#taylor swift not about boys

how do y'all not let the things you like consume your entire being

[khruschevshoe]

You know, it's rather interesting to me that Taylor Swift's parasocial relationship with her fans is honestly more akin to a YouTuber than a writer's. When I scroll through her tag on tumblr/Twitter, it's far more regarding the connection to her personal life/relationship developments than the actual metaphors/fictional story she might be telling. Everything comes back to how her songs reflect back on her relationships with Joe/Matty/Travis/Jake/insert ex-boyfriend here. And what fascinates me about it is that even though she complains about it, she leans into that very perception because it strengthens the parasocial bond.

The marketing for TTPD so clearly being about Joe Alwyn and the songs to Matty Healy. The marketing/video for Red TV so CLEARLY being about Jake Gyllenhaal, with so many of the new lines in All Too Well specifically being digs at him (I'll get older but your lovers stay my age, casting an actor that looks like him for the video, specific lines in I Bet You Think About Me). The fact that songs like Getaway Car and Bejeweled and Gorgeous and London Boy and Lavender Haze being picked apart at time of release and long after for signs of relationships crumbling. The way she uses surprise songs in relation to her relationship development with Joe/Matty/Travis. The damn TTPD "stages of grief" playlists where she deliberately undid/changed the meanings of old songs just to keep her audience speculating on her love life.

It's not sexist to point out that her wielding her love life is a marketing tool and that the strongest connection to her audience isn't the strength of her writing/the composition of her music- it's her deliberate crafting of a connection between her music and her personal life, leaving the audience invested in her music as an extension of Taylor the Person/Girlfriend rather than Taylor the Artist.

Taylor Swift Rocks the Snowys (2009) - National Film and Sound Archive of Australia (x)

Before she packed out arenas worldwide with her economy-changing, culture-shifting, fashion-influencing ERAS tour, Taylor Swift was bringing her country sound to the Snowys. At 19 years old, Swift was already a sensation with two albums – ‘Taylor Swift’ and ‘Fearless’ – which have now topped 6.5 million and 9.9 million global sales respectively. But she was yet to truly break away from her Nashville origins and enter the pop mainstream. In this clip from Swift’s 2009 Thredbo concert for CMC Rocks the Snowys, she electrifies the stage with her song 'You Belong with Me, showcasing her early influences in every aspect – from the cowboy boots and spirited dance moves to the heartfelt sound that defined her beginnings.

I need a scene where Colin is spending time with the bros celebrating the announcement that Pen is pregnant again and Will or Ben makes a comment about letting Pen breathe before they have even more Bridgerton’s running around and Colin my wife Bridgerton just smirks and is like “have you seen my wife? Actually don’t answer that I do not wish for you to be looking at my wife.”

I just need Colin being annoying about his wife around everyone. 😂

Oh trust me, I have a feeling that we’ll get Colin “my wife” Bridgerton so much next season we’ll be rolling our eyes with the rest of the London good society in the show.

They’re about to become one of the most obnoxious in love couples. So much so that we won’t know what to do with ourselves (mostly because we already don’t know what to do with ourselves).

Personally, after watching Anthony level of unhinged happy married man and soon to be father, I have a headcanon (maybe it’s canon) that all Bridgerton men become slightly unhinged in a whole new way once their season is over and they’re settled down. Colin soft boy lover era is coming, we just had to get through Reputation and the All Too Well 10 min version before getting there.

hear it in the silence | 3.2k words 

“Ask me,” Mike says, his voice low and quiet and vulnerable, “what I wished for. For my birthday.”

Will’s hazel eyes widen a little bit more, and he hesitates. Swallows the lump in his throat. Glances down at Mike’s lips again, then back up one more time to Mike’s eyes. “If I ask you,” he murmurs, “and you tell me… it might not come true.”

Right – that is how wishes work, after all. You aren’t supposed to tell anyone what you wish for, what your heart desires, what you put all of your hope and longing towards as you blow the candles out on your birthday cake. That’s a secret for you and you alone.

“But,” Will adds, his own voice raspy and low, “I think I might be able to guess.”

Or:

Mike and Will share a quiet moment together away from Mike's eighteenth birthday party.

Why did nobody tell me Dean likes Taylor Swift?

For all the doom and gloom in this show and nobody tells me. This feels suspiciously like it was supposed to stay a headcannon, but I am so glad it didn’t. Supernatural is wild. Dean is a wild character.
