Toups

I don't mind if she "dances" on a few songs. It's not like it's hardcore dances moves - it's just a few moves. I don't see anything wrong with that. I know she's not going to be doing that in her 40's. Speaking of singer-songwriter mode, she did a Live Lounge for the BBC Radio. I really love the Can't Stop Loving You cover, and the re-imagined Holy Ground (maybe that's a preview of what's to come when she re-records her old albums, they'll be new versions?). Songs in spoiler tags.....also Billboard numbers are in there (stupid editing):

AAHHH!!! What an album! I knew Taylor wouldn't disappoint me. So many good songs! Snap reaction: the two early standouts for me (not including the 4 songs already released) are The Man and Cruel Summer. I'll post more later, after more listens.

Not a fan of "Bad Guy" but thank God! "Let's create 20 remixes so the song will stay number one!!" Give me a break, OTR! LOL Please change that stupid rule, Billboard!

So apparently the album will be put on streaming right away. Say goodbye to the one-million-in-the-first-week streak (pure album sales). I really think she could've got more than one million again if she waited, but I guess streaming rules and she's given in to it. Only Taylor and Adele can sell pure albums, so it will be interesting to see what Adele does with her next album. Ugh, streaming. LOL.

I love this one the most out of the four songs from the album. Favourite parts/lyrics: - Can I go where you go? / Can we always be this close forever and ever? (love singing the "gooooooo" and "cloooooose" in high notes LOL) - And I'm highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you / I've loved you three summers now, honey, but I want 'em all - With every guitar string scar on my hand / I take this magnetic force-of-a-man to be my lover The song was written by Taylor; produced by Taylor and Jack Antonoff. It's the first song since "Red" that she's released as a single that she solely wrote. I think it's been 7 years since she released this type of song as a single - a love story with instruments. The last one was "Begin Again" in 2012. Lover Track List 1. I Forgot That You Existed 2. Cruel Summer 3. Lover 4. The Man 5. The Archer 6. I Think He Knows 7. Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince 8. Paper Rings 9. Cornelia Street 10. Death By a Thousand Cuts 11. London Boy 12. Soon You'll Get Better (feat. Dixie Chicks) 13. False God 14. You Need to Calm Down 15. Afterglow 16. ME! (feat. Brendon Urie) 17. It's Nice to Have a Friend 18. Daylight Less than a week to go! So excited!

I loved it!! I thought it was very funny, had some heart, and soapy. My favourite character so far is "Jennie" because I thought she was the funniest/bitchy-est. I really like the concept too - them playing characters that have their names and some of their real life history, and now they're coming together to try and create a "reboot".

Happy that Bianca won, becoming the first Canadian woman in 50 years to win this tournament...........but this is definitely not how anyone wanted it to play out, especially Bianca who dreamed of this moment (playing at home against the greatest of all time in the finals). If she can stay healthy, I think she's going to have a great career.

I've always hated how Billboard does the Hot 100 charts when it came to combining remixes into one. That's a big reason why Old Town Road has the record now. Justin Bieber even came out with a "Bad Guy" remix to try and get Billie Eilish to #1 and prevent OTR from breaking the "Despacito"/"One Sweet Day" record. IMO, a remix should be counted as its own, and not added to the original song.

No surprise there. That's what happens with you get two of the best all time players playing in a 5th set tie break for the championship. Speaking of tie breaks, I really think Wimbledon should change the rules for the 5th set again. I would love it for them to go back to "win by 2" in the 5th set just for the championship - there's no next match to be tired for.

Cold As You, White Horse, Dear John, All Too Well, All You Had To Do Was Stay, Delicate..........and now The Archer joining the emotional-track-5-club. The song was written and produced by Taylor and Jack Antonoff, so it's not surprising that it has an 80's vibe to it with the synth and vocal reverb. I like how the song has this slow-easy-going-constant-flow with the tempo and continuous bass beat rarely changing. I love the lyrics! Favourite ones are: - Screaming who could ever leave me, darling / But who could stay? - And I cut off my nose just to spite my face / Then I hate my reflection for years and years - I wake in the night / pace like a ghost / The room is on fire / invisible smoke /And all of my heroes die all alone / Help me hold on to you - 'Cause they see right through me / They see right through me / They see right through / Can you see right through me? / They see right through / They see right through me / I see right through me / I see right through me (This is my favourite part of the song: They see.....Can You see.....then she raises her voice a bit when she gets to I See) - 'Cause all of my enemies started out friends / Help me hold on to you

Two of the greatest players just played one of the best Wimbledon finals match. This is why most people watch to see Federer/Djokovic, or Federer/Nadal, or Nadal/Djokovic – best vs best. Was rooting, and had money on Roger, so I was disappointed to see him lose with having two match points on his serve. Novak is only 32? If he stays healthy, he definitely could get to 20+, especially with no future superstars coming up. There’s no reason for the big 3 to retire as long as they keep going deep in grand slams.

