I’m now in my 50’s and every time I switch a decade older I have to have the talk with myself, bodies change …. babies, eating habits, illness, jobs and just life in general and you know what it’s a privilege to be able to get older.. no one cares as everyone really is just looking at themselves.. and we are all bloody lovely 🥰 xxxxxx
I loved your very nature-y footage at the beginning of the video. It’s lovely to see what variety of flower and leaf is coming out on the trees, bushes and plants.
you’re my favorite YT creator and Taylor is my favorite artist so the little TTPD content made me so happy ☺️🤍🫶🏼 the Prophecy is hands down my favorite from the anthology.
Im really liking Taylor's new album and like you, Folklore is my favourite. It was actually the first of her albums I listened to all of. Was just a general fan before that, now I love her! Glad you went ahead and posted this vlog, enjoyed it as usual ❤
Same, I never really listened before folklore. I think that's some of the criticism she's receiving now though because this album feels like folklore and evermore. So I've heard anyway, I can't bring myself to listen to it 😂
What you said from around 15:00… that was so beautiful to watch you interrupt your thought processes. I know how hard it is to do that especially with body image stuff 🫶🏼
I’d never listened to TSswifts music until I saw her on NPR Tiny Desk Concerts. I was impressed. I think music can be special to someone at a particular time and place in their lives. It conjures up so many emotions, memories….listen to the music that brings you joy and always listen to new artists ❤
The too good to go bags are so good! I picked one up from a cafe today and got Some cakes and sandwiches- I freeze them and get them out of toasties later on when I don’t want to think of making lunch for work
The garden is so beautiful. Love hearing the birds singing. You’re beautiful as always even though you’re not feeling well, I hope you get better soon. Whether it’s a short video or long, it’s always worth watching 🤗 Thank you M:)
I love the too good to go app when I travel. You always need to grab food and eat and this way you get it a lot cheaper and save food waste. Although once I went to Costa in the middle of the day and it was just food they were selling regularly.
I hope you are feeling better! I love Florence & the Machine, and really love Aurora especially her version of The Seed that was performed in the forest for her Haik Concert.
Your talking about your body imperfections makes me remember how I was when I was your age. Now about to turn 60, I have the bumps and lumps and I’m proud of them. Because I know I have never been perfect. Having babies also change your body. The ideal body does not exist.
Have you heard of Olio app? Alex may like it. It’s free food that has to be collected but it helps prevent food waste. Loved yoir video but missed the longer ones. Hope you are feeling better x
Listen……… Alex giving us his view on Taylor Swift and the album was giving me metaphors for life - highlight of the vlog for me “Take a break and recharge” 🙌🏾🙌🏾🤣🤣
Alex raises a good question, how long should you leave it between albums? I come from the kpop world, where they release an album, an EP, and a japanese album every year 😂 I think normally artists drip feed music, then drop the album, so i can understand why its so jarring for Taylor to release 31 new songs in one go.
There was nothing wrong with that outfit you did jobs in you looked absolutely fine so I’m glad you kept it on… keep walking through those doors good for you!!
I'm not particularly a Taylor Swift fan but I do think that she is a clever girl, well woman now. She can do what she likes music wise I think and probably pick up new fans. Longer term fans mightn't like what she is doing now, but she is also not a teenager now. She has grown and her fans will too.
LOVE all your videos!!!😁💕 Think you might be getting too many oxalates?… check out Sally Norton!!! Take good care of each other!!! (Especially loved the flowers& the closing music!)💕love from Minnesota USA!!!
You are right. Nobody cares. As women are our own worst critics. We need to love ourselves first before we can love others. It took most of my life to learn that. Maddy you are beautiful inside and out. I love Indian food especially curry. I hope your samosas were good. I like some Taylor Swift songs. She has more talent in 1 finger than anyone except Billie English. I like the longer vlogs. Flowers in beginning were gorgeous. Enjoy your week
Totally agree with you, Madeleine! This is Taylor's art and she's writing constantly anyway - why not release it when millions people are ready and eager to consume it! Alex, she wouldn't be putting out all the re-recordings if she didn't have to. Alas, she had no other option to own her music because they were sold out from under her, despite her offering to pay the same price.. for her own music. We wouldn't say to RUclipsrs like yourselves, "go away and recharge", "low quality", just because we don't prefer a few vlogs. This is your way of using your creativity, your way of expressing yourselves, your way of processing (not to mention, your career). She has said time and time again, writing is how she processes her life experiences and manages her mental health. You can choose to just not consume it if it isn't of interest to you. There's no need to direct someone else how to manage their art and career. :)
I appreciate all the ballads on Taylor's new album but as much as I would like to I just cannot find myself wanting to go back to it. I am missing those bangers like from Midnights for example 😢. This record for me is a tad boring and lots of songs are similar to each other. I can see people love it and listen all the time but on the other side there are critics' reviews that are not full of applaud.
I think maybe that’s why Taylor has such a huge array of fans, because her albums do vary a lot. I love all her music but tend to love the more emo albums haha. I liked Midnights but it wasn’t my fave, but this album, Folklore and Evermore are just dreamy to me. And of course 1989 because I grew up with that in my early twenties. But I can totally see why some people wouldn’t vibe with this album. Maybe give it another listen though because honestly with each listen it gets better for me!
@@MadeleineOlivia I agree probably need more listen! I did like Folklore and Evermore too just had a feeling songs there were more varied. Down bad and black dog I also liked, the lyrics on black dog really hit hard in the post breakup department! Btw. Would you mind doing a short chat in one of the videos about your impressions on the electric car you guys have? General stuff like overall impressions, mile range, charging needs on average and if you charge at home or around the city etc. In my household we are entering an electric car era very soon so was curious about it. We even tested the latest electric Volvo, which I think you guys have one of the earlier models of.
Taylor Swift had to rewrite all of her music because she lost her catalog of music thru a secret bidding war with a music producer. So she’s trying to rebuild her catalog $$$ and she changed up her old songs just enough to reclaim and make the old catalog worthless to the person who outbid her
Out of interest not a criticism- would bhajis and samosas labelled veggie not contain egg and possibly milk? Most bhajis are bound with egg unless specifically stated that they are vegan. I'm vegan myself and I don't worry about eating foods that are made in factories or shops that also have non vegan ingredients but I'm really wary when things are from an Indian and labelled veggie because they usually contain eggs and or milk and when I've asked if they are vegan I've often been told yes because they've not understood the nuance untill I've explained it means not just fish and meat.
@@MadeleineOlivia it’s that tiktok of what non tswift fans think tswift sounds like. I just don’t like the lyricism at all. It sounds so contrived and unoriginal. But I am glad that fans have a place to get together to enjoy her music. Like the cultural impact she’s had for people and their sense of community is nice and I get it. I just personally don’t enjoy her music.
I agree with Alex - too much music too low quality!!!! In my opinion Beyoncé, Taylor, Ariana ec. are sooooo overrated - realy bad music , the songs sounds the same. On the stage is show not music happening.
Alex's opinion of the too much music...no one is forcing you to listen to it, so why are people bothered? And would just point out that if it were a man producing this much, no one would bat an eye. A man would be praised for his work ethic.
Ah it makes me sad that you were worried about wearing shorts, you're perfectly lovely but understand the self-conscious habit, especially appearing online. Glad you carried on, we need more normalcy!! I get more obsessed with TTPD every listen!!! 'How did it end?' just makes me tear up for her, I can't imagine feeling so broken and then compounding that by millions knowing when word gets out your heartbreak becomes tabloid fodder 😢 there are some breathtaking lines on this album.
There are too many good songs on this new Taylor Swift album that are too good!! I'm slowly listening to it for the fourth time and it's so hard to rank!! Also Folklore 🤍 is one of my 🔝 3 albums of hers I'm glad you gave it the praise it deserves!!

