Bring your clown hats, your wild theories, and your hype, this community is for you.
Some basic guidelines:
- Posts should be about Taylor Swift
- "Shoehorned" articles about Taylor are considered not relevant.
- Criticism of Taylor is fine, but open trolling or low effort posts like "Her music sux" will be removed.
- Downvote trolling is actively monitored. Downvotes are enabled and welcome, but if all that you do is downvote, it will result in bans. Join the discourse, if you don't like this community feel free to block it. Admins have the ability to see votes by user, and we use that ability here.
- General "Don't be a dick" rules apply, no trolling, no being a jerk
- No NSFW. This is a fun Swiftie community. NSFW is banned here.
- Use the "spoiler" tag generously when it comes to Tour spoilers. Pictures and outfits are fine, but streams/setlists should be marked. (Remember while the US tour is winding down, our global Swifties are just ramping up)
- Add [Spoiler] to your title
- Use the spoiler text for any spoilers in comments/description (the triangle with the exclamation point)

I won't lie, it'll take a while to fully get up on your own feet - but it's absolutely worth it in the long run. It hurts now, the anger, the confusion, all of those feelings I felt, but they'll slowly morph into new feelings. Now I don't feel as much anger at my dad, more pity that he is so stuck. I don't feel like I left my family, I know they chose themselves over me, and that still stings but it's something I can work with.
I also set up a rule of no more politics in discussions, it's honestly just easier. I view it as that way someone who disagrees with me and I can become friends, and then maybe later we can realize that we aren't so different after all. Maybe I'm not the terrifying liberal boogeyman the media has made me out to be.
It sucks at first, but you already did the hardest thing. Work on yourself, work on reflection, get extra help if you need it, and you'll be okay. Know that you aren't alone in what you've been through :)
