the 1989 (taylor's version) vault solving is so chaotic to make up for the fact that speak now (taylor's version) didn't get one and this is a scientific fact

No but this legendary woman. She told a story right in front of us.

Taylor first sang Long Story Short -- a song about her surviving a tough time with a loved one, and then cut in with The Story of Us-- suddenly there's a break in the relationship.

Then she announced TTPD The Black Dog (meaning depression).

And then she sang Clean & Evermore

She finally lets go.

"and I couldn't be sure, I had this feeling so peculiar, this pain wouldn't be for evermore"

Evermore really represented that night I'm so proud 🥹🤎.

Thank you so much @taylorswift those songs mean so much to me. Love you.

Before the day ends I wanted to wish my girl @taylorswift a happy happy birthday (again)!! I will never have the words to fully express my love and gratitude for this woman. She’s be a constant in my life since I was 7 years old. She’s been with me navigating every phase of life. She’s always had the words for me when I could never express how to feel. Her talent is a gift and her nature is unmatched. Happy 34th birthday Taylor. May it be as wonderful as you are every day. You deserve nothing less. Thank you for all that you do every single day. I’m indebted to you. I love you to the moon and to Saturn🥳🥂🖤

The importance of remaining true to one’s Identity; Unpacking one of Swift’s most underrated lyrics

For the re-recording of her third studio album, Dr. Taylor Alison Swift wrote a song named “When Emma falls in love.” In said song, we encounter the lyric, “She's so New York when she’s in LA.” This commonly overlooked statement offers us the opportunity to reflect on the significance of embracing our authentic selves, regardless of the environment. In this article, I will analyze this quote, explaining its meaning and implications.

At first glance, this lyric might appear shallow to the average pop fan. It could seem like another instance of Swift’s beloved urban imagery, a recurrent motif we can find all throughout her discography. However, once we take a second look, we find that the juxtaposition of these two main American cities is a very clever way to show that authenticity transcends external influences. To really comprehend the depth of this message, let’s examine the song more closely.

The protagonist whom Dr. Swift sings about, Emma, is depicted as a girl from a small town, a fact discerned from the song’s chorus, where she is also portrayed as a modern version of Cleopatra. This historical figure represents, among many things, power, intellect, and femininity. Consequently, since Emma comes from a small town, we can assume she carries all these qualities in a more down-to-earth, humble manner, making her a more approachable person. Throughout the whole song, we learn about Emma and her approach to love. She is a girl with a strong sense of self who knows what she wants and doesn’t let herself get lost in her own feelings.

This leads us to our next point: the significance of New York City. Taylor Swift’s affinity for New York is widely known, given that it is mentioned in many of her songs. Upon closer examination of its symbolism, It becomes clear that she regards New York more as a State of mind than a physical place. Therefore, we must ask ourselves what New York represents and how it traces back to Emma, who, despite having grown up in a small town, represents the essence of this iconic city.

The city, also known as the Big Apple, is all about individuality and self-expression. We know Emma is a unique girl with very specific characteristics and beliefs, and that’s exactly what New York entails: confidence and ambition. Emma is very aware of her identity and how that is what makes her special. Taylor herself envies her for this reason.

On the other hand, we have the contrasting city of Los Angeles. Having already established that New York is a state of mind, it must be noted that the same cannot be said for LA because it would nullify the comparison. You can’t possibly be in one state of mind if you're already in another. We know Taylor refers to the actual city of Los Angeles, and this choice is far from random. In fact, it is another showcase of Swift’s incredible cunning. Los Angeles is the total opposite of New York. With the rise of pop culture and influencer scene, it has come to symbolize superficiality, the pressures of conformity and the pervasive need to fit in.

Emma being `New York´ when she is in LA suggests that her personality shines through despite any expectations the world might impose on her. Emma’s identity is not limited by geography or circumstances. She remains unique, clever, and strong, carrying these qualities everywhere she goes, whether that be Los Angeles or any other city.

From my perspective, it seems that in today’s world, there is a prevalent urge to blend in and a fear of being different or standing out. Thus, when I heard this lyric, it instantly made an impression on me. I have always loved traveling because I felt I had the chance to start over and be someone else—someone I am not. I thought It was the perfect chance to hit the reset button, and I believed that the transformation was for the better. I used to think that if I were in LA, I had to become LA, and I’d be met with disappointment every time because I felt like I was falling short of my own expectations. It was perplexing how, despite putting in all the effort, I never felt truly satisfied.

After weeks of contemplation on this specific lyric, I have reached a powerful realization: Who I am is not dictated by my surroundings. I am proud of myself, and I carry my unique identity everywhere I go. I now understand that there is no need to leave the essence of my character behind to start over and embark on new adventures. From now on, I will focus on shining my authentic self and hope to be a source of inspiration for those around me to do the same.

VS

Watching the first 17 minutes of Reputation tour on Netflix for the first time a few days after catching The Eras Tour film in cinemas, I'm almost surprised at how... unsurprised / unimpressed I am?

Like, her vocals, the stage effect, her performers' & her choreography (me utterly mesmorised at her & her dancers moving to the beats of Are You Ready For It in Eras Tour vs Rep tour I wasn't sure what exactly some of them were doing), the stage theatrics, the visual elements... In so many ways the Eras Tour made Rep tour look like a community show. That's how indescribably untoppable The Eras Tour is.

(not to say Rep tour was a bad tour she literally rose back up from there, there definitely were iconic moments)

That was 2018. She was already a legend in 2018 and one can clearly see just how much she's improved in 2023...

2018 Taylor hadn't written Folklore & Evermore (masterpieces forever), hadn't gotten an honorary Dr degree and delivered that speech, hadn't won artist & woman of the decade, hadn't have all her past work taken from her... 2018 Tay was rising back from the earth, taking everything that belonged to her BACK.

She has come so far. We stand with Taylor.

(also I wish Tay would take a longer break before rep TV announcement. Like a proper long break)

My sister and I have started making our friendship bracelets! I can't wait to give these to or trade these with my fellow Swifties. (I plan on making like 100+). Two more weeks!!!!

As a Taylor Swift fan and an Eagles fan, I'm gonna be honest I'm having a hard time
