Third week of the month

Every 8 days... once every week...

"That's a wrap"

"That's all"

"Out"

✌🏼☀️🐇🥚

Today:

Fourth week of the month

Every week this month, Kar has posted a countdown ✌🏼 (1, 2 e 3) to something and today, the fourth week, Tay made that announcement.

Is this a koincidence or is this a wrap as Karlie mentioned in the first post?

Oh! @iwanthermidnightz also pointed out another interesting thing Kar posted in the first week of the month. (x) 🤭

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* 🥴

oohh!! 😲🤭

Karlie Kloss via Instagram Stories

saw these on twitter.. 🤔

Oh yeah there is legitimately lyrics to The Alcott that are physically inscribed into the cement of the sidewalks right near Cornelia Street, I guess nobody thought to tell you about it because of all the Problematty fatigue Taylor has put us through 😭

well isn’t that something!

thinking about karlie posting this this day of the met gala

Let’s just talk about this birthday picture from Karlie to Taylor for a second. Regardless of the caption, look at this damn photo.

Taylor’s fingers are LITERALLY on Karlie’s neck. Now, usually, to tell if I’m reaching or if the situation is actually, in fact, gay, I put myself in the situation. So I ask myself, would I place my hand in that position if I were taking this exact same photo with my best friend? The answer is NO. My best friend would be like, “why the fuck are your fingertips half way up my neck???? Don’t touch my neck!” The neck is incredibly sensitive and I think it’s odd that best friends would take a photo like this. Now, let’s just pretend for a moment that we know for a FACT that Karlie and Taylor are not together and never have been. Looking back at their selfies in the past, they’re all really gay regardless lmao. I would never essentially spoon my best friend and wrap my arms around her from behind leaving ZERO space between us while she puts her hand over mine.

Nor would I do the same pose and kiss my best friends cheek while I stand behind her pressing my entire body against hers.

And you know what else I wouldn’t do with my straight platonic friend? Rest my hands on her ass after we just held hands and modeled lingerie together, then like a bunch of posts on tumblr talking about how gay it was.

Some people say that they’re not an item, but even if you don’t believe in their romantic relationship, you have to admit that they have done some pretty questionable gay shit together like writing in the sand that they love each other…

and grinding on each other

and even holding hands

or having a romantic skype date and sending flowers to one another from across the world.

Lastly, you know what else I wouldn’t do for my straight platonic friend? Get matching rings and feel the need to SNEAK into her New York apartment during NYFW.

I’m not sure if they’re together because I’m not them nor do I know them personally, but if we’re being real, they act like more than best friends. Kudos to them for being the biggest celebrity trolls if they have never been romantically involved cause they sure have hinted otherwise. Even their past gay track record isn’t the cleanest or straightest I’ve ever seen.

Taylor singing Dress to Karlie 

Ok ok ok

1) Unintentional Gaylor/Kaylor—“they moved OUT” Into the Daylight 🥹

2) LOOOOOK at this video someone took of the Lover house and Taylor exiting it—THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS—whoever made the Alice in Wonderland connection with 🎃 here’s more evidence

Theory Time 🕰 The Clock & the Rabbithole

WARNING: this is a LOOOOONG read.

-------------

The other day, an anon sent me an ask, about how there might be correlations between YNTCD's 13 hour cat watch + Alice in Wonderland + 13th hour theory:

I'm not sure if it's the same anon, but someone sent me something like this from before too (around the time i made the 13 hour theory).

And since it's the 2nd time around, i've decided to.. 'dig' deeper. (If you're this anon/s, sorry i only got to it now 🙈)

DISCLAIMER: I'm not too familiar with Alice in Wonderland now, probably did as a kid, but i haven't revisited it as an adult. So i had to read a couple of stuff to familiarize myself and watch video essays about it. Whatever i wrote about Alice in Wonderland here, i only learned 24 hrs ago lol!! So please correct me if i got something/s wrong! Ok? Let's go!

