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.
sure, we could all focus on analyzing taylor’s work through the lens of queer history, but, why stop at analyzing history? ☺️ why not make it?
the one night i go to bed during the show she plays would’ve, could’ve, should’ve and mine 😭
Best.Weekend.Ever. ❤️😁🇺🇸❤️
😘💪🏼
God!!! 🙈 I'm still trying to figure out how Taylor managed to once again get away with such a blatant Karlie reference. 😝

It’s only been two shows but there’s something about Taylor that stood out to me watching her perform. Like she is visibly at peace and confident in who she is and her agency as an artist and the ability for her to command a room or stadium of 70,000 people… she’s an enigma.
I think there’s an obvious knowingness when you look at her that she is at peace in her life away from the public eye and that carries over into her persona on stage. But still, they’re two separate things.
I’m just really happy for her and proud of her.
