fearless is written twice on the wall (in white, then in red on top of it), karma is written 3 times (in black, with orange on top, and then below that in white), and 1989 is also represented twice (in dark blue and in white). here's what that would look like viewed from the other side of the wall

a chaotic image i can't really sum up based on my theory of the other side of the wall

We are in the second stage of abstraction of Taylor swift (the first was nonobjective fragmentation in Midnights)

We are seeing metaphors like wood that they are so broad that they could mean anything

We are deconstructing

www.countrylife.co.uk/luxury/art-a... if you prefer a read instead of a watch, this is a great article about her and her most famous work - a self-portrait called "birthday" - and happened to be published april 26, 2019 (me! day)

In Focus: Dorothea Tanning's 'Birthday', the paradoxical self-portrait that challenged and redefined Surrealism

The life and career of Surrealist artist Dorothea Tanning spanned two continents and more than a century. Lilias Wigan picks out a key image from the current exhibition celebrating Tanning's work at T...

youtu.be/zTmq2hgzReQ?... i learned about dorothea tanning last night, a surrealist artist who came up in the 30s and 40s in the male-dominated field... there are certainly multiple dorotheas taylor has paid homage to, i feel sure this is one of them!

dsl.ac.uk/entry/snd/sw.... the definition of "swiff" in the scottish national dictionary... "The motion itself or the hissing or whizzing sound made by some object flying swiftly through the air, a rush of air, a whirr, as of a wheel spinning"

seth meyers "corrections" segment tonight: "it's pronounced taylor swift, not tyler swiff... thank you to the audio department for cleaning that up. and just thanks to her for rolling with it every time i said it wrong." then he explains that he's joking because that's what corrections is 💀👍

i love that you can get these screenshots with both sets of these lyrics on-screen for a tiny moment at :58 (=13) and 1:57 (=13) ... "you give it different meaning, cause you mean it when you talk"...... dang, we do give it different meaning, because we DO mean it and think about it when we talk

screenshot from the "honey" lyric video "you give it different meaning cause you mean it when you talk Honey, I'm home, we can play house"

the interpolation conversation has me chewing on tloas maybe being conceptualized similar to the great impersonator by halsey…

idk what to do with that but it’s so interesting how every track on the album instantly reminded people of something else

if "we all dressed up like wolves and we looked fire" do you think that makes her like... the alpha? lol ok derek hale. so are we out of the 🪵WOODs🌳 YET? since we no longer need to knock on it, after all. this works even without the teen wolf reference but we know she's seen it

taylor swift ready for it music video screenshot of taylor up close with her eyes lit up light blue

derek from teen wolf in a screenshot from the most recent teen wolf movie, in the series a wolf's eyes turn blue when they take an innocent life

taylor swift lyric video for out of the woods... two ghostly looking wolves run towards a cliff preparing to hurdle themselves into some kind of galaxy space swirling supernova hurricane situation. the scene is framed by a kind of creepy dark tree branch situation and in each corner the branches curl around a glowing orb that i assume is the moon, i guess it looks like the moon. a secondary light beige kind of frame on the outside of the moon border sort of makes it look like the video is happening within a polaroid, with "taylor's version 1989" written in light blue along the top edge

god this is just so good. fraternal souls sing identical thing is like BREAKING ME, because "fraternal" would imply brotherhood but what she's developed incredibly strong sisterhood through her music. she's built a weapon out of a fandom, her kingdom. it IS frightening. afraid? you should be

taylor swift's "the shiny bug" poem from the life of a showgirl:
Tonight all these lives converge here
The mosaics of laughter and cocktails of tears
Where fraternal souls sing identical things
And it's beautiful, It's rapturous, It is frightening
It's worth everything it has cost you
And even at your darkest or drunkest
You wouldn't say any different
Would you?
You would choose all of it again
No matter how the story ends
With the ugliest boos or the loveliest boquet
They say that love is a choice you make every single day
And that is how you love the life of a showgirl
