I've never cared less about getting barrier at a gig because I like space to shake my butt and not be around 14 year olds, but I really now just want to go to a Paramore gig, get to the barrier and hold up a sign which is just her iconic Tumblr post enlarged with "1st of all, it's absurd. 2nd, it's disrespectful" highlighted. All the photos you posted showing their body language connection stuck around the outside as a frame. I think that would be really beautiful

crying i want someone to do that so bad 😭

[officialtayley]

The photo Hayley has posted of her and T 😭 oh to be hot and on a boat in Portugal with my hot boyfriend!!!

why is that not my life

[officialtayley]

I agree with previous anon - finding you when I was new to the fandom last year felt so good! This is all a bit stupid probably and too deep lol but, I'm neurodivergent (ADHD, but probably autism too) and whenever an ND level special interest takes hold, it's usually when I'm in already in a depression or period of burn out. It's like my brain is vulnerable for something to cling to. Or like a demon notices an easy target to possess hah. When I saw Paramore last year, it was like my brain was genuinely addicted to them, specifically H, and I felt like I was only calm and regulated when zoning out consuming anything to do with them, but simultaneously I ever actually felt like I would "catch up" and felt embarrassed by how much time I was wasting online looking for stuff.

But then I found Kels' blog and devoured the archive, and then found you, and ever since then I felt the frenzied fan in my head settle down, I think because I only have to check one place for info now, but also because you've always been so nice to me when I message even if it's been about old things from After Laughter tours, or just a random submission or thought that I want to share with anyone. Sometimes I can share with an IRL friend who is a fan, but most of the time I know it needs to be just go to fandom fans, and I never wanted to be a twitter fan and didn't know what to do with all my thoughts before finding your Tumblr. Like you are so patient most of the time, you're not like some gatekeeper, and you're also not blind to the band's/H's faults, and I love that because twitter is just full of people wanting to be Hayley's next screenshot only.

The special interest addiction levels of fandom would have died down for me eventually, it always does, but the place you hold for us here was such a help and helps me maintain it in a healthy way, e.g. I don't have a compulsion to check loads of fan accounts on ig or twitter, because anything important will be here. It's so embarrassing admitting how much special interests can consume me especially as it stops being properly enjoyable after a few days and feels like I'm possessed, but yeah thank you idk I just really like this community forum space we have here and seeing you be so welcoming to a new person is making me think about how nice it is that you're pretty much a daily part of my day lol. This is so long why am I being so emotional over Tumblr hahahahah

this is also the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. this whole thing really warmed my heart and i did in fact cry again... i'm not even a crier but i guess i am just emotional today.

i'm glad i can be a daily part of your day, and it means so much to me that you feel this way about my blog and also me. you've always be lovely to me and naturally the more people come back the more i warm up them. i also do just try to be nice in general to everyone here as long as they aren't being weird or rude to me.

the few messages today just make me really appreciate the community we've built here tbh. it's like i say a lot, i am very disliked, it's been that way since 2018 in particular, and i know why even though everyone's reasons are very different, but i don't enjoy it. sometimes it does make me wonder if i am a horrible person, which is silly but it happens. i've had a few ppl i'm friends with tell me about fans they're friends with or fans they talk to tell them about how they don't like me and stuff, but thankfully those friends never were swayed because they know me on a personal level. but anyway, it just makes me glad i have this little community.

i also wish i kept my old posts cause you would've liked many of those, from before tayley was ever confirmed. but i also used to be more annoying back then so it's for the best they're gone. but yeah, i'm glad this blog means this much to you, this was really lovely to read and i'm just very thankful. so so so so thankful 💕💕💕 i also always enjoy whenever you send anything, it's always nice seeing you here so often :)

Isn't H literally quoted somewhere, probably during the AL era, saying her favourite thing to perform in is just a big t shirt and her favourite shoes or something like that. Like the girly loves having her cheeks out, it's not like Lindsey is just giving Hayley crap clothes, it's so clearly very Hayley-led!! And she nearly always looks comfortable and hot so like .. do these people just want her to be in jeans and a vest top like 15 years ago? Or only in high fashion pleated mini skirts like autumn 2022? Like let the girl have her legs out man

also like idk why ppl think she's like got her actual underwear out either cause it's always clearly short shorts and shit but like it's whatever it's very AL tbh

