Hi @taylornation13 just in case you were wondering I’m 100% available to go wherever you need me to be whenever you want me to!!! 🧡 Ohh and also I’ve never met Taylor in these 17 years!!!
Friendly reminder that is basically impossible for Taylor to "fumble" a track 5, because it is canonically the track that has the most meaning to HER. Not to you. No no.
And if you don't like it or don't get it then it's not a song for you and that's okay.
I love how milk is so alive it’s almost schizophrenic. Put some cultures in and it yogurtfies. Add some acid, you’ve got cheese. Hundred of types of cheese based on just waiting times. Insane. Cook it and it caramelizes into thick nectar. Steam it and a cappuccino is born.
Ice cream. Sweetened condensed. Goat milk. Sour cream. Heavy cream. Raw. Buttermilk. Powdered milk. Milk chocolate.
We love milk so much we speak about percentages of it, like gold carats.
Milk is foundational. Biblical. Something maternal and natural and feminine about it. Milk is alive
Sorry to go on about Taylor Swift, but I keep seeing "Let your daughter be an Erika Kirk, not a Taylor Swift.
Fuck that!
Here's a little about Taylor Swift.
She is GENEROUS.
She gave her crew for the Eras Tour 10% of the revenue. That's $197 million.
She donated enough money at EVERY venue to top off food banks for a year.
She gives money to random GoFundMes. She gave $100,000 to the family of a fire fighter who died.
She gave another $100,000 to a toddler who had cancer.
She gave away well over $200 million last year alone. And that's just what we KNOW about.
She is KIND.
She identifies fans and each year, sends a set of them Christmas presents. She looks at their Social Media to figure out what they want and buys them hand-selected gifts.
Then she WRAPS THEM HERSELF and mails them packages.
When she gave her crew bonuses, she didn't just have her accountant take care of it. She gave each of them a hand-written, personalized note.
That shows a kind of humanity that is really touching. She doesn't see employees. She sees people. You can't fake that at the end. You have to take the time to notice people and appreciate them individually throughout the year, and there were over 100 of them.
That is quite a capacity to care. Can we honestly just appreciate how big of a heart that takes? To take moments every day to NOTICE things.
I once had a venue manager tell me that when she performed at their venue she went around and introduced herself to every one of them.
She is the only act they'd ever seen do that.
She is ACCOMPLISHED
She is already one of the most successful recording artists in history, and she's only 36.
I don't care if you like her music. Her fans do. She knows her audience.
I'm a 58-year-old Gen X dude. I'm not her target audience. I can live with not everything having to be made for me.
I'm a classic rock guy. I honestly don't even know what Swift's songs are. I don't feel the need to listen to her entire library to defend her though.
She's got the receipts.
Grammys, album sales, concerts, streams--any way you want to look at it, she is one of the tops ever with years ahead of her.
She is FIERCE
And in spite of all that, she took on the MUSIC INDUSTRY and WON!
She stood up for herself, she didn't back down.
I man, you have to really appreciate what it takes to do that--especially as a woman. She literally changed the industry.
I won't go into trying to belittle Erika Kirk. There's no point in that. If you find something in her to aspire to, go for it.
But that doesn't make Taylor less of a person.
If you have a daughter who has the character of Taylor--the generosity, the kindness, and the ferocity to stand up for herself against a titan and WIN, then you have one hell of a daughter, even if she never sells an album.
If you need to drag someone down to lift someone up, that says more about you than either of them.
GUDEA found that many posts linking Taylor Swift and ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ to pro-Trump views and nazism came from a tiny cluster of bot-like accounts, Rolling Stone reports.
Many claims originated on alt-right forums, like 4chan, before migrating to bigger social media apps.
🎥| Travis shares that Taylor’s album, “The Life of a Showgirl” is his number one album while Jason shares it was his number two album on his Spotify wrapped🙂
I get why this is a thing bc the vibe during this time was absolutely unmatched, miss it all the time. Cafes were still cozy, nightlife was fun and mostly wholesome, going to the mall to hang out and shop with ur friends was a great time, social media and dating apps hadn’t taken over human interactions, I hadn’t even owned my first smart phone yet in 2012. We were unselfconscious and free in a way gen z has never been.
This was the last moment in time anyone can remember before everything in life started to be recorded and uploaded as “content.” It was the last time we were just people without constantly curating a digital avatar.
4 days ... 🌿 we're just living for the hope of it all. 🧂💨
celebrate folklore, along with all of Taylor’s eras, on December 12 with the premiere of “The End of an Era” 6-episode docuseries and “Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The Final Show" on @DisneyPlus.
everything is being made worse and worse on purpose to crush our souls and make us give up i am going to love things more and believe more firmly that a better future is not only possible but inevitable and do whatever small things i can to manifest it instead because fuck you
getting ready for trying to ignore three weeks of dumb discourses on here and weirdos analyzing every single word taylor said and every single face expression she did in the docu
