The Good Old Days...

my sweet tender lovely friends I think I made a breakthrough. so we know that orange has something to do with kaylor and representing Karlie (context here and here), but we’ve always wondered WHY. well I think I’m on to something!!

i was in a bookstore the other day, walked down the aisle, and BAM out of nowhere saw this book:

??????????!!!!!!!?!? OBVIOUSLY kaylor has all sorts of Big Sur references (road trip, Taylor saying you should take your wife to Big Sur, etc.), so this PLUS oranges?!

And most importantly we have the meaning of the oranges here:

We know that paradise comes up a TON in Taylors music, and there are even a lot of theories that her 6th album was going to be titled Paradise, before she changed plans and created Reputation. (see here)

What is SO interesting is Miller’s view of paradise - said beautifully in this quote:

Karlie is paradise for Taylor, but their love has some BIG flaws….mostly being the bearding and the k*$hnerds. But it’s their hurdles that keep drawing them in more and more, and making them commit again and again, and keeping things interesting. 

(fyi that is not healthy relationship behavior!!! obstacles dont equal chemistry)

It’s also worth noting that the artwork referenced, the garden of earthly delights, is positioned between heaven and hell, again imagery that Taylor uses a lot 

“Hell was the journey but it brought me heaven”, etc.

So that brings us to the orange girl in YNTCD. She is in her garden of earthly delights, surrounded by her oranges, but she is alone, the flaw of her paradise.

Also want to include this wonderful quote that I think really relates to Taylor’s battle with her masters and generally how she is beholden to the business side of music (including bearding) rather than the art side of it:

idk if we already figured this out?! but I was excited @spade-riddles​

the archer theory about taylor swift coming out.

well, i've seen some people talking about this song and i had to listen to it again, since it's one of my favorite songs on lover and it also has to do with the theories and the meaning this song has to me.

i don't want to apply this to anyone so feel free to SKIP and NOT READ if you don't agree that this is a LGBTQIA+ song.

pure my own interpretation but you don't have to come to me if you don't like, she has a lot of songs and some of them are free for interpretations and they have different meanings to different people.

the first line it's:

“combat, i'm ready for combat / i say i don't want that but what if i do?”

this line to me has the deepest meaning and it comes along with the one in you are in love “and you will understand now why they lost their minds and fought the wars” and in ivy “this is the goddamn fight of my life and you started it” and both songs are before and after the archer which makes the archer in the middle.

the combat she's (maybe) referring to it's about coming out being (still) the american dream and the woman everyone looks up to when it comes to pop music, she says she don't want it but what if she does? what if she want to fight for it, fight for who she is and who she wants people to see that she really is? it's a combat because you can't come out if you're not ready to start a war against the world.

“cause cruelty wins in the movies / i've got a hundred thrown-out speeches i almost said to you”

cruelty here, to me, it's about how cruel it is to not have the story of your life in the big screen, like, we grow up seeing the bad stories about LGBTQIA+ couples and it's always about how they didn't end up together or how bad they are treated. the “speeches i almost said to you" looks like something she was ready to say to us, her fans, and she didn't had the chance or she wasn't really ready.

“easy they come, easy they go / i jump from the train, i ride off alone / i never grow up it's getting so old, help me hold on to you”

when i first saw the miss americana documentary, i highlighted that part where she is trying to convince her father and the rest of the team that it was a good idea/good move to speak up about the politics and the situation of the trump thing. and it was very hard for me to watch because it was clearly a bunch of old men that grew up and still have in mind their conservatory concepts that goes against what taylor wanted to tell her whole life, they were just trying to silence her and she decided to do it anyway because she is a grown woman and she never spoke up about those things before the reputation era.

the easy they come and easy they go line goes for the fans, they are always in and out and sometimes some of them never want to come back and stay because in the first bad thing that happens to her it pulls them away. she jumps from the train and ride off alone, the train maybe is about her life that never stops and she takes a break from it, the media, the relationships, the image she has in front of the whole world and she ride alone because there's no one in the world that could understand her more than herself. she never grow up when it comes to being more mature when it comes to some things and having the capacity to speak her truth, she's asking us to let her hold on to us when things go harder and when everyone else has left her.

