“She does a killer red lip. I’ll give that girl credit. She can whip a red lip on like nobody else, and it’s amazing. Even if we’re working out, she’ll have on this gorgeous red lip. She’s not human! You know, I think I would end up having red lip from ear to ear. I’m not as graceful with a red lip as she is.” —Karlie Kloss on Taylor Swift’s 💋

hey I'm pretty new to gaylor stuff and am just wondering, why are the daisy socks important? Just wannna know how crazy I should be going over this lol
Hi and welcome to the gaylorverse!! 🤗 The daisies are one of the most obvious pieces of gaylor/kaylor evidence and they were the nail in the coffin for me when I first fell down the rabbit hole 🌼
It all started when Karlie and Taylor took a trip to Big Sur, California in early March 2014. They took a bunch of pics of their trip and this daisy makes a cameo in many of them (you can search “big sur” on my blog to read more abt it). The most important of these pics is the one where Karlie tags Taylor as the daisy on the dashboard and captions it w “best road trip ever.” This is referenced in Don’t Blame Me—“I once was poison ivy but now I’m your daisy.” Also “trip of my life” is a double entendre here bc she’s not only talking abt tripping on drugs but also abt this road trip. To add more evidence to this theory the original handwritten lyrics include a drawing of a daisy that looks exactly like the one on the dashboard w the same positioning and all.
Plus Karlie was a literal VS angel hence all the angel/heaven imagery in Don’t Blame Me and many other songs—“Halo hiding my obsession / I would fall from grace just to touch your face / Lord save me” // “Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes” // “I know heaven’s a thing, I go there when you touch me,” etc. And when she was making the song (1:00 of this vid) she said she wanted it to sound religious.
She mentioned in this vid that she has repeatedly used clothing and jewelry as easter eggs over the yrs which is why the daisy socks are a big deal. She’s extremely intentional w everything she does (she’s a mastermind after all) so it’s unlikely this is all a coincidence. She still uses daisies in her art and wears lots of clothes w daisies to this day which is one of many indicators that they probs haven’t broken up. Here’s a great post showing many of these instances. Here are some other times she’s worn daisies: (x)(x)(x)(x). There are countless other times daisies have shown up but I don’t have time to cover them all.
Fletcher and Kelsea Ballerini, who are Taylor’s friends and were invited to her after party not long ago, also took a trip to Big Sur in 2022 where they took a pic identical to the 2015 Vogue photoshoot pic and Polaroid shown above. This photoshoot was a recreation of their 2014 Big Sur trip. See here and here. This issue was released on Galentines Day, the same day Style was released as a single.
Also, Girl in Red recently mentioned at the eras tour that Serotonin, which has the lyrics “put me in a field with daisies,” was Taylor’s most listened to song. Taylor gifted her a painting she made w these exact lyrics.
PrimaFacieERA on twitter noticed that taylor wore the angel wing ring to a very notable event…
👼 to Lorde’s birthday party (November 7th, 2016)
we can estimate that the rings were first given out by VS to their Angels in early november 2016, as per several social media posts done by Angels showcasing the ring on Nov 1st and 2nd. so from this we can tell that taylor got the ring and wore it pretty much straight away, the same week it was first given out, to a party that she herself threw.
and i thought it was worth mentioning then that taylor was in fact wearing the ring in this photo:
we just were never able to see it 😌
so this is both the first time she ever publicly wore the angel wing ring, and also the last time her and karlie were seen together until rep tour nashville 2018. a fitting way to mark the beginning of the ~love blackout~ as it were.
👼 here’s the updated masterpost:
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.
The first song was to get your attention. The second deserves another listen…or two, or three. - 🪩

The giraffe emoji…..And when the music video is just a montage of these pictures then what
people are still surprised at how far taylor could go when referencing karlie, when she literally made a king of my heart puzzle with 252 pieces on november 25, 2018, which counts exactly 252 days to karlie's birthday. (x) || Woooow! 😮 🖤 👑 🥹
Is this the end of all the endings? Reputation puzzle.
Why haven't I seen the "King of My Heart" puzzle before? 🥹
The puzzle
😘💪🏼
God!!! 🙈 I'm still trying to figure out how Taylor managed to once again get away with such a blatant Karlie reference. 😝

“Don’t put me on display ‘cause you don’t own me. Don’t try to change me in any way”
“We twist in our self-made cages and pray that we aren’t—right this minute—about to make some fateful life-altering mistake… For all of us who have tossed and turned and decided to keep the lanterns lit and go searching—hoping that just maybe, when the clock strikes twelve… we’ll meet ourselves.”
