Yesterday, Our Patron Saint Taylor Swift of Adopted New York had an incident with a kitchen knife and broadcasted it on Twitter. Referencing her song "Bad Blood," she wrote "Band aids don't fix kitchen knife related injuries."

Swift made a really deep cut on her left thumb with a kitchen knife after doing an unspecified activity with said knife, and she wrote her lucky number, 13 on the band aid, which will definitely speed up the healing process. My guess is she was whittling wood to make a spear, as she's due for an orientation exercise in the woods with her supermodel squad. She needs to be prepared for all eventualities, so this injury is just a small hiccup in terms of her training.

What's even more striking about this picture is her seasonally appropriate oxblood mani. First off, the nail envy is too real — what brand and shade did she use? — but second of all, her mani looks just like an at-home job. The uneven color distribution and extra short nails prove that Taylor Swift Is in Fact Just Like You and Me, inspiring nail solidarity among the masses.
