in a world where women empowerment is the thing. especially post barbie era. it's disappointing to see one of the most powerful women in the world succumb to a man for hype because he was persistent in trying with her. what kind of message is that? younger pop idols like billie eilish and olivia rodrigo are much more open with their possible gayness, without denials or having to hide behind *from a man's perspective*. they still achieve the numbers and sales. then there's taylor, doing another old PR tactic.
maybe it was never about hiding or scared that people won't accept her, but it's more she just can't get enough of the fame. she doesn't want to step down. she doesn't want to live her truth in exchange for not being on top. she isn't choosing her karlie again and again. she's just always gonna be like that huh? so disappointed. 1989 era was supposed to be the women empowerment era!
Comparing the love songs Taylor wrote about New York and how important of a location it is to her, like Cornelia Street, False God, Maroon, Coney Island, Daylight, Hoax, Welcome to New York, Delicate, Cardigan
How all of those songs have some of her most beautiful, romantic and heart wrenching lyrics.. how she is 100% talking about a lover who’s New York is as important to them as it is for Taylor, but on the other hand…
She is supposedly living in London with her “boyfriend” and the only song she wrote about London is just her listing some places that a TOURIST would visit, nothing romantic or beautiful or moving about. Places you can simply google. Like she is clearly saying she is only a tourist not a person who lives there.
Also The Lakes, a song about Taylor spending time or going on vacation with her lover to the Lake District, emphasizing that she is only a tourist and not someone who lives in the UK in any way.
Yet, the intimacy she writes about New York with, all the memories and secrets and moments shared on those New York streets and homes….. please how can someone not see that she never left New York? That her partner is a PART of this city and that’s why she is more attached to it and mesmerized by it.
Like in Cornelia Street when she says she rented a place on that street, supposedly with Toe. Taylor started “dating him” in 2016, which is the same time she rented the Cornelia place… but she says in the bridge…
“You hold my hand on the street, walk me back to that apartment, YEARS AGO, we were just inside. Barefoot in the kitchen, sacred new beginnings”
YEARS AGO… and she only date Toe at the time for a couple of months only, even if you wanna stretch it to a year, it still won’t work.
It seems like around 2016 Taylor and Karlie had a very important moment in their relationship, maybe a test, that made them even closer and strengthened their relationship and made them know it’s the end of all the endings.
Like how can people not see it…..
Just a little ask for Valentines 💌. Hope you’re all are having a wonderful day. 🫶🏼

"This is the rainiest rain show that ever rain showed, ever, ever, ever. Oh my god. We have every single person on the stage—is this going to work? It’ll be fine. I hope it works. It’ll be great.—all of my fellow, like, dancers and everybody else on the stage is just sort of like, ‘Oh my god,’ no one ever expects you’re going to basically perform like in a shower. It’s really very exciting. Yeah. Are you having a nice time too? So you know, you’re standing in the pouring rain with people, and you just kind of feel like this romantic sense of camaraderie. I was thinking about what song to play with you tonight and I was thinking, there’s this song from Midnights that I love so much, and I haven’t played it on this tour, or ever, so I figured, that could be fun to play with you. And I just—oh my gosh, this is insane—I kind of just feel like telling you, I don’t know, I have just never been this happy in my life, in all aspects of my life, ever before. And I just want to thank you for being a part of that. Like, you know, I don’t know, it’s not just the tour, it’s like. I don’t know, I just sort of feel like my life finally feels like it makes sense. And so I thought I’d play this song, which brings me a lot of happy memories."
— Taylor before playing Question...? (guitar) in Foxborough, MA on May 20th
I can’t believe she put this coder girl in the video iykyk
Taylor's last moment on stage. Behind her the mysterious door that came from above during "Karma". This reddit user points out that the moment is similar to The Truman show ending!
Truman is begged not to leave his life in the "fishbowl" behind - he's brought people joy and hope, and he has millions of fans counting on him. But he says his catchphrase one last time, stretches out his arms, and takes a final bow.
Taylor stands in front of the door and stretches out her arms to take a final bow before disappearing into the stage.
Truman makes the choice to leave behind the only life he's ever known -a life of comfort and safety, but ultimately a life of inauthenticity. He leaves for the unknown, for the unpredictable, for the chance at a real life. IF THAT WASN'T ENOUGH, before finding the door, Truman finds stairs leading up into the clouds. Sound familiar?
(Many have already pointed out that the ascent into the clouds also mirrors the cover for the lesbian magazine The Ladder - but perhaps there's a bit of both?)

Taylor singing Dress to Karlie
I also woke up to rewatching and finding new layers. Last night I thought it was pretty boring. Among other things, I’m intrigued by the idea that this coder girl seemed to be the villain. Her jailer. But then we find she’s the mastermind back in the van directing the escape.
That’s an interesting thought! She wasn’t the villain in the video but you mean all the years people suddenly came to this conclusion and hung on to it, and all the while she’s in the shadows (van) helping guide Taylor through it all. I think the use of ‘coder girl’ is very loud.
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. 🤷♀️
Me (a very solid kaylor / lsk) : this song is so GOOD WOW! I LOVE THIS!! More of this!!
Other Gaylors: *crying about how this is the end of kaylor* 🥴
