Mastermind's "The Love Story of Sagittarius and Pisces - A Haze"
I think it's very interesting how Mastermind (the song) was very much prominent in the mv. Making it seem like the perfect love story.. ~Star-crossed lovers~ the Sagittarius and Pisces. But when the camera zooms out, you see that there's a typewriter on the side.. letting the viewer know Taylor's a (or THE) writer of it.
We flashback to the time before she met him. Taylor on a daisy couch, wearing a daisy dress, stuck in a room again.. reports of a storm can be seen (specifically in the St.Louis / IL border, (Big Sur) California, and Nashville Tennessee - windows boarded up after the storm / The rain is always gonna come, if you're standing with me) but when she saw him, the weatherman, you'd think she fell in love with the way she's staring.. but in reality she was seeing through him, the freedom in the fishbowl she wanted to have... expanding OUTSIDE the house.. out to the galaxy / universe.
I'm so in love that I might stop breathing. Drew a map on your bedroom ceiling (Map literally on the TV). No, i didn't see the news (weatherman), 'cause we were somewhere else (Galaxy - imagining their freedom, their escape through the haze, through him).
She knows she's stuck in a fishbowl - the 1989 room in the Lover mv proves that she can only have her lover in limited spaces inside their house.. even having to pretend when there are visitors.. but that doesn't mean she can't expand her fishbowl right? For her (and her lover) to move freely, outside of just the 4 walls of their room / house, she needs "smoke and mirrors", a haze, a distraction.. to make their world bigger. She literally saw the galaxy through him (Pisces).
So she writes their "love story", put them in her songs which then enabled the distraction from her true lover. She's all smiles with him around people (no idea if they are friends, fans, acquaintances etc.), emphasis on cameras (both film and photograph) documenting their "love story" (complete opposite of - romance is not dead if you keep it just yours). The weatherman is even wearing a jacket (with a sun sleeve) from Story MFG (MFG meaning Manufacturing.. Story Manufacturing..).. the manufactured Sun? She put everyone into this Lavender Haze, to make them believe.
Some people seem to move choreographically... again, manufacturing.
Love the scene of card games and the pizza box. It could be any card game, but these lines from New Romantics come to mind "It's poker, he can't see it in my face.. But I'm about to play my Ace" - Poker, a game where you literally deceive people.
As for the pizza box.. it's a reference to her old Stephen Colbert guesting. " 'Hey Stephen' isn't about you STEPHEN. - Taylor, Those are all pictures of me. - No. THIS IS A PIZZA". Taylor poking fun at people believing every word she says of what a song is about (PISCES constellation you guys!!), even if every other easter egg are in fact about something (or someone) else. (daisy dress, daisy couch, St. Louis, Big Sur, Letter K, Eye theory and so on). She found a way to hide her truth from the public because they believe EVERYTHING she says.
In the end, after putting everyone under the Lavender Haze, they believed her smoke and mirrors manufactured "Love Story", she can now go outside of the house. The haze afforded her to expand, to roam free and to now be undetected by the public. In the beginning, the haze / cloud / bearding weighed her down, because she couldn't be free to live her actual life, but when she planned everything and became a mastermind of her own freedom to hide her actual truth, it became a security for her. It didn't weigh her down anymore.
Now only a handful of Fan(s) can see her truth (call back to the Rep room with fans in the Lover House). These fans who can't be put under her Lavender Haze spell, even chases them away to see her clearly for who she really is. Maybe for now, she is fine with this situation. Maybe it's the safest, at least some could still see her for who she is and loves her anyway right?
TIMELESS
Let’s talk about these dates shall we??!
They still have fallen in love with this person even if they met on a crowded street in wartime.
As sweet as that is just like that, let’s break it down more, the narrator says she would’ve fallen in love with this person despite meeting on a crowded street in 1944, whats so significant about it?
Wasn’t a very accepting time was it? Nope, not at all. Not in the slightest. Make a little more sense now? On why “even if” implys it would be more despite meeting in front of all these people in a public where homosexuality isn’t approved of at all?
Moving on to another date: 1958
Wonder why 1958 is significant??
Pretty self explanatory-
A dusty romance that was torn apart before this time by outside forces/fate, simply because there was no acceptance yet??
So so gay
Don’t even get me started on this😭👏
Just some quick things about Timeless
The years mentioned in the song caught my attention:
“Black and white, saw a 30s bride” = 3
“On a crowded street in 1944” 4+4= 8
“And the date on the back said 1958” 5+8= 13
Also the lyric video has this box that has a cute really old school camera in it. And I like that she just took a piece of paper and just wrote “photos 25 cents each” it’s cute.
It’s weird but it kind of feels like fate that there are 8 leaves on this book cover. 8 flower buds on the top stem and 16 buds on the bottom stems. And this photo album is sitting on top of a pile of 3 books.
This one is just a wild coinky dink.
Wild how the numbers always add up.
Taylor Swift - I Can See You ft. Karlie Kloss
In a very special way and through 🐇🥚, Tay cast KK as part of the main cast of the music video for "I Can See You".
Look this!!!
Cash is a girl from Missouri...
And Presley played the role of a female programmer in the mv, right?! 😏
I know another girl from Missouri who is a female programmer in real life. ☀️💻
(x)
In the music video
In real life
🥰⭐️
I'm on cloud 9 after seeing that Taylor loves Karlie so much so much that she always makes sure to have her muse included in her work (it's 2023 folks and it keeps happening!!! 🤯).
🌼❤️☀️
Taylor's Betty Speech (June 10):
And you know when I would try and come up with their names, it was just easiest for me to pull names from my real life. The names that were actually named after real people that I love very much were James, Inez and Betty!
I obsessed over moving to New York and then I did it and the inspiration that I found in that city is kind of force of inspiration I've ever experienced in my life.
And she travels a lot, she lives in Nashville, and LA, and New York and she almost moved to London and i said nope, not happening. She now lives in New York.
You should think about the consequence of your magnetic field, you know it ain't my fault.
Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand? With every guitar string scar on my hand I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover.

I also woke up to rewatching and finding new layers. Last night I thought it was pretty boring. Among other things, I’m intrigued by the idea that this coder girl seemed to be the villain. Her jailer. But then we find she’s the mastermind back in the van directing the escape.
That’s an interesting thought! She wasn’t the villain in the video but you mean all the years people suddenly came to this conclusion and hung on to it, and all the while she’s in the shadows (van) helping guide Taylor through it all. I think the use of ‘coder girl’ is very loud.
Did she not post the announcement at 8:03?
Did she? On tumblr is says 8:13 🤭
I, for one, love to innocently touch my gal pal’s chest. And hips. And face (with my lips).
this is just… on another level of invisible strings 🥹
