#folklore and evermore are both the cover outfits

[miamignonette]

it’s interesting to see what taylor (or just her merch team lol) thinks is the most iconic look from every era bc sometimes i disagree very strongly. anyways tag what you’d choose bc i’m curious

[allisluv]

which thg characters do you think would be swifties?

anon i love this question so much !!

• i honestly don’t think katniss would like taylor swift at the start. like, she’d hear her music and it wouldn’t be for her, but then peeta forces her to listen to taylor and shes slowly converted 😭 i think she’d be an evermore girlie.

• peeta would eat sleep and breathe taylor swift and i will not be taking criticism on this. if we’re talking abt a modern!au, he would beg katniss to get him tickets for the eras tour. i think his favourite album is lover or 1989.

•finnick and annie are one thousand percent swifties. annie would be the best person to go to the eras tour with. she’d spend weeks hand-crafting bracelets and they would definitely dress up as miss americana and the heartbreak prince. i think they both adore folklore

• johanna’s a rep girlie but she’s not a swiftie per say if you know what i mean. like she’ll listen casually but i don’t think she’d go out of her way to listen.

• cinna. no i will not elaborate. he probably listens to vigilante shit as he sketches katniss’ outfits 😭 he’s a midnight man for sure.

• do i even need to mention lucy gray? she’s a song writer and she would analyse every word of taylor’s songs. her favourite album is debut and she would so do a cover of picture to burn about billy taupe (and we love her for that!)

some honorable mentions would be tigris, effie and prim!

Midnights vs Daylight

Thoughts on TS Midnights title and promotion (This will tie into my ‘Thoughts on the Eras tour’ theories)

I think we can all agree that folklore and evermore were pandemic products. If there had been no pandemic, it stands to reason that Lover would have led directly into Midnights (especially with the way the re-recording process has inspired this album). And that’s interesting because Lover was originally meant to be titled Daylight.

So instead of getting an album called Daylight, we now have an album called Midnights, the polar opposite. Could that be because daylight never came after all and she’s stuck in an eternal night?  

Midnights announcement and visuals

In the midnights announcement on socials, we got two images: the cover of Taylor holding the lighter, and the image under the announcement text from the promo photo shoot. Immediately, these two do not look like they are front and back of the same album. The cover image on white background has a modern classy but glamourous tone to it, and the announcement photo has a depressed 70s vibe. So the duality here is not hidden, and that confused me at first, but I do think this is deliberate and once we got the Anti Hero mv, it became clear why:

Midnights is about hiding your true self in favour of protecting a beloved public image and Taylor has perfected this to such a degree that her public and private personas have become two separate entities battling each other until they finally learn to co-exist, as we see in the two Taylors in the mv. One is the quiet contemplative one, the other is the loud party girl. One writes the songs, the other is the performer. One is the trusting people pleaser, the other knows that everyone will betray her. These two Taylors and their differences are the overarching theme of the video, and that theme carries over into the dichotomy of the midnights album style: Private vs public

Front: She’s wearing her glittery stage make up here so while we can’t see her outfit, I do think this is meant to be the performer Taylor. She’s holding the lighter open and looking at the flame, which to me feels a bit threatening, like she’s poured the fuel and is about to drop a match into it. And what did performance Taylor do this year on tour? Ah yes…burn the Lover house. (More on that HERE if you haven’t read my lover house theory). We should have seen it coming 😊

Back: The second image has even more to unpack, both in the photo and the text. I wasn’t a gaylor on the internet back in 2022 so forgive me if I’m repeating what other people have already pointed out. Taylor is inside with the curtains drawn, blocking out the outside world, looking hopeless with her head in her hand and phone in the other. The old phone could be a reference to the one she uses in the Anti Hero mv to call for help, so maybe she’s trying to call for help here and no one is answering. Or it could be a nod to the red phone from MMWM which many have pointed out could be a reference to the ‘red telephone’ Moscow-Washington hotline during Soviet times, which was used to deliver encoded messages. I like this interpretation, because the way she’s holding the receiver looking so devastated really gives me the vibe of someone who’s been on the phone with a person for ages who is just not getting the message. Almost like someone whose constant flags and encoded messages are falling on deaf ears (to a large majority)… I’ve also noticed that there is a framed photo of two people on the table in this house where she supposedly paces the floors alone at night, but can’t really make out enough to say anything more than that.

