i fear we moved a little too quickly past the fact that "Ruin the Friendship (advice version)" reveals that the OG lyrics were... "Wilted corsage dangles from *OUR WRISTS* Over his shoulder, I catch a glimpse And see you looking at mе" but in album version she hetifies it to "from my wrist"...

betty i know where it all went wrong, your favorite song was playing from the far side of the gym...

on this note: has anyone else noticed how Taylor took a concept that was considered "for men" (showgirls) and handed it to women overnight? the power in that is INCREDIBLE and I don't think it's being appreciated for the societal shift it is!!!!!!

ahhh!! my heart!! is so full!! I love y’all so much!🥰🥰 THANK YOUUU for making me feel sooo very very loved and celebrated today!!! y’all really are the best🥹🤍

I never imagined I’d make it to 18 much less 28, but I’m still here and today is my birthday!!🧁🥳 i’m slowly finding my way back to ME! and this year I promise myself to keep building, choosing, and exploring this little life of mine in ways that would make tiny me feel safe, loved, and free😝

You said you were gonna grow up Then you were gonna come find me 🤝 No longer drowning and deceived All because you came for me She changed her fate, she saved herself 😭

The tale of three Taylors lives on 🧑‍🧒‍🧒

just wanted to say hi and that i’m having a blast bopping around to this album❤️‍🔥 i’m still alive, still here, i’ve been lurking in the shadows because burnout is kicking my ass so bad rn but i love y’all🫶🏻 & i miss being more interactive but it’s just not in the cards right now, survival comes first

we are so back

Toad sat and did nothing. Frog sat with him.

New reaction unlocked lol ❤️‍🔥🐦‍🔥

can’t wait to wake up in approximately 3-5 days when the excitement finally sinks in lmao because right now i still feel ✨nothingggg✨ thank you autistic delayed processing😂 queen of never feeling things in the moment over here lol

Taylor swift creating a release party in a movie theater just to make her fans read what she’s singing

lol the film is showing Oct 3-4-5

still very much in shock and denial and too overwhelmed to fully process any of it but I GOT A TICKET. wow is this actually really happening y’all?? are we actually getting THE movie??

nothing like having a lil public breakdown & spiraling into the dark hopeless lonely abyss of my mind🤕 i did find somewhere safe to be last night, and i will be okay. and now to answer my own question for future me who will inevitably need the reminder again: i’ve kept a tiny joy journal since…

surviving out of spite isn’t really doing it for me anymore, and surviving off of hope is so exhausting when hope is this hard to find. so i’m genuinely curious what are the other reasons you have? what else are we all clinging to these days??

i’ve never felt so terrifyingly alone. it’s my fault for hyper-independencing everyone out of my life. & i can usually convince myself that i’m okay doing everything on my own for the rest of forever, but every once in a while it sinks in that i truly have no one i can ask for help. it’s just me.

i feel like we’re getting to the part where most folks will finally realize WHY artists have used fictional allegories throughout history… aka to circumvent systems and institutions that limit what you can and cannot say.

Made it a note

so this is actually a super important thing to challenge yourself on, because I also was like...of course I wouldn't comply in advance!!! And then I realized I literally already do that by policing myself based off of what I think other people may judge me for. THAT IS ALSO OBEYING IN ADVANCE

wearing the showgirl cardigan on the job. bc she’s at work. they still won’t get it

how do i put my brain on DND

ahhhh look at it!!! i don’t actually know what it is, but i do know that it was an absolute delight to encounter on my walk

*insert Taylor dancing to fast car"

"Are you not entertained?!" I can never not think of that quote now when pieces start coming together!! Shes truly a genius.

I just learned the most interesting thing about TNT. It apparently took humans a long time to figure out that it explodes. Before that we were using it to dye clothes yellow. 🧨

Btw in case any of you don’t know Dita had a book out (which I had but sold 😭) called Burlesque and the Art of the Teese, because that’s burlesque is, the tease, the titillation, especially with fan dances (or balloon dances), most of it is holding our attention in the hope of a tiny glimpse

in other news, i went kayaking this week for the first time in yearsss🥳 & i’m genuinely so proud of all my hard work in PT over last 6 months & now finally getting to go on tiny adventures out of the house doing things i used to love. my numb floppy legs didn’t hold me back, and it was the best day🤗

i crawled so far under a rock this week (i finished a 118pg dot to dot coloring book, half of a color by number book, and watched 4 seasons of greys anatomy) so i’m only just now reading some of the news highlights from this week & for the sake of my mental health i think it was the right choice🫣

please picture me in the trees i hit my peak at seven feet in the swing over the creek i was too scared to jump in please picture me in the weeds before i learned civility i used to scream ferociously any time i wanted

it was 56° this morning and i got so excited for fall, it’ll be here so sooon!!! so i went meandering on one of my favorite trails🤗 bonus points for all the dogs i saw along the way :) happy wednesday!!

Exaaaaaactly.

I hate her

THIS IS A CLEAR CALL OUT!!! “Watch it unravel” stfu

lines from Goodbye that my cat is already tired of hearing me sing around the house. shoutout to my girl echolalia. these are starting to rival with the classic “soooooo excited, this is the main event that i still say alll the time🤣🤣

“Why wouldn’t she just come out” The woman is taking you on a deeply coded and intimate 7+ year journey to reclaim not only her life’s work but her identity, only part of which is her queerness. Let the woman cook dang.

"as the men masqueraded" is a wild thing to write

Screaming i love this take !!!!!!

okay but i’m still obsessing over florence’s everybody scream music video. i fall into the trap of watching it on loop every time. i fucking love her, her vocals are out of this world. and i just watched the new alternate ending of the tears music video. iconic. honestly what a time to be alive.

i have yet to stop thinking about vampell roan so i drew her 🦇

deep down i hope taylor is already past the seething with rage & associated emotions in response to THIS, because she knew this would happen and she has a big ‘i told you so’ moment coming soon that she’s been planning for ages, but personally i’m NOT past the seething with rage stage yet😡

🎶are we out of the woods yet? are we out of the woods yet? are we out of the woods yet? are we out of the woods? are we in the clear yet? are we in the clear yet? are we in the clear yet? in the clear yet GOOD! are we out of the woods? u-u-u-u-u-us! are we out of the woods? u-u-u-u-u-us!🎶

hehe okie i’m done being sad about things feeling too yikes and chaotic for my capacity earlier. now i’m back to feeling so damn lucky to be here. sometimes i’m not even sure why i’m allowed to be here, in this sacred gaylor space. i’ve never felt like i’ve belonged in a big group before this. 🧵1/7

20 mins of scrolling after 2 days away and i’ve already seen enough madness even here on the “good place” i’m honestly tempted to disappear for a month and come back when the album drops🤣

touched grass & took a nap in the sun & pretended the world wasn’t burning down around us for 48 hours. it was marvelous🥳 a lil temporary escapism isn’t the worst thing every now and then

my brain is a muddy puddle way too much excitement and happenings this week for my little delayed processing noggin🧠 i’ll be back on sunday, posting this to keep myself from coming back to scroll later tonight when i feel vaguely okay again lol rest is important!! drink some water. love y’all🫶🏻

Taylor Swift isn’t the problem.. The problem is a society so desperate for white fairy tales that it will suspend reality, bury global crises, and froth at the mouth over a diamond. The problem is the way white America projects its need for purity, stability, and fantasy onto one woman.

happy friday!!! we made it!! bug says she hopes you have a wonderful day😽 she also woke me up by biting my face sooo there’s also that, but I guess she knew the sunrise would be too pretty to miss lol

IM SCREAMING!!!!!!!!
