If You Put A *pew Pew* To My Head Right Now, I Would Not Be Able To Tell You Taylor And Travis’ Couple

Happy Birthday to our favorite girl! I hope you have a year filled with love, prosperity, peace and clarity. You bring so much love and light to the world through your art and by simply being you! We love you so much — forevermore!✨

Taylor Swift thinking she can just disappear for 7 months and then drop an album announcement at the end of a random awards show we weren't even convinced she was going to be at

THERE.

FIXED. IT.

ISN'T. THAT. BETTER.

I’m really happy for Taylor. But I’m increasingly feeling like she’s chosen the closet life for the near future, or even long term. Same for Karlie. Whether or not they are together (which has honestly become irrelevant lately). Her giving Joe a shoutout at this career defining history making moment is really a bit much. (Just objectively speaking. It doesn’t bother me personally). And Aaron’s IG post giving him this much credit is agenda-y. Because I think there is no way Toe is a real couple or he somehow is a genius songwriter, Aaron must have done it to protect/help Taylor. But why is he trying so hard to help her secure her closet? Maybe she realized coming out isn’t worth it, because she loves making music in her current state (massive fans, focus on the music and not her personal life) so much and doesn’t want to risk it being taken away? At this point, I don’t think lying about her rs even bothers her that much. Because that’s a way for her to protect her real life with loved ones. What’s a 5 sec shoutout compared to living in peace? Just very disturbing to us fans. Tho.

I was shocked by the Joe mention at such an important moment, but she also backed herself into a corner by insisting on the WB thing. She’s also shared her an award win speech with CH before - another bearding travesty. It’s not unprecedented, just weird.

The aggressive bearding gives her more privacy, less salacious headlines, and maybe most importantly, obscures her work/life for everyone.

It used to be that we could listen to her album and have an idea of what was going on, knowing she’d written it relatively recently and given her history of aligning her work with her life. Starting with folklore, she’s given lyrics that conflict with her public persona big-time. She’s setting fans up for the idea that you can never tell the real story because she can write from any perspective at any time. Plausible deniability. It’s honestly brilliant and it’s why I really struggle to interpret her folklore-evermore.

I get it. I’m just sad because I’m tired of the asterisks on all her accomplishments. 

Look at how the damn headline for HER MAJOR, MAJOR, MAJOR WIN and the highlighted portion of her speech are about her fake boyfriend.

They made it about a man that is not even involved. It’s really fucking lame.

Please compare this to Beyonce’s headline by the same publication:

The injustice of it all??????

if you’re reading this

a lump sum of money is on the way to you

Does the sparkle of 1989 TV’s release feel dimmed for anyone else?

I have been day dreaming about it for so long! I think once it’s out I will get my excitement back. But the overexposure has gotten to me.

I just saw this comment on fb. Hmmmm, I don't think TS will do that given the fact that she's highly suspicious that everyone who'll see London Boy will want him because he's got a big fucking reputation, he's so gorgeous that she can't say anything to his face, and also fit like a daydream.

Never did I imagine reflecting on all my childhood trauma so wistfully, but folklore did that. Miss Taylor’s glorious songwriting and beautiful melodies summons your most repressed gut-wrenching memories and compels you to confront them gently and lovingly. Folklore is a soul stirring otherworldly experience for those lost and searching. Past two days, I cried, smiled, cried, laughed, & cried some more. I hope she knows that her deeply personal cathartic art serves as a lifeline for so many 🌲✨

Oh wow. I couldn’t have said it better myself. I’ve been trying to find these words for the past 4 days. Spitting it out in bits in pieces as I process. This album is an accumulation of her life experiences from childhood to now. Revisiting her fears and feeling the pain, accepting everything that went wrong, and allowing herself time to process and heal. Coming to terms with who she is. “If you never bleed you’re never gonna grow”. I feel it’s the rawest she’s been. 

Reblogging this cause it's my freaking birth monthhhh!!!! Yay!!!! #AugustSupremacy #080398

’Cause you were never mine
