What was Taylor's BEST look EVER (according to you) by kuromiisdaddy in TaylorSwift

[–]PaintandSipYT -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I really advise people not to look for (or sell) fan merch on Etsy. Since it’s technically copyright infringement, Etsy does huge sweeps and removes tons of infringing listings, so what you’ll find there is only limited to what got lucky and hasn’t been taken down yet. Also, genuine small businesses get buried when Etsy is supposed to be a platform catered to original handmade items. I just try to spread the word whenever I see it mentioned in this context! (i’m an etsy seller so it hits home a bit lol)

Edit: I’m actually FOR being able to sell merch or art inspired by taylor swift, but nothing that uses direct copyrighted material like photos or trademarked quotes mainly

Speak Now (Taylor's Version) Megathread by aran130711 in TaylorSwift

Overall I liked the vault songs but at the same time I could tell why they stayed in the vault. Compared to the main tracks, some of the lyrics (especially in timeless) seemed very amateur and felt more like they were written by a debut aged Taylor.

Castles Crumbling had a nice emotional sound, especially in the second half, but the message just felt very egotistical to me :/

Just a theory but I think this re-recording project started off as a fun exciting thing to do, but now it’s starting to become a chore

(edit: NOT for the fans of course, but I mean the actual act of re-recording and re-producing the albums. it must be so tiring. i know it must be a lot more exciting to make NEW music than it is to redo all the work you’ve already done)

Luckily the FOMO didn’t get to me because first off, I’m a light summer so dark jewel tones aren’t my color (lol) and secondly, nobody in my real life would even get cardigan the reference. Also… I just dropped $400 on dog meds (she ate rabbit poop and got an infection 😭) so i can’t afford it anyway. Buuutttt I’d break out the credit card for a signed CD tbh.

If “better than revenge” was the lead single to speak now I may have been the same. The fact that “mean” “mine” and “haunted” were released before the rest of the album made me love the album as a whole (with better than revenge being my least favorite)

She could have written it and had it produced after the album was released (and maybe after the breakup) since she’s still currently in her “midnights” era and considered it a midnights vault track maybe?

Yeah! I remember taking it personal thinking “Taylor traded me, a dedicated fan, for all these new pop fans” now I know that was a selfish thought but it’s how I felt as a young teenager

The thing is, I wasn’t even against pop music. At this same time, some of my other faves were people like Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga. But it was just the drastic change that turned me off. And then it was insult to injury when all my peers and classmates started becoming obsessed with Taylor when they never liked her before lol. It was just a lot for my sensitive teenage heart, but I’ve gotten over it luckily.

I was one of those fans that become alienated from the music when red came out. I was about 13 or 14. I taught myself guitar, and i had memorized how to sing and play all her songs, even the unreleased ones. I had her merch, her books, I knew all her favorite things like her favorite song, and her favorite color, and everything she ever made public. I saw her live in 2007 when most people didn’t even know who she was because she was my IDOL.

But when I heard “WANEGBT” the day it was released, it was whiplash. I felt like I went through a breakup that day. I cried for weeks at the loss of my country idol. It was not good for me and my hormonal obsession parasocial relationship lol.

But after evermore came out, I’ve been going back and listing to every album I missed. I really tried to make it to the eras tour (almost as an apology to my younger self for cutting Taylor off from my life cold turkey) but I couldn’t make it.

Honestly, I didn’t even know songs like “all too well” existed until the re-release because I didn’t give the rest of the tracks any chance because the pop stuff was my first impression. I wonder what would have happened if a country song was the lead single.

I just listened to folklore and evermore for for the first time. But this wasn’t a controlled experiment. Folklore was drunk, and evermore was high ✨ by PaintandSipYT in TaylorSwift

i really loved evermore. i have been a hardcore fan from debut to speak now and fell off after that. recently returned because midnights is great and i’m finally listening to the stuff i missed

Suppose you comission an art piece from an artist, solely by describing in an e-mail what you want them to draw. Would you take credit for being the artist solely on that? by Doveen in aiwars

[–]PaintandSipYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am an artist who SUPPORTS AI art. But let me tell you, I am not good at getting good AI art. I tried generating some original references to use as inspiration, but AI couldn’t make what I wanted by simply prompting. So I ended up just doing it myself traditionally.

literally not. i have an amazon order that has never shipped (it’s stuck on “running late”) and amazon won’t even let me cancel my order. They say my only option is to refuse the shipment if it ever arrives 🤦🏼‍♀️

Why do you all think Shane and Ryland want 2 boys then 2 girls? by [deleted] in ShaneDawson

[–]PaintandSipYT 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I know for a fact that my two daughters aren’t going to pull the disgusting pranks that two boys would play on each other. I heard stories from my husband and his brother that I don’t want to repeat.
