red is just such a good album. it’s a level of artistry that is just jaw-dropping at any age, but for taylor to release it at twenty-two while very much focusing on (and indeed achieving) reaching new commercial peaks at the same time… that is enough to cement anyone as a musical legend

After you’ve had time to process, I absolutely want to hear your thoughts on Taylor’s new album and how it relates to Dair
ah yes, my favourite activity from the national holiday that is taylor swift release day: dairifying the songs
maroon: i claimed this one RIGHT AWAY, do i even need to explain? i chose you, the one i was dancing with in new york with no shoes (taylor mentions new york in a song and i go *leo dicaprio pointing meme* THEM) the rust that grew between telephones the lips i used to call home. very end of s5-s6
anti-hero: i talked about here
snow on the beach: feels so 5x17-5x19 to me… like blair stepping into the loft and dan’s wonder at her wanting him as much as he wants her (you wanting me / tonight feels impossible). and like blair’s face in the met steps scene just screams weird but fucking beautiful !!
midnight rain: the life i gave away / he was sunshine i was midnight rain / he wanted it comfortable i wanted that pain….. WELL.
question…?: i mean. 5x15 kiss but no one clapped for them so. (but: did you wish you’d put up more of a fight / when she said it was too much? OOF)
labyrinth: i clocked that mention of elevators on first listen like HELLO because i’m normal. this song is lovely for dair, especially s4: oh no i’m falling in love again /i thought the plane was going down / how'd you turn it right around?
oh and the line you know how much i hate that everybody just expects me to bounce back just like that is so blair to me! especially wrt like—when she’s been hurt by ch*ck
sweet nothing: god i love this song so much and it’s just so THEM. thinking of all the chaos in their lives and how the loft is this safe haven for them: outside they're push and shoving / you're in the kitchen humming (anyone mentions kitchens in a song/poem and i go *leo dicaprio pointing meme* THEM) all you ever wanted from me was sweet nothing THAT’S REALLY IT! what i talked about in these tags here like there’s just no expectation from dan for blair to drop everything for him, no expectation to be saved or fixed by her (that was just an unexpected result of her love and friendship for him) it’s the first time where there’s NO expectation for her! sweet nothing! just love! oh and of course to you i can admit i’m just to soft for all of it THAT’S IT THATS THEM
paris: DAIRIS ANTHEM THATS RIGHT this song is so… you know what i talked about here about them being isolated but with each other? that’s this song! escaping gossip girl and the chaos of everyone around them. no i didn’t see the news cause we were somewhere else. romance isnt dead if you keep it just yours! in an alleyway drinking cheap champagne!!!!!! this is their song fr
high infidelity: DAIRFAIR ANTHEM blair to ch*ck like: you know there’s many different ways that you can kill the one you love / the slowest way is never loving them enough…do i really have to tell you how he brought me back to life? (and again: VERY relevant, perfect timing, 👀👀👀)
glitch: i mean, obviously. we were supposed to be just friends / you don't live in my part of town, but maybe i'll see you out some weekend. literally and then we started making plans to meet and even worse ENJOYING it. literally i never thought the person i’d want would be blair waldorf. i think there’s been a glitch!

ok 1 but list as many as you can off memory
blue lips (regina spektor)
king in red (tensei? homestuck)
all of that one homestuck album where every song is named [color] [class]
is the goodbye blue skies song called that or is that just one of its lyrics?
red river and blue river from new albion
bombshelle blonde & monochrome mentality are both KIND of colors
p!nk (the artist)
one of the tally hall guys made a "black rainbow" song didnt they
blood red roses
ode to crayola as a bonus. it doesnt count but it should. in my heart
black rose : green sun
queen of white lies
and similarly Little White Lie
the green room pale
green sea village
the copper war
pink fluffy unicorns dancing on rainbows
whats the use of feeling blue
collapses in struggle. Uhhhhhhhh. i think thats all i have. surprisingly decent memory methinks
edit like five seconds after posting: ALSO REDMAGEDDON!!!! AH

I've been listening to Taylor a lot recently (what else is new?) and prepping for the tour, and I decided to do some rankings, so anyway, here is my top 10 TS songs as well as all 10 of her albums ranked from least favorite to top favorite:
10. Blank Space
9. cardigan
8. Treacherous
7. champagne problems
6. Wildest Dreams
5. Sparks Fly
4. Would've, Could've, Should've
3. Lavender Haze
2. Anti-Hero
1. Don't Blame Me
All 10 TS albums ranked, keep in mind I love songs on all of these and don't think she ever really misses, but this is just my personal ranking based off of the overall vibes, how much I relate to the songs, the general sound, and which ones I find myself going back to most often:
10. Taylor Swift
9. Fearless (Taylor's version)
8. Speak Now
7. Red (Taylor's version)
6. folklore
5. evermore
4. Lover
3. 1989
2. Midnights
1. Reputation
