It's like I just work up. I was always like, there's Taylor- she famous and everyone loves her. I was once not on her team. I was a Taylor-Hater. Slowly, I was caught up singing along. I would shake it off with the best of them, I knew that she knew you were trouble, that there was a blank space (in my heart with passion for her). AND THEN, she told me to calm down, and I did as she asked. I don't know if it was the video or the meaning of the song but I was the opposite of calm. I was excited for her LOVER album like I was in high school excited about the new Destiny's Child album! Say my name! Say my name!! I feel bad, and I am almost a little embarrassed to just know exclaim my love and admiration for this wonderful person and incredible artist. My husband and I watched SNL as we do almost every Saturday last night. I made sure he sat still as she performed Lover. For some reason this song hits home for me. A little tear formed in my eye as she sung the words....
We could leave the Christmas lights up 'til January, This is our place, we make the rules, And there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you, dear, Have I known you twenty seconds or twenty years?
My husband and I recently bought a house and celebrated 21 years of love. Damn it, we make the rules. I will paint what I want and put political signs in my yard, plastic flamingos cheesy as they are, the neighbors can SHAKE IT OFF. There is just something powerful about how eloquent she sings the words Lover... <3 #allthefeels
