It was rare. I was there. (No literally) sobbing my little eyes out in that crowd of 60,000 😭🫶🏼 Queen T was ofc also my top artist and WAOLOM my top song, yes I absolutely WRECKED my voice screaming every single word 🙂↕️ I am chomping at the bit waiting for Beg, Borrow, or Steal!! Sending you the biggest hug! Ily!!!! Do you hear!!!! 🫂
Just reread your babies Claire and Connor yesterday and I LOVE THEM SO BIG!! Gifted them to two of my cutie pie friends!!! What a rush to gift a kindle book! 🤭
this has put my right in my feelings in all of the best ways. my top artist was taylor swift also, which was not surprising tbh, but i thought it would be hozier
Hozier is a worthy opponent for Ms. Swift! I'm kind of shocked he didn't make my top 5 artists but I was HEAVY into my girls this year (and Noah Kahan haha).
Jess, you made me tear up reading this. There is something beautiful and poignant about staying until the end and seeing how something turns out...even if it's bittersweet. Endlessly thankful to have your amazing books in my life and hope I get to hug you at a book event soon.
(Also, I didn't check my Spotify wrapped because my kids are still young enough that too many of their songs mess up my algorithm. I don't need everyone to know that we listened to Imagine Dragons on a loop)
I swear the main reason I got my son his own Spotify account (through the family plan) is because I didn't want him messing with my Wrapped! One year I had so many of his songs on my end of year playlist and it totally ruined the vibe 😂
yes to all of this! NYD is one of my top taylor songs so it being played in general is *a lot* not to mention at the last show :( ❤️🩹 happy holidays to you and thanks again for sharing 💓💓
I AM SOBBING AFTER READING THIS! It’s like you were in my head. I am extra emo about the “ITS BLUE” texts because I was actually in the stadium when she announced it and when she walked out during 1989 in a blue outfit I absolutely lost my marbles!!! I love how special this tour has been for so many people. It has healed me in ways I can’t even begin to describe. Thank you for this post! I absolutely loved it and shared it with my Swiftie book club!
You take your job of making me cry very seriously and I love you for it!! My top 0.005% of loml listeners stat just gave your yoyok stat a very teary fist-bump. Here’s to the start of an age🫶🏻
Ahhh! Reading this felt like I was reading my own diary entry. And oh man, how I have missed chatting with you!! "There's glitter on the floor after the party" was a gut punch of emotions. That final mash-up. That final show. Gracie's letter?!? And then as you did, looking at the life that has been lived these past two years. I don't know that my mind will fully comprehend this experience for a long time, if ever. And you and the eras tour will be forever connected for me. Hearing "Marjorie" live and then reading "you with a view" within a month of each other.... The healing that has occured during these two years is unmatched. Thank you for this post and for all of your words. Hope you're being kind to yourself. Happy holidays!
"the only enduring thing about it all is that you start over" OKAY!
the lesson of all lessons 😭

Can't wait to see you soon!
This really hit me right in the feels - in a good way. Appreciate having this perspective as we round into the last two weeks (!) of the year!
Bananas that the year is almost over!! It always makes me so reflective (and emo haha)

that means SO much to me, my friend. Thank you!! So happy for all of the ways the universe connected us 💕
Not me tearing up was I read this... Months later. The perfect little surprise to see your replies! I didn't even know that was a thing!!! Lol
how did it end? such a sad banger, but like taste!
"my beloved ghost and me, sitting in a tree, D-Y-I-N-G" like how does she even fathom coming up with this 😭 one of her top songs lyrically for SURE
it’s quite literally devastatingly beautiful and I’ll never forget how gagged I was on the first listen!
