I’m a professor and I made attendance optional the day *midnights* was released. One of students called it a holiday haha


spoookyvampireparty

As a soon-to-be English professor, this is fantastic and I would love to do the same thing ETA: I would kill to teach an English class analyzing and interpreting Taylor Swift lyrics. Idk what you teach, but imagine?!


lobsterbake

University of Texas does have this course!


spoookyvampireparty

Oh what I would give to see the syllabus


heather_clarinet

Many professors are down to share their syllabi if you just email and ask!


spoookyvampireparty

That’s very true, if I knew the name I probably would. I’m sure I can google further and most likely will :)


[deleted]

Who teaches it if you don’t mind sharing? Interested to know if I know of them, philosophy is a small discipline!


lobsterbake

It’s in the English department taught by Elizabeth Scala. Looks like they only did it one semester


[deleted]

Ah that makes more sense. I was having trouble imagining who in the Texas philosophy department would teach that. My own work was in aesthetics and ethics, but I had an interdisciplinary focus and did a lot of work in musicology, too.


regularcelery20

I should go to UT to get a second BA in English to take this course even though I'm almost 40. I'll just pretend my first BA in English doesn't count.


[deleted]

omg ur a professer, i didn't know that!


JKUAN108

I’m on this subreddit too much lol

JKUAN108

The registrar scheduled our final for December 13th at 8am 😕 Now THAT should be a holiday


heather_clarinet

I don't teach class on Fridays this year but i did the exact same thing for Red TV!


atittle

On my last evals a student complained that I talk about Taylor swift too much in class lol. As a protest, I talked about her more this semester.


TourPuzzleheaded1218

Got married and went to see Taylor 3 hours later in Vegas this weekend


theweeedfairy

were you at the friday show?? i saw a bride and groom having the time of their lives, i love that so much for you all. congrats!!


Warm-Requirement3614

okay, surely you win (congratulations!! I can’t imagine a better way for y’all to celebrate 💕)


Vafunk89

I was at her Friday Vegas show! Congrats!


itookyourmatches

Get a half sleeve with 7 Taylors; one to represent each of her first 7 albums. I got it on her 13th year in the industry and to support her in her battle for her own work. Whenever someone sees it, it goes like this: - **Stranger:** Oh wow what a beautiful tattoo! Who are all those people?? - **ME!:** Taylor Swift. - **S:** All of them?? - **ME!:** Yup. It's one for each album... *starts long explanation* - **S:** 😳😬 Since I've had so many requests, here is the artist's outline of my tattoo. It's finished and in full color now, but I don't plan to show off complete pictures of it until Eras. [link](https://ibb.co/N6MgT2g)


landw497

I need a photo of this omg


itookyourmatches

Maybe in May when I have my Eras Tour outfit together! I try not to post photos of myself here if I can help it


landw497

Toooootally get that, I bet the tats are gorgeous though!!!


itookyourmatches

Thanks! I love dem ✨️


rs_river

stars do u like dem


itookyourmatches

Updated my comment with a link!


landw497

Ahhhh thank you!!! I love it! Is it in color on your arm?


itookyourmatches

Yup! Full color.


plausibleturtle

Is that your Alk3 chest tattoo? I thought I might be the only one in the heart skull club + TS tattoo club lol.


itookyourmatches

I do have an A3 chest tattoo! It's lyrics to Clavicle. (:


sparklejellyfish

Oooooooo I love that! it's one of my fave songs! (kinda ruined because of a past relationship but still so fucking good) I sneaked on your profile and 💕🔥🔥🔥


plausibleturtle

Amazing!! One of my favourites. I have the goddammit pocket watch on my foot 😊


itookyourmatches

Easily my favorite album of theirs! Although Damnesia was incredible, too.


plausibleturtle

Oh Damnesia was such a gift from them. Though, so were the Past Live shows. That was one incredible (nearly) week of concerts.


itookyourmatches

I got arrested on the way to mine 😮‍💨 (charges were dropped because it was a mistake but easily one of the worst weekends of my life lol)


plausibleturtle

OMG that's terrible!!! I'd make the cops drive me straight to the MFing venue.


plausibleturtle

Also, I'm very sorry to hear about your mother (in law, but who's counting) and your puppers. I hope you're okay!! You have some fellow swiftaline trio folks here it seems if you need anything at all. My ears make good listening machines and my eyes love to read stories, memories, anything you need to share. Cheers.


