@taylorswift do you think it would be socially acceptable to sit on the street for the next four days and just watch this countdown? Asking for a friend

So THIS HAPPENED today and I can’t stop crying for my beautiful friend Amanda...we waited for so long after the #RepTourMelbourne to see @taylorswift come out & our hearts broke in unison as her security guards distracted us with #guitarpics and she drove away...it was her 13th show, she had flown from New York all the way to Melbourne on her own & waited for so long with us after, only to come so close & miss her....Amanda has been a #Swiftie for the same amount of time as me & she also makes her own handmade costumes for tour like we do...she is such a beautiful soul & I knew that we had to find her when I saw she was at Melbourne on her own...we searched for her after the show & I’m so glad we found her...we truly have made a friend for life & I’m so happy for her my eyes keep leaking!!! https://www.instagram.com/p/B5SIWmnnljD/?igshid=wom238pmnev0

20 DAYS TO GO UNTIL MELBOURNE!!!

@taylorswift @taylornation @tsofficialmerch I’m so excited to dance the night away with you!!

I won’t lie, the last 12 months have been anything but easy. I was diagnosed with Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (a rare autoimmune disease which combines diseases like lupus and scleroderma) just before Reputation came out. I was confused, unwell and kind of angry that something like this was happening to me.

I remember on release day I was in the first week of starting chemo pills. I was feeling so unwell but my Swiftie friends took care of me. We spent the night together until we were able to get our hands on rep. This really helped turn a week that could have been a dull memory/time in my life into one that I’ll cherish forever.

Taylor, I’ve been a fan for over 10 years and I just want to say THANK YOU! Not only have you helped me grown and learn but you have also introduced a great bunch of supportive people into my life which I will hold close to my heart forever.

Reputation helped me keep my head up when I wasn’t sure what the future would hold. It taught me that it was okay to be myself even if I wasn’t sure who that person may be.

I’m forever grateful for the art, love and generosity you show us on a daily basis.

Can’t wait to see you hit the stage in Australia.

I’ll be sitting in -

(Melbourne) seat 65, Row Q, Aisle 24, Lvl 3 &

(Sydney) seat 17, Row H, Section A6.

Watching you shine!

Love Rose (aka your Melbourne Swiftie) ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hey @taylorswift! I can’t wait to see you in Melbourne and Sydney soon!

My name is Chloe, I’m 18 years old and I love Taylor Swift with all my heart.

Taylor was one of the only artists I was interested in when I was young, 7, 8, 9 etc. I would have a kids compilation CD and only play ‘You Belong With Me’ - if that gives you any indication.

I didn’t really become a ‘swiftie’ until i was 11 years old and transitioning from Primary School to High School.

I guess that maybe, she ‘showed up just in time’, because after that, I had the hardest years of my life.

I had my first panic attack, that i can remember, at 12 years old. It was terrifying, the only thing that helped me calm down was when my teacher started talking about Taylor. It’s worked ever since then.

When I was 13 years old, I was formally diagnosed with Generalised Anxiety Disorder w/panic attacks & with Major Depressive Disorder. I had started self harming everyday, and was at an all time low. I hated myself, I thought I was worthless and a waste of space. I thought everything was useless.

Then Taylor announced she was coming to Australia for the RED tour. Having missed out on the first two tours, I jumped at the chance to go.

In the weeks leading up to the concert, I managed to stay clean. The concert was the best night of my life. I ran from my seat to the B stage, and I was so close to her. I remember somehow making eye contact with her and absolutely melting.

The next few years somehow got worse. When i was 14/15 i was having panic attacks daily. I hated going to school, i hated the way I looked. I developed EDNOS due to my fluctuating eating habits and fear of gaining weight.

1989 came out, and the song Clean saved my life. I was listening to music, trying to calm myself down. I had a bottle of pills in front of me, and I was set on doing it. But then, clean came on. I broke down, I cried and cried. Taylor saved me. She saved my life. I would do anything for her to know how grateful I am.

I went to two 1989 shows in Melbourne. It was incredible. I got to see the last ever show of the tour, and got to hear fifteen live (while being 15) and Long live.

When I see Taylor on stage, it’s like its just me and her. No one else matters. She makes it feel like you two are the only people in the room and I’ve never felt like i matter, but when I’m at a Taylor concert, I do.

When I was 16, I had my lowest point. I was back to self harming every day, and withdrawing from friends and family. I had finally admitted to having been sexually abused when I was young. I had nightmares and flashbacks. Everything seemed like the world was going to end.

But Taylor was there. Her smile, her words, her songs. They were there. Every time I had a panic attack, I would go into my schools wellbeing and somehow, she was playing on the radio at that exact moment. She always showed up when I needed her.

Taylor standing up for herself in her own sexual assault trial was so inspiring for me. I wrote a long tumblr post about it, so I’ll sum it up pretty quick. I have never sobbed so much as when i read the quote “My advice is that you not blame yourself and do not accept the blame others will try to place on you. You should not be blamed for waiting 15 minutes or 15 days or 15 years to report sexual assault or harassment”. I waited 11 years to even speak about it, her words have never made me feel so seen.

