The Eras Tour is a feat. It’s live music at its highest spectacle and greatest excess. And for most, without the catalog and showmanship of Swift, it’d be too much. But 17 years into her career, maybe we ought to stop being surprised when she finds a way to top her own efforts year after year.
Rolling Stone - Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour is a 3-Hour Career-Spanning Victory Lap (x)

I honestly haven’t looked yet but if anyone so much as hints at the idea that Taylor is “moving backwards” (lol) from her work on FolkMore with Midnights I will be calling their attention to this paragraph of Rolling Stones 100/100 instant classic review:

but fr outside of my contracted madness i absolutely refuse to give joe alwyn gold rush like how is that song at all related to their relationship the lyrics clearly spell out a relationship that either never existed or only existed in implication and fantasies and maybe-maybe nots and its so bitter and yet desperately soft in the bridge where it almost projects a sense of envy, of wanting to be them as much as you want them. It continues an interesting oft ignored lyrical trend of taylor wanting just as much to be her lover as to have them, envying their easy charisma (you were flush with the currency of cool/i was always turning out my pockets) or quiet dignity (your integrity makes me seem small) dating back to her earliest songs (the kind of flawless i wish i could be). Theres a projected self hatred and yearning to be better that twists itself into both romantic and sexual lust for her partners thats so fascinating and speaks to how all of her songs regardless of who theyre about are also an act of self reflection on who she is and who she wishes to be.

HELLO!
My name is El, I'll take any pronouns. This is basically a list of my interests and stuff I like so that I can pin it in case anyone is interested. I'm neurodivergent and usually my hyper fixations swing between these every couple of months
Marauders Era HP
Dead Poets Society
Good Omens
Peaky Blinders
Formula One
Doctor Who
Crime Dramas (LINE OF DUTY AND VERA ESPECIALLY!!!)
I love reading, especially classics, actions and anything well written with a sad ending.
I love poetry and Emily Dickinson is my fav poet
I collect records!
Pasta is my favourite food ever ever ever (I eat it so much I genuinely think I have a condition)
I write fanfiction sometimes (whenever I have motivation and I'm not too busy)
60s/70s music (The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, The Velvet Underground) I honestly just have a massively diverse music taste there's no way to pin it down, like it goes from Lana Del Rey to Adam and the Ants to the Smiths to TV Girl and I have a playlist with 768 songs on that I shuffle whenever I want to listen to music.
- Boy Genius & especially Phoebe Bridgers
- Hozier (I'm seeing him live in June and Lord Huron!)
- I'm the biggest Billy Joel fan to ever exist
- Taylor Swift (The music and not the person - I don't support some of the things she's done)
Thank you for reading <3

Record Store owners on how Taylor Swift has helped them with sales:
“I never in my wildest dreams thought I’d have to think about Taylor Swift [vinyl] as much as I do now, I have to hustle so hard to get that stuff because it always sells out really fast, it’s hard to find, and people want it. If we don’t have it, it’s a problem. It’s changed how I approach my job.”
“We couldn’t survive without the Taylor Swift sales, The customers showed me that they'll just keep on going and it's never gonna stop.”

“I think that people who are against Gaylors think we’re way more serious about it than we are. A lot of the things we say are jokes or ideas or possible theories,” Liv says. “And at the end of the day, none of us know what the truth is about her personal relationships. And we shouldn’t want to because [Taylor Swift] is entitled to her privacy.”
