[nemotakeit]

i wish i could go to the clancy tour :( they don't come anywhere near here

[love4hobi]

sorry to be negative but i feel like it's not only bts that has gotten bad recently it's also army, i haven't loved their recent releases and even friends have turned their backs on me because i've tweeted about it when i thought it was fine voicing my opinion :( i am not a fan of many groups and i don't care for drama but sometimes it's like they're doing all the bad things they swear other groups' fans do, i miss it when we all had fun even with other groups' fans now if you interact with anyone else you get put in an anti category or something like that :( lately it feels like you can't say anything and i understand bts get a lot of hate but the hate they used to get pre fame era does not compare to the things armys say about other groups or the way they treat fans they don't agree with :/ and i'm a fan!! i've been for so long!! i just want my boys back :( so i don't understand why they use the hate bts get as an excuse when i bet they weren't even here for persona lmao it makes me sad because bts was my safe haven for a long time and in the span of a year it seems like everything got ruined :( i sincerely hope their music gets better after the pandemic if there even is bts after the pandemic, i keep wondering if these are hyung line's last comebacks and i want to cry thinking this english music and american promotions are what they will remember instead of their amazing music and everything they mean for armys. is success an money all they care about because it seems like that to me :(

no ur good ur totally right!! im sorry thats happened to u that sucks but theyre not good friends anyway if they care more about seven strangers than u! i think about this sometimes too like ive only been a fan since 2017/2018 but it feels like this obsession with streaming and just devoting all ur energy to these people who dont know u exist has only been around since 2020? late 2019 at earliest? and yet new fans (literally mots7 era and newer even though they act like veterans) act like its the way things have always been and that its normal when its really not. its not normal its weird and unhealthy!and things Definitely used to be less intense and more enjoyable! and i think the problem of people just saying the most awful things to other people and doxxing them n stuff is definitely an issue the whole internet has developed in recent years, but yes armies definitely have a big problem with it. some are such hypocrites too ur right they praise bts for promoting love and kindness and then turn around and completely contradict themselves when anyone else says anything mildly negative or critical about the boys. anyway i hope their music gets back to normal too 🥺 and i dont think we have to worry abt enlistment quite yet they definitely seem like theyre gonna keep pushing that back as long they can i think they really wanna get one last tour out,, and i dont think they officially Have to go until the end of 2022 if im not mistaken? idk but the boys themselves still seem to be the same genuine humble people theyve always been, and i will continue to blame columbia records for yhe direction theyve taken during the pandemic until i get proven otherwise 😁 i cant help but think they might just be tired u know? theyve been grinding non stop for over 8 years with only one month long “break” in all that time (when some of them were still working even during that time)? theres no way there isnt some serious fatigue catching up to them, and that might be why theyre going along with what their record label wants more willingly, up until they do enlist which will be the first actual sort of rest theyve received since debuting :/ so while i criticize their recent releases i do think they should be cut some slack, i just wish if they were gonna do that they would actually let them rest instead of still putting out these half assed songs in the meantime u kno

A little about me!

So uh... hi! 

I've been thinking about how much I want to meet @taylorswift and Swifites all around dn the world but I never really post anything here about me, so why would she or anyone be like "oh yes, i want to meet her too" I mean for all we know I could be a crazy person right? (I've watched way too many crime-drama shows, I'm so sorry, DUN DUN). Well here I go. 

My name is Grace, I was born and raised in Venezuela. I'm 27 years old. I graduated from Law school when I was 24 and that same year I moved out of my home country, I've lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina and I'm currently living in Medellín, Colombia. Buenos Aires is so pretty I loved it there, I learned so much about myself, but I think I like Medellín better because it reminds me a lot of Venezuela, plus the weather is lovely.

I'm married (got married this year, I've posted a few pictures about it lol) my wedding song was Lover, other songs that define my relationship would be, stay, stay, stay, starlight, daylight, mary's song (one of my favorites lol), crazier, you are in love, this love, fearless, call it what you want... so basically any love song Taylor has ever written lol. I need to mention this because before I started dating my husband I thought I would NEVER relate to these songs, so if you're thinking love is not for you and heart break is all there is, TRUST ME, it is not. 

I became a Swiftie back in 2008, I was about to turn 16. I heard Love Story somewhere and I got obsessed, then I found out she was dating Joe Jonas, and that she was about to release her 2nd album, so I was like WAIT THERE'S ONE ALBUM ALREADY? HOW COME I HAVENT LISTENED IT YET? and that was it, I was hooked, playing her first album on repeat everyday... however that did not prepare me for what was coming up next. 

As soon as I listened to Fearless, I just knew I would stan Taylor my whole life. I was going thro some stuffs back then, I was heart broken for the first time, a good friend of my had died and I felt like i just hated everything, but deep down I was just very very sad. When I look back at who I was back then it makes me wanna cry because I felt so alone... and then this album came out. She shook my world, took my hand and walked me thro all of it. And for that @taylorswift I'm eternally grateful. 

The rest is history. 

