Just shows you how amazing that girl is They went absolutely insane when they showed Taylor on the screen, there might have been a few Brads and Chads that were booing but for the most part everybody was f** screaming their tail off, I was trying to keep it cool I was like don't show don't show your cards don't show your cards it was fun man it was fun. Shout out to the the Patriots New England, Taylor's on board or she's on record saying that that Stadium's one of the funnest that she's played at so for them to show her is uh just kind of I guess showing her some some love so shout out to the Patriots for doing that."

We all know in whose heart there is a "Christmas Tree Farm" ;-)

“I feel like you might like cats now,” Kylie teased her brother in law. Which leads us to ask how is Travis getting along with Meredith, Olivia and Benjamin? (1:27)

He killed it,” Travis said, revealing that Austin gave him “a VHS of my favorite football movie of all time... the Little Giants” “He actually made me feel like a child because his gift to me was straight out of the bag.” “Santa kills it,” Travis said of the gift.

Baby wrennys first Christmas where she can walk/toddle/run (idk?) and they put her in shoes with jingle bells on them to hear her move about and cause it’s cute

baby wrenny is so confused by them too, which only makes it sweeter for everyone else to watch. they’re all in tennessee for christmas, and the morning was pretty chaotic as a whole with santa presents and breakfast consisting of sugar on top of sugar with sugar on the side, but after wren’s nap they all get dressed for the day, which is really just family brunch, and that’s when travis pulls out the little squeaky shoes. if the squeaker in the sole of the shoe wasn’t enough, they’re also bright red and sparkly, and have two red jingle bells on the tops of them, and so every time the poor baby takes a step, her feet are both jingling and squeaking.

she’s only just turned two, and she’s only been really trying to walking for a few months, so she has the balance of a baby deer and the coordination of a baby giraffe. travis gets her all dressed and she’s the happiest little monster with two little piggy tails holding her hair out of her face, and she’s wearing a dress identical to taylor’s, and she’s ready to run. she allowed travis to bring her down the stairs though because she’s learned that he can get her to mommy a lot faster than her little legs can, but the second he puts her down and she starts to toddle to taylor whose sitting on the couch nursing a glass of wine as she talks to donna, the squeaking stops her in her tracks, and then she tries to take another step, and the jingles catch her attention, and then she plops onto her butt and starts pulling at the shoes, and then she starts trying to eat them because they are very much so in the thick of mouth experimentation and sensory seeking. and travis can only laugh and stand her back up, but she refuses to walk unless she’s holding onto his fingers, so it’s just this giant ass man hunched over walking a tiny baby over to taylor, and wrenny will not stop looking down at her shoes.

she also refuses to take them off though. she, apparently, loves them, but it’s clear to everyone else that they’re a major distraction because while running into walls and couches and furniture isn’t unusual for the little girl, she’s collided with an impressive amount because she’s still trying to figure out why she’s making so much noise while she’s walking. it gets to a point where she starts trying to mimic the sounds, and even when taylor picks her up she squeaks like a little mouse.

she’s saying a couple words at the time, like mama, dada, baba, up, but that’s only when she feels like it, but taylor could cry from pride when wren finally figures out that it’s the shoes themselves that are squeaking, not just her feet, and then she demands that they come off and instead shoves her tiny little hands into them and starts beating them against anything she could. first it was the couch, then it was banging them together, and then she took a shoe straight to taylor’s head and dissolved into the cheekiest of giggles when it squeaked just how she wanted them to, but then taylor took them away lmfao. she is not getting a concussion on christmas because travis bought their toddler squeaky shoes

[t1erradelfuego]

good evening. it is 22:18 pm. my flight leaves in 14 hours. i spoke 2 the moon today and she said that i can't start packing until i get rid of the worms in my brains and the narratives in my heart in the form of ao3 formatted fic ideas that rotate in my mind at the speed of light.

broken window serenade [matthew tkachuk/leon draisaitl] alternate universe - yellowstone fusion, childhood friends to enemies to lovers, internalized homophobia, cowboys & ranch hands Everyone knows the Tkachuks around here. They own the biggest ranch south of Montana, hundreds of hectares of grazing land nestled on the border in between Missouri and Nebraska. Leon's been a part of the ranch since before he could even ride a horse. He knows this place better than the back of his hand, knows his way around the business and the politics that come with being Keith Tkachuk's right-hand man and the leader of the ranch hands. So it's not a problem at all when Keith falls ill and the ranch is left to Brady and him in the meantime. Not a problem at all, when Matthew shows up for the first time in eleven years, like Leon hadn't spent the same amount of time convincing himself that Matthew was a figment of his imagination. That he didn't leave him in the middle of the night, didn't ruin everything and everyone else for Leon after that.

