if you never bleed, you’re never gonna grow

The shift from "how dare taylor swift sing about these respectable men" to "why on earth were these thirty somethings going out with a teenage girl" is incredibly gratifying to me personally

if i was jake gyllenhaal i’d post a selfie wearing that scarf and turn off my phone

i think this album is for the ones who actually appreciate state of grace acoustic and treacherous demo recording

and i think i was right

if this album doesn’t cement taylor as one of the greatest songwriters of all time then i give up

i will support taylor no matter what direction she takes her music, any day any night, but god this style just feels like it was truly made for her lyricism and her vocals. something about it all is just melting me so sweet and i could just swim in this warm ocean of beautiful short stories all day

I love how Taylor wrote a song about the story of her RI house.

“Rebekah West Harkness (April 17, 1915 – June 17, 1982) also known as Betty Harkness, was an American composer, sculptor, dance patron, and philanthropist who founded the Harkness Ballet. Her marriage to William Hale "Bill" Harkness, an attorney and heir to the Standard Oil fortune of William L. Harkness, made her one of the wealthiest women in America.”
