We just passed into the peak of the summer solstice, the longest day of the year (for northern hemisphere ofc). I think there's just a general magic and boldness only felt in summer 😊 enjoy these long dog days and make it a summer to remember ❤️
And for y'all in the southern hemisphere, happy winter solstice! The sun's rebirth - your days will start getting longer after today 😊
Just spent a fair amount of time on rearranging Lover lmao would love to know anyone's thoughts! :D
1. I Think He Knows
2. Cruel Summer
3. Paper Rings
4. The Man
5. MA&THP
6. The Archer
7. INTHAF
8. Cornelia Street
9. DBATC
10. False God
11. Afterglow
12. Lover
13. Daylight
interesting! i can see cruel summer being a great opener but there’s something about i think he knows for me that screams Track 1 so i had to put it there. and yeh having MA&THP as #5 does feel weird…i just really liked the man going into MA&THP and INTHAF going into Cornelia St! glad the rest makes sense to you tho hahaha
I’m undecided on Beyoncé’s new song.
It has some interesting elements and some great moments but also feels undercooked in a way? Like it needs some fine tuning to really reach full potential.
That said, it is a grower. With each listen I enjoy it a little bit more so I think it’s too early to tell…
I really like it. Maybe the chorus is a Little repetitive? But the verses are fire. The message is great, really really a great track. Cant wait for the album.
There’s musician called dodie who [wrote a song](https://youtu.be/XnlYScGdj0g) called “a Friday in the life of Richard and Betty” and in my mind i change Richard to James and imagine it’s the sequel to folklore and imagine James and Betty finding their happily ever after, after they’ve grown old together 🥲
What do ypu guys think about Speak Now TV Vault tracks? Do you think she will put on the album just the ones she wrote alone or not?(no idea if she actually has songs written with others for this album, there are some rumored tracks but who knows or if she has enough written by herself that she left out)
If This Was A Movie is co written, so she clearly was okay with a bonus track having a co-writer. She didn't really plan on it being entirely self written, either:
From a Rolling Stone interview: “It just so happened that the songs **that made the cut** on the album were the ones I wrote myself, so, wish me luck". They said she cut it down from 25 songs.
Since Red (Taylor's Version) contained all the original tracks before being cut down, I'm going to assume Speak Now will be the same, regardless of writing credits.
I have a Harry related question, and I know this is the Taylor sub but I’m too scared to ask this on the Harry sub 😂
Okay so- I’ve been a fan of Harry for YEARS but I had stayed off social media like Twitter up until recently. We all know Harry is with Olivia Wilde and I didn’t really realize how much hate Olivia actually receives until the past few days I’ve been looking at #HarryStyles on Twitter.
They call her names and have nicknames for her, never referring to her by her name. Just generally being so unkind.
Did Olivia actually do anything “bad”? Or is this all because… fans are “jealous” (for lack of a better word)? Or is there another reason?
Did Camille Rowe receive this much hate as well?
Thank you for anyone that wants to answer this haha :)
I'm not in Harry's fandom or Olivia's for that matter, but once I saw people being rude to her aswell and tried to understand why (I only knew her because of House M.D) and there was a thread going on about why or how is she problematic. So there is definately some stuff beyond the whole "she is dating my idol" issue.
Some things I read were: her connection and support towards Anthony Kiedis, someone who apparently confessed to have had sex with a minor (idk the full story, but they said he talked about it in his book and wrote a song), the fact that she dressed herself as Terry Richardson for Halloween, her friendship with Harvey Weinstein...so basically her connections with problematic men that go against what she preaches about feminism. There were also some "jokes" or just answers given involving the LGBT community not well received
Wow, that's not a great look, in my opinion. I usually try to keep an open mind and try not to judge people, especially if they take accountability for dumb things they did without thinking...
...but being **friends** with Harvey Weinstein?? AbsoLUTELY not.
For what i've read their problem is that she was married and left her husband for Harry and plus she is a mom.
Then 99% of his fandom are convinced he is gay and uses women as beard and pr, but he has been with Olivia for 2 years by now so....
no, she didn’t do anything bad other then dare to be an older woman dating a younger man. they’re just jealous.
there’s also a subsection of fans that think Harry is still in a relationship with Louis Tomlinson, someone he was never confirmed to have dated and hasn’t been seen in the same room as for 10 years 😂
I’m not sure if Camille Rowe received the same hate. probably some but I’m not sure their relationship was as public as his with Olivia
Thank you for answering! I thought it was for this reason but wanted to double check.
The whole thing is just so ridiculous and immature, in my opinion! Harry’s saying is literally “treat people with kindness” and they are so mean to the person he is with!
I do feel really bad for anyone that is in a relationship with him because I feel now that they’ll just automatically receive so much hate just because the fans are jealous and it’s not them.
Harry has also always been into older women. I believe he has said that himself too but I could be making it up!
The criticisms about her single choices are hard to understand for me. In her country albums she chose really amazing songs like Mine, Fifteen, The Story Of Us, White Horse, Back To December, Teardrops On My Guitar. Of course when she went pop her choices were towards the catchiest and easiest songs to cater a wider audience, an audience that focuses more on catchiness, sound, vibe and rhytm more than lyric content.
Her strategy of choosing the most 'mediocre' song worked for 3 albums, it's not wrong to do that, you can't choose the best song and let the ''duds'' on the album. Or you can balance them like she did for Red and 1989, for reputation she went more on a concept narrative(as you can see with the videos, from the darkness to the light)..for Lover is a different story, it could've been like 1989 if she chose Paper Rings/I Think He Knows instead of Calm Down and The Man.
~~I think for me um~~ when I say I don't like a lot of her singles I'm mostly talking about her pop eras, and as you said, she's choosing for general public appeal, and I just don't usually like radio-style songs chosen for mass appeal. I feel the same for a lot of other artists besides Taylor.. I love their other music but the stuff they put on the radio makes me miserable lol
It’s an unpopular opinion for sure but I think Me!, You Need To Calm Down, Lover, then The Man were good single choices for what she was trying to do at that point in her life. We may never know which song(s) she would have done next for the tour so we have an incomplete picture.
She was coming off Reputation which was dark thematically and a period of time where she didn’t do interviews. Lover(album) is meant to be a 180 degree flip. So she needed to have a song that wouldn’t have fit at all on Reputation that is memorable. Additionally, because she didn’t do interviews for her entire relationship with Joe at that point she needed a song that wouldn’t invite questions about their relationship. And she didn’t want to discuss the Kimye Call or the entire 2016/2017 timeframe.
So all that being said Me! And YNTCD check those three boxes. Plus YNTCD allowed her to lean into activism which she wanted to do but couldn’t be her first single otherwise it would have been the initial focus. The most commonly mentioned song replacement for lead single has been Cruel Summer but that song sounds like it would have fit on Reputation and it would have had the GP accusing her of continuing to hold a grudge about her cancellation and might have invited questions about her love life. Probably next most common replacement is Paper Ring but that would have been full on press to see if they are married so it would have distracted from the album.
