always rising from the ashes

Hi, I'm Hayley! 23, college student, pronouns are she/her/hers. My soul is owned by Taylor Alison Swift. I like to think way too hard about musical theatre.

THE GREAT SWIFTIE MIGRATION OF 2023

*taps mic* is this thing on?

OKAY friends hello, i am back over here on tumblr i think for good because twitter is a cesspit rm!! and in any case i like having more room to write cause lyric analysis is my JAM so i want to have more of a presence over here anyway!!

here’s some things you might be interested to know about me!

Been a swiftie since roughly 2007 (i heard teardrops on my guitar on the radio when i was 6 and it put me in taylor’s chokehold which i still haven’t gotten out of)

still 23 inside my fantasy (and also in reality)

went to speak now and red tours, taylor-gated n3 chicago for eras tour!

speak now is my stan album, but i’d go to battle for any and all of them (do not come at me with any debut or lover slander)

i’m a lyrics girlie!! come freak out with me about taylor’s way with words because i’m not even exagerating when i say she’s the greatest poet of our time!

also might occasionally post political and social justice stuff on here so if that’s not your thing maybe give this blog a miss!

Taylor Swift currently has 43.6 BILLION streams globally this year across all platforms; the biggest streaming year in history

She sold over 18 million total album units in the US alone in 2023 so far; the biggest selling year in history

This doubles her sales from 2022 when she sold 9M, which was also the biggest selling year in history.

Team “not actually oblivious to flirting, just terrified of appearing presumptuous” represent.

“Yes, in the balance of consideration this person’s behaviour could certainly be interpreted as flirtatious, but it would be purest arrogance for me to just assume they actually meant what they said. I should gather more evidence. Forever.”

The thing I love most about Travis is his willingness to be visibly smitten. He is not embarrassed at all and isn't hiding ANYTHING re: his feelings for her and it's so refreshing

what a miracle, he says, the way swift can turn life into poetry. "i've never been a man of words. being around her, seeing how smart taylor is, has been fucking mind-blowing. i'm learning every day." [...] he doesn't need to be asked about taylor; he mentions her unreservedly, lavishes praise on her, calls her hilarious," "a genius," notes that they share compatible worldviews

[heystephen]

travis is literally one of us. he’s like a swiftie mutual to me

[heystephen]

i need to have swiftie discourse with him. i need to know his track 5 ranking. is he pro-spelling-is-fun or is he against it? is he a meredith girlie or is he an olivia girlie or pray tell, is he a benjamin girlie? does he want to come over and make friendship bracelets? what’s his opinion on this love being cut from the 1989 tour setlist? travissssss speak to me

International Swifties, we need your help with a serious matter:

Tonight there was an interview on Fantástico (a Brazilian newspaper) with the relatives of Ana Benevides, who passed away last Friday (17). Ana’s mother reported that she needs help to transport Ana’s body to Mato Grosso do Sul, because he is still in Rio de Janeiro (in another city/state). This transportation costs a high price, so we need to move around to be able to help them with this. We have already achieved so many things that seemed to be impossible, so we can achieve that too.

We still don’t have any kitty information to share with you, but we can move by going up a tag and DEMANDING @t4f to do something about it.

To help us, please comment “JUSTIÇA POR ANA BENEVIDES” and tag @taylornation13 and @t4f

[cages-boxes-hunters-foxes]

I'm not on any other social media so if anyone knows of any requests for donations for Ana's family or anything, I'm sure we can take care of it as a fandom, yeah? Basically I'm asking if you can post this to crowdsource links because I'm very emotional and want to give something to help.

they have not been asking for money! they just want people to sign their petition as far as i know:

updates: a few minutes ago, her mom gave an interview to one of the biggest brazilian tv programs. she said that they are struggling to take her body to their home state, and that the producers (T4F) are not offering any help and that she knows that the artist has no fault on this. i don't know how to help, but i thought that it could be helpful to share! here's the link to the article (you can translate it) + video:

hi everyone! while we sit on our couches typing paragraphs, here are a few threads of fans who need help either trading tickets or funds to stay in rio that you can donate to (reminder that USD$1 = nearly R$5) or boost!
