Most of the things I had planned this summer didn’t end up happening, but there is something I hadn’t planned on that DID happen. And that thing is my 8th studio album, folklore. Surprise 🤗Tonight at midnight I’ll be releasing my entire brand new album of songs I’ve poured all of my whims, dreams, fears, and musings into. I wrote and recorded this music in isolation but got to collaborate with some musical heroes of mine; Aaron Dessner (who has co-written or produced 11 of the 16 songs), Bon Iver (who co-wrote and was kind enough to sing on one with me), William Bowery (who co-wrote two with me) and Jack Antonoff (who is basically musical family at this point). Engineered by Laura Sisk and Jon Low, mixed by Serban Ghenea & Jon Low. The album photos were shot by the amazing Beth Garrabrant. Before this year I probably would’ve overthought when to release this music at the ‘perfect’ time, but the times we’re living in keep reminding me that nothing is guaranteed. My gut is telling me that if you make something you love, you should just put it out into the world. That’s the side of uncertainty I can get on board with. Love you guys so much ♥️
These aesthetics are giving me major safe and sound vibes !!!!!!
I made this when I was 8 hoping one day I would give it to Taylor 🥺🥺
Taylor during reputation: there will be no explanation, there will just be reputation
Taylor during Lover: HERES 120 PAGES OF MY PERSONAL DIARIES OVER 13 YEARS WHERE YOULL FIND THE ORIGINAL LYRICS TO ALL TOO WELL HAVE A GRAND TIME
Nah nah nah nah... Justin... no.... the real issue is that Taylor has not been allowed to own her own music and has been sold out by the man she trusted with her career age 15. The fact that the new owner is scooter is just the icing on the cake
For years I asked, pleaded for a chance to own my work. Instead I was given an opportunity to sign back up to Big Machine Records and ‘earn’ one album back at a time, one for every new one I turned in. I walked away because I knew once I signed that contract, Scott Borchetta would sell the label, thereby selling me and my future. I had to make the excruciating choice to leave behind my past. Music I wrote on my bedroom floor and videos I dreamed up and paid for from the money I earned playing in bars, then clubs, then arenas, then stadiums.
Some fun facts about today’s news: I learned about Scooter Braun’s purchase of my masters as it was announced to the world. All I could think about was the incessant, manipulative bullying I’ve received at his hands for years.
Like when Kim Kardashian orchestrated an illegally recorded snippet of a phone call to be leaked and then Scooter got his two clients together to bully me online about it. (See photo) Or when his client, Kanye West, organized a revenge porn music video which strips my body naked. Now Scooter has stripped me of my life’s work, that I wasn’t given an opportunity to buy. Essentially, my musical legacy is about to lie in the hands of someone who tried to dismantle it.
This is my worst case scenario. This is what happens when you sign a deal at fifteen to someone for whom the term ‘loyalty’ is clearly just a contractual concept. And when that man says ‘Music has value’, he means its value is beholden to men who had no part in creating it.
When I left my masters in Scott’s hands, I made peace with the fact that eventually he would sell them. Never in my worst nightmares did I imagine the buyer would be Scooter. Any time Scott Borchetta has heard the words ‘Scooter Braun’ escape my lips, it was when I was either crying or trying not to. He knew what he was doing; they both did. Controlling a woman who didn’t want to be associated with them. In perpetuity. That means forever.
Thankfully, I am now signed to a label that believes I should own anything I create. Thankfully, I left my past in Scott’s hands and not my future. And hopefully, young artists or kids with musical dreams will read this and learn about how to better protect themselves in a negotiation. You deserve to own the art you make.
I will always be proud of my past work. But for a healthier option, Lover will be out August 23.
Sad and grossed out,
💔

One thing I noticed is that Chat didn’t only reveal that he knew her identity, but also that they were in love?
She knew that, not only did he know her true identity, but that she fell in love with him, regardless who was under the mask. She fell in love with Chat Noir, someone who she has made it very clear to in the past she would never see like that.
I think she also realised that, since he knew her identity, he also had fallen in love with her civilian form, which I think was one of her biggest fears as a character. I think a part of her was so worried that she wouldn’t live up to Chat’s expectations of her, and therefore never wanted to give him any false hope.
With that being said, she now knows that, when they do find out eachother’s identities, she will love him and he will love her. And I think that’s why, after watching Miracle Queen, she seemed to be jealous of Chat, as well as being much more open towards him.
LIKE IT LOOKED SO HEARTFELT. ONLY SHE HAD SEEN HOW PAINFUL FIGHTING HIM HAD BEEN, AND NOW HES HERE FIGHTING BY HER SIDE.
So yeah, I think season 4 is gonna include a LOT of Marichat, or at least a lot less of a one-sided Ladynoir. And Adrien? He literally admitted that he had feelings for Marinette, so I don’t even need to argue that one.
