i cannot properly convey what i felt seeing taylor post this in real time. she was cancelled, went off the grid, blacked out her socials, then released the most aggressive first single known to man. and then she posted this

(yes ofc i remember the other singles and stuff that happened but until ciwyw, we had not seen taylor be just plain happy in ages)

ciwyw will always be my comfort song and this is why i think, the feeling of like, relief when it came out was so strong. like reassurance that dispute everything she was okay and still had happiness. i was in a bad place myself at the time so it was very comforting

She looked really happy & healthy 🤍

CIWYW will always be that girl.

Her life must be so amazing

One of the most beautiful songs in her catalog

Remember when she said Rep was a “it's a goth punk moment of female rage” she was talking about dropping LWYMMD and that being her moment of rage. But the rest of the album essentially being “hey here’s my boyfriend and I absolutely love him so much!”

it was rare, i was there, i remember it all too well

I remember feeling such a relief bc she looked so healthy and happy, it honestly was everything we needed to know at that time 😭

Baby made her own cake 😭
