Movies that feels like Taylor Swift Album: 1989

1989 has the vibes of being an adult living in a big city with a huge friend group of girls while being in an on again and off again relationship with a guy. It also gives me summer vibes.

Obviously a lot of 80s movies could feel like 1989 but I feel like some later movies could also be recommended.

For the images I tried to incorporate the summery New York City vibes from the OG and the beachy vibes from the TV for these images

(Warning this is gonna be more ranty than my usual post. Also it might be a bit choppy cause I cut some stuff off)

As a mod of this sub I notice a lot of snarkers do not read the rules of this sub and immediately, and instead of contributing meaningful discussion they just automatically start posting negative comments without any nuance. SOMETIMES this is done for trolling but other times snarkers are generally confused and start complaining about being downvoted or having people disagree with them.

I also notice that snarkers who invade Swiftie positive or even neutral spaces are so much more rude than Swifties. Obviously there is a lot of Swifties that are rude and don’t accept any criticism but 9/10 when I remove someone for being rude it’s cause they are a snarker. They also often derail the conversation and don’t stay on topic just to start fight with subreddit members.

I just have to wonder why do snarkers invade Swiftie positive when there are several snark subreddit about Taylor and many popculture subreddit that negatively talks about Taylor.

Often times snarkers complain if they get banned for snarking meanwhile their subreddits do not allow people who participate in Taylor positive subs… why can’t snarkers understand that if their subreddits do not allow Swifties to post that we will be generally harsher to people who post on subreddits that have a lot of negative comments about Taylor?

I think a lot of snarkers do have a weird savior complex and they often call Swiftie spaces a cult and say shit like “you have been brainwashed” or whatever. That could be one reason why snarker are, at least somewhat, are generally interested in talking to Swifties instead of just trolling them snark on Taylor positive spaces. They believe them snarking will show people the truth somehow..

Another reason is that I think Snarkers would mistake a subreddit title “nuancingTaylorSwift” as a subreddit where people can comment whatever they want without any consequences… this is why we have a lot of Snarkers body shame her even though body shaming ANYONE is against the rules.

I just find it fascinating to not only spend time constantly hating someone on a subreddit about hating them and then go to a fan subreddit and also start hating the person to the point you start harassing their fans for just disagreeing with you. Sometimes it’s not even disagreeing.

I really wish that snarkers in general would just like… support other artist especially lesser known artist instead of complaining about Taylor (btw I kinda do want to make a post giving recs about lesser known songs based off your favorite Taylor songs. Partly cause a lot of Taylor haters were former fans but more so for current fans who want to take a break from her music or want to expand their music taste)

I also think this happens to Taylor a lot more than other celebs who have both a snark and fan subreddit. I don’t see much snarkers of other popstar invade Ariana, Sabrina and Olivia fan reddit (which btw will be harsher to you if you do participate in those subreddits even if you are positive about Taylor)

I know I’m gonna get a lot of snarkers attention here but hopefully this comment section won’t be too crazy. I’m actually kinda scared to post this post but I thought it would be an interesting discussion.

I made two version of the first one since I did not know if I liked it better with or without the filter.

Hope you enjoy!

In 2009 Taylor Swift did a photoshoot for T Magazine called “Little Miss Sunshine” which turned out to be one of her most iconic and unique photoshoot.

This is such an interesting photoshoot for Taylor and I don’t think she did anything like this before and even since. It honestly feels like something Kerli, Britney Spears or Lady Gaga would do. She is wearing pieces from Rick Owens (who she was apparently a big fan of). The photoshoot feels avant grade using a unique color palette of green, teals, sliver and yellow. The photoshoot is supposed to portray the concept of a luxury doll house and I think it does a great job of that! Taylor’s innocent face mix with the bright make up really works for this style.

Speaking about make up I always find it strange how this look is thrown into the “slavic doll” (ughh hate that name) Taylor era by her haters since a lot of haters dislike how Taylor (supposedly) only wears red lipstick now… however most of the pictures of this shoot has red lips. She started wearing Red lipstick for Allure in 2009 so this bold make up style would definitely be new for her and I honestly would love for modern day Taylor to wear bold make up like this.

Honestly I would love Taylor to do another photoshoot like this in general but unfortunately Taylor doesn’t do much photoshoot for magazines anymore :(

But with that said what do you guys think about this shoot? Do you want Taylor to do more photoshoot like this? And what songs do you think fit this shoot?

I personally think Dancing With Our Hands Tied, Haunted, Wonderland, Ready For It and weirdly enough How You Get The Girl and All You Had To Do Was Stay fits this shoot. Though I feel like Taylor hasn’t made much music that fits this aesthetic.

