The way I would have been so incredibly envious if they weren't even a huge fan, I might have even been messy 

 

Was it a bus or a building top? Either way, I remember all of us in the Swiftie chat I was in at the time () hoping it would go smoothly and literally being on the edge of our seats nnnn 

 

Not the Harvey College show unlocking memories, I still remember hearing about how she knew names asfjglhk the way we've really all been here forever 

 

I actually don't remember the Civil Wars show, but if I'm being honest, that's because I've never been a Safe & Sound fan 

 

Spoiler

It was definitely a bus because they ******* drove around with her on the roof 

 

And the Civil Wars show is that one clip of her in the yellow 50s housewife dress that we'd use whenever she had a rough vocal night on the Red tour and we had to whack the Directioners or Beliebers back 

 

I know for DAMN sure that any aged member of the Swifternet is familiar with this performance lol

Spoiler

Not that one 

 

The war flashbacks 

 

My go to at the time was the acoustic-y version of Red she did at the CMAs, the way I used that video honestly needs to be studied

Spoiler

I VIVIDLY remember her flubbing I Knew You Were Trouble at one of the Auckland shows and sending dozens of people very nasty DMs with that S&S performance attached

 

Spoiler

It was very much "you must live a miserable life, I think you should kay why ess and I hope your parents find your body, and also Taylor is a good singer and this video proves it" 

Spoiler

And then for the beliebers I'd also send that video of Justin Bieber making the racist chainsaw joke too 

 

I can't believe I remember this

Spoiler

Nnnnn I remember one of the funniest things I used to do is that I used to make icons even back then, but I would straight up deny people that even showed a little hate to Taylor 

 

This was definitely 2011-2013 too 

 

We have literally always been here

Spoiler

It's the way I get irrationally angry when members of other fanbases try and pretend that Swifties are like... pure virginal loser theater kids or whatever, when I was getting twitter accounts permanently suspended every few months in 2013 for telling monsters that I hoped their parents would honor kill them for being gay 

 

I've been messy online for Taylor since middle school and these new fans just don't understand the energy 

We're all tame and docile now, and that's all they've ever known, but when times were rough, so were we

Spoiler

The way I used to say things just as bad, knowing good and damn well I was being the messiest little gay I- 

 

I have been a Swiftie going that unnecessarily hard since 2008, I'd honestly really love for these post 2022 girlies to even begin to try to withstand what we've been through 

 

[Ms. Togekiss]

my god only blesses his favorite boys would be a good single but the lack of a third chorus brings its radio quality down imo

I have many beloved new Swiftie friends who I cherish but I have so much respect for those of us who survived the "Taylor isn't a ***** and Harry is ugly!" trenches

Spoiler

@ me being a Swiftie first and foremost, but also legit getting into Harry's solo albums 

 

a plot twist I would've never seen coming in 2013, I can tell you that 

 

Spoiler

Will always be there to reinforce the 2013 narrative if it ever again comes to that though, I can assure you

Peter is a ****ing lyrical masterpiece

nnn oh sister we're in the exact same place. Fine Songs was an excellent record and I really love a lot of the album tracks on Hagrid's Hut, and the me of January 1st 2013 after the NYE kiss would NOT believe where I am today with his solo music

 

I still can't stomach listening to 1D music, but that might just be more preference than anything else 

 

[pinkbowvintage]

They're sooo pretty

Nnnn we might be the same person 

 

I never liked any of 1D simply because the songs weren't good asgjdk 

 

[1989]

Stay Beautiful is not a good song, but it might be saved with updated vocals

2011-2012 was worse tbf, the slurs galore, the cocky Little Monsters, Directioners casting death spells on Taylor cause of her dating Harry…

nnn with Cruel Summer about a sneeze away from diamond eligibility, Taylor will have what... 5 albums with diamond eligible singles (4 in a row nnn), which is surely more than anyone else, right? 

 

I can excuse the Disney people for not giving a **** but can Republic Records please step to the microphone to defend their decision to not keep Taylor's certifications up to date 

I'm sure she's waiting for her success to slow down to update her certifications, in a "and what do I still have to prove?" kind of way. Or maybe to be the most certified artist ever with a big margin like in Australia. 

 

And it's Taylor, I have 0 doubt that even the BMR catalogue will get certified.

I can't wait to experience the album in fall/ winter cause it's such a cold/ depressing weather album .

i think this is a big part of why people had such weird reception to this era. i'm in Winter right now and the album clicked with me very quickly

This. I'm still surprised she released it in spring going into the summer instead of the usual Q4 because it fits this season a lot more.
