I was wondering if anyone knows any speculations of the Ryan Reynolds scene in YNTCD where he's painting two buildings with the LGBTQ flag but he's looking at two empty seats? I just found that one weird
But wait SR, what if, WHAT IF, KK attends SNL tomorrow because they actually met in the Red era and it’s the 13th! I will literally die, dead 💀 like my soul will leave my body, if she makes an appearance at the show or the after party.
C’Mon Taylor honor your vow and be over dramatic to commemorate the day you met your lover! 🥰 we have full faith in you!!!
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)
I am now convinced that this part of the Apple Music interview was an Easter egg 🐣🐥
My theory: 6 months from December 15, 2020 Taylor is going to drop Long Live and maybe a hint for the Speak Now album rerelease.
Evidence in support: She said “everything is made out of confetti” and touched her face
Connected reference: we know from Taylor’s diary of song interview with NYT that she did this exact hand gesture when asked about the importance of a bridge
Evidence continued: After Taylor gives the signal, Zane gets tripped up and needed to read the prompt given to him by Taylor’s team to ask about august.
We know from the Long Pond sessions during the discussion of august that taylor said she had that “meet me behind the mall” line written down in her phone “years ago”. (It is at the very end of the discussion before they cut to the performance).
When Zane asked the question he pointed to the LPSS to ask about the “meet me behind the mall” line and in response Taylor said she had the line for “like 6 months probably.”
Now coming back to the confetti set up line:
The bridge of Long Live says:
In conclusion
I believe Taylor is dropping Long Live and maybe the hint for speak now’s release date on June 15th.
you ever think about what kind of scene would be taking place during sweet nothing given that it’s a song about a midnight?
They're not particularly a fan or a hater. Because of their job, they state that they're probably more exposed to Taylor's PR flow and the details of it than the average GP person, but less than the fans that consume it and go seek it out.
Here's what they think, from a "cool, detached, professional slash transactional standpoint" (quote):
Taylor Swift™ (the brand, which means Taylor and team. Whoever establishes the communication strategies and help build it in concrete visual coding, statements and appearances, etc) is very good at PR. "people that like or dislike the brand agree on that. Hell, that's the main reason many point out for their dislike. So good it's annoying. So much polished *genuine* that it feels fake".
She's been loud in supporting her causes in the past years. Feminism, acceptance of differences, fighting xenophobia, and loudest of them all, especially lately, her support of the lgbt+ community.
"The difference in the way she's doing it is fundamental." She's been placing herself amongst the queer community as she celebrates it. Repeatedly.
"In PR, there is one thing you can't get away with anymore. It's the I've Got This *** Friend strategy." You can't make yourself look cool and supportive of BLM just by hanging out with a dark skinned person and get ally cred. You will get torn down by backlash. You have to back it up with actions, and you have to shut up about it, so that it doesn't look like you're being supportive of something to get credit for it, that you're doing something good because your interest is how it will be a good reflection on your brand.
"Queer baiting might be a strategy to try to pull audience members and try to save a show, but considering the backlash that ensues, I wouldn't recommend it these days."
So their conclusion is this: Taylor knows much much better than that.
Yet she's being super super loud.
She's putting herself in the middle of it. "She's literally painting herself in it and with it." (in it, the videos, with it, the rainbow dresses and the hair colors)
"She's too smart to make a mistake like making herself the straight ally of the decade. Not this way where she IS being accused of baiting. So I must conclude that... She isn't. She's not baiting. She's messaging. And the message seems pretty darn clear to me."
.
So this is what they've said. The parts in italics are direct quotes they've allowed me to share and the rest is context and paraphrasing. I won't share more because they asked me not to. They would like to add this: "I'm straight. I'm what we're supposed to call middle aged. I don't particularly have an interest or investment on whether Taylor is or isn't queer, on whether she does or does not state it out loud. But working in a world where we spin stories, there are some that we don't like. The ones that cover up a closet rarely end well and always masquerade for someone's misery. Or some ones', plural. I can't deny how big an impact a coming out like hers would have if it's well handled. So. While I don't wish for her to go one way or another, I will be cheering loudly for her if she comes out. From a logical standpoint, I believe she's en route. From a more human one, hell yeah, my Spidey senses are tingling." (pause for giggles and discussion on whether Spidey senses should fall under strictly Human categorizing) "In any case, this little discussion dive into the Swift Tumblr PR Analysis Squad has been hilarious and inspiring. You think we're good? You should give yourselves a round of applause!"*
*can't say why they have referenced that we think they're good. But I'm allowed to point it out...

So! To my fellow members of the Taylor Swift PR Analysis Squad.... Basically this:
the next chapter
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.
dwoht, cruel summer and peace supremacy
folks...
real talk
whose eye praytell
whose eye is it
honestly
she’s tr👁ing to tell you
I can't!!