Now for the text: I’m by no means the first person to point out that the ‘lanterns lit… out searching’ is from one of Emily Dickinson’s letters to her lover Sue which seems a fitting comparison for Taylor, the writer of many lyrical love letters to her muse and lover. But what really gets me is the sentence

‘Just maybe, when the clock strikes twelve … we’ll meet ourselves.’ Why the ellipse? The sentence would have made perfect sense without this, so why add that deliberate suspense?  What happens when the clock strikes 12? In the following months we also got the ‘it’s a clock’ video announcing that the four midnights vinyl covers together make a clock, and then the Eras tour literally starts with a countdown to midnight. Clocks ticking down to 12 are also in both the Bejewelled and Karma mv, so safe to say this means something. The obvious one is the Cinderella connection, which was probably an Easter egg for the Bejewelled mv, but if that’s all it was then it could have stopped after the video was out. Notably also, Cinderella’s party ends at midnight, whereas Taylor’s starts both in the mv and on tour. Midnight is the first minute of a new day, so this seems a lot more about new beginnings for me, than eternal darkness. I’ve pointed out in a previous post that Taylor references the song ‘Naughty’ from Matilda the musical in her Eras tour performance of Anti Hero. That song not only references Cinderella heavily, it also includes the lyrics ‘Every day starts with a tick of a clock/ All escapes start with the click of a lock.’ So… interesting that the announcement post mentions both ticking clocks and cages. Is she escaping from her self-made cage at the strike of midnight? Which brings us to the final, but very loaded, sentence of the announcement.

Meet ME! At Midnight

Before you come at me, yes I know, that’s not how it’s written. It’s meet me, not ME!, but that would be first and foremost, way too obvious, wouldn’t it. I still think that this is where she is taking us with this sentence, back to the beginning of the Lover era, the dawn of daylight, if you will. If you need a reminder, ME! was the first single off of Lover and kickstarted the sunshine and rainbows parade that was meant to be her coming out with the glorious ME! OUT NOW post on Lesbian Visibility Day in April 2019. This whole summer has felt strangely similar to that, with cruel summer becoming a single and playing endlessly on the radio, Taylor being unashamedly queer in public and surrounding herself with other queer artists, gaylor discourse in mainstream media outlets, and then of course, Karlie Kloss of all people showing up to the last LA show. The congratulatory comments under GLAAD’s instagram post from the VMAs felt much the same to me as the ones under TN’s post of the ‘proud’ bracelet back in 2019. The people that get it, get it. We are officially in the soft launch period.

So, is there going to be a hard launch? Maybe. With all this open queerness I could totally see her just gradually turning it up until she gets photographed kissing a woman in public one day and it’ll just be a case of ‘deadass thought I made it obvious’… But the lesson from the 2019 (not so soft) soft launch was that a lot of people would still rather default to accusations of queerbaiting than assume that she is queer herself (as shown by what happened to Kit Connor last year), and I’m sure she wouldn’t want that again. For that reason, and the fact that she did have a plan to explicitly come out in the past, I think she may have another go in the future, whatever form that may take. One thing I will say, as it ties into this midnights to daylight theme, is this:

With all this clock/countdown imagery, it is notable that the three different versions we have so far of the midnights album are all chronological on a clock. Starting at the top, we have midnights, then the 3am edition, then ‘dawn’ which is around 6am, so to complete the circle we’d need a 9am (or near enough) version. I know that seems unlikely, as 9am is definitely morning and not night anymore, but maybe that’s the point, that at the end of midnights we have a daylight version. ‘You’re loosing me’ is still not officially out on streaming so there is a glimmer of hope that maybe one more version is coming.

What era are we actually in…?

It’s hard to remember that we are actually still in the midnights era with all the re-releases stealing the show and the throwback to lover with cruel summer. But given that the masters heist foiled her plans to come out and made Daylight into Lover, it makes total sense that the 'midnights to daylight' era is the one that includes those important re-releases to further this journey.

