Hey TN!! Just wanted to share this Facebook post with you. It’s the owners of the drive in your team used for the TIMT lyric video. They were surprised to see their drive in on YouTube without hearing from you. They would really appreciate a phone call! Hope you guys can make this right. ❤️ @taylornation

thinking about the lyric “one single thread of gold tied me to you” in invisible string and the trail of golden light and sparkles that was tied to the note taylor got in the delicate music video that led her to the dive bar where she met with him..... her mind

“The only thing she said to me initially was that she didn’t want me to worry about anything that she’d done before and that I should just be myself — just inhabit the emotional space that you’re feeling or your musical and emotional space. And so I really didn’t endeavor to become Max Martin or whoever. I was just sort of being myself. And so was she. I think she’s incredibly versatile, obviously. A lot of these songs, they sound to me as though she could have been doing this all along in her career, this kind of sound or something. It’s not at all unnatural. In fact, it sounds incredible. This is all complete. It’s finished. It feels produced, but I think it will feel fairly organic or raw compared to past things. At some point, Taylor did articulate her vision for folklore. Other songs came after that. I was very inspired by her and what she’d been writing, and then I wrote more music, and she responded to that. We just started to push ahead…She’s just an absolutely brilliant artist. Allowing her to flourish like that, there was no pressure. She wasn’t trying to make something for anyone else except for herself in this time. I don’t think even her label knew. We were just working. That’s maybe the liberating. When you put something in the pipeline of the music industry and it takes months of prep — not to take anything away from that because it’s important, especially if you’re coming up and you don’t have an audience. But once you do, I think it’s nice to play around the form of it. The world is a different place right now, and nobody really knows. All the rules are being rewritten. Live music is not happening. And in a way, it’s nice to make something and just put it out because people are stuck at home and being able to hear something. This will be a really positive gift for her fans.”

Melanie Nyema: When I say I love this woman, I don’t think that does the truth even the remotest justice. When I say this record is the stunningly evocative, gorgeously transportive, conceptually brilliant, aurally satisfying, lyrically astonishing, powerfully feminist piece of art I absolutely NEEDED today - I still think my description falls short. If anyone needs me for a while, I’ll just be over here in my headphones.

I’m having a break down over The Last Great American Dynasty!!! Taylor tells the story of Rebekah Harkness and all the trouble she caused in Watch Hill Rhode Island with her insane parties, feuds with neighbors and her general debauchery that was the talk of the town. And then she died and Holiday House sat quietly for 50 years, “free of women with madness, their men and bad habits” AND THEN Taylor has the audacity to say “And then it was bought by me // I had a marvelous time ruining everything” because Taylor was know for her crazy parties there and her “men and bad habits” and we know there were tabloids publishing stories of her fighting with people in town. I REALLY underestimated this song upon first listen. Holy SHIT.

taylor choosing a genre that emphasizes the clarity of her voice and the absolute unstoppable power of her songwriting skills to deliver an album almost entirely about the experience of growing up / finding love / losing love as a gay woman….. hello….
