Okay, two full months later, I’m finally going to do this in honor of The Great War that was RSD weekend.
Here is your Vinyl Care & Storage Primer From You Local Longtime Swiftie Vinyl Collector : A🧵
If I put together a master thread about vinyl care and storage options for swifties who are new to collecting is that something people would be interested in?
evermore: ‘tis the damn season, kind of cold that, november flush, evergreen, it gets colder and colder, in from the snow, freezing hand, keep you warm, gray november, hey december, barefoot in the wildest winter, weather be the frost, kids & christmas
swifties: fall album
I’m gonna be honest, Taylor Swift being one of the people who doesn’t understand reputation is actually an album of gooey love songs was not on my 2023 bingo card…
Taylor Swift on revisiting ‘Reputation’:
“It’s a goth-punk moment of female rage at being gaslit by an entire social structure. I think a lot of people see it and they’re just like, Sick snakes and strobe lights.”
As a child in the early-90s, it never occurred to me that Barbies should make me feel bad about my body until all the adults in my life informed me that Barbies were going to make me feel bad about my body. So, who was imposing those unrealistic beauty standards, exactly?
@ftmensch
I think it’s fair to say that pretty much everyone has disordered eating, but not everyone has an eating disorder. It’s a subtle difference, but it does exist.
I’m sure this guy is great but I’m actually kind of flabbergasted that they must have had so many people who weren’t white men apply for this job and still managed to hire a white man
My name? Betty. My full name? Rebecca. My unreliable father’s name? Peter. My childhood bully’s name? Amy.
I’m absolutely totally fine and emotionally stable
Unpopular opinion but shifting the narrative to JOE ALWYN NEVER LOVED HER when they were two adults who obv loved each other a lot and chose TOGETHER to have a different kind of relationship does such a disservice to Taylor and her agency and her art
I just remembered that last night when Taylor started playing august, a girl walking past me to get back to her seat was like, “I hate this song,” and I said WHAT so emphatically that she apologized to me. AS SHE SHOULD TBH.
@HollyBiology
There was a point in my life when I was using my friend's ex-boyfriend's grandfather's Comcast log-in. One day it stopped working and I was too afraid to ask why.
The most unrealistic thing about Turning Red is not that a little girl turns into a panda but that her friends are able to buy tickets to the the biggest band in the world from the box office on the night of the show
If I see one more tweet talking about how 1989 has been rebranded from the city to the beach, I’m going to scream. There! Are! Beaches! In! New! York! City!
EVER HEARD OF CONEY ISLAND
Did…did it occur to any of you that that kid might have identities outside of “Selena Gomez’s sister” and that—bear with me here—one of them might be Taylor Swift fan??? So perhaps Taylor did give the hat to a fan after all??? And maybe it shouldn’t matter bc she’s NINE???
In five years, some swifties are going to be tweeting, “if you don’t know why ferndale, michigan is the 7th circle of hell, you don’t get tour tickets”
It’s wild how TWO DAYS AGO Taylor said that nothing makes her as happy as making music and some of y’all still looked at that tracklist and googled Clara Bow and your takeaway was “retirement album”
The infantilization of Olivia Rodrigo by a certain contingent of Gen-Z is really gross. It was fine for adults to listen to Taylor and Lorde and Billie when they were younger than Liv is now, but apparently only the kids can relate to Olivia. Make it make sense.
The fact that yesterday an account with almost 29k followers said gaylors should stan Chappell instead of Taylor bc she’s “one of their kind” with little to no backlash kinda proves everything that gaylors have been saying about the homophobia aimed at them in this fandom ngl
All of you out here like “it’s totally normal to get engaged after less than a year in your 30s; you’ll understand when you’re older” and tbh the further into my 30s I get, the longer it would take to convince me to let a man into my house full time, but okay
If you don’t see the problem with the most famous person in the world hanging out with Trump supporters/sexual abuse apologists in photos w/ that fuckass filter everyone knows means it came from her/her team four months before THIS election, I don’t know what to tell you
Y’all, I really need us to stop referring to secret sessions as SS? Just call them sessions if you don’t want to type the whole thing? Or we can create a portmanteau like secsess? I remember this conversation happening in 2019 but seems like people have forgotten or didn’t know.
@swiftisking
@snelmes18_n
If you don’t think Taylor is choosing and approving every detail of her career at this point, I don’t think you’ve been paying attention
PLEASE I CANNOT HAVE THE TAYLOR BEING NEURODIVERGENT DISCOURSE AGAIN. SAYING YOU THINK SOMEONE MIGHT BE AUTISTIC ISN’T AN INSULT, RUDE, OR UNKIND. BUT IT ALSO ISN’T OUR BUSINESS.
@gapsinsilence
That makes sense. When I hear puff pastry I think of how it looks when it’s cooked, all soft and flaky and stuff, so I was just not sure what the takeaway was 😂
Also, anyone who is pissy about this take can stay mad. 51% of journalists in the US are men, and 76% are white. There was a real opportunity to hire someone to provide a more diverse perspective from a deep pool of applicants here and they dropped the ball.
I know most of you eat this shit up but I miss the brief half-decade when people talked about Taylor’s accomplishments without a seemingly compulsive need to mention some guy
Hugh Grant praises Taylor Swift and ‘The Eras Tour’:
“You have an incredible show, an amazing and v hospitable team and excellent if gigantic boyfriend (
#tequilashots
.)”
