I’m going to the Taylor swift show Saturday at Gillette. My wife and her co teacher wanted to go. I’d told them I’d go. Not a big Swifty but would definitely check out the show. Her co teachers husband is going as well. The girls made us shirts that say

It’s me. I’m the husband it’s me.

I think she is not good but the teens of today seem to like her form of pop music.

Her earlier works aren't my favorite, but her later works like albums such as Evermore are my my style. Melancholy. I'm 33 so I'm grown up with her. There's a song she wrote about her late Grandmother called Marjorie that is absolutely beautiful, but heartbreaking. It reminds me of my late grandmother. I am not prepared for when she sings that. My sister said she's prepared to go get a drink during that time. I said don't you dare! It's an extremely emotional song. Since the Evermore album was written during quarantine, I relate to that feeling.

Another song on there is called "This is me trying" and as someone who is constantly trying in life, for her parents, friends, etc to feel worthy, I related to it like a bunch of bricks. I love all kinds of music. I'm just happy that I'm getting a chance to...be happy after 3 years of complete sadness and lots of mental stuff. Hopefully it goes well.

Some of you will be disappointed to hear this, but I am the biggest Taylor Swift fan on the planet. Been to a ton of her shows. Have her face tattooed on my back shoulder. haha

Daniel, if you want to get married just say so lmao 🤣
Good call, @Mione134 !

I do think Taylor Swift IS available and loves dogs too! But does she love Bruins hockey…?

I struggle with which album I like more, Folklore or Evermore, but I think Evermore slightly edges out the win. It's a more consistent feel end to end for me, whereas Folklore sorta drops off a bit in the back half of the album. That said - the love triangle perspectives of Cardigan, Betty and August on Folklore are pretty freaking amazing.

Tis the Damn Season or Happiness may be my faves from Evermore. Tolerate It is a pretty amazing commentary on way too many romantic relationships. Dorothea is super uplifting.

The Grammy performance of All Too Well shreds my soul every time.

Last Kiss is another amazing live performance from the Speak Now era.

I'm not overly jazzed by Midnights, but there's a couple in there I dig. Anti-Hero, Bejeweled and Question....? probably my favourites.

I've been to the 1989 tour and the Reputation tour - Reputation I paid 3k for two tickets and stood front row, where Taylor and I locked eyes for a pretty intense moment (for her, I was like meh).

So yeah, now that she's single again, prob my pension goes to her in our eventual divorce as I realize @Mione134 was always The 1

It is a gorgeous day out in MA. Hope people are outside and enjoying it.

Was out earlier and it may say 77 but it is definitely warmer in the sun

Rewatched the Coronation last night without any nap breaks....really paid attention to the pagentry and the process....very moving. The BBC did a brilliant presentation of the event....

....and Princess Anne ROCKS!!!! Loved her comment about wearing her naval uniform "Well, it took care of my dress problem"...

Love her....

Taking a break from cutting the grass. Beautiful day, but very happy I decided to wear a hat. I don’t give a shit if I look like Bill Murray in Caddyshack. Boonie hats are wonderful in the sunshine. :cool:

They will save you from a sunburn for sure.

That is why I am waiting to go for a walk. There is limited shade where I walk and I just don't have a tolerance for the warmth yet lol

I know very little about her, but she looks like a sailor (was in the Royal Navy, right?) that would absolutely kill an enemy without hesitation and without remorse.

Badass.

I am genuinely shocked, surprised, and excited about your knowledge of Taylor Swift. It's extremely impressive.


I look forward to you professing your love to me under my window with a boom box after your divorce. Taylor will never love Chibby like I do!

If it’s okay with you the boom box will just be the detechable Bluetooth in the jeep - less boom boxish but the upside is afterwards you get to drive around no doors no top (on the vehicle) and make your friends jelly while we blast paper rings from the Lover album
