none of us are surprised because your brain is the biggest!! congrats! 😎 🎉

people in the replies were saying the playlist "feels like a hug from taylor!!" and i'm just over here like "is this how english teachers feel when they can tell none of their students have read the assignment" 😭

genuinely thought of how you said christmas tree farm was a trojan horse while listening to the playlist because everyone saw this and ignored everything around it LOL

totally!! 🔥

...and of course, as per usual, no one is talking about it in the replies, they're just like "yay, festive! 🎄"

it's actually my new roman empire, because what do you MEAN "music that makes us feel cozy and warm" when this is the vibe of the playlist 😭

same!! maybe new year's day for me... but after that the nose is getting put away 🤡

YES, the make-up being so pristine when she walks in and then going to this is so cute 😭

TOO REAL

i think this might be my favorite taylor swift picture? it's honestly hard to say, but it's just so cute and genuine and she looks so pretty even in this candid state 😭

🙈 you're so sweet!! i love when we hivemind and build on each other's observations, it feels like we're putting together a big gay puzzle at a party or something and it's awesome hehe!! 🥰

YOUR BRAIN!! love this thread and the ellen observation – one of the keenest people on this app, as always!! 😌

HELL YEAHHH 😎

...and more that i'm probably forgetting! so many hints pointing towards taylor's birthday! i'm clowning for everything and nothing all at once, but most importantly i hope she has the birthday of her dreams after this incredible year! 🫶🏻 ❤️ 🎉

(feel free to add more to the thread!!)

- "we do exist in this society where women in entertainment are discarded in an elephant graveyard by the time they're 35" - taylor in miss americana
- does she want to flip the script on the industry before she thinks she'll get "discarded" at 35? (you never will be, taylor ❤️)

- this clock at the TTPD installation in los angeles, pointing towards 12/13 of this year (a friday! not a wednesday like in 1989, the day that taylor was born)

- last day of NOLA shows 10/27 ("mardi gras")
- 47 days traditionally happening between mardi gras and easter makes taylor's birthday "easter"
("what if i roll the stone away?" – rebirth/resurrection)
- "i act like it's my birthday every day"

i need december 13th to come and go already so i can stop clowning so hard 😭
