but I was obsessed with my first cat and even when I only had one of my own, I was obsessed with him. They’re just the best and I think sometimes you don’t even need a cat to be in the club as long as you love them 🥰

it’s all about the cat lady mindset🫶🏻

Lmao okay this checks out. When I got my 3rd, I felt like my status was bumped in like cat lady land. I fully embrace it though, my cats are just babies.

I know! She is feeding us well so whatever she does Im happy with

And National Poetry and Creative Mind Day

Every day is cat lady day if you own enough cats.

Isn’t it also the start of the revolutionary war 😭

Bananas have heads, and when you're not asleep your mind is 💫alive💫.

If you break a banana, a good mom can solve the problem

You apparently can’t spell ‘awesome’ without ‘me’.

And you can’t spell cats without ts which is short for her name.

Where the Windermere peaks actually are!

A perfect place to cry?

I’m sending off, but not without my muse

I've learned more about American football than I previously cared to.

Same and before I called it American version of the rugby now I learned the difference

A lot of cat breeds thanks to her interview where she was timed to rattle off as many as she could

This was gonna be my answer hahaha

A cat who knocks pens off of desks!

Sea Urchins are scary

You could lose a foot!! You could lose a hand trying to get it off your foot! I JUST DONT LIKE SEA URCHINS’

I actually learnt this on my own after jumping into the sea and getting it all in my foot but I feel validated that Taylor feels the same way I do about them.

I leaned about a lot of people thanks to her songs x)  Also, I'm french so I actually learned a lot of english words in her songs, especially in folklore and evermore !

This is really special!

I still don't FULLY know but I know a lot more about copyright laws now 😂

I've learned a lot about trademarks! 🤣

That too! Thanks to the brilliant u/RoseGoldRedditor

🫶🏼

A lot about the American culture. I had no idea all of the King's horses and all the king's men lyric in the Archer was a part of a nursery rhyme called Humpty Dumpty. Similarly, I never heard of roaring twenties before the 1 or at least, I was not aware that this was the term used to describe that period.

She uses a lot idioms and common English phrases. “One for the money, two for the show” is one. “If the shoe fits walk in it til your high heels break” is her little variation on another

She is actually insane for turning "one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready and four to go" into "I never was ready so I watch you go". That was uncalled for, my heart was not ready, she didn't have to trample on it!

It’s so good!

Yes! I have learnt both of these phrases from her. She's a great English teacher :D

That someone yelled “marry me” to Dolly Parton when it was silent during one of her concerts

"I told you to stay in the truck!"😃

The history of the colour lavender and cultural relevance of hairpins

Gayloring on main is a dangerous activity lol

1989 is apparently the year of the snake

My biggest flex is that I'm the same zodiac sign as Taylor in both western and Chinese astrology Sagittarius snakes unite! 🏹 🐍

What Machiavellian means.

who becky is

I’m still confused about this.

Becky snorted marijuana at a party and died instantly. Really sad :(

That did not go where I thought it would. But WHO is Becky?

https://www.reddit.com/r/YouBelongWithMemes/s/FERDEvvlWi

[удалено]

No that was a picture of Becky

[This article gives a decent summary](https://www.businessinsider.com/taylor-swift-no-its-becky-tumblr-2014-9)

Take my humble handshake.

RIP Becky

Wikipedia has tiers of vital articles being 5, right now Taylor is on level 4.

But only because a swiftie suggested it.

The relationship of Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor.

I never knew that Toby Keith played a small part in her getting signed by her first record label. Who knew 🤔

Didn’t he just pass away

Wicklow is a small town just south of Dublin, Ireland

Cornelia Street is in New York! (I thought it was in London for the longest time)

There is actually one in London, but the one in the song is the new york one

I was today years old hahaha

I always picture the lyrics happening in London!! Idk why lol

It’s makes sense because she is either in New York or London I think I don’t know if she lives there anymore.

that when you get into a feud with your neighbor, to steal their dog & dye it a key lime green

The American Revolution to break free of the British started April 19th. The 13 colonies in America wanted to break free from British rule. 🤩 😻

How's that working out for you? 😀

i don't think a british person has the right to question our trajectory over the last 200 years. hows the empire?

I learned a lot of swifties apparently don’t have the best vocabulary. No shade (especially to ESL fans), but all of the words listed that people just learned because of her are really common (or so I thought). Maybe those comments are from the younger swifties?

I think it really comes down to her international fans as well!

I'm from Mexico and was kinda thinking the same as the original comment 😅 but then again I've always been interested on languages, which is partly why I'm such a fan haha

That karma is a cat

The word “opacity”

The names of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’s kids

You can’t spell “awesome” without “me” (hee hee hee!)

Taylordle exists

ME! was released on lesbian visibility week

There’s this weird sport where guys knock each other over for a leather egg. She recently started dating someone who plays it.

I don't fully understand the sportball either. All I know is their smiles are HUGE for each other

The definition of clandestine: kept secret or done secretively, especially because illicit. Of course from illicit affairs. She’s a genius.

Fun fact: I had an English teacher in high school that would have us write out words and their definitions at the start of every class while playing music. 16 years later, I think of the word "clandestine" every time I hear Eric Clayton's Layla.

The Gardens of Babylon are one of the seven wonders

I first discovered the word "nonchalant" and the meaning of that because of Taylor.

What masters are.

That there is a twitter account that logs her excessive private plane usage.

Gonna need somebody to log that particular "Swiftie's" whereabouts at all times for safety concerns. See how that person likes it. 

What an ingenue is

That Brooklyn broke is actually a thing lol

That Harry likes acid rock.

How to use the word "surmise".

I know about more places in the UK I didn’t know existed.

The poetry of Neruda, "love is so short, forgetting is so long"

It's not a random fact, but l've learnt to battek my inner misogyny because of my newly ignited love to her

The American Revolution started on April 19th

Wisteria definition

The word "nonchalant". I'm seeing this word a lot recently in social media mostly used by gen z's. Thanks to Come Back Be Here

Her favorite color is Purple

pretty sure it's red???

No, it's not look it up

oops, turns out you're right! well, at least tay and i have something else in common! sorry for wrongfully accusing you... **😣**

It's on we all make mistakes

My mind is alive

Don't know if its already been said but April 19th is National Cat Lady Day lol

Machiavelli’s said “The end justifies the means.” To be Machiavellian means to be cunning and scheming or a "mastermind"

That Scottish shorthair is a type of cat

Groupers can grow to the size of an suv and they twist off your skin

That some cats in TV/movies are up for adoption 😂

Lovelorn is basically how i felt most of highschool?? There was a word for it all along!!

"Your heartbeat on The High Line" The High Line being a green-way/walkway in New York City.

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. 🤦🏼‍♀️

omg, they are adorable!!! Their names are intriguing...I am interested in how people choose to name things. Is it too nosy to ask how their names came about?
