Tate McRae covering Taylor Swift's “New Romantics” during soundcheck today in Bangkok, Thailand!

(November 2, 2024)

Florence + Taylor

Two kings

Ruling the kingdom tonight (again)

🩷💜💙

We gotcha Taylor 🫶🫶🫶

Call the amateurs

Cut 'em from the team

Ditch the clowns, get the crown

Step into the daylight

And let it go

Let it go

« the real story unfolds not in the boom, but in the sigh, the slow unraveling like a magician's silk, frayed thread by thread »

The only split I may comment on is the split in the narrative. Be astute and discerning; look beyond the glitter and smoke. The real magic, you see, isn't in the grand vanishings or levitating doves. It's in the whispers, the cracks in the veneer, the clues you might miss while your eyes chase the spotlight.

Be wary of distraction, yearn not just for the grand ta-da, but heed the hushed murmurs that precede it. The real story unfolds not in the boom, but in the sigh, the slow unraveling like a magician's silk, frayed thread by thread.

Don't let the flourish of anticipation blind you to the tiny tears in the fabric. The marked card, the hidden trapdoor; they exist not just in illusions on stage, but in the lives we live. Watch for the chipped edges of smiles, the flicker of doubt in familiar eyes, the whispers that dance on the periphery of laughter.

For cracks, like secrets, have a way of widening in the shadows, unnoticed until the light shifts, revealing the chasm you never saw coming. Don't be the audience applauding the levitation, oblivious to the floorboards creaking beneath your feet. The true magic, the poignant truth, lies in the descent, not the ascent.

So heed the sighs, the silences, the subtle shifts in tone. The real drama, the heartbreaking beauty of it all, unfolds not in a grand finale, but in the quiet unraveling. The magician's greatest illusion is the one you choose not to see. So keep your eyes peeled, friends, for the real story, the one whispered between the lines, is the one that truly leaves you breathless.

“birds of a feather we should stick together”

and pinned the tickets on my bedroom door

(which is kind of stupid come to think of it now)

(if you don’t want your parents to find out somehow)

didn’t allow me to go and see placebo

went to muse without telling

THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT | TS The Eras Tour Setlist

Go to THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT | TS The Eras Tour Setlist.

Phoebe Bridgers after months of radio silence - curious timing to come back to our planet Phoebe. Cool tracklist.

They had me at: "I'm calling you a car" 😂😂😂

This is too good to be true..

OH. MY. GOD. Gracie just posted this song on her stories and it mentions a volcano erupting and stars falling (supernova/death of a star karma eras tour visuals). I think we’re right abt Sept 28. I think it’s happening 😶

the queering of taylor swift

“not only does a queer reading of folklore further validate all the earlier queer readings of many of swift’s other songs, it also opens up possibilities for more nuanced, equally rewarding readings of swift’s songs”

Coney Island

The question pounds my head

"What's a lifetime of achievement?"

If I pushed you to the edge

But you were too polite to leave me

And do you miss the rogue

Who coaxed you into paradise and left you there?

Will you forgive my soul

When you're too wise to trust me and too old to care?

'Cause we were like the mall before the Internet

It was the one place to be

The mischief, the gift wrapped suburban dreams

Sorry for not winning you an arcade ring

And I'm sitting on a bench in Coney Island

wondering where did my baby go?

———

Coney Island Baby

And the straightest dude I ever knew

was standing right for me, all the time

So I had to play football for the coach

And I wanted to play football for the coach

When you're all alone and lonely

In your midnight hour

And you find that your soul

It has been up for sale

And you're getting to think about

All the things that you done

And you're getting to hate

Just about everything

But remember the princess who lived on the hill

Who loved you even though she knew you was wrong

And right now she just might come shining through

And the

Glory of love

Glory of love

Glory of love, just might come through
