Champagne Problems Mother’s Day Speech

You know everyone talks about how in love Taylor is with Karlie, but we, well me at least, never though about how in love Karlie is with Taylor. I know it’s mostly because Taylor writes and sings all these songs about her. All we really have are the moments Karlie has talked or gushed about Taylor. But we also have all the photos of Karlie looking at Taylor like the sun rises and sets with her. The post earlier on here made me think about this.

Tell me more about New Year’s Day

Ok, it is a long read, written half drunk (excellent  Monbazillac straight outta Dorgogne)  not gonna edit the train of thoughts, so here you go:

When Taylor talked about this song, she said she found the “inspiration” in new years eve parties and how the day after you stay with the one you share your life with to clean the mess and spend the day in peace, in private which is a huge contrast with the partying.Here is how I read it. This song wraps up the album. But imo, in taylor private life it describes her transition from NYE its glitter and polaroid aka the 1989 era with the social media and media overexposure, the girls squad, the friends, the parties, the outings. “you and me from the night before”: everything they lived during this phase in life that she is about to put behind her.She is scared because she doesn’t know what the reaction of the person she’s singing for would be if they get to the last page of the book she is about to close, will that person stay for the next one?This is almost the only song in which she talks about doubts coming from the other person because they are both scared. She says she wants the celebrations but she’d also stick to do life’s mundane tasks when the lights are out, and by that I think it means the beginning of her blackout phase.Verse 2 is where they start putting this plan en route, their taxi ride. It is a very interesting non verbal exchange, the other person squeezing her hand is a sign of reassurance, one that is done by someone who doesn’t need words to say what you need to hear, your long term SO, your BFF or a close family member. She replies that even if this trip is long, she is not going anywhere and will be there for the worst and for better times alike.In the post chorus and the bridge, I think she is preparing her love interest for a difficult part. A part where they will probably be physically separated from each other for longer periods than they are used to before. Thus asking the person to hold on to the memories they shared together (3 times. you can stretch and reach and say it corresponds to 3 years relationship before the blackout if you feel like it, I don’t make the rules). And then she tells her love interest that if they hold on to these memories she will hold on to them as a pair. She is not leaving, she is just retreating.She is asking them not to forget her and this relationship she is trying to keep during this new phase of life, where their separate lives would probably be less in sync than before. She knows her lover like the back of her hand and could not stand the idea of them becoming strangers.Overall, at first I did not pay attention to the depth of it I really just thought she was describing the aftermath of a party. But she is not. Wouldn’t you expect a mention of alcohol here (in Taylor’s most alcohol-drenched album)? well surprise, there is none. Because it is not describing an actual party, but her transition from the 1989 to the Rep era and wanting her partner to cross that bridge with her. Some sort of “through thick-and-thin promise” in a form of a soft ballad. It also strikes me as a narrative of a long term relationship where two people are settled in a certain lifestyle and they are about to make a drastic change due to what life throws at them and they are maybe hesitantly walking to their destination but holding hands firmly.So that’s my meta-analysis and very liberally done interpretation of this song. It was a head-scratcher for me, she wrote it and recorded it quite fast and felt that THIS is the song that should wrap up an album she called reputation with and that she is releasing after she completely turned her public life around. And this is how it made sense to me.

The ‘Kiss-gate’ likes:

On 4th December 2014, Taylor and Karlie attended The 1975’s concert at Terminal 5 in New York (accompanied by Lily Aldridge, Martha Hunt, the Haim sisters and, for a short while, Josh Kushner.) This evening, which plausibly was intended to establish a public frame of reference for Taylor’s subsequent relationship with Matt Healy — the groundwork for which was being laid throughout November (see: here , here and here) —  became notorious, when video was posted online purporting to show (an obviously inebriated) Taylor kissing Karlie.  

Over the course of the same evening a total of 146 posts were liked by Taylor’s tumblr account. Notably, 26 of these concerned her relationship with Karlie, of which 13 were photos and/or gifs of their appearance together at VSFS on 2nd December. They are as follows below:

[NB: ‘likes’ generally related to Karlie are (in the process of being) collected here.]

Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die. I don’t belong, and my beloved, neither do you.

Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry. I’m setting off, but not without my muse.

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.

A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground with no one around to tweet it. I bathe in cliffside pools with my calamitous love and insurmountable grief.

"She truly believes whatever is meant to be, will be, and knows everything happens for a reason"...

This speech is interesting... very interesting. Yeah, she's The Mastermind. 😏

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.
