It's Just That When I Love Something, I Love It Loud And I Love It Long. I've Never Figured Out The Halfway

“we judged ttpd too quickly!” “ttpd was sooo underrated when it came out!!” “ttpd really grew on me” skill issue. i knew ttpd was a top tier album by 12:01 AM on april 19 2024 so don’t assume that your inability to recognize greatness is universal

“Look at you, worrying so much about things you can’t change. You’ll spend your whole life singing the blues if you keep thinking that way”

i almost do - taylor swift

I think people on here make judgements far too quickly on new art. let it sink in, let it breathe! not everything is immediately gonna tick all of your boxes, nor should it. that doesn’t mean there’s nothing worthwhile there

Compilation of Taylor’s Clean Speeches from the 1989 World Tour | Clean Speech Masterpost

I know for many of us, the words that Taylor shares before she sings Clean mean as much to us as the lyrics of the song do, because someone that we love and care about knows the struggles we’re facing, and she’s cheering us on – that’s why I wanted to compile all of Taylor’s Clean speeches together in the one place. It’s been an incredible experience transcribing all the speeches and seeing the positive and healing impact that Taylor’s words have had on myself and others. Thank you for your words, Taylor. 

This post contains every Clean speech from the 1989 World Tour.

N.B. this post will be very long.

re: ts12 - i’m just so fucking excited to hear about her from a strong perspective. like yes, there will be emotional depth, but she’s overcome the shit she used to struggle with. her life is so full and complete in every way rn (not just travis). she’s not being bogged down and continuously thinking of her trauma because she can’t escape a melancholy partner who couldn’t pretend to care about her. she’s so herself, and has just completely grown into her power from eras and everything else, and it’ll be so fun to hear that come across in the record too.

i know we’re both just messing around pretending to be whole but look at me. if the train was coming would you move. if the ground was falling from under your feet would you even notice or would it just be another tuesday for you. if somebody stabbed you could it hurt worse than you already do. what i’m saying is that i love you but i think we both drive over the speed limit when it’s raining. what i’m saying is that i want to hold your hand and i understand about how you sometimes have to sit down in the shower. what i’m saying is that i’m here for you and if the train comes please move.

Taylor Swift, I Look in People's Windows

“we do it because people need an escape from how brutal life can be, and it is the honor of a lifetime to be that for them, if only for a night” has me so emotional. this tour has been the best, most magical escape for so many of us over the last two years, and i hope she knows that we feel ridiculously lucky to have experienced it, whether that was in person or via livestreams.

ppl love to talk about swifties "turning on" joe after he and taylor broke up but that's not shocking to me at all...fandoms will do that when their fave breaks up with whoever they're dating lmao. I am more interested in the fact that a ton of swifties seemed to start liking joe MORE after they broke up and that the ones who started liking him tended to be ppl who disliked/were neutral about him when they were actually dating. imagine if after taylor and calvin broke up a bunch of swifties started calling him a poor meow meow and saying everyone needed to stop calling him "calcium harvest" bc it's really rude.
