Speech before singing Mine (talking about Speak Now)
I talk a lot about how folklore was the first time I was writing about characters and stuff, but actually Speak Now I was inventing scenarios that definitely weren't happening in my life. I wrote this song Speak Now about interrupting a wedding of an ex and like.. I was 18 when I wrote that. None of my exes were getting married. I never interrupted a wedding, it was just a fantasy. And I think that's one of my favorite things about Speak Now, it was so fantasy, it was so fantastical, I think it was the first time I was thinking in cinematic, you know 'this isn't my life', but what if it were? Like watching a movie, and trying to write what those characters might be feeling. I say this because I wanna play a song, that when I wrote it I was writing about all these relationship things that haven't happened to me. There's drawer of my things at your place, and thing like that. And working through fights and not just breaking up. Anyway, so those were things I was not par-taking in at 18 and 19, when I wrote these songs. It's been such a privilege and such a treat to go back and re-record them 'cause relating to them now.. it's really crazy to go back and listen to these songs that at the time were a fantasy but now feel really relatable to me. And um... this is called MINE.
This is good news but I can't help but be pessimistic. What are the chances she gets a new beard?
Who knows. She has an easy excuse to be single. Free after six years and busy on tour.
But I get your concern because we went from CH to Tom in a matter of days.
🎶 I swear she’s destined for the screen, the closet thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you’ve ever seen 🎶

🎶 Your eyes are flying saucers from another planet, now I’m All For You like Janet, can this be a real thing? Can it? 🎶
yes! acceptance is key...
I understand Taylor wanting to have their second child close to their first. That’s valid, and the biological clock is a real thing. What I don’t understand is why she didn’t get real with us and warn us it was coming. Then we could make our decisions whether or not to stick around for the next two years, ten years, forever closet … whatever the new plan is supposed to be.
She’s always so careful to keep us hanging on just a little while longer. Why not fucking level with us, for once? Yes, we’re all adults and she doesn’t owe us a coming out. That doesn’t mean it’s fun to be attacked by the rest of her fans and subjected to constant homophobia from them, which she KNOWS flares up when the antis get a “win” like this. All she had to do was give us a heads up so we could prepare ourselves, or be honest about her plans and let us tap out if we need to.Â
And no, singing Coney Island the week The National drop a new album doesn’t count as a warning.Â
I’m tired.Â
Don’t let go🥹

... Truman Show continued
After a moment of reflection, Truman utters his catchphrase: "In case I don't see you... good afternoon, good evening, and good night", bows to his audience and exits. The viewers celebrate his escape, and Sylvia races to greet him.
Taylor is being loud. Wow. She is really burning her artificial life down.
as another reddit user said,
“I wrote about moving to the loudest and brightest city in the world, the city I had always been overwhelmed by… until now. I think you have to know who you are and what you want in order to take on New York and all its blaring truth. I wrote about the thrill I got when I finally learned that love, to some extent, is just a game of cat and mouse.” - Taylor Swift (1989 album liner notes)
One of the loudest things to me is how in Paper Rings (a song about wanting to marry someone), Taylor referred back to a line in her 2014 1989 album notes where she says she learned that love is just a game of cat and mouse. Lover came out a whole 5 years later….. like hello?
the birds eye view shot on the screen here was so…
So this foot kept me up at night...
so I did some digging...
and
and is this..
Taylor keeps using the word WILD a lot
So I was thinking which song had that word and I remember PEACE
And look what that line is
Give you my wild, give you a child
Like what the hell
