For the Year Ahead

Happy New Year!

May you have a good year. Not the best year of your life - may that still lie ahead.

May you end this year with at least as many friends, family members, pets, and loved ones as when you began this year.

May you create at least one new amazing and unforgettable memory that you will always carry with you.

May you bring joy to at least one other person - and feel joy in return.

May you make progress toward at least one goal, dream, or ambition you have.

May you look back at this year knowing you did your best and the world was better for it.

One week after Lover came out and it’s still Bridge City around here...

@taylorswift @taylornation ...dream high in the quiet of the night...you know that I bought it...

During her VMA performance, @taylorswift once again demonstrated that she is at her best with just a great song, a guitar, her voice, and her radiant smile. No props, effects, or flashy dance moves needed. She had the whole venue in the palm of her hand while performing Lover live.

A year ago today in Nashville. During the reputation era - the dark ages when Taylor wasn’t seen in public much, didn’t do many interviews - seeing her smile light up an arena was reassuring fans that the clouds will blow away and a rainbow is about to be seen. Lover was on its way.

A year ago today, at the great gathering of Swifties at the reputation Stadium Tour show in Nashville.

Help me hold on to you

Target, all the way up to this week: Pre-order, and you can have all Lover Deluxe versions right around release day.

Target on Lover release day: we shipped slow and also split up your order. You may get some of them next Tuesday and the rest next Wednesday.

Daylight is a perfect outro for Lover, and really the summary of the album, the era, the mood. The musical arrangements here are so retro and sublime.

And the Red callbacks. And the spoken words at the very end! What a way for an album to finish! Her best work.

You are what you love.

It’s Nice To Have a Friend is...different, quaint...but not really annoying like many of the secret session attendees implied.

Not sure if the rumors were true, but happy to still hear “Hey kids! Spelling is fun!” during Me!

I’m already imagining those big percussion drums on the Lover tour stage for Afterglow. 💗

[antigravitastic]

The sax notes on False God are a pleasant and unexpected surprise. Another smoky late-night track.

[antigravitastic]

Soon You’ll Get Better is absolutely brutal. Especially the pleading “cause you have to!!” 😢 😭

I wish nobody ever had to understand that song.

London Boy - the new official tourism song of London, similar to Welcome to New York during the 1989 era. Until Brexit anyway.

Cornelia Street is so much of a nighttime city bop than I could have imagined.

Paper Rings is a Speak Now throwback af

Love the smokiness of Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince! It’s like a Lana Del Rey soundtrack to a John Hughes high school film.

Also, possibly Taylor’s best song name ever.