She has made so many positive changes and additions to these ‘Taylor’s versions’ that I think it’s just as much about owning her work, as it is about owning the narrative she puts out there. And on that note, it may not be a coincidence that the titles that Taylor has left to reclaim now are her birth year, her name and her reputation, all things that are intrinsically linked to her, and she has arguably never been more authentically queer out in the open. I’m not saying these next three re-releases are suddenly going to have she/her pronouns, but they may have vault tracks that would never have made the cut back in the day. And if we thought the 2017 version of rep was already unbelievably gay… I won’t make any predictions for the tv, but I have high hopes.😊 And I still think that if we end with debut (tv) in June 2024 (Pride month), then ‘TAYLOR SWIFT OUT NOW’ isn’t looking too far-fetched.  And I recon if I was putting out something called MY version of MY name, I'd want to make sure that it absolutely reflects who I am. It did surprise me initially that debut wasn't the first album to be re-released and it's in fact now looking likely to be the last one, but it makes sense if she is using it as an opportunity to go back to the beginning and re-write the story. What a boss move that would be: ‘My version of ME, OUT NOW’ and maybe she really means it this time.

My prediction is, that the end of the midnights era will also be the end of the re-releases (some time next year) and with the final one we end the night and step into the daylight. ☀🌈

[lee-writes-things]

☆ the hawthorne brothers+ avery, max, libby, rebecca, and thea during the eras tour ☆

a/n: co-written by @nutellani and i. this was originally just going to be stored in my notes app because i had a big brain thought but then i decided that tumblr doesn't have enough tig content and i needed to help change that. i got stumped on a few things, so i of course asked my lovely mutual nova for some assistance <3 (tysm!!)

aaaanway, enough about that, here you go:

they obvi went to the concert in texas. they probably got tickets for both arlington and houston bc rich people yk

nash wore a sparkly cowboy hat and so did libby

(idc what you say, in my head, he likes glitter and i will stand on that hill)

in fact they all wore sparkly cowboy hats (xander forced grayson), but nash and libby's were matching

grayson ofc is wearing all black, very rep era but he's secretly a lover girl at heart. he also likes midnights because let's face it- who doesn't??

but everyone convinced him to get his jacket embroidered with "ts" and a few snakes along the sleeves and back to pull together the whole rep look

i don't think i finished talking about nash and libby?? anyway, matching sequin cowboy hats, nash wore a flannel with patches from different albums

him and libby spent a whole night designing it

libby wore a tee shirt from the midnights album

and the night before, nash and libby painted her favorite lyrics on some black cargo pants and some cute lil doodles

nash totally wrote N+L on one of the pockets inside a big red heart because i said so

very cute couple moment

thea is in her rep era because she's a badass so she wore all black with some maroon to make her outfit pop, she got her nails done and everything

girl was drop dead gorgeous

rebecca went with a more simplistic look, lavender flowly dress just under the knee, with a cardigan. yes, the cardigan. rebecca gives off very mellow and soft vibes so i think that's why she went with an evermore themed outfit

now, onto avery. i think her favorite albums is midnights and rep because of the vibe of the songs and overall it is just SO HER and i feel like she wore a shirt with the midnights album cover on it. she also wrote her favorite lyrics from the album on the front of the shirt with a fabric pen or something of the sort. i can also see her wearing a rep outfit too tho!! she is rich so since she could go to two concerts and wear both outfits ig lol

jameson is a total swiftie!! xander is too but we'll get to that next this boy would really like 1989 and a good handful of songs from lover because they remind him of avery

he would wear something 1989 themed but also something sorta flashy, i think

now moving onto max

she for sure loves the love triangle in folklore/evermore but also enjoys midnights

she radiates night owl energy because she'll stay up until 4am to finish a really good plot twisty dark romance novel and the whole track (midnights 3am edition) reminds her of her favorite ships. she makes edits and you can't convince me otherwise. although max does love evermore, she would totally love speak now era taylor and therefore would wear that really pretty purple sparky dress on the album cover!!

