listening to other people’s opinions on my career has gotten me absolutely nowhere so I will officially be returning to doing whatever the actual fuck I want

Back in middle school when the phonebook was a thing, my friends dad had to make their number unlisted because he had the same name as the local weatherman and people got REAL mad when he got it wrong and would call leaving threatening voicemails. So maybe he’s used to it 😂
Speaking for the songwriting community, all of this discourse is so sad and makes us feel misunderstood. The point of art is that it captures fleeting moments in everlasting form. How many times did Da Vinci meet Mona Lisa?
@emmacrochets
these are the same girls who say “I don’t thrift cause it takes away from people who need it” like girlies the charity shops are to RAISE MONEY FOR CHARITY & there’s literally never going to be a shortage of clothes on this planet! Thrift stores send BACK to landfills bc of this
Miss Americana has me ready to throw hands at anyone who is ever mean to Taylor Swift ever again. I don’t care that I don’t know how to fight. They’re cyber bullies, they probably don’t either
Today I lost my sister to a really long battle with addiction. It really is a disease and it is so difficult to overcome. She just couldn’t beat it. Please hug your loved ones and be patient with people who are fighting their demons. Anger never helps but love does.
I was once drunk and immature enough to jump 30 feet off a pier into the ocean, but I’ve never been drunk enough to say a racial slur. Because alcohol and immaturity doesn’t make you do that. Racism does. Fuck this shit
I just met

@jasonisbell
’s 4 year old daughter. She was handing out candy to everyone backstage. Our exchange is as follows:
Me: this is a really good way to make friends
Her: it’s a really good way to get attention
I was Taylor Swift’s stand-in for a music video and didn’t know it was her’s til I got there. I walked around the corner and she goes “you must be Kalie! You have such beautiful eyes!” like girly must’ve looked at the cast list before???? I had to go to the bathroom and cry
Despite being quarantined (except for a handful of trips for groceries) for three weeks, I managed to contract COVID 19. I'm feeling significantly better, but it's proof how dangerous and contagious this is. It's endlessly frustrating to see people not taking this seriously.
“why did you sign to an NYC label if you’re a cOuNtRy ArTiSt” well prob cause I’ve talked with every major label in Nashville minimum of 3x and they’ve all told me I “wasn’t ready” so I found someone who thought I was 🤷🏼 idk might drop a song about it
me: so basically daylight saving time is just a ploy by big pharma to give everyone seasonal depression and I mean honestly isn’t time just a human construct anyway
guy at bar: I think I see my friends
On a scale of 1 to Katy Perry sending Taylor Swift an *actual* olive branch how extra are you? (I’m just mad I didn’t think of this first @ girls who called me period head in high school)
I’m bawling my eyes out. A girl from Nashville with a guitar and story can do anything- no matter what country radio says. Congratulations

