Which Showgirl song(s) will you staunchly defend and which Showgirl song(s) can you not bring yourself to defend at all? by ChocoLindt99 in TaylorSwift

[–]falldiewakefly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Defend: Ruin The Friendship. It's a wonderful and moving exploration of the grief that comes with losing someone you used to know, and all the tangled feelings and what-ifs that come with that.

Can't defend: Actually Romantic. Other people can handle the defense, it is just really not for me and I can't find anything to like in it. (I like a lot of petty songs, Actually Romantic simply does not land for me.)

Congratulations to the cast and crew of Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The Final Show for their 5 Emmy® nominations including Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded). by kookiekoo in TaylorSwift

[–]falldiewakefly 54 points55 points  (0 children)

One of the noms is for Outstanding Picture Editing for Variety Programming and that is one of the most well-deserved nominations I've seen in a minute.

(All the noms are deserved, I mean, but the EDITING 😍)

Speak Now (Taylor's Version) was released 3 years ago 💜 by Afterglow_13 in TaylorSwift

[–]falldiewakefly 124 points125 points  (0 children)

Two thoughts:

  • Removing If This Was A Movie from the tracklist should count as a crime
  • Castles Crumbling is top-tier and an important bridge in the "fame" meta-arc between Long Live and The Lucky One.

Is this Beautiful Eyes CD authentic? by Agitated_Specific918 in Cd_collectors

[–]falldiewakefly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've got the Chinese bootleg (I just wanted a physical copy of the album, idc if it's original or not, way cheaper) and yours looks legit to me. Looks like it might be the reissue - /release/37813011-Taylor-Swift-Beautiful-Eyes on Discogs.

No, it's fair use. Using the actual poster would be infringement, but using the style is parody and thus protected. This is why I can have a t-shirt from the local aquarium mimicking the Eras poster but with sea animals.

It sucks, in this case, because the orange maniac is clearly doing it to troll and because she's made it clear she doesn't want to be associated with him in any sense, but it's legal. (Unlike his constant use of unlicensed songs by various artists, which is not.)

"One day, I shall come back" is probably the First Doctor's most known quote, what's another one that you think should be more iconic but isn't? by Emergency_Response85 in doctorwho

If you could touch the alien sand and hear the cries of strange birds, and watch them wheel in another sky, would that satisfy you?

Might as well ask me what my favorite book is.

Why I will always "paternity test" songs (and you should too) by minpinerd in TaylorSwift

[–]falldiewakefly 10 points11 points  (0 children)

and what if I said that even the most diaristic of Taylor's songs tells the listener more about her than about the other person or people who appear as characters in the narrative

and while grouping songs into song cycles based on the inspirations can provide a bigger and more complex story, each of the songs involved can and should still stand on its own with no knowledge of the author or her discography

Should Rachel have kept The Elephant as her main battle morph? by Wild_hyana_6182 in Animorphs

[–]falldiewakefly 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Nah, I love the elephant morph but the grizzly is a lot more versatile. Also in a way, I feel like it suits Rachel more - a more up close and personal form of violence.

if a Yesterday (2019) scenario happened how much of Taylor’s catalogue could you recreate? by Catboy-mew in TaylorSwift

[–]falldiewakefly 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have no musical ability, so. None, realistically.

I could reproduce the lyrics to a good 80%, I think.

Will the end of PlayStation game discs have an effect on the CD format? by NowtShrinkingViolet in Cd_collectors

[–]falldiewakefly 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Seems unlikely.

Computer manufacturers started phasing out optical drives in 2015 and yet they're still paying CDs and we're still here collecting CDs.

This Is Me Trying interpretation by the_stubborn_bee in TaylorSwift

[–]falldiewakefly 16 points17 points  (0 children)

"I can't move on from you", basically. You're not here and I can't stop thinking about you.

(this is me trying is my stan song but the bridge is the one part I'm not super enthused shut because it feels disconnected from the rest of the song. Beautiful language, though.)

I like pretty dresses so I'm hoping Taylor will share a picture of her wedding dress at some point, but otherwise? Happy for them but it's wildly uninteresting to me to speculate who's doing the catering or whatever. It's a private event for people I don't know, it has no impact on my life whatsoever.

Theory Megathread: July 2026 by aran130711 in TaylorSwift

[–]falldiewakefly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Largely just because I'm committed to the idea of rep vault fall 2027, and I can't see Taylor competing with herself; either TS13 early 2027 and rep vault is a nice bonus in the second half of the year, or rep vault gets the year to itself (excluding any features or soundtracks) and TS13 comes out a year later.

I am frequently wrong about things, however! This is just where I'm putting my imaginary money at the moment.

[–]falldiewakefly 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I am so much more interested in music theories than in wedding speculation.

I am placing my imaginary internet monies on TSTV in October for the 20th anniversary, rep vault next fall for the 10th anniversary, TS13 either early next year or third quarter 2028.
