im sorry im still not over the fact that Taylor swift made an announcement for folklore and LESS THAN 24 HOURS LATER I was listening to it ? NO HINTS NO CLUES NO NTH osmfnasjkiewjkfsafknekjfs

she really posted a bunch of DAMN FRIGGIN trees and was like haha new album haha and just watched us all die

where were you when you found out about folklore?

I was,,, having a picnic with some of my closest friends,,, listening to 1989,,, and then I was screaming

if you wanna see any swiftie have a mental breakdown just ask them to choose between Cruel Summer and Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince

oh man throwback to when we thought that the album title had something to do with butterflies/kaleidoscopes and it was just “lover” skskskksksksks

wtf there is some weird screaming in the London Boy chorus right?? or am i going crazy HAHAHAHHAA

i feel like it’s taking me longer than usual to remember the lyrics of this album but i ain’t complaining it’s a lyrical masterpiece

I'M SORRY, I JUST NEED TO SAY THIS.

So first of all, I am a french swiftie (check my username) and we are very happy, grateful and excited to have a show in our country very soon : The City of Lover Concert.

But. It is a private concert, so tickets must be won. NRJ radio station is in charge of GIVING tickets to fans.

Here are the issues, from less important to the very problematic ones.

1. They told us weeks ago that they were going to make us win ticket for Taylor's exclusive show and that we just needed to listen the radio. So we did. And for WEEKS, they didn't say a damn thing about it (when they would tell us eveyday to listen their radio if we wanted to win tickets). And when they started to do so, they were like "we are giving you free tickets!" And we were like "how?? When?? Tells us!". But nothing. No informations. They just wanted to have people to listen their stupid radio.

2. People who know people who work at nrj have free tickets, without even being fans. They are just locals. For example, the day Taylor went to Paris at the nrj radio station, there was a random man that was invited just because he was also there the day before ! He wasn't even a fan of Taylor and barely knew her.

3. Also tonight, a swiftie won her tickets and she was crying because she was so happy and they were just laughing, didn't pay attention to what she had to say, they were just talking to each other like she wasn't there which is very rude.

4. So this week, they started giving tickets BUT in order to have a chance to win, they made you call a paid number, without even telling us that it is a paid number.

5. Just tonight, they had a young boy on the phone asking advices for his coming out in they just told him to not come out when he has already said that it was very important for him.

6. They also make jokes like "wanna see Taylor at her exclusive show? Have sex with me and I'll give you tickets! Hahahahaha".

So I know Taylor has good relationship with the team and especially with Cauet but they just don't treat everyone the same way they does with her.

I'm a huge Taylor's fan and it truly pains me to see this radio treating us like that. You can also see on twitter multiples fans complaning about it. We were so mad and sad when we learned that NRJ was in charge of giving tickets.

I just though @taylornation and @taylorswift should know. idk if they will ever see this or even care about it but at least some on you now know the situation.

the mood change from London Boy to Soon You’ll Get Better tho,,,

no context dbatc

can’t wait to listen to the karaoke version of lover and just admire the production of all the songs ugh

@taylorswift i love u but why do you hold pens/pencils like that HAHAHHAH

A Note on GMA, Entitlement and Privilege

Okay, the time has come for me to share the things I witnessed at the GMA concert last Thursday and how they illustrated the glaring problem we have in this fandom with people feeling entitled to Taylor’s attention or being catered to because they have the privilege to spend all of their parents’ money on Taylor events/merch and the extreme selfishness this constant need for Taylor’s attention breeds. 

(I first want to say that in spite of all the nonsense I’m about to expose, I had SUCH a good time and felt extremely fortunate for the chance to be there and so thankful to Cee for offering me a ticket and none of the following is about her, she’s a literal angel.)

I got to the line at about midnight, and finally headed home after the concert at 9am. In those 9 hours, almost all I heard from everyone around me was either complaining or comparing how far they had traveled/how much money they had spent/how many Taylor shows they have been to/how many times she’s Noticed them. Just constantly trying to prove they were a bigger fan than anyone else in line as if having more money to spend = loving her more. I’m not exaggerating when I say that every single person around me had a picture of them with Taylor as their phone background. 

And it was very clear that all of these people who dropped thousands of dollars to fly thousands of miles for this free, 30 minute set (???) very much felt like they were owed a tailored experience because of it. When they weren’t asserting their superiority as a fan, they were constantly complaining. About everything. The line was too long, they were too hot, GMA wasn’t providing water bottles (because not a single one of these people had the common sense to bring water with them for a 9-hour experience in the middle of summer?), it “wasn’t fair” that VIP pass holders got to go in first (although I’m sure they would have thought it was fair if they were VIP), there were several different line checkpoints for safety reasons and they didn’t like that at all, they didn’t like the warm up guy keeping us excited during commercial breaks, they felt “ripped off” that Taylor only sang three songs and that none of them were Lover. It was incessant, and I did not hear a single positive thing to counteract this complaining come out of any of their mouths all morning. Going to put some direct quotes under “read more” just so this doesn’t get too extremely long. 

The audience situation once we were in the actual venue was a stunning display of selfishness (not to mention how everyone left a literal garbage dump as soon as the line started moving). It was a standing room only situation, so of course it was going to be kind of hard to see if you weren’t up by the barricade (which was all VIP people). As a shorty, I had already figured this would be the case and figured I wouldn’t see much. But yeah everyone definitely thought that their ability to see everything all the time and to potentially be seen by Taylor was a higher priority than anyone else’s ability to see or physical safety. There was a LOT of pushing and shoving. And when Taylor was on stage, everyone’s phones went up (once again this was TELEVISED like do you need to record the whole thing on your phone?) and Taylor seeing their sign, or their hand, or their rep room picture with her was vastly more important to anyone there than the ability of anyone behind them to see a dang thing. 

Throughout the whole show, the only time the complaining stopped was when we were singing along to the music. I heard *several* people say, “I’m never doing this again, I feel so ripped off" as we were leaving a FREE Taylor Swift concert. That everyone knew in advance was only going to be 3 songs long. And all of those people are, in fact, “doing this again” today at the VMAs, and have posted (and self-reblogged a million times) how much they loved the GMA experience.

the worst part about scooter’s tweet calling lover “brilliant” is that if the rolls were reversed and taylor tweeted the exact same thing the headlines would be “taylor swift posts petty tweet about braun” or “taylor swift still cant get over what braun did: here’s proof.” which is literally what the man is about. a man can react, a woman can only overreact. 

hey you know what’s cool? respecting celebrities’ privacy and their right to a private life

I genuinely miss listening to Lover if I have to stop it, even if it’s just for a few minutes 😂 @taylorswift 💓
