As great as having a whole season be dropped onto streaming is, I miss the 24 episode seasons with the like “season 3a” and “season 3b” for the mid season finales and breaks and all that. Someone posted something about holiday specials and YES I agree. PLL halloween episodes were always top tier, Grey’s Anatomy holiday episodes, Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill🥲I miss it.

Had a dream last night where Taylor had a mini concert and I was given the little paper to meet her afterwards and somehow I had neon pink highlights in my hair (my hair is light brown with blonde highlights😭) and unsure what it means.

Does this mean I gotta dye my hair pink to meet Taylor? Lots of questions here.

SHAKE IT OFF TURNS 10 TODAY!

Voice memo here;

[Lover Journal] LA. This week I've been in the studio with Max and Johan every day and it has been the most creatively successful and fulfilling time. The first day, Johan just made a really up tempo drum beat because we decided we needed something up and light. We worked at it for a few hours before i just started singing "shake it off, shake it off, shake it off" And then the best way i know how to describe it is that the chorus just fell out of the sky. It ended up being this song about doing your own thing even though haters are gonna hate, and you just have to dance to your own beat. We all went home and I wrote the first and second verses and brought them in the next day. We wrote this chanty cheer leader bridge that I absolutely LOVE. We spent all day doing vocals and the next day recording the background vocals. I think it'll end up being the first single and Max said it's his favorite song he's ever been a part of.

[Max Martin during the lawsuit] “Shellback started out with a drumbeat. Shellback, Taylor, and I then collaboratively developed the melody and other lines of ‘Shake It Off’ to Shellback’s drumbeat. I did not write or provide any input into any lyrics in ‘Shake It Off,’ which were written entirely by Taylor.”

“I've had every part of my life dissected – my choices, my actions, my words, my body, my style, my music. When you live your life under that kind of scrutiny, you can either let it break you, or you can get really good at dodging punches. And when one lands, you know how to deal with it. And I guess the way that I deal with it is to shake it off.”

“The message in the song is a problem I think we all deal with and an issue we deal with on a daily basis. We don’t live just in a celebrity takedown culture, we live in a takedown culture. People will find anything about you and twist it to where it’s weird or wrong or annoying or strange or bad. You have to not only live your life in spite of people who don’t understand you, you have to have more fun than they do.”

[From my writing of 1989 Timeline]

"This is my favorite part of the show. Welcome to the acoustic section! So, this is a tradition we started on the Eras Tour, and it was kind of in honor of the fact that I was trying to play music from all of the albums, because you’ve been so supportive of all of them, which is why I even get to do this tour, so I sort of challenge myself to do different songs every night, like, a different one on guitar and one on piano, songs I usually don’t play live. And you know, when I’m picking these songs, I try to think about how I can, I try to match the moment. Like, you have done something so extraordinary by deciding that 96,000 of you wanted to come and hang out and dance and sing, so I was just like, ‘I’ve got to pick one that they really want to hear.’ And I think I might have achieved it, you have to let me know. I really just want you to be happy, because you’re making me really happy, so I figured you might want to hear this one. Let me know, though."

No because THIS.

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.
