folklore

taylor swift sending cardigans to her friends is the cutest thing ever

i saw this on insta and just had to bring it to tumblr

REMEMBER WHEN I PULLED UP AND SAID ‘GET IN THE CAR’ AND I CRIED LIKE A BABY COMING HOME FROM THE BAR AND THEN CANCELED MY PLANS JUST IN CASE YOUD CALL, BACK WHEN I WAS LIVING FOR THE HOPE OF IT ALL SAID IM FINE BUT IT WASNT TRUE I DONT WANNA KEEP SECRETS JUST TO KEEP YOU AND I SCREAMED FOR WHATEVER ITS WORTH I LOVE YOU AINT THAT THE WORST THING YOU EVER HEARD 

i can’t stop thinking about mirrorball and how it relates to what taylor said in miss americana about the pressure to reinvent and to be new and to be young and to be fresh and to be challenging, but without becoming a spectacle - and then about how she saves the real tricks and the real show for the person she loves, who was there when they closed up the circus and when no one’s watching, and she’s still shining

without your past,

you could never have arrived-

so wondrously and brutally,

By design or some violent, exquisite happenstance

...here.

here’s a new quiz that i spent far too much time on: which trio of songs off folklore are you? put your results in the tag, i wanna see what y’all get!

Even Tango was in shock with how good Cardigan was as well as the fact that I made him a sweater from the video.

and they said...

Most of the things I had planned this summer didn’t end up happening, but there is something I hadn’t planned on that DID happen. And that thing is my 8th studio album, folklore. Surprise 🤗Tonight at midnight I’ll be releasing my entire brand new album of songs I’ve poured all of my whims, dreams, fears, and musings into. I wrote and recorded this music in isolation but got to collaborate with some musical heroes of mine; Aaron Dessner (who has co-written or produced 11 of the 16 songs), Bon Iver (who co-wrote and was kind enough to sing on one with me), William Bowery (who co-wrote two with me) and Jack Antonoff (who is basically musical family at this point). Engineered by Laura Sisk and Jon Low, mixed by Serban Ghenea & Jon Low. The album photos were shot by the amazing Beth Garrabrant. Before this year I probably would’ve overthought when to release this music at the ‘perfect’ time, but the times we’re living in keep reminding me that nothing is guaranteed. My gut is telling me that if you make something you love, you should just put it out into the world. That’s the side of uncertainty I can get on board with. Love you guys so much ♥️

i think that “i’m doing good i’m on some new shit” is my favorite way any album has ever been opened