I got better, I’m not perfect, but I’m a lot better. I’m now 18 years old, I haven’t had a panic attack in months, and am 23 months clean from self harm. The date of the Melbourne show (26th October) marks me being 2 years clean. I attribute quite a bit of my success in my journey to Taylor. Had she not been my best friend, big sister, and role model throughout it all, I’m not sure if I would even be here today.

I’m studying my dream course at University, a double degree of psychology/criminology and I’m working hard to get the future I didn’t think i deserved to have.

Thank you so much Taylor, for being the best friend and big sister I could ever ask for. I know you don’t know I exist, but my love for you is so, so big.

I can’t wait to see you again in Melbourne and Sydney for the rep tour, and I can’t wait to celebrate the fact that we’re both doing ‘better than we ever were’.

Taylor was, is, my constant and I can never thank her enough for what she’s done for me.

- Chloe xoxo

I’ll be in Melbourne with my little sister dressed as witches on the 26th of October! Here’s us at the 1989 tour where we were in ‘screaming colour’! (Btw she’s definitely taller than me now 😔 😂 ) @taylorswift @taylornation

I’m travelling solo for the first time to see you in Sydney @taylorswift! I used to be deep blue, but you painted me golden ✨ Forever thankful for your starry eyes sparking up my darkest nights

So, so excited to see you Taylor!

Love always, Chloe ❤️

I met @mysoulismylighthouse at reputation stadium tour in Melbourne. I been talking to her for ages before we actually met. It was @taylorswift that bought us together to be good friends. I will do anything for Steph. Thank you @taylornation for bringing Steph into my life. It is true the best people in life are free. ❤️❤️

Dear Taylor, The photo taken on the left was at your 1989 concert, I went with a guy I was in love with who shortly after broke my heart. My entire soul was shattered into pieces and it took me several months before I could truly smile, before I could listen to your music without crying. The photo on the right is me now doing better than I ever was. I listen to your music now and think of how far iv come. Your strength gave me strength. Your music helped me heal when I thought I couldn’t. I dance to all your albums now with the most goofy, happy face like I have been for 10 years and I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you have done for us swifties!

I’ve had the time of my life fighting dragons with you, @taylorswift. I am so insanely excited to dance along with you this October at Rep Tour Melbourne!

Hi Taylor, flashback to when Love Story dropped, that’s the first time I heard from you, the first time I got fascinated by your story, the first time I got so amazed by your songwriting skills. From then onwards, I started digging your older songs, downloading and listening to them all. I met a couple of Swifties way back in freshman year in high school and we were BFFs (here’s to Sherina, Rochelle, Cheradie and Angelica) (up until this day). I remembered those school days during recess and lunch breaks, we’d literally listen and sing along to your songs including love story, YBWM, Fearless, White Horse, Mine, Mean, Story of Us, etc. We have never been to any of your shows at all.

After graduating high school, we’re still friends and kept in touch, however, I had to move to Australia from Philippines and we sort of parted ways. I’ve already graduated from college and now working full time and you and your music just stuck with me all throughout my high school, college and now as a full time working adult. And I guess, you always will have a place in my heart. Thanks for sticking with me throughout my journey and please know I’ve never left your side no matter what.

Finally after such a long ride and so many battles, I’m finally seeing you live in Perth. I feel so blessed to be able to save up and afford to see you perform. I’m dedicating this to my Swiftie friends back in the Philippines and hoping someday we’ll get to see each other again and finally see you perform all together! Here’s to my real friends including you Taylor! I can’t wait to have the time of my life, I’ve literally waited for this day to happen!!

See you soon @taylorswift @taylornation 💖💖💖

P.S. please wait for my Melbourne and Sydney tour outfits and open letter soon 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Love lots,

Syril or Sy (pronounced as “PSY” as in “Psychology” or “SCI” in “SCIENCE”)

That moment when you realise you’re standing next to the Taylor Swift ...........

[adelaideswifts]

We had our #LoverReleaseParty with our gorgeous friend @sammilee_thatsme today & it was EVERYTHING. We spent 7 (#ts7 ) iconic hours talking about and listening to everything #TaylorSwift & her new album #Lover - as you can imagine, we had the #BestDay ever. We had pizza, Dutch pancakes, @arnottsbiscuits tic toc biscuits & iced vovo’s, red velvet #Oreos, pink and blue gummy clouds, @daisoaustraliaofficial peach jellies, candy hearts, @allens strawberries and cream lollies, peach gummy hearts, pink #pocky, pink #HelloPanda, strawberries & blue berries & dipping chocolate & sipped pink @bundabergrum guava drink through pink spotty straws out of pink champagne flutes with flamingo swizzle sticks & pink umbrellas. We met Sammi, our fellow #Swiftie at #RepTourMelbourne - she joined our #SwiftieCircle and collection of Swifties who were at #RepTour on their own or had travelled from interstate and overseas to see Taylor....the Swiftie Circle is such an iconic representation of the power of #TaylorSwift. We have all stayed in contact via socials ever since...it was truly awesome hosting Sammi & connecting like we’ve been friends forever...we have an #OpenDoor policy here, #SwiftiesWelcome! If @taylorswift stays true to her usual plan and you’re travelling to #LoverTourAdelaide be sure to let us know! We’d love to meet you all! P.S. WE LOVE YOU SAMMI xXx (at Port Willunga, South Australia, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1ldZb4Hfry/?igshid=99t849qohqfs
