newfound grace.

folklore era did so much to warp people’s perception of taylor into this reclusive, soft creature shying away from the world and attention like i truly hate to break it to some of y’all but taylor looooves a giant party, she loves hosting, loves a theme. she just hates being used and abused for her parties, and she got burned by that and then added on a pandemic and a boyfriend who wanted her to pretend she wasn’t famous so yeah! you got barefoot alone in the woods taylor but that was never supposed to be her final form!! sorry y’all but taylor swift is over the top and glitzy and has all her big fire sign energy back like this is miss “i took my first big paycheck and installed a bird cage and curtain circus ceilings in my apartment” and i missed her!!!!

The castle turned out to be just trees

I’ll tell you something right now!!! I’d rather burn my whole life down!! Than listen to one more second of all this bitching and moaning!!! I’ll!!! Tell you something ‘bout my good name!! It’s mine alone to disgrace!!!! I don’t cater to all these vipers dressed in empaths’ clothing!!!

in hindsight it's kinda funny that taylor used to worry that her songwriting was directly tied to her misery and pain. this girl was thirteen years old writing about everything under the sun whether she'd experienced it or not; she wrote about feelings she imagined, experiences she perceived in others, and stories she straight up fabricated. that well of inspiration is tied to your imagination, girl, not your sadness! and i think it's really beautiful that being with travis has been a factory reset of sorts where she's once again free to write about the full human experience without hinging that creative output on her status as a tortured artist, when that was never her ethos as a writer to begin with.

i’m so happy for my friend taylor

it really does come down to making the friendship bracelets and taking the moment and tasting it huh

i think the wedding is going to be a garden in the garden
