An update on IsTayOnTumblr

Hi hi!

@strangelookonhisface and I have had an amazing time running IsTayOnTumblr, but the time has come to shut it down.

If you've checked the site recently you've probably noticed that it's broken. Tumblr changed their API, and Heroku (the hosting platform) has changed as well, and it would require more work to fix than I have time for.

I had a lot of fun making the site, coming up with fun "Taylor's not online" phrases, and it even helped me get a software engineering job!

The code will still be available on Github, for those of you that are curious how it worked.

Thank you to everyone who's supported the site via Patreon over the years, it meant so much to me! <3

ALL three and a half hours of Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour (My Version), including “cardigan” and FOUR new acoustic songs, are now YOURS to stream anytime you want on Disney+!

One of my favorite parts of directing music videos is the daydream/prep phase: writing up a treatment, a shot list, and working with an animator to storyboard it out ahead of time. Thanks to illustrator Vincent Lucido, we can check off our shots as we go. Here’s a video showing the before and after of the willow video 🧙🏻‍♀️🔮🎶

Erin absolutely loved taylors music as well as Elton johns. She even had a tattoo dedicated to love story with the lyrics “don’t be afraid we’ll make it out of this mess”.

She had tickets to see you in Brisbane next week on the 6th of November but instead her funeral will be taking place. Erin had been counting down the days till her show and her and I would often talk about surprise songs or even just how excited she was to see you even though her seats weren’t that great

on Friday the heavens opened and as you know it rained the WHOLE show in Sydney including (and especially) during love story. I had found out moments before about her passing and so for that to happen it really felt like she was there with me.

Erin unfortunately never had the chance to meet @taylorswift and I know that it was always her dream to show Taylor her tattoo. She was just 21 years old and was taken way too soon and so I guess I’m writting this post in hopes Taylor might see it and somehow know who Erin is and for that to take care of one of her last wishes 💗 @taylornation

it’s almost erin’s birthday and she would’ve been 22 (singing 22 at the top of her lungs i just know it) it would mean the world if you saw this @taylorswift

today is erin’s 22 birthday, although she’ll forever be 21. I know she’s up there blasting that song like she promised she’d do the year she turned 22. please keep her family in your thoughts today. I love you erin, hope you’re at peace wherever you are.

still really hoping you’ll see this @taylorswift 😔

hi @taylorswift i don’t know if you’ve ever seen this post but november 2nd marks a whole year since erin has been gone. I feel like since then i’ve let her down but not having you see this post and see the beautiful lyrics she had tattooed on her body. This time last year erin was so excited to finally see you in brisbane, she was counting down the days however she never made it to your show. I know you see so many posts on your dash and you might scroll past this, but i made a promise to erin’s brother that I would do anything to get you to see this post, and know erin, so I hope this somehow reaches you. I love you, thankyou for making erin happy during her time here on earth.

hey @taylorswift still don’t know if you’ve seen this but Erin would’ve been 23 today, i know she’s been blasting lover louder than anyone else here on earth 💗
