imagine thinking you can just call people a slur
Kiddo…. Dick Van Dyke….. is his name
I don’t have context for this and I hope I never get any
I’ve always said that the world is a different place for the heartbroken. It moves on a different axis, at a different speed. Time skips backwards and forwards fleetingly. The heartbroken might go through thousands of micro-emotions a day trying to figure out how to get through it without picking up the phone to hear that old familiar voice. In the land of heartbreak, moments of strength, independence, and devil-may-care rebellion are intricately woven together with grief, paralyzing vulnerability and hopelessness. Imagining your future might always take you on a detour back to the past. And this is all to say, that the next album I’ll be releasing is my version of Red.
Musically and lyrically, Red resembled a heartbroken person. It was all over the place, a fractured mosaic of feelings that somehow all fit together in the end. Happy, free, confused, lonely, devastated, euphoric, wild, and tortured by memories past. Like trying on pieces of a new life, I went into the studio and experimented with different sounds and collaborators. And I’m not sure if it was pouring my thoughts into this album, hearing thousands of your voices sing the lyrics back to me in passionate solidarity, or if it was simply time, but something was healed along the way.
Sometimes you need to talk it over (over and over and over) for it to ever really be… over. Like your friend who calls you in the middle of the night going on and on about their ex, I just couldn’t stop writing. This will be the first time you hear all 30 songs that were meant to go on Red. And hey, one of them is even ten minutes long.
Red (Taylor’s Version) will be out November 19.
[REST].
But if you just focus on the work and you don’t let those people sidetrack you, someday, when you get where you’re going, you will look around and you will know.
I’m completely appalled and disgusted right now. And this is for all you fucking bitches who love to talk shit on Taylor, you fucking know who you are. You love to belittle her, and use the fucking Kanye situation to prove your hatred. In the last hour, the real phone call between Taylor and Kayne got leaked. She said she NEVER knew Kanye was going to say “I made that bitch famous”, he told her about “I feel like Taylor Swift might owe me sex” and that’s where he finished the conversation. She said she was fine with that lyric bc that’s how rapers talk. Kim recorded that phone call because she KNEW Taylor would be upset over it, and PURPOSELY edited that part of the call out when she released the phone call videos (which was ILLEGAL). Taylor Swift has broken more records than a majority of artists. In the past decade she’s had the most successful career, and has won more awards than any other artist (at least I believe so). Y’all love to tear down her Grammy speech about people taking credit for your success, and y’all called her a liar. She didn’t call out the line “I think Taylor Swift might owe me sex” once, she ONLY ever called out the line of him claiming her fame. Women work their asses off and men still assume they own it. Men believe women can’t be successful without them. I know not all men, but too many men. Taylor wrote her ENTIRE ‘speak now’ album on her own, and won TWO Grammys for that album. Too many of you “feminists” on my friends list always seem to find a problem in her, even though your attacks stem from misogyny. And it’s because she’s a powerful successful woman. We all fucking know if another “less controversial” artist was in the same spot, y’all would be defending her in an instance. I completely believe in white heterosexual privilege, and Taylor does too. Taylor has had her moments of ignorance and past mistakes, but if you see a single thing she’s done recently, you should know how much she’s done.
Here’s a list for all you “woke” folks who turn a blind eye to her good deeds.
- she heavily promoted the equality act, and her petition reached over 500,000 supporters. She has on multiple occasions publicly supported the bill and equality for the LGBTQA+ community.
- she’s publicly criticized women who don’t support women, specifically Marsha Blackburn.
- she’s shared her belief of systematic racism and the unfair legal system towards POC, and police brutality.
- she was sexually assaulted and won the case, but y’all still trivialize what she went through, when you wouldn’t do the same if it was another woman.
- she paid $250,000 to kesha’s legal fees with her trial against dr.luke. She also paid ALL of what dr.luke sued her for.
- she’s publicly spoken about her privilege during her sexual assault trial and how she was ‘lucky’ enough to have multiple witnesses and photos that proved it. She said her hearts break for the people who didn’t have that. For the people who never came forward because they were scared and feared they wouldn’t be believed, and that’s why it took me years to come forward.
- she’s donated at minimum $1,000,000 to LGBTQA+ charities.
- she got Apple Music to change their platform to ensure other artists got paid, even though it did not effect her.
- GoFundMe changed their policy due to her large donations.
- she’s donated countless amounts of money to schools.
- she’s an activist for a woman’s right to choose
- she publicly apologized to Nicki after she misunderstood that Nicki was talking about racism, and not attacking other women. Nicki publicly defended her after that.
- she wrote a song dedicated to Kayne after the VMA incident saying she forgives him.
- she’s been an activist against slut shaming.
- she choose to speak out against trump despite a room full of MEN telling her not to.
- she finally opened up about her eating disorder, which for me and other survivors of them, was empowering, and gave hope to those still suffering.
- she’s spent the past 2 years publicly sharing her defense with minority groups in America, while also recognizing her privilege, knowing that she isn’t a part of most of them.
- when Hayley Kiyoko used Taylor’s heterosexual privilege as an example against her homophobic experiences, Taylor publicly defended her and admitted that Hayley was being attacked due to her sexuality, and the two have since become best friends.
- Taylor wrote a whole entire song about supporting the LGBTQA+ community, and EVERY person in that video was apart of that community, yes, including trans people and people of color. But y’all would be rejoicing if literally any other artist did that.
- Taylor has spent millions upon millions of dollars for charitable causes.
But yeah, keep telling me how her amazing activism now won’t ever trump her previous ignorance.
I suggest all of you to watch her Netflix documentary, maybe y’all become a little less sexist.
My birthday is Monday and I’ve had to cancel LITERALLY every fucking thing, but Taylor finally getting her voice back in the Kayne situation is the best gift I could ask for.
ethereal

A cinematic masterpiece.
I just read this on twitter…
