On April 17, 1878, a jury awarded Wood $2,500. This is still the largest amount awarded by a U.S. Court as reparations for slavery.

christian siriano denied being behind the pink skirt later featured in the ‘ME!’ music video but teased that he was working on something for her:

“Well I did an ombre beautiful dress, but it's not this … we're working on something for her, but in a different capacity.”

it’s worth nothing this project never came to be; the last time taylor wore christian siriano was at the 2014 met gala (and when she rewore the dress in music videos)

How the letters work:

On each video that reveals a letter on Taylor's unlisted YouTube Shorts clips they all include the same sound of 13 ticks in total. Each letter is placed on a different tick. You just have to count the tick each letter is placed at!
