ugh i want my folklore cd already😢

i keep seeing ppl getting theirs in the mail and i just wanna hold it and see if i’ll get confetti too

[cages-boxes-hunters-foxes]

also her saying “i’ve come too far to watch some namedropping sleaze tell me what are my words worth” is such a statement of growth and makes me think that as defiant and firm she was publicly the masters stuff felt like a real setback on her own personal/emotional/mental journey

[emotionalswiftie]

but like now i gotta pull out a dictionary bc i don’t know half the words taylor used in the lakes

[marvelous-tunes]

Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die. I don't belong and, my beloved, neither do you.

[emotionalswiftie]

ahhh so the lakes is leaked and ITS SO GOOD HOLY MOTHER OF PEARL

i cried like a baby listening to it

What up I’m James I’m 17 and I never fucking learned how to commit

[carouselofswift]

i love invisible string. would love to relate to it one day.

[emotionalswiftie]

i love listening to folklore

like i’ll just straight up listen to it and not sing along sometimes because i just get so captivated by how taylor sings and how these songs sound that i get lost and then i’m just listening to her

i think the fact that there’s so much storytelling going on in this album adds to that because it’s like listening to a interesting story you hear while sitting at a campfire

[emotionalswiftie]

Most of the things I had planned this summer didn’t end up happening, but there is something I hadn’t planned on that DID happen. And that thing is my 8th studio album, folklore. Surprise 🤗Tonight at midnight I’ll be releasing my entire brand new album of songs I’ve poured all of my whims, dreams, fears, and musings into. I wrote and recorded this music in isolation but got to collaborate with some musical heroes of mine; Aaron Dessner (who has co-written or produced 11 of the 16 songs), Bon Iver (who co-wrote and was kind enough to sing on one with me), William Bowery (who co-wrote two with me) and Jack Antonoff (who is basically musical family at this point). Engineered by Laura Sisk and Jon Low, mixed by Serban Ghenea & Jon Low. The album photos were shot by the amazing Beth Garrabrant. Before this year I probably would’ve overthought when to release this music at the ‘perfect’ time, but the times we’re living in keep reminding me that nothing is guaranteed. My gut is telling me that if you make something you love, you should just put it out into the world. That’s the side of uncertainty I can get on board with. Love you guys so much ♥️

seeing taylor unapologetic and passionate and happy like this makes me all 🥰🥺👏🏻☺️💗🥰

i cried so many damn times while watching the documentary.

i love taylor so much already but every time she does something like this or even likes someone’s post on social media, it makes me love her even more bc i remember how frickin amazing she is.
