you know I hope when Taylor Swift (Taylor’s Version) comes out everyone will realize it’s actually a really good album and treat it as the masterpiece it’s always been
I’m just a girl trying to find a place in this world... I search the party of better bodies just to learn that my dreams aren’t rare... I’m invisible and everyone knows who you are... I can change everything about me to fit in... I’m just a girl on a mission but I’m ready to fly
for a moment a band of thieves in ripped up jeans got to rule the world... people love an ingenue... dear reader, the greatest of luxuries is your secrets... ain’t it funny, rumours fly, and I know you heard about me... may these memories break our fall... one day, we will be remembered... I gave my blood, sweat and tears for this... they tell you that you’re lucky but you’re so confused ‘cause you don’t feel pretty, you just feel used... if you don’t recognize yourself, that means you did it right... are you still the same soul I met under the bleachers?... my friends found friends who care... I hosted parties and starved my body like I’d be saved by a perfect kiss... they’ll tell you I’m insane... I am what I am ‘cause you trained me... my so-called friends who’ll write books about me if I ever make it... my friends from home don’t know what to say... you wonder if you’ll make it out alive
they told me all of my cages were mental, so I got wasted like all my potential... no one wanted to play with me as a little kid, so I’ve been scheming like a criminal ever since to make them love me and make it seem effortless... no amount of friends at 25 will fill the empty lunch tables of your past, the teams that picked you last, but darling, you keep trying... I’ve never been a natural, all I do is try, try, try... no one sees when you lose when you’re playing solitaire... say they didn’t do it to hurt me, but what if they did?... when they point to the pictures, please tell them my name, tell them how the crowds went wild... I wake up screaming from dreaming one day I’ll watch as you’re leaving ‘cause you got tired of my scheming... lord, what will become of me once I’ve lost my novelty?... they say I did something bad, then why’s it feel so good?... I know they said the end is near, but I’m still on my tallest tiptoes, spinning in my highest heels, love, shining just for you... will you still want me when I’m nothing new?... I’m still on that trapeze, I’m still trying everything to keep you looking at me... putting narcotics into all of my songs and that’s why you’re still singing along... all the young things line up to take your place... she’ll know the way and then she’ll say she got the map from me, I’ll say I’m happy for her then I’ll cry myself to sleep... my bare hands paved their paths... are we only biding time until I lose your attention and someone else lights up the room?
I don’t belong, and my beloved neither do you... you caged me and then you called me crazy... I’m a monster on the hill... I was tame, I was gentle, ‘til the circus life made me mean... they used to cheer when they saw my face, now I fear I have fallen from grace... they’re burning all the witches even if you aren’t one, they got their pitchforks and proof, their receipts and reasons... don’t you worry, folks, we took out all her teeth... they’re screaming at the palace front gate, used to chant my name, now they’re screaming that they hate me... is it a wonder I broke, let’s hear one more joke, then we can all just laugh until I cry
never take advice from someone who’s falling apart... you don’t want to know me, I will just let you down... I had the shiniest wheels, now they’re rusting... you wouldn’t take my word for it if you knew who was talking... I didn’t choose this town, I dream of getting out... it must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero... you should find another guiding light, but I shine so bright... you’re on your own, kid… yeah, you can face this

When I was writing the Fortnight music video, I wanted to show you the worlds I saw in my head that served as the backdrop for making this music. Pretty much everything in it is a metaphor or a reference to one corner of the album or another. For me, this video turned out to be the perfect visual representation of this record and the stories I tell in it. Post Malone blew me away on set as our tortured tragic hero and I’m so grateful to him for everything he put into this collaboration. I’m still laughing from getting to work with the coolest guys on earth, Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles (tortured poets, meet your colleagues from down the hall, the dead poets). I still can’t believe I get to work with the unfathomably brilliant Rodrigo Prieto on cinematography and my team of dream collaborators: Ethan Tobman (production design), Chancler Haynes (editor), Anthony Dimino (1st AD), Jil Hardin (producer) and Dom Thomas (executive producer). Parliament aced the VFX as always. Joseph Cassell, Lorrie Turk and Jemma Muradian made these tortured looks come to life. The entire crew made this a dream to shoot. Thank you to everyone involved and everyone who has watched it!!

ALL three and a half hours of Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour (My Version), including “cardigan” and FOUR new acoustic songs, are now YOURS to stream anytime you want on Disney+!
Surprise!! 1989 (Taylor’s Version) is on its way to you 🔜! The 1989 album changed my life in countless ways, and it fills me with such excitement to announce that my version of it will be out October 27th. To be perfectly honest, this is my most FAVORITE re-record I’ve ever done because the 5 From The Vault tracks are so insane. I can’t believe they were ever left behind. But not for long! Pre order 1989 (Taylor’s Version) on my site 😎
It’s here. It’s yours, it’s mine, it’s ours. It’s an album I wrote alone about the whims, fantasies, heartaches, dramas and tragedies I lived out as a young woman between 18 and 20. I remember making tracklist after tracklist, obsessing over the right way to tell the story. I had to be ruthless with my choices, and I left behind some songs I am still unfailingly proud of now. Therefore, you have 6 From The Vault tracks! I recorded this album when I was 32 (and still growing up, now) and the memories it brought back filled me with nostalgia and appreciation. For life, for you, for the fact that I get to reclaim my work. Thank you a million times, for the memories that break our fall. 💥🐉🏰 Speak Now (MY VERSION!) is out now.
Um. SO much to tell you. I’m a massive fan of this brilliant artist and after getting to know her I can confirm: she is THE ONE to watch. So delighted to say that Karma Featuring the incredible Ice Spice will be out TOMORROW night at MIDNIGHT ET as a part of the new Midnights (Til Dawn Edition) deluxe album that you can pre-order now at taylor.lnk.to/thetildawnedition!
In addition to Karma Ft Ice Spice… You asked for it, we listened: Lana and I went back into the studio specifically to record more Lana on Snow on the Beach. Love u Lana 🥰😆☺️
But wait there’s more… for those of you going to the East Rutherford shows - we will have a new special edition CD available ONLY on site starting at 12:30pm ET on Friday! This CD will have a never before heard Midnights vault track called “You’re Losing Me”!