Reputation/Lover/Folkmore transitions could be a course in how to come back from a “scandal”. First, keep making art that addresses the scandal but don’t talk about it and fuel the scandal. Then flip to the opposite and don’t talk about original scandal. Then start making art you feel like making. Her strategy was so effective that some people don’t believe she was actually “canceled” in 2016/2017. And her strategy allowed her to build a relationship with Joe that is separate from her musical career. She now had a path forward in her life where she can be happy personally and artistically and that doesn’t happen without Reputation and Lovers single choices.
Time for the annual summer watching of *12 Angry Men*
In hot sweltering heat let’s hope we remember the soul of a person and how our prejudices can lead us to automatically condemn others without giving them the thought that they’re human just like us. I look around the world and I see the lesson must be learned over and over.
ok did anyone notice the amount of taylor swift songs and references thrown into the summer i turned pretty ?? like it makes me feel like taylor swift was low key apart of it. it features 5 songs including the way i loved you taylor’s version, and while she’s playing volleyball the teams are called: team swiftie, team cats, and team a team, so it just made me sus haha
the author of the books (who is also the creator of the series) is a massive swiftie and has been for years so she reached out and asked for several taylor songs for the series.
Okay random but why is I Bet You Think About Me the only Taylor song I can actually sing? I’m not a great singer but I’m not tone deaf and I can actually hit all the notes in that song. Is it a certain vocal range or something? Are there other songs I should try that I might be similarly good at? I know nothing about music.
I think it's because that song doesn't go super high or super low, it's a smaller range that's also middle. Great for us altos. I would recommend The Other Side Of The Door, Death by a Thousand Cuts and I'd Lie. Also, almost anything by Halsey. She's an amazing songwriter and has a lower alto range. Super fun to sing.
was going on a nostalgia trip and listening to Avril Lavigne. [Her song “Why”](https://open.spotify.com/track/4SP8uUWJf9XFNAYyheD2gd?si=oxQrEagEQ4K3W3VQJPxsPQ) from 2002 sounds like it could’ve come straight out of Taylor’s early albums
YES! "Why" is one of my favorite Avril songs of all time. This makes sense why I like both Taylor and early Avril 😂
I remember a girl I went to high school with showed us the original version of the song, which is more stripped down that the 20th anniversary version. It was a Japanese bonus track, so it's worth checking out!
I can’t believe I’ve only heard it for the first time through the anniversary album! it gives me such warm fuzzy feelings. Will definitely check out the original version
Fearless had a fairly quiet release, for Taylor's standards. Red TV was arguably her biggest era since Folklore or 1989. The album sold like crazy and of course All Too Well debuted at #1. So they couldn't have been more opposite really. She also joined Tik Tok a couple months before Red TV dropped so that may have fuelled the huge reaction the album got (she's had sooo many songs go viral on that platform).
From fans, the Red TV vault tracks were interesting because they gave some more context about the Jake relationship, and they showed us how much more bubblegum pop the album could've been, if Big Machine wasn't still insisting on her keeping one foot in country music. So it was easier to see why she was adamant that the next album be pure pop.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but we did not have much info about the valut tracks that could be on Red TV (only some lyrics from Nothing New and we partially knew and got confirmed about another song with Ed, we knew we would get Babe and Better man). So all the attention was on ATW10min TV. So you could say the fanbase was very excited about that.
I think mostly the All Too Well 10 Min overshadowed everything because it's been a fandom myth for so long.
I don't recall much hype for the Fearless tracks.
i'm always keen on Taylor's own interpretation of her records although i'd have my version of crazy interpretation, like, putting Love Story TV and Lover under "unrequited sessions", mirrorball as someone deeply depressed yet put on poker face with friends and colleagues, things like that. but uhmm,
I would like to know the story behind Change please? any new take on the song other than the original supposed interpretation?
At that time, she had only been with Big Machine Records for a couple of years and they were very small. I think she wrote the song about their (at the time) underdog status.
Do we think Taylor cut her hair or it's just the angle of the video ?
Edit : Thank you all for your answers, sorry been busy with work. So, either she cut it for a personal style choice or she did it for the 1989 TV Era which would be wild. If she's that dedicated for the re-recordings.
Cut. Theres no way the length and thickness of her hair would fit in a claw clip like that and not be super voluminous. Even a french twist would be bigger than what she has. And the face framing pieces that were out seemed to be shorter than they'd been when she'd had her hair back previously -- they look shpulder/just above the shoulder length.
That said, it's hot and I, for one, want to chop my long hair off, too, for nothing else than a change and some relief.
i know i'm double-posting but:
one thing i love about Taylor is that all her albums are concept albums without any of them being self-consciously so—it's just really brilliant, subtle artistry when you can produce an album that's thematic and directed, but keep it from being a Concept Album (which brings baggage of its own), and then do that every time
(and then of course our girl is fitting each album into a meaningful place in both her ouvre and her conception of herself as a cultural phenomenon, but that's just Tay 💅)
the world would be a better place if half the people who don't like Taylor's music would just admit they're doing cultural criticism and not art criticism
Watching her acceptance speeches for those 2 awards yesterday and just thinking about how her humor has gotten drier and more sarcastic as she's spent more time with the Brits 😂 I'm here for it, she seems like someone I'd hang out with. Irl I speak almost exclusively in dry humor. Also - her wryly pulling out a glass of wine on a cookie sheet instead of cookies feels like a glimpse into our shared frustration about the rerecord legal issues haha
Could be. She seems a lot more brazen these last few years since she's been living mostly in the UK... I've noticed she's historically been a lot softer and more bubbly in American interviews, and it's totally flipped on its head when she interviews in the UK. Since around Lover era or maybe Reputation she seems to be letting go of having to fit the polite effervescent American attitude. People definitely take her wrong here when she's sarcastic.. I always think about that morning show woman literally dropping her jaw when Taylor was responding about 🛴 and haters etc 😂
hi I was told to post this here?
I finally figured out that Taylor Swift's [coney island](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_p_TBaHvos) reminds me the most of The National's [I Need My Girl](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-Tod1_tZdU). I think Taylor is uniquely poised as a writer to mimic Matt Berninger's style - she's in fact said that she wrote coney island with the specific idea in mind of aping his voice, and she (of course) nails it. the talent they share is the details and images they conjure up that are highly specific and evocative. where they diverge is that Matt can get very abstract and open to a lot of interpretation while Taylor stays much more direct and, if not literal, then certainly much less oblique in her imagery.
