i fear we moved a little too quickly past the fact that "Ruin the Friendship (advice version)" reveals that the OG lyrics were...

"Wilted corsage dangles from *OUR WRISTS*
Over his shoulder, I catch a glimpse
And see you looking at mе"

but in album version she hetifies it to "from my wrist"...

Screenshot of a tweet by the user Folklush (@folklush29) that reads: “Guys look… Same thing being tweeted word to word by different accounts at the same time, even down to the minute????”

Below it are three tweets shown under the “Latest” tab on X (formerly Twitter):

1. The Royal Word (@TheRoyalWord): “i’m literally submerging my head in a bowl of water repeatedly in hopes of never hearing about this PR romance again.”

2. Angela Onyeabor (@onyeaboran…): “i’m literally submerging my head in a bowl of water repeatedly in hopes of never hearing about this PR romance again.”

3. blubby. (@bluntsforblubby): “i’m literally submerging my head in a bowl of water repeatedly in hopes of never hearing about this PR romance again.”

All three tweets are identical, posted within the same three-hour window, replying to @PopBase and @LateNightSeth. Folklush’s tweet highlights the identical timing and wording, implying coordinated or automated posting.

On October 11, 2016 Taylor Swift went to dinner with Cara Delevingne, Suki Waterhouse, and Dakota Johnson at the Waverly Inn and they wrote “It’s all a part of the fucking story” on a paper table cloth and posted it to IG. They were photographed leaving with the paper and the IG post was deleted. 📖

“Once I had actually accepted the fact that I’m gay, I didn’t have to really “come out” to anyone because they all already knew. Even my mom.”

Full interview on After Ellen from 2011: afterellen.com/an-interview....

AE: So let’s talk about your coming out – what was that like? Can you give us the story?

KS: In my last year of high school I switched to an alternative school in Toronto, which is a school that’s much smaller in size than a regular high school and uses alternative methods of teaching. They tend to attract a lot of kids who don’t really fit in with the regular secondary school crowds — i.e. gay ones. It was here I met openly gay lesbians for the first time, and was introduced to the idea of queer culture.

Though it would take me a while to feel comfortable with my gay identity – I was just figuring it out at this point – I was kind of thrown out of the closet in an unfortunate event that involved me kissing one of these openly gay lesbians drunkenly at a party, and everyone that I’ve ever known finding out about it within 24 hours. From that point on I was “a gay,” despite the fact I wasn’t quite ready to go so far and say it about myself. Apparently it wasn’t too hard for people to come to that conclusion.

Once I had actually accepted the fact that I’m gay, I didn’t have to really “come out” to anyone because they all already knew. Even my mom.

I just realized I love the original Showgirl cover so much because it reminds me of the cover of The Lure and Taylor looks like a siren ready to lure men in for the kill.

So now I’m going to be rewatching The Lure today ✨

my aversion is a combo of it sounding xmasy (i h*te xmas & xmas music- just feels & sounds superficial to me- definitely a part of the point tho i think) & the christian vibes "oh, my lord, never made no one like you before" but I think it's more like a she's frank n furter "i can make u a man" vibe

TAYLOR IS REFERENCING “BREAD & CIRCUSES” THAT IS WHY THERE IS ALL THE BREAD IT IS PANEM ET CIRCENSES!!! IT ALL MAKES SENSE TO ME NOW

vm.tiktok.com/ZNdn3QpM6/

Bread and circuses
Article Talk
This article is about a concept in political satire. For other uses, see Bread and Circuses (disambiguation).
"Bread and circuses" (or "bread and games"; from Latin: panem et circenses) is a metonymic phrase referring to superficial appeasement. It is attributed to Juvenal (Satires, Satire X), a Roman poet active in the late first and early second century CE, and is used commonly in cultural, particularly political, contexts.
In a political context, the phrase means to generate public approval, not by excellence in public service or public policy, but by diversion, distraction, or by satisfying the most immediate or base requirements of a populace, 111 by offering a palliative: for example food (bread) or entertainment (circuses). Juvenal originally used it to decry the "selfishness" of
