I Can't Believe I Had To Come Back To Tumblr To Scream Taylor Swift Girl Kisser Online But Oh Well

Marry her, Taylor

Taylor Swift - Lover

Hello fellow tinhat.

Something I saw on Reddit yesterday has sent me into a spiral of wonderfulness about Gold Rush.

A reminder of what Taylor said about Gold Rush, that it: “takes place inside a single daydream where you get lost in thought for a minute and then snap out of it.”

I had a theory from very early on that Gold Rush was about kaylor meeting at the Met Gala in 2011. I didn’t have any solid ‘evidence’ of this, but some stuff stuck out. As a refresher, we know that they met and had an interaction at the 2011 Met Gala because a year and a half later Karlie said that this was when the baking date joke first started. They joked about it, Taylor then mentioned it during her Vogue interview Sept 13, 2011, and then Karlie saw it when Vogue was released in January 2012 and tweeted ‘your kitchen or mine?’ Karlie wore a gold dress that year to the Met Gala and then 8 years later, she famously wore another gold dress and captioned her insta post “Gold Rush”.

What really made me think Gold Rush was about the 2011 Met Gala was just the whole way it vibes with the toe storyline, because I think the Toe fanfiction was invented to mimic Kaylor’s actual truth, partly to allow Taylor to write about her experiences and attribute them to joe in a believable way. It’s easier to lie when it’s partly true. So if Taylor first developed a crush on Karlie at the Met Gala 2011, it just smoothly fits into this toe thing, in a way. This is especially true when you add in the fact that Dianna was also there, and then Taylor and Dianna may have started something within days of when Taylor shouted out Karlie in the Vogue interview in Sept 2011, and both Karlie and Dianna tweeted about the Vogue cover in a flirtatious way. You end up with this messy bit of a love triangle type thing going on, not too far off from the mess that was Calvin/Tom/Joe (Karlie) in 2016. Not that I think we can say that anything really was going on between kaylor at this time, but you can definitely see flirting and crushing going on, which fits the toe narrative about them being friends and texting while Taylor secretly had a crush while dating Tom. Not exactly the same of course, but if this was all happening back then it gives her this ability to write about real situations and feelings while being able to attribute it to the boyfriends. And the whole message of Gold Rush is that it’s just a dream and it could never be. And so it was for another 2 years (in the toe fantasy it was just 3 months of her daydreaming about it and thinking it could never be.)

So this was just a silly, fun idea I had until yesterday when I saw this excerpt form her Vogue interview on Reddit. Keep in mind the spring 2012 show took place in Sept 2011:

👀 What are the odds? She was even wearing an folkevermore-style cottagecore dress!

I also realized that in August 2011, in the same sort of timeframe all this was going on, Taylor wore a Philadelphia Eagles shirt during Speak Now tour 👀

And on top of all that, at this time karlie was getting what I consider to be her first real chance at fame outside of the fashion world, because she got a cover story for Life Magazine, released Sept 10, 2011 (all this going on at the same time is kinda crazy!) And this video was part of that photoshoot:

Very ‘gleaming twinkling’ if you ask me. Plus Daisies!?!

So I hope you will join me in this wildness. It seems right up your alley.

👁👄👁

okay so we have been talking about how misty goes over to taylor during certain parts of the song but i was just watching a recording online where they distort the sound to avoid copyright conflict and so i was watching the performance purely visually and not trying to think about the connection to the lyrics and it’s quite literally that

the ballerina keeps trying to run to taylor in between stunts

but she always has to go back to the man so they can perform another maneuver..

her performance with the man keeps pulling her away 😣

champagne problems

The definition of “champagne problems” is that this expression is used to refer to a problem that’s insignificant… worthless, compared to so many other worse situations (such as world hunger, wars, a pandemic).

My view of this song is that Taylor used problems she experienced involving marriages that, at first, seemed to have ended her world. But even though they were troubled moments, she realized after a while that they were not so bad compared to so many other problems in life.

The song portrays 3 times that Taylor was personally involved in thing relative to weddings. 1) The wedding blow that KK had to participate in (white letters); 2) Once Tay refused a marriage proposal (red letters); 3) Confirmation that Taylor and Karlie are married (yellow letters).

That’s what happened after Karlie told Taylor personally about the marriage maneuver. What is obvious, at first, must have triggered a HUGE fight between them.

