[Taylor Swift @taylorswift13]

About a year ago, you guys did a truly unfathomable thing. Something that completely blew my mind… You gave The Life of a Showgirl the biggest first week for an album in history. I took a trip to Sweden to celebrate with Max and Shellback, my two collaborators on this album. Really we just wanted to reflect and take in how grateful we were for the moment we were in, but there was a studio there and we did what we do when we feel anything at all: We wrote more songs. I hope you love them, because they were born out of pure gratitude for your exuberance for and celebration of the album we made. The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore including four new songs is out on Friday and available to pre-order and save now at https://t.co/bWaNOQ6OmT ❤️‍🔥

An awful lot of doubles in the Emmy's skit with Mariska Hargitay and Taylor Swift!

2 Olivias 2 WIG?s
2 13s
2 Emmy statuettes
2 Crime boards
2 Orange hearts next to an aqua and a dark green pick, together

Is Debut a double album, a double release with rep, double the fun???

How many of these did you catch in Fortnight?

3 things I noticed:

• Short time spans are elongated through grief
• Florida connects to Florida!!! which connects to the "miracle move-on drug"
• She finally gets the notice she longs for when he comments on her sweater

It’s WENDY!

Named after the iconic character Wendy Peffercorn from The Sandlot, and as reported by Forbes (not Vogue, who interviewed Travis and featured the Samoyed).

Video below is the Tommy Hilfiger ad/partnership the Vogue story was about.

And for a fortnight there, we were forever

Why does Fortnight feel so out of order? I’m tracing the fractured timeline, the miracle move-on drug, some surprising Desperate Housewives parallels, and Post Malone’s role in a song that keeps us deliberately off balance.
