Taylor Swift Gives Bonuses Totaling Over $55 Million to Every Person Working on Massive Eras Tour

As she gears up to perform six sold-out shows in Los Angeles, Taylor Swift recently gave out bonuses to her entire Eras Tour crew totaling o

This is amazing and incredibly generous of her, and well earned for her hardworking band, dancers and crew who make each show possible!

Y’all I’m dying!!!

She really just said “I’m going to infuse my emotions into these characters. Pfft let’s be honest.” Before performing betty

I am loving every second of this tour lol

Ah, so this whole cabin thing is a THING with them. ;)

*thinks about the cabin in the Never Grow Up lyric video*

(And that’s just the most recent one.)

god i still can’t get over how she’s wearing the vsfs ring during this clip

Taylor Swift really said “oh, this private life you’ve been watching? Yeah, its never not a performance from inside my fish bowl!” when she blew this popsicle stand.

“The only way for me to disappear (even while in said endless fishbowl that my life has become) is for me to envelop myself in this lavender haze.”

(Which she tells us is synonymous with her melancholia… so, sometimes that haze can loom over her as persistent sadness and ill-founded fears…)

But Taylor has been telling us that despite the sadness, fear, and sense of doom that comes with it, being with her star-crossed lover is the only shade of blue for her.

And gang, she recently framed this singular blue for us. It’s a “midnight blue,” according to Taylor.

Everyone lost their minds after she said the glitter puke and blood in the “Anti-hero” music video is “midnight blue,” but it wasn’t exactly just gaslighting.

It’s Taylor meditating on a theme in her life and art—a blue, a sadness,a melancholia that she feels most deeply in the dead of night, lying awake wondering about love, life, and who she is.

It’s also a blue in which she is submerged, in a fishbowl, in a haze, that is the only thing she really believes in despite the big hoax surrounding her (the idea that her lover’s love is faithless being the “Hoax”).

It’s the “true blue” of someone who knows her for her, is loyal, and dives into this life with her despite it all.

It’s the true blue she bleeds and the true blue that pours out when she spills her guts or the walls come down.

And it’s lavender.

Taylor performing dorothea as the surprise song on piano during night 2 in Kansas City Missouri 💜🤎💜

She messed up the “dorothea” after “if you’re ever tired and being known for who you know you know you’ll always know me.”

This was all I could think of when I saw Taylor in Seattle and Applause was literally one of the last songs to play before she started. 🙈

I also woke up to rewatching and finding new layers. Last night I thought it was pretty boring. Among other things, I’m intrigued by the idea that this coder girl seemed to be the villain. Her jailer. But then we find she’s the mastermind back in the van directing the escape.

That’s an interesting thought! She wasn’t the villain in the video but you mean all the years people suddenly came to this conclusion and hung on to it, and all the while she’s in the shadows (van) helping guide Taylor through it all. I think the use of ‘coder girl’ is very loud.
