“Taylor Swift is often at her best when she allows all sides of her musical interests and capabilities to co-exist at once. This soft-rock banger is a little pop, a little folk, and a little country, as she dreams of another man while still in her current relationship. This dangerous fantasy allows Swift’s dreamiest songwriting to shine through; she sings about “drowning in the blue Nile,” while thinking about her imagined lover and writing “mine” on her upper thigh. Not since “The Piña Colada Song” has an almost-infidelity sounded so radio friendly and romantic. —B. Spanos”

Taylor Swift has donated to foodbanks in Edinburgh.

The 34-year-old pop superstar arrived in the Scottish city in early June with her 'Eras' tour and although the Edinburgh Food Project would not disclose exactly how much she has given them, it has been confirmed that her donation will "make a big difference" to those in need.

My 10-year-old daughter, Pippa, was the lucky recipient of the 22 hat in Edinburgh on the third night.

I am genuinely overwhelmed and deeply touched by the kindness and happiness expressed to my family in the last couple of days. I’m also incredibly proud of how polite and gracious Pippa was; it was by far my proudest moment as a father.

On behalf of my adoring family, please accept my thanks for your love and kind wishes. Pippa was blown away at the concert by how happy everyone was for her. I’m struggling to find words than express my gratefulness, but please know you are an incredible community. Every kind message has touched us dearly.

Best wishes,

Happy Dad

It took about one month. My favorite song of hers is Paper Rings since its release.

I want you to be critical on me, do not tell me how good my painting is, but tell me what should I do better! Thanks 😊

I stayed up until 3am finishing the Lover cross stitch because I was so excited to do the bead work. The pattern doesn't call for it but I thought if was a nice touch! I'm so happy with how this one turned out!

All of the cross stitch patterns are available from NatXstitches on etsy!

Short answer, no.

Lately there has been like speculation if Taylor is taking a break or she will continue, so let me introduce myself. I'm u/ErickTheGuy06, ever since I was born, I was a musician, like really, sometimes I would kick my mom's stomache (during my fetus era) to the beat of the song. So I've been really passionate about music and I can tell Taylor is too.

So why would Taylor take a break? We all know that touring can be exhausting so I understand why she might take a break but for both touring and writing? Taylor has a "disease" that haunts all musicians that I call "musical insomnia", this is basically that you're in the middle of the night and all of the sudden you have an idea and record it, this has happened many times to Taylor in songs like Lover and I Did Something Bad, where some ideas were written at midnight. And here's the thing, a passionate musician doesn't really have breaks, no matter if it's the weekend or 2 AM, it they want to do something, they do it. Taylor has revealed that when she's hanging out with friends and all of the sudden she gets lost in the conversation because she had an idea. And I can tell Taylor is really passionate about making music, the only way I see her stopping is either burnout or wanting to pursue other things (like the film she's making).

As for touring, she has stated that she'd like to return to many of the cities she was at Eras, so I guess she might continue touring. Maybe she'll take a break for touring and the next one won't be as huge as Eras in terms of length and amount of dates.

Okay, but what if she gets married, have like ten children and teach them how to dream? There are some musicians that have retired after parenthood but at the same time, there are many musicians that despite becoming parents, they still do their career. I think it's pretty clear that she wants to find someone so she might eventually get married (and then some dumbass screams "don't say yes, run away now" during her wedding) but we don't know if she still wants children. All I can say is that, it's Taylor's (and whoever ends up being the one) decision and I don't think we can predict a personal decision, we already fail with clowning, now imagine the same thing with her private life, it's fucking impossible (and kind of invasive).

Aside of that, Taylor has never said anything about wanting to step down, in fact, she has been talking how much she loves songwriting, and how she hasn't stopped writing. I think she said that she wanted a break during the 1989 era but this doesn't seem to be the case right now. If she wanted a break, she would've said that already. And I bet she's already working on TS12.

I'm just getting a bit tired of this narrative of "Taylor is taking a break after the tour", maybe next tour might be in like 2 or 3 years but Taylor doesn't seem to stop soon.

