folklore, but gay

Swifties waiting to see whether "Slut!" is heart wrenching or just plain sassy

[1989taylorsversion]

Swifties learning that "Slut!" is actually a secret third thing: a sad love song

[1989taylorsversion]

Watching Taylor be so unabashedly happy and so endlessly proud of her own life and work makes me SO FUCKING HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!

[1989taylorsversion]

There is folklore-level, "not about Taylor but secretly about Taylor," metaphorical, beautiful storytelling on the following TLOAS songs, by the way:

The Fate of Ophelia

Elizabeth Taylor

Father Figure

Ruin the Friendship

The Life of a Showgirl

[1989taylorsversion]

The TFOO music video is absolutely glorious and glamorous, I could hear Taylor talk about her music for 13 more hours, the vinyl variants for Showgirl are the most beautiful variants I've ever seen for any album or artist, and every Showgirl song grows on me with each listen... I love love love being a Swiftie

TELL US YOUR FAV SONG KING

VERENA!!! I couldn't possibly pick yet, but TFOO, Opalite, and Father Figure are definitely standing out to me right now as the songs I am most excited to hear again.

Hi everyone I am here to say that I love Showgirl and this is my first album release being offline and just enjoying it myself and texting about it with friends and family and it has been such a LOVELY experience. I came online to check in and I just wanted to share that the negativity y'all are seeing and focusing on is truly soooo limited to these spaces and I highly highly highly recommend staying offline and enjoying things in your own way. It makes life so much richer. Anyway I love the album, love Taylor, love the Swifties... xoxo

i actually think taylor has some real vision in finding ways to get people to enjoy music releases in ways that get them out of their houses and off their little iphone screens in the year 2025 (and yes of course live performances also do this, but they only occur in one place). curious to see how she and others iterate on this idea in the future.

She could never give him peace.... but he doesn't need it. MY HEART PLEASE.....................................

while we’re changing prophecies i have a few requests

[1989taylorsversion]

My father is an 8th grade teacher and he paused his class today to announce the engagement when I texted him and apparently the room just absolutely broke down into shambles

[1989taylorsversion]

TAYLOR BEING ENGAGED IS THE BEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO ME PERSONALLY

[cruellesummer]

And, baby, that’s show business for you 

[taylorswift]

You belong with me. 💚💛💜❤️🩵🖤

Letter on my site :)

I am not saying this for brownie points as a fan because there is no right or wrong way to approach this, but I have quite literally not listened to Reputation at all since Taylor announced the re-recordings project, because I wanted to respect her and listen to only the versions she owned, and we always thought it might be coming soon.

When I tell you that listening to this album again after years away from it is like coming home in the best possible way... I love love love being a Swiftie.

[1989taylorsversion]

As much as the rerecordings would be an exciting event for fans, I would a million times over rather have Taylor buy her masters and be able to own all of her original music and put all of this behind her. BE QUIET I'M PRAYING....

[1989taylorsversion]

Wait does god exist because... THEY LISTENED TO ME FIVE YEARS AGO????????