I don't think she does need to play more, especially at her age. She still has the skill and experience to get the finals of a grand slam - same goes for Federer and Nadal. See, I don't think being in the finals should "hit her in the moment" because of the experience. I don't watch enough tennis to know the ins-and-outs of people's gameplay, so maybe your "plan B" theory is right. Going out 6-2, 6-2, without a fight, is just sad to see from a superstar like Serena. If it was a hard fought battle in 3 sets, then maybe I could give her some slack. I don't agree with BJK. Serena's been a star from basically the beginning of her career, so why would "being a star" affect her now? It's not like she was out partying these last two weeks during the tournament.

Why does Serena keep blowing these opportunities in the finals? She’s still the best to ever play the game but I want to see her break the record. Very disappointed.

Only caught the last two games of Fed/Nadal match and wow, those were awesome games. That’s why the majority of people love watching those two play against each other (on non clay courts).

Just found out that Maya Hawke (Robin) is Ethan Hawke/Uma Thurman's daughter. Now that I know that, I do see some Uma in her. She definitely has parents' acting talent. And she's now on the same show as Winona Ryder who was in Reality Bites with her dad! Another connection is both Maya and Winona Ryder played Jo March from Little Women - Winona in 1994, and Maya in 2017.

Season 3 is excellent from start to finish - the last 2 eps are really good! My favourite moment of the season was I also liked the Steve/Robin and Steve/Dustin pairings. Yeah, season 2 wasn't as good as season 1 or 3. The

Another fun, bright and colourful video. Taylor co-directed again. I hope this trend continues. I think she could be a great director one day. Aw, Katy and Taylor again. Hope there's a collaboration coming. I suspect there's going to be quite a few hamburger and fries costumes at her concerts - just hope I won't be beside on one of them because I'm going to need space to move/dance. LOL I admit, I don't know who half those people are in the video. LOL One of the favourite parts of the video were the drag queens dressed up as (from left to right): Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, Adele, Cardi B, Taylor, Beyonce, Katy Perry, Nikki Minaj). "And we see you over there on the internet / Comparing all the girls who are killing it / But we figured you out / We all know now we all got crowns /You need to calm down." I also liked the part at the end where the two homophobes ditch their signs and walk away from the other protesters - people can realize their mistakes, learn, and change.

No matter what she does, there's always going to be criticism, even when she's doing really good things. There's always going to be something to pick apart. It's the takedown culture we live in now. She's decided to more political now in support of the LGBTQ community, more than she's ever been before (she's always been, but now it's in a big way). There's the criticism of her being "too late" or "too much" or "extra" about her support, or doing for sales. Is she going to stop her support once this album cycle is over? Hell no. This is just beginning.....and everyone has to start somewhere. Taylor Swift Donates $113,000 to Tennessee Equality Project to Fight Anti-LGBTQ Bills Taylor Swift Urges Senate to Pass Equality Act in Letter to Tennessee Senator Petition to Support the Equality Act This is something that she truly cares about and is now using her voice to try and get things changed for the better. I'm always going to be proud of her, and this just makes me love her even more.

The album title is okay, I guess. I would've preferred something different. LOL Maybe it'll grow on me. Excited that there's going to be 18 songs - the most she's ever had on an album. Love the opening beats of YNTCD. The song is another Joel Little production (with Taylor as co-producer). I have a feeling that the lyrics "Cause shade never made anybody less gay" will be one of the loudest lyrics yelled out at her concerts. I also like the progression of "step on my gown" to "step on his gown" to "step on our gown." I do really like the song, but like Me!, it's not going to be one of my favourites.

Federal vs Nadal is what gets people (non-hardcores) to watch - like me. Too bad the match will start at 4am my time. Hope the final will the Joker vs one of these guys. Don’t care about who’s left on the women’s side.

I'm going to give him a chance. Funny thing is he's currently filming a movie that Christopher Nolan is directing. Just looking at his IMDB, it looks like he hasn't done a big movie since the last Twilight movie, choosing to do smaller non-tentpole films.

Fantastic editing in this tribute video:

I was satisfied with the ending. I predicted a Stark would end up with the Throne, I just didn't think it would be Bran. LOL I see a future movie with Arya's adventure out west. If Dany had to die, I hoped it would be Jon who kills her, so I was happy with what happened there. Fantastic scene with Drogon nudging Dany, realizing she's dead, burns down the Iron Throne, and then takes off with her body. I do wish that there were more episodes, in seasons 7 and 8, so things could've been fleshed out more. I loved Cersei so I would've liked to see more of her this season, and wish she got a better death. Despite the criticisms and faults that show has received for these last couple of seasons, it still will go down as one of the best dramas of all time - when we see those lists (Top 10, Top 20, etc), GOT will be on it, and rightfully so.

But maybe it could've been Jon AND Arya. To not have Jon be part of TNK's demise was a let down. They've had two big battles and we waited so long for their final showdown.

LOL at that moment when the cat handler says, "He is available." 😂 Then she shows him to her parents like it's her child. Such sweet moments.