This is Taylor’s reaction after the news. She seems to have been shocked and then they fought. Tay returned her engagement/wedding ring to Kar. And apparently, after KK left for some other home their, when Tay was calmer, she seems to have realized that she wasn’t the only one who was suffering from what was going to happen, and Taylor kind of regretted having “dropped” Karlie’s hand at a time that must have been one of the most distressing in her life (can you imagine how terrifying it must have been for her? Probably KK must have been “cornered” to participate in this scam and thought that because of this, she would lose her fiancee/wife). Taylor then realized that, in the grand scheme of things in the world, this was nothing more of a “champagne problems” compared to so many other things that they, or even people close to them, have already gone through in life.

Karlie told the family everything that happened, the future wedding coup that she would have to do, the fight with Taylor and nobody was happy with what would happen. I think Kaptain Kimby got drunk with sadness that the girls were in that situation.

Taylor is recalling an ex-girlfriend’s proposal that she once refused. And talking about the reaction of people close to this ex who commented that Tay’s refusal was nothing big. Just a silly “champagne problem”.

I don’t know if you capture that same vibe that I do, but the first times I heard this excerpt, it seems that the person who is proposing marriage is someone who is always surrounded by friends, someone who is the center of attention of the group, a person popular. It also seems that this ex-girlfriend took it for granted that Taylor would accept her engagement proposal. And after being refused, the girl wanted to know why Taylor had said “no”, but Tay did not know the reason for her negative response to this proposal. Taylor just knew it was “no”.

This passage is the most interesting and revealing to me.

“Midas touch” is an expression used to refer to someone who can make something prosper.

Chevy is short for Chevrolet, the famous car brand. Do you know what awards Chevrolet sponsored in 2017 and even had a commercial with Luke Bryan? Link

The 51st CMA Awards. The one in which KK participated and presented the music award of the year, which went to TS’s “Better Man”. That is, Taylor thinks she only won that prize, because KK was presenting and brought her good luck. And I believe that Tay put this moment here, to try to show us, when more or less this fight because the wedding blow happened. Sometime in 2017. OMG! That woman’s mind… 🤯;

Taylor reveals how her insecurities were on edge when she made a joke that she was crazy. Because after so many people said that to her, and other bad things, Tay believed them for a while (pre reputation period);

She also talks about how loyal and true their friends are, and that, from that moment on, they could no longer say “our friends” (feud’s public narrative was in progress) and soon these friends will be decorating the corridors (the friends will participate in the fake wedding to try to give credibility to the coup) that they’ve already crossed;

THEY’RE MARRIED!; 🥰♥️🥰

Taylor mentions the two stunts, and how she was never ready for that to happen, despite knowing that this blow was coming;

Once again, Tay remembers the refused marriage proposal, now justifying to the ex that sometimes, all you know is that you need to say “no”. Until you meet the right person who will make the proposal;

Taylor remembers again that she was called crazy for having refused the proposal and consoles her ex-girlfriend, saying that the ex will find the real thing, from experience.

Taylor reassures that there’s still hope for her ex to find the one, her true love. That special person that will be there to collect/mend your “pieces” when you’re broken. Just as Taylor found Karlie. And when that person arrives, Tay’s refusal will just be “champagne problems” in ex’s life.

In other words, the main theme of the song, talks about how, at certain times in our life, there’re situations that seem to be the worst thing that has ever happened to us, or that is going to happen to us, but then you realize that it was a “champagne problems” compared to so many other worst realities in the world, such as the pandemic we’re experiencing, for example. And Kaylor is still together.

👸🏼♥️☀️

P.S.: I only came to the conclusion that this disagreement occurred in 2017, after I tried to think of a time when Taylor was using a “flannel cure” + a moment of prosperity that occurred in November + and that Kar was present (since Midas is associated to gold, and the gold color is attributed to Karlie). It was then that I remembered the video of Tay watching Kar giving a CMA award for “Better Man”.

And despite this disagreement, because of the marriage scam, it seems to be, and maybe it’s classified by the girls as, the worst fight of their relationship, I think that they never ended it. I think they probably fought for a few days. But they didn’t go to the extreme of finishing their relationship.

As soon as I started peeking at the fandom in 2014, at times, some Kaylor blogs would comment more frequently on questions regarding Taylor’s possible ex girlfriends, or direct people to blogs that specifically talked about the subject or a certain “ship”. I confess that I was never interested in knowing about the subject and, therefore, I never entered these blogs to learn more.