The entire Eras Tour is a commentary on fame. It isn’t just abt her masters, it’s abt Taylor Swift the brand. It’s abt her finally deciding to put her happiness before her fans. Gaga’s Applause followed by You Don’t Own Me. The Archer transitioning into Fearless w the lover house burning down. The seven spoken word poem. Don’t Blame Me/LWYMMD w the bird cage. Wildest Dreams/Bad Blood w the lover house burning down again. Giant Anti Hero Taylor screaming at the audience to see her. The (closet) door descending during Karma. The Late Night Edition that’s available exclusively at the shows w “Dear Reader you’re losing me.” It’s all addressed to the fans. She’s done being a mirrorball trapped in a display case.
Has anyone done a masterpost of the blurry background home clips from the Lover MV? I know the sparklers with Karlie as well as the guitar KIWYW performance have been identified. I was watching it again today and when the lyric "take me home" comes on, there's an owl/bird in the background and I seem ti recall something with owls related to the Big Sur trip?
i am positive someone did at the time but i can’t remember who and i can’t locate a reblog
anybody have a link to a post?
i was able to recover these
bi rice crispies ↓
big sur falcon pic ↓
it is thought there might be a daisy (maybe not the daisy but a daisy) in this ↓
here’s the sparkler one ↓
and this is just something i pointed out about the union jack symbol that makes an appearance ↓
ah what the heck i’m feeling festive i’ll add this too ↓
i think it was also pointed out that there’s a pic of taylor jumping off a dock, and karlie had recently posted a pic of her similarly jumping off a dock
😘💪🏼
God!!! 🙈 I'm still trying to figure out how Taylor managed to once again get away with such a blatant Karlie reference. 😝

Taylor's Betty Speech (June 10):
And you know when I would try and come up with their names, it was just easiest for me to pull names from my real life. The names that were actually named after real people that I love very much were James, Inez and Betty!
I haven't seen anyone point out yet that the speak now art literally goes from dark to light... turn it over and step into the daylight
Oooh interesting:
leave your like or reblog ❥
woww!!
this is so good!👏👍
Ok, now that I opened Pandora's box of writing my thoughts down, I don’t seem to be able to stop…
That being said, I keep seeing antis, especially on Twitter, claiming how The Great War does not mean anything about LSK since it was the first world war, but there was a second after.
So the argument here is that they might have survived that first war (weirdly no one seems to know which events it might be about) but they did not survive the second one (this one is supposed to be 2019 and the failed coming out).
This is gonna be a long post, so if you just want to have my input on what those two wars are about, it's at the end.
At first, I just thought this argument was funny, especially since no one is able to explain what fight (war) this song refers to if it’s not the events of 2019.
But then it got me thinking that if people are seeing this connection about two wars, it was probably not accidental.
I do believe that The Great War is talking about the events of 2019. There’s many things that point to this.
The Great War is sampled on Only The Young. It’s the same drum beat, especially in the intro.
I think it is meant to set the time the song took place (2019) and the reason behind this great war : The political climate, the results of the elections. As many suspect might have played a role on her not being able to come out.
But the lyrics also points toward 2019:
The most telling is : “Somewhere in the haze, got a sense I’d been betrayed”
This clearly points to the betrayal accusation that is looming over Karlie since 2019 and that Swifties use to hate on her.
There’s an amazing post about this. I encourage you to go read it as it will help you understand where I am coming from for the rest of the analysis.
Perez Hilton posted a Youtube Video saying how Taylor and Karlie are no longer close because of Scooter Braun, based on absolutly nothing. Ashley Avignone and Claire Winter liked the Taylor Swift Updates post about it.
Therefore lauching every Swifties and their mothers on Karlie.
This tweet and the video are still up, but the original post shared by Taylor Swift Updates and liked by Taylor's friend no longer exists.
(I highly suggest you read the post about debunking all of this!)
Perez Hilton liked a bunch of tweets this very year about how his claim that Karlie had betrayed Taylor was unfounded and basically not true.
This is just one exemple, there's MANY (and he confirmed in the comments of some that he does not just like them automatically because his name is in the post).
He even liked one of mine saying he was in his redemption era, liking post debunking his rumor about Karlie...
All of this plays in those lyrics:
“And maybe it’s the past that’s talkin’, screamin’ from the crypt. Telling me to punish you for things you never did. So I justified it.”
Perez posting those rumors and having her friends “confirm” it by liking the post.
“Spineless in my tomb of silence, tore your banner down took the battle underground”
Her not doing anything at the time (at least at first) to stop those rumors.
“Looked up at me with honor and truth, broken and blue, so I called off the troops.”
The Taylor Swift Updates post being deleted. Her friends are still showing support to Karlie on SM (again, if you have not read the debunk post, it’s really good!).