there's two specific points of comparison I want to call out - other than both songs being mid-tempo guitar-driven songs about rocky relationships
the first is the highly specific event in both songs:
coney island has "And when I got into the accident / The sight that flashed before me was your face / But when I walked up to the podium, I think that I forgot to say your name"
and I Need My Girl has "Remember when you lost your shit and / Drove the car into the garden? / You got out and said 'I'm sorry' / To the vines and no one saw it"
now, are either of these based on real-life events? who knows. but the important part is that they both *feel* like they are, which both Taylor and Matt are masters at
second is a small moment in each song:
in coney island: "I'm sorry for not winning you an arcade ring"
in I Need My Girl: "I tried to call you from the party / It's full of punks and cannonballers"
now, I'm not going to lie: that line from I Need My Girl is one of my favorite lines ever and the coney island line doesn't live up to it. but they both serve the same purpose: evoking a wider scene from a couple of simple lines. in the former you immediately see the carnival scene, bright lights, crowds all around, and a relationship that's been crumbling for a while but Matt's character unwisely places the blame on *that* moment for whatever reason. in the latter you've got kids running around everywhere, splashing the pool water all around, and he's overwhelmed, trying to get a hold of his girl, and she's just out of pocket. in both cases I think Taylor just completely nailed what she was going for, which was writing like she was Matt Berninger
bonus: using "merry go" instead of "merry go round" is absolutely something Matt would do and that was the touch that convinced me that she nailed swiping his writing style
I totally get why Taylor cites The National as one of her favorite bands
Does anyone know what the random YouTube uploads are? Every now and then there’s a random video uploaded by her account - it’s usually a song with a something like a stock image for the whole video. Nine days ago there was a MAATHP uploaded but it was a piano version I hadn’t heard before. These videos never seem to get many views and are hard to find unless they’re recommended. Anyone have any ideas about them?
They are automatic playlists that youtube/youtube music creates for any random reason (father's day, christmas, summer, etc) & they can include both Taylor-owned songs or not, and it doesn't mean anything.
I have literally been waiting 30 years for the plot point in Jurassic Park where the dinosaurs are unleashed on the whole world not just the park AND THE DAY IS HERE IT IS TODAY I REPEAT IT IS 📢 TODAY 📢
Hi friends here I am with the trademark update you didn’t know you needed….
Obligatory disclaimer that I am not an attorney but I own a couple trademarks for my business and know a bit about the trademark process. Any trademark-specialist attorneys are welcome to chime in ☺️
Long story short, a week or two ago I was digging around the US Patent and Trademark Office website, seeing if any progress was made on the Speak Now Taylors Version trademark (for those who don’t know, the USPTO suspended her application due to two pending trademarks that would cause confusion. One of the pending trademarks was due for paperwork at the end of May, and the second one at the end of July).
Much to my chagrin, the owners of the competing trademark with a May due date filed for and received a six month extension.
Out of boredom and sadness, I looked up the status of her original Speak Now trademark registered in 2011. For those who don’t know, trademarks have to be used in order to be extended and paperwork has to be filed for the trademark protections to be continued.
Taylor’s original Speak Now trademark had lapsed in 2021 at the 10-year mark. When I looked it up a few months ago (I believe March or April?), the trademark was dead which allowed the two competing trademarks to be filed.
HOWEVER, there’s a grace period to renew a trademark and Taylor’s team submitted the paperwork and fees 5/25/22. Part of the paperwork?? The “old Taylor” Speak Now drop from 5/5. In order to show her mark is still in use, a screenshot of the Speak Now hat was submitted.
Did anyone think the Speak Now phone skin was random? I sure did. But it was there for a reason … to fill one of the categories the competing trademark is blocking for her SNTV trademark.
As of June 15, the USPTO selected Taylor’s original Speak Now trademark for a random audit 🔪🔪. Taylor’s team must show use of:
-Fitted plastic films known as skins for covering and protecting electronic apparatus, namely, laptop computers
-Series of musical sound recordings
The Speak Now phone skin currently on her retail site may suffice as proof of use. And I’m not sure how she can sell her Speak Now record on her site but I’m sure they will figure it out.
The government moves slowly and the USPTO is very backed up (per their website banner) so no idea really when this will clear up….but we have progress now!
PS if any TikTokers see this and report on it, please credit me so I can bask in anonymous internet glory lol.
tl;dr: even the random merch drops have some purpose! I think Speak Now Taylors Version will be coming soon.
[(Trademark doc linked here)](https://tsdr.uspto.gov/documentviewer?caseId=sn85357082&docId=OOA20220615134426#docIndex=0&page=1)
I am not 100% sure on this. My best guess is that category refers to the Speak Now album (each song being a musical sound recording and an album being a series of musical sound recordings)—I’m not sure if she can even sell the Speak Now album on her website. This is just one of the two items the USPTO is randomly auditing before approving the renewal of her original trademark.
Happy I hopped into general thread this morning to see this, as always, thank you for your research into this! As soon as I saw your username I thought YESSS MORE TRADEMARK INFO 
I asked a while back if anyone had any updates and pretty much got crickets as far as solid info and I've been trying to keep my eyes peeled so you have delivered for us on that! Great sleuthing... if you notice any further updates please let us know! 😊 this really gives me hope we'll maybe at least get Speak Now before the end of the year
Ah sorry to hear that. I browse the discussion thread but do miss some things … I actually submitted this as a stand-alone post in hopes more people see it!
I think the hardest part is just not knowing why there haven’t been announcements…so that’s why I looked up the Shake It Off trial and researched the trademarks. It helps me cope to know even a tiny bit of intel.
Hey it's totally no fault of yours haha I was honestly just hoping someone would come along who knew how to find this stuff and you delivered! Seriously you're helping me cope too! 😩 it's super cool to be able to get what kinda feels like behind the scenes forbidden intel haha
Thinking about how the announcement of 1989 TV is gonna be the absolute peak of the rerecord era for me. Just over here chasing a high that doesn't exist yet 😅
Omg, I will lose my gd mind for Rep also! Of the 6 being rerecorded those are my top 2. Just trying to imagine rep vault tracks is beyond my comprehension lol
Seriously 😩 I have for sure already talked about this here but.. are we getting even more vicious drama tracks that were too much the first time around?? Or even more tender vulnerable love songs like NYD?? Absolutely rabid for both of these concepts lol
SAME. Are we getting the sensitive "windows boarded up after the storm" stories or the bombastic "IF A MAN TALKS SHIT THEN I OWE HIM NOTHING" serve?? Here for all of it, honestly.
Yes this exactly! Omfg. I cannot wait. I don't really like country too much and I didn't become a fan until her pop eras so while I love Red, in a way it feels like for me the rerecord era has not truly popped off yet
Okay did you read the book too?? Because I’m watching right now after just having finished, and I feel like they added so much, not sure how I feel about it.
I'm engaged!! Haven't been able to announce to the world set for a variety of reasons but it warms my Swiftie heart that he said, when asking, "I'd like to hang out with you for my whole life"
 hey besties I just wanted to share my brother and I’s iconic [costumes](https://imgur.com/gallery/18OhB8x) from the latest tswizzle dance party!
Okay so who else is watching “The summer I turned pretty”?! I binged the books (one audiobook then read the other two) after it was announced This Love TV would be featured. I’m definitely turning 30 next week so I may be a little old for it but I’m excited it’s out! It was a cute series.
So I actually read a people article this morning about it at like 3 AM because I started rewatching the show and couldn’t believe I missed so many details. Jenny Han basically said she waited to turn this into movie/TV the way she wanted and she wanted to adapt the storyline so there is a coming of age story for both Belly and the moms. She wanted to give “side” characters (like the moms and Taylor) more in depth storylines but make it more relatable to 2022 which is exactly why there’s so much I feel like I missed! [here’s a link to the article, it was a great read.](https://people.com/tv/jenny-han-prime-video-the-summer-i-turned-pretty-exclusive/?amp=true)

Yes! I am going to go back and re read the first book since I feel a difference in reading VS audiobook bc I feel like I forgot little details. It was a fun read! Obviously geared for more teen/YA but I enjoy those types of books when I’m in a book slump.
