Taylor Swift #8 This thread is about you. You know who you are. I love you.

[Yupyupyup]

Someone said she’s performing an unreleased track tonight. Not sure if it means vault or completely new

Red and I think he knows tonight, both on guitar as the piano was drowned in the rain she said

I hope the first post was just a fan making up a rumour for clout and not someone genuinely not knowing those two songs

 

[Lilykins]

Already seen a tweet saying You're Losing Me is actually about Karlie.

Is this before or after she had her first baby?!

 

[Bleurghgram]

Did you see Lana’s comments about her job being the production? I thought it sounded really big headed and wanky but I’m not a fan at all.

I agree! So I would think that the answer would be not to buy all the extra stuff that’s released later.

Sorry, yes, I realised reading this back we were making the same point

 

[tellmewhy]

I don't get the "but thats the whole format of the podcast" comment. That doesn't excuse it, and it still shows a lot of how he is as a person to make those comments. Especially so publicly so who knows what sort of things he says behind closed doors if he says those on a podcast. No one forced him to go on the podcast or say those things.

Yeah I said it was gross and completely not funny but my point is just that you can’t sum someone up as a person by a one hour podcast where they said stupid shit. The podcast is supposed to be satire, it’s just not a funny one. Taylor knows him as a whole person, not just a Twitter thread which other people are basing their whole assumptions on, that’s why it’s ridiculous people are writing letters to her, she literally knows him

If I manage to get tickets it’ll be an Ireland show on my own. I heard her play Croke Park from a distance the last time and I’d love to go this time. She can hold on announcing the dates though I’m beyond broke for the next few months

The second pic with George the 1975s drummer isn’t even Taylor I hate when people say it is

Is it not?! I'd just always assumed and never actually looked into it
Who is it?

 

[IdeletedbutI'mbackagain]

Feel like I’m showing my age that I would think of him as Austin Powers before Shrek

SAME!!!!

 

[wordzalad]

I just noticed they’re saying Eras tour merch on the UK site. Rude!!!!!

Just what we want. Merch for a tour we can’t go to

 

[knivesnflowers]

Bet they have lots to talk about View attachment 2183097

if i'm right in thinking this is islington high st i've walked on that very pavement

 

[Anneliese2199]

Boring men are so much better than problematic men though, plus he looks like he showers

I wouldn’t compare Joe or anyone to a racist, so yeah

 

[JLXRD]

I did wonder this with him pulling fans up on stage to kiss them, how does that work? Are The 1975 gigs 18+? If not do they make the girls show their ID or something before being allowed on stage? I really don’t get how he can responsibly regulate it.

Not to defend him but yes if someone looks young, there are clips of him asking for their ID before he does the kiss. I do feel the robbers kiss gets dodgier the older he gets though.

He didn’t do the robbers kiss at the show I went to and the show after that was the one Taylor was at (I was literally distraught that I missed her by a day)

I absolutely don’t mean that she became less talented or less popular but she even said in miss Americana she didn’t think she had much longer left. I think maybe she was prepared to start slowing down with Joe and because of Covid it could have felt that she was being forced that way.
As successful as folklore and evermore were, there was no tour and no appearances but she got away with that because no one was going anywhere anyway, she could have easily just decided that was the life for her but I’m not sure how much longer she could have had if she just carried on surprise dropping music and not touring it.

I'm assuming by appearances you mean concerts cause she did have appearances at the CMAs, SNL, etc.

I always took the Miss Americana comment to be more about societal pressures and expectations. Because she says something like "I want to be here while I'm still allowed to". There haven't been many artists who have managed to stay super successful into their middle aged years.

I personally think Taylor could go the distance and even with a lower profile, because she is already THAT famous and she has the whole obsessive clue searching and the songwriting too. But I guess it's one of these things where we'll never know cause she'll always go back to courting the media.

 

[Tiggerhappy]

i found it interesting that she sung "brother" as he has two brothers. I wonder was she only close to one?

Dunno but the bro you're talking about is a gorgeous wee thing. I say this as someone definitely old enough to be his mother, so nothing creepy in it, lol. He's just adorable looking.

 

[Lilykins]

I keep seeing a lot of people making the “wine stained dress” for their eras concert outift and I can’t help but think they probably don’t wash it after they’ve stained it and end up absolutely stinking to have to stand next to for 3 hours

I absolutely admire all these people going to all this effort even though you don’t meet Taylor anymore for it. Seriously - that’s commitment to the cause!

 

[tellmewhy]

Retirement? She put out two of her strongest albums while on lockdown, when no one had seen her, or anyone, in months. Same with Reputation if you're more of a Rep girl, it came out after she scrubbed her socials, stopped the planned pap walks, literally says no one has heard from me for months, etc.

If anything, I think being less focused on fame makes her better at her art. The problem is that she always comes back to courting massive, in your face, saturated fame.

No one actually needs overexposure.

Taylor Swift is so petty but I love her

 

[pencilpen]

Olivia made money from her album and had to credit several different artists, it's not like Taylor is making money from the dance is it, no one has gone to the tour just to see it. I agree creatives should be compensated I'm not against it and I hope she does but people on twitter are being ridiculous harping on about how he made the song successful and how he should recieve $$$s when he initially seemed over the moon for her to have done it. It'll just stifle the creative desert that is social media even further.

 

[kyaraslife]

No self respecting person would want to end up with such a manipulative, petty, vindictive woman.

 

[gossipgal21]

I like London Boy

I’ll see myself out ….

Haha so do I!!
