hey just in case anyone needs to hear this: don’t you let these men cast even the slightest shadow over Taylor’s past albums. Those are OURS no matter what papers they sign. “These songs were once about my life. Now they are about yours.” Taylor wrote these songs to process what’s happening in her life, to process pain, trials, joy and dreams and she sang them to us. And we sang them back to her and made them part of our lives. We’re the ones that made a song as painful as All Too Well into a song she can now smile through when she sings it because it’s turned into a beautiful collage of our passionate faces screaming the words. We’re the ones who laugh when Delicate plays and we still whisper “1, 2, 3 let’s go bitch” alone in our bedroom. We’re the ones who know that TOSOTD bridge, who fight for Mary’s Song, who still say Holy Ground should have been a single, who scream about clever lyrics she wrote when she was 15, who cry to deep cuts, who never forget she wrote Speak Now completely on her own. Taylor wrote and sang these even when she was constantly hearing criticism and sexist remarks. We know the stories and we know the power in each song. They’re the soundtrack of our lives and we’ve overcome so much with her music. They’re our stories, Taylor’s and ours. It’s Taylor’s talent, dedication and heart that went into it and us who connected to it. No sale, no assholes and no paper can change that, they can’t take that away from us. like not to be cheesy but they might disgustingly own it on paper but we’ve fiercely owned it in our hearts for over a decade, damn it.

This actually brought tears to my eyes I won’t even deny that for a second @taylorswift @taylornation