LISTEN. I’m glad the football man is making Taylor happy but if ONE MORE OF YOU tries to convince me he’s hot when I could literally find ten of him at any Bass Pro Shop, I WILL scream
Listen, I don’t think OG swifties deserve special treatment, but explain to me why it’s always the swifties being like I AM JUST AS VALID EVEN THOUGH I AM NEW WE ARE ALL VALID who are also like IF YOU ARE OLDER THAN 25 YOU AREN’T ALLOWED TO LIKE THINGS ANYMORE??
Hi swifties, STOP presuming to know what a trans man may or may not have in his pants. It’s NOT OUR FUCKING BUSINESS. Can we just appreciate how hot Laith is and leave it at that??? This is embarrassing.
I’ve seen basically no acknowledgment of Juneteenth on Swiftie Twitter today and it’s bumming me out. Happy Juneteenth, everyone! Let’s work harder to educate ourselves, be actively anti-racist, and beat those racist fandom allegations.
I’m going to be honest, as a writer, I think we do Taylor a disservice as a storyteller when we try to assign a personal narrative to almost everything she’s ever written. She’s more than capable of writing about things outside her own experience.
I never gave much of a shit about Joe Alwyn, but honestly the way you people have turned on him and rewritten history for the sake of your easy immature narrative is threatening to turn me into a stan.
So, a) if Olivia talks about Taylor, she’s using her for clout, b) if she doesn’t talk about Taylor it’s bc they hate each other, and c) if she says she doesn’t have beef with anyone it’s proof that they have beef??? No wonder she stopped talking about her; y’all are hateful.
In case anyone was confused, you’re not a genocide apologist because you believe Taylor knew nothing about one twelve year old article buried under a decade of good press when she wrote Carolina. Delia Owens is trash and does not deserve our support, but ffs.
I’m actually embarrassed for our entire fandom that tn called this app something other than Twitter when we as a collective decided that just wasn’t going to happen
Relationships between grown-ups who loved each other end. That does not mean all of the good stuff was fake. Insisting otherwise is so unserious and childish
Hi everyone, I’m so sorry to say that my, our, dear friend & swiftie
@BurgerJordan
passed away yesterday after a long struggle with chronic illness. He was an incredible advocate, kind, generous, helpful, stalwart, & the ultimate 1989 fan. I am devastated & will miss him everyday
He was clearly not the man for her, and his introverted, private ways were not ultimately what she wanted, that doesn’t make him toxic or a bad person. They just weren’t compatible in the long run and in your life you will fall for many, many non-evil people like that
Wait, are some of y’all harassing people for tweeting about disappointment that Taylor used dynamic pricing? Seriously? For a few hours, MOST people thought that there had been dynamic pricing bc we didn’t know about the VIP toggling. Lots of us said we were upset about it.

An embryo becomes a fetus at 10 weeks, and remains in the fetal state until birth at which point it becomes a neonate (aka baby). I understand that facts and scientific language don’t align with your political ideology but hope this helps!
@Cleoyourlatina
@PopBase
Because he memoir comes out next week and she talked about it in her memoir bc it was an important event in her life? It’s not that hard to figure out.
@ivysaugust13
Right, like? “I know Barbie is blonde and tall and sk*nny with big boobs, and you don’t look like that, but that’s okay, okay?”
…I mean you are kind of making it sound like it’s okay but definitely not ideal!!
Hi everyone who is apparently new to my account, I read and write professionally and am aware she was making a point about the tour set, but it’s still a pretty weird thing to say and I enjoy shitposting
2 Truths & A Lie:
1) I cried so hard at rep tour that security asked it I was okay…two nights in a row
2) I accidentally called 911 when evermore wouldn’t DL at midnight
3) I responded to a spammer with Taylor lyrics until they threatened to send my number to the FBI
@gwenandellie
Honestly, Michael is a pretty bad dude tho? I feel like all the worst things about that storyline will be removed with this change. Like, now there can’t be any threats of “I’ll SA you until you’re pregnant and have to marry me”
@autistnic
@ftmensch
Yeah, I have an ED and have been in and out of treatment for years, so I get it. I didn’t want to be dismissive of what others got brought though.

my sister’s baby is overdue so they tried to induce her and the induction *failed* because that little Taurus said I DO WHAT I WANT DON’T RUSH ME I AM COMFORTABLE WHERE I AM
Tell me again how astrology isn’t real
The Joe Alwyn hate is so funny to me bc even if the theories are true and he’s a paid beard, are you telling me that you would not take money to hangout with Taylor and her cats and go to cool events and win a Grammy?? In this Taylor Swift economy??? Respect the hustle.
Y’all, I’ve been in treatment for almost six months this go round and I’m SO EXCITED to tell you that I’m going to be home with my Ivy in three weeks 😭😭😭
I’m never going to get a Taylor Nation notice or to meet Taylor bc my autistic ass just does not understand how to interact with them. Like, I love Taylor so much, but the whole TN thing just makes me so confused and stressed so I don’t even try 😞
Hi yes hello please don't tweet about how much weight you "need" to lose before tour. it's triggering af and we are all aware this community is riddled with eating disorders
This is obviously the least important part of how terrible Amy Schumer is, but imagine calling yourself “the most successful female comedian of all time” when you’re not even the most successful female comedian named Amy….
@darlingube
(This is genuine and not meant to be combative.) Do you really think ALL surrogacy needs to be abolished? My dear friend was a surrogate because she loved being pregnant but did not want more children.
Are there people going to tomorrow’s show who can offer a swiftie from tonight’s show a spot on the couch/floor of their hotel rooms?? This feels like a moment when we could pull together and find everyone places to stay!!
@ErasTourResell
, is this something you could help with??
I loved Fearless TV and RED TV but this is the first one where I’ve been like, oh, this is, like, WAY BETTER. (And I love original SN; no shade. This is just elevated to a degree I didn’t not expect.)
