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!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...
