✨20 years of Taylor Swift™ ✨ my FAVORITE(s) songs from each album. 1. Should’ve Said No 2. TWILY 3. Back to December 4. IBYTAM 5. New Romantics 6. CIWYWT 7. AOTGYLB / Daylight 8. ☮️ / The Lakes 9. Happiness 10. Mastermind / You’re Loosing Me 11. loml / Peter 12. Babylon THIS IS HARD! I cheated.

I’m officially done responding. Don’t say “you don’t care” and completely reject when others try to show you concern. We can’t save anyone but ourselves. At the end of the day, the internet is not reality unless we live exclusively inside the WWW. It’s a tool. Neither it or TS define me.

Rewatched Mona Lisa Smile today on Kanopy. (Kanopy is a free streaming service with a library membership.) This movie should have been SO MUCH more popular than it was. Sadly, the patriarchy couldn’t allow that. 👀 But, this movie is so important in the story being told right now. 💍

She uses “this” instead of “he”. Is any non Gaylor clocking that? Cleveland! Something we all can agree on But my baby likes what he likes, oh-woah, oh-oh He already took me to Cleveland. Now I'm wearing white, so hate all you like *This* is the love of my life. Plus that damn ! again. 👀

I’m seeing so many people jumping in on a TT trend announcing “they found the one person who doesn’t find them completely insufferable” with photos of said couple. This hurts to see. I learned the hard way the higher you put someone on a pedestal, the father they fall. And that hurts you more!

I can’t place it but I just realized the Midnights album cover art style reminds me of album artwork design for something I’ve seen. Compilations or Greatest Hits. The photo being smaller than the album size w/the title outside the photo & the tracklist on the cover. I’m having a major brain fart.

I’m on day 2 of a low grade fever. I have no ability to participate in the Emmy fun. But I do want to acknowledge I consistently struggle with the back & forth of social justice and decoding. So I appreciate everyone who can stay engaged. You bring me joy. Thank you. No judgement.

At the end of her tour she said she was ready for her next project…to start a family. It just feels weird that it it is already widespread industry news she & fiancé have welcomed a newborn. I don’t know if I feel uncomfortable these celebs aren’t given space/privacy or use life events as PR.

Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky have welcomed a little monster to the family, Page Six reports. Gaga was photographed carrying an infant in NorCal today.

I left a comment asking if anyone thinks they are making this obvious that this is all manufactured to keep the general public distracted with their bread & circus. Let’s see the vitriol that follows. (TT discussing a “beef” between Gracie Abrams & Phoebe Bridgers ⬇️) www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8nhCLBs/

PARTICIPANTS NEEDED FOR THESIS RESEARCH Gaylor Fan Identity Study Survey Link: bit.ly/3SORo3x The purpose of this survey is to gather information on individual fans’ history & social media usage in relation to the Gaylor community. See the flyer, or alt-text, for all survey & participant info.

That BaldingBarbie Swifttok chaos starter posted about Olivia being a Gaylor who was forced to remove Gaylor agenda due to record label and will never be close to Taylor. This man is wild. I blocked him. The negativity is jarring. He HATES Gaylor. But this screenshot isn’t Gaylor. It’s adjacent.

How I know I’m getting old? Tonight is my high school 30 year reunion. That is so weird. I’m 2000 miles away so I won’t be going. #classof96 The only thing that makes me feel not as old…knowing Holly Madison’s is next year. We went to the same middle & high school.

I’m looking forward to more and more “celebrities” (I use it in quotes because it’s such a gross word) come out against the media & fandoms. It’s such a double-edged sword since parasocial relationships have been shoved down throats of the masses. No one is complicit in this phenomenon.

New guest name drop. Wifey is getting eaten up in the comments for the dress being too white and others are saying it’s basically pink. (Train’s frontman Pat Monohan and his wife, Amber). I doubt Taylor would care. There was possibly 1000 people there. Can you even see everyone?

Everytime I see a comment saying “leave her alone” or “this isn’t your business” or “why do you care so much” or “she can do whatever she wants” or…(you get my point), I want to scream how they are trying to police people’s opinions and voices. Swiftie Fascists for a billionaire. How fitting.

The worst comment I’ve read today about the wedding today. “@kimberly☀️: It wasn’t the real wedding, they were already married. I really think this is what they wanted to show us. For the fandom.” Say what? Spend 20ish million doll hairs on a public spectacle to make the fans happy?

Is the “she’s already married, this is the reception/party” sharp narrative shift due to the cognitive dissonance from the absolute absurdity of this circus? Because the amount of comments I’ve started seeing in the past 18 hours is wild.

Singing Dear Reader…for no reason. Dear reader If it feels like a trap, you're already in one Dear reader Get out your map, pick somewhere and just run Dear reader Burn all the files, desert all your past lives And if you don't recognize yourself That means you did it right 👀

So I wander through these nights I prefer hiding in plain sight My fourth drink in my hand These desperate prayers of a cursed man Spilling out to you for free But darling, darling, please You wouldn't take my word for it If you knew who was talking If you knew where I was walking
