ppl love to talk about swifties "turning on" joe after he and taylor broke up but that's not shocking to me at all...fandoms will do that when their fave breaks up with whoever they're dating lmao. I am more interested in the fact that a ton of swifties seemed to start liking joe MORE after they broke up and that the ones who started liking him tended to be ppl who disliked/were neutral about him when they were actually dating. imagine if after taylor and calvin broke up a bunch of swifties started calling him a poor meow meow and saying everyone needed to stop calling him "calcium harvest" bc it's really rude.
I think people on here make judgements far too quickly on new art. let it sink in, let it breathe! not everything is immediately gonna tick all of your boxes, nor should it. that doesn’t mean there’s nothing worthwhile there
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
also imagine thanking a man for being so horrible that he’s the reason she felt all these awful emotions that turned into these songs like as great as the album is and probably my fav of hers u will never catch me thanking an emotionally abusive man who has a pattern of treating women like shit
yeah like i'm sorry but ttpd is my favorite album of all time and it's not because of the men who caused her to feel those things (they can rot in hell) it's because SHE distilled core womanhood musically in a way that spoke to my soul
Sorry I hate the narrative that being a Swiftie is a curse or just something that happened. I love loving Taylor Swift and I actively choose to listen to her music and connect with people in the fandom because it makes me happy.
“we do it because people need an escape from how brutal life can be, and it is the honor of a lifetime to be that for them, if only for a night” has me so emotional. this tour has been the best, most magical escape for so many of us over the last two years, and i hope she knows that we feel ridiculously lucky to have experienced it, whether that was in person or via livestreams.
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you.
“Look at you, worrying so much about things you can’t change. You’ll spend your whole life singing the blues if you keep thinking that way”
“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 😭