xander totally bought it for her

and with max looking like a literal princess, he would be mad blushing

and when he snaps out of his daze, he would tell her how pretty she is because let's face it- max is beautiful

now, as mentioned before, xander is a hardcore swiftie and i will always think this

he is a lover lover, so definitely went with a hat of the colors on the album

totally bitch-slapped toxic masculinity in the face by wearing pretty pastels

and definitely had the jacket from the yntcd MV!!

their favorite eras (and moments i suppose) on tour:

nash: debut, fearless

we love his nomad cowboy vibes

he also definitely vibes along with whatever libby likes too because he's down bad-

anyway

grayson: red

definitely shed a few tears during all too well ten minute version even though he tried to hide it

cus it reminded him of emily

i hate her with a passion

this isn't about her though

he loved the song and performance for 22 since he's in his 20's and his family is always telling him to loosen up

attending this concert definitely helped him

jameson: 1989

screaming along to style for sure!! me and nova were talking a bit about how he fits the description-

Exhibit A, "you got that James Dean daydream look in your eyes" is so him!!

Exhibit B, because i said so

me and nova totally weren't fangirling over this, i have no idea what you're talking about-

xander: lover

xander fs would start dancing with max and singing softly when taylor sang lover

and nash caught it all on camera

such a cute candid moment

i love xander+max with everything in me

libby: midnights

more specifically, WCS because she could relate to "give me back my girlhood, it was mine first"

fuck drake

i know that she wasn't a teen when they were in a relationship but she was still young, and he was toxic asf

aaaanyway, she would also love when tay performed vigilante shit

tay slayed so hard (i had to tell myself to turn down the gay because my mom and sister were at the concert with me lmao)

everyone felt things when taylor did that performance, to say the least

ik thea and practically everyone else would be in awe~

thea: reputation

would scream along to don't blame me

and she would sound amazing because there's nothing she can't do bffr

and rebecca would be like "damn how'd i get so lucky"

thea would also love karma from midnights because i feel like she's the type of person to not give af about other people and their opinions cus she knows that bad things are coming their way

"me and karma vibe like that" is so her

but she could also shit talk and stand her ground (and also fight)

i also think that that one part of don't blame me, "don't blame me, love made me crazy if it doesn't, you ain't doing it right" and "my drug is my baby" she would sing while making eye contact with rebecca

rebecca: evermore (and folklore obvi)

she would sing and sway softly and thea would take such a beautiful candid photo of her while she sings aksjaja

and when cardigan plays, she would grab thea's hand and dance with her, foreheads touching

this time, xander would take a photo of them like that and it becomes thea's homescreen

thea would also love champagne problems omfg-

rep gf x evermore gf is such a cute dynamic and they slayed so hard

and nowww avery: rep and also midnights!!

would love getaway car with a PASSION

it's just so her <33

"you were driving the getaway car" is very averyjameson even tho the rest of the lyrics aren't lol

she would love mastermind and especially the lyrics "you knew that im a mastermind and now you're mine"

and Paris!!

both songs are so averyjameson coded

"im so in love i might stop breathing drew a map on your bedroom ceiling" and "no i didn't see the news cause we were somewhere else" ajdjjahd

it's THEIR song and i will defend that till the day i die

bonus: i almost forgot to include oren and alisa, im so sorry, im very sleepy!! anyway, oren refuses to wear anything other than his usual attire meanwhile this concert is one ofbthe very few instances where you see alisa in casual clothes. not many people know (other than the hawthornes of course) that she's a swiftie because she always acts so professional. she wears that one red letters shirt that says "who's taylor swift, anyway? ew." and everyone does a double take cus she also has her hair down and doesn't look formal lmao. during some songs avery looks over her shoulder and swears she could see oren have the slightest smile and head-bumping along to the music.

to wrap it all up, they would ALL HAVE THE NUMBER 13 PAINTED ON THEIR HANDS IN DIFFERENT COLORS AND FONTS!!

and also a little extra because me and nova were having big brain moments and i HAVE to include it, it would be a crime if i didn't

They would all scream to paper rings but guess what else?? a PROPOSAL!!

my nashlibby brainrot needed to be included even more:

