Dear Reader,

It was Cassandra.

[sippingaugust]

If she plays Cornelia Street tonight can people please do phone lights for her??

[shedidntevenswear]

What Swift Unsolved Mystery keeps you up most at night?

Wtf was the Stephen Colbert interview

When she said “next chapter” at AMAs 2019 and all spotify images but SOU changed

Why did she say “talk real slow” instead of “low”

Did Taylor really not see anyone guess the album was called Lover

Why was Cruel Summer not a single

What does the green dot mean in the year 2023 like who is there

How did they do that one shot of her leaning forward on 1989 tour movie

There are Sagittarius and Pisces constellations on the Mastermind vinyl cover 🥹

[sippingaugust]

Do I really have to count the constellations… on his back? Hahaha

[sippingaugust]

Taylor really meant it when she said she’d make more opportunities. I got tickets 😭

[sippingaugust]

Can’t wait for the next edition of Mad Woman/Vigilante Shit.

[themomentiknew]

i know we’re kinda past this but i can’t stop thinking about how most of my american mutuals got tickets for lover fest which consisted of FOUR!!! dates but couldn’t get tickets for the eras tour

[themomentiknew]

don’t leave this in the tags omg!!

[sippingaugust]

I will never get over Loverfest being cancelled if I can’t get tickets to this tour. I had the perfect floor seats 😭

[sippingaugust]

My 3 most visceral reactions:

Midnight Rain - is this, I SWEAR THIS IS CALVIN *crawls up the back of the couch*

Sweet Nothings - love is beautiful *crying*

Karma - a vibe, a bop, CATS *dance it out*

[sippingaugust]

The first thing I said when she announced 13 tracks was “that seems a little light”…

[sippingaugust]

Tell me Midnight Rain isn’t a Calvin Harris track. I STOOD!

[sippingaugust]

I really need to know what the 3am chaotic announcement is more than I need to hear the album at this point. 😂

Going to manifest for a minute - imagine she puts out the one version of Midnights with like a Jack Antonoff pop production on it and then releases a second version with the same lyrics but completely different Aaron Dessner production. She would nail something like this.

if this is ugly merch I’m going to scream

[sippingaugust]

Same

[bleachellaz]

Idk who needs to hear this but like... Taylor was like a major independent artist her entire career 💀 she had to earn that shit herself, built a label from the groun up herself, paid for her music videos herself

[augustheads]

this is completely true and the most underrated part about her. people instead focus on her dad owning a single digit percentage of the company (which was brand new, so not like... insane amounts of money) taylor WALKED AWAY from a large label because she wanted to release a full LP so bad. she took a chance on a man who left a large label as well. she made that place everything it is today. SHE sat on the floor and sent CDs of her singles to radio. SHE baked cookies and other goods for hosts to promote. SHE wrote her songs. SHE created the themes of her albums, tours, merch designs. SHE decided to use social media HER WAY to interact with fans and authentially grow. Taylor Swift made herself who she is. Yes, she had help from a team as she grew, she had a family with money who supported her, but NEVER, EVER dismiss how much work it was for a TEEN GIRL to put herself out there like that. In a male dominated genre. With radio that is still explicitly sexist.

[peakatseven]

Y'all forget that all of self titled and half of fearless was literally recorded on a basement with shitty equipment. If taylor ever had help of a team later on, its because she earned the money to hire them herself. Big Machine Records was created to release Taylor Swift the album, and it became a Label Group years later.

This is why walking away from the label was such a big decision for her, she wasn't just walking away from her entire musical career which was already hard enough. She was walking away from a mega successful business she built up herself since she was a teen.

MR. PERFECTLY FINE IS ONE OF THE BEST TRACKS OF THE WHOLE FEARLESS ERA

AND WHY HADN’T WE HEARD DON’T YOU BEFORE NOW

Anyway, thank you Taylor good night ❤️

[sippingaugust]

Me and my husband both started bawling through The Best Day at exactly the same time

[sippingaugust]

It is literally as if she wrote every line of Change about tonight, when she finally owns her albums 😭
