Scribbles About Music: Taylor Swift Ready For It

So... I feel like this is slowly becoming a Taylor Swift blog... Lol... It probably isn't... but she just dropped a new single and... now I'm interested in this album... so I'm reviewing it here.

PS- Is she dropping a single every week now? Or every other week?  I'll check back on that and maybe I'll review some together... I really want to give fair time to all the new tv shows and even the returning ones coming this month and the next few months really... so yeah!

Anyhoo- back to the song... it's kind of a rap song for taylor... and it's kind of sexy- kind of a fantasy type of thing... It reminded me of Wildest Dreams- which is what it's being compared to. I also thought that maybe the rapping thing was maybe a jab at Kanye... because Kanye is a rapper... I really thought that this whole song was about Kanye and that Taylor was kind of playing the character he portrayed her as in his song "Famous" because she mentions that she was a "robber" and I thought maybe that was kind of a take on him Robbing her VMA moment and her "robbing" Beyonce of the VMA for Single Ladies... it seems that the song is actually about her current boyfriend. And I just read a whole theory on that because I'm the type of person that reads Taylor Swift fan theories now... anyway yeah- it seems to be about her recently public boyfriend Joe Alwyn... who played a killer in a movie (hence the "I knew he was a killer" lyric.) And they're taking it slow hence the "Are you ready for it" part. He needs to be ready for the public because if Taylor's dating him... the media and her fans are also dating him... wait is that true? Did I technically date Tom Hiddleston then... because Yasss!!! Lol.

Anyway... there's also references to Jail and the article I read said that maybe the Birdcage Taylor is "Ready For It" Taylor... since there's a whole theory that states each of the Taylor's at the end of the video are a Taylor in a song... I'm not sure who she is at the end of the video... I liked the birdcage part of the video because I figured it was like she felt like a canary that everyone just wants to hear sing and doesn't care about her own personal heartbreak or tragedy... idk. Taylor is pretty clever.

I guess I should actually say what I think about the song... I really liked it! I think its fun that she has a rap song because I think she's trying to jab Kanye in some way... and I just thought it was catchy, sexy... seemed a little angry and just very Taylor.

Taylor also loves referencing herself in songs... which is cool. Idk... I want Taylor Swift to date Pete Wentz... but like back when he was dating Ashlee Simpson... I wish it was that Pete Wentz dating this Taylor Swift. I don't think it will ever happen that they date in real life... but I want them to date and break up because then we get a Taylor Swift CD and an angry Fall Out Boy cd and that's just the dream.... lol. I think Taylor is only a year or 2 older than me... so when Pete Wentz was the age I wanted them to date she probably would have been too young and he should have been dating me instead obvs... but it still would have been cool.

ANYWAY back to my review of the song... I like it better than Look What You Made Me Do... I'm not the biggest fan of LWYMMD... before the video came out I reviewed it as "The Lego Movie Version of a Taylor Swift Song" because it seemed like a parody... and it kind of is I guess? Lol. It's pretty good though! But this song is better.

Byeee!

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c...

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f...

Throwback Thursday: 13 Going On 30

So I watched this on VH1 around Christmas Time because it was on... they really need to bring this movie to Netflix because it's pretty fantastic and VH1 doesn't get the whole thing. I didn't catch the very beginning... but I did watch most of it from around the time when Matty gives her the Dream House... so sweet. It was a little weird to watch this movie because when it came out, I was 13 or almost 13... and now I'm closer to being 30... but I still felt more connected to the 13 year old Jenna instead of the adults in the movie. Like I'm not totally sure when I turned almost 30... but I don't like it. I'm still 13 year old Jenna who likes the same music as when I was 13 and has kind of the same style as I did then... I don't know... its just kind of a weird thing and I was freaking out a little bit from it. This is also the movie that introduced me to one of my favorite actresses, Judy Greer! I love Judy Greer, she's so funny and great and s...
