She did the heart over the left eye again on Sunday šļø
Iām going to cry over this performance of Mine for the rest of my days. šš
Perfect.
Ahhh so now we know why Mariska specifically looked for a photo with Karlie in it to post š„° kk's warmth! š
Mariska (talking about the day they were filming Bad Blood mv) : The day we got to the video.. you know I met a lot of them before but like, Karlie Kloss just grabbed my hand she's like 'I'm staying with you'. And it's one of those things where you just go, like I felt like I was in seventh grade and the cool girl picked me!

šØ repost! reblog! retweet!!!! šØ
#louder for the people in the back š¢
Just giggling about the double standard between Taylor and Karlie. Karlie is expected to uphold insane standards and expectations especially when it comes to being associated with toxic men. But Taylor is just having fun and being silly itās all a part of her journey. Itās just funny.

Speech before singing Mine (talking about Speak Now)
I talk a lot about how folklore was the first time I was writing about characters and stuff, but actually Speak Now I was inventing scenarios that definitely weren't happening in my life. I wrote this song Speak Now about interrupting a wedding of an ex and like.. I was 18 when I wrote that. None of my exes were getting married. I never interrupted a wedding, it was just a fantasy. And I think that's one of my favorite things about Speak Now, it was so fantasy, it was so fantastical, I think it was the first time I was thinking in cinematic, you know 'this isn't my life', but what if it were? Like watching a movie, and trying to write what those characters might be feeling. I say this because I wanna play a song, that when I wrote it I was writing about all these relationship things that haven't happened to me. There's drawer of my things at your place, and thing like that. And working through fights and not just breaking up. Anyway, so those were things I was not par-taking in at 18 and 19, when I wrote these songs. It's been such a privilege and such a treat to go back and re-record them 'cause relating to them now.. it's really crazy to go back and listen to these songs that at the time were a fantasy but now feel really relatable to me. And um... this is called MINE.

Taylor keeps using the word WILD a lot
So I was thinking which song had that word and I remember PEACE
And look what that line is
Give you my wild, give you a child
Like what the hell
.
So many fun things tonight wow.
However, I do not yet feel I can mark myself safe from Matty Healy.
This made be laugh:
Karlie told us.. lol
Thereās a play here I just donāt know what it is yet
speak now tv fucking finally šš
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.. š
Iām 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 whatās being presented right now?
blake really said "no, these are my hands"
⨠Again and again, maybe 10 more times, we made a promise, what will come next? Will you be here when the time comes? We will see.
This ask was sent on Monday shortly after Karlie revealed her pregnancy. I had already posted several asks in response to her reveal when this came into my inbox. It felt a bit myserious then, and even more so now.
Thoughts ... I have been discussing it with a mutual and we are stuck.
god i still canāt get over how sheās wearing the vsfs ring during this clip
Sheās stepping into the daylight in every room of the lover house š
in the opening sequence daylight is definitely flooding the house with light, and in some cases she does seem to be looking out at it š
Tomorrow is kissgate anniversary! Time to blast dancing w our hands tiedš¤§
Do you think we will any taylorās chaotic shenanigans?
Honestly I am not sure lol. But keep an eye on her tiktok likes today lol.
Happy anniversary to the hot mess that was this concert and the clean up job we witnessed thereafter lol
Happy anniversary to Karlie directing Lily and Martha to get Taylor in the car and where they should sit
Happy anniversary to Drunk Taylor liking Tumblr posts about kaylor afterwards
Happy anniversary to the quickly scrapped PR relationship roll out of Matt Healy and Taylor lol
Happy anniversary to news and gossip bloggers using more ambiguous parts of the video footage to make it easier to say they were not kissing lol
Ps we all know JK was there that night doesnāt change what happened. Lol
i know taylor doesnāt brag much but i need her to brag about this. please.
Grab some tissues. It hits different š ____________________________________
In May 2015, a blind item came out that said Karlie was moving things out from Taylor's apartment.
2020: Five years later in the song EXILE, Taylor referred to this fight that they supposedly had in the same way.
in 2019, Taylor on the album LOVER made it clear that her muse is from the USA, that New York screams her muse's name and that her muse has a garden gate in the West Village Karlie is from the USA, New York screams her name and she had a garden gate in the West Village.
That place was very special for their relationship because Taylor was seen there very often and she moved to New York and bought an apartment near there to hang out with Karlie in her apartment.
2019: A month after the album LOVER came out, Karlie sold her apartment in the West Village which has a garden gate.
And a year later (2020), in EXILE Taylor refers to this by saying that this person was her town, but that she is now in exile watching this person out (??selling their special place and moving out??)
I think I've seen this film before. And I didn't like the ending. You're not my homeland anymore. So what am I defending now? You were my town. Now I'm in exile, seein' you out. I think I've seen this film before.
YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN single was released on June 14, 2019
On June 25, 2019 a blind items came out saying that if Taylor wanted to come out, she couldn't mention Karlie:
And also Karlie did an interview about how much she enjoyed her new life and Taylor is briefly mentioned in it as one of her "friends", as if she was just a wrinkle
And a year later - 2020 - Taylor would refer to this in CLOSURE saying that her lover is now enjoying a new life and how Taylor feels that she is a wrinkle or something that could ruin the new life that person has built without her
RIGHT WHERE YOU LEFT ME (2020): I could feel the mascara run. You told me that you met someone. Glass shattered on the white cloth. Everybody moved on. I, I stayed there.
In 2018 and 2019, Karlie had two weddings and even though Taylor was invited, she didn't attend, she said absolutely nothing about it and Taylor's team just said she was too busy
October 2018: But the same day or the next (it's confusing because of the time zones) of the first wedding Taylor sang I KNEW YOU WERE TROUBLE completely sad as a surprise song. Taylor and Karlie met when Taylor was performing that song
Two years later - 2020 - Taylor would refer to these weddings in EVERMORE. In RIGHT WHERE YOU LEFT ME Taylor sings about how the person she used to love left her and shortly there after married and built a new life without her
In this song there is a clear reference to a tradition in Jewish Weddings. Karlie converted to Judaism and had a Jewish Wedding
"Hair pin drop": We all know that this line is gay and what it means in this context is that Taylor's silence and her not attending Karlie's two weddings was something that confirmed that there was something more than a friendship between them
Did you ever hear about the girl who got frozen? Time went on for everybody else, she won't know it. She's still 23 inside her fantasy. How it was supposed to be. Did you hear about the girl who lives in delusion? Break-ups happen every day, you don't have to lose it. She's still 23 inside her fantasy. And you're sitting in front of me.
Taylor was 23 when she became Karlie's bff.
CHAMPAGNE PROBLEMS (2020) is about how Taylor lost her golden muse because she wasn't ready to get married and how she watched this person walk away not knowing what to do
"One for the money two for the show" Karlie had two weddings and this phrase appears in the photoshoot they did together in 2014
In HAPPINESS (2020), Taylor tells how she spent seven years with this person and how she felt like she was in heaven. Taylor wrote this song a month after it was seven years since she met Karlie
This is a clear reference to Karlie because in REPUTATION and LOVER, Taylor relates heaven and religion to this person. Karlie was a Victoria's Secret Angel
HITS DIFFERENT (2022): Dreams of your hair and your stare and sense of belief. In the good in the world, you once believed in me. And I felt you and I held you for a while. Bet I could still melt your world. Argumentative, antithetical dream girl. // Movin' on was always easy for me to do. It hits different (Yeah). It hits different 'cause it's you.
Are all the Eras tour BETTY stories true? Taylor already said Betty is the love of James' life. James had to fight to get Betty back! And she believes in a Happy End. (SEE THIS LINK)
Are we getting a Kaylor reunion or was that it...?! Anything to add?
(most parts by lavenderfishboy!)
yes! acceptance is key...
I understand Taylor wanting to have their second child close to their first. Thatās valid, and the biological clock is a real thing. What I donāt understand is why she didnāt get real with us and warn us it was coming. Then we could make our decisions whether or not to stick around for the next two years, ten years, forever closet ⦠whatever the new plan is supposed to be.
Sheās always so careful to keep us hanging on just a little while longer. Why not fucking level with us, for once? Yes, weāre all adults and she doesnāt owe us a coming out. That doesnāt mean itās fun to be attacked by the rest of her fans and subjected to constant homophobia from them, which she KNOWS flares up when the antis get a āwinā like this. All she had to do was give us a heads up so we could prepare ourselves, or be honest about her plans and let us tap out if we need to.Ā
And no, singing Coney Island the week The National drop a new album doesnāt count as a warning.Ā
Iām tired.Ā
You know everyone talks about how in love Taylor is with Karlie, but we, well me at least, never though about how in love Karlie is with Taylor. I know itās mostly because Taylor writes and sings all these songs about her. All we really have are the moments Karlie has talked or gushed about Taylor. But we also have all the photos of Karlie looking at Taylor like the sun rises and sets with her. The post earlier on here made me think about this.
