“She Does A Killer Red Lip. I’ll Give That Girl Credit. She Can Whip A Red Lip On Like Nobody Else,

Taylor Swift really said “oh, this private life you’ve been watching? Yeah, its never not a performance from inside my fish bowl!” when she blew this popsicle stand.

“The only way for me to disappear (even while in said endless fishbowl that my life has become) is for me to envelop myself in this lavender haze.”

(Which she tells us is synonymous with her melancholia… so, sometimes that haze can loom over her as persistent sadness and ill-founded fears…)

But Taylor has been telling us that despite the sadness, fear, and sense of doom that comes with it, being with her star-crossed lover is the only shade of blue for her.

And gang, she recently framed this singular blue for us. It’s a “midnight blue,” according to Taylor.

Everyone lost their minds after she said the glitter puke and blood in the “Anti-hero” music video is “midnight blue,” but it wasn’t exactly just gaslighting.

It’s Taylor meditating on a theme in her life and art—a blue, a sadness,a melancholia that she feels most deeply in the dead of night, lying awake wondering about love, life, and who she is.

It’s also a blue in which she is submerged, in a fishbowl, in a haze, that is the only thing she really believes in despite the big hoax surrounding her (the idea that her lover’s love is faithless being the “Hoax”).

It’s the “true blue” of someone who knows her for her, is loyal, and dives into this life with her despite it all.

It’s the true blue she bleeds and the true blue that pours out when she spills her guts or the walls come down.

And it’s lavender.

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 😣

so to recap…

karlie had an Aupen Fearless Re-Edition bag and taylor had an Aupen Fearless Mini Nirvana bag!?

Matching/Similar bags from Aupen

Taylor's Nirvana bag + Karlie's Fearless bag

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.

“Don’t put me on display ‘cause you don’t own me. Don’t try to change me in any way”

“We twist in our self-made cages and pray that we aren’t—right this minute—about to make some fateful life-altering mistake… For all of us who have tossed and turned and decided to keep the lanterns lit and go searching—hoping that just maybe, when the clock strikes twelve… we’ll meet ourselves.”

The entire Eras Tour is a commentary on fame. It isn’t just abt her masters, it’s abt Taylor Swift the brand. It’s abt her finally deciding to put her happiness before her fans. Gaga’s Applause followed by You Don’t Own Me. The Archer transitioning into Fearless w the lover house burning down. The seven spoken word poem. Don’t Blame Me/LWYMMD w the bird cage. Wildest Dreams/Bad Blood w the lover house burning down again. Giant Anti Hero Taylor screaming at the audience to see her. The (closet) door descending during Karma. The Late Night Edition that’s available exclusively at the shows w “Dear Reader you’re losing me.” It’s all addressed to the fans. She’s done being a mirrorball trapped in a display case.

Submission:

🎃 is retelling the story of the failed coming out, the masters heist, the Kaylor break of 2019, the formulation of the new longer more gradual coming out plan, the folk/more era of exile, the Kaylor reunion, and presumably… what’s next.

Oh, and Toe dipping out before planned.

The HEEL of the 1st message is Taylor BEING the heel, another word for antihero. She is flying toward coming out with Me!, YNTCD, etc. But she as she speeds toward actually doing it, she becomes afraid of what life will look like on the other side. So she tries to walk it back, only to look like she’s queerbaiting.

The glass castle was in the Me! Video. The bicycles were also in that video. She changed her mind on coming out, got spooked, hesitated.

The museum heist is the masters heist. The mirror in the glass: he’s got my past frozen behind glass, but I’ve got me. Sounds like someone threatening to out her, perhaps around the same time/in connection to the masters heist. Maybe the someone she recognizes is Scooter or Scott B?

The kitchen is the war room; the new, longer coming out plan with Tree + co. Sounds like Toe dipped out earlier than intended and took some evidence with him. Or maybe someone else close to her betrayed her. The dandelion metaphor is about “private moments too close to the fence,” so it makes me feel the betrayal was someone in her circle. Since nothing penetrates her fence.

The yard message is about being too sloppy within her circle and private life. Someone got evidence that could hurt her/Karlie.

The jumping into the water feels like it’s from summer 2019, Taylor giving Karlie up to protect her (“the rubies that I gave up” — in the Bible, rubies symbolize a Good Wife)

This harkens back to spade’s message “without hesitation she bent down to pick up the pieces and cut herself…” I feel like we originally assumed Karlie was the one who cut herself so Taylor could be whole but what if it was the other way around??

Maybe Taylor gave Karlie up, agreed to an NYC exile, to protect her??

The being swept out to sea is the period where Taylor is shipwrecked.

And the woods is when she finds the cabin in the woods, sends the signal to Karlie and they reunite in secret a la Willow. This is the folklore/evermore era. This story is all laid out in Evermore.

It also sounds like Karlie didn’t want Taylor to go; she would rather have hurt her image than lose her. So Taylor giving her up was sort of a romantic, heroic gesture… which really is what Lover felt like. Like letting someone go that you don’t want to. But having to bite your tongue and publicly be the antihero.

ALSO, a story in 11 parts then leaves 1: midnights.

It’s 11pm on the clock.

Oh, I see the vision… 🤭

oohh!! 😲🤭