"i love shiny things but id marry you with paper rings" is so them because even tho they're rich, they value the little things <3

libby is so into the performance, it takes her a minute to realize that the stage screen is on her

she's confused because why would the cameras be on her??

and then taylor would point just behind her to where nash was on one knee

the ring wasn't shiny, it was literally a paper ring

nash didn't have a full on speech planned out

but of course libby would say yes

they kiss, it's on the big screen and everyone (taylor, backup dancers, everyone) cheers

it was caught on camera by practically everyone which leads to their engagement going viral all over tik tok and other media platforms!!

after the concert, back at Hawthorne House, they made a resin/epoxy(i think that's what it's called) mold to preserve the ring, and keep it from getting damaged

and the end because not only can i not think of anything else, but it's 4am while i save this to my drafts-

p.s. huge thank you again to @nutellani, you helped me with this so much when i was having a brain block. you have wonderful input, and i owe you big time!!

(majority of how we got more ideas was thru incoherent fangirling over taylor and tig haha)

Alison's Allusions & Alliterations (Pt. 2 - evermore's entanglements ❄️❄️❄️)

link for pt. 1 - lover's links 💖💖💖

In honor of RED TV coming out tomorrow, i thought it was finally time to talk about the album whose photoshoot, red tv got its album cover from :'''') <33333.

So without further ado, let's talk evermore...

I don't know what it means, but from what i remember, dorothea and long story short were the songs that had taylor in her red tv outfit.

for dorothea, i think it's possible that it's because she dated someone in the red era that resembled dorothea's name. starts with a d, ends with an a?

and long story short's the easiest thread since it's "long story short, i survived" after all.

now, time to talk about the things that are exclusively evermore. cause i think one of the primary themes and concepts of evermore is the subject of deception and secrets.

i saw a (imo) GENIUS theory that said that the dude in the willow video was taylor's male persona.

and THEY HAD SO MANY THREADS EXPLAINING IT THAT IT CONVINCED ME.

AND THE FACT THAT SO MANY OTHER HINTS AND THEMES IN THE ALBUM WERE RELATED TO THE SAME THING!

I JUST THINK THE THEORY HOLDS CREDENCE.

AND I MEAN- COME ON. DID NO ONE NOTICE HOW TAYLOR WORE BLUE AND THE DUDE WEAR PINK?

THE WHOLE FLIPPING GENDER NORMS THING???

NO ONE?? ANYONE????

(ALSO IF YOU CAN HIT A GIRL UP WITH THAT TUMBLR POST THAT POSTED A TWITTER THREAD EXPLAINING THE THEORY IT'D MEAN THE WORLD. MADE DEMON DEALS WITH GOOGLE & EVERYTHING AND I STILL COULDNT FIND THE POST TTTOOOTTTT)

sigh.. but okay, i wanna explain more of the secrets i think are in evermore.

HONESTLY ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS THAT CONVINCE ME THAT THE WILLOW THEORY OF TAYLOR ASSUMING A MALE PERSONA IS THE FREAKING FACT THAT THE PSEUDONYM OF HER BEARD IS FREAKING WILL.

the pseudonym of her male persona, the role she puts up to make the songs seem straighter is william bowery.

she had j*e as co-writer to songs that i think would make people think that they were queer.

(BETTY & EXILE, SHE EVEN HAD JUSTIN VERNON SING THE PARTS THAT I THINK TAYLOR WAS TRULY FEELING IMO)

but since her beard was a co-writer... she provided them with the bait ;)

(EVERY BAIT & SWITCH WAS A WORK OF ART)

AND ALSO, TAYLOR IS WILLIAM BOWERY NOT ONLY CAUSE SHE FUCKING SAID SHE WAS WILLOW

BUT I SAW TAYLOR TALK ABOUT WILLIAM WORDSWORTH SOMEWHERE, REGARDING THE LAKES

AND JFC

I've come too far to watch some namedropping sleaze Tell me what are my WORDS WORTH

SHE'S FREAKING WILLIAM WORDSWORTH AND THAT'S WHERE THE WILLIAM FOR THE PSEUDONYM FUCKING CAME FROM.

AND OMFG

I could definitely be wrong about this, but...

BOWery...

