I don’t know how it gets better than this, Taylor Nation.
The Fearless One played at the Houston Toyota Center last night, May 16. There’s an excellent review from the Houston Chronicle that says, “It’s to Swift’s credit that amid so much flash and sparkle, she never gets lost. Her mischievously sweet personality is what carries every moment, every song, every stage trick, from top to bottom.” You can also read more reviews at Culture Map Houston and the c.
Here at the Swift Agency, just a guy who thinks you shouldn’t be dancing in a storm because you’ll catch a cold, we’re glad to reveal that the classic song was Fearless. This time, instead of just mentioning it, let me tell you why I love this song.
This song is old school Taylor at her best. What makes Fearless so classic is exactly the opposite of pop. It’s a song about a perfect date, meant to be sang slowly and works even better acoustic. The song is not about dancing and doesn’t make you want to dance, but it does make you remember all those times you wanted to dance with that one person. The lyrics feel like raindrops on a windshield, you don’t notice them unless you’re really listening – and if you’re not listening then this song is not for you. The music is subtle yet enticing. It’s not the perfect song, but it comes really, really close.
Capture it, remember it. Thanks to kelanth462 for posting! Also, I’m sending a shoutout to @GenaGabrielle, just because.

Taylor Swift on New Girl: Who’s Elaine anyway?
(Source: FOX Networks)
Spoilers ahead, Taylor Nation!
Here at the Swift Agency, still a guy who writes about Taylor in his blog, we hope you watched the New Girl season finale. If you didn’t speak now… or forever be spoiled.
The Princess in Red’s cameo takes place just as Cece puts an end to her wedding after many sabotage attempts. The twist? The groom, Shivrang, then confesses his love for Elaine. And who’s Elaine anyway?
“Oh Shivy, I’ve loved you since the first grade!” says the Enchantress as she stands up. “And I’m so lonely that I just lie awake at night and write about you in my journal and I paint pictures of you on my easel.”
You have to read Max Greenfield’s fanboy confession on Vulture to understand how much respect T-Swizzle commanded on the set.

RED Tour Washington, DC: The Best Day with you, Tay

I know you were on my side even when I was wrong, Taylor Nation.
Here at the Swift Agency, still a guy who doesn’t know how the trees change in the fall, we’re a bit behind bringing you a blog from the RED Tour’s second and last concert at the Verizon Center in Washington, DC on Sunday, May 12.
You can find an actually really extensive review on the Washington Post and a some considerations on good and evil duality images on Yahoo! Music, but I really want to highlight the wildcard-secret-classic song that the Enchantress chose for the B Stage on Mother’s Day Sunday.
I couldn’t really have done a blog without a clip what is one the most beautiful and often underrated songs in the Sparkly Dressed’s repertoire: the very relevant and nostalgic The Best Day. The fact that Taylor played Never Grow Up on Saturday and The Best Day last night speaks volumes. It was like the perfect bookends of a love poem of mother and child. I’m very happy for the fans who were lucky enough to be there.
Here’s The Best Day, from Sunday, May 12.
And here’s Never Grow Up, from Saturday, May 11.
And that, as they say, it’s all she wrote… plus four albums more. Hope everyone had a great Mother’s Day weekend. Thanks to Sneha Kuchipudi and Christina Wilson for posting!
