Can’t get Taylor Swift tickets? See all of Swift’s eras on display at this costume exhibit

NEW YORK

Taylor Swift has been breaking records and delighting fans on the U.S. leg of her Eras Tour, a splashy celebration of her career and new releases since the pandemic.

It’s become a notoriously tough ticket to get.

But on the second floor of the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) in New York City, fans can catch glimpses of Swift’s “eras” for much cheaper. “Taylor Swift: Storyteller,” features dozens of costumes and objects spanning her music videos, tours and awards show performances — from the lace gown she wore when performing “All Too Well” on the Red Tour to the “key to the castle” featured in the video for “Bejeweled."

The goal, museum director Tim Rodgers said, was to explore how Swift uses clothing and props to tell stories — almost as much as she does lyrics. “It’s different than stars that use costumes or fashion in order to enhance themselves,” Rodgers said. “Taylor Swift is using costumes and props like a vocabulary.”

Rodgers said Swift’s team came to MAD with the idea because of another exhibit they hosted — “Queer Maximalism X Machine Dazzle” — featuring the work of artist, performer and costume designer Matthew Flower, also known as Machine Dazzle. “It was totally unexpected,” Rodgers said.

“Taylor Swift: Storyteller” opened ahead of Swift’s three-night stop nearby at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium. Like her concerts, the collection walks visitors through her genre- and decade-spanning career. There's the crystal-encrusted guitar she used when performing her 2010 album “Speak Now,” a hooded bodysuit she wore during her Reputation Stadium Tour, the striped T-shirt she wore in a 2020 photoshoot for “folklore."

“She's a visual storyteller. Everything she does ... it feels very intentional," said Teresa Bocalan, a fan visiting the museum. “So it's really cool to see those outfits up close."

The exhibit, on display through Sept. 4, is accompanied by a playlist of Swift’s music videos — including her short film for the 10 minute version of “All Too Well" — which are projected on screens around the room. Lyrics scrawled in Swift's handwriting adorn key walls in the space.

But perhaps the centerpiece of it all is a more recent piece of Swift’s lore: the flowing red wedding dress she wore in the 2021 video for “I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor’s Version) (From the Vault),” directed by Blake Lively and co-starring Miles Teller. The song, featuring Chris Stapleton, was an addition to the re-released version of her 2012 album “Red.” Adorned with tulle roses, the dress was custom made for Swift by Nicole + Felicia Couture.

In the video, the red gown is a showstopper — or, more literally, a wedding stopper.

In the exhibit, it seems to hold the same power.

“We had people come in and look at that red wedding dress over there and literally start to cry,” Rodgers said of the exhibit's opening weekend. “It is, for a lot of people, almost like a religious experience to see this clothing that Taylor once wore.”

“I'm also super excited to see the ‘I Bet You Think About Me’ dress over there,” said Greta Myers, a student at the Fashion Institute of Technology. “We haven't looked at it yet. I'm saving it."

Monthly Listening: July 2019

I haven’t been updating this blog with individual posts of albums from my daily listening because I unfortunately no longer have the time. Part of that is because I just listen to so much more (as you probably might be able to tell from this stupidly long list) now that I can check out albums at work. And especially because I just consume so much, I still wanted to catalog what I’ve been checking out.

I do still update a monthly Spotify playlist of my listening and finding, and here is July’s. 202 songs! Below is all of the albums/projects I’ve checked out this month.

5 Ways to Add Morning Meetings to Special Ed Classrooms

Shownotes: http://www.coolcatteacher.com/e170 Felicia Durden @drdrdn Friday, October 13, 2017

Vicki: Today we’re talking with Dr. Felicia Durden @drdrdn, author of Morning Meetings for Special Ed Classrooms: 101 Fun Ideas, Creative Activities, and Adaptable Techniques.

Today we’re going to hit on five ideas.

So Felicia, give us our first idea for adding Morning Meetings to the Special Ed Classroom.

Step 1: Set up Your Room for Morning Meetings

Felicia: Hi! Well, one of the first ways that I want to begin by having the Morning Meetings in the Special Education Classroom is to set up your room. Setting up and determining what that space is going to look like is so pivotal to having a Morning Meeting.

In most classrooms, it’s a set area in the classroom – maybe on the carpet, or in an area that’s open where you can bring chairs. But the first thing to even start with the Morning Meeting is to determine where that specified place is going to be that your kids are going to meet with you.

That Morning Meeting area has to be a place where the teacher has prominence so the kids can see you. But you might also be sharing big books or having writing, so you need the space to be open enough where the kids can not only see you, but see the materials that you ‘re presenting as well.

So the first step is to really assess your classroom area and determine where you’re going to hold that Morning Meeting.

Step 2: Think About How You’ll Build Community and Set Expectations

Vicki: Awesome. What’s your second idea?

Felicia: The second thing is that when you do the Morning Meeting, one of the important things to think about is how you’re going to build community.

