It’s been a long time coming indeed! ✨🫶🏼
Willingly, without a doubt, traveled miles to watch her live again. 🇵🇭🇯🇵 Last time I saw her was in 2014 - Red Tour
I had the time of my life with you, @taylorswift13 I love you! 🫶🏼

I can’t with these thinkpiece writers going insane with how Taylor will NEVER have to contort herself for them LMFAO
Not for validation because she literally has 4 AOTYs. And DEFINITELY NOT for sales—with Showgirl being the only album in history to have a 4M Billboard 200 debut.
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 ❤️🔥

Today marks #20YearsOfTaylorSwift.
Widely regarded as the biggest star on the planet, Taylor Swift has cultivated an era-defining career spanning 20 years, with her twelve record-shattering albums catapulting her into music history’s Big 5 (joining The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, and Queen), claiming the honor of being the #1 best-selling female artist of all time (with 270 million album units) and solidifying her place as the de facto leader of the 21st century.
She is the #1 highest-grossing touring artist of all time, the #1 Billboard 200 artist of all time, the #1 most-streamed artist in Spotify history, the #2 most-streamed artist in Apple Music history, the #1 best-selling artist of the 21st century, the #1 most-awarded female artist of all time, the youngest woman to ever be inducted in the Songwriters Hall of Fame, the only musical act to ever be hailed TIME’s Person of the Year, the only artist to ever have eight 1M+ debuts on Billboard 200, and the record holder for the most Album of the Year wins in GRAMMYs’ seven-decade history (with a legendary four AOTY wins).
Among the near-unbreakable records that have cemented and immortalized her legacy, the biggest of them all are her cataclysmic, economy-shifting, earthshaking Eras Tour holding the title as the #1 highest-grossing tour of all time (with an unprecedented $2.077 billion total); her streaming behemoth “THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT” obliterating the record for the biggest album debut in Spotify history (with a whopping 314.5 million first-day streams); her being the only artist in history to ever *completely* sweep the entire Top 10, the entire Top 12, and the entire Top 14 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart; and her sales juggernaut “The Life of a Showgirl” holding the record for the biggest album debut in Billboard 200 history, amassing an astronomical 4.005 million album copies (U.S.) on its first week alone and practically breaking every single sales record in existence.
Her monumental 13th studio album is yet to come.
Something Taylor rarely gets credit for is how deeply she understands and respects established soundscapes. We saw that with Beautiful Ghosts, where she tailored her songwriting beautifully to fit the Cats soundtrack, and now she’s done it again with Toy Story.
🚨| “I Knew It, I Knew You” is out everywhere!
for spotify users here's the playlist that you can stream on loop!
spread it everywhere!

Writing this song felt like a musical departure and coming home at the same time. Creating something for Jessie was a new challenge and also felt like second nature all at once. And being a @toystory kid from the age of 5 til now… is an adventure I plan to be on, to infinity and beyond.
Thank you to the brilliant Andrew Stanton for imagining me for this, all those years ago when you wrote this newest film. Thank you to the incomparable @RandyNewman or the gorgeous sonic tapestry of songs and scores you’ve meticulously woven over the years. You created the Toy Story musical world, and we are lucky to get to live in it.
By we, I mean myself and my pal @jackantonoff. We wrote this with so much adoration for these characters that made us laugh and helped us learn lessons and think outside the backyard all throughout our childhoods. “I Knew It, I Knew You” from Toy Story 5 is out everywhere now. 🤠🐴

SOLID BLOC 11: ALAN PETER CAYETANO RESIGN!
What happened today was a clear abandonment of responsibility, a dereliction of duty, and a blatant disregard of the rules that govern this institution, because the Senate cannot be made to stop working simply because its presiding officer refuses to lead.
Under Rule XIV, Sec. 41 of the Rules of the Senate, the Senate President may postpone the holding of the session AFTER consultation with the Majority Leader AND the Minority Leader. That rule was violated. This is not merely a procedural lapse—it is a direct violation of the Rules of the Senate and a serious disrespect for the institution and the Filipino people.
Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano SHOULD RESIGN as he has shown that he cannot function as the leader of the Senate.
