Like... Like...?!

so this sweater has been ID’d as Band Of Outsiders, Pre-fall 2014. naturally, i did the google 🥴

🥴 so it seems karlie has a bit of a connection to the brand, as the place that did her cookie collab also collabed with them. she also wore a dress from the brand to the 2014 CFDA awards.

just kinda interesting to think, you know, taylor chose to—for the cover of Wildest Dreams Taylor’s Version—wear a sweater from a collection of a brand that karlie was in and around, in and around the same time 🥴💕

just remembering how karlie posted this on october 26, 2014, the eve of 1989's midnight release, kind of implying that she was out of the country (but she was actually snapped by a fan in nyc with taylor)

but the fact that she chose this particular picture... with (her?) hands making our girl's signature heart sign which she became so known for that it's practically unofficially copyrighted by the Taylor Swift™ brand....

I really want to believe Karlie & Taylor are still together, have a kid together etc. But what are your thoughts on Right Where You Left Me? It's clearly about Karlie, but it's not exactly the most positive bonus track from evermore that would confirm their relationship is, well...forevermore. Thoughts?

I do not really know this song so I will let others chime in. I am not a believer that evermore or folklore are specific narratives of her life. I believe those songs are sprinkled with a combination of true stories and fiction.

august - taylor swift//wuthering heights - emily bronte// gone girl - gillian flynn//dancing in odessa; "musica humana" - ilya kaminsky// felicity; "the pond" - mary oliver// sunkissed - khai dreams// the unabridged journals of sylvia plath - sylvia plath// sue monk kidd// august moon - gregory and the hawk

Stumbled across this and I have no idea what this means.

aside from all the things Taylor has shown us about not being straight, I wanna know if this has been discussed.

She's said that her track 5 songs are always very emotional. We know her star sign is the archer. In you need to calm down there's an easter egg for the song with Hayley Kyoko.

A lesbian woman is an archer.

I could discuss the fact that she's dressed in blue and how that can potentially go back to the Mean music video and the girl with a blue ribbon on her dress, whose storyline ends watching Taylor, and how that could be attributed to either gender identity or expression, along with a few more things, but that's for another time.

THATS SO LOUD

BUT

I also recently learned that if a flag is upside down, it's a symbol of danger and distress.

And Taylor's bi hair is upside down. So are the lyrics in invisible string - blue, purple, pink.

But with time, it'll happen. She'll be even louder.

ooh interesting about the flag tidbit i wonder if that’s why she did that 🤔

good notes all around anon!

New thoughts about YNCD video - Part 1

I'm new here so not quite sure if these ideas had been discussed before... just to write down and share. Happy reading!

On top of the LGBTQ+ related Easter Eggs hidden everywhere of the video, I think Tay also gave us lots of hints about the songs in the Lover album.

^ Cruel Summer

Devil roll the dice

^ Lover (Karlie)

^ The Man

^ The Archer

^ I think He Knows

He got my heart beat skipping down 16th avenue

^ Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince

^ Paper Ring (wedding metaphor)

^ Cornelia Street

^ London Boy (who is a GAY, interesting...)

^ ME!

I also found some interesting stuff about chairs & the blender, and put them into Part 2:

loving how karlie casually confirmed that the initials on the pavement in soho were in fact written for her —a rep era kaylor fan theory— in the same breath that she says that her husband carved them in there, when we have literal multiple timestamped photos that show how her initials had a TS next to them years before half the pavement was ripped up and he added the J!and nobody’s batting a fucking eye!!

Remember how Taylor wrote poems and they had pressed flowers on them?

From a young age, Emily Dickinson collected and pressed flowers and included them in a book she kept, and also poems she wrote. She became a lifelong gardener and often included dried flowers in her letters. Nature and botany were important subjects in her poetry.

“In accordance with the prevailing floral language of her time, Emily associated various flowers with certain friends, family members and lovers. Her beloved blooms inspired metaphors, gave her images, “themes, narrative tropes, and an elaborate and rich language that related her to other artists.” Indeed, Emily called her poems “blossoms of the brain,” and not surprisingly, she was more widely known in her village as a gardener than a poet.” (X)
