there's literally nothing more radical in 2026 than believing that humanity can become good news for each other and the only world we'll ever share.

The tracks from ‘Lover’ as vintage postcards part 1

is ed sheeran gonna bother to be a good man and speak up for taylor or do we really have to reconcile with the fact that he's collaborating with justin and not taking a stance on something major affecting the woman he owes his american success to or

You can't spell disappointment without men

[longlivetv]

This post is to celebrate Andrea and Scott Swift. The fact they took an active role in Taylor’s life and careers and sheltered her from some of the worst the industry had to offer probably saved her from becoming another fucked up former teen star. It can’t have been easy for them to watch the world try to tear down their little girl time and again but I hope they’re proud of the grown woman she’s become, because I know I am.

CHER’S TWEET IM FUCKING LOSING MY MINDDDDDD ARE YOU KIDDING ME

[longlivethegirlinthedress]

hey just in case anyone needs to hear this: don’t you let these men cast even the slightest shadow over Taylor’s past albums. Those are OURS no matter what papers they sign. “These songs were once about my life. Now they are about yours.” Taylor wrote these songs to process what’s happening in her life, to process pain, trials, joy and dreams and she sang them to us. And we sang them back to her and made them part of our lives. We’re the ones that made a song as painful as All Too Well into a song she can now smile through when she sings it because it’s turned into a beautiful collage of our passionate faces screaming the words. We’re the ones who laugh when Delicate plays and we still whisper “1, 2, 3 let’s go bitch” alone in our bedroom. We’re the ones who know that TOSOTD bridge, who fight for Mary’s Song, who still say Holy Ground should have been a single, who scream about clever lyrics she wrote when she was 15, who cry to deep cuts, who never forget she wrote Speak Now completely on her own. Taylor wrote and sang these even when she was constantly hearing criticism and sexist remarks. We know the stories and we know the power in each song. They’re the soundtrack of our lives and we’ve overcome so much with her music. They’re our stories, Taylor’s and ours. It’s Taylor’s talent, dedication and heart that went into it and us who connected to it. No sale, no assholes and no paper can change that, they can’t take that away from us. like not to be cheesy but they might disgustingly own it on paper but we’ve fiercely owned it in our hearts for over a decade, damn it.

Taylor Swift: an intellectual

[ohheeeyitsbri]

“It’s also incredibly exciting to know that I’ll own all of my master recordings that I make for now on.”

SHE REALLY JUST DID THAT HUH?

[nurseaddison]

Remember that the Lover era OFFICIALLY STARTED ON THIS DAY

[albuquirky-swiftie]

OMFG

[drunkonnjealousy]

im gonna need taylor to stop being so fucking smart im scared

[tayloralison]

it’s like he’s changing minor details in taylor’s work just to mock her..the r in reputation. the period in ikywt. changing the genre for fearless..it’s like he’s rubbing it in her face that he can play with her work and it’s sickening 

[cages-boxes-hunters-foxes]

it’s a beautiful evening to revisit Scott’s donations to marsha blackburn isn’t it

Justin deleted Cara’s comment..... silencing women isn’t a good personality trait

[taylorswift]

For years I asked, pleaded for a chance to own my work. Instead I was given an opportunity to sign back up to Big Machine Records and ‘earn’ one album back at a time, one for every new one I turned in. I walked away because I knew once I signed that contract, Scott Borchetta would sell the label, thereby selling me and my future. I had to make the excruciating choice to leave behind my past. Music I wrote on my bedroom floor and videos I dreamed up and paid for from the money I earned playing in bars, then clubs, then arenas, then stadiums. 

Some fun facts about today’s news: I learned about Scooter Braun’s purchase of my masters as it was announced to the world. All I could think about was the incessant, manipulative bullying I’ve received at his hands for years. 

Like when Kim Kardashian orchestrated an illegally recorded snippet of a phone call to be leaked and then Scooter got his two clients together to bully me online about it. (See photo) Or when his client, Kanye West, organized a revenge porn music video which strips my body naked. Now Scooter has stripped me of my life’s work, that I wasn’t given an opportunity to buy. Essentially, my musical legacy is about to lie in the hands of someone who tried to dismantle it.

This is my worst case scenario. This is what happens when you sign a deal at fifteen to someone for whom the term ‘loyalty’ is clearly just a contractual concept. And when that man says ‘Music has value’, he means its value is beholden to men who had no part in creating it. 

When I left my masters in Scott’s hands, I made peace with the fact that eventually he would sell them. Never in my worst nightmares did I imagine the buyer would be Scooter. Any time Scott Borchetta has heard the words ‘Scooter Braun’ escape my lips, it was when I was either crying or trying not to. He knew what he was doing; they both did. Controlling a woman who didn’t want to be associated with them. In perpetuity. That means forever. 

Thankfully, I am now signed to a label that believes I should own anything I create. Thankfully, I left my past in Scott’s hands and not my future. And hopefully, young artists or kids with musical dreams will read this and learn about how to better protect themselves in a negotiation. You deserve to own the art you make.

I will always be proud of my past work. But for a healthier option, Lover will be out August 23. 

Sad and grossed out,

💔

Let me tell you a fucking thing about costume design. That’s some in depth, difficult shit to learn. And the fact that this goddess can ramble this shit off the cuff means she knows her shit. ELLE WOODS IS A GODAMNED GENIUS AND IT’s NOT A STRETCH TO BELIEVE SHE GOT INTO HARVARD LAW MMMK?

[katecod]

FUCK YEAH ELLE WOODS OR DIE

[alimarko]

this movie is literally about an attractive woman who loves to party having to prove over and over again that she’s also intelligent and hard-working to those who judge her based on her looks (who also empowers and fights for other women, and fosters unlikely friendships instead of engaging in girl hate) and if you don’t think that’s some great feminist shit then I don’t know what your problem is

[lilyskinned]

Let’s not forget that in the end when the guy wants her again, she turns him down because she knows she deserves better.
