Been dying to get this off our chest: Lavender Haze music video out tonight at midnight. 💜
Anti-Hero is Taylor’s longest-leading number 1 song EVER on the Billboard Hot 100… 🤯 Can’t wait to lose our voices screaming it at Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour in 2 months!
I did something to help it I think
Kind of upset that I couldn’t get floor for #TSEras after TM didn’t recognize me as a verified fan?? Started listening at Tim McGraw and Fifteen, poor enough to go to RED and moved up through 1989, Rep, and Loverfest but not ERAs?? Ugh I know there are worst things in the world. Would’ve been the best birthday present but all I can do is complain on the internet and buy the markup from scalpers. @taylorswift @taylornation
Y O U ARE N O T READY FOR THIS!!
Remember when @taylorswift hid words in OOTW?
Taylor’s done it again!
I found these in CARDIGAN - some may be a a stretch but I am definitely seeing a lot of it in the music video. Clearly, she is saying “a million times ‘YES’”!! She started the album with “I” and ends it in “DO”
@peterluvstay mentioned “In ‘Mine’ MV, she gets engaged in a lake”.
Very coincidental. And knowing Taylor, its very likely these are intentional. HOLY COW.
When she comes out of the piano, it says “MR AND MRS SOON” !!!! Had to replay so many times. The two O’s are like the rings symbol!
THE BEST ONE YET:
It’s a Love Story, Baby just say…YES
Unrelated to marriage, remember Taylor’s alternate ego? “no it’s becky” - aka Rebekah - aka Betty. “ Harkness was a gifted composer. She studied under Frederick Werle and Nadia Boulanger and wrote over 100 different compositions in her lifetime, some of which were performed at Carnegie Hall.” (Daily Mail)
I’ll leave you with how perfect that parallel is.
I’m an adult, but not like a real adult
Day 2 was so goooood. On to the next! #coachella (at Coachella 2016)

These two words generally get thrown around for “waiter” or “waitress”, and in many cases they’re considered interchangeable, although regional.
The real origin of the word camarero/a has to do with the word la cámara which in modern Spanish is “camera”, but also is “chamber”. The word itself comes from la cama “bed”, so la cámara is sometimes closer to “bedchamber”.
In older Spanish, the nobility had a camarero/a which meant “chamberlain” or “chambermaid”… something closer to the British ideas of a “valet” or “lady’s maid”. The camarero/a not only tidied up their rooms, but also helped them put on and take off their clothes, especially for women. That’s why many times the buttons on a woman’s shirt or blouse are on the left side and not the right; because it made it easier for the usually right-handed camarera or maid to take on or take off.
In the contexts of a feudal Spain, the camarero mayor or “greater chamberlain” to a lord or king also acted as something of an assistant or manager, informing them when they had meetings or who was going to visit them. In this sense, the camarero/a was always “waiting on” their charge.
The origin of mesero/a is much simpler, where la mesa means “table”, so a mesero/a was someone who was bringing things to and from the table, setting the table, clearing the table, and cleaning the table.
You may also hear the term mesonero/a which is related to el mesón (lit. “large table”) which is another term for an “inn”, and potentially was used for people who had very large dining tables. In the strictest sense of the word, it meant someone who worked at an inn/tavern, or for someone entertaining a lot of guests, and what that entailed. That’s why mesonero/a can be translated as “waiter” or potentially “hostelry worker / worker at an inn, hotel, tavern” and so on.
Some regions use mesero/a (which is very common in Latin America), and some continue to use camarero/a.
The meaning is more or less understood, though there are some who would hear camarero/a in a modern setting, and think of the hotel maids who clean your room when you leave.
In some places in South America you may also hear the term mozo/a… this is a word that’s been in Spanish since the Medieval period and even before, where mozo/a had meant “page” or “apprentice” or “someone in service”, most often in lower rank than the butler or mayordomo. Argentina, Peru, and a few others favor mozo/a over the other two terms.