(PS… I’m planning to make another “Discussing Taylor’s Photoshoot” post around the first week of September… feel free to guess which one it is ;])

Hey everyone it’s been a while since I did one of these! I was listening to I Almost Do and remembered that I should probably continue my movie series by making a post on Red.

What movies reminds you of Red? To me Red feels like an album where you are coming into adulthood and you are in your first serious relationship but you still feel so young. Red is obviously an album about heartbreak but there are songs like 22 and Starlight that focus on the positive parts of a relationship.

I feel like, at least with the TV and All Too Well, Taylor was going for a fall aesthetic but some of the song fits spring in a weird way. I also think the album feels like a small town girl living on her own in the big city for the first time.

Tell me what movies captures these feelings that the ruthless game of young love and heartbreak like Red?

3 years ago today Taylor Swift announced 1989 TV in the eras tour.

Were you excited for the TV? What did you think of the rollout and photoshoot? Feel free to discuss in the comments below

Edit: because I have to clarify this tier list is my own opinion. Also please read the description before you comment

Hey everyone! There’s barely any Tier List Tuesday post so let’s change that.

I wanted to rank all of Taylor’s album from best to worst in my opinion. I didn’t want to include bonus tracks and TV since they kinda complicate things.

(If I include The Anthology then The Anthology is would be A tier while the main TTPD album would still be in B tier. Also if I included the TV Fearless TV would probably be higher than Lover and the standard version of Midnights. Tho I think the three am version of Midnights would be higher then Fearless TV cause Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve and Dear Reader alone are some of my favorite Taylor songs)

I think Evermore, Red and Folklore are all top tier Taylor albums tho I put Evermore over Red and Folklore cause I’m not the biggest fan of Hoax and I really don’t like Stay Stay Stay. I do think 22 and IKYWT are not the best Taylor songs but I have a lot of nostalgia surrounding them. Basically any other songs from these albums are some of my all time favorites Taylor songs tho.

1989 and Speak Now are basically tied for fourth place. I’m not the biggest fan of Bad Blood and Shake It Off but I put 1989 over Speak Now cause I feel like the production of the good 1989 songs are more timeless. However yesterday I did listen to Speak Now and basically all the songs hit. There’s not a single bad song from the standard Speak Now

TTPD is an album that grew on me and I appreciate the messiness but I do think the production is still kinda lacking. Some of the songs sound very samey and other than some exceptions most of them feel like a first draft production wise.

Midnights is an odd album cause there’s some really great songs but other than Sweet Nothing and maybe Labyrinth, most of the songs aren’t my all time favorites. (If we include the bonus tracks then that’s a different story) Meanwhile Vigilante Shit is my least favorite Taylor song. Why was she trying to make a Billie Eilish song…? (and if she were to copy a Billie Eilish song why not Happier Than Ever and Your Power instead of Therefore I Am and Bad Guy?)

Lover is the album that made me a Swiftie and it has some highs (Cruel Summer, Cornelia Street) and some lows (ME!, I Forgot That You Existed, YNTCD). It also has some unique sounds for Taylor (the dream pop sound of The Archer and jazzy sound of False God) and some overhated songs (It’s Nice To Have A Friend, Paper Rings)

I have nothing to add to Fearless other than I vastly prefer the TV (which is a rarity for me) and the songs that are my favorite from the TV such as Tell Me Why and Hey Stephen are not as great here.

The Life Of A Showgirl has some cute songs like Honey and Opalite as well as some jams like Ophelia and Father Figure but none of them expect for Ruin The Friendship are what i consider her best. Plus I think songs like Honey, Cancelled, and Wish List have lyrics that kinda make me side eye (even if they aren’t as bad as the backlash made them out to be holy shit) and Eldest Daughter is one of my least favorite songs only being save by the bridge and half of the second verse.

Yes Rep is my second least favorite album…. Sorry I just can’t take any of the three revenge song seriously and I think some of the production choices are dated even for the time (especially if you compare the album to albums like DAMN, Melodrama, Strangers In The Alps, After Laughter, Flower Boy or even Lust For Life). However I do think Getaway Car and New Year’s Day is top tier and DWOHT is 2010s pop perfection.

Debut is the album that I least return to and other then Tim McGraw and Our Song I feel like most of the songs have something that detracts from it including songs I like such as Teardrops On My Guitar and Mary Song.

Feel free to post your own tier list :) remember to respect people’s opinions.

Since we are all clowning for Debut TV I thought it would be cool to make a 2000s frutiger metro inspired banner (and even if we do not get a Debut TV would be cool to do a nostalgic theme for self title’s 20th anniversary)

Hope you guys enjoy the new banner and icon! And after we are done using this we might have a banner contest so stay tuned ;)