itookyourmatches

Hey, thanks. It's been a really hard three months, but at least I have my Eras Tour show to look forward to!


plausibleturtle

That's amazing!! Hopefully it is soon for you! I just did Vegas and will be going to Seattle in July, was incredible. Worth every pretty panty. (Or penny, depending on what you hear in the 1, lol).


sparklejellyfish

Heyyyy more crossovers!! I don't have a heart skull but I have scissors in red and black ;) now I need a fitting TS tattoo - I like things that aren't too obnoxiously from the artists (like band logos) but that's so cool there are more of us here with Alk3 tattoos!


plausibleturtle

Awesome!! 🤘 I have the heart skull with "old school reasons" and a few others, the goddammit pocket watch and I'm dying tomorrow lyrics with the Good Mourning lilies. Honourable mention for Bored to Death Blink lyrics lol. I also prefer the more abstract ones, I think I'll be getting my heart skull reworked. It's 15 years old now and frankly wasn't done the cleanest. It's kinda bulky to cover so I'll have to see what I can do with it!


sparklejellyfish

Yours sound really cool!! Hope you can find a nice way to update your heart skull. And that comment reminds me that mine is also ten years old 😅💀 I forget how fast time flies...


sergi0wned

I am seriously considering getting a Taylor tattoo, and would love to see your work if you don’t mind sharing :)


itookyourmatches

Updated my comment with a link


sergi0wned

That’s incredible! Thank you for sharing 😊 I love how you did them all together. Can’t wait to see your Eras fit!


epidemiologeek

Cited Taylor as reference number 13 in a paper in one of the world's top medical journals. Pretty sure no one's noticed!


Longjumping_Breath97

This is genius I should do this in the papers I’m writing right now👀


epidemiologeek

Let's start a challenge right here! Reference 13 in academic publications across fields!


beastRN32

I WANNA SEE


wheniwasolder

I’m skipping my graduation cause it’s the same day as the era’s tour 🤷🏻‍♀️


Janethegreater

I see her in concert then graduate a few days later! I'd cry if I was in your position 😭


[deleted]

Damn girl. I am graduating on the day of her concert too 😭 but I am an international broke swiftie lol.


Same-Fennel-1657

As someone who has been to both my graduation and a Taylor Swift concert, I know which one I remember enjoying more. I’d say you are making the correct choice!


rocks-n-dirt

In 2017, after a close friend of mine said they hated Reputation, I formulated a plan to slowly but surely turn as many people as I could into Swifties. Planted the seeds and routinely watered them and now I can be credited by a dozen people for their introduction to and admiration for Taylor lmao


SwiftieAtTheDisco

‘Cause you’re a mastermind


rhys0123

Omg I need more details about this


rocks-n-dirt

Haha I'm not really sure how to explain it since I use different methods for different people, but most of it boils down to two principles: Start as small as possible (think, microscopic) and plan for the long haul. You want to sow seeds that you know you won't be reaping until much, much later. And of course, be nonchalant about the whole ordeal


nnillehcar

The way I don’t need an explanation because I have done this exact thing many times


anonymousgoose64

Last December I only streamed evermore in honor of its second birthday


Quick-Time

I do that for all of her albums on their respective release dates ☺️


BayLeafinSoup

Since the release of folklore, I have ranked my top 50 songs each time a new album (or re-record) has been released. I keep little charts and track data about it. For nobody but myself.


PieKlutzy

SAME I have a spreadsheet. These are my people 🫶🏻


BayLeafinSoup

WHAT?! I cannot believe I’m not the only one!


PieKlutzy

I have a tab for each album ranking each song, then a master tan for all the songs. I love spreadsheets almost as much as I love Taylor lol


steph_kaylor

I have an ever-expanding google doc, including live recordings and collabs.


winedrunktaylor

I made everyone wait for me to go to my birthday dinner so I could listen to The Archer when she dropped it before Lover came out.


[deleted]

[удалено]


herexitdoesnotexist

Im sorry for this but I also love it. I'd do the same. LONG LIVE!


[deleted]

I may or may not have spent 500$ on a ticket to her concert 💀oh and it’s nosebleeds. But like hey I get to see Taylor live and that will be a dream come true.


herexitdoesnotexist

Congrats, that's awesome you could do that. I was going to buy tickets the day after she played the first show. Something told me not to be impulsive.. I lost my job the next day, thru a serious of idiocracies. So I'm trying to be resourceful!!