Now because I am a Latin Swifite I was not able to see her live until I was living in Buenos Aires and I was financially independent. I had a good life in Venezuela but my parents couldn't afford a trip to the US for a concert, it is really sad to love someone and their work so much and not being able to see them perform live, but I've sworn to myself that it wont happen again, as long as I'm alive (and im not broke of course lol) I will go to every tour of every era. 

I'm not going to lie, sometimes I feel like an outsider in the fandom, most of the time is because I feel old? lol but I dont have like fan accounts, I just have my personal accounts and I'm always spamming them with Taylor lol because I dont feel like I need to separe being a Swiftie from who I am because thats such an important part of my life, however I do get why people do it. I lover her with all my heart and will always support her in the ways I can, but sometimes it does feel like I dont do enough compare to others, I know comparison is poison but i cant help it. I just want to point that out in case someone else feels this way, you're not alone. 

The Reputation tour was truly something else. I cried, laughed, danced, sang all the songs like a lunatic and I was able to enjoy all that with 2 of my best friends. 

I've always dealt with body issues, I was a gymnast for the majority of my childhood and adolescent years and there was a lot of pressure to be thin and maintaining that weight, by the time I was 9 I was counting calories and by the time I was 11 I knew what an eating disorder was. So when Taylor talked about her struggle with her body my heart felt for her but i was also very proud, it takes a lot of strength to do that. Sometimes we are making excuses because we dont wanna face the truth, or we are thinking "Oh no I dont really have an issue" but every so often once someone we look up to does it, it makes us realize that it is ok to seek help. 

Right now I feel a little lost because we are in the middle of this global pandemic and I'm not as happy with my job as i was before (I work remote and have been doing the same thing for 5 years now) I thought 2020 was the year of changes and me finally going out there and finding a new job and maybe study something or learn something new. But I'm working on not being so hard on myself, stop overthinking (but damn its so difficult lol, I always picture the worst case scenario) and just be grateful for what I do have right now. I know there are a lot of people struggling right now and I'm very privileged just to have a roof over my hand, a full stomach, a healthy body and a lovely family. So if youre feeling off right now, its a global thing, we are all in this together, and I feel like this will be over sooner than our crazy minds thing (or at least I HOPE SO lol).

So last but not least a few random facts about me: (cause I dont want to make this already long ass post even longer) 

 I really enjoy dancing, writing, going to the movies, cooking and everything that is make up related. 

I wish i could paint but I think I'd suck. I should give it a try lol.

 I like perfumes that smell like flowers and candy.

i love rainy days when I have nothing to do and sunny days when I'm in a bad mood lol. 

I have a 3 year old dog, his name is Brooklyn and I love him with ALL MY HEART, hes my baby. 

When I moved to Argentina, my bff friend since i was 15 and I lived together, I treasure the moments we shared and I miss him a lot, so as soon as I knew i was moving to Colombia we decided to get a matching tattoo, we got "Cornelia St" because its out favorite song out of Lover and I hope I never lose him. 

And that is it for now! if anyone read this, THANK YOU and feel free to comment anything about yourself! I love to read and learn about other people! 

Have a wonderful day.

the gazette in brazil live report (sort of)

i´m terrible at writing live reports because i never have anything to say other than how amazing it was and how much fun i had lmao but i´m gonna try

i had to move to brazil a month and a half ago for job related reasons (that´s why i disappeared for a while). at first i was really bummed because it meant that i wouldnt be able to see the gazette in europe with my friends anymore but i ended up seeing them in são paulo, meeting new people and having a lot of fun.

first of all, brazilian fans were all super nice to me the entire time. everyone was really surprised at a portuguese gazette fan djsakdjas (we exist! not a lot of us but we´re out there). i loved everyone i met in queue, thanks for helping making this such a nice experience.

actually, while we were waiting, some staff members were filming and interviewing the fans in the queue for the dvd and the brazilian girls next to me started yelling “there´s a portuguese girl over here! talk to her!” and i was like “....oh no..........”  and then they actually came to talk to me..... i almost died honestly. i´m still cringing right now lmao and it was almost a week ago. anyway, i literally blanked out and couldnt think of anything interesting to say. i think i just said i´ve been a fan for 13 years, this would be my fifth time seeing them live (they asked where i´d seen the gazette before) and then they asked me to show them the portuguese flag askjdaskdsa. i hope to god they end up cutting it but if not.... y’all know who i am i guess.

about the live itself: i was kinda far from the stage but i was still able to see them clearly. they were wearing their phase 1 outfits. ruki looked really cute with the bangs i wish he´d keep that style. i must confess i didnt like uruha´s hair before but now i think he looks really good dksakdsa

i saw ninth live before in japan but i dont think i´ll ever get tired of it. it´s such a fun live album. the fans never once stopped moving since the beginning of the live until the end.

a great thing about brazilian fans is that they sing all the lyrics. one of the hardest things about lives in japan for me is that i cant really sing along kadjskd (well, i can but i have to be very quiet) but thankfully in brazil it´s perfectly fine.

