Taylor Swift has been through a lot.
Her literal reputation issues (cue: Kim and Kanye’s secret recording) led her to write an album called Reputation, for which she toured fully packed stadiums, decked out in dark themes interspersed with serpents. Because, look, the old Taylor can’t come to the phone right now…
She’s too busy celebrating her massive success by being reborn as Drunk Taylor. Before all of the Reputation shenanigans went down, though, Taylor basically served us a home-grown, all-American, good-girl persona. We’d never even seen girlfriend drunk or high or messed up in any way.
In fact, if we’re honest, we all sort of found her a bit annoying (sorry) because she was always so put together, tidy, and innocent.
Let’s be real. Taylor drinks just like the rest of us.
From “drinking beer out of plastic cups” in King of My Heart,” to “spilling wine in the bathtub,” in her very sexy track “Dress,” you might be surprised to learn 12 out of the 15 songs on her last album referenced alcohol.
Luckily, we now know for sure that Taylor can get down just like the rest of us, as evidenced by the magical #DrunkTaylor video that’s been galloping all across the internet like an infamous unicorn:

In the video, we see Taylor partying in a room on Saturday in Los Angeles at Beauty & Essex after receiving her numerous her VMA nominations for “You Need To Calm Down.” Along with a bunch of other people — including Laverne Cox, Troye Sivan, Hayley Kiyoko, the HAIM sisters, and Brendon Urie — Taylor is seen dancing to her own song, mouthing the words while doing all sorts of #DrunkTaylor dance moves.

Some Swifties admitted they would voluntarily lose a limb to party with TSwift.

I mean, have you ever been drunk enough to earn your own hashtag??

But the thing we love the most about drunk Taylor is that — whether or not she’s playing it up for the camera — she’s celebrating her successes, surrounded by friends, and genuinely exuding a true happiness. And that’s a beautiful thing!

“We had a really good time, we had a blast! We were singing and dancing. Taylor wasn’t drunk, I know there was a hashtag, and she wasn’t drunk. We were just having a blast,” Cox said on KTLA 5.

In the essay, which came out in March this year, we can see how far she’s come from pre-Reputation era Taylor. You know, before the old Taylor died. In it, she writes:
I’m also blocking out anyone who might feel the need to tell me to “go die in a hole ho” while I’m having my coffee at nine in the morning. I think it’s healthy for your self-esteem to need less internet praise to appease it, especially when three comments down you could unwittingly see someone telling you that you look like a weasel that got hit by a truck and stitched back together by a drunk taxidermist. An actual comment I received once.

In the end, we think it’s so important that Taylor is embracing life, having fun, and feeling better about herself. And hey — “You Need To Calm Down” is a great song with an important message, one the world desperately needs to hear about these days.
