Yes! Acceptance Is Key...

I took a pic of joe and well these aren’t his feet.

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 🤗🤠

the birds eye view shot on the screen here was so…

sure, we could all focus on analyzing taylor’s work through the lens of queer history, but, why stop at analyzing history? ☺️ why not make it?

okay so we have been talking about how misty goes over to taylor during certain parts of the song but i was just watching a recording online where they distort the sound to avoid copyright conflict and so i was watching the performance purely visually and not trying to think about the connection to the lyrics and it’s quite literally that

the ballerina keeps trying to run to taylor in between stunts

but she always has to go back to the man so they can perform another maneuver..

her performance with the man keeps pulling her away 😣

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?

one of taylor’s looks in this music video is like literally karlie’s met gala costume 😭

Do with it what you will 😇
