@taylorswift really spoiled us with these suprise album drops because now I don’t know how to handle a normal album release schedule and timeline :|

[taylorswift]

I’m thrilled to tell you that my new version of Fearless (Taylor’s Version) is done and will be with you soon. It has 26 songs including 6 never before released songs from the vault. Love Story (Taylor’s Version) will be out tonight. Pre-order now at https://taylor.lnk.to/fearlesstaylorsversion 💛💛

Love Story tonight, Fearless (Taylor’s version) - APRIL NINTH!

[kswiftie23]

I’m literally so freaking excited about this album I can’t think about anything else. @taylorswift

Does anyone know if it’s streaming tonight? Kinda want to wait to buy it until I can get the deluxe version.

I’m into the theories, but I do think that this album is so much more than that and so special. It’s about some of her personal moments (her experience with fate, thieves, and angst) but also her whimsical thoughts spun into bittersweet narratives. I am so in love with this album. I’ve never clicked with an album so quickly in fact, usually it’s that I like one facet in particular. I’ll say that I really like this song lyrically, but production wise it’s a bit overdone, or something, but this is the one Taylor Swift album I’ve listened to that was so sonically and lyrically in tune that I was able to listen with zero skips the first time.

Taylor’s always been so evocatively expressive: that’s one of the main things mentioned in the précis of what is so tangibly, fascinatingly, & magically Taylor Swift, but she was born to write this album. There’s something so fateful in the album in and of itself. It has dropped at exactly the right time. Been received by a willing audience. It’s rare for art to do that.

This is the finest most artistic album she’s crafted thus far, and when you take into account that she began in late April, so it’s not even been a full 90 days, it’s remarkable. It’s subjective, and there no set preconceived notions or ideas being shoved at you in the lyrics. It’s art. It’s art. It’s folklore.

if folklore had a scent it would be freshly washed linens and grass after rain

[paladinbaby]

i cant wait for every male music journalist to fundamentally misunderstand folklore and taylor swift as a whole

[saidgoodbyeinagetawaycar]

I can’t imagine Taylor combining Lover fest with a Folklore concert... one moment our tears will be ricocheting and the next ME HEE HEE

[dirtylittlebookworm]

I waited 8 albums to hear Taylor Swift say “fuck” and it was absolutely worth it.

[taylornation]

Aaaaaaaa! So freaking excited

[taylorswift]

I’m so sad I won’t be able to see you guys in concert this year, but I know this is the right decision. Please, please stay healthy and safe. I’ll see you on stage as soon as I can but right now what’s important is committing to this quarantine, for the sake of all of us.

[kswiftie23]

I’m sad, but I know this was the right decision for everyone 😢

WHO WAS TELLING THE TRUTH THE ENTIRE TIME???

[kswiftie23]

I appreciate much of what Trump has done to slow the spread of Coronavirus (not a Trump supporter), but the more speeches he gives about it, the more I wonder if it’s possible for him to get through a speech without patting himself on the back at least 15 times.

[taylorswift]

The Man Behind The Scenes - Becoming The Man is out now! Only took 5 hours in the makeup chair + a little sprinkle of privilege dust ✨✨✨➡️👨🏻

[kswiftie23]

Cannot even begin to explain how strange it is to hear Taylor’s voice come out of that face and body.

[taylorswift]

Oh man…music video tomorrow at 7 A.M. EST! And I’m going to be chatting/answering your questions/mansplaining the video tomorrow on YouTube starting an hour before at 6 A.M. EST

[kswiftie23]

I’m honestly not sure I’ve been in more pain than I am after finally admitting my feelings to someone after years of holding on to the secret, only to find out that not only does he not feel the same way but has never thought of me that way. :/

“because it’s better to look … think you look fat, than to be sick” 

taylor caught herself here and it shows a lot of work towards re-wiring the thought process at its very core. Separating opinion from reality. Our own thoughts can so very easily manipulate us and we don’t even realize it.
