you are the one i have been waiting for

If any young gay people are following me I just wanna remind you that there’s nothing wrong or predatory about your same gender attraction. It’s absolutely okay and real and beautiful. Your childhood gay experiences were valid and pure. There’s nothing wrong or gross about them. There’s nothing gross about wanting to hold your crush’s hand or kiss them or sit next to them in class. I promise there’s nothing wrong or predatory about who you are

Not to cause controversy but “this is me trying” might be the best song on folklore 

You can’t listen to “I’ve been having a hard time adjusting i had the shiniest wheels now they’re rusting i didn't know if you’d care if I came back i have a lot of regrets about that pulled the car off the road to the lookout could’ve followed my fears all the way down” and “They told me all of my cages were mental so I got wasted like all my potential and my words shoot to kill when I’m mad I have a lot of regrets about that i was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere” and disagree with me. It’s just not possible 

You can say “as a gay person, this song resonates with me and I relate to it so in my own world it’s gay haha” but you shouldn’t say “since I’m gay, the artist I like has to be gay too even though they said they weren’t”. You can say “as a mentally ill person, this song feels like it’s speaking about my own personal struggles and I like it because it makes me feel understood and gives me comfort” but you shouldn’t talk about the artist’s mental health in depth or discuss their medication history just because you’re personally convinced of your madeup list of diagnoses. I really can’t believe this has to be said in the first place..

james & inez are the names of blake lively’s and ryan reynold’s daughters and that is information i think you all should have

I love how usually the instant reaction by everyone (fans, critics, general public) to taylor's music is analysing how it relates to her private life and trying to figure out which of her relationships each song is about so then with folklore she's just gone "yeah some of these are made up some are real some are about people I don't even know some are about me some are myths some are fantasy some are memory. enjoy."

the way people are exploring the connections between songs and characters and motifs unrelted to her personal life instead of just "that lyric must be about [insert person taylor knows]" feels like analysing a poetry collection or something instead of a diary entry. taylor has truly ascended to another level where it's about so much more than her individual experiences. she said no more scouring my lyrics to relate them to people in my life we have progressed past the need for that ❤

when I read “tonight at midnight I’ll be releasing my 8th studio album” i literally went through a hundred stages of shock within 0.0001 second

my heart did something that isn’t even physically possible in that moment
