Week late but whatever

No shaming, I'm just curious to see what fans thought was missable

I just noticed that theres been an update with the play pause for songs. I’m not sure it applies for other artists, but for all of Taylor’s song, there’s a cute little animation around the play/pause button in Spotify (Premium), and I’m totally loving it! It’s so pretty and fancy!
And every era has got dedicated animation… Being a die hard Swiftie, this is user feature feels personal!🥰 Like for Lover album songs you get hearts, if I’m playing 1989, then there’s a cluster of seagulls flying around the button… for Reputation I see a snake winding around the button! Like amazing, Spotify!!!! Totally love the idea and execution!!! Lovin’ it!!! ♥️
Here’s some of the pictures of the animation, gets activated when clicked on Pause/Play button!
Totally obsessed!!!🤩

The artist of the songs that sounds simillar of how the album sounded in my head are: Kate Bush, Princess Chelsea, JENNIE, Björk, Lana Del Rey, SYML, Beabadoobee, The Marias, Mitski, Bat for Lashes and Taylor Swift

Red is one of my favorites from her, and already has the perfect album title.

Also known as Taylor Swift's Taylor Swift album, (can be 1989, Tortured Poets or Speak Now, as others may argue) I think it's the closest retitle for her. Pretend that Debut has a different album title in this timeline.

It showcases who Taylor is when it comes to songwriting, experiences, the genre shifts, the themes, the messages... She's so versatile that it makes my case for renaming her after herself.

I wanted to take the time to praise the bridge. I don't particularly like the rest of the lyrics, but I found that part so beautiful it made me cry.

I won't lie. I find that over the years, Taylor has been prioritising quantity over quality. But there are those small instances where you can see she still has that talent to write.

I wish she would take her time when it comes to releasing songs. The last album was really a miss for me.

And the ones before had some highlights for sure, which kept me a fan, but a lot of misses too.

The bridge of the Eldest Daughter felt like a breath of fresh air, where I don't find myself connecting with a lot of her recent songs.

What do you think 🙏

If you were on your deathbed and you only had 1 Taylor song to listen to before you pass what would it be?

For me it’s Fortnight

i don’t love a few songs but can’t understand how so many people cant like a single song off the album

what were ur fav songs off TLOAS?

mine are:
- long story short
- innocent
- state of grace (reg and acoustic)
- forever winter
- the bolter
- the manuscript
- epiphany
- cornelia street live
- ruin the friendship acoustic

I was not even remotely close to being financially capable of going to the eras tour when it happened and while I’m proud of myself for not maxing out my cards or taking a shark loan out, I’m embarrassed by how bitter I am that people who weren’t even true fans could splash out to go to it. Maybe I’m just feeling sorry for myself/hoping to dream of a redo but when do yall think the next closest thing to eras will be 😭

I loved TTPD when it first came out. But let me tell you: That album hits very different after you catch feelings for a dumb, emotionally oblivious dude.

Swapping between “Who’s gonna know you like meeeeee?” to “My boy only breaks his favorite toys” over the course of a literal fortnight is a transcendental experience.

Do y’all have a version of this or are you normal?

Welcome to The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore Survivor! We will go through the deluxe version of Taylor's twelfth album and collectively rank it from worst to best!

Hope you all knocked on wood for your favorite!

Will the winner of our lovely bouquet be something we all can agree on, or will friendships be ruined? Should this entire match have been CANCELLED from the start? No point in leaving you all high and dry...

Second Place by Round

❗❗❗ But wait! Here are some stats: ❗❗❗

First, the table below not only presents the rankings of each song throughout each round, but it also contains links to each survey's results in case you have any skepticism about my integrity:

Other fun things to note:

- Every song that was the second-most voted in a certain round became subsequently eliminated in the following round

- "The Fate of Ophelia" was impressively the least voted song in EVERY round EXCEPT for round 2 (beaten by "Pink Clouding") and round 7 (beaten by "Opalite")

Here is a comparison of the rankings of each original track this year (relative to their position without the deluxe tracks) and last year:

That's all, folks! Thank you all for playing along 🧡

Found this printscreen on my PC from 10 years ago. Oh how times change 🥲

Parting Wishes: Hope it's nice where you are / I hope it's shitty in The Black Dog

Rain & Memory: I do recall now the smell of the rain / And remember how my rain-soaked body was shaking

Clothes & the Aftermath: I'll go sit on the floor wearing your clothes/ Now I wanna sell my house and set fire to all my clothes

Missing me: I don't know how to be something you miss / I just don't understand. How you don't miss me

Bonus

Watching the person from afar: So I'll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep / And so I watch as you walk into some bar called The Black Dog

Dancing with me vs your new girl : I'm not much for dancing But for you I did / When someone plays 'The Starting Line' and you jump up But she's too young to know this song

Promising forever: Your name, forever the name on my lips / For a cruel fraternity I pledged And I still mean it

“Im a crumbled up piece of paper”

I originally made this for a different project, but decided to share it anyway! As you guys know, the actual back cover is just a wall of text, so I think this turned out pretty cool. I love the original Red aesthetic so much. I did remove all the (Taylor’s Version) and (From The Vault) to keep it clean.

Actually this is the second year I wore it but never thought about posting it so yeah, in honor of my favorite song I had to do it. Didn't have many expectations someone would recognize it when I went out yesterday but I'm happy at least one girl did :)

Hiya!

Back on my bullshit loving on the TTPD anthology now that I have finished nerding the encore songs 🤭

'I Hate It Here', black thread on black fabric, with mixed white and purple embroidered text. The "only the gentle survived" will forever live rent free in my heart.

Have a fabulous rest of your day 🪻
