[minnesotasoccermom]

not to praise a man I barely know but travis seems like a nice guy and it's extremely cool that he's been keeping an eye on taylor then pretty much just devised a prince charming-esque respectful wholesome plan to win her heart and it's totally working, maybe love is a real thing in this world after all

[baby-girl-aaron-dessner]

Taylor, do you still care about being on the right side of history?

[bugsandboos]

everybody moved on…

HELP. IM STILL. AT THE RESTAURANT.

[abominandus]

and now for steven taylor sunday (sequel to this)

[tonysdumplings]

relistening to pre-MIDnights catalogue of Taylor Swift's music and wow. I forgot that she's actually like... an incredible musician. she just decided not to be this good at making music anymore, which is crazy

[stalebagels]

I just realized I've never just straight out asked who everyone's favorite host is, so here's a little poll.

(I forgot polls have a limited amount of options so if you don't see your guy or gal please tell me in the comments/tags who it is and why! I need to be enlightened)

[pyxilatezero]

You can’t tell me you don’t get boy band vibes from them

They would totally be REMRK [rEA-mArk] (Rae, Elsa, Malori, Ruby, and Kana) with Himari as their manager:

They’d totally sing “Better Place” by *NSYNC and you cannot change my mind

omfg imagine them doing that in suits

the brain rot is real

Karedevil (Taylor's Version)

Thanks @kdheaven for the prompt! Apologies for the delay.

The most Karedevil song on each Taylor Swift album, with rationales, according to me:

Debut: Tied Together With A Smile

I think this song encapsulates how both Matt and Karen present the image to others that they have their sh*t together, but on the inside they're really hurting. The second verse really gets me: "I guess it's true that love was all you wanted / 'Cause you're giving it away like it's extra change / Hoping it will end up in his pocket / But he leaves you out like a penny in the rain / Oh, 'cause it's not his price to pay." You can think of Matt's relationship with Stick and Karen's relationship with her dad this way. I like to think that by the end of the show they each have a more real vision of the other.

Fearless: Come In With The Rain

This feels very post-Defenders/early Season 3 from Karen's POV. At that point, everyone but Karen thinks Matt is dead. She doesn't get any proof of this until several episodes into S3, but she always has that hope. She's also dealing with a lot of complicated emotions toward Matt - she still loves him (obv) but she's also really mad at him and grieving the fact that he's not around. I'm sure even Karen questioned whether Matt was still alive at some point. I can see her going to bed with her window open just in case.

Speak Now: I Can See You

I love @kdheaven's pick of "Sparks Fly" but this one is so spot-on in my mind. I love the irony of the title because Matt is blind but he can "see" Karen in a way no one else can. "And we kept everything professional / But something's changed, it's something I like" fits them, as well as "I can see you being my addiction / You can see me as a secret mission / Hide away and I will stop behaving myself." I love this one for them!

Red: Forever Winter

I think this song is a great musical representation of S3 Karedevil. The facades have fallen and they've gotten to see each other's self-destructive tendencies and said "I love you even at your darkest / And please don't go." "He seems fine most of the time, forcing smiles and never minds" is an apt description of Matt.

1989: You Are In Love

Again, love @kdheaven's pick of "This Love." But the chorus is what really does it for me: "You can hear it in the silence / You can feel it on the way home / You can see it with the lights out / You're in love, true love." 'Nuff said.

reputation: New Year's Day

To me, this song represents Matt and Karen's commitment to support each other, no matter what. Again, all the cards are on the table, and they're still willing to show up for each other, "When you're lost and I'm scared and you're turning away...When it's hard or it's wrong or we're making mistakes." The second verse seems particularly applicable as a message from Karen to Matt: "I'll be there if you're the toast of the town, babe / Or if you strike out and you're crawling home." Daredevil is morally gray, and I'm sure lots of people have lots of different opinions about him. But Karen has always stood by him. Also, New Year's Day is a day typically associated with New York here in the U.S.

