TAYLOR SWIFT in London (12 August 2026)

#literally came across a picture of me from like 15 with this exact haircut today ..... tempted to do it again tbh #taylor swift

laufeysons

taylor went to tiktok and made them change their policy so that any artist can request a removal of their songs from a specific account

#it's less effort to be performative & make a statement about something like this & that reactivity gets you through the news cycle #but it really does feel like she knows when she can leverage her actual power/position (not just her platform as a celeb)#in the end making some post about how she doesn't approve of the way her art is being used is mostly self interested #and treats the issue like primarily a pr problem! and instead taylor lets this shit go until she can actually make institutional changes #not just for her but for artists in general #it just makes me feel like she knows this cultural environment (when it comes to discourse/paranoia/cynicism) isn't going to reward anyone!!#the ppl who play along the most are probably going to be worse off in the long run tbh

first listen thoughts

end of kiss me verse 2 !!!!!!!!!

"we could try to make it all the way out"

sense of space !!!!!! there's a depth to the production and a specific kind of like reverb/echo throughout the album that makes it feel very big, like it's happening in a huge empty hall

"if this is my curse i'll let it ride" / "petal in the pavement"

stay just makes me sad. production is v cool.

oh well has a pace to it. but also feels kinda cyclical, the way it wobbles in and out.... also makes me sad.

power fantasies EVERYWHERE

"i wish someone could hear me"

"extra extra buy one take me"

there is a father figure by taylor swift everywhere for those with eyes to see

"all of this time i've been wasting" i think i've seen this film before .

great closing track

#petal ariana grande #ariana grande

my favorite ariana album and it is NOT close

#like i was very very into thank u next when it dropped & eternal sunshine was spectacular #but genuinely don't think there's a song on petal i don't like #ariana grande #petal #petal ariana grande #petal album

Not to be snobby/elitist but influencers need to remain in their own separate lane and I’ve never been more serious about that… you are not a real music critic because you review albums on your popular YouTube channel, in the same way I’m not looking at the top Goodreads reviews or going on booktok for genuine literary criticism. I saw some quote recently from an influencer who was interviewing celebrities on a red carpet and she said something along the lines of “fans want to see people like us talking to their favs as if we were their friends!” and it’s like…okay? But I actually want interviews with actual trained reporters, too. Which is not to say there’s no value in some of what influencers are doing…The woman who asks celebs silly, low stakes questions over takeout chicken is a cute addition to any press cycle. But she’s not a reporter, and what she’s doing is not actual journalism. Influencers with huge platforms should feel proud of themselves for building something that clearly resonates with people, but for any of them to claim to be “top of the field,” above people with like, actual education and qualifications and years of experience at their job, is just ludicrous. You are the natural successor to the Buzzfeed listicle. You are not “the only relevant music critic today.” Be so fucking serious.

#yeah i'm seething abt this #was seething when he first made his video on tgi still seething now #just the cruelest & most condescending reading of the work possible. like truly cartoon evil levels of willful misunderstanding

happy birthday to midnights the album that came out just as i was crash landing in a pit of depression i'm still clawing my way out of! sometimes listening to dear reader still makes me feel like i'm going to throw up!

#i cannot describe the experience of listening to the 3 am tracks on thirty minutes of sleep on the bus the next morning #i was trying so hard to not completely lose my shit as i heard 'give me back my girlhood it was mine first' for the first time #midnights #my beloved weirdo album ❤️

today is my first day at the job tayvoodoo got me 😌

#interviewed on release day!#i consider it my blessing for appreciating the album immediately

I DON'T EVEN GET THE FLU ANYMORE!!! WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!!!!

the way the eldest daughter bridge is basically an answer to “are there still beautiful things?”

THE ANSWER IS YES!!!!!!!!

#best believe i've been thinking about this

all of showgirl is actually just about taylor choosing to be an active participant in her own life

cages-boxes-hunters-foxes

now that it’s been 10 days of showgirl, reblog and tag with the lyric you think is the thesis of the album

#a bad sign is all good #or my advice is always answer the question #nothing is fated nothing is inevitable nothing is cursed #you make your own sunshine your own luck your own career and power and family #tloas #the life of a showgirl

MY ADVICE IS ALWAYS ANSWER THE QUESTION

something something taylor talking about being so disciplined & careful as a teenager, the cautious discretion lyric in eldest daughter, the contrast between wildness as a theme on rep - ttpd & the way she talked about loosening up re: the infamous convertible moment

ah-matized

legitimately having a mental breakdown. you don't understand. one of my all time worst memories/turning points in my life was someone telling me to be patient when i was sixteen and now i just want to scream at that version of myself 'no other life is waiting for you. you're already running out of time. your entire world is going to end in two years and you'll regret making yourself an island forever.' what the fuck taylor what the fuck !!
