The Eras on Tour - Then & Now
not to sound like a medieval peasant or a catholic but i resent anti-carb propaganda so much like bread will never be evil it is holy it is divine it is one of life’s most simple yet decadent pleasures. love is stored in the bread
You didn't think you'd get through today, did you?
Well, you did - I'm proud of you!
By the way, to teenagers: Adults going "aren't you like 12" when you could not be more clearly and obviously sixteen isn't them being hyperbolic or deliberately rude. Well okay, maybe just a little bit, but not by much. But once you get to like your mid-20s, everyone under the age of eighteen just looks twelve. That's someone's kid, why is there an unattended child here.
This also applies to adults who are trying to date you. Bear this in mind. You might be mature for your age, but a grown fucking adult telling you "you're so mature for your age I forget you aren't like 20" is lying to you. They're not attracted to you despite of your age. They just spotted an unattended child.
my face while taylor sings about everlasting heartbreak, infidelity, divorce, and murder
something about taylor swift being called a serial dater and slut for the first 10 years of her career and now her being in a life long committed relationship while choosing to whore it up with a lap dance and garter every night on stage…. love to see it
taylor's lower range my beloved
false god stans pls reblog this post i need a head count to prove to all the false god haters that it’s a good song 😡
daily reminder don’t blame me for what you made me do
you knew it still hurts underneath my scars from when they pulled me apart, but what you did was just as dark
not to brag but I was a vigilante shit and karma lover before the eras tour
there is no such thing as being "behind in life" but it's okay to recognise that you missed out on some things whilst you were busy surviving
#17 - call it what you want
Labyrinth is so unvarnished it's almost too much for me, like Delicate has the protection of "you can't promise me anything right" and Cruel Summer is all fun and games till your crying in the car, but Labyrinth is one of her most vulnerable songs and the lack of a bridge is even more telling
I REALLY cannot get over the vulnerability in “you know how scared I am of elevators / never trust it if it rises fast / it can’t last” because it reflects on both her fears of rising too fast and flaming out in the music industry (and she’s obviously felt that fear for a long time; we can see it when we look at RED TV, most specifically Nothing New) and also her fear of romantic relationships that are intense but brief and end badly. And then “I thought the plane was going down, how’d you turn it right around?” - like when a plane is crashing you’re afraid that you are going to die!!!!! She was so scared and uncertain that she felt like her world was ending! That’s extremely dark shit!! But love saved her!!! And I don’t mean that in a way where I think Taylor needed Joe to fix all her problems, I mean that the power of someone falling in love with her as she was, with all her messes and mistakes and human tendencies, finally helped her realize that she is worthy of love and there are people out there (besides just Joe) that would still care about her no matter what happened in her career or the press. Being truly loved by someone else is transformative - it doesn’t have to be romantic love, but in Taylor’s case it was - and that’s what I really think the song is about at the end of the day. You can have ten million fears and be scared to death, but true love can lead you out of the labyrinth and into the sunlight. (“Because I think love is fearless.”)
