TIMELESS (KAYLOR'S VERSION)

Yesss!! 🥹

Shut up, I didn’t know she did the freaking point too. 🙈

(x)

It’s only been two shows but there’s something about Taylor that stood out to me watching her perform. Like she is visibly at peace and confident in who she is and her agency as an artist and the ability for her to command a room or stadium of 70,000 people… she’s an enigma.

I think there’s an obvious knowingness when you look at her that she is at peace in her life away from the public eye and that carries over into her persona on stage. But still, they’re two separate things.

I’m just really happy for her and proud of her.

yeah never getting over it and karlie being in the audience

It's 3am and I'm sobbing over this.

🎃The JackOLantern Anon Connections In The Karma Music Video 🎃

Okay, just earlier today I did a post like this with the connections between JackOLantern’s messages and You’re Losing Me….but now the Karma music video is out and I AM LOSING MY SHIT. I’m 113% certain there’s things I’m missing, BUT OH WELL.

-

🎃 Message 3: “Somersaulting past ancient artifacts, stopping only to admire a statue or two. ” 

(Note: this scene transitions by Taylor leaning over and the camera spinning in a circle to begin the next scene…kind of a somersault.)

(also, wasn’t there just recently a big, long post about the justice tarot card relating to flag anon and that infamous betty/lavender haze mad men episode?)

-

🎃 Message 8: “You have always craved destruction. Scrawled devil horns on photos of yourself. This is different.”

🎃 Message 3 “Dressed in your wife’s black leather and the mask of an illusionist” 

(Note: @9w1ft​ has a great post on how similar Taylor’s outfit here is to Karlie’s met gala look….👀) (2nd Note: This message from 🎃 ends with the main character striking a match…this scene from the music video is very….flame-y.)

One more thought on this one…

🎃 Message 11: “Sheep have removed their wolf’s clothing with relief. Masqueraders with masks removed…”

(This line always stuck out to me in JackOLantern’s last big message. Usually the phrase is reversed “A wolf in sheep’s clothing.” Which suggest a predator pretending to be prey for a chance to attack. “Sheep in wolf’s clothing” would mean prey pretending to be a predator…perhaps to avoid being attacked by the other wolves? Did pumpkin anon just put into words what being closeted feels like PERFECTLY? Holding that line from their message up to this scene, where taylor is behind the mask of a devil….and then smiles and waves once she takes it off…..i’m thinking sooo many thoughts about this.)

-

this one has LAYERSSS so bear with me!

in this scene, not only does it have a flourishing garden with patches of daisies…it also has a castle on the hill that she has wandered far away from, happy-go-lucky childlike body language, AND wizard of oz imagery….

🎃 Message 4: “The story of the person behind the curtain.” 

(HELLO WIZARD OF OZ?!?!?!)

🎃 Message 7: “You are walking through your yard. It’s one of your favorite places, all sprawling garden rows and vibrant green grass […] There are daisies - so many daisies - in every shade of your rainbow.” 

(Note: These daisies in the video are pink + gold…..literally lesbian flag colors. All the flowers in this scene are……)

🎃 Message 7: “…and set your foot on each stepping stone of the path that leads right to them. The house is a little farther now…”

(Note: The castle can be seen in this scene way in the background, up on a hill. ALSO, she is following a brick road….aka a stone path….I MEAN)

*BONUS!  🎃 Message 2: “You are on the balcony of an ice castle.”

🎃 Message 7: “…but you are still within the confines of your tall and impenetrable fence. Nothing comes through that fence. Not now and not ever. Within it you are safe.”

(This feels the way the fence is described in JackOLantern’s story…with all good, safe, unbothered things on one side, and unknown depths of darkness on the other….also the 3 grim reapers are an…interesting choice….)

🎃 Message 7: “Caught up in a moment of buoyant childlike whimsy, you make a wish and blow, blow, blow. Hundreds of featherly florets scatter. You laugh. You watch as they ride the breeze…”

(I MEAN COME ON!!! She is skipping around with a very childlike, lighthearted body language, and then she freaking blows purple glitter over TOWARDS HER ENEMIES……..!!!)

also worth noting that there is a little rabbit hidden in the garden…weren’t there some epic alice in wonderland connections made to JackOLantern recently? 🤔

-

🎃 Message 10: “You wander through the woods. Deep in this Enchanted Forest […] You squint to make sense of your surroundings through the fog…”

(This one isn’t exact…but to have clouds/fog descending onto a thick wilderness/mountain/forest scene……..it’s all just really delicate, you know?)

-

Note: the entire boat/pirate/nautical message + Ice Spice has a lyric that mentions waving white flags - which brings to mind pirates and surrender for me personally. (which is….exactly what that message was about. the main character surrendering herself to the bad guys.)

-

🎃 message 9:  “And now it is just a matter of time. The dripping of candle wax. The ticking of a clock.”

(Note…including their final goodbye message, we received 12 messages from JackOLantern….like the hours on a clock…)

-

THAT IS ALL I CAN SPOT RIGHT NOW. MY BRAIN IS EXPLODING. OH MY GOD. @spade-riddles​

apparently e!news (the rundown) did a feature on the squad and this was Karlie’s segment 🫠

https://x.com/maroonmenacee/status/1703397034840006882?s=46&t=LGcNQeROk2Xvik2vAJqzmA

this was the same woman that said nothing gets past tree a couple weeks ago 🫠

👀

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.

god i still can’t get over how she’s wearing the vsfs ring during this clip

The End of the Video

Something I haven’t seen mentioned yet is the implications of how after Taylor climbs into the lavender haze cloud at the end of the video, the cloud *poofs* and mid disappearance, the video cuts to black.

Is the public persona Taylor disappearing/being killed off?

Others have already pointed out that this Taylor is in the same outfit (lesbian flag knit top) as one of the Taylors in Anti-Hero, and appears to possibly represent the public persona Taylor (a theory that is reinforced by this Taylor performing pda for the cameras and the crowd in party scene of this mv).

After the party scene, when the house is empty, the same Taylor starts deconstructing the space, revealing it to be some kind of set. First she rips open the shades over the window, then she starts pushing the walls down.

As the walls fall, she sits in the center of a lavender cloud, with koi fish swimming through the surrounding cosmos.

Then she pulls the cloud over her head like a down comforter, and the cloud begins to dissipate, quickly, before the video cuts to black and ends.

With the cloud, this version of Taylor disappears as well. Which is already interesting. Then you consider that what she leaves behind is midnight blue sky full of koi fish (which supposedly represent being proudly out in Japan)….

It’s a bold interpretation, but it’s also a bold sequence, a bold video, after two other bold videos, and 20 very bold songs.

I believe pretty strongly that she will stay in the glass closet until she can tell her whole truth, and has a strong chance of making a considerable difference in the industry as a result, so I’m not saying I think this means she’s going to come out tomorrow, but i do think it means something. Maybe it’s just to send a message to those who haven’t gotten it yet? Maybe it means she’ll stay in the glass closet but drop the beard soon? Who knows, I just love how loud it is.