ruki was so happy hearing everyone singing all the lyrics to filth in the beauty! he was smiling the entire time, it was so cute. also the chorus during vortex with everyone yelling “i dont want to become fucking garbage like you!” was incredible. so cathartic lmao

the mortal is amazing live. it´s definitely my favourite song from ninth and the one i wanted to hear again the most (well that and ninth odd [redacted]). i´m so happy they played it.

i unfortunately missed the dogma tour so i had never heard dogma live before but they played it in brazil! i was so damn happy i love that song so much. they also played bizarre and ugly from the dogma era (probably something else but i cant remember right now)

i was really surprised when they played shiver. i was not expecting it at all. i´m not a huge fan of the song but it was still nice to hear it live. i was also really surprised at how popular shiver is in brazil? (i guess that´s why they played it) everyone went CRAZY when they played it i was like ??? what is happening? lmao it´s a really popular song over here.

ruki spoke a lot of portuguese it was really cute. i dont really remember much from that he said. i remember he said “somos gazette de tokyo” (we´re the gazette from tokyo) and stuff like “tudo bem?” (how are you). kai also spoke portuguese and honestly i was really impressed. his portuguese is really good! he talked a little bit when they came back for the encore and said “preparados?” (are you ready) and “amo vocês” (i love you guys). 

anyway i had a lot of fun and so did everyone in that room, band included. they seemed to be really happy! i´m glad they´re enjoying the world tour

fellow europeans, it´s up to you now! enjoy the european leg of the tour for me!

also, next time i´ll stop being so damn cheap and i´ll get the vip tickets dkasjdka they seem so nice from all the stories people tell about the meet and greets, i wanna go next time

[hospitalbracelets]

i forgot that you existed is the best one of this era so far (yes i am at the beginning but this is SO GOOD)

cruel summer is so good too and i am legit tearing up because i was so scared that i wasn’t gonna like any of this but i love the first two alsdkfjadf “i dont wanna keep secrets just to keep you” “angels roll their eyes” i cant

the lover vid made the song so so so much better. wish i’d seen that before the lyric vid tbh. but i still think it sounds like a bad song written for riverdale :(

cringe @ the man. i get it, especially for her, but. ugh. everyone’s gonna be talking about how great this one is forever. at least the song is good. can we change the words?? haha

still wish the archer wasn’t so... reverberate-y?

her falsetto kills me. the rest of it is very good. this bridge sounds like... i just paused it to figure it out. two door? vampire weekend? there’s some indie band that uses exactly that same thing.  

the miss americana vERSES AHHHH beautiful. okay this is SO GOOD i really really like this one. THAT GO FIGHT WIN THOUGH!!!! this is the best-written one so far imo

AHHH IM LAUGHING at paper rings omg. cute. pure. good. not pure i take it back i really like this. it feels... alive?? this is such a fun one ugh. it’s like an updated version of ours <3 i know i’m gonna be singing this one forever and ever. so cute and funnnnnnn ahhhhh

can we please eliminate this falsetto noise ahhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHH but the verses are gorgeous and i love it. such a fall song. is this like 21q that it’s about to be awful foreshadowing?? please say no. i never would have thought a and c would separate. 

her voice <3 why do i feel like i’ve heard this one before?? i could cry i just am so happy to be listening to new taylor. this is so exciting. “i look through the windows of this love even though we boarded them up”

was that a patd reference?! hahahaha. i love the “american smile” that’s so cute. this is so cuteeeee it reminds me of sophie and joe. (im already not ready for the next track. been thinking about mr. w’s end for a long time. awsten...) anyway. this one’s another contender for fave. so sweet and cute and good. im definitely going to both nights of tour if she plays here twice. 

“you’ll get better soon cause you have to” oh noooo this whole thing is awsten. “i’ll paint the kitchen neon”????? this is him. this is him. oh no there’s still another minute. oh good it’s over. okay. next.

i don’t want it to end. i don’t want the album to end oh no i’m crying i dont want it to end. this sounds like a 1975 song. is this the one people were calling “forgettable” bc-

yntcd

i like the repetition in the chorus. catchy + good. i’d be interested to know what or who this is about. her voice sounds great. i think this is my favorite vocally so far.

why the heck was this the lead single? i guess i kind of get it but AGAIN with the FALSETTO i can’t handle it. it’s not GOOD. and the bridge. i will never, ever get over the bridge. it’s fun. but again - not GOOD. pleeeaaaasssseeeeeee. at least the video was cute. omg she took out spelling is fun!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!! 

steel drums ooh. i wonder what i’ll wind up thinking of this one. not crazy about it now. she sounds good again though. is she married? lol

LAST TRACK. “i dont wanna look at anything else now that i saw you” AHH. i cant believe its almost over. “i only see daylight” im gonna cry. im so happy for her. i love when she does the half-talking thing yesss taylor. PRETTY. PRETTYYYYYYYY. “now im wide awake” she is making me weak. I LOVEEEEEE the end. OH NOW SHES TALKING. selena vibes. 

THE END I LOVE IT

WHEN IS TOUR im gonna get my cheer outfit ready!!!!
