Why are you bringing up Cruel Summer?
I want you to sing this song for me at the beach.
Oh? You want me to add it to the set list?
Yes, please.
Thought you said Taylor was sacred? Too sacred to play in front of our friends?
Well… I changed my mind. Of all her songs, this one can be played in front of friends at the beach, don’t you think?
Sure. I mean, I don’t mind, any Taylor song is easy for me to play.
Well… maybe there’s more Taylor songs then.
Okay, which ones?
- King of My Heart (but change the lyrics to QUEEN when you sing it to me!)
- Daylight
- Timeless (Taylor’s version)
- Karma (Ice Spice version)
- Willow
- The Alchemy
- Invisible String
Okay, I think that’s about it…?
That’s a pretty solid list…
Right?! It just took me 5 minutes to think of it and type out (LOL)… there’s probably more but I think that’s PLENTY for a beach set list.
Are these your favourite Taylor Swift songs?
My favourites change depending on my mood. I can say some of the songs are in my personal Top 10, for sure.
Are you like… a Mega Fan of Taylor Swift?
Well, if you’re going by the definitions I’ve previously typed out? Yes? I guess? I have some merch of hers…
How much merch of hers do you BUY!?!!?
I’m keeping that to myself! I’m not talking about that on a PUBLIC BLOG.
HOW MUCH TAYLOR SWIFT MERCH DO YOU HAVE?!??!?!
Not that much! It’s not like I have any vinyls.
You don’t have Taylor’s vinyls?
No…
Do you want Taylor’s vinyls?
Well, it’s not like I have a record player, either. It doesn’t really fit at my parents’ house. Maybe in the future, I’d like to have a music room or something like that. Or display her vinyls in a nice living space. But I’m not living like that right now.
So in the future, you’d like to have a collection of Taylor’s vinyls? And a record player?
(Smiling) Are you going to buy them for me?
(Devilish grin) I might be… thinking about it… would it make you cringe?
No, it wouldn’t make me cringe…
Oh? So it would make you smile?
(Sigh) If you’re going to set aside time out of your busy schedule to somehow organise the ordering, arranging, and displaying of Taylor Swift’s discography on vinyl and also get a record player that suits the vibe… and it’s all done by you — yourself — not some interior designer — yes, sure, I would feel impressed. I would feel like, “This man… really knows me?!” Like he CARES enough to get that ORGANISED…
Am I allowed to consult an interior designer?
Yes, you’re allowed to get an interior designer’s opinions but then the final touches are done by you, by hand. That would be… very heartening for me.
(Smiling) So when you come over to OUR place, you’ll see Taylor’s vinyls… and we can even play them and listen to them together!
Sure, that’d be nice… I’ll like that…
It’ll be like a TAYLOR SWIFT SHRINE… we’ll WORSHIP Taylor’s music!!!
(Laughing) Okay, sure, Taylor Swift shrine… with candles and essential oils…
And rose petals… (devilish grin)
Are you trying to SEDUCE me with TAYLOR SWIFT?!
(Nodding) (Smiling)
Okay, fine, it’ll probably work. Not gonna lie… (LOL)
