The MURDER of George Floyd infuriated me beyond words. I am so angry about this I don’t even know where to start. The police in this country have proven time and time again that being a black man in this country is a DEATH SENTENCE. Never had a black man’s word been taken seriously, not even when he told the officer that he COULD NOT BREATHE as the officer WAS KNEELING ON HIS NECK. he did this until George Floyd’s body went LIMP beneath him, and CONTINUED to kneel on his neck even after he was dead. There is video footage. And all the media had to say is that the officers were fired. They were FIRED??? THEY ARE MURDERERS. Say his name. George Floyd.

This painting is on a 2ftx18in canvas and with a total of 67 and a half HOURS put into this painting, I get to say I'm finally finished!

There are so many hidden details on this painting and nods to different aspects of this era.

The string of Christmas lights each have 13 lights on them, except for the ends which have 6 and 7.

The butterfly flies between Big Ben, featured in the Me! music video, and the Eiffel Tower, referencing Je suis Calme! and the #CityOfLover concert. London Boy is colored as the British flag. The hands on Big Ben point to 1 PM, or 13:00 in military time.

The rose is for the performances where she had a wall of roses. The purple flowers are seen in the You Need to Calm Down Amazon music lip promo.

The cornelia flower is shown as it is in the many pictures on the spotify song backgrounds. Then the yellow daisy is known from the pictures from the album, of which @taylorswift put them over her eye, put in her mouth and wore on a headband.

Right beside these flowers lay a stack of three books. A reference to Paper Rings. The top book reads T❤J. The colors of the two bottom book are self-representing. The light blue is the color of my locked journal (which references the journal theme of this album) and the orange is my favorite book that was given to me from a past Lover.

Straight across, above the rainbow of You Need to Calm Down is a ladybug, which is a nod to the Stella McCartney mural that helped announce Lover. There's a ladybug on the mural.

One of the last hidden gems in this painting is on the path of the Cornelia Street lyrics. Where you can see shoe prints. The vines by the daisy flower represent the garden gate. Cornelia Street is in New York, in a sense that path represents an area of America ( @taylorswift ) while on the other side of the "gate" is the Europe, mainly Britian (Joe). Cruel Summer's bridge (shown below) features @taylorswift "creep[ing] in through the garden gate, Every night that summer just to seal [her] fate". In a sense she has to goes from "America" through the "gate" to get to Joe, whose British and represented by the Britain/European side. Continuing with this in Cruel Sunmer and Cornelia Street both song mention a bar, while in London Boy @taylorswift mentions a pub. Leading to my belief that Cruel Summer is referenced to be in the US. Likely what happened coming home to her "place on Cornelia Street." The foot prints on Cornelia Street are represented by pink shoes (for the Lover Era) for @taylorswift and a deep blue for Joe (whose favorite color is blue, and @taylorswift references the color towards him in Cruel Summer).

No matter what, my #LoverPainting means all the world to me and I truly hope @taylorswift and @taylornation get to see it. It challenged my abilities with art and it gave me something to look forward to during quarantine. Love has burned me, it made me a cynic, it healed me, it strengthened me, it helped me grow. And @taylorswift music was there for all of it. Even with me now, when I'm finding solace in being single, optimistic about my future, and hoping to move out again someday. I've come to realize that sometimes you need to just let go of what happens. You can always remember them, and as @taylorswift said, you don't have to forgive them. But the Daylight will always come.

The Lover album is a masterpiece.

>also the breaker in my room JUST went out for the first time in the 6 years my mom has had this apartment. It was only my room. Fun fact that we learned: my room is breaker 13.

After the Eiffel Tower, I knew I needed to make a toast to London Boy and Me! on my Lover painting. And so right above the London Boy lyrics (which is also the British Flag), I decided to paint Big Ben. Although incredibly small, Big Ben took almost 4 and a half hours to paint. I have never been more proud of a tiny piece of work, but I also know I don't want to draw or paint any architecture for a long time.

I never would have guessed I could in the first place though.

As City of Lover came, I had a major empty space. I was inspired to put the Eiffel Tower there. The show was amazing and I'm constantly listening to the live tracks over and over on @spotify 💕 but, again, I was afraid of architecture. I've never drawn any architecture in my life, so being able to draw it was really a surprise to myself. Again, this was the challenge that my Lover painting was giving me.

It took me 3 days of drawing roses over and over, until I could look at one and draw it. I did it. I was terrified to draw it again on the canvas. But I did it. I was even more terrified that I would paint it and ruin everything that I'd worked so hard on. But I did it. At this point, I understood my Lover painting would be more than just a fan painting. It would be a challenge for myself. A challenge of trust and patience. And a test to see what I could be capable of.

In the past few weeks I've been working really hard on my Lover Painting, accomplishing things I never thought I could draw or paint.

[rachelmissesyou]

This is us waiting 3 more days for #TaylorSwiftCityOfLover 😹💕

[rachelmissesyou]

I've watched this performance 1000 times since then. I can't believe it's been a year already 🤯😭💕

Strike the band up 🥁 one 🥁 🥁 two 🥁🥁🥁 three….for a #fbf! The @bbmas were one year ago today…take a moment and let that sink in 🤯💕 

[rachelmissesyou]

I wasn't okay when I watched this. But thank you to any and all essential workers. My best friend and his wife work as managers of a Publix and my sister's boyfriend works in a lab that tests Corona samples, my mom is still doing accounting for her company and has to still go into the office and handle money. I love them so much. Everyday I say a prayer for them and the amazing Healthcare workers and scientists around the world. The other day I picked up my medication from my drive through pharmacy at Walgreens and thanked all of them, but was told that nobody had done that. It makes me sad to see a line of cars and no one telling them a simple 'thank you for the hard work you're all doing.'

So if you haven't heard it today, thank you. Thank you to healthcare workers, scientists, delivery people, grocery store workers, every and all essential workers. And thank you for staying home. 💕

Thank you to all of the essential workers keeping us safe 🙏🏼 and thank you @glblctzn & World Health Organization for putting together such an amazing event. Let’s continue to be there for each other.

i’ve been so scared of making a post like this and embarrassed to even have to ask, but i’ve run out of choices. due to covid-19, my mom was laid off and hasn’t been working. we live paycheck to paycheck and we can no longer make ends meet. we have to pay this month’s rent on friday which we can’t afford, let alone any of the bills we pay monthly. my mom doesn’t qualify for unemployment and is our main source of income since i’m a college student. we also provide for my grandma who lives in venezuela & needs medications (she had cancer, and currently has osteoporosis + scoliosis) and we can no longer purchase her medications. my mom and i are scared of losing the place we live in and are terrified of my grandma deteriorating due to not having access to her medications. i just don’t know what else to do. anything helps, i truly mean that. and if you aren’t able to help monetarily, please help me by sharing this post. thank you in advance if you do help in any way.