[officialtayley]

RIP Ash when they come back to their inbox today after the latest Paramore post 🙏🏽📿

ajwjjwjsjsjsjs i literally slept again why do they keep doing this to me

[officialtayley]

Happy birthday Ash!! Hope you've had a nice day, thank you for keeping this silly little slave going for us :~)

heheheheh thank u :) i've had a nice day :) thank u for always coming around here it's always nice to see u <3

[officialtayley]

I'm rewatching her solo Zane interview while I work and the way she describes how, after her divorce, she got to "hang out with her friends from school again" and they "didn't need to pretend to be supportive" (second one not a direct quote but cba to go back haha) that combined with that group photo at Chad's house makes me SO sad, man. Like, she was so young, she already had issues with people leaving her i.e. her parents' multiple divorces, and then Chad clearly cut her off from her boys. Then a decade of band drama, Zac leaving, Taylor likely not at her wedding...like, I think of her, Zac and Taylor as the goal trio because of this era, but remembering the truth and how lonely she must have felt for like a decade of her life makes me rage and want to fight every older man who even talks to younger women, honestly. Honestly if I ever somehow met Chad it is ON SIGHT lmao

like man....... he kinda isolated her and even if he wasn't doing anything on purpose, it was his actions towards her than kept her isolated from the people she loved because she knew none of them liked him at all and it can be so hard to support someone who is in a relationship that's so awful, so hard to act like you are fine with it or to simply act civil when you cannot stand that nasty ass man. i need to punch him

[officialtayley]

God you're far more patient than me, Ash. Like...are anon messages to a Tayley stan blog the best place for discourse, maybe yes maybe no, it's a good conversation to me have but jeeeeez. Always jarring seeing people find ways to excuse and justify themselves not condemning little war crimes lmao.

So, to mix it up a little, please feel free to answer all or some (or simply none of the following haha if you've answered them before or just don't want to):

🪄

1) When did you first become aware of Paramore?

2) When did you first see Paramore live/how many times have you?

3) What other artists/bands do you listen to a lot? Maybe...top 5 (no particular order)

4) Do you have any pets? Talk about them (if you want)

5) What was the last new-to-you film, TV show and book you watched/read?

6) What was your favourite moment from running this blog before their relationship was official? I wasn't here then but reading Kels' archive makes me so jealous of how fun and mad it all seemed whenever a new scrap of content arrived haha.

7) If you woke up tomorrow looking like Hayley and couldn't dye your hair (except to refresh it), which hair era would you want?

8) If you had half an hour with Hayley, what would you want to talk about?

That's all I can think of but hopefully it'll give you SOMETHING different to talk/think about!! 🫡🌻

i was saving this so now i shall answer :) the questions were very fun to answer i loved this so much, thank you!! 🖤

1) 2007! that is how long i have been a fan too :)

2) 27th september 2013. overall i have seen them live 4 times! i also saw halfnoise in 2017 and met zac

3) seventeen, jungkook, iu, eminem, billie eilish. honourable mention to taeyeon tho!

4) i don't have any pets. i had a dog (german shepherd) called sam, we had him before i was born so when i came along he was super protective, when i was baby he was always by my crib and stuff and as i was growing up if i needed help when walking or walking down the stairs at our back door (they had no railing) he'd always stand by my side so i could hold him, and then as i grew up too he always slept in my room or on my bed. he passed though in 2005 or 2006? so sad i miss him he was the best. i had another dog after that (yorkshire terrier) and i called him marmite but he was too hyperactive and aggressive so we ended up having to give him to a friend.

5) um..... i don't know. i watched barbie but that was new to everyone. vincenzo (kdrama) is the only thing that comes to mind since i only got into kdramas last year and it came out in 2021. some other things, not new to me but hey i wanna share, little women (kdrama), extraordinary attorney woo (kdrama) and a business proposal (kdrama), the first two were so incredible, the last one was silly but it was a fun time.