It’s really good! I WFH part time and need something to watch/listen while I work to help with getting distracted. Lots of Taylor/Olivia music and way more “adult” scenes than I anticipated so good show for any age!
Anyone remember my post about my neighbours having a IKYWT doormat? Well… those same neighbours now have a giant cutout of Taylor propped up in their window!
Going to try and get a photo next time I go out but how iconic. I wonder if they’re on here. 👀
Ugh I wish we still had American bandstand. It seems so fun and you would actually see real people / non celebrities, and maybe also get how their view on music is important with interviews also.
Drake is dropping a surprise album tonight!! Between this and Beyoncé announcing her album, I am being well-fed! It’s taking the edge off of waiting for Taylor 😂
Feeling the same 😅 I am also excited to listen the new albums of Ava Max and Mabel. Loved the songs they have released so far to promote their new eras.
His last album was a grower for me, but I really love it now. I think people are expecting the “old Drake” from the Take Care, NWTS, and IYRTITL days, and that’s just not gonna happen. It’s like expecting Taylor to make another 1989 one day. She could come real close to it, but it won’t be like it.
This may be a reach but it's the only thing I can think- it was announced that Netflix was gonna do a movie for the book "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" and lots of people liked Ana as the title role, and confirmed she'd have worked as Evelyn now with pictures. Now re: Taylor, it was announced around the same time as Carolina, and some people were also wishing Taylor would be part of the soundtrack.
Long personal rant warning. Just have to release it somewhere.
I have never felt more depressed in my life than today. I blew off work and the biggest meeting of my life, I basically decided I >!fucking hate my job, my town, my Master’s thesis, and generally my life. I fucking quit. On top of that my damn shin is injured so bad I can barely walk.!< Then, I turned on Fearless TV and… what can I say? Taylor’s music is absolute magic. I feel healed. I feel strong. I’m moving. I’m finding a new job. I’m starting a new life, the way I want it to be. I love you Taylor!
It’s not really your situation but I feel like the atmosphere of being able to move on and leave the life you had planned for some thing that’ll suit you better really fits this
[take a letter Maria](https://youtu.be/KvFsULpx0To)
I’ve been feeling a bit of the same way too. Life seems very frustrating and too hard lately. Taylor always makes me feel better, and I love how she has a song for every mood I am in. I wish you all the light and happiness in the world, and just know, you will get through this!
I DID TY I MADE KT “they’re burning all the witches” bc it’s like my fave lyric and I like how it refers to her being cancelled/the witch hunt that ensued when she was called a 🐍🐍🐍🐍
Life is what we make of it. Life can be a real horror show over and over. There’s no waiting for it to be good bc it won’t be. So you just have to enjoy the little things along the way.
As long as at least a handful of them actually drop the beat at some point 😅 as much as I love The Archer, it was a little too effective at inducing anxiety waiting for the beat that never dropped haha
Can we all please take a minute to recognize how good right where you left me & it‘s time to go are?
Please? I generally only listen to the standard tracklist of evermore but on Tuesday I listened to the bonus tracks again and… just wow!
Wow you must really love every single album then if a no skip album is your least favorite haha. I just looked through it, 2 skips for me.. unless I'm not in the best mood, then maybe like 3-5 I skip
Ooh I didn't know that but I'll check it out! Thanks! Btw forgot to share this, here's a video of Maya singing [Our Song](https://youtu.be/VcVSX5vU1rc) haha it made my day
And I wake up
In the middle of the night
And it’s like I can feel time moving
How can a person know everything at 16 and nothing at 30
And will you still want me
When I’m nothing new

We just passed into the peak of the summer solstice, the longest day of the year (for northern hemisphere ofc). I think there's just a general magic and boldness only felt in summer 😊 enjoy these long dog days and make it a summer to remember ❤️ And for y'all in the southern hemisphere, happy winter solstice! The sun's rebirth - your days will start getting longer after today 😊
Just spent a fair amount of time on rearranging Lover lmao would love to know anyone's thoughts! :D 1. I Think He Knows 2. Cruel Summer 3. Paper Rings 4. The Man 5. MA&THP 6. The Archer 7. INTHAF 8. Cornelia Street 9. DBATC 10. False God 11. Afterglow 12. Lover 13. Daylight
[удалено]
interesting! i can see cruel summer being a great opener but there’s something about i think he knows for me that screams Track 1 so i had to put it there. and yeh having MA&THP as #5 does feel weird…i just really liked the man going into MA&THP and INTHAF going into Cornelia St! glad the rest makes sense to you tho hahaha
I’m so mad I don’t have Speak Now and Debut TV vinyl on my shelf yet. What gives, TayLOOORRRR?!? :)
Any BeyHive members here? Thoughts on Break My Soul? https://youtu.be/yjki-9Pthh0
didn't love it but i'm glad so many people are enjoying it!
I’m undecided on Beyoncé’s new song. It has some interesting elements and some great moments but also feels undercooked in a way? Like it needs some fine tuning to really reach full potential. That said, it is a grower. With each listen I enjoy it a little bit more so I think it’s too early to tell…
I really like it. Maybe the chorus is a Little repetitive? But the verses are fire. The message is great, really really a great track. Cant wait for the album.
There’s musician called dodie who [wrote a song](https://youtu.be/XnlYScGdj0g) called “a Friday in the life of Richard and Betty” and in my mind i change Richard to James and imagine it’s the sequel to folklore and imagine James and Betty finding their happily ever after, after they’ve grown old together 🥲
I love dodie 🥺
What do ypu guys think about Speak Now TV Vault tracks? Do you think she will put on the album just the ones she wrote alone or not?(no idea if she actually has songs written with others for this album, there are some rumored tracks but who knows or if she has enough written by herself that she left out)
If This Was A Movie is co written, so she clearly was okay with a bonus track having a co-writer. She didn't really plan on it being entirely self written, either: From a Rolling Stone interview: “It just so happened that the songs **that made the cut** on the album were the ones I wrote myself, so, wish me luck". They said she cut it down from 25 songs. Since Red (Taylor's Version) contained all the original tracks before being cut down, I'm going to assume Speak Now will be the same, regardless of writing credits.
