Taylor Swift really said “oh, this private life you’ve been watching? Yeah, its never not a performance from inside my fish bowl!” when she blew this popsicle stand.
“The only way for me to disappear (even while in said endless fishbowl that my life has become) is for me to envelop myself in this lavender haze.”
(Which she tells us is synonymous with her melancholia… so, sometimes that haze can loom over her as persistent sadness and ill-founded fears…)
But Taylor has been telling us that despite the sadness, fear, and sense of doom that comes with it, being with her star-crossed lover is the only shade of blue for her.
And gang, she recently framed this singular blue for us. It’s a “midnight blue,” according to Taylor.
Everyone lost their minds after she said the glitter puke and blood in the “Anti-hero” music video is “midnight blue,” but it wasn’t exactly just gaslighting.
It’s Taylor meditating on a theme in her life and art—a blue, a sadness,a melancholia that she feels most deeply in the dead of night, lying awake wondering about love, life, and who she is.
It’s also a blue in which she is submerged, in a fishbowl, in a haze, that is the only thing she really believes in despite the big hoax surrounding her (the idea that her lover’s love is faithless being the “Hoax”).
It’s the “true blue” of someone who knows her for her, is loyal, and dives into this life with her despite it all.
It’s the true blue she bleeds and the true blue that pours out when she spills her guts or the walls come down.
And it’s lavender.

Taylor performing You Are In Love as the surprise song on piano 🎹 in LA on 8/4 💙 🥹
This performance made me so happy.
She was smiling so big throughout this whole song
You can hear it in the silence. You can see it with the lights out.
Imagine getting the whole crowd to scream You’re my best friend with you.
She unequivocally says “you can see HER with the lights out” during every single refrain. And the one time at the end she says it she repeated the line louder with HER.
Remember this is going in the tour doc.
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.
I honestly can’t get over the video of Taylor looking at the lesbian couple of blowing them a kiss. I saw it like 20 times already. The way she held her head straight the whole time but as soon as she saw them she like melted, that little smile, her eyes look sad like she is remembering something, 15 second stare and then kiss.
That whole thing was understanding that only people that know it will get. She talked to them (and us) without saying anything. I’m so sad for her but at the same time i’m so proud and happy because she seems to be getting more and more comfortable 🥹
I know, this was so sweet. And you said it, seeing her facial expressions change… people who get it, get it 😭
