Ma'am, your daughter is not okay. Her favourite trope is found family

"I love you already, you know? I don’t want to come on too strong, but I already love you. First things first, happy Pride Month, everyone! On this tour, I get to look out into the most stunningly beautiful, brilliant crowds of people who are living their authentic lives. They are loving who they want to love, they are identifying how they identify, and allies who get to support them in and celebrate them in that. It is the most beautiful experience for me to look out into crowds onto this tour, I’m looking out tonight, I’m seeing so many incredible just, individuals who are living authentically and beautifully. And this is a safe space for you. This is a celebratory space for you. And one of the things that makes me feel so prideful is getting to be with you, and watching you interact with each other, and being so loving, and so thoughtful, and so caring. And so being with you during Pride Month, getting to sing the words to You Need To Calm Down, where there are lyrics like, ‘Can you just not step on his gown?’ or ‘Shade never made anybody less gay,’ and you guys are screaming those lyrics. It is such solidarity, and such support of one another, and such encouraging, beautiful, acceptance, and peace, and safety, and I wish that every place was safe and beautiful for people in the LGBTQ community I really wish that, because you can’t about Pride Month without talking about pain. There, right now, and recently, and in the recent years, there have been so many harmful pieces of legislation that have put people in the LGBTQ and queer community at risk. It’s painful for everyone, every ally, every loved one, every person in these communities, and that’s why I’m always posting, ‘This is when the midterms are. This is when these important key primaries are.’ Because we can support as much as we want during Pride Month, but if we’re not doing our research on these elected officials—Are they advocates? Are they allies? Are they protectors of equality? Do I want to vote for them? I love you guys so much, and happy Pride Month, and just, I adore you, I really do. So we have a lot to catch up on guys, we really do. It’s been about five years since I’ve gotten to see you in a live stadium kind of space like this, and since the last five years, I’ve put out four new albums of new music. And you know, we had a pandemic, we had a world pandemic that was the focus of everything. That was the most important conversation happening, and that was obviously going to take precedent, so I didn’t think about the fact that we may never do tours again. I put that out of my head and I just figured that if the only way that I could connect with you was to make albums, and put them out, and write songs, and that was the way I was going to do it. I was just going to make as much music as I possibly could. So we have a few new members of the musical family that I wanted to introduce you to and their names are Lover, folklore, evermore, and Midnights! And even though I wasn’t thinking about live music at the time when I was making these albums, there was one song that when I wrote it, I thought, ‘It would be so much fun to sing this at Soldier Field with beautiful people singing it with me’ So let’s do it! This is called champagne problems."

i’m not a fearless stan but i swear to god fearless is The Most Taylor album to me

[itwaslegendary]

You will never make me dislike the re-recordings…most delicious treat ever

[itwaslegendary]

beyond even the elation about taylor owning all her work, the amount of relief i felt reading the letter was unreal. i can’t imagine the number of meetings she had, from exec meetings convincing them to change industry norms to meetings with shamrock to meetings with lawyers to communicate with certain other parties. like she was resilient enough to make this whole thing into a movement and smart enough to even create the eras tour and use it to her advantage, but at the core of it all, this is something unfair that happened to her. no matter how hard she worked, she would have never gotten back all the content other than the actual music, but now she does! she probably let out a breath she’d been holding for ages.

[itwaslegendary]

AND AT LAST SHE KNEW WHAT THE AGONY HAD BEEN FOR

[itwaslegendary]

we went from taylor saying she had to make a better album when rep wasn’t nominated for aoty to taylor saying she doesn’t think she can improve rep with a re-record…

[itwaslegendary]

thinking about how people fixated on “the crowd was chanting more!!” and tried to make it ONLY about the literal eras tour crowds (something she loved!!) and refused to acknowledge the subtext of it and continued to clamor for things like rep tv, which we now know wasn’t something she was enjoying

[itwaslegendary]

okay so we’ve got the OGs back. next on the Swiftie agenda is destroying TicketMaster with the fury of ten thousand suns. gear up Swifties let’s get to it

hello how have u tumblr gays been

In a box beneath my bed is a letter than you never read. I grabbed a pen and and old napkin and I wrote down our song. All those other girls, well they’re beautiful, but would they write a song for you? The girl in the dress wrote you a song. She thinks I’m psycho ‘cause I like to rhyme her name with things. You fit in my poems like a perfect rhyme. “Oh my god, she’s insane, she wrote a song about me.” I’ve got a blank space, baby, and I’ll write your name. I got a list of names and yours in in red underlined. Don’t read the last page. I’ve got a hundred thrown-out speeches I almost said to you. When you can’t sleep at night, you hear my stolen lullabies. Is it romantic how all my elegies eulogize me? I’m begging for footnotes in the story of your life, drawing hearts in the byline. Writing letters addressed to the fire. Something different bloomed, writing in my room; I play my songs in the parking lot. On the way home, I wrote a poem. Dear reader . . . Never take advice from someone who’s falling apart. You’re not Dylan Thomas, I’m not Patti Smith, this ain’t the Chelsea Hotel, we’re modern idiots. Put narcotics into all my songs, and that’s why you’re still singing along. One day your kid comes home singing a song that only us two’s gonna know is about you. Now and then I re-read the manuscript, but the story isn’t mine anymore.