Exactly! What a privilege we have to get older. Our bodies should be cherished for what they provide for us, not how they look on the outside

It’s taken years but I’m getting there!

Lol i will be 64 this month and recently just turned into a Swiftie. I love her and love how she writes her songs for her therapy. Loved this vlog.
The too good to go bags are so good! I picked one up from a cafe today and got Some cakes and sandwiches- I freeze them and get them out of toasties later on when I don’t want to think of making lunch for work
Alex cracks me up 😂💕
The garden is so beautiful. Love hearing the birds singing.
You’re beautiful as always even though you’re not feeling well, I hope you get better soon.
Whether it’s a short video or long, it’s always worth watching 🤗
Thank you
M:)
Alex could be an audiobook narrator (or a voice over artist) with that voice of his 😂
I agree!!
Mags we love you the way you are. Gives us encouragement to be ourselves.
The opening for this video is so stunning!! 😮
You look so good in shorts! Who gives a flying flap what anyone else thinks, life is too short not to get your pins out
Beautiful intro.you look so rested after your colds.😄🎉
I’m obsessed with her Fortnight song with Post Malone. It’s so chill ❤
Omg I totally agree with Alex about the fact that Taylor should have separated some wheat from the chaff when it comes to TTPD
I love the too good to go app when I travel. You always need to grab food and eat and this way you get it a lot cheaper and save food waste. Although once I went to Costa in the middle of the day and it was just food they were selling regularly.
That is genius for travel! And also exciting as you can experience new places!
I hope you are feeling better! I love Florence & the Machine, and really love Aurora especially her version of The Seed that was performed in the forest for her Haik Concert.
Your right we will still enjoy watching the video. I just sat down with a warm brownie to watch. 🙂
Such beautiful music, Maddie I loved it! Thank you for the video too!
You’re welcome!
@@MadeleineOlivia Can you share what music it is?
I have short weather, envy; we are in autumn here in Australia enjoy some outdoor time Maddie!
The flowers look so beautiful!
Very glad you didn't scrap, I need these cozy vlogs!
the beginning of the video ❤❤❤
Love the intro Maddy ❤
Thank you!

omg I had no idea Aaron Dessner worked on Tortured Poets Department :D! That's so cool
He collaborates with Taylor loooads
Love your vlogs as always❤❤
Thank you!

You are perfect just as you are. Loveliness!!
I feel just the same about Folklore! ❤
What is your favourite huel flavours just started having them
I love the too good to go app, and the indian is in my favourites, I got 2 of those snack bags :)
Yea short love it!!!
I dont hate her but i listen to leo sayer A LOT. If they tell a story its enchanting. ❤
Hi guys I love Wholefoods, great company. Lovely vlog. Peace 🧚
Listen……… Alex giving us his view on Taylor Swift and the album was giving me metaphors for life - highlight of the vlog for me “Take a break and recharge” 🙌🏾🙌🏾🤣🤣
Hahahhaha this is so hilarious! Should be a quote on our new merch
You are beautiful! Girl, I have all those things too and it's OK! ❤
Can't believe Maddie Regina George-ed Alex loool "so you agree?" hahaha
There are no posts/ links on the "like to know it" 🙄

It would have never crossed my mind to judge how you look in shorts. We are so mean to ourselves sometimes!
I'm with Alex on Taylor.
There was nothing wrong with that outfit you did jobs in you looked absolutely fine so I’m glad you kept it on… keep walking through those doors good for you!!
❤so beautiful

In my mind you are beautiful! 💕

Cashews and dark chocolate with sugar the second ingredient?! Not that healthy then!
I think she is redoing albums because of a conflict with her album label.
