I just started using Dolby Atmos to listen to music and I am hearing sounds in songs I’ve never heard before. I listened to “tolerate it” and during the bridge the strings in the background are much clearer and louder, and they make the song so much more beautiful and amazing.
I’m curious if there are any specific sounds you’ve noticed in songs that people might not mention that make you enjoy it that much more? Whether it be a quiet passing lyric, an under-toned synth, a unique instrument, or something else entirely. Let’s hear it! (Pun intended)
What is your perspective on the recent increased negative tone towards Taylor?
I originally thought it was right-winged propaganda that was being pushed especially with the JB/ BL situation that was filled with blue check mark trolls. Now it is even in Taylor's own post. She can't win no matter what she does but now the call is ringing loudly from the inside of the house.
Like Taylor, I think trash takes itself out every time and I think the fandom needs to contract from the Eras bandwagon phenomenon but this is exhausting.
What do you think has led to the current hate train that is currently dragging her?
was def scared to get one but so worth it. i got it on my forearm! this has been the lyric that has gotten me through high school and my first year of college. it’s my reminder to never give up and settle for less than i deserve. my artist was absolutely amazing and i love the font. its giving folklore!!!!
Ordered a MyHyrdo and Put YOYOK on it :) I'm happy $50 well spent. Went with the closest Midnights colors and gonna add stickers to make it more Taylor-Ish.
For example…
If your favorite feature is Kendrick on the Bad Blood remix, your answer might be:
Kendrick on End Game
Since End Game is a song with a feature spot and Kendrick would be suitable for it.
I’ve always loved “call it what you want”. It’s probably my favorite love song of hers. And I got to wondering — do any of you have initials on a chain ‘round your neck? I know TS did with Joe’s initial while recording rep, which was a cute nod to him in her documentary.
Also expanding the question to capture any similar thing you’ve incorporated or adopted into your own life from her music. If so, what/how?
What song had a different vibe that you expected? For me, it was Death By A Thousand Cuts. It was faster and sounded more peppy when I expected melancholy and a slow melody.
I have been in a long-term, very stable relationship for almost 10 years, and he was my first kiss. To be honest, I can’t personally relate to much of the turmoil in Taylor’s songs about her relationships. I was looking for a Taylor song for my first dance and there are maybe 5 (?) that are uncomplicatedly happy about a relationship.
However, I do have a lot of other problems in my life lol. I like to re-interpret the songs about relationships to apply to my problems: for example, I interpreted happiness as the change in my life before and after I was diagnosed and medicated for my chronic illness. “I showed you all of my hiding spots / I was dancing when the music stopped” means all of the systems I had created in order to deal with the pain while also disassociating from it. “Honey when I’m above the trees / I see this for what it is / but now I’m right down in it / all the years I’ve given / is just shit we’re dividing up.” Is about how ignoring the pain of my situation is logically the wrong thing to do but so much easier than facing all the years where I was so much less than my full self.
I’m wondering what your favorite re-interpretations of songs about Taylor’s relationships are? Bonus points if the re-interpretation is about the current US political situation.
Evermore is an album which is often seen as album of endings and closure, but in the song "Dorothea" the narrator does not want to end the friendship with their long last friend. Instead, they seem to be reminiscing about their past friendships and longs for reconnection, making it one of the more hopeful and sentimental song on the album which is more Folklore sort of thing. On the other hand its counterpart "tis the damn season" shows bittersweet ending by reigniting the past romance relationship then leaving again acknowledging its fleeting and momentary nature.
My question is why is "Dorothea" included in Evermore, given that its tone and subject matter seem to differ from album's predominant themes of finality, loss and closure. Maybe I'm just narrowing my vision to just these themes but please help me understand the subject. Thank You for you help.
I absolutely LOVE singing Taylor on karaoke with my friends but I love doing the backing vocals specifically, so I've been looking for songs with powerful backing vocals and bridges (for example: blank space, because of the "with a nasty scar" scream)
I was in Paris last weekend with my partner and we went for breakfast at La Palette. It was so lovely and very quiet so I was able to sit in the exact seat Taylor sat in!!
My daughter’s 16th birthday cake
I know nobody really knows the answer to this, but listening to TTPD again I can’t help to feel like I want Taylor to expand on the albums / songs aesthetic and vision. She’s only released Fortnight as the albums music video and ICDIWABH which came out some time ago, and as we all know she’s probably not had the time, but given now she’s off tour I’m hoping she’ll release at least a few new music videos. Her album has the drama and vibe to explore more, what songs would you like to see a music video too? I’d love to see “daddy I love him, loml, I hate it here, but I’d really be happy with any off this album. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 I think it would be a missed opportunity if they’re never made. Has this been talked about before? What would you like to see? What song would make for a strong music video? Do you think she’ll do it? Would love to hear thoughts! 🎥 📺 📝 ✨
First off, I wouldn't say that I'm a Baby Swiftie anymore... probably a toddler Swiftie. So I wanted to come here and ask for your input!
A particular song gave birth to this idea that I have. I've been working on it for weeks now and I'm still in the brainstorming stages. I'm wanting to create characters based on the albums. I've already got folklore and evermore figured out (folklore is my favorite album and is what turned me into a Swiftie almost 5 years ago). I also have Reputation and (mostly) Midnights figured out. I have a few ideas for the rest, but what do you think?
What kind of girls would these albums be if they were personified into actual people? The ages of the characters reflect Taylor's age at the time of release, I have that idea figured out... names, too (they reflect their respective albums, as well). Also, what type of outfit style do you think for the remaining albums? The personalities and outfit styles are really what I'm looking for. As I mentioned, I'm still a youngin' Swiftie, but I also want other views!
Thanks, guys! 🌟😘
What are lines from other artists that remind you of Taylor Swift? It could be lyrical comparisons, lyrical complexity, or perhaps just situations that remind you of the ones she was in.
I'll start.
"Woke up the girl who looked just like you/I almost said your name"
Harry Styles, From the Dining Table.
This seems to be his side of "Your new girl is my clone" from Is It Over Now.
"You're on every highway just beyond the high-beams
Right beside me in all of my sweet dreams
No matter where you choose to be
In my heart I'll always see you"
Tim McGraw, Everywhere
These lines remind me of "The 1" by Taylor Swift, especially with "I thought I saw you at the bus stop, I didn't though" and "And it would've been sweet
If it could've been me/In my defense, I have none/For digging up the grave another time". Lamenting over missed opportunities...
"You climbed to heaven, now you're tripping on the precipice"
Juno Songs, Scissors
This encapsulates the media frenzy against Taylor Swift in "Snakegate". There are many people who want to see a hugely successful woman fail.
Any really good lines from other artists that remind you of Taylor Swift?
Taylor Swift is presenter for this Sunday’s Grammys
Here are my answers:
"Love & Other Things"
The vibe would be playful, fun, and reflective. The pallette would be shades of the sunset. The whole album would be a reflection of what and who brought her where she is now.
Tracklist: (no need to create an entire tracklist if you don't want to. 2 or 3 songs should be fine)
Andrea (a song about her Mom written in third person)
I Do (a song imagining her at her wedding)
13 (Taylor was 13 when she got her first record label, so this would be a song reflecting on that time)
I’ve never heard of this, but found it recently! It’s still plastic wrapped. Can anyone tell me anything about it? Is it valuable, rare, exciting? Thanks!
I am a bit of a stationery nerd- and these pens. Obsessed. What other not official merch do you all have that you love?!