“i've been the archer, i've been the prey / who could ever leave me darling, but who could stay?”

i fucking love this line so much because when you are a LGBTQIA+ kid growing up, you always has to fight against being the bad person and the good person, you grow up seeing in the news that you will die young and that there's people out there that will try to tell you that loving someone of the same sex is the wrong thing to do. being the archer and also the prey is like haunting yourself until you realize who you really are, you have that idea internalized in you, the homophobic jokes you grew up listening and you're also the target and it's like both sides of a coin. who could ever leave her for being a (bi, pan, lesbian) woman? who could ever stay if she's a (bi pan, lesbian) woman? it's like “who could stay in the darkest of the darkest times here with me because it looks like i am lost and i don't know where to go”

“dark side, i search for your dark side / but what if i'm alright, right, right, right here?”

the dark side is not the bad side like people point out, the dark side of someone is like when the moon is half shown and half hidden, and you can only see the part that's out for the light. here the dark side of taylor is the one she haven't showed to us, and to me this line is not about a potential lover but about herself. and this song feels like a mirror, so to me, she's talking to herself and trying to find her dark side in front of her own image. the sequence “alright, right” it's like the dark side saying “i am here and it's good”.

“and i cut off my nose just to spite my face / then i hate my reflection for years and years”

this fucking line is the deepest for me, because it's like, she cut a part of herself to looks like someone who she wasn't made to be, it reminds me of having to hide your true side in despite of being hurt or left aside. how many LGBTQIA+ kids and teenagers has to hide from their parents? we change our way to see the world, we lie to everyone about our love interestings, we hide in the closet and we don't face ourselves because this is not who we are and then we spent the rest of our life hating our reflection because we don't recognize this person but everybody loves this version we created, it's easy, it's very easy to love a straight person but it's the hardest thing to let a queer kid feel loved. it's very easy to not tell a straight person how to be but it's the hardest thing teach a queer kid how to love themselves.

“i wake in the night, i pace like a ghost / the room is on fire, invisible smoke / and all of my heroes die all alone / help me hold on to you”

she's s ghost to the people who live with her so she's not seen, everything is burning and there's an invisible smoke that's where she fades in, and all of her heroes, probably the queer ones that are dying everyday all alone and the ones who died were left alone in their final days. again she's asking if she can count on us to keep going if things go hard.

“i see right through me / they see right through me / can you see right through me?”

seeing through someone means that you see their true version, like if you're looking at their soul and they're so open that you can read anything. it's understanding someone and knowing someone inside and out. just like the lover mv where she's inside the fish tank, it's a metaphor for a thing that can be seen by everyone just like a mirror. and the delicate mv where she's not seen until she enters the bar and sees a person. she can see through herself and people are seeing through her but not in the way she wants to be seen and then she asks (for the fans?) if we can see right through her. could we fight the wars with her? be the shoulder for her to lean on? stay even when she's about to face the fight the biggest war of her life?

“all the king's horses, all the king's men / couldn't put me together again / cause all of my enemies started out friends”

king's horses and king's men also align with the chorus and the universe of being the prey in a world of men. also it can also be the world of a society that lives inside a bubble and cannot accept diversity. not even the men, (her father, team, men she dated?) could put her together again after all that she have been through, and it matches with the “i cut off my nose just to spite my face”. all of her enemies once were friends which implies that she can't trust anyone and as the song goes as (in my vision) a LGBTQIA+ letter to her fans, she's saying that there's no one that could handle this secret and she already tried to tell them but it ended wrong.

that's it. to me this song has a deep meaning and i couldn't put everything i wanted to in this post. also i just want taylor to know that there's a lot of sapphic connotations in her songs and i will always stay.

Happy Eyepocalypse Anniversary

in commemoration of this momentous occasion coming up thirteen days from now on April 18th, i thought i’d share some compiled thoughts that i’ve gathered over the past year. and god, what a year its been. please note the majority of this is an attempt to bring together a bunch of links to posts, and string together a story surrounding the theory, a theory that i still call a theory. in short, i understand this falls in the conjecture column, in lieu of the terms “reach” and “fanfiction.” (well tbh i think its true as hell but im not here to create a convent) and i think this is worth mentioning, it’s meant in good faith 😌

👁The Theory: #all eyes on us

taylor included some part of an image of karlie’s right eye, flipped and placed on the right side of taylor’s face, in the reputation photo used on the cd skin and stadium tour poster.

