@practicallyperfectfamily: The same day Taylor announced her new album, I was diagnosed with my chronic illness. My first day at the Cleveland Clinic was the day that album dropped (The Life of a Showgirl). I’ve listened to music during blood draws, in waiting rooms, and in all the in-between moments trying to find something steady when everything else felt out of control. Showing up online has been hard. When you can’t show up the way you used to, it’s scary. But I keep reminding myself that presence doesn’t always have to be loud…it can be quiet, honest, and real (and not everyone has to like it or understand it) And today, on a day when I felt like I couldn’t keep fighting, when the pain, exhaustion, and disappointment felt unbearable… I opened my phone to see she liked my post. ❤️ The @Taylor Swift It might seem small or silly, but lately it’s the small things that have kept me going. A song. A smile. A sign that maybe I’m still on the right path. If you’ve found this while you’re struggling, please know you are loved. ❤️ Hold on to the tiny moments… and let the music carry you through the in-between. “People haven’t always been there for me, but music always has.” — Taylor Swift 🎶 And thank you, Taylor, for showing up. #MissAmericana And to the people who might not understand why I recorded myself crying… I just wanted to remember this feeling, this moment. And if you have negative things to say, honestly? It’s actually romantic 😉 #taylorswift #swiftie #thelifeofashowgirl #taylornation @Taylor Nation

I saw someone say elsewhere "You don't understand the fandom of Taylor Swift because you've never needed her."

Sending you all the biggest hugs. Taylor has single-handedly ushered me through the loss of my mom, and having leukemia. She makes us feel things when we need to feel something other than what we are going through. 💖

I am close to the walk away point too. I don't know what illness you have but mine is cancer and a miserable 5 year long treatment only gets me 8% higher survival rate.
I would lose my absolute mind if Taylor liked my post, and def crying is a very valid response. we are going thru so much those feelings are always sitting right at the surface ready to spill over at the smallest thing and this is a HUGE thing. a lot of people are printing the notification and framing it and putting it on their wall. 🫶 if you have the spoons for that.

It’s never silly to make your own happiness and sometimes that comes in the form of a notification from our favorite singer. You have to take the wins where you can, babe. 🧡💚
