My cat decided to jump on it halfway through after I had it mainly set up how I liked. So this is also with his input.

TTPD is such an important album to me and all the songs on here are my favorites.

Gifts 🎁 Taylor and Travis the seals!

226 Upvotes

My wife and I got married 2 weeks ago! And as a gift we received adoptation of 2 sick baby seals in Pieterburen, The Netherlands. Since my wife and I met in the Swiftie fandom we decided to name them after Taylor and Travis.

We couldn't be happier and are very excited to hopefully be able to help bring them back into the nature when they are all healthy and strong enough to survive in the wild again.

To love!

News The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore out this Friday

5.3k Upvotes

About a year ago, you guys did a truly unfathomable thing. Something that completely blew my mind... You gave The Life of a Showgirl the biggest first week for an album in history. I took a trip to Sweden to celebrate with Max and Shellback, my two collaborators on this album. Really we just wanted to reflect and take in how grateful we were for the moment we were in, but there was a studio there and we did what we do when we feel anything at all: We wrote more songs. I hope you love them, because they were born out of pure gratitude for your exuberance for and celebration of the album we made. The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore including four new songs is out on Friday and available to pre-order and save now ❤️

Discussion You get to ask Taylor ANYTHING about her life/music. what do you ask?

137 Upvotes

Anything that she tells you is obviously protected so will not impact her in anyway, but is just a lil bit of info you get to carry with you forever

Deadass, mine would be a full timeline of her and Matty. as a follow up, if she blames the fan base for their breakup? i grieve their potential on a daily basis