Hello Pro! In light of the recent easter eggs, I felt compelled to compile them (in addition to the initial T/K baby speculation list I made before, yep I'm the same anon 😅) for us remaining Kaylors. These may vary from very strong to might-be-nothing easter eggs, and a mix of the T/K baby speculation and just plain T/K connections. Here's my little contribution to the fandom! ✨ (this is only for 2021 easter eggs so far):

1. Taylor's "Cancel the DNA test..." tweet (February 2021)

2. Taylor's Grammy dress.. having last minute changes to the original design to include little daisies and sunflowers on it. (March 2021)

3. Lover's crest on Fearless Vault + strikingly "K" outline/design on the vault door + the 13th word from the vault was "BABY" (April 2021)

4. Taylor's Periwinkle nail polish as a possible easter egg/response to your past anon's ask about if they still check your blog/kaylor blogs. (May 2021)

5. Matching Levi's overalls of Karlie (lategram while pregnant) and Taylor's IG post about evermore vinyl. (May 2021)

6. Karlie's IG story with a Santal 26 Candle (Tay's fave) in the frame. (May 2021)

7. Taylor wearing the VSFS angel wing ring on her acceptance speech for NMPA award (June 2021)

8. Karlie's avocado toast with a "13" on it (while pregnant.. lategram) (July 2021)

9. Karlie using a similar bg design for her KWK to Taylor's "Renegade" aesthetic. (July 2021)

10. Karlie reposting an IG story birthday greeting by Lily to K, with a photo from VMAs 2015, and Taylor visibly in the background. (August 2021)

11. Lover's crest still on the RED Vault + "K" outline/design still on the vault door + "KK" on the crossword puzzle (note: the letters were unused ones. Meaning, they weren't needed for any of the song titles. T still chose to put KKs near each other). (August 2021)

12. Karlie releasing/announcing her Adidas "Red" line the same day/timeframe Taylor posted Red Vault. (Her red was almost, if not exactly, the same shade of red Taylor uses for her RED TV era). (August 2021)

13. Taylor starting her Tiktok page, with a caption ".. let the games begins"; The next day, Karlie posted a photoshoot on IG with a caption "What's black and white and red all over" (the answer: Newspaper.. Reputation album cover link? 🤔). The dress she wore also have these race car flag design, which 9sw1ft pointed out, the flags were also used (by taylor) for the Taymoji of RFI, specifically for the line... "Let the games begin". (August 2021)

14. The day before the MET gala, Karlie posted an IG story with a direct line/caption "Let the games begin". (September 2021)

15. Karlie's MET GALA DRESS.. American Rose.. "A red rose grew up, out of ice frozen ground". Also note that The Met gala was on September 13th (9+1+3=13). (September 2021)

16. Taylor releasing Wildest Dreams (same week as the MET) and wearing a sweater (on the cover) that has little KKs on it. Not to mention, the brand/design of the sweater is from a 2014 line (and the brand had connections/collaborations with Karlie). (September 2021)

17. Taylor's announcement of RED being moved to Nov. 12th.. then mentioning in the same post to "Celebrate the 13th". (Note: Taylor and Karlie officially met/bonded on Nov. 13th VSFS 2013) (October 2021)

18. Taylor wearing an obviously similar RED ROSE DRESS to Karlie's Red Rose Met dress on her IG Reel/Video. (October 2021)

I'm aware that there are more (subtler and smaller) easter eggs in betweens, but I'm afraid this'll get toooo long haha! I also heavily emphasized on Taylor's hints more than Karlie's (Karlie has a lot more captions/pics that are sus) because people love to claim that Karlie's just baiting Kaylors. Please feel free to add other easter eggs I've forgotten about 😅 Will be updating these if/when we get more :) Enjoy!

This is amazing and well organized!

The inspiration behind ‘Don’t blame me’, aka she is obsessed.

Yes, Taylor clearly sampled. This is not the point though. The point is what inspired her. Not only the lyrics but her muse as an angel that falls from grace. The fact that the commercial came out right after they met makes it all the more interesting. Now I want a mashup of both songs.

Tea Time! There's something in the bridge of Coney ISLAnd you all are missing!

Coney Island 🎤

Taylor started her countdown to this chapter release from the day that she announced the two bonus tracks being released digitally 1/8/21. Meaning this chapter came out 13 days after the bonus tracks.

For folklore she released the lakes digitally and then released 3 of the chapters 3 days after the previous. Meaning: the lakes digital release <3days> the escapism chapter <3days> the sleepless nights chapter <3days> the salt box house chapter. She then released the final chapter the yeah i showed up at your party chapter 26 days after the third chapter. Then 26 days after that she did the signed copies of folklore in local record stores rollout. 2+6=8

I dk if she’s going to follow the same theme this time around and release a new chapter every three days but we’ll see. I will note that the Grammys are 53 days away from today on 3/14. If taylor wanted to keep up the buzz and stay within her numerological 13 vibes she has room to release something 4 more times. Meaning 13 days from today then 13 days after that so on and so forth.
