![]() | Elton John about Taylor Swift in a recent interview: “She is a great songwriter, she is a great artist, she's phenomenal. I've never seen a phenomenon like that since the Beatles." [link] [comments] |
![]() | my favourite supporting my favourites 🫶 [link] [comments] |
![]() | these are just my opinions, i wanna hear y'alls [link] [comments] |
![]() | Now I can clown for Reputation TV in style! These beautiful high-tops were hand-embroidered just for ME! I asked the artist to make the flowers look like the acoustic set piano, and she nailed it. I can't wait to rock them in NOLA for N2. Artist/seller: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Hanastoree She does amazing work. [link] [comments] |
And also maybe it would make resale ticket prices come down…💀 what’s the benefit to her to not do this? It kinda feels like a cultural phenomenon coming to an end .
I want to create an app that enables Swifties to connect with other Swifties on a more personal level. Would anyone use it?
I’ve seen a few posts over the past few days from people saying they don’t have any Swiftie friends and they feel down(bad) about not being able to express their Swift. A Taylormatch app would enable this. I, for one, would definitely use it, to talk to dedicated Swifties around the world, or have dinner with local dedicated Swifties.
What do you think?
![]() | i redid it cuz i wasn’t proud of the ones i did for taurus, gemini, scorpio, sagittarius, and aquarius. sometimes you just gotta go with your first initial ideas lol [link] [comments] |
![]() | I have been looping these 2 songs the last few days non stop. They’re both so good, one of my faves of TTPD. Which one is higher on your list? 🫶🏻 [link] [comments] |
![]() | It was so much fun! Every inning was a new era with Taylor themed games & graphics, they had a bracelet making station, and the night ended with fireworks set to her music. I made some baseballxTaylor pun bracelets to hand out. [link] [comments] |

I just wanted to share my impression of listening to some of the songs and hearing the backstories afterwards, and it’s obviously more reflection of my own experiences that I’m projecting in the end. But here’s my take:
Harry Styles: I think she actually really liked that guy; more than he deserved it, and she knew it. Kind of a situation where you know how it ends but you still go for it hoping it might turn out differently. I’m not sure if he’s extra endowed or why he’s such a heart throb as I don’t see it, but I think he meant more than he should have had.
Jake Gyllenhall (however you spell that): her first “big love”, and a terrible heartbreak. Pretty sure she was really in love with him, and had a hard time coming with both how and where everything ended. Btw not a great look for him, this narrative portrays him as a pretty immature and generally shitty boyfriend to a girl who was a bit naive but authentically in love with him.
Joe: I think she thought this was the one; the grounding connection that’s going to go the distance. The mature, respectful relationship that ticks all the boxes. The managed expectations. The regulated emotions. And the disappointment when in spite of her doing everything right it ended after she invested her best years into it.
Anyway, just thinking about some of these as the songs were playing while driving 🤪

![]() | I’m the same age as Taylor (We’re 1989 girlies!) but I still wanted a wall of her to inspire me, so I came up with this idea. I ordered the guitar sticker off Ali express. Then I found the CD booklet scans of 4 of my favorite Taylor songs and sent that + the pictures of her off to a walmart photo center and VOILA! I love it [link] [comments] |
I'll start: hoax. This is one of my favorite bridges, and i truly wish there was more hoax appreciation!
What is a popular song that you just don't understand the popularity of within swifties whether you think it's boring or think the lyrics are overrated. I'll go first, Maroon.
I know this line is often a topic of discussion and disagreement in this subreddit. Still, I want to dedicate this thread specifically to this line because I recently had a very nice exchange about it in another thread and wanted to share it with more people to hear your thoughts and opinions.
Long story short, the exchange was about the line “A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground / With no one around to tweet it,” which I initially misunderstood as “no one around to treat it” for a long time before reading the lyrics. Both lines suggest that the place being sung about is deserted and, above all, left alone. But although I do quite like my misunderstood version, I still find the original wording better.
(Of course, I don’t know how much thought Taylor put into this line and wording, but that’s where I come in—I think a lot about a lot of things :))
I feel that the choice was intentional and serves a very specific purpose. By choosing to include a modern social media platform in an otherwise timeless song, Taylor deliberately aims to pull the listener out of this poetic scenario and make them realize that a place (or moment) is special and beautiful precisely because there’s no social media. — This is somewhat emphasized by the fact that many fans don’t like this line and would have preferred a more timeless wording without Twitter or any other social media platform.
And yet we live in a time where we constantly view precious moments through a camera lens and can share everything with the world with just a few clicks, a reality Taylor addressed in 2020, a year defined by escapism, when we unfortunately spent too much time online and saw beautiful places mainly through our phones. Thus, many moments are shaped by comments and opinions online because we have posted every conceivable place online. In contrast, Taylor sings about a place that isn’t even mentioned online—a place that even Twitter leaves alone, a place with no social media comment section.
With that being said, I personally don’t view this song as timeless and don’t find the choice of lyrics unfitting. Instead, I see it as a reflection of a specific experience Taylor had during her trip to the Lake District in the UK in 2020, capturing the essence of that moment in time. Taylor could have chosen “treat it” or another line, which might have created a more timeless and poetic song about escapism. However, I believe her final choice is more impactful. I understand that there is a desire for something completely timeless with this song, and I can see why some might prefer the misheard lyrics as a form of escapism or delusion. But that’s my take and my opinion based on the discussion and reflections I’ve shared but I understand that perspectives on this song and its lyrics can vary greatly. Given that this is a social media platform where sharing thoughts and opinions is part of the experience (and I’m well aware of the irony), please enlighten me with your thoughts on this song and this specific line. I’d be delighted to read them!! 🫶
![]() | Trying to decide between attempting to get the letters off and replacing with the correct word (risking ruining the whole pair), or just hoping I can sell them at a discount to a Swiftie who doesn’t care about the small typo😂😂😅🎨🌈🌻✨🫶🏼 [link] [comments] |