more notes: my toxic white middle age conservative trait is that i love yellowstone. look the show is Not The Best but WHATEVER i fucking love cowboy hats so much and i think for the benefit of my health i need to imagine leon draisaitl on a horse. anyways leon is a poor little canadian-german orphan (do NOT ask me how he got to missouri) who has been a part of the ranch since he was young, growing up with matthew as their friendship turned from deeply codependent childhood besties into fucking around together. and then matthew leaves one morning after he comes out to his dad and disappears for the next 11 years which ruins leon. and now keith's in the hospital with a stroke and matthew's back and leon just wants to run him over with a horse! something about the sincerity of childhood relationships and also the first bond you make in a new and strange place and the idea of being each other's comfort. and having that all taken away from you without a choice. and having it walk back into your life dressed in a business casual suit. there is also the version of this that exists. from matthew's perspective but like. always more narratively interesting to dig into the one who got left behind.

so good at being trouble [jack hughes/nico hischier] rule 63, alternate universe - celebrity, jack hughes is not a hockey player, getting together, secret relationship, mixed media, outsider POV, Pop Base @popbase Jack Hughes spotted with Nico Hischier, captain of the New Jersey Devils (NHL), at dinner in Los Angeles.

more notes: i'm not even a swiftie but the travis kelce and taylor swift of it all REALLY got to me. and then trevor's whole thing with the tiktok influencer and getting publicized via alex's ig is sooooo. and the wag christmas pics. i'm in shambles island over here. i'm gnawing on a bone that is pop star/professional athlete of it all. i want jack to show up slyly in the pictures and nobody knows if she's there because of luke or because of nico. i thought this would be full pov fic but it is so much more tastier as a mixed media/snippets in between type of fic because i want nothing more than to lean into the media machine that haunts their relationship. also luke having a meltdown that his captain and his sister are dating.

love is no island [trevor zegras/jamie drysdale], alternate universe - not a hockey player, love island fusion, getting together, no shirts no shoes but trevor still gets service, It was a joke, but it wasn't really a joke, because Trevor had been single for too long when he saw a post advertising Love Island applications appear on his phone. He's never been out of luck before, doesn't really know what to do without something to occupy his time and his hands. Even his social media algorithm knows this. It had been the best idea of his life. Then again, everything sounds like the best idea of his life after six shots and a fruity cocktail on an empty stomach.

more notes: ok i binged love island s6 throughout thanksgiving break and i've been thinking about the similarity of being put in a high-stakes fast paced environment and the semblance of intimacy that it creates in hockey and in love island. i'm thinking very deeply of trevor who can't sort his private vs public feelings and is also scared that this means nothing to jamie, whose friends signed him up on a lark and doesn't actually want to be here. nothing much to do but to fall in love and it feels a little too inevitable and maybe too easy. they sweep the voting and win the grand prize and fly back and go. oh. now what.

like the best that you've had [trevor zegras/jamie drysdale] rule 63, women in the NHL, 2023-2024 NHL season, getting together, "So like," Mason starts, having slowly skated his way over to Jamie as they're doing cool down laps. Practice ended an hour ago, but Trevor wanted extra reps at defending and to torture Mason for whatever reason, and it turned into keep and chase that ended with Trevor straddling Jamie, trying to face wash him on the ice. "You and Trevor a thing, huh?" They weren't particularly subtle if Mason's figured it out in his first practice with the team. Jamie blushes. "Oh. Good luck." Mason nods sagely, patting Jamie on the back before skating away quickly.

more notes: girl trevor is a female coyote who's ready to EAT. deeply inspired by top dog by magdalena bay. i've been thinking about the dynamics of women in the nhl (see: bingo board) for a long time and trevor would make the best girl in the game, so deeply sure about herself, loudly wants and hasn't ever felt shy a day in her life. i keep thinking about how jamie would go insane. specifically i wanna pick away at the dynamic that is being deeply in love with someone that everyone keeps telling you not to fall in love with. not that there's anything wrong with girl trevor but she looks like she chews on boys' heart for fun and spits them out clean as a whistle after. and she does! the first three months of living together, jamie runs into way too many guys that look heartbroken while getting kicked out like!

call this place my home [matthew tkachuk/leon draisaitl/connor mcdavid] rule 63, accidental pregnancy, developing relationship, polyamorous relationship, alternate universe, 2022-2023 NHL season Leon and Connor have been tied on the leaderboard for the past week, like they can't figure out who should win the Art Ross trophy this season, passing the puck back and forth in between them on the way to the net. They did the same to Matthew during Toronto, because they always liked sharing everything. Now she's staring at a positive pregnancy test. Go figure.