This will sound silly but Marie Kondo helped me with my ED recovery when I got rid of all my “skinny clothes” that I wanted to fit back into. Every time I looked at them I felt like shit. They brought zero joy. Now all my clothes fit and I feel so much better w/o those reminders
Instagram is down, I just had my second flat tire in 24 hours, my ex boyfriend keeps texting me, and we are only halfway through Mercury being in retrograde. Jesus take the wheel
Last night a girl complimented me on my jacket and a guy was trying to hit on her so he said he’d Venmo me $100 for it and I’ve never ripped off a $15 jacket faster in my life lmao god provides ✨
I am so bored of talking about this shit. How are we ever supposed to get our songs on the radio when mathematically there are fewer slots per hour? Why are y’all so afraid of vaginas? You came out of one
MOM I’M MAKING MY OPRY DEBUT! So in love with life. So in love with country music. Can’t wait to stand in the circle for the first time on 3/31!
@opry
(ps I cried typing this too okay bye)
My optometrist yesterday started talking to me about Taylor Swift and went on a full ass rant about how she doesn’t deserve $14 million a show like *insert list of 4 male artists* do and y’all I was PISSED. I would’ve thrown hands if he didn’t have machinery aimed at my eye
Remember, if you're losing followers and friends over this, it says much more about them than you. It's happening to me as we speak. This is a hill worth dying on.
@nowthisnews
If everyone actively chose to be there, I think it’s hilarious and they probably hadn’t done something like that in decades. This feels like another layer of infantilization of the elderly 🙄
I know some of you think you’re above the panic/quarantining/social distancing and that’s great, love that for you, but if this doesn’t get contained, myself and a shit ton of other people will continue to be out of a job. I don’t know why that isn’t adding up for y’all.
I’m so supportive of Taylor being in her athlete era because obviously she’s smarter than any man she’s ever dated but a least an athlete will know that
dudes on here are like “ugh Taylor you dated for three months, get over it” like they arent still sending fire emojis on Instagram to a girl they cheated on freshman year of high school 🙄
Okay I do understand the necessity of hunting but WHY would you put any sort of dead ANYTHING in your dating profile? Like damn, girls are just trying to see if you’re chill or not and BAM a cute lil deer with a mortal head wound... 😭 I can’t even
@Alex_Cameron
They used screenshots and the *entire* video (not through an Instagram widget so I didn’t get the views) I shot myself of a song dedicated to my sister after she passed. So shitty. Any idea what I should charge them if I pursue it?
After much internal debate over the past few weeks in an attempt to look past the haze that is nostalgia, my twelve personalities and I have come to the conclusion that Lover is Taylor Swift’s best album to date. We will be taking no further questions at this time.
Several media outlets called me an "artist to watch in 2020", but they didn't specify what they were watching *for*. Could be success, could be new music, could be a mental breakdown. Context is important
I once wore glasses to a bar and had a 50 year old man offer to be my sugar daddy because he refused to believe I wasn't
@KatTimpf
. I went with it and said "Fox pays me more than you could"... but I did take a picture with him and his friends to be nice.
Can you imagine being one of those people who comment on everything an artist does saying “that’s not country”? Where do you get all your free time? Can I borrow some? Do you have hobbies? Is that your hobby? Please explain
The Chicks and Eric Church make me proud to be part of country music. Make the good real loud. And make the bad leave town with their tail between their legs.
Friendly reminder that if he’s not texting you back he ain’t shit and one day you’ll find someone whose heart lights up when they see your name on their phone. Remember that. Wait for that.
It’s okay if you don’t have a boyfriend on Valentine’s Day because that means you also don’t have a boyfriend on Super Bowl Sunday and then you don’t have to watch it
I wonder if the people who are pissed about modern black music (rap, trap beats, etc) influencing country music trends know that the banjo came from Africa
I swear to God, whenever someone comes after me for swearing on the Internet, I’ll go to their profile and there’s ALWAYS something racist/homophobic/sexist on it. You know what’s worse than saying asshole? Being one
As a Tennessean, it makes me sick that there are monuments standing in our state that celebrate racist historical figures who did evil things. Edward Carmack and Nathan Bedford Forrest were DESPICABLE figures in our state history and should be treated as such.
Q: who gets a standing ovation on their first song opening for
@JasonIsbell
at the Ryman?
A:
@MickeyGuyton
Q: who gets THREE MORE after?
A: Mickey freaking Guyton!!!!!
@wavyemma
Glossier You. It’s their only fragrance & it’s so light and airy but with a scent that lasts. Smells a little different on everyone. Similar vibe to Bubble Bath by Margiela but with woodsy undertones (as well as pink pepper and amber)
I hate when I send a tipsy “hi what are u doing :))))” text to a boy and they don’t respond until the next day like “omg sorry I was sleeping what did you need” like bitch nothing I was a different person yesterday I have sobered up and GROWN
Had a guy tell me today that he doesn’t want to hear women complain about unfair treatment because we get free drinks and men don’t. I’m so tired of that argument. I’d rather walk into a boardroom and get what I want than a bar.
Okay I’m sorry but making a new girl best friend is so much better than a new boyfriend because you can skip right to the sweatpants/pizza/Netflix stage of the relationship and double text them as much as you want
nobody:
me, wine drunk, standing on a table: we as a SOCIETY need to collectively start acknowledging that Carly Rae Jepsen has never stopped serving bops since the ground breaking anthem Call Me Maybe (2011). She deserves our respect because she is an ICON and we have failed her
