Easily in my top favorite performances from this tour.

*wink* there goes the loudest woman this town has ever seen
Hey guys? Remember this iconic Delicate moment during the Amazon Prime concert? And how no one could figure out who she was singing to once she spotted them?
Okay, so, they only showed the balcony twice during that specific performance.
The first half of the song, we get this shot with no one of interest standing there:
And right after she serenades... whoever it was during the bridge, we get this shot:
Now, I'm not saying it's a certain Tall Girl/Giraffe, but I'm not not saying it.
The location is right in line...
Bonus spot the difference game:
Maybe it's a certain giraffe (she IS tall...), maybe it's not. But it ain't Joe, I think we can say that. 🤷♀️
Meet me at midnight…
…for the Lavender Haze music video premiere (!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

The giraffe emoji…..And when the music video is just a montage of these pictures then what
Karlie had an Instagram post from 7/1/2020 “let’s do another running challenge” 😵💫
Oh those running challenges/calendars she posted on her stories before folklore came out. I remember that 🙃
I feel so silly for not noticing this before?? I haven’t seen anyone in tumblr bring up these parallels

Thanks for this link @thefvckingswanqueen . I never noticed the Baz Luhrman tag too! 😲
Wait, i think there was a really good post days ago about something like this! Of TS x The Great Gatsby! I just can't remember which blog (if anyone has a link? 😭)
Sidenote: I guess i love how apparent F. Scott Fitzgerald's (author of The Great Gatsby) influence is to Taylor, which we could see through her work! The parallels in some of the songs, and the Daisy theme ☺️
Songs:
Feeling so Gatsby for the whole year - TIWWCHNT
Don't blame me love made me crazy ... Lord save me my drug is my baby I've been using for the rest of my life .. Halo, hiding my obsession - Don't Blame Me
(Taylor's fav quote from This Side of Paradise by Fitzgerald)
I once was Poison Ivy, but now I'm your daisy - Don't Blame Me
There are 2 stories by Fitzgerald where the main love interest was named Daisy: Daisy Buchanan (The Great Gatsby) + Daisy Fuller (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - Benjamin the cat's namesake too!)
I hope she'll be a beautiful fool, who takes my spot next to you - Happiness
All you want from me now is the green light of forgiveness - Happiness
The line from Daisy Buchanan "a fool, that's the best thing a girl can be in this world". The green light can be a reference to a traffic light, but also to the Green Light symbolism in The Great Gatsby ...
And if i'm not mistaken, Fitzgerald was also a veteran - WWI (The Great War) - as is Jay Gatsby!
Some people, pretty much: "Excuse me, but having Austin hang out with Josh days before the 2016 election is NOT something I've ever wanted Taylor to be involved with, is my copy of Taylor Swift Dating Sim: Gay Edition broken or something?! I want a refund!"
i’m guessing they wouldn’t like how she sang at mikey and karlie’s bday in the hamptons that august either,
people hate things that aren’t black and white, i guess
I just would like to bring up this heavenly cover, (if you haven’t watched her cover of this you need to) because I have many things to say after reading comments, and just watching it.
(This cover aired October, 2014)
I love that she’s so “straight” that not only did she not change the pronouns, but her and the interviewer said the song was from a woman’s perspective.
Let’s simply go through the lyrics shall we? Here’s a little key for my OCD babes reading my complicated explanation 😘
Orange: Karlie
Pink: Taylor
Blue: 1989
Green: evermore
I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations
Taylor was scared of pretty girls, does that sound like any supermodel we know?
This guy decides to quit his job and heads to New York City
Taylor quit her life back home in Pennsylvania & Nashville and headed to New York City, and lived near who? Cornelia street anyone?
This living situation obviously resulted in quite the album called “1989”.
This video came out on October 9th, 2014, it was obviously promo for 1989 which came out October 27th, 2014.
We obviously know and realize that part of 1989 is about Diana Aragon and Taylor’s relationship with her.
We also realize that by the time both this interview and 1989 came out Taylor had publicly known Karlie for 11 months.
However this Victoria’s Secret fashion show⬇️ was actually taped in November of 2013, so they had officially known each other almost a full year privately.
So the way she didn’t change any pronouns and was so happy singing it because of this lack of change, implys her happiness with whatever relationship they had going on. Whether that be platonic or romantic.
This cowboy's running from himself
Taylor is running from herself and the pain she caused herself with her last relationships. And of course Incidentally references her not yet planned 9th studio album.
And the song called “cowboy like me”
You're a cowboy like me, Perched in the dark
Telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hear
Eyes full of stars
Hustling for the good life (fame +riches)
Never thought I'd meet you here (at a VS fashion show? 😏)
It could be love
Wonder who that songs about… anyway-
And she's been living on the highest shelf
Karlie is a supermodel, she makes bank, and gets the highest tier treatment.
Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen
(Michelle pfeiffer left, karlie kloss right)
A little bit self explanatory why this cover wasn’t done just for promo isn’t it?
Taylor communicates with us. People just don’t listen.
