Night 2.

“Don’t put me on display ‘cause you don’t own me. Don’t try to change me in any way”

“We twist in our self-made cages and pray that we aren’t—right this minute—about to make some fateful life-altering mistake… For all of us who have tossed and turned and decided to keep the lanterns lit and go searching—hoping that just maybe, when the clock strikes twelve… we’ll meet ourselves.”

The entire Eras Tour is a commentary on fame. It isn’t just abt her masters, it’s abt Taylor Swift the brand. It’s abt her finally deciding to put her happiness before her fans. Gaga’s Applause followed by You Don’t Own Me. The Archer transitioning into Fearless w the lover house burning down. The seven spoken word poem. Don’t Blame Me/LWYMMD w the bird cage. Wildest Dreams/Bad Blood w the lover house burning down again. Giant Anti Hero Taylor screaming at the audience to see her. The (closet) door descending during Karma. The Late Night Edition that’s available exclusively at the shows w “Dear Reader you’re losing me.” It’s all addressed to the fans. She’s done being a mirrorball trapped in a display case.

How long has Karlie had that double ear piercing? 👀 didn’t Taylor get new ear piercings also?

well karlie has had the 2nd piercing for a while now and got the top of her ear pierced in january 2020, so that makes 3!

and yes taylor has added some lovely new additions herself 😉

Throwback to those times when Taylor would openly mention Karlie in her music video bts interview, and what inspired her 😭🥹

T: My friend Karlie, when she walks the runway, you can tell she grew up doing ballet. Like, there's something so incredibly disciplined about them.

Then down to this moment for Lover performance - AMAs November 24/25th 2019 - days after she released Lover remix on November 13th (the day they officially met/bonded) with the snowglobe and lyrics saying "The girl in my story has always been you"

i don’t wanna keep this conversation going cause everybody has their own opinion, but last thing i’m gonna say. sorry, SR if this going back and forth.

from taylor’s songwriting we can tell that karlie wouldn’t have just “found another woman”. they are madly in love anon. they just clicked right away and had an unmatched attraction, you don’t just give that up like that. have you listened to The Great War, karlie had many opportunities to leave, but she chose not to cause she LOVES taylor.

also if you look in taylor’s discography as i said, hits different, question, dancing with our hands tied, etc etc that’s a person who is at ease with themselves when it comes to that specific thing. “you said there was nothing in the world that could stop it/ i had a bad feeling”

regarding the fake marriage, i get jerk is a criminal but i don’t get why would karlie at this point leave jerk and have another beard.. because maybe jerk was for her more of a secure, long term beard.

you see, not all celebrities love a long term beard, they just love to change and keep the wheel going. taylor was like this, but that was because she wasn’t in a stable relationship, she needed a long term beard to fit the love songs she would write about her hidden relationship so that people won’t try to know the truth. plus she wanted to bury her older “serial dater” reputation. and she successfully did.

so maybe karlie just felt this is suitable for the long run for her and taylor.

saying “why would karlie do that” makes me feel like you haven’t listened to taylor’s last four albums! 😅

also don’t forget how loud taylor was during lover then after the masters situation happened, she crawled into a hole again. do you think karlie has anything to do with that delay? it was all about taylor, not karlie.

also do you think karlie likes to be called a traitor, piece of shit, a crook who was caught etc etc? like what makes a human being want their reputation to be ruined except that they are in love and they have no other choice.

karlie had to burn herself to some degree to protect taylor.

taylor is a BIG entity. she is a brand and a company. i know she makes it look simple and fun, yet she is A WHOLE brand, anon.

karlie also is, but come on, is she on that level? ofc not.

also to the “brought jerk to the 1975” do you realize that they do that to make it look “less” questionable. taylor would have calvin around in so many places when karlie would be there.

plus beards hang out cause they are tied to a contract, anon. she can’t just ignore him. we wish, but karlie was signed to jerk before taylor.

also, i’m sure she had a “renew” moment and she did it cause there was no way they’re coming out and they just wanted to keep the image stable. it also makes karlie worlds away from taylor cause she isn’t bearding with an actor or musician. there would be very little chance that they could be in the same room.

also if taylor and karlie had plans of having a kid and it would be karlie who would get pregnant, she needs to be in a long term relationship to convincingly take that step with a beard. she won’t just do it with an artist she met 5 months before.

i’m pretty sure the jerk situation felt like the worst best choice for them to take so many step behind the scenes.

it’s fucked up, but it’s why they had.

all in all, i’m sure karlie has her fears, but i’m 1000% convinced she is more at ease with herself and would just take the leap, you know why?

cause she went with the fake feud plan and wasn’t scared it would make her lose support. i think she can face it.

ALSO “i should not be left to my own devices, they come with prices and vices, i end up in crisis/ i wake up screaming from dreaming, one day i’ll watch as you’re leaving/cause you got tired of my scheming, for the last time”

“you would break your back to make me break a smile”

“listen.. i hope i never lose you hope it never ends (..) baby i’m so terrified of if you ever walk away”

“i’m a mess, but i’m the mess that you wanted”

“what’s a life time of achievement if i pushed you to the edge but you were to polite to leave me and do you miss the rouge who coaxed you into paradise and left you there?”

“i cut off my nose just to spite my face and i hate my reflection for years and years”

i can go on and on, but those are some of taylor’s lyrics that scream “sorry i put you in that situation” and you know what? it’s okay if taylor isn’t ready, it’s fucking frightening, i understand. also karlie loves her and wants to support, so good for her.

oohh!! 😲🤭

Karlie Kloss via Instagram Stories

remember back when taylor released the CIWYW lyric video and towards the end the written lyrics suddenly don’t match the background vocals and instead of the “to” that’s written the background vocals said “karlie” and then some parts of the lyrics were white-outted out with hims and his’s written on top? yeah… conveniently inconstant, i know 😌

god i still can’t get over how she’s wearing the vsfs ring during this clip

Taylor performing Our Song as the surprise song on guitar 🎸 in LA on 8/4💚

She repeated this song even though she didn’t mess it up the first time she played it in Vegas night 1. She paired Our Song with Snow on the Beach that time.

She paired Our Song with YAIL this time around.

Vegas was also where Taylor first explained that she tries to choose the surprise songs based on how they connect thematically.

Yeehaw y’all 🤗🤠

I know we’ve talked about the locket in this city of lover art before, but have we talked about the dice that say 3/6?

I’m sure someone must have already pointed this out?? But I missed it until just now.

Can we talk about Karlie's doll house?

Coincidentally, it had the bedroom and bathroom on the same floor as the LOVER house. And a similar attic, too?!

What was the conclusion in 2020!? And now!? Looking back, it looks like the prototype of the LOVER house. Unless we believe that Karlie plays with dolls and/or built a house, which 2.5 years later we still don't know about. If she's sleeping on someone else's couch, that's still a weird coincidence.
