Sokka, peeling a banana: may I take your jacket sir lol

Zuko: do you think other people can’t hear you?

taylor swift really wrote two albums for the hopeful romantics, the dark academics, the yearning lovers and the quiet souls of the world

evermore by taylor swift (released december 11, 2020)

willow — TAYLOR SWIFT

aarondessner : It’s only been 5 months since folklore was released. But truth be told @taylorswift and I never actually stopped exchanging ideas and somehow we've finished a sister record called evermore that I love just as much. These songs are wilder and freeer, sometimes in strange time signatures and darker hues, but very much a continuation of what we started with folklore. I can't begin to express my gratitude and respect for Taylor -- I never cease to wonder at her seemingly boundless talent as a singer and a songwriter and storyteller. It’s been the experience of a lifetime to work so fast and furiously with her. As with folklore, @jackantonoff, @blobtower and William Bowery all contributed brilliant ideas and songwriting — the same alchemy and teamwork continued.

This time my brother @brycedessner contributed much more as well— helping write and produce Coney Island and orchestrating the entire record. I’ve never done anything creatively of any value without Bryce helping to elevate it, as he does here again. As important, Jon low, has been my brother in all of this work too -- I could never have conceived of this without him by my side every step of the way. And Justin, who has taught me so much, is here again too, lending his insane talents to many songs.

If that wasn’t enough, my bandmates in @thenational , Matt, Bryan and Scott along with Bryce, are here too. We learned to write songs and make records together. Hearing Matt sing with Taylor and the entire band perform on Coney Island — things have come full circle.

And there are so many other friends who have made very significant contributions to this record (more later in them later)

@asoppsfables, @lanzprojects, @beejburton, @postmoderndrummer, @carm_band, @claricejensen, @dnelnelson, @starbuckcello, @900x, @jasontreuting, @kaufyismynamo, @jt_bates_, @kresnick, @steelecoale, @marcusmumford, @greengloves777, @nxlloyd, #RyanOlson, @distantstation, @stuartbogie, @tingalayo, @t.r.e.v.r, @kiyukiyukiyuki, @gregcalbi, @fallonesteven, @sterlingsound, @sharp_stick, @robinbayntonmusic @haimtheband

Also thank you to everyone #13Management and @straightxnarrow

Taylor Swift’s ninth studio album ‘evermore’ will be released on December 11, 2020.

taylor swift finally doing her murder country song is everything I needed this year 

This album really has me saying “there’s a lot to unpack here” like I’m some kind of English teacher

me at the end of every song:

Cardigan || Willow 2020, Dir. Taylor Swift

track five;

Wait for the signal, and I’ll meet you after dark Show me the places where others gave you scars

Taylor Swift — Willow (2020)

so evermore came out five months after folklore came out..... as in... five holes in a fence... i knew we were right all along

evermore // first and last lyric
