WELL. We had our first rain show of The Eras Tour. And it was SO MUCH FUN. The dancers, band, crowd and I all pretty much turned into little kids joyfully jumping in puddles all night. I wanted to thank the crowd again for waiting for the weather to clear. And my amazing crew for keeping the stage, lighting and equipment all dry and working so we could play. That was a late, great night I won’t forget. 🥹

So let’s get this straight… a certain male artist bragged at a concert that he was topping Taylor on the billboard charts at that moment. The next day, he cancelled his concert b/c he partied too hard. Taylor just performed until 2am in the pouring rain. Alexa, play The Man.
Some might say she was a popular author. I would say she was a beloved author. To know the difference is to understand her, to truly understand her legacy.
She died 4 years ago today.
It feels like 4 minutes ago.
It feels like 4 centuries ago.
“Maybe, just maybe, the issue isn’t an athlete’s vertical leap," writes @katefagan3 “but rather the rapid decaying of women’s sports history – its much quicker half-life.” https://t.co/NxWpME4hGO
Lorelai and Rory are the classic codependent mother and daughter. Rory is parentified by her emotionally immature parent. Lorelai uses her as her sole confidant (BFF), and there are no boundaries— Lorelai is over-involved in every aspect of her life. This shows up as: control, manipulation, and withholding. Lorelai projects her own dream of going to Harvard into Rory since childhood. When Rory applies to Yale, she sulks and leaves a dinner. Rory hides things from her for fear of how she’ll react. They never openly communicate and often give each other the silent treatment during conflict. Their dramatic relationship makes for an addictive show and leaves out the true pain, dysfunction, and shame that comes from codependent relationships.
