From Taylor’s Old Instagram Feed.

The way “I heard that you’ve been out and about with some other girl, you said what you heard is true but I can’t stop thinking about you, I said I’ve been there too a few times” makes the situation sound so sexy and fun and lighthearted and Is it Over Now is like “actually, I wanted to jump off a building!”

i’m not sad about it anymore like i was 2 days ago when the news broke but god it is ironic how an album that has a love song they wrote together about protecting their little bubble is ultimately what ended up kind of being the final blow to their relationship

i know, but i also think it's interesting in a way that i hadn't considered before that so many of the love songs on midnights are about trying to protect that little bubble. like paris, lavender haze, sweet nothing.....it just is more contextually interesting given that the bubble was where they thrived and out of the bubble, which had once felt easy, started to feel harder.

Not justifying the dickhead guy in the slightest but this is also why calcium hated harry so much!!!! He knew about their hookups and was probably aware how much she loved harry. Also wondering if she threw herself in that relationship because that would mean she won't go backto h

oh yeah I know why calvin hated harry. and i do fully believe that a part of tayvin's publicness was aimed at harry. harry was SUPPOSED to be hurt at the bbmas. that's why she mentions it in question... cause she was trying to hurt him. showing up your ex who you have unfinished business with is a thing and taylor was playing the game. and yeah i think a part of it was to tell herself not to go back and a part of it was to tell harry it was over.

tayvin started about haylor, there is kind of no doubt in my mind. and that's why calvin hated harry so much... cause he knew that he was a tool, a means to an end. but then it got to the point where harry was no longer a threat and he had won and he was just being a dick. like blocking fans with harry icons or going through the haylor hashtag on twitter (or unfollowing people here, which i still think he was responsible for) was just being a dick. harry wasn't going to win taylor back at that point, and those fans were not pushing her to him. he was just throwing power around.

2014!haylor is always going to be one of my favorite storylines from them because they were together secretly but couldn't make it, and also Taylor was in her 1989 era, an incredible whole album inspired by her relationship with Harry, and in every event they were there and gave us iconics moments like the one when he decided to whistle proudly to her at amas 2014. 2023!haylor is still great, greater, they are in good terms and can hug freely because that couldn't have happened back in the days because people hate the idea of them together but something about 2014 was magical but was the wrong moment and now is the perfect time but we don't know if they wanted to take that opportunity.

Speak Now (2010). Taylor Swift There is a time for silence. There is a time waiting your turn. But if you know how you feel, and you so clearly know what you need to say, you’ll know it. I don’t think you should wait. I think you should speak now.

taylorswift Dod this turn into anything on 1989?

"say don't go" and "all you had to do was stay" and "how you get the girl" and the theme of taylor just telling him how easy it is to fix things on 1989 and they consistently fuck it up when she's writing the most obvious blueprint for him and she's so clearly communicating what she needs I LOSE MY MIND

Something something about Harry possibly realizing the gravity of their love and how it still affects her now to an extent…idk not to be a haylor haylor, but WAKE UP. The fact Taylor was willing to ridicule herself just to be together because she knew his perception of her trumped the medias’ is something so special to me

it really makes you wanna go put question on and like actually ask him the question.... did you regret it you fucking idiot?????? cause like!!!!!!! she was so in love with him and was willing to throw herself into a fire for him and he was just so oblivious to his impact!!! with red tv we heard her call his laughter a disaster... she was so taken by him immediately. this was falling in love in the cruelest way. and he had her so hard she missed him so much and then he came back and she got spooked and he just....... bowed out. he started fucking around and jerking her around and that just was how they went for 2 fucking years.

it's heartbreaking and infuriating and i'm SURE that, just like when he hear question the first time a year ago, he is kicking himself for being such a dumbass kid back then

Not to be a haylor shipper but I always found it pretty sweet that Taylor has nearly two albums written about her painting her in the most beautiful light possible by someone who loved her deeply. The same girl who was shamed for writing about love and heartbreak to the point where she herself doubted her self worth and felt like she was 'poisoned ivy' that destroyed everything she touches has lyrics like "moonlight dances over your GOOD side" and "summertime and butterflies all belong to your creation" and "I'm missing half of me when were apart" that was inspired by her. Even if the world doesnt know that she knows. She knows she not only left her mark as an artist but as a muse. This is why I don't want gp or casual people to find out that hs1 is about her. There is something romantic about Taylor being a nameless faceless person in his art. Someone who knew her as Taylor and not Taylor Swift.

[P.s I don't think they are soul mates or meant to be. But the mark their relationship left within themselves and music as a whole is fascinating ]

i have nothing to add to this because you phrased it so beautifully. <333 (and i wish sometimes we had more space to talk about this without the caveat regarding ~shipping~, which is simply not the point!) it's a little insight that we get to hear, both musically and from that human perspective. those threads of gossamer inspiration and tenderness and shared artistry.

(your ps!!! 100%, and i think you can be meant to meet rather than meant to be. the moment in time still matters, and the ripples across the music and the stories told and the unspoken dialogue is SUCH a cool creative arc to follow.)

i keep watching videos of people going to the eras tour, girls dressing up with their friends, trading friendship bracelets with strangers, crying to surprise songs, holding each other during their favorite set. singing, and dancing, and screaming, and crying and all of it just feels like pure happiness. there's something so special about the unapologetic way girls get to just purely be themselves at the eras tour and it makes my heart so warm inside.

and it's not a gender thing, but the way teenage girls have constantly seen their interests diminished and overlooked makes this sense of community so much more special.

for so long i felt like there was something wrong with being stereotypically girly. god forbid pink is your favorite color, or you listen to pop music, or you have a stan account and posters of a boyband on your bedroom wall. god forbid you're still strong, and smart, and interesting.

and maybe it's because i'm in my twenties now, and i'm finally figuring out who i am, because fuck, being a teenager sucks, but i can look at the girls crying from their nosebleeds seats at the eras tour, or the girls dancing in line for a harry styles concert, or the group of friends that yelled "hi barbie" to me from their pink dresses on the other side of the street, and feel like there is a part of current pop culture, of mainstream media, that is finally, finally, allowing girls to experience girlhood without shame.

we love taylor. we love each other. look at us and the cute bracelets we trade with strangers. look at our pink outfits to go watch barbie at the theatre and our feathery boas at harry concerts and our kindles full of romance books. look. it's all so pretty.

i spent all my money on concert tickets, i'm going to the eras tour next year. i already warned everyone i'll cry during long live.

i'm making bracelets. i have a pinterest board for my outfit. i'm sharing ideas, because everyone else is doing the same. i made a playlist of my favorite songs and named it after taylor swift. i found an old one direction poster and put it back up on my wall. i learned how to crochet, and the first thing i made was a flower. the yard is pink. it's my favorite color.

i did my makeup. i read my favorite sally rooney novel on the train, with my headphones in. i'm twenty and i'm thirteen, and i'm nine, when pink was still my favorite color. i'm all of those girls, and all of them are me.

it really is the girlhood no one can't take away. it was ours first. we're taking it back.
