I keep replaying the bit right at the end of 10x12 with Dean and the Taylor Swift song. It fills my whole heart with pink sparkles, and I think that’s probably exactly how Dean feels when he hears Taylor Swift. It’s a good feeling.
I was 18 when I wrote that,” she reminds me. “That’s the age you are when you think someone can actually take your boyfriend. Then you grow up and realise no one takes someone from you if they don’t want to leave. —
Taylor talking about Better Than Revenge (The Guardian, August 2014) (via forebidden)
IN WHICH TAYLOR SWIFT REALISED THAT SHE ONCE HAD PROBLEMATIC VIEWS AND DIDN’T GET DEFENSIVE BUT FULLY TOOK RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEM WHILST STATING THAT SHE KNOWS BETTER THAN THAT NOW.
hands-down one of my all time favorite taylor moments
What fucks me up about this is that he’s using a classic abusive behaviour on her.
He starts out by doing something that seems innocent but which is often a tactic used by abusive men to get past women’s defenses and justify their own behaviour. “I’m a nice guy. I’m not mean. I wouldn’t do anything bad.” And without being specific to this guy, TSwift calls him on it: she points out that there’s a very high correlation between self-labeling as a “nice guy” and not actually being very nice. It’s as polite as she can be without actually saying explicitly that this guy’s a jerk, but everyone listening knows that she’s basically just said, “Hey, you just did this thing that’s shitty.”
And his response is to try to gaslight her. Gaslighting is when you try to manipulate someone by making them doubt their perception of reality. It sounds like it would be impossible, but it’s actually incredibly common among abusive men, and often appears hand in hand with this creepy “I’m nice” crap. What he does is, rather than argue with her about whether most guys who self-label as nice are actually jerks, or move on to another topic, or shout her down—-what he does is DENY REALITY. Guys who self-label as nice aren’t nice? Cool—he’ll just assert that he never did that. Despite the fact that he JUST DID IT. ON CAMERA.
People who date men: if a man ever does this to you, run like hell. It’s the beginning of a very steep slope. Men who lie to you about behaviour you’ve observed—who lie to you about documented reality—in order to serve their own ends are not men you can trust. They are not good people. RUN THE FUCK AWAY.
Meanwhile, a million props to Taylor Swift for calling that shit out.
Taylor Swift and Fall Out Boy— My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark
holy fuck taylor
Imagine how fucking powerful those models must have felt. You have fall out boy and Taylor swift singing as you walk down then runway owning the stage and having tons of people applauding. I’m not usually for these kinds of things but all of those women, Taylor included, owned it.

SO MANY NOTES WHO REBLOGGED THIS WHAT DID I MISS I HAVE NEVER GOTTEN THIS MANY NOTES ON A POST IN MY LIFE
Im not sure what this is about. I see a bunch of sexually packaged women, all size Socially Acceptable.
It’s about Fall Out Boy and Taylor Swift, who are amazing, and who decided to colab at a Victoria Secret fashion show, which has models that are sexually appealing to some people, and the models chose to be part of it, and are comfortable and confident enough with their bodies to pose in merely underwear in front of thousands of people
Morning, his place Burn toast, Sunday You keep his shirt He keeps his word For once you let go Of your fears and your ghosts One step, not much But it said enough You kiss on sidewalks You fight and you talk One night he wakes Strange look on his face Pauses, then says You’re my best friend And you knew what it was He is in love
Cause you can hear in the silence You can feel it on the way home You can see it with the lights out You are in love, true love You’re in love