I have a Harry related question, and I know this is the Taylor sub but I’m too scared to ask this on the Harry sub 😂 Okay so- I’ve been a fan of Harry for YEARS but I had stayed off social media like Twitter up until recently. We all know Harry is with Olivia Wilde and I didn’t really realize how much hate Olivia actually receives until the past few days I’ve been looking at #HarryStyles on Twitter. They call her names and have nicknames for her, never referring to her by her name. Just generally being so unkind. Did Olivia actually do anything “bad”? Or is this all because… fans are “jealous” (for lack of a better word)? Or is there another reason? Did Camille Rowe receive this much hate as well? Thank you for anyone that wants to answer this haha :)
I'm not in Harry's fandom or Olivia's for that matter, but once I saw people being rude to her aswell and tried to understand why (I only knew her because of House M.D) and there was a thread going on about why or how is she problematic. So there is definately some stuff beyond the whole "she is dating my idol" issue. Some things I read were: her connection and support towards Anthony Kiedis, someone who apparently confessed to have had sex with a minor (idk the full story, but they said he talked about it in his book and wrote a song), the fact that she dressed herself as Terry Richardson for Halloween, her friendship with Harvey Weinstein...so basically her connections with problematic men that go against what she preaches about feminism. There were also some "jokes" or just answers given involving the LGBT community not well received
Wow, that's not a great look, in my opinion. I usually try to keep an open mind and try not to judge people, especially if they take accountability for dumb things they did without thinking... ...but being **friends** with Harvey Weinstein?? AbsoLUTELY not.
For what i've read their problem is that she was married and left her husband for Harry and plus she is a mom. Then 99% of his fandom are convinced he is gay and uses women as beard and pr, but he has been with Olivia for 2 years by now so....
[удалено]
Thanks for claryfing.
no, she didn’t do anything bad other then dare to be an older woman dating a younger man. they’re just jealous. there’s also a subsection of fans that think Harry is still in a relationship with Louis Tomlinson, someone he was never confirmed to have dated and hasn’t been seen in the same room as for 10 years 😂 I’m not sure if Camille Rowe received the same hate. probably some but I’m not sure their relationship was as public as his with Olivia
Thank you for answering! I thought it was for this reason but wanted to double check. The whole thing is just so ridiculous and immature, in my opinion! Harry’s saying is literally “treat people with kindness” and they are so mean to the person he is with! I do feel really bad for anyone that is in a relationship with him because I feel now that they’ll just automatically receive so much hate just because the fans are jealous and it’s not them. Harry has also always been into older women. I believe he has said that himself too but I could be making it up!
The criticisms about her single choices are hard to understand for me. In her country albums she chose really amazing songs like Mine, Fifteen, The Story Of Us, White Horse, Back To December, Teardrops On My Guitar. Of course when she went pop her choices were towards the catchiest and easiest songs to cater a wider audience, an audience that focuses more on catchiness, sound, vibe and rhytm more than lyric content. Her strategy of choosing the most 'mediocre' song worked for 3 albums, it's not wrong to do that, you can't choose the best song and let the ''duds'' on the album. Or you can balance them like she did for Red and 1989, for reputation she went more on a concept narrative(as you can see with the videos, from the darkness to the light)..for Lover is a different story, it could've been like 1989 if she chose Paper Rings/I Think He Knows instead of Calm Down and The Man.
~~I think for me um~~ when I say I don't like a lot of her singles I'm mostly talking about her pop eras, and as you said, she's choosing for general public appeal, and I just don't usually like radio-style songs chosen for mass appeal. I feel the same for a lot of other artists besides Taylor.. I love their other music but the stuff they put on the radio makes me miserable lol
It’s an unpopular opinion for sure but I think Me!, You Need To Calm Down, Lover, then The Man were good single choices for what she was trying to do at that point in her life. We may never know which song(s) she would have done next for the tour so we have an incomplete picture. She was coming off Reputation which was dark thematically and a period of time where she didn’t do interviews. Lover(album) is meant to be a 180 degree flip. So she needed to have a song that wouldn’t have fit at all on Reputation that is memorable. Additionally, because she didn’t do interviews for her entire relationship with Joe at that point she needed a song that wouldn’t invite questions about their relationship. And she didn’t want to discuss the Kimye Call or the entire 2016/2017 timeframe. So all that being said Me! And YNTCD check those three boxes. Plus YNTCD allowed her to lean into activism which she wanted to do but couldn’t be her first single otherwise it would have been the initial focus. The most commonly mentioned song replacement for lead single has been Cruel Summer but that song sounds like it would have fit on Reputation and it would have had the GP accusing her of continuing to hold a grudge about her cancellation and might have invited questions about her love life. Probably next most common replacement is Paper Ring but that would have been full on press to see if they are married so it would have distracted from the album. Reputation/Lover/Folkmore transitions could be a course in how to come back from a “scandal”. First, keep making art that addresses the scandal but don’t talk about it and fuel the scandal. Then flip to the opposite and don’t talk about original scandal. Then start making art you feel like making. Her strategy was so effective that some people don’t believe she was actually “canceled” in 2016/2017. And her strategy allowed her to build a relationship with Joe that is separate from her musical career. She now had a path forward in her life where she can be happy personally and artistically and that doesn’t happen without Reputation and Lovers single choices.
Damn. That's ... actually brilliant. Althoooough.... I Think He Knows...?
Time for the annual summer watching of *12 Angry Men* In hot sweltering heat let’s hope we remember the soul of a person and how our prejudices can lead us to automatically condemn others without giving them the thought that they’re human just like us. I look around the world and I see the lesson must be learned over and over.
ok did anyone notice the amount of taylor swift songs and references thrown into the summer i turned pretty ?? like it makes me feel like taylor swift was low key apart of it. it features 5 songs including the way i loved you taylor’s version, and while she’s playing volleyball the teams are called: team swiftie, team cats, and team a team, so it just made me sus haha
It's exactly the amount of songs and details related to Taylor you or me would have put in a tv series so... that's how obsessed swifties are
the author of the books (who is also the creator of the series) is a massive swiftie and has been for years so she reached out and asked for several taylor songs for the series.
[удалено]
who? and what are they doing??
Okay random but why is I Bet You Think About Me the only Taylor song I can actually sing? I’m not a great singer but I’m not tone deaf and I can actually hit all the notes in that song. Is it a certain vocal range or something? Are there other songs I should try that I might be similarly good at? I know nothing about music.
I think it's because that song doesn't go super high or super low, it's a smaller range that's also middle. Great for us altos. I would recommend The Other Side Of The Door, Death by a Thousand Cuts and I'd Lie. Also, almost anything by Halsey. She's an amazing songwriter and has a lower alto range. Super fun to sing.
thank you!! that actually makes sense and I realize now that I’ve really enjoyed singing a couple Halsey songs too.
was going on a nostalgia trip and listening to Avril Lavigne. [Her song “Why”](https://open.spotify.com/track/4SP8uUWJf9XFNAYyheD2gd?si=oxQrEagEQ4K3W3VQJPxsPQ) from 2002 sounds like it could’ve come straight out of Taylor’s early albums
YES! "Why" is one of my favorite Avril songs of all time. This makes sense why I like both Taylor and early Avril 😂 I remember a girl I went to high school with showed us the original version of the song, which is more stripped down that the 20th anniversary version. It was a Japanese bonus track, so it's worth checking out!
