you guys JULYTHIRTEEN.COM turned into a survey about taylor and stuff. I cant screen shot it anymore bc I did the survey already and I cant go back. I guess you only do it one time. Go check it out!

Is it a local troll???

The trick to holding on

Was all that letting go 🖤

Taylor’s next move.

So I’m going to start out by saying, I saw this theory on instagram, but i don't remember who posted it. Please comment if you know who to give credit to. If we count all the rows on taylor’s instagram since the new aesthetic, we get six rows, so the seventh row might be announcing something. With the calendar theory, April 13th is coming up, so she might announce something then to make the seventh row. @taylorswift @taylornation @laurenlipman

‪Hey @taylorswift @taylornation can I be the first to know via a Secret Session?‬ Pretty please?

To be chosen as a SS’er I think is a very special thing, Taylor wanted YOU to hear the album first and wanted to tell you what some songs were about/for/her feeling. We should be happy for those who were chosen. Yes,don’t get me wrong we are jealous. But they were chosen, in a sense to represent us. And I think that is beautiful that she chose these gorgeous swifties to represent us and to share her thoughts and feelings so that afterwards (lover is released) they can share and help this gorgeous community to stay together and strong. Please, we all love and support tay so it’s alright if today you weren’t chosen. She knows her fan base is so large. And those who were chosen, help those who weren’t. Please don’t think you are above everything and everyone. We are all swifties.

WE ARE SO CLOSE YOU GUYS!!🦋💗🦋💗 ✨4.26✨

Had a job interview today! I GOT IT! Right when I got out to my car I saw Taylor’s story going to the mural ....13 minutes after it was posted! Let’s just say today is a PERFECT day! Thank you Tay for being a constant inspiration in my life..always my hero🦋

I think this is so amazing! Just adding to it - I think it’s amazing to see how she’s impacted so many different age groups with the same songs. I remember screaming her lyrics in the car with my best friend after a breakup in high school/college, rocking my newborn singing “don’t you ever grow up,” softly, turning on her music to calm my screaming baby (it was the only thing that worked), the way my kids all immediately stop what they are doing and dance when they hear “Welcome to New York” (thanks to secret life of pets), the way my 3 year old is begging for mommys bestie @taylorswift to come to her birthday, dancing with my babies to the reputation stadium tour movie on Netflix when it’s been a long day and we just need to dance it out...and so much more. I’m just a few months younger than @taylorswift and she’s impacted my life over and over and over again. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

it’s crazy to think about how taylor has brought so many friendships together, the way that we can just ‘click’ with other people who share the same favorite things. then you get to learn so much more about them from their likes to dislikes to hobbies and everything! then comes the time where you try everything to meet up with your friends because living so far away absolutely sucks, and meeting them is the absolute best! i know that for me, without taylor i would have -1748283772 friends, just another reason why i am SO grateful for taylor 💘

Itching to make my fourth trip back to Nashville. 💜

My best friend, who’s expecting her third baby, lives in Nashville and went to the mural today for her birthday!!!! 💕🦋💗 isn’t she gorgeous @taylorswift @taylornation

[tayloredreputation]

Man I felt this so hard. And I think it’s important to note you weren’t shitting on anyone and you definitely weren’t shitting on @taylorswift! You’re simply saying that when we started being fans, it wasn’t the norm to have this many platforms to interact on and celebrities at that time definitely weren’t on them interacting with fans. Well, most still aren’t! Taylor is just an angel. It’s hard to catch up. I’ve wanted a secret session for so long or to be pulled at a concert, but as you get older it gets harder to dedicate time to trying to get that. But we still do it and we do it because at the core of it, we love Taylor as an artist. If I never get noticed, if I never meet Taylor that’s ok, because she’s still changed my life and she doesn’t OWE us anything. But since she does meet fans often it’s hard not to find yourself hoping that as an older fan you get a chance. I created my accounts just this past year in the Rep era but I’ve been a fan for so long. It feels impossible to catch up. But here’s to continuing to hope she wants to spend TS7 secret sessions with other tired, almost 30 or older than 30 somethings, drinking wine and talking about our cats.

An open letter to the older Swiftie generation

Now, I must start this off by saying I deeply apologize if this comes off problematic or if iit offends the teenage generation but please know that is not my intention at all! I admire and love so many of you guys but hear me out. Hear US out.

Being in the Swiftie fandom when you’re 25 and older is exhausting. A lot of us work full time, are married, and have kids of our own. Blogging and posting and tagging multiple times a day is the equivalent of running a 5k for us.

We come home, cook dinner, throw laundry in, do dishes, help with homework (hell some of us are back in college and have our own homework) and the 5 minutes of peace we have is going on social media and checking in with @taylorswift , an artist we have grown with the last 13 years.

I know a lot of you are thinking, “Well I grew up with her too!” and please believe me when I say I know you have but it is very different.

Our growing up with her was working 4 extra shifts at the age of 20 to go to the Fearless Tour because your car payment, rent and tuition were all due the same time tickets went on sale. Some of you may know this struggle NOW as you are getting older but this is a battle many of us have been facing for a decade. A lot of us didn’t get our parents help because we were on our own.

This is not a pissing contest by any means but please hear our plea and realize how hard it is for us to have been supporting our idol alongside you and feel placed on the back burner because we physically do not have enough time to shine as well as you.

Every day we applaud our fellow Swifties as they get noticed, a dream that is only that for us. We hold onto memories of Myspace days when Taylor may have interacted with us or Taylor Connect days when your thread was wild.

We watch as the younger generation forms friendships while we look “creepy” because why is a 30 year old online anyway, ew. We watch as you gains thousands of followers due to their content and eventually get the attention of @taylorswift or @taylornation and again we applaud for you because that’s what we do. We are a team, a family, and when someone in your family succeeds, you are so happy for them.

A sadness does ever so ironically shine through though because then you are bombarded with thoughts of “How can I compete with this?”, “Will the woman who helped me overcome so many obstacles over the last 13 years ever notice me? Will I ever get to thank her for getting me through that HORRIBLE abusive relationship in 2007 when I was a mere 19 year old with no clue about life?”, “Maybe if I stay up a little later and use hashtags I can get her attention. I can be productive at work tomorrow on 5 hours of sleep and a 5 hour energy. ”

The constant “what if” and wondering is exhausting. What if we try harder? What would happen if we made a fan account? Would our peers call us crazy, obsessed, and a teenie bopper because we run a Taylor Swift fan account? Don’t they know this is the only way for us to get her attention? That we have to swallow our pride and look obsessive and crazy and immature just for a glimmer of hope that MAYBE one day our accounts with little followers and attention may shine through and grab Taylor’s attention.

Taylor and team, a lot of us wish we had the time. We wish Instagram and Tumblr were around when WE were 19 but alas here we are.

Please know we are here and there are a lot of us and we are TRYING our hardest. We have been here all along and support from a distance with hope in our eyes.

So, to my fellow older Swifties– here is too another era 🥂🥂🥂 where we may go unnoticed but we know that this isn’t what it is all about. Continue to relate to the lyrics, buy the merch and TRY because Taylor taught us to never give up and to always believe in something, not just the idea of something.

WHAT ARE THE NUMBERS!! I SEE 4,3,2,?,4 !! AND WHAT WOULD THIS MEAN! as you can tell, I'm actually going insane

‪I hope TS7 is the era that @taylorswift and @taylornation decide to invite fellow almost 30 year old 1989ers who enjoy staying home with wine and cats to the secret sessions. I feel like if Taylor is as stressed about approaching 30 as the rest of us, she needs this too. ‬
