*Ahm ahm*

8/3 August 3rd

On the kissgate phone

Singing dancing with our hands tied

The giraffe emoji…..And when the music video is just a montage of these pictures then what

☀️🦶🏻💕

"... '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"

🌼❤☀️

the one night i go to bed during the show she plays would’ve, could’ve, should’ve and mine 😭

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?

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.