ARCHERY

THE ARCHER????????

but nah, i also know that she's stayed at some hotel called the bowery too so who knows maybe it's both things

BUT I MEAN COME ON

BAIT & SWITCH AND HER BEING WILLIAM AND HER BEING THE ARCHER AND PUTTING IT IN THE NAME???????????

IT MAKES TOO MUCH SENSE!!!!!

IN 1989, ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT SONGS, IMO IS I KNOW PLACES.

AND I'M SORRY, BUT IT TRULY JUST GAVE ME-

THE FACT THAT I KNOW PLACES IS HONESTLY SO FUCKING UNKNOWN AND BURIED UNDERNEATH ALL THE ICONIC MAINSTREAM KNOWN SINGLES

AND IT'S ONE OF THE MOST OPENLY GAYEST IMO

JUST MAKES ME THINK THAT TAYLOR DID THE SAME THING FOR FOLKLOREVERMORE

SHE PUT THE GAYEST SONGS AT THE END, BURYING THEM, HIDING THEM AFTER THE CATCHY ICONIC SINGLES

(because she knows places where to hide, where people will pay less attention, AND SHE WAS RIGHT. PEOPLE HARDLY PAID ATTENTION TO EVERMORE LIKE PEOPLE HARDLY PAID ATTENTION TO THE LATTER HALF OF 1989 THAT HAD I KNOW PLACES WONDERLAND AND THE BUTTERFLIES REFERENCE TO EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED IN CLEAN)

AFTER THE POPULAR MAINSTREAM FOLKLORE WHERE SHE HAS TO LIE AND HIDE AND EXPLAIN AWAY THE GAY

IN EVERMORE, SHE CAN JUST STAY SILENT AND LET THE SONGS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES

SHE'S HIDING.

AND THAT'S WHY SHE HAS HER BACK TURNED TO US, YOU FU-

but sighhhhhhh...

okay. the last few proofs of taylor flipping the scripts or roles in evermore is in champagne problems and ivy.

in champagne problems, where you're listening to the perspective of the woman who said no,

i'm sorry but it just EERILY sounds like taylor was just describing what she was feeling in the second person perspective.

you booked the night train for a reason, you couldn't keep it in, your heart was glass i dropped it.

she flipped the script, hid under a persona.

the persona of the person who broke her heart.

and she did the same thing in ivy, where instead of the mistress, she was the woman in the relationship

OMFG HEY!!! WHAT DO YOU THINK *THIS* MEANS, MAH SWIFTIES??????????????????????

OH MY FUCKING GOD I DIDN'T EVEN FUCKING NOTICE THE FUCKING SNAKES IN THE POSTER IN THE BACKGROUND JFC

CAUSE HEY!!!! REMEMBER HOW THERE WAS THAT BLACK WOMAN THAT WOULD BE WITH TAYLOR ALL THE TIME IN THE ENDGAME MV?????

AND HEY!!!! REMEMBER WHAT I JUST FUCKING SAID ABOUT THE ASIAN DUDE BEING TAYLOR'S MALE PERSONA?

AND OH MY FUCKING LORD. IS THAT...

NOO!! IT'S...

IT'S AN ASIAN BLONDE, PEOPLE!!!!

WHAT THE FUCK DO YALLS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT?????!!!!!!!!!????????

sigh...

she... she even has the three seats/people thing in rwylm. where one was by it's lonesome on the other side...

sigh....

but okay, let's end this out with something beautiful poetic and awesome.

no matter the hidden secret themes of duplicity and flipped personas in evermore, the most important, poignant, and significant theme of all is ofc, moving on.

and no song says that better, imo, than happiness.

its spotify video was the album cover, after all.

taylor's picture in the album cover, the spotify video for happiness was the camera spinning around taylor in that moment of the album cover photo.

same exact look, clothes, and place.

happiness signified moving on.

if folklore was about being right in the middle of the woods.

being so tiny and absorbed and consumed and lost in it.

being right in the muck of the grief, loss, and heartbreak.

evermore is the next part of that journey, you start to get away from it all. you start to acknowledge the respect you deserved. the pain feels further away and more mundane. you even try to assume & take on what your beloved's side was.

if folklore was taylor being lost & consumed inside of the woods

evermore is taylor being out of it, looking back on it all.

looking back at the old her who was in the woods.

told you it was awesome ;D.

anyways, another cool thing about evermore is how after folklore, you wonder if the track 5 was the song that taylor also solo wrote.