Lover: Cruel Summer

This entire song screams Karedevil to me. I think it's particularly applicable to their early relationship, when they're still figuring each other out. There's a lot of feelings there, but it's fragile because it's new and they're hiding so much. "Breakable heaven" indeed. And then there's "He looks up grinning like a devil." ;)

folklore: peace

I'm 100% with @kdheaven on this one. The only thing I can say that they didn't already is that Matt and Karen both have chaos in their souls. This song is basically them saying "Here I am. This is me. Is this enough?" I also really love the "sit with you in the trenches" line for them. They're both willing to get their hands dirty for each other.

evermore: willow

I think this song follows the arc of their relationship really well. The first verse makes me think of their first meeting, when Karen is "rough on the surface" because of the charges leveled against her but Matt "cut through like a knife" and believed she didn't do it when no one else did.

The second verse coincides with when they start dating. They're idolizing each other, seeing each other as "a mythical thing." "Head on the pillow, I can feel you sneaking in" always gives me the image of Matt coming home after a long night of Daredeviling and crawling into bed next to Karen.

Then the last verse: they know the truth and have shown each other "the places where the others gave you scars." I also love the legal references throughout the song: "open-shut case" and "every bait-and-switch was a work of art." I can imagine Karen sitting in the gallery of a courtroom with a huge smile on her face as she watches Matt absolutely kill it.

Midnights: Karma

"Karma is my boyfriend" propels this song to the top of the list. Is there a more fitting description of Matt from Karen's POV? I will die on the hill that Karen was never mad at Matt for being Daredevil. She's always been a fan, even before she knew who Daredevil really was. And after that, her issue was that he didn't tell her. She's always been and, in my opinion, will continue to be proud of him and what he does on both sides of the law.

TTPD: The Albatross

In an effort to not end this post on a super sad note, I'm picking this song (though MBOBHFT is, unfortunately, also fitting). This one has a similar vibe to "peace," though I see this one a little more from Matt's POV than Karen's. Stick taught Matt that relationships are dangerous--for him and for the other person. So he tries to keep everyone at arm's length. Karen ignores all of that. She still loves him, even though she knows who Matt is and that being associated with him is potentially dangerous for her. I hear Matt in the lines "The devil that you know / Looks now more like an angel / I'm the life you chose / And all this terrible danger."

Thanks again to @kdheaven for the opportunity to combine my two obsessions!

[beargyufairy]

I thought I saw you at the bus stop

I didn't though…

[urfavsecretgirl]

i love sweet dreams tn sm yall don't get this song like me. i was literally never truly in love with someone. i maybe had "crushes" when i was very young but i wasn't IN LOVE. i always had celebrity crushes. but that song makes me feel like i'm (healthy) in love with someone who is so beautiful inside and out and it makes me giggle, scream, throwing up, crying like stfu.

even my mom adores this song sm like yes I GET YOU MOM

[baby-girl-aaron-dessner]

A reminder to my fellow Swifties:

Taylor attending a comedy show presented by an activist and collaborating with an artist who is an activist does NOT mean that Taylor is an activist.

Please stop praising her for the work of other artists. If she wanted to, she could use her huge platform to engage with important issues. Instead, she chooses not to.

[footagenotfound]

Ok completely random thought, but where were the Hernandez's getting their money from? Did they just have a shit ton of savings? After Ethan died, Mariana seemed far too grief stricken to even leave her bed, let alone work. Was another family member helping financially?

[kezcore]

i hate to break it to you, millennials, but gen z does, in fact, know what dvds and cds are. we grew up with them. we grew up with a lot of stuff y'all obsess over, actually. not my fault all the tech companies collectively decided to get rid of dvd players

A stranger who's laughter I recognise in a room full of people.

on a march aternoon, we became strangers. now i hold back my smile when i see you from across the street. now i don't go running, recklessly crossing the street unbothered of the traffic. i pretend to forget the birthday i once planned surprises on. i still have your playlist, but now it's two separate devices the songs are being played on. i still read your favourite book. i still play your favourite sport. in a room full of people, i can still recognise your laughter.

it's better this way, apart, because in a room full of people, you will never recognise my voice, even if my heart is calling out your name. to you, i will be one of the many you charmed. to me, you'll be the only one i ever let my guards down for. so it's better this way, apart.
