Taylor performing You Are In Love as the surprise song on piano 🎹 in LA on 8/4 💙 🥹
This performance made me so happy.
She was smiling so big throughout this whole song
You can hear it in the silence. You can see it with the lights out.
Imagine getting the whole crowd to scream You’re my best friend with you.
She unequivocally says “you can see HER with the lights out” during every single refrain. And the one time at the end she says it she repeated the line louder with HER.
Remember this is going in the tour doc.
so many signs
so i had this thing in the back of my mind that i wanted to share a little bit about, because i think it’s highlights a little bit of karlie’s easter egging prowess
so as many of you know, i have had a certain piece of jewelry identification that’s been top of mind for awhile. a mysterious (and hilarious) evil eye necklace that karlie first wore on her birthday last year, august 3rd, 2022:
it took a long while to identify but with the help of @kwyw and @corneliastvendor and input from many more, we diligently settled upon a match with the brand Mejuri.
so
…i dunno if you remember, but back at the beginning of the year @kwyw also pointed out that there was an extra connection, between this evil eye necklace and the amulette de cartier:
both talismans of Courage.
the amulette de cartier has its own place in kaylor lore (if it’s new to you you can read about that here and here and here). but, veterans of quarantine kaylor remember how this rep era necklace made a unique surprise appearance during lover/folklore era, ultimately coinciding with karlie’s 2020 pregnancy. which, given the symbolism of the necklace, i think made a lot of thematic sense… being pregnant during the height of a pandemic is scary and, speaking from experience, i as well found myself in search of things to give me that extra peace of mind.
so seeing the necklace have that Courage keyword connection, i couldn’t help but uhhh, have a feeling so peculiar. now, with the gift of more (celebratory) information, let’s take a look at all the times karlie has worn this necklace (*reminder that some of these may be a day off because of the big time zone difference between me and the US):
August 3rd, 2022 — (as pictured above) karlie’s birthday, she writes “cheers to new beginnings xx”
September 2nd, 2022 — this therabody promo, which many of us got a kick out of after midnights was announced, first because she mentions 3am (the name of the extra version of the album) and the word midnight and second because this tiktok is set to the tune of ABBA’s “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! A Man After Midnight”
November 19th, 2022 — a post captioned friyay, notably, wearing a loewe shirt, the designer who she wore to the met gala
December 11th, 2022 — to a celebratory kode with klossy event for her young scholars
December 13th, 2022 — she wore it as part of several instagram stories she had up on taylor’s bday (thank you @kwyw for the reminder 😆)
December 18th, 2022 — she posted this the same day as the photos of her josh and levi at the ice skating rink (and i think mikey and misha were there too? can someone confirm that for me) before heading to japan.
February 3rd, 2023 — february.jpg
and then, at the met gala on May 1st, wearing loewe, she announces her pregnancy, and tells everybody that she is nearly 8 months along!
now, if we are to assume that she is 8 months along this may, we can count back ( 7mo along in april, 6mo march, 5mo feb, 4mo jan, 3mo dec, 2mo nov, 1mo along in oct, 0mo sept) and see how in order to have conceived in september, prep for that would likely have started in… yes, the month before. august! aka… when she first debuted the evil eye necklace!
and when you look back at all the phrases and contexts accompanying her posts with the piece, you can kind of see how the necklace works in concert with her setting her intentions, potentially celebrating milestones like finding out, telling people, hitting the 5 mo mark which is when the majority of pregnancies become more stable, etc… this is all to say, and this is just a simple thing but, i feel confident in saying that this necklace was in fact one way of her hinting at her next child, since all the way back in august 2022 ☺️ and since it’s an eye necklace? well, 😌 all the more nice of a feeling.
Hello, I am a newbie to this riddle world and so fascinated - what is the history of this account? How do these secret helpers know to come here? I understand if you can't answer this openly, but I thought I'd ask just in case you can. So exciting to read back on what's happened so far. Thanks.
Hi!!! 👋 Welcome to our corner of the internet.
I am just a long time fan since the start of the 1989 era. I have been on tumblr for a long time after falling down the Kaylor rabbit hole 🐇🕳. The secret helpers come to this blog I presume due to my consistency (I am on here often and have been here through most of their story). So they seem to trust that I will share their messages. They send me codes so I know it is them and a troll cannot interfere.
Spade ♠️ was the first big secret helper we had. They visited the TayTaysBeard blog (often referred to as TTB). That blog had a huge following, but was deleted by Tumblr a few years ago. So I quickly started this one up in its place, naming it in honor of our secret source Spade ♠️.

Eventually, 🏴 anon started to visit us with messages:
🏴 MESSAGES
And, last week we had 🎃 Jack-O-Lantern stop by with a flurry of messages:

I am just a fan. And, for whatever reason, they chose this blog as their platform. I am honored! ☺️
Very KODED WITH KLOSSY 🧐
Not her coding 💀
im just going to throw it up here. .
maybe she wants a beard who she can get rid easily... where swifties will not rot for and be glad once its over. maybe just a short time. if Karlie is part of this too.. maybe up until the baby is born. or maybe they can have reunion or something during this bearding time..
i dont know if this will makes sense.. 😂
I’m trying to understand the rationale here. If this is a Tom-esk Bearding, why now? What was gained from breaking up with Toe? Anyone have any guesses to what’s being presented right now?
She did the heart over the left eye again on Sunday 👁️
i just can’t get over it
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
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.
