Tonight all these lives converge here
The mosaics of laughter and cocktails of tears
Where fraternal souls sing identical things
And it’s beautiful
It’s rapturous.
It is frightening.

I can’t tell you how proud I am to share this with you, an album that just feels so right. A forever thank you goes out to my mentors and friends Max and Shellback for helping me paint this self portrait.

If you thought the big show was wild, perhaps you should come and take a look behind the curtain...

The Life of a Showgirl is out now.

📝 | @RollingStone has given #TSTheLifeofaShowgirl  a perfect score of 100!

“But with every step Swift takes, she sheds those feelings of loss and despair. Showgirl is the castle she built out of all the bricks that have been thrown at her. She begged on her knees to change the prophecy, and the love she writes about here did just that. She lost her life’s work, but now the empire belongs to her.”

Happy #TSTheLifeOfAShowgirl release day to all who celebrate ❤️‍🔥🫶

Was legitimately explaining this filter yesterday to the group of journalists in prison I work with & I never would have imagined the next day I’d see it overlayed on pictures of her engagement?????

Just got off my plane and now I’m pretty sure there are more people inside the Seattle airport right this second than there are in the entire city of Pendleton

"your 20s are for-" ENOUGH. my 20s are for watching criminal minds, listening to taylor swift and absolutely nothing else.

While you're watching these fires grow across LA, understand that incarcerated people make up 30% of the California's on-the-ground wildfire crews
