ok let’s break down the cardigan stream because it’s 2020 and we’ve all gone insane anyway and why not

here are the scenarios we’re working with here:

1.  it was an accident

this is possible.  right after folklore came out dianna went private on Spotify and she’s gone private before.  she knows how to do it and it seems like it’s possible she may have thought she was private.  our sweet baby forgot how to use twitter for like 8 months and doesn’t always seem to be the best with technology (she doesn’t tag things right on Instagram stories and she was always getting her twitter hacked [sometimes i think she was fake hacked but sometimes she was legit hacked] back in her glee days).  she may have thought she was private and screwed up.

however if it were an accident wouldn’t she have streamed something else to cover up her stream history or private and then unprivate to clear her history...seems like she has no issue with taylor’s song just...hanging out there in her stream history...still...even 36 hours later...there it is...haunting us.  so it doesn’t seem like this was an accident tho i guess it’s possible she made the mistake and then decided to own it and pretend like it’s no big deal.

2.  she’s finally swiftgroning to create a little buzz for herself.  for 7 years dianna has only ever referenced taylor in the subtlest (subtle to hets anyways) of subtweets.  other than showing up to snl (during which she was promoting NOTHING) and this spotify stream she has never publicly explicitly acknowledged taylor since their friendship went dark in 2013 (jeeze we live in crazy times!)

if she announces a project within the next day or two...a week at max my opinion would be that she streamed the song to get people talking about her to promote a new project.  (in my opinion, if this is the case she gets one (1) swiftgron for clout moment like...for promotion...anything more than that is just obnoxious)

one thing that’s odd is dianna has shared music via her Instagram stories before so why wouldn’t she just do it there if it were a pr move. she has nearly 2 million Instagram followers and only 5,000 on Spotify.  of course it was still enough to generate some buzz...sort of among a very very niche and specific tumblr and twitter gaylor/swiftgron audience.  it seems to me like if she was specifically trying to calculate and make a premeditated pr/marketing move she would have shared the song in her Instagram stories or made a post about taylor.

3.  she’s throwing the fandom a bone??? it sounds ridiculous to even suggest that she’s even aware of specifically the swiftgron fandom but her wlw fandom is a HUGE (if not a majority) portion of her fandom and the wlws love taylor right now right? and more specifically there’s us and well...i mean i’m certain she does not read this blog but it has been suggested to me by people in the industry that her team is probably at least aware of it so idk...i mean swiftgron is in right now.  i was doing some research a few weeks ago and i saw that swiftgron/taylor and dianna/tayanna is more popular now in terms of google trends than it was even when it was going on in like 2012.  maybe we’ve gotten loud enough that she wants to be loud too?  i don’t think this for sure or anything but it’s just one possibility like maybe she just wants to kick it with the sapphics...i don’t know lol

4.  even more delulu but i’m listing every possibility here - she and taylor are together and it was a declaration of love andoaifjdsijoaisdjjads i can’t even finish typing that out it’s so crazy lmao

5.  she just likes the song and listened to it.  (HOW BORING, THAT WASN’T EVEN FUN TO TYPE😤) 6.  it’s a sign of things to come?  maybe their public friendship is going to be reestablished and they’ll be hanging out in person sometime soon?

my favorite option is number 6 (well ok obviously number 4 but that’s even less likely) and/or i suppose number 3 and tbh i hope she’ll continue to swiftgron on main from time to time as long as she doesn’t do it in a way that makes the fandom think they’re together when they’re not and as long as she doesn’t do it to promote work stuff.

idk what do y’all think?

TRR Fanfic is abundant and I love it!  

Here’s a list of the work I read for TRR in the last two months.

Epiphany (series) by @ao719

In this series – we get to see what may have happened in Liam let fear keep him from proposing to MC (Daniella) when he had the chance. Instead, he didn’t choose her out of fear that doing so would put her more in harm’s way.  When Daniella returns and Liam has to watch her fall for another man … let’s just say sparks fly.  Come see if Liam can prove he still has what is needed to get the girl.

The Consequence of Secrets – Part 18 – The ICU by @blackcatkita

The pregnant Queen is finally awake.  She’s on anesthesia and a bit high – so that’s entertaining.  Liam’s anger is thawing towards Drake (finally!) This series is so good – so if you haven’t started it – it’s time to catch up.  And if you’ve been waiting for the next chapter – here it is!

Vengeance (series) by @ao719

Colette comes to Cordonia on a mission.  Drake seems to know her and be able to vouch for her.  Liam, of course, falls for her quickly.  As people in high places end up in jail for their illegal activities, Colette’s life is threatened.   Is Colette a danger to the crown?  Will Liam be able to keep her safe? 

Guarded Hearts by @lolablackwrites

In the most recent chapter (37), Bas and Alice are back together.  Bas asks Alice to move in with him!  We get more of BFF Frankie.  A delightful conversation occurs between Alice and Bertrand.  This chapter made me snort coffee.  It hurt but it was so worth it.  As the president of the Bastien Fanclub – I’m telling you that you must read this if you love Bas!

Unexpected (series) by @ao719

Driam x Riley – it’s NSFW, it’s sexy, no one has been able to clearly think through their feelings on their own, let alone share those feelings … but there’s a lot of love to go around.  I cannot wait to see where this one goes!  And in the meantime – every chapter is HOT HOT HOT!!!

More than This by @hopefulmoonobject

To be honest, I had a small hand in the creation of this one – so yeah yeah bias blah blah blah.  But seriously – it’s sooooo good and popular demand has asked for it to become a series.  I cannot wait to see where things go!  Leo is trying to turn a new leaf.  He’s getting clean from alcohol, but other addictions are harder to let go … then he meets a woman that might just be worth staying healthy for.

The Masterlist for @stopforamoment

Bas and Rinda.  Rinda is my spirit animal.  This series is AMAZING!  It’s the slow burn of slow burn.  I had to edit a few chapters just to get a damn kiss!  BUT Rinda is full of life.  She’s soulful.  She brings out a lighter side for Bas.  The humor in this series will surprise you at times.  I read series 1 – 6 in two days and will be catching up on the next 20 series as soon as I can.

Riley has married Drake – but is it out of obligation or love?  Liam and Riley are having an affair.  Liam wants Riley but he also wants the sneaking around to end.  What does Riley want?  Drake isn’t as in the dark as everyone is trying to convince him to be.  It’s complicated and sexy and I cannot wait to see where things go from here. (Many thanks to @darley1101 who told me to read this!)
