Wow
I just wanted to include Benji but that is not what this post is about I just love him🫶🏻
My friend told me to tell her all the good Kaylor posts about the new album. I’m like girl sit down. So I wanted to make a post of Kaylor album “coincidences” now before album is even released.
In March 2014 Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss went to Big Sur. Here are some photos they posted from that trip:
Here are the photos Karlie posted TODAY:
Photos Taylor posted TODAY:
TODAY is July 23rd the start of Leo season. Karlie is a leo born August 3rd.
Karlie posted this video last week and she’s wearing a cardigan in the woods in a white dress, one of Taylor’s songs is called cardigan:
the 1 is a highway in california
Cardigan we already went over
seven ( Karlie and Taylor have known each other 7 years in November )
August is Karlie’s birthday and when we think they were engaged.
I think the photos tell that Karlie is stepping into the daylight first and Taylor is still in the woods. That is why Taylor’s in black and white and Karlie’s is so vibrant.
Karlie these past few months:
While Taylor has been wearing black in her appearances she’s made over the past year (2020):
I’ve been thinking about Spade’s final messages recently, building upon some thoughts that came to me earlier this year.
Ultimately, I think Spade’s last few riddles were trying to tell us that Taylor won’t make major moves (maybe toward coming out) until after she releases all of her re-recorded albums.
As a refresher, these are the last riddles Spade sent:
I think the 🖤 represents the reputation re-record. It fits with the style of the album and was included before the rest of the text in both the 5/31/20 and 6/21/20 riddles. (It may be nothing but note that 5+3+1+2=11 and 6+2+1+2=11. Taylor can re-record rep in November 2022). The riddles are telling us “THEY ARE FREE” only after the rep re-record.
Until very recently, I always viewed the next riddle (“Love does not grow…) in isolation (maybe related to BLM protests that were widespread at the time or solely an Easter egg for Coney Island lyrics). But now I think this riddle is actually clarifying the “THEY ARE FREE” riddles. Closed fists also throw punches. Taylor is fighting back with her re-records and she can’t “bloom” until that’s done. Spade wanted us to know.
The timing of the “THEY ARE FREE” and “Love does not grow…” riddles also aligns with the “Why worry, she blooms in June.” riddle sent on 6/25/2019 —they were both sent almost exactly a year later at the end of Pride Month.
I’m assuming the girls had determined a rough outline of T+K’s plans by the time Spade’s final riddles were sent. Spade knew the road would be long and Kaylors would get upset/angry along the way. Plus, Spade must have known there would be a baby in the mix that would be too sensitive to discuss but hard to ignore. So, they chose to say goodbye. There have likely been pivots behind the scenes but if I’m right then Spade wasn’t simply misleading us at the end (even if it still feels that way). We assumed ‘they were free’ when the riddles were sent but Spade was letting us know it would be a long road.
Not Taylor making an Alice in wonderland reference on the tonight show 😂
Well... there’s that. Why is Taylor like this? 😂
hey swifties can we talk about the lover house
specifically about the room leading up to the reputation attic, boxed in by ts5, 6, and 7
with soft and folksy clothes
dare i say, cardigans?
🌋 when your reputation is not a pretty sight, i will tarnish my own image to match your frame; dust coated glass, speckles of stars filling into the cracks. i will meet you down at the bottom, my love.

so you know how the main Lame Guy from the ME! mv is clearly supposed to be a caricature of skint poor cheater… well now i’m thinkin about how you can read almost all of that song as a fuck you to him
e.g. “I know I never think before I jump / And you’re the kind of guy the ladies want” as a direct throwback to the final chorus of fifteen when she says “Cause when you’re fifteen and somebody tells you they love you / You’re gonna believe them. / And when you’re fifteen, don’t forget to look before you fall” — just in general i’ve been listening to fifteen a lot lately and reading it through the lens of her signing her contract with sc*tt and bmr at 15. so we have this idea of being a young girl with big dreams of making it as a singer (“when all you wanted was to be wanted”), and because all the ladies want for a producer or music executive or whatever to notice them, when he says you’re gonna be a star, kid, you’ll trust him enough to not think before you jump / look before you fall. and like… “I never think before I jump” has always been kind of weird for her to say about herself now because 30-year-old taylor is the queen of meticulously planning everything, but if you consider her thinking about 15-year-old taylor + “wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now” … it’s a reflection on the naivete of her youth, and it’s a warning [cut to her vogue 73 questions interview where her advice to young artists was “get a good lawyer”]
and then of course we have “But one of these things is not like the others / Like a rainbow with all of the colors / Baby doll, when it comes to a L♡VER / I promise that you’ll never find another like ME!”
when you think about the fact that big machine records IS taylor swift, and that Lover is her first album that is not with bmr and that they won’t be able to profit off of, and the fact that they’ve obviously been searching for The Next Taylor Swift™ for years but haven’t been able to find one because there is no one else like her… it just makes so much sense??? honestly i like it so much more now reading it this way bc tbh thinking about these lines in the context of a romantic relationship is Not The Healthiest Outlook. but her saying fuck you sc*tt, you’ll never get another one of my albums, you’ll never find another taylor swift… OKAY MISS SWIFT!!!!!! GO OFF!!!
AND add on top of that, all of this is because “one of these things is not like the others / like a rainbow with all of the colors” i.e. she’s gay and all you misogynistic homophobic assholes kept her closeted for literally half her life in order to make more money off her, so let’s make it CLEAR that THIS is why you fucking lost her, and why when it comes to a songwriting juggernaut who cranks out record-breaking albums like she was fucking born for it, you’ll never find another like her.
also sidenote, calling a man who has objectified and belittled and controlled you for years “babydoll” as a dig at his clearly very fragile masculinity? POWERFUL.
i mean i should probably mention the apparently necessary disclaimer that songs can be about many things at the same time and ME! is still overall a lighthearted gay bop that’s mainly meant to be about positivity, and taylor singing “babydoll” is still very gay and cute when you take the sc*tt angle out of it, but there is absolutely an undercurrent throughout it of this being a direct response to the whole bmr debacle.
Even in the way she talked about it in interviews, saying it’s a song “that reinforces the fact that we’re different, and obviously there are a lot of songs about ‘I’m special,’ but I hadn’t heard one recently that was about ‘I’m special because of who I am’” … this distinction of I’m special because of who I am really resonates if you think about her losing her masters, i.e. the thing that made her special and Valuable to all the lame guys out there, (and if you think about this alongside her speech at the Time 100 Gala where she talks about how specifically writers have the power to turn their lessons into their legacy), she’s reiterating the idea that it’s not the recordings she’s created in the past or all her awards or success or whatever that made her special, it’s not the fact that some man ~discovered~ her 15 years ago that made her special—she is special because of who she is, because of her goddamn mind and this ability to write that she has inside her, and that is something that no one can ever take away from her.
tl;dr i’m a ME! stan now thanks for coming to my tay talk