Morning Meeting is a really special time that you want to make sure that kids feel safe. They’re coming into the room, and you want to build that time when the kids can express themselves. So building community is your second step. Think about how you’re going to teach the rules for Morning Meeting. What are the expectations? That’s a part of community building, because it helps to make that area safe and secure – and really, I like to use the word “sacred.”

You want that Morning Meeting area to be sacred. So you need to think about, “What are my rules and expectations going to be, so that kids know exactly what the expectations are?”

Vicki: And it does make them feel safe to have routines and to know what to expect. It just does create a community of safety, and that kind of starts with structure, doesn’t it?

Felicia: It really does, especially for kids with special needs. Often, part of their IEP goals are social skills. Many have difficulties with connecting with others, and if they don’t feel safe and secure it’s really a challenge. Having that structure and routine, beginning the day that way, sets them off to a good start.

Step 3: Think about Social Development

Vicki: Excellent. OK, what’s your third?

Felicia: My third thing is that you want to think about social development. Think about ways to have the kids take turns. How are they going to alert you that they have a question? Are they going to raise their hand? What are you going to do in that Morning Meeting time to help them with their social development?

Again, this book was written for special education students, but it can be for any student. All kids need to learn how to be good listeners, how to take turns, how to ask questions.

So your third thing to think about in setting up that Morning Meeting time is what social development skills can you hone in on and really focus on during your Morning Meeting.

An example of teaching social development in morning meetings

Vicki: Could you give me one quick example, so we can all understand?

Felicia: Sure. One example would be that possibly the kids are going to have to listen to other kids share their ideas on the carpet. So one of those social skills that you’ll want to teach kids is how to listen when someone is speaking.

You can model that so perfectly during Morning Meetings. As you’re sitting there, you could have kids come up and model it. So have one child ask the question, and then you’re overdramatic and overemphasizing, but you show them what listening looks like and sounds like.

So what I like to do is in the Morning Meeting, it’s a time for kids… They’re feeling safe. It’s a welcoming time… Let’s model and show what proper behavior looks like and how we can develop social skills.

Vicki: And it’s so important when you see that listener recognize it, because sometimes we just focus on inappropriate behavior. We need to hold up the heroes who are doing the correct behavior.

Felicia: Yeah. Right.

Step 4: Think about Content Areas to Include in Morning Meetings

Vicki: OK, what’s the fourth?

Felicia: The fourth thing is to think about content areas that you want to emphasize when you’re in your Morning Meeting.

I think it’s one of the best ways to pre-teach reading skills, mathematical skills, that you’re going to be touching on.

I always used my Morning Meetings when I was a teacher as a way to do read-alouds with kids. Let’s say we’re focusing on character development. I would use my Morning Meeting to pre-teach something that we’re going to teach later on in the day.

Again, we’re writing this book for kids with special needs, and many of them need that pre-teaching so that they’re successful once you get to the lesson itself.

So, my fourth tip is to think about what academic skills you want to hone in on and pre-teach during a Morning Meeting.

Vicki: That’s great advice for all of us. We call it “frontloading” now in some of the techniques I’ve seen. That’s great!

Step 5: Think About Ways to Celebrate During Morning Meetings

What’s our fifth?

Felicia: Our fifth, I think, is my favorite. Think about ways to celebrate during your Morning Meeting.

We have kids who come in with so many cultural experiences, from so many different areas. And we really want to celebrate that difference, and what we have in common.

So think about, “What little gimmicks am I going to have during my Morning Meetings to celebrate?”

We know we’re going to celebrate birthdays.

But how about using the Morning Meetings to celebrate academic success? Let’s say someone is really doing well with a skill that you’ve taught. Using that Morning Meeting as a way as a community as a way to celebrate really helps make this Morning Meeting special.

And it really just ties into one of my first tips – building community. When you build that community, you celebrate together, you talk together about next steps.

So that’s an important part of the Morning Meetings.

Making celebrations appropriate to student preferences

Vicki: Now let’s say you have some kids on the autism spectrum in that Morning Meeting.

You know, some children really struggle with being the center of attention. Are there ways to celebrate without putting the spotlight on them?

Felicia: Absolutely. Sometimes you have to talk to those children and find out, “Can I celebrate you aloud?” Sometimes they don’t want you to, and maybe you can just talk about it in general.

I’ve also seen that maybe they want a buddy to share for them. But that’s a great point. You want to be respectful to the kids and how comfortable they are with that.

We have a lot of students at our campus who are on the autism spectrum. One of the things we work on with them is getting that socialization out there. What we find is that maybe at first they don’t want to celebrate, but as they begin to feel more comfortable and you have that respect and rapport that you’ve built in there with that social development that you’ve taught, they’re going to be more apt to want to be celebrated.

Vicki: That’s true. Every child is precious and different. You’re not recommending cookie cutter responses. You’re recommending customizing to the individual child as you have these Morning Meetings, aren’t you?

