In honor of the era’s tour and speak now (taylor’s version) coming out today, I thought I would finally be courageous enough to share my thoughts from last year when I tried to capture all the different era vibes <3
Taylor Swift - Country girl on a cottage core farm, butterflies and blooming flowers, young love framed in bronze, long summer nights, the sun glittering on the warm ocean
Fearless - golden love, the bright moon on a cloudless night, rebel chasing their love story, screaming crying and kissing in the rain, passion and desire conflicting with the mind, twinkling gold stars
Speak Now - a purple-pink fairy tale of broken hearts and lasting trauma, new beginnings, it’s her time to shine now and fuck everyone who’s mean, dwelling on enchanting memories, growing up and realizing
- with TV now also: little miss sunshine waiting for rain, losing yourself in love, pining, what ifs, castle’s crumbling down and destroying illusions, loving too hard, foolish ones trapped in circles of desperate hope, would’ve could’ve should’ve, the worst heartbreaks
Red - sad girl autumn, heart in pieces, rainy and foggy days, bursts of energy for new chapters, dwelling on the past, wounds that will never heal, red wine and dancing in the refrigerator’s light, sad beautiful tragedies
1989 - hello New York, coffee at midnight and love stories in the glow of city lights, fuck the haters and shake it off, bad blood, polaroids and capturing memories, lingering on the wildest dreams, stand up and dance but the heartbreak still lingers
Reputation - revenge comes with cherry red lips and crystal blue eyes, witches of the darkness, black snakes and silver jewelry, but baby you’re so delicate and gorgeous, last minutes of New Year’s Eve, poison ivy, you made me that way, karma is sweet
Lover - moving on and healing, pink glitter and rainbows, paper rings love, meeting the one, redefining oneself, independence, happiness and overcoming cruelty, coming home after a long day, goodbyes still hurt, they see right through me cause I’m still the problem
Folklore - folktales of misunderstood girls, childhood trauma, last days of summer nostalgia, cloudy dreary days, this is me trying can’t you see, crying while being comforted by your cat, escapism and light academia, grey cottage core, the summer romance that was never mine, hoping for forgiveness
Evermore - midnight in the forest, the moon shining through the trees, transition from eerie autumn to winter, dark academia, nostalgia and melancholy, the faint gold rush in the darkness, the smell of bonfire and old books, reflecting your inner demons at the end of the year, healing from the summer
Midnights - full moon and gold stars, kisses in candle light, self-awareness, sleepless nights, thoughts that keep you awake at midnight, a love that paints you maroon, 70s vintage, late night diner vibes, revisiting your past, dark blue in a lavender haze, the break up that was supposed to be a never-ending love
