The End Of The Video

The End of the Video

Something I haven’t seen mentioned yet is the implications of how after Taylor climbs into the lavender haze cloud at the end of the video, the cloud *poofs* and mid disappearance, the video cuts to black.

Is the public persona Taylor disappearing/being killed off?

Others have already pointed out that this Taylor is in the same outfit (lesbian flag knit top) as one of the Taylors in Anti-Hero, and appears to possibly represent the public persona Taylor (a theory that is reinforced by this Taylor performing pda for the cameras and the crowd in party scene of this mv).

After the party scene, when the house is empty, the same Taylor starts deconstructing the space, revealing it to be some kind of set. First she rips open the shades over the window, then she starts pushing the walls down.

As the walls fall, she sits in the center of a lavender cloud, with koi fish swimming through the surrounding cosmos.

Then she pulls the cloud over her head like a down comforter, and the cloud begins to dissipate, quickly, before the video cuts to black and ends.

With the cloud, this version of Taylor disappears as well. Which is already interesting. Then you consider that what she leaves behind is midnight blue sky full of koi fish (which supposedly represent being proudly out in Japan)….

It’s a bold interpretation, but it’s also a bold sequence, a bold video, after two other bold videos, and 20 very bold songs.

I believe pretty strongly that she will stay in the glass closet until she can tell her whole truth, and has a strong chance of making a considerable difference in the industry as a result, so I’m not saying I think this means she’s going to come out tomorrow, but i do think it means something. Maybe it’s just to send a message to those who haven’t gotten it yet? Maybe it means she’ll stay in the glass closet but drop the beard soon? Who knows, I just love how loud it is.

The amount of Swifties defending Joe’s alleged insecurity over Taylor’s fame is too damn high. They say it’s rude to speculate and believe gossip and rumors and to just leave the man alone. I would, of course, agree with this.

But we see the hypocrisy there, right? We know the rumors they did choose to believe, and the woman they still to this day will not leave alone…right?

Why in this world are we so quick to defend an [allegedly] straight white man who couldn’t handle his girlfriend’s success, and why are we so quick to condemn a self-made business woman like Karlie who has been nothing but supportive and respectful to Taylor all along? Why is that the priority? I know I’m not the first to point this out, but I just can’t wrap my head around feeling so moved to come out in his defense almost in favor of the patriarchy—on the Taylor Swift subreddit no less.

“Don’t use her as a pawn against the patriarchy” as if Taylor would not LOVE that (and as if she hasn’t orchestrated these “rumors” about Joe being insecure about her success). Taylor didn’t write FUCK THE PATRIARCHY into ATW10 for you all to defend Joe Oatmilk Alwyn.

Some people, pretty much: "Excuse me, but having Austin hang out with Josh days before the 2016 election is NOT something I've ever wanted Taylor to be involved with, is my copy of Taylor Swift Dating Sim: Gay Edition broken or something?! I want a refund!"

i’m guessing they wouldn’t like how she sang at mikey and karlie’s bday in the hamptons that august either,

people hate things that aren’t black and white, i guess