more notes: saving the best for last because THIS IS SO FUCK NASTY AND INDULGENT, i am not above this apparently. look i keep thinking about matthew getting pregnant and deciding to keep it and not knowing who's the father is and haha well the three of them have been. sort of a thing anyways. for the past year so maybe they should just? not figure out? and she's going to miss the rest of the season anyways so she might as well stay in edmonton. the baby's got to have canadian citizenship. surely. also german citizenship. the baby will play for team usa though. i think there are a lot of fun questions to explore like how do you acknowledge you are in a deeply committed polyamorous relationship and also how does having a kid change that. also how does having a kid change YOU and your own definition of love. how do you learn to put faith and hope into the wide changing world and trust that you will be okay no matter what happens. the pregnancy is actually a metaphor, you see,

Does Kylie Kelce's family feel left out now? Would the same thing happen at Christmas?

[please-picturemeintheweeds]

Do you think Travis and Taylor are already engagd and do you think it will be announced anytime soon?

I have no idea! I do know from personal experience that there’s usually 2+ conversations that could end in an engagement prior to one being enacted. My fiancé and I definitely discussed and affirmed our intention to move towards marriage at probably around 5-8 months of dating. We had a giggly whispered conversation while we were staying at his moms house for Christmas and we cried and had great sex, but the next step for us was to move in together and sign a 1 year lease, not announce to the world that we intended to enter a legally binding contract!! Over the next five years we had many conversations about The Future but something changed in the last year for both of us where we felt like if we were to get married it would no longer have anything to do with any sort of cultural pressure to do it, and we both had that thought independently, I decided after discussing with a friend and my therapist that I would make a romantic gesture so that Sam would feel cherished and swept off his feet, I did it, then we officially got engaged with rings and began telling family and close friends. It’s been a month and today was the first time he told his dad, and I still need to tell my grandma which I’ve been putting off bc of how delighted she will be (bc misogyny). Our plan is to post on socials (ugh) in the next few days, before he plays at a festival next week where we will tell lots of friends. So that’s what our process has been like, for perspective!

I think many people who grew up with more “traditional” family values would consider that first conversation at around 6 months-2 years an engagement, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, but we did not bc we are both careless men’s careful daughters… I am not yet in my thirties, and I am not Taylor swift, though!

The Lover House inside the snow globe which is surrounded by snowy trees in the night time, midnight I presume. The lover house has 9 rooms telling a different story within each room, the lover house could be a vault.

(Lavender Haze is also LH same as Lover House, and its also track 1 of Midnights 113 which was 7/9/2024 N1 Zurich. The surprise songs 1st letter of each song are SLAR -> side-looking airborne radar. An aircraft, or satellite-mounted imaging radar pointing perpendicular to the direction of the flight (hence side-looking)

Woods = trees = folklore and evermore (t+e+f = her brother does call her Teffy according to 73QWV.) *10/13/1992 Prince released his first album using a symbol rather than his name. It’s beautiful but sad. The industry made him into a symbol so if thats what you’re going to see and say then why would he ever say anything different. It was a traditional symbol that blended the female and the male symbols together… like unity in one, I love this so much. This album had 5 singles released for it, of those 5 2 were released on 11/17/1992. “7’ and “ Damn You”

*maybe she will change her name. Travis calls her Tay, so maybe Debut will be called “Tay” or maybe she will use a symbol? You never know.

*songs that mention “trees” in their lyrics include “The Best Day” “Out Of The Woods” “Happiness” “Christmas Tree Farm”

Are we out of the woods yet? (4th track of the 5th album)

4th album is Red. Inside the lover house in the red room she does sing the line about being jealous while her and her lover are on separate sides of the room. They are only together in private. Like this is her showing you the illicit affair and high infidelity she has talked about? ->The “Red Room” can also be a nod to Taylor’s connection to the 50 Shades of Gray franchise. “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever” was the lead single (12/9/2016) for the second installment 50 Shades Darker which released on 2/10/2017.

OOTW played 7x on the ET. 5/6/23, 11/11/23, 5/10/24, 6/23/24, 7/14/24, & 10/20/24, & 11/16/2024.