-------------

Down the Rabbithole.. into Wonderland:

Ok so anon/s have pointed out that You Need to Calm Down's cat watch (notably queer song) might've meant something more.. seeing as in all of Taylor's videos with clocks... this is the only one with a literal 13 on it AND that it's not working properly (spinning fast: time flies when you're having fun) and that she's freely in an LGBTQ+ community space -> outside the realm of time / 'reality'.. and isn't that the whole premise of 'Wonderland' (the place, not the song).

Wonderland (accordg to the book) includes a beautiful garden, an ocean, and a forest. Sometimes known as Underland. Wonderland was a place of dream at the start but it slowly showed it's true colors of being a trap.

Further proof that might lead us to believe YNTCD mv is in The Rabbithole -> Wonderland (outside of Time itself... The 13th Hour):

So if that's the case... are we in the Rabbithole -> Wonderland this whole time? Well.. for Kaylors and Gaylors, i guess we already know this. We always say that discovering her Gay rumors and easter eggs have always felt like falling down the rabbithole (these words even came out of Miss Swift's mouth in an interview). It's nothing new!... For gaylors. But for the rest of her fans? Welp.

Remember how in my 13th hour theory, we theorized that Midnights might've been pre-planned, one proof is her talking about easter eggs 3 years in advance right? Theorized as: 2019->2022? Well.. i went back to watch that interview in full, and didn't realize that she continues it by saying to come along with her into the Rabbithole. :

Notable things about this interview are:

1. She's wearing white (like the White Rabbit?) and saying "it's too late o'clock" -> Alice's White Rabbit "I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date!"

2. This was Red TV era (remember for later)

3. This was on Nov. 11/12, 2021... and the tv program: The TONIGHT Show w/ Jimmy Fallon, starts more or less at Midnight. So she's asking people to come along the Rabbithole with her at Midnight here?

-------------

So... are we in Wonderland this whole time?

Maybe.. YNTCD mv was more 'in-your-face' that yes we are! But i think it all started in the Red (2012 era).. Let's re-trace! :

1. 'Wonderland' (the concept/feeling/aesthetic) technically started in the Red era + when she met(?) the muse who introduced it to her: Dianna.

2. Wonderland (the song) was released in the 1989 era + Rabbithole references appear in Taylor's music. If you analyze the song: they both went mad, and it didn't work out. The past muse eventually left her there, all alone in Wonderland. Even though this song is about that muse, i think Taylor carried and embodied Wonderland as her own too. Since Alice in Wonderland, in the end, is a self-discovery story.

3. How does Karlie fit into this? Well in the 1989 era (also known as the Golden days/era for Kaylor), we were introduced to the song: I Know Places. Burned from her past experience, she asks this new lover to take her hand and trust her, because this time.. she knows Places.. Places being Wonderland! Remember in her 1989 tour -> I Know Places' stage design involves: Mazes/Labyrinths (the Queen's garden maze/labyrinth?) and hallways with infinite doors (Alice in Wonderland - The Long Hall reference)?

4. In reputation era, Karlie became the King of Hearts -> Taylor's 'King of my Heart'. It's a night-aesthetic album (same as Midnights?) but on the contrary, this album is full of dreams references. The giddiness of keeping a secret, between two lovers. Hiding in plain sight. Being in paradise (wonderland). It was the dream. Also in reputation tour Taylor's dance partner/'lover' in King of My Heart, is the same one starring alongside her in the Lover mv. (KOMH->Lover). There's also chess references in the tour, Alice in Wonderland also has chess and card references. @9w1ft have a superb post about this!

5. In Lover era, Taylor gets more whimsical with the music videos: Me! (Wizard of Oz and/or the Queen of Hearts/Wonderland castle?) + YNTCD (as stated above) + Lover mv. The album shows that it was still paradise.. but the cracks are showing.

6. The Lover mv: we start by being introduced to the Lover doll house in the Snow Globe (Kaylor technically met* in Red era + YAIL + Snow angels/Globe), by LOOKING through a peephole (the door didn't actually open for us) -> Alice saw Wonderland by looking through the doorknob.. keyhole? (forgive me idk what it's called in english 😂).

