It’s me, hi!
Hi Tumblr, I’m new here. I finally decided to join because there’s something I want to share with the world and I don’t know where else to do it.
First, I think I need to introduce myself. I’m a 32 year old Swiftie . I guess that makes me a geriatric Swiftie (or an ancient Swiftie, as is currently trending on Twitter). I have loved Taylor Swift since the summer of 2008, when I listened to “Our Song” and “Tim McGraw” - if this Tumblr thing works out maybe I can tell you how I made those to my songs for years.
Anyways, since 2010 I had been toying with the idea of using Taylor songs to write a musical, sort of like Mamma Mia did with ABBA. Back then there were only two albums to work with but I swear I had an idea going. See, in 2010 I kissed my friend’s ex boyfriend and I felt really guilty, so she was a character who would sing “Should’ve Said No” and we would both sing “Fifteen”, pretending like we met then although we met when I was four. But… I never wrote it.
Until last year.
And so, that’s why I’m here - to anonymously share my Taylor Swift inspired #musical with the world. Before I share, there’s three things I’d like to say:
English is not my first language, so please don’t judge me if the grammar isn’t perfect;
I finished writing this before #Midnights came out so no songs from that album are included - not because I don’t love it; and,
While I wrote the words, I can’t say I wrote this by myself - it’s 17 years of Taylor’s work and needs to be acknowledged as such!
It’s kind of long and since I’m new here so I need to figure out how I’ll post it on here but in a couple of days I’ll put up the character names and their descriptions, and we can get the ball running.
So if you’ve read this far, thank you! I’m nervous and your support helps. I’ll talk to you soon.
Oh, and the musical is called “New Romantics: A Taylor Swift Musical”.
