You Know Everyone Talks About How In Love Taylor Is With Karlie, But We, Well Me At Least, Never Though

So ur telling me Taylor was flew straight to NYC from Liverpool where she was filming a mv and OF ALL THE PLACES SHE COULDVE GONE she specifically chose a place that’s a) in the West Village, b) 1 block away from Stonewall, and c) 3 blocks away from Cornelia St where just a day before swifties were acting like a bunch of immature children????? Not to mention this is her first outing of this sort in YEARS???? Seems like she’s trying to send a message idk

In my Eras era. 💅

“Okay so, really, any time I’m even going to talk about, or reference another artist, I feel inclined to tell you that they’re not here. No one else is here, it’s just me, you’re stuck with me. But I am going to talk about another artist, because I feel like stadiums are huge, and it’s important to really communicate, so that’s what I’m doing. I’m going to talk about another artist, who has an album that just came out, and it’s so cool. The National just had an album come out! This band has influenced me beyond my ability to verbalize how much they’ve influenced me, just lyrically, their ability to set a scene, their ability to tell stories. And obviously Aaron Dessner is in The National, and he has completely changed my life. Yeah, so I was lucky enough to be able to write a song with them for their new album, which is called The First Two Pages Of Frankenstein. Check it out, stream it, buy it on vinyl! And I love them so much. They’ve been so kind to me, and so I’m not going to sing the song that we have on this new album. It’s called The Alcott—check that out, though. But I am going to sing Coney Island.”

I once again come to you as the Kaylor jewelry expert with a detailed question.

When did Karlie start wearing the Cartier onyx necklace? I know she wore it to the rep tour show in Nashville in August 2018, but was she seen wearing it before that?

hi anon! thank you for the question 😌

back in june 2018 karlie went on a back to back trip to japan and then shanghai. she can be seen wearing the amulette de cartier in japan (josh was there) from june 11th, if you look closely through her instagram stories. she’s more clearly documented wearing it in shanghai starting on june 15th (she was alone for this leg).

her engagement was announced a little more than a month later. iirc, there was word on the street (online rumors) a few weeks before it was announced on july 24, that they were getting engaged. i guess that if you were to believe this official narrative, you might think the amulette was an engagement gift from josh that she could wear without the news getting out by wearing her ring. but my goodness, a symbol of protection during difficult times seems to be an odd choice as an engagement present (who pops the question with a necklace that’s a lucky charm made for times that require strength of heart against all odds?!)

so I’m sure you can see how this lends itself perfectly to the kaylor narrative.

*to provide some meta context, their trip to japan was at the time very painful for kaylors. the two were acting lovey dovey at a time when many were convinced they were about to break up, and they appeared very intimate (had holding/cheek kissing) with each other in ways they really hadn’t in years prior. i think at the time, some saw this bump in pda as writing on the wall that an engagement rather than a breakup was coming. at the time i was a holdout but in hindsight, given the symbolic value of the amulette, it feels that way. btw all this was happening right after taylor got very very loud in spring 2018, when rep tour started and she debuted the rainbow dress and delicate pride speech and we had the caticorn rainbow ad, and so it was distressing at the time how it was like one step forward, two steps back for kaylor. but in hindsight, sheesh, simpler times!

so karlie wore the amulette a whole lot between the end of june and end of sep 2018. most memorably, i would say, to NYC pride and of course when she went to rep tour nashville.

iirc the last time she was seen wearing it in 2018, on sept 28 2018? and she changed her IG profile picture to a picture with her wearing it, and it stayed like that for what feels like it was about a year. then of course we have taylor’s october 2018 AMA performance where there was this big set piece that looked so much like the amulette.. and a nod to it in 2019 as the little peephole on the door to the lover house

while it remained karlie’s profile picture for a long time, karlie didn’t post new photos of her wearing it again until march 2020, another time of difficulty for her with her fans (controversies about her kushner/white house connections in the early days of the pandemic and in an election year) she continued wearing it off and on, notably during her pregnancy, including in the pregnancy announcement video.

so yeah, you can see how these two periods of time have some thematic similarities for her—pivotal life moments both taking things to a new level—and how the amulette and everything it stands for just adds to the symbolism of it all… 🫠

Karlie 🥹❤️

I love Karlie so much. You guys know. In the trenches for her forever. Never in my wildest dreams did I think we’d get to this day like this. She deserves nothing but the best time tonight 🤍

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 haven't seen anyone point out yet that the speak now art literally goes from dark to light... turn it over and step into the daylight

Oooh interesting:

all smiles during timeless!

☀️🦶🏻💕

"... '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"

🌼❤☀️

I saw this tweet earlier today saying Karlie is now being shown under the cast of Miss Americana with (voice) beside her name. Note: shes the only one that says (voice). And considering that Karlie’s voice in CIWYW is THE Kaylor lore for the documentary… 👀

So, I checked myself and sure enough, she is!

I also checked the FAQ’s to see if just anyone (aka fans) can change or add someone and that doesn’t seem to be the case, especially with how widely used IMDb is in the industry.

(For some personal context, I’m a massive Kate McKinnon fan, so I saw the Ghostbusters 2016 release and the reactions from the dude bros in real time. Not one person changed anything there. But they did brigade the scoring with 1 star reviews before the movie even came out.)

Now, here’s something even more interesting. I copied the full cast IMDb link into the Wayback Machine website and the last capture was June 16th of this year. Karlie is not listed there.

Which means this was added some time between then and now… and guess what happened in the middle of that? Oh, yeah. Karlie showing up to the eras tour. 🤭

Here’s some videos that show why we 100% believe it’s Karlie’s voice:
