Taylor's Betty Speech (June 10):
And you know when I would try and come up with their names, it was just easiest for me to pull names from my real life. The names that were actually named after real people that I love very much were James, Inez and Betty!
all smiles during timeless!
I keep rewatching the mastermind performance over and over again and it’s so loud because Taylors telling this story with her whole chest. It’s interesting to pay attention to the movements that are happening. She’s playing puppet master with the ‘playthings for her to use’. They follow her every command. All the pieces fall right into place/dominoes cascading in a line because it was all her doing… the mastermind. None of it was accidental, don’t you love that? The metaphor of it all.

Daisy theme, Karlie? Really? I swear if this baby is named Daisy?? I mean, that specific flower was a choice! Especially AFTER Taylor wore all them damn daisies this week. Also, you know the shower was planned way before this past week. 😄
isn’t that something?
yeah never getting over it and karlie being in the audience
TIMELESS (KAYLOR'S VERSION)

I’m just thinking about how it sounds like she’s saying “Karlie would you want to” throughout the entire song and how Karlie’s favorite TS song is Love Story. In this case the title of the song sounds like a proposal for them to run away together—“Karlie would you want to....would you run away w me? ‘Yes’”

Welp, Taylor has cause a new ship for the flaky gaylors who thinks she dates everyone she steps out with.
😏
Not that I would be against Sophie and Taylor, but damn, Gaylors are just as bad as hetlors and the media.
lord how many ships does tophie make 💀
Taylor literally told you everything in the bridge of this song three years ago and y’all just let it slide.
“With every guitar string scar on my hand I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover. My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue. All's well that ends well to end up with you.” - Lover
She starts out
“With every guitar string scar on my hand I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover.”
She’s saying she’s choosing to take this person with every bit of baggage they have because she knows this person has done the same for her.
Then she says one of the best yet simplest word plays:
“My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue. All's well that ends well to end up with you.”
Why is it the best? Because you gift something borrowed and something blue to brides. So her heart is this person. And “yours” is her describing her heart which her person has. She’s literally saying my heart (my person) has been borrowed by someone else and it makes me blue. Said differently they have each others’ heart. So the possession describes the person.
We can also look at Cruel Summer where she again tells you she is the blue where she says “it’s blue this feeling I got”
To flesh it out further think of Paper Rings: “I’m with you even if it makes me blue.” Taylor’s the one who is blue.
She even says it in invisible string “Time, wondrous time gave me the blues and then purple pink skies.”
We can look at hoax drawing the same distinction with the following lyric: “You have beaten my heart. Don't want no other shade of blue but you. No other sadness in the world would do.” She is describing that she’s okay with this blue feeling because she loves this person who’s borrowed unconditionally.
We can even jump to evermore (the song) where she touches on this gray sky imagery that she uses to describe hoax in the Long pond studio sessions. She says “Gray November I've been down since July.” This is literally the follow up to Cruel Summer where as stated above she describes her feeling as blue. But she ends evermore with hope. She is enduring this and holding on to the feeling (the faith) that this won’t last forever.
I just love the Lover bridge.
