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
Hi, there's an eye/s on Taylor's black shoulder dress.. the one where she's wearing mask. Its from twitter, thought might share it here. Karlie also wore a red dress w/ a lot of eyes on her shoulder too.😂

Honestly Taylors jewelry looks like a custom Schiaparelli piece! Have you seen the full collection? I’ve been giggling over it since Karlie wore that red jumpsuit 👁️
all smiles during timeless!
Exactly. St. Patty's was Friday.

I was wondering why she chose to wear green the second night when the first night was St. Patrick’s Day. Good video ☺️
Okay, just earlier today I did a post like this with the connections between JackOLantern’s messages and You’re Losing Me….but now the Karma music video is out and I AM LOSING MY SHIT. I’m 113% certain there’s things I’m missing, BUT OH WELL.
-
🎃 Message 3: “Somersaulting past ancient artifacts, stopping only to admire a statue or two. ”
(Note: this scene transitions by Taylor leaning over and the camera spinning in a circle to begin the next scene…kind of a somersault.)
(also, wasn’t there just recently a big, long post about the justice tarot card relating to flag anon and that infamous betty/lavender haze mad men episode?)
-
🎃 Message 8: “You have always craved destruction. Scrawled devil horns on photos of yourself. This is different.”
🎃 Message 3 “Dressed in your wife’s black leather and the mask of an illusionist”
(Note: @9w1ft has a great post on how similar Taylor’s outfit here is to Karlie’s met gala look….👀) (2nd Note: This message from 🎃 ends with the main character striking a match…this scene from the music video is very….flame-y.)
One more thought on this one…
🎃 Message 11: “Sheep have removed their wolf’s clothing with relief. Masqueraders with masks removed…”
(This line always stuck out to me in JackOLantern’s last big message. Usually the phrase is reversed “A wolf in sheep’s clothing.” Which suggest a predator pretending to be prey for a chance to attack. “Sheep in wolf’s clothing” would mean prey pretending to be a predator…perhaps to avoid being attacked by the other wolves? Did pumpkin anon just put into words what being closeted feels like PERFECTLY? Holding that line from their message up to this scene, where taylor is behind the mask of a devil….and then smiles and waves once she takes it off…..i’m thinking sooo many thoughts about this.)

this one has LAYERSSS so bear with me!
in this scene, not only does it have a flourishing garden with patches of daisies…it also has a castle on the hill that she has wandered far away from, happy-go-lucky childlike body language, AND wizard of oz imagery….
🎃 Message 4: “The story of the person behind the curtain.”
(HELLO WIZARD OF OZ?!?!?!)
🎃 Message 7: “You are walking through your yard. It’s one of your favorite places, all sprawling garden rows and vibrant green grass […] There are daisies - so many daisies - in every shade of your rainbow.”
(Note: These daisies in the video are pink + gold…..literally lesbian flag colors. All the flowers in this scene are……)
🎃 Message 7: “…and set your foot on each stepping stone of the path that leads right to them. The house is a little farther now…”
(Note: The castle can be seen in this scene way in the background, up on a hill. ALSO, she is following a brick road….aka a stone path….I MEAN)
*BONUS! 🎃 Message 2: “You are on the balcony of an ice castle.”
🎃 Message 7: “…but you are still within the confines of your tall and impenetrable fence. Nothing comes through that fence. Not now and not ever. Within it you are safe.”
(This feels the way the fence is described in JackOLantern’s story…with all good, safe, unbothered things on one side, and unknown depths of darkness on the other….also the 3 grim reapers are an…interesting choice….)
🎃 Message 7: “Caught up in a moment of buoyant childlike whimsy, you make a wish and blow, blow, blow. Hundreds of featherly florets scatter. You laugh. You watch as they ride the breeze…”
(I MEAN COME ON!!! She is skipping around with a very childlike, lighthearted body language, and then she freaking blows purple glitter over TOWARDS HER ENEMIES……..!!!)
also worth noting that there is a little rabbit hidden in the garden…weren’t there some epic alice in wonderland connections made to JackOLantern recently? 🤔
-
🎃 Message 10: “You wander through the woods. Deep in this Enchanted Forest […] You squint to make sense of your surroundings through the fog…”
(This one isn’t exact…but to have clouds/fog descending onto a thick wilderness/mountain/forest scene……..it’s all just really delicate, you know?)
-
Note: the entire boat/pirate/nautical message + Ice Spice has a lyric that mentions waving white flags - which brings to mind pirates and surrender for me personally. (which is….exactly what that message was about. the main character surrendering herself to the bad guys.)
-
🎃 message 9: “And now it is just a matter of time. The dripping of candle wax. The ticking of a clock.”
(Note…including their final goodbye message, we received 12 messages from JackOLantern….like the hours on a clock…)
-
THAT IS ALL I CAN SPOT RIGHT NOW. MY BRAIN IS EXPLODING. OH MY GOD. @spade-riddles
On 4th December 2014, Taylor and Karlie attended The 1975’s concert at Terminal 5 in New York (accompanied by Lily Aldridge, Martha Hunt, the Haim sisters and, for a short while, Josh Kushner.) This evening, which plausibly was intended to establish a public frame of reference for Taylor’s subsequent relationship with Matt Healy — the groundwork for which was being laid throughout November (see: here , here and here) — became notorious, when video was posted online purporting to show (an obviously inebriated) Taylor kissing Karlie.
Over the course of the same evening a total of 146 posts were liked by Taylor’s tumblr account. Notably, 26 of these concerned her relationship with Karlie, of which 13 were photos and/or gifs of their appearance together at VSFS on 2nd December. They are as follows below:
[NB: ‘likes’ generally related to Karlie are (in the process of being) collected here.]

Preparations leading up to the revelation, a divine source of knowledge. With pride all will be crystal clear.

“I wrote about moving to the loudest and brightest city in the world, the city I had always been overwhelmed by… until now. I think you have to know who you are and what you want in order to take on New York and all its blaring truth. I wrote about the thrill I got when I finally learned that love, to some extent, is just a game of cat and mouse.” - Taylor Swift (1989 album liner notes)
One of the loudest things to me is how in Paper Rings (a song about wanting to marry someone), Taylor referred back to a line in her 2014 1989 album notes where she says she learned that love is just a game of cat and mouse. Lover came out a whole 5 years later….. like hello?
during the lover performance, there was a taylor in the pink lover room that waved at her reflection as it walked away, and then proceeded to climb into the mirror after her 🥹
“Decide what’s yours to hold and let the rest go.”
“One toxic relationship (hello being in the closet and bearding with this dude) can outweigh many wonderful, simple joys (hello to the muse that she had a 2,190 day love blackout with)”
