Taylor is about to perform live at the All Too Well The Short Film premiere

[amandyline13]

“We didn’t have a dress rehearsal” she is so effortlessly funny lol

[10ireland13]

Taylor just so you know 😊❤️

[mindllessdreaming]

the way to the casual listener the songs sound nearly exactly the same but to us we can tell just the tiny differences in her inflection and her vocal strength and get to relearn these songs like we learned the old ones

[hashbrownswift]

Caitlin is credited on seven tracks for backing vocals - fearless, fifteen, love story, hey Stephen, you belong with me, tell me why, and change

“The song 'Breathe' is a song about having to let go of someone in your life who you care about, and you don't want to hurt, but you've outgrown the friendship or the relationship. And I wrote the idea for it, and Colbie Caillat was in town who's just one of my favorite artists, I absolutely love her music and I love her voice. And she was in town playing a show and I brought her this idea and she really liked it, and we wrote it together. We sat there and wrote the song right before her show. I mean, it was the afternoon, she was about to play that night. And she sang backup vocals on it that are just so haunting. And I'm so lucky because she agreed to do the same backup vocals on my version of 'Breathe.' So, it absolutely would not have been the same without her. I'm really, really grateful that she decided to return to the project."

as a general rule. if what we’re calling ‘cultural appropriation’ sounds like nazi ideology (i.e. ‘white people should only do white people things and black people should only do black people things’) with progressive language, we are performing a very very poor application of what ‘cultural appropriation’ means. this is troublingly popular in the blogosphere right now and i think we all need to be more critical of what it is we may be saying or implying, even unintentionally.

[pyrrhiccomedy]

There is nothing wrong with everyone enjoying each other’s cultures so long as those cultures have been shared. 

Eating Chinese food, watching Bollywood movies, going to see Cambodian dancers, or learning to speak Korean so you can watch every K drama in existence is totally fine. The invitation to participate in those things came from within those cultures. The Mexican family that owns the place where I get fajitas wants me to eat fajitas. Their whole business model kind of depends on it, actually. 

If you see something from another culture you think you might want to participate in, but you don’t know if that would be disrespectful or appropriative, you can just…ask. Like. A Jewish friend explained what a mezuzah was to me, recently. (It’s the little scroll-thing near their front doors that they touch when they come into their house. It basically means “this is a Jewish household.”)

“Oh, cool,” I said. “Can I touch it? Or is it only for Jewish people?”

“You can touch it or you can not touch it,” she said. “I don’t care.”

“Cool, I’m gonna touch it, then.”

“Cool.”

It’s not hard.

You want to twerk, twerk. I’ve never heard a black person say they didn’t think anybody else should be allowed to twerk. Just that they want us to acknowledge that they invented that shit, not Miley fucking Cyrus.

[queeranarchism]

It really boils down to three simple things:

Consent. Is the culture open to sharing this thing? (& don’t cheat by finding one person who consents while most of the culture disagrees.)

Context. If a culture is open to sharing a thing but it is a thing of great religious significance, take the time to learn what is a respectful way to treat the thing. Probably don’t use it as random decoration or sexualize it unless that’s what it’s for. 

Credit. Give credit and if possible, buy from the original creators so the money goes where the credit should be.

in honor of the triple aoty put your favorite song from fearless, 1989, and folklore in the tags

[secret--psalms--saturn]

Jesus was loving and he did indeed reached out to sinners and the marginalized and those who were deemed less to society. But remember He ALWAYS shared the gospel to everyone. He told them to repent. He told them to turn away from their sins.

Love doesnt mean an approval of sin.