6) my fave moment.... the date at the gallery in oct 2018. also LA nov 2018. it was a party over here it was so fun each time. obvs they were dating then but majority of the fanbase still hating tayley shippers and that's what tayley were up to..... incredible time.

7) self titled. granted her personal life was a mess but she went thru 2726267227 hair styles and colours and i think it would be fun

8) hm.... well id like to tell her about finding paramore in 2007 during the literal worst year is my whole life and how it really helped me as a 10 year have something to turn to when i was going through something very traumatic. id also like to pick her brain over some lyrics on ffv so i can understand them properly finally, and hm..... idk what else

[officialtayley]

Hey :) hope you're doing okay!

I just saw a tiktok of them performing Fleetwood Mac - Everywhere in the AL era and it made me wonder, did they ever cover it before AL? I haven't really watched many <AL performances. I imagine it's purely coincidental/because it kind of fit with the vibe of AL and where they were musically at the time but I also just really love the thought of her slowly falling for Taylor and being like "hey guys I've thought of a really random cover for us to start doing x"

Sorry if that's a really boring overdone observation haha, I know it must be tedious always discussing stuff from 6-7 years ago with people who are a bit newer!

nope! they never covered it before AL. they only started covering it in 2017!

and it's not boring, i prefer stuff like this anyway. even if it's something old it's not something i've been asked before either so it's nice :)

[officialtayley]

Was looking at videos from their last few shows and accidentally took a screenshot because I'm a boomer and don't know my phone works and honestly this is sooo funny to me, like she's just fully on her way to bother him 😭 hayley leave the man alone!

i could not see this for ages bc tumblr blocked it and said it was sensitive content 😭 kinda is rlly bc she's cute she just wanted to be silly and goofy w her man

[officialtayley]

It's ok I've worked it out - I was looking at the list for supply/cover teachers at my school today and it turns out Taylor is just having a break to work as a sub and teach Year 8 Science! Phew!

PLEASE 😭😭😭

[officialtayley]

Hello Ash, an update no one asked for: the ex I was going to go for a drink with cancelled because he "couldn't be bothered" lmao ok go off truthful king!! And now I am annoyed that he didn't match my sense of Christmas chaos whimsy so I think you can smack me or whatever it was you said you'd do. Brb listening to one of those crazy girls 🌝

do u want to see a beautiful man instead? it will help u forget about the ex u should never think about

[officialtayley]

This message is v apropos of nothing but: if I wrote fanfiction, I would have a scene in which Hayley and Taylor have a mild argument (like just a general domestic bicker) and Hayley is objectively being the brat so Taylor is like "right, first of all it's absurd, second it's disrespectful" because he knows it will make her laugh. Just wanted to share because GOD I hope he roasts her with that in some way at least annually.

😭😭😭😭

[officialtayley]

Me seeing them in Cardiff, my first time seeing them since 2012 (and that one was the first time ever and 'just' a festival set although I found pictures the other day and remembered we were like 3 rows from the front so that was still cool but whatev) and them playing All I Wanted in Cardiff ... yeah god is real and I'm his special favourite for that

man the first time i saw them was 27th sept 2013 in london. iirc some of the daydreaming mv was filmed at both the london shows like that's so crazy. i also got all i wanted this year and i was like idk what i did to deserve this but i can die happy now actually

lets enjoy one of the few good pics i got from my first show 😭

[officialtayley]

Hello me again, as IF the first band content we get in ages is about Liar 😭 I love them, I love love. I fear my dormant hyperfixation is growing again, we love to see it.

they saw us upset with the drought and were like ik what will get people excited..... tayley stuff! they're so kind

[officialtayley]

Just in case you needed to hear it: you can ignore these anons if you want and give yourself some peace 🌻

don't worry, whatever i wake up to tomorrow will be the last of it for sure. in fact tomorrow i shall be making sure everyone wishes mingyu well cause he only got 2 and that's not enough!
