I went to the Eras Tour Movie yesterday

As an asian Swiftie- worse, any Indian Swiftie with no chance of ever actually going to a concert- going to the movie was perhaps my closest shot at the communal experience of a concert. I think Taylor releasing the movie here has been a godsend. A few thoughts:

Fandoms deserve communal experiences! It's why we have Comic Cons and Anime expos and concerts! Being deprived of this, the Swiftie community in India has long suffered. Recently, there have been Swiftie Nights- parties of fellow swifties with food and drinks carrying a moderate fee however, they're not attended by many (too late in the evening, people live in remote places, tickets can be a bit pricey) It's a valiant effort by the community and it's very fun but it's not very accessible. Releasing the movie in every theatre (which are definitely more accessible than a party hall) has enabled even those living in remote conditions to fully experience community.

I went in alone and came out with friends and i so desperately miss the entire thing.

The energy was so wholesome and it all felt very safe. Let's be real- dancing in a crowd of strangers can be scary at times (especially if you're from this part of the world and grew up somewhat demurely) but not once did I feel scared or anxious.

I think why so many people have post-concert depression from the movie (and from the concert itself) is because it's one of the few places you can truly be yourself. You're ugly dancing, screaming your heart out in the most tone deaf way to music some (unfortunately misguided) people find derivative or boring. And there is no judgement in that theatre, in the empty space right in front of the screen. Nobody judging you. What I'm saying is, in the three hours in the theatre, I felt like I was rid of shackles. Joy and laughter and glitter and the sense of belonging. And maybe part of the reason we miss those hours despite them being just a few hours is that we miss that freedom and that community and I guess all I'm saying is i had the time of my life singing Taylor Swift with you 💜

November 3-4, 2023 - The internet can't wait.

Destiel trends as the internet braces itself for the next November 5th. As in the previous years, the trend began before the actual anniversary [x] [x], which may be a futile attempt at softening the impact. But don't be fooled - no matter how much we prepare, it's not gonna get any easier.

Watching Kendrick Lamar create and record his verses on the Bad Blood remix was one of the most inspiring experiences of my life. I still look back on this collaboration with so much pride and gratitude, for the ways Kendrick elevated the song and the way he treats everyone around him. Every time the crowds on The Eras Tour would chant his line ‘you forgive, you forget, but you never let it… go!’, I smiled. The reality that Kendrick would go back in and re-record Bad Blood so that I could reclaim and own this work I’m so proud of is surreal and bewildering to me. I’m overjoyed to say that the Bad Blood Remix (featuring Kendrick Lamar) is available everywhere on the 1989 Deluxe Edition. 🫶🩵 http://taylor.lnk.to/1989TaylorsVersion

right there by your side bestie, IT WAS TRULY THE TRENCHES

it’s seriously so annoying that the fandom will always hate on taylor’s most recent album and then suddenly start appreciating it years later. rep stans are everywhere now but i was there when the album released, you can’t fool me. there will be hordes of midnights stans this time next year, mark my words

What a truly mind blowing thing you’ve turned The Eras Tour Concert Film into. I’ve been watching videos of you guys in the theaters dancing and prancing and recreating choreography, creating inside jokes, casting spells, getting engaged, and just generally creating the exact type of joyful chaos we’re known for 😇 One of my favorite things you’ve done was when you supported Cruel Summer SO much, I ended up starting The Eras Tour show with it. For old times sake, I’m releasing the live audio from the tour so we can all shriek it in the comfort of our homes and cars PLUS a brand new remix by LP Giobbi 😜 Thank you, so much, forever, wow, just thank you!!! https://taylor.lnk.to/thecruelestsummer

haven't stopped thinking about this actually [x]

Not to make everything she dies in her personal life mean something marketing-wise, but I am personally really here for this phase of the 1989 TV rollout where Taylor is seen out on the town cultivating her female friendships with a host of powerful women in a squadlike manner, not a man in sight

"How to get rid of the fucked up clown on your dashboard" I would never unfollow my mutuals like that :((

wwdits is building up to the most heartbreaking scene when nandor finds out that guillermo was turned by derek. like, in the most recent episode alone, he was pleading with the baron to have mercy, he clutched guillermo’s sweater like it was his last lifeline and weeped, and had the card he gave him THIRTEEN YEARS AGO memorized. i don’t know if i am emotionally prepared to see how he reacts.

hear me out: “i love everything about you. i love being near you. breathing the same air,” is not part of a letter to ed. it’s something stede says to ed in person (i speculate in a romantic scene). “dear ed” and “i think of you often, hope you’re thinking of me as well,” are both spoken, but “i love everyone about you. i love being near you. breathing the same air,” is whispered and has an echoey resonance that the other voice over lines for stede do not. they’re from different scenes. i’m all apart!!!!
