When do you think taylor will tour the us next?

Based on how she's done it in the past, I would guess mid-late 2015 into early 2016, since the 5th album should come out this fall.

@taylorswift13: I haven’t done a video blog in about 2 years but this was so much fun, I had to.

TAYLOR SWIFT shopping in NYC (04.09.14)

[tayswiftdotcom]

Shopping at Theory in NYC 4/9/14 (x)

[dylobrians-deactivated20220405]

I’ve been spending the last eight months thinking all love ever does is break, and burn, and end but on a Wednesday, in a cafe…I watched it begin again.

[ljubicaste]

Swift softens her scornful tone on the impressive ballad “All Too Well.” Lyrics like “We’re dancing round the kitchen in the refrigerator light / Down the stairs, I was there, I remember it all too well” reveal a more relatable narrative than a clichéd Romeo & Juliet romance. The slow build up of “Treacherous” can be compared to U2’s “With or Without You.” As for “Holy Ground,” it’s simply the best thing Swift has ever done. The sprightly “Holland, 1945” knock-off makes me wonder that if her anonymous hipster ex-boyfriend made her suffer through In The Aeroplane Over The Sea—my educated guess for the maligned album in “We Are Never…”—maybe some that Elephant 6 magic seeped past her perfect bangs. If you’re offended that I’d dare compare Jeff Mangum to Taylor Swift… that’s kind of my point. Swift is as legitimate an artist as Mangum or Frank Ocean or Fiona Apple or Kendrick Lamar or whomever else you want to compare her against. The dominant theme throughout Red is a rejection of the hipper-than-thou attitude that Swift encountered in her failed relationship. A lyric in “22” rings true: “It seems like one of those nights / This place is too crowded too many cool kids.” The tall, blonde, neurotic Swift has long been ostracized by the cool kids, and now the older, more mature Swift is fed up with their dumb games. A legitimate question can be raised why Pitchfork, an increasingly mainstream publication whose year-end rankings holds some weight in the music industry, has never reviewed a Taylor Swift album. They’ve reviewed Lady Gaga, Adele, Rihanna and Beyonce, but the site only references Swift as part of the Kanye meltdown. It’s a shame Pitchfork didn’t rate Red because it’s an album that truly deserves its best new music label. I’ve listened to hundreds of albums this year, and while there are many indie records that are cooler than Red, there are few that are better.

Why not Taylor? An argument for “Red” as 2012’s Album of the Year (via pruvia)

why the only time you reblog this?

because let's be honest, it's not the finest piece of cinema in the world. i mean, it's cute, don't get me wrong, and i love a rom com as much as the next person but still, it's not my fave.
