the pfp being is just too much

Swifities did Jan 6th after they put the clues together and realized what was coming

I don't know if asking for likes is against hexbear rules but it would be so freaking funny if the IDF refusing Swiftie post ratio'd the country of Israel itself, the reply is only 600 likes off.

Rare stan twitter W, also you can tell the real Swifties by them @'ing Tree Paine, Taylor's head of PR iirc

True fans know she has a lot of anti-zionist bangers!

NEW YORK CITY — A photograph taken by tabloid outlet TMZ which features Taylor Swift playing a Sega Game Gear, a portable gaming console from the 1990s, has caused major disruptions in the preowned gaming industry, sources have confirmed.

“Busiest week of my life,” said Bert Grantham, owner of Bert’s Bits, a used gaming store in Brooklyn. “Lately, I’ve been struggling just to pay my bills, but Monday I come and open up, and all these girls in Taylor Swift shirts say they need Sega Game Gears, and they need them now. I sold out of games, accessories, damn near everything. These girls were so curious about video games all of the sudden, they were buying strategy guides to stuff they didn’t even have. Then all the ones who arrived after I sold out of Game Gears threatened to put me out of business.”

The surge of new customers proved curious to established patrons of Bert’s Bits.

“Doesn’t really make sense to me,” said Troy Agnew, a regular customer. “She’s on a tour bus all the time, plus now she has time to kill at her boyfriend’s football games. Every reason in the world to own a handheld console. Also, please remember that Taylor Swift can afford to get into whatever hobby she wants, even collecting retro video games. I think it’s cool if a bunch of Swifties get into gaming, but they’re just not able to have the same experience she is. Maybe at least download some emulators and see if you like it before you make it your whole thing, you know?”

As of press time, Swift had announced her next stadium tour would be composed of “probably about half Sonic covers.”

lol. because of this damn comm I've been letting Swift youtube autoplay in the background.

the so called "Best Friends" explicitly described their marketplace venture as a "zaibatsu", which is like the Japanese word for "corporation". Very curious to be so honest about their neoliberal subjectivity!

the "Game Grumps" are not actually grumpy, Vinesauce actually hates Deleuzean rhizomes. I could go on

I think this one's pretty cute.

Posting this partly because it's classic lore and partly because I was an actual stan twitter Swiftie at the time and not only that, I was friends with this girl and had met her irl when she went to prison.

She was an Israeli communist and while she was in prison, she'd write notes that her friend would post to twitter. I don't remember much of what she said about her time in prison but I do remember that she apparently got laid a lot while in there, so good for her.

Our friend group drifted apart over the years and I'm not in contact with her anymore. The story has gone viral a few times since then and I've seen a lot of upvoted comments say that it's fake and the girl was actually from Michigan or some shit?

I'm here to tell you that no, this girl was real, she was from Israel (I distinctly remember her having to quit a skype call because of a bomb alarm) and she really did go to prison for refusing to join the IDF. I remember her tweeting in hebrew on her main account and repeatedly posting pro-Palestine stuff. This story is 100% real and I can confirm it to you first-hand.

Also fun fact: "LegitTayUpdates" was a bit account. It was not a "real" update account that would post paparazzi shots with real things Taylor did today, it was mainly Swiftie shitposting. The content was not too dissimilar of c/taylorswift, honestly. Maybe that's why people thought the prison thing was fake? But no, that really did happen, she texted us about it ahead of time as well.

'liberal' Taylor Swift will perform at an event linked to the Chinese govt. (the ones with the money)

Title: "Red October Skies"

[Soft Piano Intro]

[Verse 1]

Late nights, Petrograd, whispers in the cold Soldiers walking by, carrying tales untold You were a young dreamer, I was a rebel's girl Two hearts on the edge of changing the world

[Violins join in, building tension]

[Pre-Chorus]

Red banners, like the lipstick I wear Caught in a moment, in the October air Promise of a new dawn, in your eyes Two hearts united under the red October skies

[Chorus, electric guitar and drums kick in]

Revolution, what a sweet confession Our love, a subplot in a history lesson Oh, October, you changed everything From autumns of sorrow, to the springs that you bring

[Second Verse, guitar slows down, more subdued]

Smell of gunpowder, but your love is fresh Rumors of a coup, as our hearts mesh Lenin and Kerensky, headlines of the day But we're the secret history, they won't narrate

[Violins swell, bringing emotion to the forefront]

[Pre-Chorus]

Red banners, like the lipstick I wear Caught in a moment, in the October air Promise of a new dawn, in your eyes Two hearts united under the red October skies

[Chorus, electric guitar and drums amplify]

Revolution, what a sweet confession Our love, a subplot in a history lesson Oh, October, you changed everything From autumns of sorrow, to the springs that you bring

[Bridge, music quiets down, softly spoken]

We were naive, perhaps we were young Two lovers entwined in a world undone As the Winter Palace fell, so did the rain In that revolution, we found love's domain

[Build-up to final chorus, every instrument at full force]

[Pre-Chorus]

Red banners, like the lipstick I wear Caught in a moment, in the October air Promise of a new dawn, in your eyes Two hearts united under the red October skies

[Final Chorus, with backing vocals]

Revolution, what a sweet confession Our love, a subplot in a history lesson Oh, October, you changed everything From autumns of sorrow, to the springs that you bring

[Outro, music fades away leaving only the soft piano]

Red October skies, a love undefined Two hearts in a chapter that history couldn't bind Oh, we are the lost verse, in the tale of that year But in my heart, October, you're forever near

[End, final piano note echoing into silence]

We can do it!

Low energy. SAD!

… Swift’s team worked around the major studios—represented by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, or AMPTP, in the ongoing labor negotiations—altogether when it came to producing and releasing Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour. The film was self-funded, with Swift reportedly spending $10 to $20 million to produce it and her parents working directly with AMC Theaters on distribution. … Though Swift’s film may not do Barbie numbers, she is set to break even more records when it opens next month. Already, it’s on track to make up to $100 million in its first weekend—and could open as high as $145 million, according to BoxOffice.com. That’s unprecedented for a concert film, and would put it in the top five theatrical openings this year.
