“i heard so many people say that the eras tour felt like a safe space. a place for radical girlhood, boyhood or personhood and unapologetic joy. […] my hope is that you won’t let that behavior end with the end of the eras tour. it doesn’t have to be the end of an era of joy and acceptance. my hope is that you find ways to create these spaces around you in your daily life, your school, your job. that would be a real legacy to leave.” oh i’m a puddle of tears 😭

“we judged ttpd too quickly!” “ttpd was sooo underrated when it came out!!” “ttpd really grew on me” skill issue. i knew ttpd was a top tier album by 12:01 AM on april 19 2024 so don’t assume that your inability to recognize greatness is universal
Taylor Swift, I Look in People's Windows
sometimes i think about how terrifyingly easy it would’ve been for her to completely give up on herself and let all that grief and anger and uncertainty consume her. but she showed up for herself consistently, whether she wanted to or not, no matter how hard it was, and look where it got her in the end. i hope she’s damn proud of the way she kept going and pulled herself back out again
me too, so much
i know we’re both just messing around pretending to be whole but look at me. if the train was coming would you move. if the ground was falling from under your feet would you even notice or would it just be another tuesday for you. if somebody stabbed you could it hurt worse than you already do. what i’m saying is that i love you but i think we both drive over the speed limit when it’s raining. what i’m saying is that i want to hold your hand and i understand about how you sometimes have to sit down in the shower. what i’m saying is that i’m here for you and if the train comes please move.
i couldn’t care less that taylor isn’t a vocal powerhouse because her voice feels like home to me. it feels like a soft warm blanket or a hug from your mom or the bed in your childhood room. it’s beautiful and earnest and unbridled and uniquely her and i wouldn’t trade it for the world
evermore is such an insane album when you really think about it. like. love isn't forever. friendship isn't forever. trust isn't forever. family isn't forever. even a marriage isn't forever. but then she ends on evermore (song) and it's like: you know what else isn't forever? pain. suffering. heartache. she just flips the script of the entire album on the LAST SONG and cements the complexity of its core message in 5 minutes. and i'm supposed to be normal about that
"You should find another guiding light, but I shine so bright" is insane and hurts a lot if I think about that lyric for more than 2 seconds
