It is inherently fun and sexy to say statements that swap the traditional genders of pronouns and terms mid-statement, such as: "I'm going to make him my wife" "She's my boyfriend" "Who says a guy can't be a pretty princess?" "That girl's the coolest dude I've ever met" "She's a madman who has to be stopped" "It's not his fault he's a material girl" Gender is a set of watercolors and the prettiest shades come from mixing the paints together.
I think there’s been a(nother) glitch…
the subtitles that show for LWYMMD are automatically set to japanese.
all the other rep music videos are shown in english, however only give you the option for japanese, otherwise.
EASY by Shawn Mendes, an unreleased song that connects lyrically to 10 songs by Niall Horan ⭐️
Especially “The Show” (the nervous response song) + “Must Be Love” (recognizing, working toward an end goal following your heart instead of overthinking)
:::A THREAD:::
“Easy” by Shawn Mendes connects to “If You Leave Me” and “Cross Your Mind” through its imagery of diving into oceans, the hesitation (“you don’t”) by the same person diving into oceans, discussions of “your mind”, and then deciding if “it’s Easy.”
“If everything was easy” = “The Show”
——
A specialist in overthinking, who’s got a PhD in running away, who’s scared to death, and likes to vanish…
Maybe he should stop, and take it easy, don’t overthink it, listen to his heart’s desire?
Parallels exist between “Easy” by Shawn Mendes and “Must Be Love” 💗by Niall Horan
——
“Easy” by Shawn Mendes connects to three Niall songs that describe “close my eyes” to see our relationship - “Black and White”, “Too Much to Ask”, “Put a Little Love on Me”.
It also has a parallel to “You and Me”, “you and I know where it’s going” relates back to “it ends with you and me”
——
“Easy” by Shawn touches on the 🌹 reference (“grow out of control” rose promo pic for Heaven release)
“Easy” asks “why would you run?” 🏃♂️
Niall describes himself as a runner in 3 songs: “my heart was always on the run”, “we were on the run”, and “I got a PhD in always running away”
——
Niall’s description of running is always in contrast to loving
“On the run, but you making loving fun”
“Yesterday we were on the run, why’s it only YOU I’m thinking of?”
“I got a PhD in always running away, I’m trying to stop it but it feels like LOVE”
> Run? Drive forever with me?
——
“The Show” by Niall Horan is the song that most connects to “Easy” by Shawn Mendes, especially adding in “305” and its rollercoaster ride🎢☀️
They look at the sun, catch you when gravity comes 🪂, decide if they’re ready (one’s never been so sure vs other says not ready)
Is it EASY??
——————————
Easy by SM parallels with:
If You Leave Me 🌊
Cross Your Mind 🌊
Too Much to Ask 👁️🏃♂️
PALLOM 👁️
Black and White 👁️
Seeing Blind 🏃♂️
Must Be Love (🏃♂️, scared, overthinking)
The Show (looking at ☀️, easy)
You and Me ➡️

Dive into 🌊
On the run🏃♂️

Another connection
“Looking at the stars”, “how to get there or is it just too far”? “you’re right here beside me” of Finally Free by Niall Horan
Matches with “Easy” by Shawn Mendes:
“Why would you run when you could drive forever with me toward the Sun?”
“Wanna be wherever you are”
“she’s so boy crazy!!” really? EXPLAIN THIS🤨
"do you protect each other's solitude" is giving me major "darling dearest i'm fighting for your kind of quiet" vibes and yeah i am fine 🤠👍
no because you don't understand how soft this is because he's essentially saying do you respect each other's personal space and do you understand that sometimes you and your partner both need solitude and the space and time to deal with things at your own pace and do you understand that it's necessary to let yourself and your partner be individual people in the relationship and it's reminding me so much of satellite and angels fly because they're both songs about respecting and giving each other the time and space to deal with things and assuring them that no matter how they're feeling, no matter what they're going through, you'll always still be there for them, by their side, or waiting with open arms, caring for and loving them wholeheartedly despite it all and this sort of understanding only comes from a place of maturity and it's the dedication and adoration for someone despite, despite, despite.
Harry gender reveals are nice and sweet with a pin to poke the balloon and louis is stomping on it and swearing I’m 😭😭😭 I love them both so much
I think Taylor often uses summer as a metaphor for coming out like daylight which makes sense since it’s a very sunny season and winter would then be the opposite of this. And it makes sense why folklore (spring/summer) and evermore (fall/winter) would directly follow lover if the failed coming out theories are correct. It was her way of processing these emotions.
I think this is what the transition from august to illicit affairs is supposed to represent. The vibrant sunset and rainbow colors (lover era) drain away and turn into gray (folklore era)—“you showed me colors you know I can’t see with anyone else.” The sunset visuals during august also indicate that summer and daylight are indeed the same thing metaphorically since the sun is going away as she sings “so much for summer love.” She was so close to claiming her sunshine, both the concept and person, but it slipped away from her 💔
I think it’s very poetic that there’s an alternative ending on folklore. Hoax is one possible ending, “my eclipsed sun…this has frozen my ground” and she could’ve stayed frozen in that winter but the lakes offers a bit of hope, “A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground” which indicates spring and summer have returned 🌹☀️ Similarly in the song evermore she decides to go back inside her warm cabin instead of staying out in the cold which she said represents finding hope again (48:00 of this vid). And to tie it all together she chose a cardigan, her “wool to brave the seasons,” as the main motif of folklore since this person kept her warm during that perilous winter.
in case anyone hasn’t seen this
like of course she played ivy today 😭
i'm just realising now how louis' movements look like he's used to resting his chin on someone and Harry's look like he nuzzles his person's throat, neck or shoulder. i'm not strong enough for this
the what a feeling to be a king beside you, somehow energy of these tho 🤧🤧
Not Taylor Swift literally giving her (mostly female) audience a strip tease on a literal hairpin chair. I can’t stand her gay Easter egg hiding ass.
evermore (full performance) — just astonishing and worth the wait, and the vocals!✨
Such a meaningful and beautiful performance
Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour - Cincinnati, OH | June 30
She’s so fucking adorable
