The best part about months ending are those girls who do massive end-of-month photo dumps on instagram. Like yes girlie! Share that slice of life! Love to see how you're doing!

i think BOTH “i’m only listening to the tv’s” and “i’m only listening to the originals” people are wrong. ALL TAYLOR SWIFT MUSIC FOREVER

[dreaminginsteadofsleeping42]

That's a real fucking legacy... to leave

[dreaminginsteadofsleeping42]

If I had a nickel for every time someone I considered a really good friend visited the very town I live in and I only find out after the fact through an instagram post, I'd only have two nickels, but owww, damn it.

"The rerecordings were for nothing" That's When, Don't You, Electric Touch, Foolish One, Forever Winter, Nothing New, Slut!, and Suburban Legends, get behind me.

For legal reasons, this is not a theorizing / easter egg post, this is a things that confuse my brain post: why in her celebratory photo is Taylor holding the standard edition cover of each album EXCEPT Fearless?

i’m really glad taylor didn’t give in to public pressure to finish all the rerecords and followed her creative instincts whenever she was inspired to make new music. she didn’t approach it as something she wanted to get over with and it paid off in spades. all the effort she put into perfecting each album and giving them their own moment while also furthering her legacy is what made this whole thing possible

The girls who get why rep tv was impossible to record, get it

Wearing my "in my eras era" shirt my mum and sister got me to work today!

When debut comes out, it won't have to be called Taylor Swift (Taylor's Version) anymore. It will likely end up being called Taylor Swift (20 Year Anniversary Version)

To all the people saying the rerecords were a waste of time...girl. First of all, they gave us the ten minute version of All Too Well, which should end the discussion in itself, but wait: there's more! Not only the musical content of the vaults, but the way they (and releasing evermore after folklore as well) directly inspired Taylor to share the 3AM Midnights tracks and the full anthology of ttpd. And Midnights, itself. The concept of looking back at 13 sleepless midnights across your life...What better to prompt that line of thinking than recreating your life's work about your life? Not to mention the short film, which led to Taylor's deciding to write a screenplay for a film. The rerecords have literally provided us with art we haven't even seen yet. Not to mention the enjoyment listening to them in themselves granted. So if they were a waste of time...ha!

I remember in March 2023 hoping Taylor had already managed to rerecord a lot of reputation because...ow. I'm sad to hear she did struggle with it, at least a bit, and I'm glad she doesn't have to rerecord it anymore.

Debut possibly getting a rerelease for her 20th anniversary but coming out as a present and an ode to Taylor and a celebration of her career instead of being released as a sad legal loophole is sooooo. omg. 🥺🥹

It's so strange to me seeing people say they haven't heard the original versions of ts1-6 in years because they've been sitting safe and listened to in my ancient itunes library and cd collection. Sometimes being a tech grandma works.

Damn what a way to close out the Eras chapter. The whole of Eras was about reclaiming and celebrating her past, and bringing us into it. It was honoring and cementing her legacy. So for its conclusion to be her taking full ownership of everything that came before, while gently pointing us in the direction of the not so distant future, just feels so incredibly right.

I'm so proud and impressed by how smart Taylor was every step of the way buying her masters. Decreasing the value of the originals with her versions, then using the profits from her versions to buy them back at a lower price. The marketing genius and cultural influence of the simple phrase "Taylor's Version." The incentive for more casual listeners to buy her versions with the new material from the Vault. The commercialization of her albums constituting distinct eras, and the following eras tour - which also significantly lined her pockets for the purchase! Holding onto her version of debut so that it can turn into a 20th anniversary celebration release (should she wish). Shoutout to your good ideas and power moves, @taylorswift
