hey taylor!!! my name is sarah and i just wanted to say thank you for helping me on my whole entire life journey since i was in elementary school (i’m 21 now). thank you for creating a safe space with your music for someone like me to go to when they are not feeling okay or when they want to dance around their room because they’re actually feeling happy. i’m officially three years clean now (!!!!!!!) and you have played a major role in me being able to find myself, finding happiness in the small victories, and knowing it’s okay to be not okay. i will never be able to put into words how much i love you and how much you mean to me. if i could give you the whole world i would. thank you for everything, i have absolutely no idea who i would be without having you as such a positive influence and a safe outlet to cry to even when i’m hurting in silence. i’m sending you the most giant hug and i hope one day we can make that hug a reality. once again, i love you and thank you :)
I’m Karen you might not of seen me floating around before but I am new to the whole tumblr thing.
I’ve been a fan since I was 11 and my mum got me the fearless cd for my 13th birthday. Every year I got your albums and I loved listening to whole new songs and whole new stories. Due to certain friends judging me for my music taste I feel like I couldn’t show my love for you around them or on social media which was very hard.
It wasn’t until I met my girlfriend crystal ( @drunkonswiftt ) in 2016 and meeting her friends who are now my friends that I throughly realised who my real friends are and got rid of that toxic group of friends. I now feel like I can be my through self and enjoy your music and not feel like I can’t.
You have met so many of my friends and I want to thank you for that because you have made them the happiest people in the world. Maybe one day it will be my turnđź’—
I want to thank you for everything you’ve done and for helping me with my anxiety when I moved to London through jobs messing me around being horrible and having to go for so many interviews your song “breathe” helped me to relax and have a clear mind and just feel like I could do anything.
hi taylor, it’s me crystal! i hate to be writing this but my old tumblr account (@drunkonswiftt) has been terminated and i had to make this new account, therefore i lost my follow and likes i’ve ever had from you :( i know it’s a lot to ask but it would mean so much to me if you could follow this account now so we can carry on interacting!
love you, always

the dollhouse analogy is a LOT … if you think about it, dolls in a dollhouse have no privacy .. you can always see what they are doing .. in every room at any time…. someone is always peering in. The people who effectively reduce famous people to ‘dolls’ and don’t see them as humans anymore… really do do just that… .they decide who is best paired with who, who’s the prettier one, who’s the outcast. Who gets to be the favorite, who is tossed to the side.
For taylor to compare being a star in the digital age to living in a dollhouse and/or being a doll makes me a) sad b) in awe of her ability to take something so complex (fame) and strip it down in a way in which everyone can understand
