1989: The Debrief
Taylor's new album came out on Monday (but really on Sunday). I was nervous/excited/fangirling up to the launch. I was getting retargeted with every possible ad on Youtube, on blog sites, on my phone(?!), EVERYTHING. That was ok though because I love her.
I saw on TSwift's twitter that the album is out NOW. My stupid iTunes isn't connected properly and am too tired/lazy to fix it tonight. In the meantime, text Dad (yes, he loves her too) and Anna that the album is out NOW.
8:00 AM Monday:
Wake up to text to see Dad has already pre-ordered the album like a true fan. I have an overwhelming sense of failure that I consider myself a huge fan but didn't pre-order. Stupid Dave Ramsey budgets...
8:30 AM:
I fixed my iTunes and downloaded the copy. I made my coffee, milk and brown sugar, and my bagel. I ran back to my computer and pushed play.
9:30 AM:
Album complete. I text Anna and my Dad to get their reactions. I don't know if I love it yet. I miss the Red Taylor, the State of Grace Taylor, the Last Time Taylor. The pop synth reminds me of Robyn, which I know will make Meg happy. However, it's Taylor so I won't give up.
10:30 AM:
Listened to it again. Of course, certain songs are growing on me. Style. However, since I am listening to Taylor, I obviously need to throw it back and listen to Red. In it's entirety. ..."I'm walking fast through traffic lights..."
3:00 PM:
I took a break, but found out Taylor is on Ellen. Flip on the TV. Gosh, she is so pretty! (This was my lunch break!!)
4:00 PM:
Watching her interview has reminded me why I love her - she is so timeless and elegant and I want to be her best friend. (I sound like a stalker, but let's be real, we all feel this way) As soon as it is over, Anna sends me her interview with Nick Lachey. (Yes, that is what his life is boiled down to) This leads me to read every interview I haven't read ever.
Did y'all know that Styles allegedly wrote "I Love You" (performed by Alex & Sierra <3) for Taylor?! This is swoon-worthy. Please get back together, please. It's adorable. I just can't.
5:28 PM:
M walks in from work. "Are you still listening to Taylor Swift? I thought you didn't like the album..." Me: "But it's Taylor. And don't worry, we are listening to it in the car so you can get your fair taste..."
..."Are we out of the woods yet?Are we out of the woods yet?Are we out of the woods yet?Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods..."
Just like every Taylor album does, it has made me fall in love with Taylor's whimsical world all over again. I absolutely cannot WAIT for her tour. Who wants to come to San An to see it with me?
