taylor asking to see the movie early and then being like “oh here’s a song i wrote about it btw” is killing me a bit.

obsessed with her brazen confidence (think it really scares people in the fandom)

[cages-boxes-hunters-foxes]

I loved showgirl and max martin/shellback but i realized how much I really do love the work her and Jack do together

he’s her musical soulmate, there’s no comparison to me. their work just has so much heart

[cages-boxes-hunters-foxes]

Do you think she was actively recording TS13 then? Or not until a bit later?

i just think it’s very much in the oven and think it’s coming in the range of this fall (early end) to next spring (late end)

[cages-boxes-hunters-foxes]

So it was not even last year it was this year lol and people saying it was written in 2023/24

post showgirl release! this is the music she's thinking about!

[cages-boxes-hunters-foxes]

the song being written in february is setting off alarm bells in my head

[cages-boxes-hunters-foxes]

“Turns out, Taylor Swift is a huge ‘Toy Story’ fan like many of us. She actually requested to see an early version of then film and she wrote the song and then asked us if we wanted it and we said ‘Uh, yes! Yes we do.’ That was in February, so we had to keep that a secret since then.”

— Toy Story 5 VFX supervisor Thomas Jordan on I Knew It, I Knew You (x)

A lot of people’s issues is, as you said, they can’t comprehend that love is multifaceted. It’s not just caused by 1 thing, it’s multiple! Also just certain people who for some reason want to seem like masters and fans are the only aspect of real love in her life which, is a whole other conversation lol.

yeah like the reality is that a lot of factors have come together all at once to make taylor feel really herself and feel really good down to her bones. should all be celebrated!

[shouldntbeaskingmyselfwhy]

gives me hope that maybe all of us can work our way back to the girls we were when we picked up fearless idk idk

[cages-boxes-hunters-foxes]

I know she would like it but I hope Taylor doesn’t do that 😭😭😭 I want my videos

the thing is that i think people are on the whole very very engaged at taylor shows. not necessarily the case at the boygenius tour i went to (obviously boygenius fans and phoebe fans are not a 1:1 but it's a more similar vibe)

[cages-boxes-hunters-foxes]

it’s obviously not a “travis song” but people bending over backwards to make out like the “love has ways of bringing things back to life” is completely unrelated to the healing she’s done over the last three years and coming back to herself, a large part of which is related to her relationship, is very funny to me

it's because people (in both directions tbh) are unable to understand the entire picture of how all of these things fit together. her life is the way it is now because of all of it, not because of just part. it's her relationship it's her work it's her brain and her health it's her lifestyle idk

“Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, you were bigger than the whole sky… I’m never gonna meet what could’ve been, would’ve been, what should’ve been you” vs “I knew it, I knew you! Came back when it mattered, I saw you!”

🥲🥲🥲

[thisisctrying]

WEARIN’ THAT SAME SMILE, MAN ITS BEEN AWHIIIIIIIIIILE

[cages-boxes-hunters-foxes]

this song while thinking about taylor literally collapsing from joy when she found out she got her masters

yeah 🥲🥲🥲

[cages-boxes-hunters-foxes]

I noticed this with Showgirl and thought it was Max Martin production but I’m also noticing it here. Post-eras Taylor really knows how to use her voice as an instrument now

her vocals have just become so so so strong

[cages-boxes-hunters-foxes]

certain people don't want to accept that getting herself back led to all these great things that are a part of her journey, which of course includes her masters, but to the love of her life

and all of them are connected! she herself even said this!

[cages-boxes-hunters-foxes]

She’s good at writing about youth and the fragile beauty of innocence and hurt etc etc I can’t wait for her to write about-

I KNOWWWWWWW

[cages-boxes-hunters-foxes]

taylor's always been unmatched at using her vocals in the storytelling of the song and adding emotion and character to it, but her getting even better at it is almost scary.

i just love that she keeps honing her craft. 20 years in and still relentless as ever
