BtDecember's post reminded me of S&S(Safe&Sound), then think about Taylor's 4S instagram, is it possible that it's the hint to The Giver song---another S&S? What do you guys think? I assume one of these 2 S begins with Su.... It's just my crazy thought.

Though he rose to prominence in England through relentless touring and interesting collaborations with hip-hop-related grime artists, in America he can thank one woman for his high profile: Taylor Swift. In 2012, the pair co-wrote "Everything Has Changed," a duet that, with its mutually encouraging catchphrase of*I just want to know you better now,*might be considered the contemporary anthem of romantic friendship. Then they proceeded to live out that song: touring together, exchanging funny little gifts and leaked video texts, posing arm in arm and constantly assuring the world that they could be this close and remain only friends. Whether Sheeran and Swift have at some point shared an Amsterdam-style magic night really doesn't matter; they've defined their love as gloriously platonic and offered it as an example to their young fans of how men and women — even attractive celebrities — can share a kind of love that's open-ended and long-term.
In 2014, this isn't just a cute celebrity pairing; it's a powerful statement about gender equality and respect for limits. This is crucial, especially for the tween and teen fans of Sheeran and Swift. Recently the idea of romantic friendship has been deeply troubled by rhetoric surrounding the "friend zone," a social space that discussions among young men identify as where "nice guys" go to sexually die.Popularized*on the aptly-named sitcom*Friends*to describe heartsick Ross's long pursuit of elusive Rachel, in the online world "friend zone" has evolved into a meme mostly employed by young men furious at women they perceived as sexually withholding. As many feminist critics have explained, the current definition of the "friend zone" is solidly link to*male entitlement*and the kind of limit-pushing that feeds rape culture; as one Twitter commentator*succinctly put it,*Friendzoning is bulls—- because girls are not machines that you put Kindness Coins into until sex falls out.
Swift, "who, me?" revolutionary that she is, has shown in her relationship with Sheeran that the friend zone can be a safe and sustaining place for women and men.*

I love their friendship soooo much, and I think Summertime Ball 2013 in London was very important for their friendship (maybe a good turning point, I think). Now, I hope their excellent friendship last forever.
Better Than Revenge. It never hit me like this until a few minutes ago. The production when she sings the 'Soon she's gonna find stealing other people's toys on the playground won't make you many friends' line.
This line is holy
Do you still feel like you know what you're doing
Cause I don't think you do
Do you still feel like you know what you're doing
I don't think you do
Don't think you do
Lets hear the applause
Come on show me how much better you are
See you deserve some applause
Cause you're so much better
