thought you'd be here by now.

My name is Madeline Rubicam and I have pink hair and a kind of weird, startling love of Taylor Swift. Whenever I feel lonely I watch Gilmore Girls and pretend Lorelai Gilmore is my mother. Also I am still actively pretending that I'm not going to college in the fall so it's best altogether if you just don't mention it. ★ ★ ★ If you don't like Peeta Mellark I don't care take your business elsewhere I mean it just get the hell out wishing star(s)

"Taylor Swift is a pop singer. But she really helped country music. When she hit, I was thinking, ‘Thank God Taylor’s out there to show people we’re not cheesy.’ Some people still think that country music is twangy and cheesy, and they pigeonhole us. But I thought if they’re looking for Taylor’s videos or songs, they might see or hear other people they like. If her fans are watching for her, they might like me too."

Beyonce is a classy lady. I feel for her, too. It’s not her fault at all, and her and Taylor did their thing” - Pink

“At least we got to see the worst haircut since 1984 try to steal the spotlight from lovely Taylor Swift” - Nathan Followill from Kings of Leon

Celebrities twitter-defending Taylor Swift 

"Of course, not everyone in the world is a Taylor Swift fan. Criticisms include: She’s a conformist stooge of the patriarchy (she’s now had two hits about defying fathers); she idolizes chastity (she’s coy about sex, but only the willful could miss the fucking in the new “Sparks Fly,” which includes the line “Gimme something that’ll haunt me when you’re not around”); and she sells girls corrupt and shallow fairy-tale notions of romance (one of the two fairy-tale songs on Fearless mocked a guy for trying to white-knight her, and the only mention of such things on Speak Now is “I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you”—note the tense). These gripes are shallow and gross, in that special way that things get gross when you cram shaded and living work through an ideological sieve like you’re mechanically separating chicken."

— Village Voice.

"People like to fixate on Taylor Swift’s youth, as if to say, yeah, she’s pretty good for her age. But that just begs a question: Where are all the older people who are supposedly making better pop records than Taylor Swift? There aren’t any."

— Rolling Stone.

“It’s crazy becasue it happened naturally,” he said. “It wasn’t like the label was like, ‘We need to get a Taylor Swift feature.’ It was really like she hit me up and invited me to come on her set, and I couldn’t make it because I wasn’t in Atlanta at the time, but she actually arranged for me to come to Dallas and she brought me out and I played her the song, she liked it and it naturally happened. That is an element that you don’t see too much, too often in the industry. So I’m glad it happened naturally like that.

“She hit me up and was like, ‘Hey! I’m in Atlanta,’” he continued. “I didn’t think she was going to like the song, but she loved it. It turned out tremendous.”

"We met in America, she’s very nice, yes,” a tongue-tied Styles said. “She is very talented,” he said, pausing to choose his words carefully. “She’s very nice… We’re friends."

"I’m down for a country wedding with a banjo and all. I’ll have Taylor Swift perform."

— Chloë Grace Moretz (via inastorminmybestdressed)

"Taylor deserves it. I don’t think there is anyone with half a brain that would say otherwise. She has done a lot for us in country music. We are lucky enough in country music to call her one of us."

@Miranda_Lambert: Just watched the video for “mine”. Taylor is a freaking great songwriter. Careless man’s careless daughter is a great line! Good job girl.

@Miranda_Lambert: Ooops careful daughter. Either way….I think she can turn a phrase better than most:)

@Miranda_Lambert: @taylorswift13 I mis-quoted ur lyrics on accident casuse I got excited. Your lyrics in “Mine” are great. I’m proud of u:)

@Miranda_Lambert: @Taylorswift13 also I’m still a huge fan of “cold as you”.

Today was another amazing day for my little sunshine. Nurse Karen came into the room and asked to speak to me. She told me Taylor swift was coming to the hospital and was coming to meet Heaven! She was one of the few that was chosen to meet her…and Heaven was so honored! She got herself cleaned up, asked to put in earrings and touched herself up with a tiny bit of makeup. It was so cute to see her perk up and this visit made her feel so special! Once she arrived, we were asked to sign a release, and we had to open all the blinds so her “people” were able to see her. Heaven sat for twenty minutes, so giddy with anticipation. we were not allowed to take photos but she said we can have hers in about a week. :) Her hair was beautiful and straight, dressed in a grey sweater dress…absolutely beautiful and lovely girl inside and out! Heaven said she loved her shoes. Heaven and her had the nicest conversation about chorus…Heaven told her how she was switched to an alto…Taylor said that she was always an alto…its not bad to be an alto! We all talked about how they are from Reading Pa, and that she usually doesn’t get to be home much. Usually only a day..and is now residing in Nashville. Taylor asked how long we had been here. She said it must be very hard to be away from our family. We told her how Tayven had a crush on her….and she sent a message for Heaven to tell Tayven she said hello!Taylors father was with her and was wonderful too! Heaven asked to sing Taylor a song….but she wanted to sing it to just her…so we all left the room except Heaven and Taylor, and her photographer.Heaven sang Taylor the Happy birthday song (like her favorite commercial by the american cancer society)…. because Taylor”s birthday is next week! we came back into Heavens room and Heaven was beaming ear to ear…she said”Taylor says I have an amazing voice.” Taylor crawled next to Heaven in her bed and took pictures with her. And Heaven gave her a school picture. They tallked about many things, and Taylor really made Heaven feel so special…and she was so genuinely touched too by their meeting. It was the most calming meeting…she was such a down home, really kind, person. It was like Heaven had known her for an eternity. When she was about to leave, Heaven says, “If you ever need a backup singer, just give me a call!” And everyone was laughing as Heaven grinned at her. Amazing, amazing lovely young woman Taylor is. Heaven said she wished she never had to leave. A moment we will never forget. Thank you to Taylor and her Dad…and to nurse Karen! Honored to have met such a beautiful family-Heaven’s mom (x)

"And I think Taylor Swift is just an exemplary young lady. It’s kind of interesting to see what a profound songwriter she is. I don’t even think anyone has realized, the long term is going to be the bigger revelation. It’s incredible how quickly she writes songs. We’ve hung out a couple times, we live near each other in Nashville."

— Reese Witherspoon.

“If you have access to Facebook, I hope you can visit Brooke’s Blossoms page and see a photo there. I posted one of when the singer Taylor Swift came to the RMH and before Brooke would let her have a hug, she first wanted Taylor to be aware of the needle in her chest port. It was a moment that caught everyone off guard, including Taylor I think, and one of the employees of the RMH snapped a photo of the moment. It is an emotional picture for me because I know how intimate Brooke is about her port, and I am not sure Taylor Swift expected to see it either. It is a compassionate photo full of innocence in the unexpected.” -Brooke’s mom. 

"She basically called up, said she wanted to meet the kids and take pictures, but NO publicity about it. Took pics and signed autograph for every single kid who wanted. Broke out the guitar, sang about 6-7 songs and quietly left"

— Robbie Bryan talking about Taylor visiting RMH (via thankyoutayloralisonswift)

"We will have a new Taylor album in October. The record is genius. I can’t wait for the fans to hear it."

Brad Paisley says Taylor Swift has never been recognized by the CMA for songwriting  

thatswhatbradpaisleysaid:

Brad Paisley thinks Swift has been unfairly overlooked as a songwriter among the industry voters who make up the CMA. He points out that most of the voters are in their 30s and 40s, and older.

But this year’s nomination could be a breakthrough with her song, “Mean.” Paisley says “there’s no 18-year-old in the world that you talk to who doesn’t relate to some of her lyrics.
