i feel like if there is some out there they’ll probably be on like b99 fan accounts on instagram or something? i’m sure they exist i’ve seen fan accounts for lots of movies/tv shows out there. either way if i happen across one i’ll post it here bc like i said.. both would be perfection 🤌🏻

wicked wednesdays are the highlight of my week, fr! and with the release of the fandango interview today i think that’s a sign the official press campaign is starting really really soon, and obviously the first one was iconic so i’m really excited for that, bc we’ll be getting so much content

erika | SHOWGIRL ERA ❤️‍🔥 & wicked for good🧹🫧 @speaknowdept.swifties.social · 1d

the girlies are feeding us so well today we love to see it!! happy start of wicked: for good season to all who celebrate 🙂‍↕️🫧🧹

theres a lot of stuff at amc and regal theaters, but i believe you have to buy a ticket and get it in person! (at least some)- its all kinda expensive which is criminal bc i want all of it but i can’t get everything lol

when you want to be a showgirl but unfortunately you have to be a working-a-9-to-5-adult-job girl and you can’t focus or get anything done with the album on 😔😔

every time i’ve listened to this bridge it’s broken me actually like it’s so crazy much i relate to this song, all the way down to breaking a limb on a trampoline when i was a teenager lmao like HOW DID SHE KNOW

erika | SHOWGIRL ERA ❤️‍🔥 & wicked for good🧹🫧 @speaknowdept.swifties.social · 2d

i really need to start skipping eldest daughter when i’m listening to it in public CAUSE IM CRYIN AT THIS DAMN BRIDGE AGAIN AND IM AT WORK DANGIT TAYLOR 😭😭

erika | SHOWGIRL ERA ❤️‍🔥 & wicked for good🧹🫧 @speaknowdept.swifties.social · 3d

personally i don’t think we as a society have talked about the eldest daughter bridge nearly enough. like, people are saying this isn’t a real track 5 when THIS is the bridge??? this is like you’re on your own kid’s older sister but yall aren’t ready for that conversation

a screenshot on apple music of the lyrics to the bridge of “eldest daughter” by taylor swift

erika | SHOWGIRL ERA ❤️‍🔥 & wicked for good🧹🫧 @speaknowdept.swifties.social · 2d

when taylor swift said “put narcotics into all my songs” i think that was an easter egg for opalite actually cause i swear i’m not a dancer by any means but that song makes me want to 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼

does anyone know when the spotify/apple music wrapped cuts off for this year?? it has to be in october right?? cause if it’s sometime in november i fear showgirl will be competing with the wicked/wicked: for good soundtracks 😂 (it may be a close race between taylor & wicked for top artist anyway 😂)

erika | SHOWGIRL ERA ❤️‍🔥 & wicked for good🧹🫧 @speaknowdept.swifties.social · 2d

so valid! i feel like in some ways eldest kids in general can relate to this song because the bridge especially reflects on childhood and the passage of time, etc