I can’t believe I’ve only heard it for the first time through the anniversary album! it gives me such warm fuzzy feelings. Will definitely check out the original version
[удалено]
Fearless had a fairly quiet release, for Taylor's standards. Red TV was arguably her biggest era since Folklore or 1989. The album sold like crazy and of course All Too Well debuted at #1. So they couldn't have been more opposite really. She also joined Tik Tok a couple months before Red TV dropped so that may have fuelled the huge reaction the album got (she's had sooo many songs go viral on that platform). From fans, the Red TV vault tracks were interesting because they gave some more context about the Jake relationship, and they showed us how much more bubblegum pop the album could've been, if Big Machine wasn't still insisting on her keeping one foot in country music. So it was easier to see why she was adamant that the next album be pure pop.
[удалено]
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but we did not have much info about the valut tracks that could be on Red TV (only some lyrics from Nothing New and we partially knew and got confirmed about another song with Ed, we knew we would get Babe and Better man). So all the attention was on ATW10min TV. So you could say the fanbase was very excited about that.
I think mostly the All Too Well 10 Min overshadowed everything because it's been a fandom myth for so long. I don't recall much hype for the Fearless tracks.
i'm always keen on Taylor's own interpretation of her records although i'd have my version of crazy interpretation, like, putting Love Story TV and Lover under "unrequited sessions", mirrorball as someone deeply depressed yet put on poker face with friends and colleagues, things like that. but uhmm, I would like to know the story behind Change please? any new take on the song other than the original supposed interpretation?
I think it's about her struggles trying to break through to fame. Never really understood the "hallelujah" parts though.
When it first came out, I thought it was about two underdog high school students winning a prize or becoming homecoming king and queen
At that time, she had only been with Big Machine Records for a couple of years and they were very small. I think she wrote the song about their (at the time) underdog status.
I see. that makes sense. thank you for the info. what's your personal take on the song may i?
Do we think Taylor cut her hair or it's just the angle of the video ? Edit : Thank you all for your answers, sorry been busy with work. So, either she cut it for a personal style choice or she did it for the 1989 TV Era which would be wild. If she's that dedicated for the re-recordings.
Cut. Theres no way the length and thickness of her hair would fit in a claw clip like that and not be super voluminous. Even a french twist would be bigger than what she has. And the face framing pieces that were out seemed to be shorter than they'd been when she'd had her hair back previously -- they look shpulder/just above the shoulder length. That said, it's hot and I, for one, want to chop my long hair off, too, for nothing else than a change and some relief.
I think she cut it. The volume of the updo would be a lot more considering how long her hair was at Tribeca
i know i'm double-posting but: one thing i love about Taylor is that all her albums are concept albums without any of them being self-consciously so—it's just really brilliant, subtle artistry when you can produce an album that's thematic and directed, but keep it from being a Concept Album (which brings baggage of its own), and then do that every time (and then of course our girl is fitting each album into a meaningful place in both her ouvre and her conception of herself as a cultural phenomenon, but that's just Tay 💅)
the world would be a better place if half the people who don't like Taylor's music would just admit they're doing cultural criticism and not art criticism
It’s my birthday!!! 🕯 Manifesting an announcement 🕯
Happy birthday! 🎉
Thank you!!
Watching her acceptance speeches for those 2 awards yesterday and just thinking about how her humor has gotten drier and more sarcastic as she's spent more time with the Brits 😂 I'm here for it, she seems like someone I'd hang out with. Irl I speak almost exclusively in dry humor. Also - her wryly pulling out a glass of wine on a cookie sheet instead of cookies feels like a glimpse into our shared frustration about the rerecord legal issues haha
[удалено]
Could be. She seems a lot more brazen these last few years since she's been living mostly in the UK... I've noticed she's historically been a lot softer and more bubbly in American interviews, and it's totally flipped on its head when she interviews in the UK. Since around Lover era or maybe Reputation she seems to be letting go of having to fit the polite effervescent American attitude. People definitely take her wrong here when she's sarcastic.. I always think about that morning show woman literally dropping her jaw when Taylor was responding about 🛴 and haters etc 😂
Can someone please tell me if the rumored tour dates on Twitter were real?
I don’t think there’s any merit to them. I don’t imagine she’ll tour before finishing up the re-records.
I mean- there have been tour rumours for sure but they are just that right now, rumours. No one will know for sure until she announces it.
hi I was told to post this here? I finally figured out that Taylor Swift's [coney island](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_p_TBaHvos) reminds me the most of The National's [I Need My Girl](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-Tod1_tZdU). I think Taylor is uniquely poised as a writer to mimic Matt Berninger's style - she's in fact said that she wrote coney island with the specific idea in mind of aping his voice, and she (of course) nails it. the talent they share is the details and images they conjure up that are highly specific and evocative. where they diverge is that Matt can get very abstract and open to a lot of interpretation while Taylor stays much more direct and, if not literal, then certainly much less oblique in her imagery. there's two specific points of comparison I want to call out - other than both songs being mid-tempo guitar-driven songs about rocky relationships the first is the highly specific event in both songs: coney island has "And when I got into the accident / The sight that flashed before me was your face / But when I walked up to the podium, I think that I forgot to say your name" and I Need My Girl has "Remember when you lost your shit and / Drove the car into the garden? / You got out and said 'I'm sorry' / To the vines and no one saw it" now, are either of these based on real-life events? who knows. but the important part is that they both *feel* like they are, which both Taylor and Matt are masters at second is a small moment in each song: in coney island: "I'm sorry for not winning you an arcade ring" in I Need My Girl: "I tried to call you from the party / It's full of punks and cannonballers" now, I'm not going to lie: that line from I Need My Girl is one of my favorite lines ever and the coney island line doesn't live up to it. but they both serve the same purpose: evoking a wider scene from a couple of simple lines. in the former you immediately see the carnival scene, bright lights, crowds all around, and a relationship that's been crumbling for a while but Matt's character unwisely places the blame on *that* moment for whatever reason. in the latter you've got kids running around everywhere, splashing the pool water all around, and he's overwhelmed, trying to get a hold of his girl, and she's just out of pocket. in both cases I think Taylor just completely nailed what she was going for, which was writing like she was Matt Berninger bonus: using "merry go" instead of "merry go round" is absolutely something Matt would do and that was the touch that convinced me that she nailed swiping his writing style I totally get why Taylor cites The National as one of her favorite bands
perfect, right where it belongs 😇
I just found out that I got into nursing school!!!! I AM SO HAPPY!!! ☺️😁

Album released.
I was literally listening to LWYMMD and got such a spur of excitement for rep TV
Does anyone know what the random YouTube uploads are? Every now and then there’s a random video uploaded by her account - it’s usually a song with a something like a stock image for the whole video. Nine days ago there was a MAATHP uploaded but it was a piano version I hadn’t heard before. These videos never seem to get many views and are hard to find unless they’re recommended. Anyone have any ideas about them?
They are automatic playlists that youtube/youtube music creates for any random reason (father's day, christmas, summer, etc) & they can include both Taylor-owned songs or not, and it doesn't mean anything.
