THE DOUBLE ALBUM DROP?!?!?!?! TAYLOR R U TRYING TO KILL ME!?!??!?!

The way my face dropped at that ahahaha

“I’m having his baby…no I’m not but you should see your faces”

TAYLOR THE SCREAM I SCRUMPT

@sneaky-snake907 you’re right and I need more people to see this one

“Fake it till you make it” “Lie until you aren’t lying anymore”

“From now until the end of time” “He said he’d love me for all time, but that time was quite short”

“I’m so obsessed with him, but he avoids me like the plague” self explanatory

I heard this song and lost my mind! Absolutely going on my Bill playlist

TAYLOR WHY IS THIS FUCKING ALBUM SO STANFORD PINES CODED I AM GOING INSANE AND I’M ONLY ON THE FIFTH SONG

THE PROPHECY

I CAN’T BELIEVE I ACTUALLY PREDICTED THIS

I recreated Taylor Swift’s 5 stages of grief playlists on Spotify 🤍✨

Denial: I Love You, It’s Ruining My Life Songs

Anger: You Don’t Get to Tell Me About Sad Songs

Bargaining: Am I Allowed to Cry? Songs

Depression: Old Habits Die Screaming Songs

Acceptance: I Can Do It With a Broken Heart Songs

I recreated all these playlists on Spotify ✨

I Love You, It’s Ruining My Life Songs

You Don’t Get to Tell Me About Sad Songs

Am I Allowed to Cry? Songs

Old Habits Die Screaming Songs

I Can Do It With a Broken Heart Songs

We have exactly a fortnight to go through the five stages of heartbreak before THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT arrives. 💔 Thankfully, Taylor and Apple Music made these playlists to prepare us.

Press play and let us know what stage you’re in. 🥲

some of my sketches from last year. Ursula and Taylor.

@taylornation

Little did you know

Your home's really only the town you'll get arrested

Another one for the "quick sketch" collection: Taylor and the much-missed original 1989 set. I did it from memory, the details are a little blurry in my mind.

@taylorswift @taylornation

GET IN THE CAR IT'S AUGUST🌾🩶

@taylorswift @taylornation

Passed down like folk songs, our love lasts so long.

Down Bad | Taylor Swift

Every breath feels like rarest air.

So Long, London | Taylor Swift

even if it's handcuffed, I'm leaving here with you

imgonnagetyouback | Taylor Swift

"They don't know how you've haunted me so stunningly

I choose you and me religiously"

THESE LYRICS?!?!?! SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP!!!!!!!!

my favorites pics of 'the eras tour' ♡

at the end of loml she says loss of my life which to me completely recontextualises the whole song cuz before it was out I was like "oh cute love of my life🥰" but you're telling me it also means LOSS OF MY LIFE wtf someone sedate me

It’s bizarre how my feed is all Tortured Poets Department, and people actually being tortured in Palestine.

It’s hard to take Miss Swifts’ misery seriously this time. Your privilege is showing girlie.

oh! & of course:

(i honestly feel like every time taylor calls love 'wild' she is calling back to this, & dickinson in general)

can we talk about 'the albatross' reference to 'candle in the wind'??

"Wise men once said / 'Wild winds are death to the candle'"

like??

my english degree was sooo worth it

fortnight mv | drawing i did years ago in college

there's a black dog in the fortnight mv bc 'old habits die screamin' (while getting electroshock therapy)

bro...hold on...shes also referencing the failed coming out of 2019. and has been ever since folklore. lover came out in august. 'august slipped away like a bottle of wine cuz you were never mine'...going insane. she tells the story of her life through love songs bc she knows thats the only way to get & keep people's attention. 'I'm still trying everything To keep you looking at me'

You said some things that I can't unabsorb

You turned me into an idea of sorts

You needed me, but you needed drugs more

And I couldn't watch it happen

I changed into goddesses, villains and fools

Changed plans and lovers and outfits and rules

All to outrun my desertion of you

And you just watched it

this play was about us. how the public viewed the ME! and 'you need to calm down' songs & music videos. she gave so many signs. she tried to tell us a million little times. she reinvented herself over and over to try and make us see. some of us did, most of her fans and the world at large didn't. now shes burning all her past lives. shes going to come out and destroy everything she built in the name of being her true self.

the more i listen to TTPD the more convinced I become shes not talking about being in love in any of the songs at all & all the references to muses are just red herrings for fans to look past, & shes really just talking about her relationship with the music industry & her fanbase

i've heard rumors that the leak Could be AI...or an Intentional Thing? all the 2 imagery...&& the ERROR 321 thing with 'red herring'...maybe...?

so the page turning thing taylor is doing made me think:

'Cause there were pages turned with the bridges burned/Everything you lose is a step you take'

like. burning bridges. burning the lover house. burning her past.

'Spring breaks loose, but so does fear/He's gonna burn this house to the ground'.

what if 'he' is the heteronormative view she has had to pander to? and by coming out, by turning the page to reveal her truth, her queerness, she is allowing her past to be burned and destroyed in the name of love? BUT. ivy ends with

'My house of stone, your ivy grows/And now I'm covered/In you'

her house is STONE. you Cant burn STONE. her Real self is safe, and covered in the growth of love and new beginnings. she was afraid of coming out bc she was afraid of losing Everything, but realized somewhere along the way thats ok. she has what matters. besides:

'So make the friendship bracelets/Take the moment and taste it/You've got no reason to be afraid'

after all!! i'm not saying comingoutlor but...

i feel like im going insane, ive been looking at this waaaay too long lol

so i was watching the video from today frame by frame & thought i could see some vague letter-like shapes in this shadow area

so i zoomed in & played with settings & i THINK i can see some letters but am Not Totally Sure. it could also be Nothing and just my eyes playing tricks on me at 2-something am

i could see it best zoomed out and holding the phone away from me, but again, could Totally be Nothing
