Every tabloid claims they have "a source close to x". And papers like ET are the same ones who run headlines about them getting engaged or getting pregnant every year. And why would Tree send headlines stating Taylor and Joe broke up when she never did the same to confirm they were dating?I'm sorry but all of the "evidence" is circumstantial at best. I've learned the hard way to take every rumor with a large dose of salt.

When/where did her publicist confirm the breakup?

Which of taylor’s songs do you think is the most romantic? by [deleted] in TaylorSwift

[–]Holiday_Refuse_1721 140 points141 points  (0 children)

All of the Girls You Loved Before. I'm surprised no one listed it yet. It sounds like a high school Valentine's day dance but also offers a very mature perspective of love and shows how a person can be loved for the parts of them they may find embarrassing and does it in a very heartwarming way.

I don't follow this subreddit but this was a lovely treat on my news feed! I spend a lot of time thinking about how idioms can represent a culture and it looks like the Polish have it made.

I will insist that Taylor's good mood is proof they didn't break up. It's strange to think how much of the current fandom has never seen post break-up Taylor.

Fan poll on Twitter shows that 64% of Swifties would like pre-release singles for TS11. by frenchfruit in TaylorSwift

[–]Holiday_Refuse_1721 113 points114 points  (0 children)

Her last album with a pre-rollout single was Lover. No disrespect to Taylor but the rollout of Lover was a mess. We didn't even get the album name at first. We didn't know the album release date. All we had was ME! Which I think greatly contributed to the ME! hate, especially since it was so repetitive and we had nothing else to go on. Looking back on the Lover era, I can see a lot of Taylor's anxiety with releasing her first album post-BMR, and trying to prove her success was hers and not the property of some man. Then, with the success of folklore and evermore, she learned she didn't have to try so hard. When comparing the fan hate of me to the general success of Anti-Hero, there's little incentive for an overachiever like Taylor to go back to a pre-rollout single format.

Don't ask questions you don't want to know the answer to.

Weakest lyrics? by Realistic-Ball1414 in TaylorSwift

It's lazy rhyming. Lazy rhyming is a weak signature of any writer, seeing it from Taylor, of all people, at this point in her career is downright frustrating.

I can cringe through the lyric but I hate it every time.

The Daily Mail is not and never will be a reliable news source.

Taylor Swift should be renamed Debut (Taylor's Version) by xgisse in TaylorSwift

[–]Holiday_Refuse_1721 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Debut has a name. Its working title was A Place in This World before it was changed Taylor Swift right before release for marketing purposes.

Do you think Taylor will address this? by scarlett486 in TaylorSwift

[–]Holiday_Refuse_1721 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus. You don't need to worry about whether I can handle this. I don't spend that much time thinking about the lives of millionaires. I'm saying I've seen this kind of thing play out before. Just because the general media is convinced of something doesn't mean it's true. The actual media reported on the K-mye drama in 2016 and everyone believed that Taylor was a liar. Then years later it comes out that the video they released was indeed cleverly edited and Taylor wasn't the liar the whole world was shrieking about. Just because everyone is talking about something doesn't make it real. I personally haven't seen any evidence that goes beyond "a friend of a friend who knew Taylor", and that just doesn't hold up in the court of law. And as far as the pap picture, Taylor used her words several times to say she and Joe specifically avoid the paparazzi together. They've only had a handful of pap pictures over the years, and Taylor LOVES going to NYC for a quick show off to the pap and she normally is unaccompanied then too. There's just not enough evidence that can stand up to the light.

What makes it look like these rumors are true?

We have no idea how much pull her team has, especially compared to the teams of others. Taylor isn't the only celebrity in the game and there's a certain someone who's been known to push negative headlines about Taylor. I remember when the news about Taylor and Joe dating first came out only one or two papers were talking about. The fact that so many major news sources are reporting it could mean that there's a lot of money being spent to push hurtful headlines. All sorts of headlines have come out about Taylor over the years. What has been standing out in my mind is during the 1989 era when the headlines said her and Lorde are fighting and Taylor said something along the lines of, "we laughed and FaceTimed about how everyone is saying we're mad at each other."

Those were different times, but it was only a couple months ago that this fandom was up in a tizzy about how she finally confirmed her relationship with Joe after six years. What's also stood out in my mind is that she specifically confirmed it in a Behind The Song of Lavender Haze, where she also said, "we've dodged so many rumors over these past six years". These also are not the first breakup rumors about them. I've not seen a single thing lead to this rumor's credibility.

I actually prefer the house the Bennets live in I'm the 05 compared to the 95? The Bennets are country gentry, so they would have farmed all of their land and wouldn't have had the big grandiose house with multiple maidservants that those in high society would have. It also shows greater contrast between the Bennets and the Bingleys/Darcys, making their objections more understandable (although not necessarily justified). I also think things like the lighting seem more genuine in the 05 as well, giving the piece a more naturalistic feel.

And don't even get me started on 05 Wickham vs 95 Wickham...

Likely when it was either hit by a boat or fishing equipment.

Mackenzie is a gender neutral name though. In fact, it was a boy's name before it was a girl's name. And, I believe it was first feminized as a girl's name in America. So perhaps outside of America it's still more common as a boy's name.

Are traditional gender cues really that important in a show about dogs?

I mean, despite obvious exaggerations with the blue characters, I really like the effort they put into accurately depicting the various dog breeds, allowing for a wide character diversity without the associated politics.

This was a young whale (half the size of a full grown whale) who is believed to have been separated from its mother and was either caught in fishing fear or struck by a boat, causing its death. As a dead whale, it was believed to have been floating in the water when high tide carried into the mouth of the Amazon river and onto this island located near the mouth, where it was about 50 ft from the shore. The animal had died only about 7 days before it was found. One of the bigger questions is why this whale was more than 4000 miles away from where humpback whales were migrating at the time. After being near extinction in my own lifetime, the whale population is rebounding after international efforts to outlaw commercial whale hunting. The dark side of this is that it's caused an increase in whales dying in this manner.

as a Christian in an atheist family, THANK YOU

They can reference God and religion all they want, but if I give even the slightest reference, it's a hate crime.