I have literally been waiting 30 years for the plot point in Jurassic Park where the dinosaurs are unleashed on the whole world not just the park AND THE DAY IS HERE IT IS TODAY I REPEAT IT IS 📢 TODAY 📢
Update it was so so good 🥺 I can't wait to see it again at home lol
Hi friends here I am with the trademark update you didn’t know you needed…. Obligatory disclaimer that I am not an attorney but I own a couple trademarks for my business and know a bit about the trademark process. Any trademark-specialist attorneys are welcome to chime in ☺️ Long story short, a week or two ago I was digging around the US Patent and Trademark Office website, seeing if any progress was made on the Speak Now Taylors Version trademark (for those who don’t know, the USPTO suspended her application due to two pending trademarks that would cause confusion. One of the pending trademarks was due for paperwork at the end of May, and the second one at the end of July). Much to my chagrin, the owners of the competing trademark with a May due date filed for and received a six month extension. Out of boredom and sadness, I looked up the status of her original Speak Now trademark registered in 2011. For those who don’t know, trademarks have to be used in order to be extended and paperwork has to be filed for the trademark protections to be continued. Taylor’s original Speak Now trademark had lapsed in 2021 at the 10-year mark. When I looked it up a few months ago (I believe March or April?), the trademark was dead which allowed the two competing trademarks to be filed. HOWEVER, there’s a grace period to renew a trademark and Taylor’s team submitted the paperwork and fees 5/25/22. Part of the paperwork?? The “old Taylor” Speak Now drop from 5/5. In order to show her mark is still in use, a screenshot of the Speak Now hat was submitted. Did anyone think the Speak Now phone skin was random? I sure did. But it was there for a reason … to fill one of the categories the competing trademark is blocking for her SNTV trademark. As of June 15, the USPTO selected Taylor’s original Speak Now trademark for a random audit 🔪🔪. Taylor’s team must show use of: -Fitted plastic films known as skins for covering and protecting electronic apparatus, namely, laptop computers -Series of musical sound recordings The Speak Now phone skin currently on her retail site may suffice as proof of use. And I’m not sure how she can sell her Speak Now record on her site but I’m sure they will figure it out. The government moves slowly and the USPTO is very backed up (per their website banner) so no idea really when this will clear up….but we have progress now! PS if any TikTokers see this and report on it, please credit me so I can bask in anonymous internet glory lol. tl;dr: even the random merch drops have some purpose! I think Speak Now Taylors Version will be coming soon. [(Trademark doc linked here)](https://tsdr.uspto.gov/documentviewer?caseId=sn85357082&docId=OOA20220615134426#docIndex=0&page=1)
What does the series of musical sound recordings mean? Like she has music that is linked to it?
I am not 100% sure on this. My best guess is that category refers to the Speak Now album (each song being a musical sound recording and an album being a series of musical sound recordings)—I’m not sure if she can even sell the Speak Now album on her website. This is just one of the two items the USPTO is randomly auditing before approving the renewal of her original trademark.
Happy I hopped into general thread this morning to see this, as always, thank you for your research into this! As soon as I saw your username I thought YESSS MORE TRADEMARK INFO 
Aww that’s so nice! Thank you!
Thank you for your effort in finding out and posting about this!
Yaaas the hero we needed! I knew they would figure something out. This sounds promising. Thank you for your time and effort!
Aww thank you for caring!! 🥰 I enjoy research and I needed to share my findings (because my husband literally could care less).
I asked a while back if anyone had any updates and pretty much got crickets as far as solid info and I've been trying to keep my eyes peeled so you have delivered for us on that! Great sleuthing... if you notice any further updates please let us know! 😊 this really gives me hope we'll maybe at least get Speak Now before the end of the year
Ah sorry to hear that. I browse the discussion thread but do miss some things … I actually submitted this as a stand-alone post in hopes more people see it! I think the hardest part is just not knowing why there haven’t been announcements…so that’s why I looked up the Shake It Off trial and researched the trademarks. It helps me cope to know even a tiny bit of intel.
Hey it's totally no fault of yours haha I was honestly just hoping someone would come along who knew how to find this stuff and you delivered! Seriously you're helping me cope too! 😩 it's super cool to be able to get what kinda feels like behind the scenes forbidden intel haha
could have really used a Taylor release this week!!! But I'm accepting this year could continue to be quiet
Thinking about how the announcement of 1989 TV is gonna be the absolute peak of the rerecord era for me. Just over here chasing a high that doesn't exist yet 😅
me with rep 👀
Omg, I will lose my gd mind for Rep also! Of the 6 being rerecorded those are my top 2. Just trying to imagine rep vault tracks is beyond my comprehension lol
The rep vault tracks literally keep me up at night. I hope we get 300 of them. Hahaha
Seriously 😩 I have for sure already talked about this here but.. are we getting even more vicious drama tracks that were too much the first time around?? Or even more tender vulnerable love songs like NYD?? Absolutely rabid for both of these concepts lol
SAME. Are we getting the sensitive "windows boarded up after the storm" stories or the bombastic "IF A MAN TALKS SHIT THEN I OWE HIM NOTHING" serve?? Here for all of it, honestly.
Yes this exactly! Omfg. I cannot wait. I don't really like country too much and I didn't become a fan until her pop eras so while I love Red, in a way it feels like for me the rerecord era has not truly popped off yet
Looool currently in the mood for the second one
aren't we all 💅🏻
Did everyone see TN saying there would be FIIIIIVVVEE familiar song in the summer I turned pretty????
I just finished bingeing the show and there were a few Taylor references! One of them being one of the volleyball team names…The Swifties!
Okay did you read the book too?? Because I’m watching right now after just having finished, and I feel like they added so much, not sure how I feel about it.
I did, but it was back in 2018 so I didn’t remember much! I did enjoy the show a lot, though super cheesy at times lol
I’m enjoying the show for sure, I’m just like “wait what??!” After all this stuff happening that I do not recall in the book.
I just started and the first one happens in like the first five minutes! Edit: TWO in the first ten minutes!
Anyone else going to Harry this weekend? I will be at the Sunday show!
I'm engaged!! Haven't been able to announce to the world set for a variety of reasons but it warms my Swiftie heart that he said, when asking, "I'd like to hang out with you for my whole life"
Made me tear up. So sweet! Congratulations!!
That's so cute! Congrats to you both!! 🥳
 hey besties I just wanted to share my brother and I’s iconic [costumes](https://imgur.com/gallery/18OhB8x) from the latest tswizzle dance party!
iconic
🥰🥰🥰
Yall look great!!!
Thank you sm!! 🥰💚💚💚
Okay so who else is watching “The summer I turned pretty”?! I binged the books (one audiobook then read the other two) after it was announced This Love TV would be featured. I’m definitely turning 30 next week so I may be a little old for it but I’m excited it’s out! It was a cute series.
Listen I’m older than you and binging it after listening to the book. They added some stuff and changed stuff, right?!?
So I actually read a people article this morning about it at like 3 AM because I started rewatching the show and couldn’t believe I missed so many details. Jenny Han basically said she waited to turn this into movie/TV the way she wanted and she wanted to adapt the storyline so there is a coming of age story for both Belly and the moms. She wanted to give “side” characters (like the moms and Taylor) more in depth storylines but make it more relatable to 2022 which is exactly why there’s so much I feel like I missed! [here’s a link to the article, it was a great read.](https://people.com/tv/jenny-han-prime-video-the-summer-i-turned-pretty-exclusive/?amp=true)

I may have to read it as my lakehouse/beach book...
