“girls just watch f1 for the hot drivers” wrong some of us are here to watch the paddock and spectators just vibing for 2+ hours

Things to look forward to:

new songs from your favorite artists or bands

bubble baths, sleepovers and bike rides

learning new things and languages

unexpected moments of feeling calm and happy

watching movies under your blanket on rainy days

meeting someone who is everything you’ve ever needed

loving yourself, forgiving your past mistakes

going to the library and reading new books

watching sunsets, especially in foreign cities

road trips, stargazing, coffee dates and adventures

having your own apartment and feeling at peace

letting things go and new beginnings

Taylor Swift’s Track Fives

bleachellaz

I should’ve added this to my other posts but like Taylor has been a risk taker every single step of her career yet no one thinks of her like that because her risks always pay off.... she moved to Nashville and placed her bets on a label that wasn’t even really founded yet, she wrote an entire album alone because of criticism, switching to pop was predicted to end her 1M+ first week sales and she was at risk of losing her main audience, writing a letter to Apple Music AND pulling out of Spotify for years didn’t stop her sales or her tours, the Reputation stadium tours slow ticket strategy was predicted to flop yet she sold out every single show, she switched to an indie sound that’s notoriously less played on radio and less consumed yet was the most streamed and best selling artist of the year, she switched to surprise releases instead of strong commercial album rollouts and every single one of these has made her bigger and stronger and the most notable artist of her generation and yet people think she’s some girl who always plays it safe and is backed by big labels. She isn’t, Taylor Swift is the definition of a risk taker

god but the thing about fearless that was so important when it was released, and the thing that still makes it have so much impact all these years later, is because this was a teenage girl entering a male dominated music scene and saying, “no, i’m going to sing about my feelings, i am going to be open about my emotions, i am going to tell my stories.” it was so openly and honestly an album by a teenage girl, and that’s what made it so endearing. that’s what drew so many people to taylor, people who have now stuck around for over a decade, people who grew up with her. it was an album about crushes and puppy love and your best friend and your mother and the first day of high school and all those little moments in your life that seemed so huge at the time. she named names, she recounted specific details, she made sure we knew exactly what she was feeling and exactly who she was talking about. that’s what made it stand out, that’s why it put taylor on the map. it was an album that wanted to be a voice of young girls everywhere. and now she’s revisiting it, and she’s not as young as she once was, but she’s still honest and emotional and tells her own stories. and she’s kind to the girl she once was. treats every song that she wrote as a teenager with as much care and love as she did when she first recorded them, because taylor knows how important they were. how important they are. to the young girl who wrote them, and to the people they inspired everywhere.

FEARLESS (TAYLOR’S VERSION) // APRIL 9, 2021 Fearless was an album full of magic and curiosity, the bliss and devastation of youth. It was the diary of the adventures and explorations of a teenage girl who was learning tiny lessons with every new crack in the facade of the fairytale ending she’d been shown in the movies.