Felicia: Right. You have to differentiate.

That’s really one of the key things in the book. There’s not one way.

I have things in there also for gifted students. We have them as well, and sometimes they have difficulty with socialization and being celebrated.

So this is all about differentiation, There is not a cookie cutter, one-way-fits-all, but making it work for that classroom and each individual student in there.

Vicki: So, teachers… Here’s another remarkable idea.

Let’s take a look at Morning Meetings for Special Ed Classrooms – but really all classrooms.

This could be a technique or a strategy that you could use.

Check out the book, Morning Meetings for Special Ed Classrooms: 101 Fun Ideas, Creative Activities, and Adaptable Techniques.

We’ll include a link in the Shownotes.

Thanks for being with us, Felicia!

Felicia: It was my pleasure. Thank you so much.

ListenTo: iAmEnerJi's Retrograde Mix - Music, Mayhem, & Mercury

It's been an interesting couple of weeks.

I promise I have been trying to write something for this blog since I got back from the forest two weekends ago. (See Going Off The Grid - Part I). When I got back that Sunday, I felt like I was bursting with experiences to share and update you all on. But upon my return, after having all of five minutes to breathe and collect myself, I had to jump right into work and my regularly scheduled chaos. The following Tuesday, I was blessed by a friend with a ticket to go see and listen to Deepak Chopra speak at The Florida Theatre (another AMAZING experience), and followed that up with my usual Tuesday night at SoundCloud Sessions with our very own Mas Appeal. The Wednesday after that was insane and things spiraled from there. By the time Saturday rolled around, I was happy to finally have some real time off and excited to hit up Beats Brunch and Bubbly with my crew. However, in the midst of getting ready for that, the news of Felicia Nicole's tragic passing broke and there's been a heavy energy slowly spreading through the ether ever since.

I'm blaming a good portion of that heaviness on Mercury Retrograde.

Maybe blame is a strong word (or maybe NOT, because PERSONALLY, the Retrograde and #RetroShade has been fucking with me so hard), but to deny the obvious and tangible shifts that are going on would be ignorant. Those of us that are aware of and sensitive to the subtle energetic shifts that flow like a current through our collective energy fields know that as much as times like this can really suck (like REALLY), there is always a lesson to be learned within the fray.

Besides the typical chaos and confusion that tends to happen in the realms of communication (hello, writer's block), technology (I know MY phone has been acting so crazy), or any sort of plans you THOUGHT you had, Mercury Retrograde has a way of mischievously digging up all of your latent issues - big and small - and forcing you to deal with yourself in relation to them. Things fall apart, sometimes in the most ridiculous fashion, so that not only are you forced to watch in awe, but you're forced to pay attention, really see what's going on, and address it... Or not - but I suggest you do. Mercury doesn't like to be ignored and this Retrograde in Aries is making it even more fiery and demanding than usual. There's an air of "do as I say or get burned" that's proving to be a veritable pain in the ass. Unless, of course, you listen.

This retrograde I've been put in some uncomfortable spots only to find I can navigate them with ease, if I only surrender to the flow. A very close friend told me yesterday, in the midst of another impromptu cry-fest on my part, that I need to "Let Life Happen." And the interesting thing about that is, whenever I DO let go and let Life do it's thing - everything always seems to work out. Maybe not in the way I wanted or expected, but things DO work out one way or another. That has been the overlying theme or lesson for me in this transition. Perfect example: I got myself all worked up about going into the woods to camp for the first time. So much so that other people started to be concerned for me. But I packed my shit, stuck my chin out, braved BOTH of those dirt roads and had one of the BEST weekends of my life. It was EXACTLY what I needed in ways I wasn't even aware of. Had I let my fear get the best of me, I wouldn't have had such a wonderful experience and been changed forever.

It all boils down to experience and letting go. Letting go of what we think life SHOULD be or is SUPPOSED to be. Letting go of attachment to our ideas and comfort zones. Letting go of the notion that we are totally in control of this life experience. The only thing we can ever control is how we react or respond to the events, puzzles, problems, and tragedies that life brings us. I, myself, have had some hard pills to swallow in the past couple of weeks, but I'm better off for it. Every single time that Life decided to karate chop me in the throat recently, it granted me almost immediately with a beautiful experience to cherish, grow or learn from. Whether it was the amazing conversations and re-connections that happened in the wake of losing Felicia; the outpouring of love and support that came from reaching the darkest place I've gotten to in my mind in a LONG time; or the many, many, many wonderful hugs and displays of support that have come my way to help dry the tears that just didn't seem to want to stop flowing, Life has been growing me. And hopefully Life has been growing you too. So I encourage you to let go and Let Life Happen.

It's all going to be just fine.

Taylor Swift has been breaking records and delighting fans on the U.S. leg of her Eras Tour, a splashy celebration of her career and new releases since the pandemic.
