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

“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 😭

being 15 is normal but being born in 2010 is not hope this helps

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.

it's just that when i love something, i love it loud and i love it long. i've never figured out the halfway of it - when i hold something, i let it scar me.

re: ts12 - i’m just so fucking excited to hear about her from a strong perspective. like yes, there will be emotional depth, but she’s overcome the shit she used to struggle with. her life is so full and complete in every way rn (not just travis). she’s not being bogged down and continuously thinking of her trauma because she can’t escape a melancholy partner who couldn’t pretend to care about her. she’s so herself, and has just completely grown into her power from eras and everything else, and it’ll be so fun to hear that come across in the record too.

thinking about this comment and reply under amos' eras post

agreed! the fact that i saw some fans getting upset about the possibility of ts12 because she’s “dragging along the re-records”. she’s not dragging anything, she’s always been the one with the plan as to when they should come out, fans are the ones dragging it

NO EXACTLY. i’m sorry that you made up a schedule in your head or decided she would be finished with them by the time she was finished with eras but she actually can see the bigger picture and knows more about her career and personal plans than we do

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
