So this foot kept me up at night...

I'm not crying, you're crying! https://twitter.com/kaylortruther/status/1648672673029914626
This is amazingggg, that cabin looks exactly like the folklore cabin!
Yes! It’s cute that newbies are finding this again. The Kaylore of it all. Great thread 🤍
Supposedly going to a studio? 🤭
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
at the show that her "ex-pal's" best friend/big brother attend...
and this ⬇️ btw lives rent-free in my mind so...
... Truman Show continued
After a moment of reflection, Truman utters his catchphrase: "In case I don't see you... good afternoon, good evening, and good night", bows to his audience and exits. The viewers celebrate his escape, and Sylvia races to greet him.
Taylor is being loud. Wow. She is really burning her artificial life down.
as another reddit user said,
☀️🦶🏻💕
"... 'Cause we lost track of time again
Laughing with my feet in your lap
Like you were my closest friend..."
"...You'll find me on my tallest tip-toes
Spinning in my highest heels, love
Shining just for you..."
"I want auroras and sad prose
I want to watch wisteria grow
Right over my bare feet
'Cause I haven't moved in years
And I want you right here"
🌼❤☀️
Comparing the love songs Taylor wrote about New York and how important of a location it is to her, like Cornelia Street, False God, Maroon, Coney Island, Daylight, Hoax, Welcome to New York, Delicate, Cardigan
How all of those songs have some of her most beautiful, romantic and heart wrenching lyrics.. how she is 100% talking about a lover who’s New York is as important to them as it is for Taylor, but on the other hand…
She is supposedly living in London with her “boyfriend” and the only song she wrote about London is just her listing some places that a TOURIST would visit, nothing romantic or beautiful or moving about. Places you can simply google. Like she is clearly saying she is only a tourist not a person who lives there.
Also The Lakes, a song about Taylor spending time or going on vacation with her lover to the Lake District, emphasizing that she is only a tourist and not someone who lives in the UK in any way.
Yet, the intimacy she writes about New York with, all the memories and secrets and moments shared on those New York streets and homes….. please how can someone not see that she never left New York? That her partner is a PART of this city and that’s why she is more attached to it and mesmerized by it.
Like in Cornelia Street when she says she rented a place on that street, supposedly with Toe. Taylor started “dating him” in 2016, which is the same time she rented the Cornelia place… but she says in the bridge…
“You hold my hand on the street, walk me back to that apartment, YEARS AGO, we were just inside. Barefoot in the kitchen, sacred new beginnings”
YEARS AGO… and she only date Toe at the time for a couple of months only, even if you wanna stretch it to a year, it still won’t work.
It seems like around 2016 Taylor and Karlie had a very important moment in their relationship, maybe a test, that made them even closer and strengthened their relationship and made them know it’s the end of all the endings.
Like how can people not see it…..
Just a little ask for Valentines 💌. Hope you’re all are having a wonderful day. 🫶🏼
💌
all smiles during timeless!
