I'm genT13 on twitter!!!
So... umm... is this not crazy that Taylor played a show in Paris on March 6, 2013.

March 4th is one of the Big Sur-versary days too.
Also, if you remember The City of Lover murul. It also had the dice that showed March 6th.
No idea what it all means... if anything at all. I just find it all ironic how Paris links up so perfectly for these two.
interesting 🤔
my tears ricochet - t.s.
sometimes the universe
...just says it shall be...
i mean seriously... can you believe this pic of karlie existed back in... august 2012?? with a gold heart covering over the other side of her face??? like...?!?! between this and the sweet escape coincidence unearthed by @daydreamlibertine i am truly beside myself
thanks to @blogbeautiffulthings for this truly hidden gem!! i can’t believe i’ve never seen it.
here’s more from the photoshoot that it is from:
karlie seems to be wearing her jennifer meyer initial necklace in this shoot as well.
really i’m just enamored by karlie showing off some very rare left-side eye 😂 and also like, it’s at such a particularly good angle...
...so naturally 🙈 i took the liberty of flipping it, zapping the saturation, and overlapping:
what a fit!
also it kind of reminded me of something
a taymoji of taylor in a hoodie, oddly misplaced within the I Did Something Bad pack
hark...!
is that a crack of the knuckles over a keyboard that i do hear? why yes concerned reader, i am aware this hoodie references a particular preexisting look of taylor’s. no, concerned reader, i am not aiming to say that this taymoji is meant to reference this one time back in 2012 when karlie modeled a black hoodie. after all this is a taymoji quite squarely of the:
gucci look from the lwymmd video.
that’s right.

also like, in rewatching the behind the scenes for this scene why does taylor go out of her way to make a scene out of one of the guys that has a hole cut out of his tie?
Some thoughts from twitter 🙌🏻
Just because I notice things...thought trail
Chunga munga is the cowardly lion from The Wizard of Oz (bow on his tail)
Which made me think of these red shoes from Taylor’s post
Which reminded me of the Tim Walker shoot Karlie posted last year around this time reminiscing (she was Dorothy)
October 2010 W mag Tim walker shoot
Which made me think of the song Somewhere Over The Rainbow that Karlie added to her “good morning” playlist on 3/8/21
There are only 3 songs on the playlist
The playlist is 13 mins long.
Which made me of course think of this connection
And just throwing these in for good measure
Are we on the Red Brick road right now ?

I am obsessed with you. If you look out your window and down the street about 200 yards, you may see a big white van parked on the street. I am inside the van with a telescope and computer. Just trying to catch a glimpse of Kelsey.

Now she's hiding in a closet. Now she's locked in that closet.
I saw your 1989 rewatch post and i was wondering about your comment: the New York story still continues.
I think in this side of swiftie fandom we can agree new york is karlie. However, I have seen so many analysis and lyric parallels of New York symbolism as proof of a kaylor break up.
I believe kaylor is still together, but I am having a tough time with what new york means after folklore and evermore. “I left a part of me back in New York” “she still is 23 inside her fantasy,” all of coney island paint at not so great picture compare to the new york of Lover.
What are your thoughts?
Sorry in advance if this sounds like rambling
She is still in New York regardless of how sad the songs sound. The story is still tied to New York.
I think there is this weird thing we tend to do when Taylor writes a sad song. We automatically assume it’s about a romantic break up and I think that is a product of her old reputation, sadly.
I think Taylor recognizes love is a lot more complex than Romeo and Juliet and it comes with ups and downs. We saw this on Lover. Riding the highs and treading the lows but all the while just hoping to get back to mundanity and normality. I think Taylor realized the lows and the highs make for a more entertaining story so she takes snapshots and zooms in on specific feelings and moments from her past and explores the stories that can come from them with new perspectives.
I also believe Taylor has been singing about her own personal journey and her struggles with anxiety. As well as her choices that led to a specific place or point in time and fighting her own demons while worrying about how someone could love her with her flaws. These concepts were on Lover as well.
Folklore and evermore honestly feel like purgatory to me, if that makes sense. They exist in a pocket dimension where Taylor is wandering around an old abandon town with no choice but to reflect on her past. She is forced to face her demons. She can’t hide from her thoughts. And sooner or later she realizes that the only way out is through and maybe if requires leaving all the baggage behind because you can’t leave the same way you came in.
“You know I left a part of me back in New York” means exactly that: She left part of herself in New York. (She had to leave something behind but she didn’t want to).
Conclusion:
The story is still in New York. Just on the outskirts of town. Coney Island is still in New York. It’s in Brooklyn. She did her photoshoot for the albums in Upstate New York.
She’s still writing the story:
“If the story's over. Why am I still writing pages?” - DBATC
“Pages turn and stick to each other” - RWYLM
I’m sorry again if this was rambly.