We then see them slow dancing in what looks to be a hall with infinite doors -> referencing I Know Places -> referencing The Long Hall in Alice in Wonderland. We get to see their relationship behind closed doors -> their well-kept Wonderland? "This is OUR place. We (king and queen) MAKE the rules"

Notable thing i just saw: All of the rooms in the Lover mv/house is closed all the time, except for one room. The orange + Upside Down room. It's the only room where the door is always left slightly open. (remember for later).

6. Folklore and Evermore era. This is when the paradise revealed its true self, the nightmare, the pain, the heartbreak.. the TRAP. I'm not sure whether folkmore was actually pre-planned, but it felt like a 'frozen in time' type of era. Evidence supporting this is the music video for Cardigan and Willow, wherein the clock in the cabin, beside Taylor's piano, is only ever pointing to 1:15AM (or 1 & 3).

- most notable songs for me are: mirrorball, this is me trying, peace, hoax, the lakes, ivy, long story short (i fell from the pedestal, right down the rabbithole, long story short, it was a BAD TIME), evermore

- special mention: right where you left me. She's still 23 inside her FANTASY (Wonderland) -> She met* Karlie when she was 23, thus introduced 'Wonderland' to her at this age. She's still FROZEN in Wonderland -> I never grow up, it's getting so old! -> Time essentially doesn't work correctly in Wonderland.

- special mention: seven. Alice was notably seven years old when she fell into the rabbithole.

- special mention: coney island. Do you miss the rogue who coaxed you into paradise and left you there? / Accdg to Taylor, Coney Island was "a place where thrills were once sought. A place where once it was all electricity and magic.. and now the lights are out.. and you're looking at it thinking 'what did i do?' " / Were you waiting at our old spot, by the tree line, by the Gold clock -> the white rabbit's clock and the hole leading to Wonderland?***

Ok.. so now that we've established we might be in Wonderland this whole time... what now? Do they escape? Do they stay there forever? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Additional tidbit info about Alice in Wonderland's connection if you're into the Kaylore of Spade™️:

It is explained in the book that Spades are garderners. -> so are Spade's™️ riddles supposed to be like seeds being planted, that will only makes sense after some time?

-------------

The Clock -> is it the KEY?

As i was thinking about Anon's suggestion of the 13 cat watch maybe being connected to Alice in Wonderland.. and theorizing that Taylor might've been the White Rabbit with the clock from there + Taylor mentioning the rabbithole on Jimmy Fallon (again, being the white rabbit?)...

Could the WHITE number 12 mean the WHITE RABBIT? Meet me (the white rabbit) at midnight.. and FALL DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE??

As i was reading about Alice in Wonderland, here are a few things about the White Rabbit and his clock-watch:

1. According to this (not sure if it's in the books): "As the Queen's manservant, he (the white rabbit) can always be found at 12 o'clock (!) at the entrance of the Queen's garden, standing watch and greeting the visitors of the Queen.

2. The White Rabbit's clock-watch was originally owned by the Mad-hatter and that the clock-watch doesn't tell time.. but rather "it tells the day of the month, and doesn't tell what o'clock it is!"

So if the clock doesn't tell time.. here are 2 ways to interpret the clock - in accordance to the theory that the white number 12 symbolizes the White Rabbit:

1. It tells the DAY/Season

The colors of the clock (green, yellow, red-ish, blue) can be the 4 seasons (spring, summer, fall, winter) + The White Rabbit (or the Easter Bunny) is closely related to Spring. + let's not forget Ivy's 'spring' line:

Crescent Moon (Oct. 21?) coast is clear / Spring breaks loose / but so does fear / He's gonna burn this house to the ground

Side note: i just realized that 12 (o'clock) is inverted/mirrored 21. As in Oct. 21. 12 ->21. I'm so delirious rn.. help. 😭

2. It tells a DIRECTION.

So if the number 12 is the White Rabbit, with a catch-phrase - Fall down the Rabbit hole, should we then INVERT the clock? With the 12 pointing downward.

