20 Something Swift

Colleen Mattingly, Been living the Swiftie dream since I was 14 (aka 2006), now going through the struggles of being a 20 Something Swiftie.

Taylor are you well rested

[taylorswift]

NOPE

[20somethingswift]

IT ME! @taylorswift

[20somethingswift]

Ladies and gentleman will you please stand if you’ve been personally victimized by a lyric in Lover?

Mine: “And I'm highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you”

#ifeelattacked #Lover

[20somethingswift]

Alright, here we go y’all. My #TS7 theory coming in HOT! @taylorswift @taylornation

With reputation the old Taylor was “dead,” social media was wiped clean, etc. Now, for the 13th year of her career, this album will serve as a look back at memories throughout this time.

The Easter egg or clue that runs throughout the “entire thing” is that there are several references to old lyrics, old music videos, old outfits, etc. The whole #MEMusicVideo is a look back at moments in her career - for the fans that get the references. 😉💗

Debut Album References:

-The painting in the apartment with similar florals to the debut cover

-Wearing cowboy boots

- Phone from Our Song ☎️

Fearless Album References:

- “I never think before I jump” - Jump Then Fall

- Dancing in a storm - Fearless

Speak Now Album References:

- “When we had that fight out in the rain. You ran after me and called my name”- Mine

- Mine video proposal scene match up

- The Story of Us not having the countdown on Spotify

- Story of Us = 4:26

- Story of Us = 7th track

- TIME photo similarities to Enchanted promo

Red Album References:

- “Trouble's gonna follow where I go” - IKYWT

- Treacherous Style Dress in hallway

- Begin Again music video roof scene match up

- Red Tour dancer Amanda Cleghorn brought back along with Christian Henderson who has also done 1989 and rep.

- Pink hair from IKYWT video 💗

1989 Album References:

- Shake it Off music video cheerleading scene match up

- Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats - WTNY

- 1989 and rep tour dancer Giuseppe Giofrè and Maho Udo brought back

reputation Album References:

- Lobby from LWYMMD video

- Old Taylor shadows in lobby

- “Think about the place where you first met ME” tweet (+ a reminder to think about how we first met Taylor)

- Delicate video scene match up

- rep tour dancers Nadine & Jake

- London location, like End Game vid

Any throwback Easter eggs/clues I missed?

She does say that “one of these things is not like the others... maybe this album is not like the others because it’s about the memories over 13 years?

Please let this be right, @taylorswift This has truly broken my brain and I am DESPERATE 😫✨💗

[comebackbehere]

no one:

literally no one:

not a single soul:

my brain: me-e-e ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[20somethingswift]

Me all day at work in my big fancy office.

[whit-tay13]

I LOVE that she knew this would get stuck in our heads and she wanted it to be a positive message that we repeat over and over to ourselves 💕

[whit-tay13]

I LOVE YOU TAYLOR 💛

[clearblue--water]

Taylor has always been a fairytale princess and that has been portrayed in all of her eras except reputation. her life has shown that she’s a happy and sparky person but that can turn to darkness in this cruel world. she showed her brokenness and revenge in reputation and snapped back. and she came back more glittery and sparkly and happier and fairytale like than ever before and I couldn’t have hoped for or dreamt for a better post reputation era vibe than what we currently have. I am so here for this

[taylorswift]

🥰💗💕❤️💋😇💓❣️1️⃣3️⃣❤️💗🌸

[aaronexplainsitall]

You seem like the right person to ask but what the fuck is going on in the Taylor Swift fandom? Are they OK?

Okay friend, I’m going to give you the run down. Are you sitting comfortably? 

2PM GMT - SOME TAYLOR SWIFT FANS DECIDE - FOR SEEMING ABSOLUTELY NO INTELLIGIBLE REASON - THAT THERE IS A MURAL IN NASHVILLE THAT RELATES TO TAYLOR’S NEW ALBUM

THERE ARE NO FACTS TO BACK THIS UP

TAYLOR HAS NOT SPOKEN OF THIS MURAL

HER TEAM HAVE NOT SPOKEN OF THIS MURAL

THE ONLY VAGUE LINK IS THAT IT RELATES TO HER INSTAGRAM AESTHETIC

THEY’RE GATHERING IN THEIR HUNDREDS BY THIS MURAL CONVINCED THAT SHE’S GOING TO SHOW UP

WHY?

ABSOLUTELY NO FUCKING REASON

FLASH FORWARD (and we’re taking on the world together, and there’s a drawer of my things at your place) TO 5PM GMT 

AND THE ENTIRE TAYLOR SWIFT FANDOM ON TUMBLR IS BRACING FOR THEIR MOM TO CALL THEM BOO BOO THE FOOL LIKE SHE DID WHEN THEY ASSERTED CONFIDENTLY THAT BECAUSE THERE WERE FIVE HOLES IN A FENCE ON ONE OF HER INSTAGRAM PICTURES THAT A COUNTDOWN WAS HAPPENING

THEY’RE ASSUMING CRASH POSITIONS

THIS IS GOING TO BE AN OUTING OF STUPIDITY TO THE ENTIRE WORLD

NEWS CREWS ARE GATHERING —- AGAIN FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN THE FANS THINK SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THIS THESIS