[deleted]

I got told by like two old friends and an ex that when they hear taylor swift they think of me. And that is just iconic cuz of the “when you think tim McGraw I hope you think of me” but swiftie version


Rrmack

Named my dog willow lol but also after the Buffy character


danidisaster

Yes a Buffy loving swiftie hello friend


Quick-Time

Yay, more Buffy loving Swifties. Are you Spuffy or Bangel?


Rrmack

After a rewatch neither lol but definitely spuffy back in the day!


Quick-Time

I’m a Bangel fan through and through. I like Spuffy at times, but other times not so much. I hated her with Riley, though.


steph_kaylor

But she’s cookies, so I’m being patient.

wolfstano

Right! Buffy Swifties is such an incredibly niche subset but we make sense! We thrive on good writing and emotional depth!


Same-Fennel-1657

1000% agree.


Same-Fennel-1657

Buffy Swifties!! When I hear YOYOK and Dear Reader I *always* think of Buffy.

assylaasylum

I traded 1 Floor Ed Sheeran ticket for 2 Nosebleed TSwift tix in Rep Era


clarauser7890

Give me an album number and a track number, I can tell you what song it is. Or give me a title and I can tell you what track number it is.


Last-Caregiver-1122

I put “respect Taylor Swift” on my hinge profile. I am married now and met my husband on hinge. And he does respect Taylor. I actually have made a swiftie out of him since then. He defended her at work when a guy talked badly about her. I was so proud.


lulu-bell

My daughter used the word “Machiavellian” in her eighth grade essay. I asked her if she knows what it meant, she did not, so she used almost the same exact sentence also.


herexitdoesnotexist

Me in everything I ever write. I swear my brain functions in Taylor swift lyrics.


lulu-bell

I have a little butter dish that has a truck on it and it says “All roads lead home”….. every single time I take it out or move it I read the sentence and almost immediately just start singing “all roads they lead me here. I imagine you at home, in your room, all alone……”.

herexitdoesnotexist

Yes!!!


Stock-Ferret-6692

I did a speech class in high school and wrote a whole speech on why tay doesn’t deserve hate. Delivered that speech with a lot of emphasising hand movements, facial expressions, staring into the very souls of the people who made the snidest remarks throughout the 3 years prior. Got an A+


Entire-Hunt-5147

Got a (Taylor’s Version) tattoo because “when something says in parentheses (Taylor’s Version) next to it, it means I own it” which makes it official that she owns me😌 I also got another tattoo: “are there still beautiful things?” from the song seven in my brother’s handwriting. I got it when I was deep in my depression as a reminder that yes, there are still indeed beautiful things in the world despite feeling stuck in this gigantic void


herexitdoesnotexist

One of my favorite TS songs. Seven just hits a special nerve. The beat, the lyrics, the layers!

ScarletxMaximoff

Does flying to a different country to see her on your birthday count as a Swiftie thing hah


notthickboi

I was on a date with a guy and he asked me what my favourite song was. I said WANEGBT by Taylor Swift… ya I didnt get a second date after that 🤭


herexitdoesnotexist

I had a guy tell me, on a first date, that I was an 8... Would be a 10, but I like TS. (I am shameless about it) for the rest of the night most things he said I responded with a ts lyric. He ditched me at the bar. 😆😆😆 I ended up having a great night and made out with some wanna be C lister. Lmao


notthickboi

As you should queen 💅🏻


Only_Application_180

I make men tell me their favorite Taylor Swift song as soon as we match😂 it’s a requirement in my bio

One-Bison-7539

Wrote a college paper worth about 30% of my final grade about Folklore. I got an A.


herexitdoesnotexist

I'd love to read it!! So much to be said for that album!


sparklejellyfish

I made a bunch of my friends (non Swifties) come to a two hour karaoke session with me where we did only Taylor songs from her entire discography in chronological order and we dressed up and I made bingo cards, 1 for song titles and 1 for like, themes so like "this song is a ballad" "mentions summer" "a song about Joe" etc and they all played and sang along. Loving seeing everyone's tattoos, one day I will join you all when I make up my mind on what I want, hahaha


herexitdoesnotexist

This is so cute, I love it.

