hello! this is such a fun project and i am absolutely happy to share some great ones. as we all know, taylor did an absolutely absurd amount of press during 1989, so there are surely some good ones that i missed, but this is a good list that i think mixes really popular ones with some lesser-known favorites. i put it below a cut so it isn't too long, and also included dates in the list when they were available. ultimate favorites are in italics. and if anyone has others to recommend, let me know! i kind of went overboard but i hope you guys have fun

6. Stir in the flour, baking soda and salt all at once using a wooden spoon or the mixer set on low. Note: The dough will be soft.

7. Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour or freeze for 15 minutes just so it’s easier to handle.

9. Press the dough evenly with your fingers or palm to 1cm thickness.

12. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before transferring to racks to cool completely.

13. The cookies will keep for up to 3 days if stored in an airtight container.

Hi! Lol. Just read that article. There are a lot of layers going on in that piece that just imo seem wildly unnecessary.

I guess we should start with the obvious in that Taylor has never defined herself as a dancer and dance choreography is not a main selling point in her repertoire as an entertainer and it never has been. She puts on a show and entertains in other, theatrical ways but extensive, intricate dance breakdowns are not central to Taylor's stage presence. She certainly partakes in dance numbers and lest we forget that the concept of "choreography" extends beyond just dance breakdowns etc - this term captures any and all planned movement during the show. Which is to say everything. Her running across the stage during "august" is choreography. The ass slap in "LWYMMD" is choreography. All of this movement is orchestrated and planned to time in with other, key elements of the show. So let us distinguish that.

Secondly, it's hilariously unfair and supremely misses the point for the author to note the extensive physical exertion required of the Eras Tour and then caveats it by saying, "But Taylor isn't a good dancer." Again, see previous para. That was never what sold the tickets in the first place - nor does it cancel out the fact that the athletic prowess and stamina needed to put on the Eras Tour is not mutually exclusive to how much she partakes in dance moves.

It's just such a weird, nothing argument to make?

Taylor has participated in dance choreography because it's this insane added extra order to the already sky high expectations for a female performer that she must not only a) Sing live b) Look beautiful c) Wear heels d) Wear fantastic outfits. They must also e) Dance and f) Do not sweat or look like you are trying while doing any of the above. We want our women to do all of these things and also not look like human beings or exhibit any gross mundane human traits like breathing too hard or sweating.