EVERYONE ON TUMBLR IS DISTRESSED

DISMAYED

“THE WORLD WILL KNOW THAT WE’RE INSANE!!” THEY CRY, THEIR SELF-AWARENESS THEIR LAST REDEEMING FEATURE

AND THEN

WHEN ALL HOPE IS LOST

TAYLOR ‘I’M POTENTIALLY THE ONLY PERSON MORE BATSHIT CRAZY THAN MY FANS’ SWIFT GETS HER CLOWN ASS ON INSTAGRAM

AND CONFIRMS THAT IT IS HER FUCKING MURAL AND THAT SHE IS ON THE WAY THERE

“YOU FIGURED OUT (my secrets and I figure out why you’re guarded, you say we’ll never make my parents’ mistakes) THE CLUE!” SHE SHRIEKS

THERE WERE NO CLUES

NOT ONE

THEY TURNED UP IN DROVES BECAUSE THEY ALL DESPERATELY NEED TO GET A JOB

AND THEN - 6PM GMT - THIS ANGEL/DEVIL WOMAN TURNS UP AT THE MURAL AND TAKES WHAT SEEMS LIKE A SELFIE WITH LITERALLY ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE WHO’S THERE - WHICH BY THE WAY, IS ABOUT 500 PEOPLE AT THIS POINT

AND SAYS! NOTHING ABOUT THE ALBUM! NOTHING ABOUT THE SINGLE! NOTHING ABOUT ANYTHING!

SHE JUST SHOWS UP AND SAYS HEY (it was enchanting to meet you) 

OUTSTANDING

LITERALLY OUTSTANDING 

WHO KNEW SUCH CLOWNERY AND TOMFOOLERY WAS POSSIBLE?

NOT I, GENTLE READER! NOT THE FUCK I!

I’m literally in love with Taylor Swift, I have never wanted to be a celebrity’s friend more than in this moment. She’s so messy and I live for literally every second of it, we are SOUL MATES. 

[taylorswift]

That’s it, that’s the tweet

[20somethingswift]

I #JustVoted absentee-in-person because I’ll be volunteering on Election Day to Get Out the Vote! This is my first time voting in a Midterm election and my first time voting absentee!

Because I believe in dressing for the occasion, today I wore a white shirt and pants as a symbol of the suffragettes and women’s equality.

New York's anti-vagrancy laws were used to prosecute women for dressing outside of gender norms. Aka wearing pants. And of course, before 1917, women in New York didn’t have the right to vote.

And this, friends, is why we vote today. These old injustices seem wild to us now but there are injustices still happening today.

Allowing people to buy healthcare plans that don’t cover the costs. People working 2-3 jobs because minimum wage doesn’t pay the rent. Women of color being paid less than their counterparts. The wealthiest people in the country paying fewer taxes than their assistants. Polluting the earth when more economic options are available. People going to prison for drugs that are legal in many states. Giving people with a history of domestic violence access to weapons. Native Americans being limited from voting. Failing to support refugees fleeing violence. Women being told what to do with their bodies. And of course, codifying discrimination against LGBTQ people.

But the walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down and these things will change. These may seem “normal” now, but we can vote people into office with values to fix these injustices and create a moral society that works for all people, no matter the color of their skin, how much money they have in the bank, the god they pray to, or the person they love. ❤️💙🇺🇸🗳 #Vote #NYCVotes @taylorswift

I’m writing this post about the upcoming midterm elections on November 6th, in which I’ll be voting in the state of Tennessee. In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now.  I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country. I believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG. I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent.

I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love.  Running for Senate in the state of Tennessee is a woman named Marsha Blackburn. As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me. She voted against equal pay for women. She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape. She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they should not have the right to marry. These are not MY Tennessee values. I will be voting for Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House of Representatives.  Please, please educate yourself on the candidates running in your state and vote based on who most closely represents your values. For a lot of us, we may never find a candidate or party with whom we agree 100% on every issue, but we have to vote anyway.

So many intelligent, thoughtful, self-possessed people have turned 18 in the past two years and now have the right and privilege to make their vote count. But first you need to register, which is quick and easy to do. October 9th is the LAST DAY to register to vote in the state of TN. Go to vote.org and you can find all the info. Happy Voting! 🗳😃🌈

Being a strong person is not watching any video’s before your tourdate.

(I want to do this because I also did it with 1989 BUT it’s extremly hard 😭)

[20somethingswift]

I️ see how this is gonna go... (at The Taylor Swift Experience)

[20somethingswift]

Thanks for keeping up the fight @kirstengillibrand. It's an honor to have you working for us! http://ift.tt/2ukDx7o

[20somethingswift]

Another Presidential Library down! The tireless work of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt to build a middle class and support the most vulnerable people was fearless and truly inspiring. We all have a future because of the work this team put into practice. May this country continue to see this vision of opportunity, protection, and equality for all people. 🇺🇸❤️💙 http://ift.tt/2t00icU

[20somethingswift]

Fantastic. A show commemorating all that was lost and celebrating all that was found on that fateful day. A terrific reminder that we are only as good as our humanity. I can't recommend this hopeful and inspiring show enough. Bravo @wecomefromaway, bravo. 👏🌎❤️👏 #ComeFromAway #SpreadLove http://ift.tt/2tzZo8G