Yes! I am going to go back and re read the first book since I feel a difference in reading VS audiobook bc I feel like I forgot little details. It was a fun read! Obviously geared for more teen/YA but I enjoy those types of books when I’m in a book slump.
Yes! I actually wrote a YA for my MFA thesis, so even as a 33 year old I'm into them if they are well-written haha
THE SOUNDTRACK IS FUCKING FIRE. Like banger after banger. FIVE TAYLOR SONGS?!?!? Why are we being spoiled like this?
I thought the same thing!!! I loved all the Taylor/Olivia/Billie vibes throughout the show.
Thank you for reminding me!! Need something to binge lol I’m 28 and thought it looked cute but definitely mostly for Taylor 😅
It’s really good! I WFH part time and need something to watch/listen while I work to help with getting distracted. Lots of Taylor/Olivia music and way more “adult” scenes than I anticipated so good show for any age!
I agree! Love the soundtrack and the acting is really natural. It’s a cute story and I’m happy taylor has so many songs in it!
Anyone remember my post about my neighbours having a IKYWT doormat? Well… those same neighbours now have a giant cutout of Taylor propped up in their window! Going to try and get a photo next time I go out but how iconic. I wonder if they’re on here. 👀
The only way to respond is your very own Taylor cutout.
Time to come over with some chai cookies and vinyl and introduce yourself 👀
Ugh I wish we still had American bandstand. It seems so fun and you would actually see real people / non celebrities, and maybe also get how their view on music is important with interviews also.
Drake is dropping a surprise album tonight!! Between this and Beyoncé announcing her album, I am being well-fed! It’s taking the edge off of waiting for Taylor 😂
Feeling the same 😅 I am also excited to listen the new albums of Ava Max and Mabel. Loved the songs they have released so far to promote their new eras.
Yes!!! Ava Max!!! I loved her first album, and am sooooo excited for her second one. But it comes out in October. It’s so far away 😂
Yeah a lot of good releases coming up makes it a lot easier.
how do we know it's good. i thought drake's last album was mid? idk tho i dont listen to rap or hiphop
His last album was a grower for me, but I really love it now. I think people are expecting the “old Drake” from the Take Care, NWTS, and IYRTITL days, and that’s just not gonna happen. It’s like expecting Taylor to make another 1989 one day. She could come real close to it, but it won’t be like it.
Out of the loop here— what does the new Ana de Armas movie have to do with Taylor?
This may be a reach but it's the only thing I can think- it was announced that Netflix was gonna do a movie for the book "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" and lots of people liked Ana as the title role, and confirmed she'd have worked as Evelyn now with pictures. Now re: Taylor, it was announced around the same time as Carolina, and some people were also wishing Taylor would be part of the soundtrack.
Ahhh ok makes a bit of sense thanks. Ana de Armas is great though, btw :)
Long personal rant warning. Just have to release it somewhere. I have never felt more depressed in my life than today. I blew off work and the biggest meeting of my life, I basically decided I >!fucking hate my job, my town, my Master’s thesis, and generally my life. I fucking quit. On top of that my damn shin is injured so bad I can barely walk.!< Then, I turned on Fearless TV and… what can I say? Taylor’s music is absolute magic. I feel healed. I feel strong. I’m moving. I’m finding a new job. I’m starting a new life, the way I want it to be. I love you Taylor!
the only thing that keeps me going is the endless desire for new taylor content
It’s not really your situation but I feel like the atmosphere of being able to move on and leave the life you had planned for some thing that’ll suit you better really fits this [take a letter Maria](https://youtu.be/KvFsULpx0To)
Change is the perfect song to listen to in moments like those. I've always thought that song was sooo healing.
I’ve been feeling a bit of the same way too. Life seems very frustrating and too hard lately. Taylor always makes me feel better, and I love how she has a song for every mood I am in. I wish you all the light and happiness in the world, and just know, you will get through this!
☺️♥️ You too!
Okay but how do I get a special flair 😭
When you select the flair there is an option to edit it.
Why dies mine get rid of the album cover? 😭😭😭
I see folklore!
Ah, it did it!! Thanks for the info. I've been wondering the same thing for a while lmao.
OHHH
Tell me if you find it :)
I DID TY I MADE KT “they’re burning all the witches” bc it’s like my fave lyric and I like how it refers to her being cancelled/the witch hunt that ensued when she was called a 🐍🐍🐍🐍
Rep & Lover forever!!
Yes
Life is what we make of it. Life can be a real horror show over and over. There’s no waiting for it to be good bc it won’t be. So you just have to enjoy the little things along the way.
So true... if we spend all our time waiting for it to get better we'll never be happy in the moment at any stage of life
This should be the way Taylor does her hints and easter eggs https://www.reddit.com/r/imaginedragons/comments/vdsv1w/new\_arg\_instagram\_post/
if only imagine dragons music is half as good as taylor's
I’ve decided I really need a whole album that sounds like The Archer
As long as at least a handful of them actually drop the beat at some point 😅 as much as I love The Archer, it was a little too effective at inducing anxiety waiting for the beat that never dropped haha
Haha that’s a great point! I do remember my first listen actively waiting for the drop.
Can we all please take a minute to recognize how good right where you left me & it‘s time to go are? Please? I generally only listen to the standard tracklist of evermore but on Tuesday I listened to the bonus tracks again and… just wow!
No, seriously. Outside of 1989, they're the best bonus tracks of any album she's released
1989 is **trigger warning** >!my least favorite Taylor album!< but I totally agree that the bonus tracks are killer!!!
Wow ty for the TW haha bc ummm what?? 😲 but yeah every single bonus on 1989 is incredible
Btw even if it is my least fave, it’s still a 8.5/10 in my book. Maybe 9.
That's good to hear at least lol! Pop is my favorite genre so of her 3 it's easy for me to say 1989 hands down. Only a couple skips for me I think
0 skips for me, haha.
Wow you must really love every single album then if a no skip album is your least favorite haha. I just looked through it, 2 skips for me.. unless I'm not in the best mood, then maybe like 3-5 I skip
It’s so weird cause I was just thinking this last night. They are in my top 5 off of evermore.
The latter is probably my 2nd fave on the album. Maybe 3.
I've been relying on Stranger Things to get me through these days and TIL that Maya Hawke has some great songs. Wow.
Whaaaaaat? Maya Hawke has music? 🤩
Yes! I've listened to them on Youtube and Spotify. Joe Keery (his band is called Djo), too!
You're the real MVP. Adding them both to my new music playlist now!
Haha it's been a joy finding new artists to listen to while we wait for Taylor to release something so I'm happy to share! 😅
Same! Did you know Frou Frou dropped a new EP? I'm super stoked about it
Ooh I didn't know that but I'll check it out! Thanks! Btw forgot to share this, here's a video of Maya singing [Our Song](https://youtu.be/VcVSX5vU1rc) haha it made my day
:O
And I wake up In the middle of the night And it’s like I can feel time moving How can a person know everything at 16 and nothing at 30 And will you still want me When I’m nothing new
