The colours make me think it’s related to the re-records. I wonder if there’s a yellow and blue one we haven’t found yet? Idk.

Is it just the three songs so far? Curious that it’s only I Knew It, I Knew You and Blank Space.

Some Spotify canvases in different colours?? What is Taylor up to??

[theprettylights]

This is a crazy game, I can’t believe there’s still no score? I hope it doesn’t go to penalties, that would be a rough way to lose.

Watching Every Year After and I hate the location change from the book. The vibes are all off!!

[theprettylights]

Okay new Kelly Clarkson is a banger!!

[theprettylights]

Well, I discovered Gracie’s new album is perfect to fall asleep to.

Finished Every Summer After and I can see why it was picked up as a TV show. I do think One Golden Summer was better though!

“I’m going to debunk that [idea that those vocals are designed to sound like The System Only Dreams In Total Darkness]. It's a good story how this happened. Taylor was, she actually. arranged those vocals to go at the end of the song, so she was doing those choral, like these angelic, choral parts over the end of the last chorus of the song that you hear-when you listen to the song, you'll hear her doing that. But then she actually said, 'What if that went at the beginning of the song?' Taylor is interesting when she records, because she has kind of mapped it out in her head. Part of it like, comes naturally to her. It's also because she's been thinking about it. But she'11 come in and kind of have a whole architecture in her head that she's going to chase down, and that was one of those things. But then we were like, 'Oh, wow, That's so beautiful. What if it comes at the beginning?' And then she kind of sang more to it.”

“That one's interesting. It's actually, what you hear when that song starts, you hear the air conditioning in the backstage of an arena in Germany where The National was playing, where I wrote it, because it was really.cold. It was like a hockey arena in Germany or something, and it was an awful, awful situation, but then that's me patting my leg, like playing drums on my leg, which I often do, which I kind of learned over time that if you record yourself like, playing surfaces or your body, and record it with an iPhone, it just sounds cool. I wrote the music first and Taylor wrote to it. I think she said that when she heard that sound of the, what is me like, playing my thigh essentially, that it reminded her of someone walking on cobblestones in high heels, like, unevenly, and that gave her an image in her mind which sort of like, led her into the narrative that she wrote.”

voguemagazine: @Juju Smith-Schuster and @Laura_Kruk have tied the knot. The wedding took place at the Ritz-Carlton in Laguna Niguel, California, on July 10, 2026. The celebratory weekend began with a Hawaiian beachside welcome party in Laguna Niguel, a nod to the groom’s Samoan roots. The next day, the ceremony was set on a lawn overlooking the ocean adorned with white and green florals. The guest list was star-studded, even including Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. “Seeing all of our family and friends mingling and making new friends was so fun to see.” Tap the link in our bio for more on the coastal California celebration.

sweetest sentiment from a guest at the wedding https://x.com/thepivot/status/2075736507604742593?s=20

this is so lovely and warm!

“First and foremost, I think the coolest thing about it is, I know, I had no entitlement to be there, so to be one of the people that they considered close enough, important enough, however they decided to make their list, was truly an honor. And it’s not my story to tell. I don’t get to say what went on, what it looked like, who was there. I will say this, I had the opportunity to speak to Trav at the reception, and I just hugged him man, and said, ‘You know, the one thing that was extremely evident the entire night, throughout the vows, was, those two humans really love each other, you know?’ Those are two people who are insanely talented, insanely successful, extremely well off, and they had found their person. Like, Trav had been looking for one thing his whole life. She had been looking for one thing her whole life. And they actually got that. And the happiness man, between those two, that they shared that whole night, was truly, truly a blessing to witness, and be a part of, so I wish them nothing but the best.”