Remember in the 13th hour theory post, a reddit user - whatisitmaria, proposed that the Midnights clock reflected the Lover House colors IF you follow the UPSIDE DOWN + MIRRORED TAYLOR From the Orange room** (remember, this is the only room in the house where the door is always slightly open... upside down is the way out?) + Inverted (Alice in Wonderland, Falling down the rabbithole) + Mirrored (Alice Through the Looking Glass)

Watching a short clip of Alice in Wonderland.. when Alice was Falling down the Rabbithole, it wasn't until she was UPSIDE DOWN that she finally saw the White Rabbit again. (Note: in the books, she fell asleep while falling, and woke up when she landed on dry leaves and twigs)

Re-calling Taylor being stuck in the glass closet in her Willow mv... remember how she got out? An invisible string led her DOWNWARD (into a rabbithole?). And then she follows it with the lyrics: 'wait for the signal, and i'll meet you after dark'

In invisible string (song): Time, curious time / Gave me no compasses / Gave me no signs / Were there clues I didn't see?

In conclusion: (i know waaay too much about alice in wonderland now than i ever intended to.. 😂 jk)

In order for us to get to the 13th hour, should we first, follow the White Rabbit and Fall down the Rabbithole? Will it lead us to the "real" Taylor?

And when we get to the 13th hour.. what happens? Will we get stuck there too? Will we get a new clock? Will there be Burning (the house down / Wonderland?) and Running away? (theories, scroll down down down)

In YNTCD's mv, with the 13 hour watch. The fire started because of her phone. And then it burned the whole trailer, with Taylor leaving and only saving her drink with the Daisy.

Another cool tidbit i noticed about the watch is i think it's intended that it was Benji (the cat)'s face on it because of his namesake.. Benjamin Button. The Curious case of Benjamin Button is another story about whimsical time. And how even tho he has all sorts of unusual adventures over the course of his life, it is his relationship with Daisy, and the hope that they will come together at the right time, that drives Benjamin forward.

-------------

Lastly (if you're still here 😂).. the Maze or Labyrinth?

In one of Taylor's promo Midnights photos, there's a vinyl sleeve cover of what appears to be a Maze or a Labyrinth. And after reading about Alice in Wonderland.. i think it's both a Maze and a Labyrinth, it will only depend on whether you have an aim and can see through her (Labyrinth) or not (Maze):

-------------

Ok, i'm out. Again, this is ALL just a theory tho. I have no idea what will happen when Midnights drop, but i love following these easter eggs, and will continue following these eggs no matter what happens. 🕳🐇🌼 Please feel free to correct me or add on this!

Submission:

🎃 is retelling the story of the failed coming out, the masters heist, the Kaylor break of 2019, the formulation of the new longer more gradual coming out plan, the folk/more era of exile, the Kaylor reunion, and presumably… what’s next.

Oh, and Toe dipping out before planned.

The HEEL of the 1st message is Taylor BEING the heel, another word for antihero. She is flying toward coming out with Me!, YNTCD, etc. But she as she speeds toward actually doing it, she becomes afraid of what life will look like on the other side. So she tries to walk it back, only to look like she’s queerbaiting.

The glass castle was in the Me! Video. The bicycles were also in that video. She changed her mind on coming out, got spooked, hesitated.

The museum heist is the masters heist. The mirror in the glass: he’s got my past frozen behind glass, but I’ve got me. Sounds like someone threatening to out her, perhaps around the same time/in connection to the masters heist. Maybe the someone she recognizes is Scooter or Scott B?

The kitchen is the war room; the new, longer coming out plan with Tree + co. Sounds like Toe dipped out earlier than intended and took some evidence with him. Or maybe someone else close to her betrayed her. The dandelion metaphor is about “private moments too close to the fence,” so it makes me feel the betrayal was someone in her circle. Since nothing penetrates her fence.