So, about the identity of the ex-girlfriend who had her marriage proposal rejected by Taylor, I believe it’s Dianna Agron.

Because someone commented to me about it once (in person), and I remember reading it a few times, on a kaylor blog, that the Swiftgrons (is that how you write it?) believed that after many comings and goings in their troubled relationship (apparently toxic), and full of betrayals by Dianna (I’m not sure about that), at a time when they were separated, Dianna in a final attempt of Taylor getting back with her, proposed to Tay. Which of course, now seems to have been confirmed that such an event actually happened through the letters of “champagne problems”, and Taylor refused DA’s proposal. As I said before, I’m not sure if this is true or not, because I never tried to confirm what I heard and read a few times. But perhaps someone who knows more aboutthis whether this can confirm if my assumption is real or not, in the comments.

cannot get over how bearding themed the line “and if they call me a slut you know it might be worth it for once” like it’s… just think about taylor’s life, rotating shortly contracted dudes in and out just to keep up a guise so that you’ll be able to date a woman, just to be called a man eater, and then for the woman you’re doing all this for to be giving you the runaround 😆 if i finally felt like i found something worth doing all the carnival games for i’d be a whole mood about it too

the subtle and not so subtle gayness of folklore

the 1

You know the greatest films of all time were never made

And if my wishes came true, it would’ve been you

You meet some woman on the internet and take her home

It would’ve been fun if you would’ve been the one

cardigan

Chase two girls, lose the one

I knew you’d linger like a tattoo kiss

I knew you’d come back to me

THIS FULL SONG

And though I can’t recall your face, I still got love for you, your braids like a pattern

And I think you should come live with me, and we can be pirates, then you won't have to cry, or hide in the closet

And though I can't recall your face, I still got love for you, pack your dolls and a sweater

august

And I can see us twisted in bedsheets, August sipped away like a bottle of wine, 'cause you were never mine

I remember thinking I had you

illicit affairs

Leave the perfume on the shelf that you picked out just for him, so you leave no trace behind

You showed me colors you know I can't see with anyone else

You taught me a secret language I can't speak with anyone else

betty

THE ENTIRE SONG JUST GO LISTEN

Betty, I won't make assumptions about why you switched your homeroom, but I think it's 'cause of me

Betty, one time I was riding on my skateboard when I passed your house. It's like I couldn't breathe

Would you have me? Would you want me? ... Or lead me to the garden? In the garden, would you trust me?

Slept next to her, but I dreamt of you all summer long

Will you have me? Will you love me? Will you kiss me on the porch

peace

All these people think love’s for show, but I would die for you in secret. The devil’s in the details but you’ve got a friend in me

family that I chose

I’d give you my sunshine, give you my best

taylor nations post oh my god "looking the sun and the mirror right in the eye" ... karlie aka sunshine looking camp right in the eye... the mirror... i-

OH MY GOD this is so loud 😭👀

♠️ The blue will remain true. - 12/30/2018

I believe this riddle was a hint that Taylor’s truest songs about her current situations (relative to the time they were made) will reference blue.

Examples:

“And it's new, the shape of your body/ It's blue, the feeling I've got” - cruel summer

“I blew things out of proportion, now you're blue/ Put you in jail for something you didn't do/ I pinned your hands behind your back, oh/ Thought I had reason to attack, but no” - afterglow

“I'm with you even if it makes me blue” - paper rings

“Time, wondrous time/ Gave me the blues and then purple pink skies/ And it's cool, baby, with me” - invisible string

“But I'm a fire and I'll keep your brittle heart warm/ If your cascade ocean wave blues come/ All these people think love's for show/ But I would die for you in secret” - peace

“Don't want no other shade of blue but you/ No other sadness in the world would do” - hoax

“Did I paint your bluest skies the darkest gray? A universe away” - Coney Island

“Gray November/ I've been down since July/ Motion capture/ Put me in a bad light” - evermore

“Show me a gray sky, a rainy cab ride/ Babe, don't threaten me with a good time” - London boy

There is very little blue in evermore. I believe the use of gray in Coney Island is tied into the use of gray in evermore and London boy. In the LPSS Taylor describes the love part of hoax as who would you want to stay with gray skies everyday. So if we understand gray skies as storm clouds blocking the blue skies then I’d compare it to a beard maybe blocking the truth. Like a true face hiding behind the beard.