In The Great War, there’s also the lyric: “Soldier down on that icy ground, looked up at me with honor and truth, broken and blue”.
Taylor has used the frozen imagery to talk about the Master Heist in Folklore and Evermore.
Hoax: “My win less fight, this has frozen my ground”.
In the Long Pond Studio Session, when she talks about Hoax she says that it’s about multiple things: A relationship and the true meaning of love for her (staying when the other person is having a difficult time), a person that betrayed her and that she saw like family (Scott Borchetta) and a work thing that really hurt (The Master Heist).
The Win Less Fight is the attempt to come out that has frozen her ground (her past work).
It’s Time To Go: “He’s got my past frozen behind glass, but I got me”
Again, referencing having her past work stolen from her as being frozen.
Right Where You Left Me: “Did you ever hear about the girl who got frozen, time went on for everybody else she won’t know it”.
Once again, she is talking about her and how she got frozen in time by the master heist.
The Lakes: "A red rose grew up, out of ice frozen ground. With no one around to tweet it”.
The lakes talks about her not belonging and wanting to escape with her muse. A red rose, means love and passion.
Meaning that in all of this, love grew up out of the public eye...
In Evermore she also alludes to the cold and the winter while looking back on the events of 2019 (this would take a whole other post to go through all of this) : “And I was catching my breath. Barefoot in the wildest winter catching my death”.
Even in Only The Young: "It keeps me awake, the look on your face, the moment you heard the news. Screaming inside and FROZEN in time, you did all that you could do"
She might be talking about more than just the elections right there...
Another thing that for me screams of 2019 : “Your finger on my hairpin trigger”.
To me this sounds like her relationship with Karlie was one big reason for her wanting to come out in 2019.
How since the start of her relationship with Karlie she has been more loud about her queerness and how Karlie was the catalyst of her wanting to come out.
This relationship makes her want to drop “hairpins” as she references too in Right Where You Left Me : “I swear you could hear a hairpin drop, right when I felt the moment stopped.”
This checks out when you look back on her discography, social media posts, interviews and everything. Taylor has started being louder and dropping hairpins in conjunction with her relationship with Karlie.
The song clearly depicts how they made it through those events:
“I vowed, I would always be yours, ‘cause we survived the great war”.
Which was even more solidified by Taylor singing “I WILL always be yours” when she played it as a surprise song.
But there’s also other interesting detail about that song:
“My hand was the one you reached for all throughout the great war”
Meaning Karlie was there all this time.
Also: “That was the night I nearly lost you. I really thought I lost you.”
Meaning Taylor did not lose Karlie. She thought she did, thought she might. But as she is saying in the song, it was not the case.
Here’s what I think it means.
The Great War is about the events of 2019 : her wanting to come out and not being able to because of the Master Heist.
In her song The Archer, which is about the fear of coming out and how she is ready for it (pun not intended).
She starts the song with “Combat, I’m ready for combat”. (singular).
The combat here is her coming out and the possible backlash it can have.
She sadly was not able to come out in 2019.
But since August 2019 and her BBC1 performance, Taylor has changed the lyrics a bit.
In her live performance of BBC1 (Septembre 2019)
Live in Paris (Septembre 2019)
You can clearly hear “Combats, I’m ready for combats”.
Even during the Eras Tour you can hear her using plural in the song.
The singular combat of coming out in 2019 has transformed into multiple ones, her having to re-record her first six albums for one plus whatever other challenges arose in 2019 that we don’t know about.
So World War 2 might be in that case her future coming out.
Whenever that might be.
And the song saying: “We will never go back”
Meaning that whatever happens, they’ll face it together this time.
"I know Heaven's a thing, I go there when you touch me, honey." Well, we know what Karlie's fry heaven post was about now 🤭
i know heavens a thing
oh and, from the same set of stories,
staring out the window like i’m not your favorite town
i’m new york city
The way she didn't explain False God or give it any kind of intro like she usually does (probably because there isn't a hetsplanation lol).
there really isn’t any other way to explain the west village
OOHHHH!! 🤭😍👶
i just can’t get over it
Hi, there's an eye/s on Taylor's black shoulder dress.. the one where she's wearing mask. Its from twitter, thought might share it here. Karlie also wore a red dress w/ a lot of eyes on her shoulder too.😂
https://twitter.com/fruitballtay/status/1662414374600945665?t=49TaiIhG7g4Igb4lhNxacw&s=19
Honestly Taylors jewelry looks like a custom Schiaparelli piece! Have you seen the full collection? I’ve been giggling over it since Karlie wore that red jumpsuit 👁️
i saw the scoreboard and ran for my life
looked up at the sky
so scarlet it was maroon
TAYLOR SWIFT | KARMA
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