OOTW says “woods” 37x

ET #37 she played SS with Speak Now (3rd album 5th track) Dear John and Lover (7th album 18 track) Daylight -> 518 is the area code for northeastern part of New York State. serves cities in Albany and its neighboring suburbs, such as Plattsburgh and Lake Placid, and includes all or part of 17 counties in eastern upstate New York

“Looking at it now last December”(5th album) “I go back to December” (3rd album) (5+3=8) 2941?

-> -> -> when she goes back to December is that during August (4 month difference counting backward from December to August. m=13…) 4/13 N1/3 Tampa, FL show #8)

-> December to August (counting forward is 8 months) 8+4=12

Are we out of the woods yet? Who is WE? Her and her lover. Or her and the memories she has of this person and they only come out at night when she gives into the vices that she feels like she has to use to show who she really is? She said they are all bored waiting for trains that aren’t coming, and she also said how romantic it was to be stranded. Is she safe in hiding her truth? If she was a functioning alcoholic with a new aesthetic does this mean that the upside down yellow room signify where she would use the vices to help her play the game when she was actually fearless all along.

If it’s set at midnight in the snowglobe maybe they are twin flames that only meet in their dreams.

Also I want to point out that her sexuality is her sexuality but with that being said I just wanna say that during scenes with her lover in the Lover Video he is a black man, and that little girl reminds me of Gabby from Gabby’s Dollhouse (Char loves it!) and also the dollhouse reminds me of the lover house.. the red N for Netflix that folds down, kinda looks like a scarf. The Me! Music video reminded me so much of Hairspray which was set in the year 1962, which has the theme of acceptance and inclusion but also deals with racism and bias. This musical also had the themes of social activism and self-love. And the biggest theme of all is media bias. What a time to be alive, every afternoon when the clock strikes 4.. iykyk. All of these themes are applicable for today’s world and has been since Hairspray was released. Just because someone printed something in the news to make it look like a pretty headline does not mean the overall problem has gone away. Creating news headlines to induce fear does nothing but separate this country more and more when we need to be coming together most. We want to bitch and moan about pot holes and roads cracking, we can’t keep our people together how in the hell are we going to take care of our environment?

Is Taylor Swift about to be the new Corny Collins.. holy shit no she will be the Lynn Stone from Girls Just Want to Have Fun. I can see her now riding in on her pony. But that was Dance TV.. what are you guys up to?

The vault tracks are going to be fire because the fire was already burning but we definitely didn’t start it but I think someone knows a fireman.

*The Spotify canvas for False god has her climbing the pull down ladder that goes to the attic of the Lover House. Is this an interpretation that what she once believed to be heaven is actually hell?

[bisluthq]

I think it's also a bit easy for us to forget too that even if her and Travis have been together technically for almost a year, a lot of the that time wasn't exactly in person and in person interaction. Specially in the first months. In july-august she was legit busy with her tour and there were people back in the day that tried to pierced together when they could have met in August and there weren't a lot of options. During football season atleast until like december, she also wasn't doing the housewife thing and wait for him everynight after pratice. She was constantly being seen in NY during the week. The longest time she spent with him during that time was the christmas week into NYD.

So realistically it seems like they were only able to spend actual time together in March and April when they were both off and lived together. Well she wasn't exactly off but you know what I mean. Plus their highly photographed vacation trip.

We're in May now and apparently he might be able to follow her around a bit since he's the off one, but yeah people like to point out it has been an year and surely they were in contact all the time but it has been a bit of long distance and when they met it's not like they had a phase of having time to be together right away ykwim.

As much as Taylor tried to say in September they were already a couple and they had time to know each other off the radar, it was like less than two months in reality. So they went from not knowing each other to jump into a relationship in two months. In the same year homegirl had broken up with two people. It might not have happened overlap, but it sure as heck doesn't scream healthy to me as much as swifties want to call it that

it’s hectic but by tay standards very healthy lol compared to the last couple dudes.

how do both taylor and travis react to baby wrens bruises and such?

taylor cries the first time she sees wren because even the poor baby's face is discolored. she doesn't want to think about how wren ended up with bruising around her eyes and a swollen bottom lip, but just being confronted with the sight of an eleven month baby so beaten up is breaking her heart. travis does a little bit better than taylor at first, he tears up, but he can hold it together until he tries to change her diaper and has to take her clothes off for the first time. not only is her back bruised, and her little legs, but there are cuts all along her skin that he just cannot fathom how they got there. he knows how they got there. he knows that wren was whipped with a belt, but he can't picture a grown adult using a belt on a baby that can't even walk yet. taylor pukes during that first diaper change. she's so discussed by timothy and adriana that the sight of this sweet baby all battered and bruised makes her physically ill, and at night, when they finally have wren down for the first of many times, travis breaks down completely. they tear up every time they catch sight of the bruises and cuts on her body, and even when the bruises fade and the cuts heal, sometimes they look back at pictures of their first few days/weeks as a family and even the sight of wren and her swollen little eyes and bruised arms makes them so sick and emotional. once they have more pictures of wren, they take all the baby pictures down that were taken within the first three months. the only baby pictures that they have up around the house for years are pictures from wren's first birthday and her first christmas, but even those make taylor want to cry.