š
So now that The Alcott has officially been released I wanted to do an analysis of some of the lyrics and how I think they might relate to Taylor. Disclaimer: I know Aaron said Matt wrote the main parts of the song and Taylor only added the dialogue parts so many of these connections might be a coincidence, but I also think itās possible Taylor could have had more input on the song than theyāre letting on since there are so many themes and motifs that perfectly relate back to Taylorās music. This is just meant to be a fun clown theory
Like many others pointed out, the whole first verse is very āHelp Iām still at the restaurant, still sitting in a corner I haunt, cross legged in the dim light, they say āwhat a sad sightāā and seems like the opposite pov of RWYLM
āItās the last thing you/I wanted, itās the first thing I/you do, I tell you that I think Iām falling back in love w/ youā // āI love you aināt that the worst thing you ever heardā // āUh oh Iām falling in love, oh no Iām falling in love againā
āI had to do something to break into your golden thinkingā // āLost in the labyrinth of my mindā¦you would break your back to make me break a smileāā this is directly related to the following ā¬ļø
āAnd there you are sitting as usual w/ your golden notebook, writing something about someone who used to be meā¦I sit there silently waiting for you to look upā // āDid you ever hear about the girl who got frozen, time moved on for everybody else, she wonāt know it, sheās still 23 inside her fantasy, how it was supposed to beā¦and youāre sitting in front of meā -> Taylor is stuck in her own head reminiscing and writing about the past (theĀ golden age) and this person sitting in front of her is trying to break her out of this nostalgic escapist mindset. I think this may be a direct reference to the film Midnight in Paris which is all about nostalgia and escapismāmuch like the song Paris on the Midnights 3am editionāand specifically to golden age thinking, a phrase used in that film. Here are some tidbits that I think are worth noting
@chickawah23ā made a really great post about the possible Midnight in Paris connections. Hereās a screenshot from that post that does a good job summarizing the important parallels
There definitely seems to be a connection between Midnights, the stories of 13 sleepless nights, and the folklore chapters that were released in Aug 2020, specifically the sleepless nights and escapism chapters. I think itās interesting that exile is the last track of the first chapter and first track of the second chapterāalmost like the second chapter is a direct continuation of the first which again links Midnights to this escapism theme. And thereās been a lot of exile references lately (exile ends, doors, 8/3, etc)
Even though the back and forth dialogue between Taylor and Matt at first sounds argumentative, I think it could also be read in a positive way. This person is going to ruin and wreck Taylorās plans and Taylor is going to gladly let them. She welcomes the curse on their house. āIām begging for you to take my hand wreck my plans thatās my manā // āFor you I would ruin myself a million little timesā // āI wish to know the fatal flaw that makes you long to be magnificently cursedā¦Heās gonna burn this house to the groundā¦So yeah itās a fire itās a goddamn blaze in the dark and you started itā // āDear reader, burn all the files, desert all your past livesā // Taylor is the one that chooses to burn the lover house down. Sheās the one holding the lighter on the Midnights album cover and striking the match in the lavender haze mv (hereās a really great post about what that might signify). Furthermore, the willow performance and description make me think that the curse on Taylorās house was actually her own doingāsheās not only letting this person wreck her plans but is helping them do so. So the burning, wrecking, ruining, cursing/spell casting are all metaphors for the same thingādestroying Taylorās closet and possibly her career as a result of that
Honorable mention: The beat almost sounds like a heartbeat no? Wildest Dreams??
I honestly canāt get over the video of Taylor looking at the lesbian couple of blowing them a kiss. I saw it like 20 times already. The way she held her head straight the whole time but as soon as she saw them she like melted, that little smile, her eyes look sad like she is remembering something, 15 second stare and then kiss.
That whole thing was understanding that only people that know it will get. She talked to them (and us) without saying anything. Iām so sad for her but at the same time iām so proud and happy because she seems to be getting more and more comfortable š„¹
I know, this was so sweet. And you said it, seeing her facial expressions change⦠people who get it, get it š
āOkay so, really, any time Iām even going to talk about, or reference another artist, I feel inclined to tell you that theyāre not here. No one else is here, itās just me, youāre stuck with me. But I am going to talk about another artist, because I feel like stadiums are huge, and itās important to really communicate, so thatās what Iām doing. Iām going to talk about another artist, who has an album that just came out, and itās so cool. The National just had an album come out! This band has influenced me beyond my ability to verbalize how much theyāve influenced me, just lyrically, their ability to set a scene, their ability to tell stories. And obviously Aaron Dessner is in The National, and he has completely changed my life. Yeah, so I was lucky enough to be able to write a song with them for their new album, which is called The First Two Pages Of Frankenstein. Check it out, stream it, buy it on vinyl! And I love them so much. Theyāve been so kind to me, and so Iām not going to sing the song that we have on this new album. Itās called The Alcottācheck that out, though. But I am going to sing Coney Island.ā

The other side of the door in ATL night 1 speech and full performance
The ATL NIGHT 1 crowd showed up and showed out! Brava yāall!
Folklore/Betty speech, April 28th:
I thought you know, it's been a long time that I've been writing, like, painfully autobiographical songs about my own self and my own feelings. Obviously folklore has my feelings completely bled in through it, but I created these characters for the very first time, and really just decided to, like, try creating characters who could feel these things.. sort of by proxy. Some of my favorite characters were this teenage love triangle. Where like.. you know.. over the summer, and specifically during the month of August, this teenage boy named James, really screws things up with the love of his life.. and her name is Betty!
In Karlie's Met Gala snapstory that you shared.. at 3.05.. is that Taylor's left leg? That black boot looks like the one she wore to the afterparties! This is so exciting aaahhh.
*looks at the clip for literally the hundredth time*
oh anon, itās just her assistant in the back donāt be silly iām sur-