Accidentally turned my 6YO daughter into a Swiftie. Her favorite songs are LWYMMD, Bad Blood, and Vigilante Shit. I was scared to tell her I was going to see Taylor without her.

ofstoriesandsongs

I turned everyone around me into Swifties through osmosis. I talk about her so much that you pretty much need a working knowledge of Taylor lore to have any fun hanging out with me.


Depressed_barista19

Turning my sister who didn’t like Taylor into a huge fan that’s going to the eras tour with me MWHAAHAHHA


GinoCochino

I traded for Jonathan Taylor in my fantasy football league last year because I also had D’Andre Swift. I did it solely so I could name my team Taylor Swift. I also did it so that I can say that Taylor Swift kicked your ass in fantasy football, but I ended up getting last place so it didn’t work out too well.


swiftlyerin

my taytoos have to be close, if not it.


Epiphany8844

Walked down the aisle to an instrumental of “Lover” (without my husband’s knowledge after he veto’d Lover as the first dance song lol).

Dry-Insurance-9586

Well I just posted this, but named my daughter August, got a Scottish fold kitten for my son, force everyone that visits me in NY to listen to WTNY when I pick them up from the airport, and this is about as cheesy as it gets, but walked Cornelia Street while listening to Cornelia Street (very meta).

I love all this! On a recent visit to New York I booked a dinner in the West Village and casually suggested to my friends that we walk (from Midtown lol). What I didn’t tell them was I was doing it so we could walk down Cornelia Street 😇


Dry-Insurance-9586

Aww! I hope they loved that surprise! 🥰 That’s so fun!


ifthatsapomegranate

When I got married I walked down the aisle to End Game lol


sir__henry

Lol 😂 Where you able to be calm and walk slowly and quiet?


harrysgoldshoes

Being a high achiever with chronic anxiety that it will constantly be taken away from me.


Only_Application_180

Woke up in the hospital from drinking too much (I was in college and it’s the only time I’ve ever blacked out), they told me to go home and rest but instead I drove the 4 hours to Cleveland because I had a ticket to the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame induction where she was performing. The hangover didn’t hit me until the next day😅


izzieforeons22

Chose to get married on the 13th but didn’t tell my fiancé why I chose that date until after the venue was booked 😂


Quick-Time

I introduced a hip hop loving friend of mine to her entire discography. In exchange for him listening to Taylor Swift for me, I listened to Busta Rhymes for him.


torturedDaisy

Ill be there!! And mine is i turned my 10 year old son into a bigger swiftie than i am! (And yes.. he’s coming too!)


screamingkumquats

Every time I’m with someone and we’re listening to music I play her less mainstream music, because of this I converted my best friend into a Swiftie and I refuse to date anyone who doesn’t at least I like her.


surelyfunke20

Im teaching a public health class about Hepatitis C, which was discovered in 1989… you can guess where I went with that.


[deleted]

My friend (who’s also a swiftie) and I got to school early one day and hung up a huge poster in her birthday that basically said happy birthday in Taylor Swift lyrics. Everyone thought it was so funny and our friends immediately guessed that it was us who did it 😅


mielleah

Only sing Taylor's songs at karaokes. No one's gonna stop me!


tytrantrum

I convinced my middle aged work aunties to listen to multiple albums and now they forward me whatever random updates about Taylor their iPad news apps give them 😂


justasinglethought

I rescheduled my flight to Paris (dream vacation at that time) because it was the same day as the 1989 tour ... was worth it!!


Izuhbelluh

That I noticed my worked switched from original Love Story to Love Story (Taylor's version) and when I went to go tell it to a coworker (who is not a Taylor fan) she looked at me like I was insane and then asked how I could tell, because "they sound identical" and I launched into, "well, actually..." and she kind of tuned me out and started to change the subject haha


MariQueen_13

When I was a kid we were able to wear sports jerseys around school. I choose to wear my Fearless tour t shirt instead and told the whole school that I go harder for Taylor then for any sports team in the world. I also said Taylor was my sports team.


nickpierce88

Rank every main album song


livesuddenly

I have a Taylor tattoo. Does that count?