Taylor Swift Debuts at #1 on Hot 100 With 'Cardigan,' Is 1st Artist to Open Atop Hot 100 & Billboard 200 in Same Week

By: Gary Trust for Billboard Date: August 3rd 2020

Plus, the set's "The 1" & "Exile" open in the Hot 100's top 10.

Taylor Swift's "Cardigan" blasts in at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart.

The song is from Swift's new LP Folklore, which launches at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, as Swift becomes the first artist ever to debut at No. 1 on both the Hot 100 and Billboard 200 in the same week.

Folklore was released July 24 on Republic Records, after being first teased by Swift only the day before. "Cardigan" is joined by two other songs from the set that debut in the Hot 100's top 10: "The 1," at No. 4, and "Exile," featuring Bon Iver, at No. 6.

"Cardigan," the 1,106th No. 1 in the Hot 100's 62-year history, enters with 34 million U.S. streams and 71,000 downloads sold in the week ending July 30, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data. It concurrently debuts atop both the Streaming Songs and Digital Song Sales charts. The song also drew 12.7 million in all-format radio airplay audience in the week ending Aug. 2.

Here are 13 (famously Swift's favorite number) notable achievements surrounding the chart arrival of Folklore and its songs.

1) First artist ever to debut atop Hot 100 & Billboard 200 simultaneously: With "Cardigan" and Folklore, Swift is the first artist to debut at No. 1 on the Hot 100 and Billboard 200 in the same week. The Billboard 200 began on March 24, 1956, and the Hot 100 originated on Aug. 4, 1958.

The act, fronted by Justin Vernon, previously charted two titles, both in 2010 as featured on songs on Kanye West's album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, led by the No. 18-peaking "Monster," also featuring Jay-Z, Rick Ross and Minaj.

"Cardigan" dethrones DaBaby's seven-week Hot 100 leader "Rockstar," featuring Roddy Ricch. The track holds at No. 2 on the Radio Songs chart (67.9 million, up 10%) and dips to No. 3 on Streaming Songs, after nine weeks at No. 1 (32.9 million, down 9%), and 5-7 on Digital Song Sales (10,000, down 6%).

"Rockstar" concurrently rules the multi-metric Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts for an eighth week each.

Jack Harlow's "Whats Poppin," featuring DaBaby, Tory Lanez and Lil Wayne, drops to No. 3 on the Hot 100 from its No. 2 high.

The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights" descends 4-5 on the Hot 100, following its four-week rule. It tops Radio Songs for a 17th frame (76.2 million in audience, up 2%), moving to within a week of potentially tying for the longest command since the chart started in December 1990.

"Blinding Lights" tops the multi-metric Hot R&B Songs chart for a record-tying 20th week. It joins three other songs for a share of the mark, including another by The Weeknd, dating to the list's October 2012 start: Drake's "One Dance," featuring WizKid and Kyla (2016); The Weeknd's "Starboy," featuring Daft Punk (2016-17); and Bruno Mars' "That's What I Like" (2017).

Harry Styles' "Watermelon Sugar" holds at its No. 7 Hot 100 high; SAINt JHN's "Roses" slides 5-8, after reaching No. 4; and Megan Thee Stallion's former one-week leader "Savage," featuring Beyoncé, falls 6-9.

Rounding out the Hot 100's top 10, Jawsh 685 and Jason Derulo's "Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat)" enters the tier, rising 12-10. The track retreats 3-4 on Digital Song Sales, although with a 14% advance to 13,000 sold, and 10-17 on Streaming Songs, but with a 1% gain to 17.9 million U.S. streams, while climbing 40-33 on Radio Songs (23.5 million, up 23%).

New Zealand producer Jawsh 685 (real name: Joshua Nanai) hits the Hot 100's top 10 in his first visit to the chart, while Derulo adds his seventh top 10 and first since the No. 5-peaking "Want to Want Me" in 2015.

(A "savage" garden: Three songs with "savage" in their titles have hit the Hot 100 all-time, and two of them rank back-to-back at Nos. 9 and 10 this week. The other? Rod Hart's "C.b. Savage," which reached No. 67 in 1977.)