The yard message is about being too sloppy within her circle and private life. Someone got evidence that could hurt her/Karlie.

The jumping into the water feels like it’s from summer 2019, Taylor giving Karlie up to protect her (“the rubies that I gave up” — in the Bible, rubies symbolize a Good Wife)

This harkens back to spade’s message “without hesitation she bent down to pick up the pieces and cut herself…” I feel like we originally assumed Karlie was the one who cut herself so Taylor could be whole but what if it was the other way around??

Maybe Taylor gave Karlie up, agreed to an NYC exile, to protect her??

The being swept out to sea is the period where Taylor is shipwrecked.

And the woods is when she finds the cabin in the woods, sends the signal to Karlie and they reunite in secret a la Willow. This is the folklore/evermore era. This story is all laid out in Evermore.

It also sounds like Karlie didn’t want Taylor to go; she would rather have hurt her image than lose her. So Taylor giving her up was sort of a romantic, heroic gesture… which really is what Lover felt like. Like letting someone go that you don’t want to. But having to bite your tongue and publicly be the antihero.

ALSO, a story in 11 parts then leaves 1: midnights.

It’s 11pm on the clock.

there's also a lot of word "red" mention on 🎃 messages.. aside from "question..?".

THEN SHE SANG QUESTION..? the other night and RED last night.

So TS is sending signals?? 🧐

🎃 To those who have requested I give some kind of sign or signal to prove my validity - I see you. In fact, I am one step ahead. If you read my messages closely, and hold them to the light in the coming unfoldings, I think you will find many connections and foretellings. I have a feeling we all share a similar taste in MUSIC.

Tonight's folklore speech was VERY interesting from a JackOLantern Anon perspective...👀 She said "woodsy and foresty" (in that order, just like in JackOLantern Anon's 10th message. "You wander through the WOODS. Deep in this enchanted FOREST") she also mentioned parchment, feathers (I believe JackOLantern Anon called the dandelions "feathery"), typewriters, and CANDLES. And went on to talk her usual talk about how much fun she had infusing her real emotions into fictionalized characters for folklore...And one more thing, in the message about falling from the glass castle, wasn't a free fall mentioned? Tonight's surprise song was Red, which has the lyric "trying to change your mind once you're already flying through the free fall" 👀

👀

🎃 You wander through the woods. Deep in this Enchanted Forest

🎃 You finish scrawling on the parchment.

🎃 There is a tealight candle at its center, the dancing glow casting shadows from deep within the carved, jagged-toothed smile.

🎃 You will reach the ground either way, whether you float like a feather or freefall like a meteor.

I know people have been asking to see the whole speech from last night. Sorry for the terrible quality it was pretty wet. Here’s the full speech leading up to Question…?

Kinda obsessed with how you can hear the rain

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.

ohhh! i can't wait for pride month.. i hope my gaylor and kaylor heart will be fed. 🤞🤗

Preparations leading up to the revelation, a divine source of knowledge. With pride all will be crystal clear.

"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 mean.. who wouldn't be the happiest when this is the love of your life... your wife?? 😭😭

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 ♠️.

♠️ RIDDLE HISTORY

Eventually, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 anon started to visit us with messages:

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 MESSAGES

And, last week we had 🎃 Jack-O-Lantern stop by with a flurry of messages:

🎃 MESSAGES

I am just a fan. And, for whatever reason, they chose this blog as their platform. I am honored! ☺️

Reminder that on February 1st, Karlie posted a photo of her posing in front of an NYU banner, after she originally posted, then deleted it a few days prior.

Then the very next day on February 2nd, this news came out:

Which lead to…

Champagne problems Mother’s Day speech

there truly are many ways you can be a mother

same energy??!!! 😝

😜

Seriously.

gonna need therapy after this

i don't really see how 'dating' matty healy is any better or safer than just coming out with karlie at this point.

Yes!!

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.

sure, we could all focus on analyzing taylor’s work through the lens of queer history, but, why stop at analyzing history? ☺️ why not make it?