BUT IT WASN'T. IT WAS NO BODY, NO CRIME WHICH IS JUST SO QUI-

WAIT, I'M NOT EVEN DONE YET.

NO BODY NO CRIME ALSO TALKS OF A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TWO WOMEN OF WHICH THE HUSBAND WAS THE DOWNFALL.

AND SO IT JUST REEKED OF PETTINESS AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

SHE LITERALLY WROTE ABOUT KILLING THE DUDE >>>>>>:D

BUUUUTTTT, AFTER WRITING THE PETTIEST SONG EVER, SHE DECIDES TO FOLLOW IT UP WITH THE MOST MATURE, THE FREAKING THEME OF EVERMORE SONG EVER,

happiness...

that's quintessential taylor.

she's my soulmate. i feel like i understand her and she understands me like no other.

this woman is my life.

she & her careful calculated precision of storytelling deserves the love and the universe and everything.

THE FREAKING UNIVERSE AND INFINITE TAPESTRY OF HER STORIES DESERVES TO BE DISSECTED AND TALKED ABOUT AND APPRECIATED.

she's going to bless us with red tv tomorrow.

she's making the jump onto full on film-making.

(SHE WAS ALWAYS HEADED THIS WAY. SHE'S A ONCE IN A GENERATION, GENERATION DEFINING STORYTELLER)

THE LEAST I CAN DO IS SHOUT TO THE WORLD HOW INCREDIBLE HER LOVE FILLED SOUL STITCHED STORIES ARE TTTOOOOTTTT

SHE PUTS SO MUCH FUCKING CARE INTO BUILDING THIS EPIC TAPESTRY UNIVERSE OF SONGS, LOVE, LIFE, AND STORIES, GUYS TTTOOOOOTTTTTTT.

WE ALL NEED TO TELL HER HOW MUCH WE LOVE HER AND VALUE HER FOR IT TTTOOOOOOTTTTTTTT.

@taylorswift I LOVE YOU, YOU'RE MY LIFE. I'VE RANKED ALL OF YOUR SONGS ALREADY (except the christmas ones cause i plan on listening to em only once the holidays arrive so i can really feel it heh :''') EVEN BEFORE I WATCHED YOUR TINY DESK WHERE YOU SAID YOU LOVE IT WHEN PEOPLE DO THAT.

AND THE ONLY REASON I HAVEN'T MADE A VIDEO ON THEM YET IS CAUSE I NEED TO REARRANGE THEM AGAIN CAUSE I FEEL THAT'S WHAT YOUR SONGS DESERVE.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY AND HEALTHY AND I LOVE YOUUUUUUU TTTTOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTT.

I WOULD AND COULD AND PROBABLY WILL LISTEN TO YOU FOREVER, NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO.

BUT I SINCERELY WITH ALL MY HEART SELFISHLY HOPE THAT I GET TO HEAR NEW SONGS FROM YOU UNTIL I DIE TTTOOOOOOTTTTTTTTT

BUT I DIGRESS, JUST KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU SO MUCH TAYLOR.

I CAN'T WAIT TO CELEBRATE RED TV WITH YOUUU!!! TTTOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTT

may our love last, and your brilliant genius storytelling & songs & music & love live on, evermore :'''') <33333...

oh but speaking of evermore, i like to think that there's big sweeping era arcs among the eras. so like, debut-fearless-speak now. red-1989-rep. lover-folklore-evermore.

and that every section has special threads. so like the first albums per arc, have a special connection. like debut, red, and lover (which i talk about in my lover's links post).

so evermore is the last album of this current era arc. and, i just adore that it has a connection to one of my favorite albums and songs ever.

speak now, mine.

which is also an era arc album ender :'''').

mine has the lyric "when it was hard to take, yes, yes, this is what i thought about"

and evermore has the lyric "when i was shipwrecked, i thought of you"
