The visuals in this scene are clear references to a moment in Frozen 2 where Elsa makes a major transformation.
Elsa is singing the song "Show Yourself." The lyrics are very reminiscent of Taylor's "meet me at midnight" sentiment.
I have always been a fortress
Cold secrets deep inside
You have secrets, too
But you don't have to hide
The song builds and builds with the theme of meeting your true self.
The scene shows Elsa aligning all the jewels just right while singing "don't make me wait one moment more!"
And the entire world opens up
It is at this point that she transforms.
Show yourself
Step into the power
Grow yourself
Into something new
You are the one you've been waiting for
All of my life
All of your life
Oh, show yourself
So let's assume the sparkle represents Taylor's true self (as she's shown us again and again in other mvs) and the cloak references reputation (using a self made shield to hide your true self), then on floor 3 she removes the cloak and affixes larger colorful jewels directly to her body. When she enters floor 5, she's already super confident and dripping in diamonds.
My theory is that Taylor will transform herself in the public's eye during the Speak Now tv, to allow her to fully step into 1989 tv era with confidence, and as her true self.
Some thoughts from twitter 🙌🏻
Coffee for Two...
"Tea for Two..."
😏
sometimes the universe
...just says it shall be...
i mean seriously... can you believe this pic of karlie existed back in... august 2012?? with a gold heart covering over the other side of her face??? like...?!?! between this and the sweet escape coincidence unearthed by @daydreamlibertine i am truly beside myself
thanks to @blogbeautiffulthings for this truly hidden gem!! i can’t believe i’ve never seen it.
here’s more from the photoshoot that it is from:
karlie seems to be wearing her jennifer meyer initial necklace in this shoot as well.
really i’m just enamored by karlie showing off some very rare left-side eye 😂 and also like, it’s at such a particularly good angle...
...so naturally 🙈 i took the liberty of flipping it, zapping the saturation, and overlapping:
what a fit!
also it kind of reminded me of something
a taymoji of taylor in a hoodie, oddly misplaced within the I Did Something Bad pack
hark...!
is that a crack of the knuckles over a keyboard that i do hear? why yes concerned reader, i am aware this hoodie references a particular preexisting look of taylor’s. no, concerned reader, i am not aiming to say that this taymoji is meant to reference this one time back in 2012 when karlie modeled a black hoodie. after all this is a taymoji quite squarely of the:
gucci look from the lwymmd video.
that’s right.

*postscript*
also like, in rewatching the behind the scenes for this scene why does taylor go out of her way to make a scene out of one of the guys that has a hole cut out of his tie?
lmao… is Louis Vuitton really still addressing her as “mademoiselle karlie kloss” in 2021?
They must be skimming right over the ‘marriage and two weddings’ that’s mentioned in every single karlie article 😂
karlie, are you hinting? You knew our kaylor asses would zoom in on that like we did last time…
Sappho (trans. Anne Carson), Fragment 147 // Taylor Swift, “Long Live”
In the folklore: the long pond studio sessions, before singing the lakes, Taylor said “we’d gone to the lake district in England, a couple of years ago” without explaining the “we” word.
The interview was taken in 2020, so “a couple of years ago” means:
Taylor and the person, in my opinion, her lover, went to the Lake District in 2017 or 2018.
While the lyrics of invisible string says
bold was the waitress on our three-year trip getting lunch down by the Lakes she said I looked like an American singer

TO UKRAINIAN FRIENDS
If you are looking for an emergency exit from Ukraine, Poland will open EIGHT safety points on the border with Ukraine (you will get warm food, medical help and from there you will be guided to safety) in two of our voivodeships: lubelskie and podkarpackie. It is confirmed by the Polish Secretary of State in the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, Paweł Szefernaker.
