oooh interesting it was with aaron both times!!!

not that I need it anytime soon! just given the fact that she recorded 2 albums while on tour I think it’s highly likely

thinking about the probability that she’s working on ts13 as we speak

i love you guys sfm 😭 i know we wax poetic abt how great this place is all the time but it's special. even IRL there aren't groups that can have difficult discussions with nuance, teach & learn from each other, and support each other & mean it. in or out of fandom. we've curated something amazing.

I didn’t know taylor was in the documentary!! I did know about their song together, isn’t that the one with the lyric like “now I can’t walk straight, can’t talk straight” ?

also, her book detailing her experience is called “like me.” (relates to taylor’s song cowboy like me) there’s some evidence that she knew taylor well at the beginning of taylor’s career and there are photos of them together around that time

somehow it always comes back to antisemitism with conspiracy theories

SO GOOD ISNT IT

bean 🦋🧚🏻‍♂️✨🌈 @bookwormbean.bsky.social · 23h

I had a dream last night I saw taylor in person and the ring looked way smaller and I had to stop myself from telling her that hahaha

bean 🦋🧚🏻‍♂️✨🌈 @bookwormbean.bsky.social · 23h

and I wish I had infinite time to explore the eras tour visuals because I know they changed over the course of the tour and I just can’t get over how rich and detailed they were. she truly is the mastermind and she has an incredible team to pull off all these details so beautifully!!!

bean 🦋🧚🏻‍♂️✨🌈 @bookwormbean.bsky.social · 23h

I feel like I could make a whole spiderweb of connections between songs she sang on different dates and songs she wore in other dresses (maybe i’ll do a thread on the orange dress next?). there’s just so much there

bean 🦋🧚🏻‍♂️✨🌈 @bookwormbean.bsky.social · 23h

I just think about these mashups all the time, especially the last leg when they really seemed to be telling a story about falling in love and also reckoning with having to possibly say goodbye to her fans, begging them to see the signs and to stay with her

1

bean 🦋🧚🏻‍♂️✨🌈 @bookwormbean.bsky.social · 23h

anyway I don’t really have any conclusions to make based on this BUT. I know her outfit choices on tour must have been so intentional and for her to add these last four dresses for the last leg is pretty wild when you consider what the colors represent (🩷💙, 🩷🧡, 💙💜 and 💙🤍🧡)

that I was onto something
the family, the pure greed, the christian chorus line
they all said nothing
blood’s thick but nothing like a payroll
bet they never said a prayer for my soul
you can mark my words, I said it first
in a mourning warning no one heard”

in this mashup she also sang the bridge of cassandra twice and she sang her lil booty off

this bridge is so showgirl coded

“they knew, they knew, they knew the whole time

ms chronically online had to have seen that we were guessing she’d play this mashup and I like to think she added IDSB to show she’s always one step ahead, she’s always got another trick up her sleeve

1

bean 🦋🧚🏻‍♂️✨🌈 @bookwormbean.bsky.social · 23h

of course the addition of IDSB was a red herring flag for rep TV which we were all clowning hard for at this point given alll of the debutation signs, the new rep bodysuit, the rep flagging in her outfits from pap walks, etc. but of course, who’s going to troll us like her 😈