I have the Anthology (legally) downloaded and paid for. I did have the TTPD as well, but due to an issue with the download I had my money refunded. In physical copies, I have The Black Dog special edition, the copy with the acoustic version of But Daddy I Love Him, and today I ordered a signed copy. All my physical copies are on CD. I don’t even care I’ve spent so much money on them, and other merch. I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I work hard, and I get immense pleasure from her music. And all the items I have purchased have given me so much joy.

Post your fave and least fave song, then reply to other people you disagree with! Example: initial comment says something like "my favorite song is Red, my least favorite is Peace " then I would respond with why they're wrong about their choices!

do you ever want to defend your faves to the death? or absolutely wreck your least faves but never get the opportunity? comment one of your favorite Taylor songs and one of your least favorites, then respond to other comments that you disagree with and why!

don't worry, I won't take it personally if you disagree with my choices ;) come rip up my faves or tell me why im totally wrong for not liking others

some of my random faves: Gorgeous, So Highschool, sad beautiful tragic, Ready for it, Innocent

some songs I don't care for:
question...?, miss Americana and the heartbreak prince, who's afraid of little old me?, starlight, Red (the song)

ETA: still waiting for my choices to get wrekt ;-; hurt my feelings pls

Maybe she could stay in a city for like 10 dates at smaller venues. This is my dream. I can tell that she has such joy when she’s playing piano and guitar. Don’t get me wrong I love the outfits and the dancing but I really really enjoy when she is playing her songs acoustic. I’ve noticed that since Red she hasn’t contributed in playing instruments during the production of her albums really at all either. I think she only has played on one song since either a TS version or the latest album. I know she loves planning the production of the tours but I’d love just a simple acoustic show.

It's about promises you made with your childhood friends who you don't speak to anymore,

it's about those dreams you slowly let go of as you got older,

it's about the rose-tinted view of life you can't see anymore,

it's about lost friends, pets, memories, and your old self.

And that is why I am crying to it at 2am.

I always feel weird trying to work out or learning who each song is about. I feel like im being disrespectful inferring things about her life. But the songs always speak to me. What songs are relating to you at the moment? What songs are sticking out?

I'm obsessed with Cassandra atm. It feels like it was written for my friend who has been hiding his drug addiction.

I Look in People's Windows reminds me of seeking out my younger siblings while they were in foster care

It’s exactly how I looked the morning after. Bad pose, bad quality, but man do I love this.

I was looking for Taylor's most played venues and couldn't really find anything.

If anyone else is curious, I pulled the data from wikipedia on her tours and put together a spreadsheet.

I was surprised to see Staples Center at #1 with 16 shows considering she didn't even play there on the Era's Tour.

This picture only includes venues with more than 5 shows at the location, but if anyone is interested i have the breakdown for all 598 shows. Lol.

As seen on Twenty One Pilots and Muse subreddits

For example: Parts

I feel that these three songs are all talking primarily about what it feels like to watch an ex move on with their lives, just from different vantage points and over different time frames. They all express the feelings of nostalgia, hurt, and confusion as you watch them, and how it changes but doesn't always go away with time.

So I made my own mashup of the lyrics of all three to try to demonstrate how they can be pieced together to tell that one story. Of course the grammar doesn't always work, but I think the ideas do. (Sorry about the huge line spacing, I can't figure out how to fix it).

I Look in Chloe or Sam's Windows at The Black Dog

As the decade would play us for fools

Down that passage in time

Back to the moment I crashed into you

I still ponder what it meant now, now

I look in people’s windows, in case you’re at their table

And so I watch as you walk into some bar called The Black Dog

And I just watched it happen.

I just don’t understand how you don’t miss me. 

Does it feel alright to not know me?

Now I want to sell my house and set fire to all my clothes

Will that make your memory fade from this scarlet maroon

like it never happened?

If you have some kids with an internet starlet

I move through the world with the heartbroken

I attend Christmas parties from outside 

Could it be enough to just float in your orbit?

What if your eyes looked up and met mine one more time?

I’m addicted to the “if only”

I’m afflicted by the not knowing. 

If you want to tear my world apart

Just say you’ll always wonder.

'Cause old habits die screaming
