Okay so I made this earlier and had some photos and stuff too but apparently Tumblr glitched for me because I’m on school wifi and it’s the literal worst.

But anyways. R5. This is them.

They usually look happier than that but those are the faces they make on red carpets and in photoshoots. Also it’s actually pretty hard to find a photo where all five of them have the same look, hence the fact that one of them is grinning like the Cheshire cat.

It’s a pop rock band comprised of three brothers, their sister, and their family friend.

Left to right it’s Riker Lynch (26, bass guitar) then Rocky Lynch ( 23, lead guitar) then Ross Lynch (21, lead singer and rhythm guitar) my girl Rydel Lynch (24, keyboard) and Ellington Ratliff (24, drums) aka Ratliff so the band is all Rs and therefore R5.

Sidenote: Rydellington (Rydel and Ellington) are the cutest little things, look at them, awww

But ANYWAYS all otps aside, R5 would make a really good opening act for Taylor, in my opinion.

First of all, they both have kinda similar sounds. But also not at all because reputation is unlike anything else that has ever blessed my ears. However, their latest EP New Addictions is described as “darker” as their previous music, which is the same way many people described rep before it came out.

Second of all, I think they would honestly just mesh so well with Taylor?? Like I think they’re all personality compatible and tbh I would ship all the boys with her if they were single (and only Rocky is single but that’s complicated, like he still has feelings for someone) and if Tay weren’t so happy with Joe because they’re also my otp. Also, R5 writes and produces all their own music so they would have that in common. I even think the Lynches’ mom (Stormie) would get along really well with Andrea, like they’d talk about having kids in the music industry and being dog owners and trade recipes and I’m here! For! It!

And third of all, I just really want my babies to get the recognition and fame they deserve. They really aren’t that big outside of our fandom, although it has grown considerably since Riker was on dancing with the stars and Ross just starred in My Friend Dahmer which is probably going to cause him and the band to blow up. But I digress. The band says they’re really a band you have to see live in order to understand them, and I feel like opening for Taylor would be a really good way to get themselves out to more people. They also aren’t really played on the radio outside of Radio Disney (Ross starred in Austin and Ally and both Teen Beach Movies so they have connections there) and honestly they deserve it so much because they’ve been hustling for years and deserve all the success in the world.

Also, they’re all Swifties to some extent, with Rydel being the biggest one out of all of them.

(also follow me on twitter I’m smileitoff)

And here’s Rocky’s reaction to the ready for it music video which was all of us, tbh.

I mean, relatable.

Now we’re getting onto the Receipts and Reasons™ part of this post where I’m going to show why I think they are (not just would be a good one) the opening act for the reputation tour.

Like Taylor, Ross is a Fitzgerald stan, and he posted this tweet on November 9th, right before reputation came out.

Honestly, he’s tweeted about Fitzgerald before so this may not be pointing towards Taylor but… it’s literally describing a wild Gatsby party like in tiwwchnt. And on rep eve…hmmmm….

He also recently talked about a great way to kick off your news years, right after rep dropped, and I mean it was talking about R5 tour dates in Japan but he literally referenced New year’s day.

And there’s another thing that there’s hardly any way it can be a coincidence, like okay he likes Fitzgerald and okay he talked about new years. Fairly common things right?

You know what not common?

Dressing as gender bent Hugh Hefner and Playboy bunnies, LIKE R5 DID ON HALLOWEEN!!!!

Like call it what you want to, but I call that evidence. (Also second from the left is baby brother Ryland, who’s not in the band but opens for them on their tours)

“I never trust a Playboy but they love me

So I fly ‘em all around the world

And I let them think they saved me”

OKAY THEY’RE LITERALLY PLAYBOYS!!! THEY’RE ALL SWIFTIES TO SOME EXTENT, THEY LOVE HER!!! IF THEY WENT ON TOUR WITH HER, SHE’D LITERALLY FLY THEM ROUND THE WORLD!!!! I MEAN THEY WOULDN’T THINK THEY SAVED HER BUT??

But to completely debunk my theory, see the below tweet

The context of this is that Ross said they had big news and everyone assumed someone was pregnant. But also, he said this in October and she could have asked after then? And also he could have just said that to throw people off. And, I mean, there’s no way Taylor would be scared of them opening for her, the only things she’s scared of are sea urchins. And snakes. And love ending. And a lot of other things. Also Ross was kidding in that, he’s actually a really sweet person.

But here’s one last piece of hope for anyone else invested in this post…

@taylorswift @taylornation

And just in case you haven’t chosen them as your opening act yet, would you please consider them? It would mean the world to me. 💕
