To you, beauty, who has been a true pal all these years, more generous and loving than you ever need to be, endlessly inspiring and full of such quick-witted humor the wine sometimes sneaks out my nose. You’re the absolute realest—the brightest of stars who still passes along books you love and remembers to call on my birthday. My whole heart to you, 12/13 and always! HAPPY THIRTAY and cheers to your best year yet! I love you more than words!
In all the years I’ve known you, T, this is the first I haven’t seen you face to face. I don’t have the words to tell you how completely that blows (but you know). Since the time I last squeezed you, you have, both predictably and astonishingly, remained the beautiful artist and friend you’ve always been…and MORE. More courageous, more prolific, more grounded, more curious, more creative (more Grammy noms!), more of every kind of good thing ever…ever more. ❤️Happy (13 backward) birthday, sis. Love you to the moon (&2️⃣🪐).
When I say I love this woman, I don’t think that does the truth even the remotest justice. When I say this record is the stunningly evocative, gorgeously transportive, conceptually brilliant, aurally satisfying, lyrically astonishing, powerfully feminist piece of art I absolutely NEEDED today—I still think my description falls short. If anyone needs me for a while, I’ll just be over here in my headphones. ❤️ #folklore
By tonight, there’ll be a new host, a new guest and new ridiculousness to crack up about. But I, for one, am still pretty cloud niney over this magical time we had last week.
We’re on TV! Tell me who’s watching with you, and also your concert snack of choice! (I’ll be eating popcorn…in the arms of my LOVER😍) #cityoflover #taylorswiftcityoflover
I FINISHED! In more time than I’d hoped to, in PAIN, in KT tape, in a hip brace, inJURED. In just over 8 weeks since I hatched this plan and started running, in waning daylight, in step with my brother (without whose badassery, today would never have been). In near tears with overwhelming gratitude for a body that would DO this, a mindset that believed it could and a community of real, live ANGELS, whose encouragement was an ever present lift. TWENTY*SIX*POINT*TWO! There is a zero percent chance that I’ll be able to walk tomorrow (but at least THIS ‘thon I didn’t have to head straight to LAX from the finish line to put on 6” heels and play a show in Vegas the same night!) and today (TODAY!)

When this dreadful pandemic is finally behind us, let’s try real hard not to forget that time in 2020, when Mother Nature sent us all to our rooms to think about what we’d done. Happy Earth Day, lovelies. #honoryourmother

Where was the BEST trip you’ve ever taken??? I know, this is absolutely an unfair question. Trips are wonderful for so many different reasons. And besides, how can you even compare your swanky bachelorette weekend in Palm Springs to your ghetto, teen girlfriends getaway in Rosarito?! I👏🏽AM👏🏽SO👏🏽THANKFUL👏🏽 to have seen most of these United States and right around 40 or so countries outside it. I’ll never forget night swimming in Cuba, wine tasting in France, black sands in New Zealand or Cristo in Brazil…every single trip holds a forever piece of my heart. Today, though, I’m reminiscing on this moment, one year ago—poolside in Dubai as the sun began it’s slow (then speedy) descent beyond the Gulf. Near perfection.✨Tell me about YOUR favorite vacay! OR where you dream of heading off to next!
Spent a few days with some quality gentlemen in a happy place. Where’s your happy place?
If you could go anywhere, leaving tonight—where would it be??? Oh, me? I’m good.
L’chaim. What’chall drinkin?
FELT. SO. GOOD. Thanks @erichutchinson for letting me hop in the sandbox on this absolute bop, @tj_springer for your seamless wizardry, and @rogerkeygrip and @sannaallsopp for the dope set up.
I don’t know who (else) needs to hear this but, everything is going to be alright. #secretbeach 📷 @ana_fraser
Ever just feel like the whole roof is caving in? We’ve certainly all been there. Some of us are there right now. But you know what? 100% of us have made it through 100% of our absolute worst days. That’s a thing I felt like saying today just in case someone out there could use the reminder.❤️
There’s no such thing as a private beach in Barbados…but days like this, it sure feels that way.
*sound on* Sometimes it rains in Barbados.
For some of us, it’s easier than for others but for most of us, it’s still not that easy. So here’s just a little shout out to everyone doing their parts—staying in when you think you might go crazy, risking exposure to do necessary work, stocking our groceries, filling our ‘scrips, serving our neighbors and caring for our sick. None of us can do everything, but all of us can do SOMETHING. Thank you for doing everything YOU can. ❤️
How about a little unsolicited advice? Stand tall, wear a crown, be sweet on the inside, you are a pineapple. 🍍 Who’s got their crowns on?!
*sound on* We were ready for a change of scene. I’m pleased with the scene we selected.