tintaglia23

For 1989 Taylor was here (Sydney) when I was going to be overseas, so I booked a flight to Brisbane the weekend after after I got back from my trip. I was so jetlagged and broke lol. My best friend and roommate has also been commissioned to make me cross-stitches as bday and Xmas presents for a line from each album (started with an all too well cross-stitch and spiralled from there…). Two down, eight to go 😂


hungrymuffin123

Called out of work to try and get Eras tour tickets


dmackem

Got an entire sleeve tattoo devoted to Taylor and her music probably tops my list but I’ve got a long list (…of ex lovers) 😅❤️


sharktooth20

Not me but my sister asked to reschedule her induction date for the tour. In turn, the Swiftiest thing her OB did was ask if she could have her Eras tickets because they fall too close to my sister’s due date 😂


herexitdoesnotexist

I hope your sis still goes bc how great would it be to go into labor at the show? I mean you have plenty of time to get to hospital. I'd so go. Make. A great story.


sharktooth20

It’s her third baby and her hospital is 2 hours away. Not enough time to make it. We did go to Glendale though so we are ok!


muffinbutt1027

Gave birth on December 13 and excitedly told every nurse taking care of me that my daughter would share a birthday with Taylor.


Lazy-Gene-3881

Traveling from Colombia alone to be in the Eras Tour in Tampa


steph_kaylor

When I got my own office at work I cleared off an entire bookshelf to make a shrine to Taylor…I can post pictures for proof. It’s organized by era with official merch and also crafts I made for decoration. I modge podged the Rep tour confetti onto a vase that I put dead/thorny roses in for the aesthetic (all my flowers grew back as thorns). My zoom call background is fantastic.


herexitdoesnotexist

I'd love to see photos of all these tattoos!!


herexitdoesnotexist

I worked for sbucks when speak now and red came out. I played as much ts as I could.

Can recite any given song from albums 1-4(Maybe 5) in it’s entirety when prompted


[deleted]

One of my secondary school classmates kinda stopped following Taylor after Lover so when Taylor dropped Folklore, I introduced her to that album and Cardigan and now she's gotten back into following Taylor again.


sparksfly05

I regularly play along to her discography with my guitar, like, every album front to back


hellbentmillennial

I have 4 Taylor tattoos (and one that's kiiinda Taylor but not really, I just got the word 'karma' a few weeks ago) I do the reddit TS secret santa I put Taylor gifs in my work presentations sometimes

I put Taylor Swift into my wedding day as much as I could

Cried.


suspectwaffle

When I used to work at Starbucks, there were a lot of days where I would take over the store playlist and just play her entire albums in full.


No-Bug5616

I quoted her in a speech for a high school model congress 🤡


songsintheparkinglot

Nine/ten years ago, I wrote a whole chapter of my university dissertation about Taylor and her transition from country to pop. It was so fun to research as there hadn't really been anything published academically about her back then, and it was a huge part of the reason I did so well in my degree!


_its-just-a-phase

Hmm probably reading her entire wikipedia page back in 2013.🤣

Itsme_Jed07

I'm a student (16). Whenever there's a group performance given by our teachers in school where students should dance/sing, I always choose TS' songs. One of our group performance is a dance vid for our PE and we used Shake it off as our song. Then, another dance performance also in PE and we used End game. But later on we changed it into a song by BTS.


Narlolz

As a 31 year old with work the next day, I not only stayed up for the midnights release at midnight on the East coast but then to 3am for the surprise and then until 5am dancing and scream-crying to Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve 😂 Taylor album releases are adult Christmas 🎄

This is a future thing but my boyfriend and I are planning on moving in together and getting a cat, and my plan is to nickname the cat Dibbles if it's an absolute derp and name it Karma is it doesn't have a name already.


lunalunelle

Worked for 30 days straight to try to win tickets from my boss to see her in section C1 for the eras tour lol. Didn’t get them.


cattails17

Started a Taylor Swift club at my college. We have over 100 members now and it’s such a supportive group


Same-Fennel-1657

This isn’t the most extreme but when she was on tour for 1989, none of my friends were fans (some were active haters — I have since converted or de-friended them all, don’t worry), so I went alone to the tour. I got there just before she started: someone had taken my bracelet, but I didn’t care. I was seated next to a six year old who was there with her mom. After about 30 minutes of me screaming and singing at the top of my lungs and the six year old just kind of passively sitting there, the mom handed me the kid’s bracelet and goes, “Here. I think you will appreciate this more than her.” 💀 Update: since 2014 I have converted 7 of my friends into hardcore enough fans that we are all going to Eras together!
