@taylorswift Show Us How You’ll Be Listening To The 10 Minute Version Of “All Too Well”

Submission - Shamrock

Sometimes I wonder if Taylor has a “trick up her sleeve” and is secretly in the process of buying her masters from Shamrock. Or maybe buying out Sc**ter’s share (although idk how that deal is structured). I fully recognize that this is a crazy theory– pleaseeee don’t get your hopes up, everyone.

This entire Shamrock acquisition has always seemed weird to me. Taylor wanted to buy her masters. Taylor, at the very least, didn’t want Sc**ter to profit off her work. And if all else failed, Taylor was going to re-record her first six albums. None of these things were secrets– Taylor explicitly said as much. Shamrock would have known this beforehand. So why would they spend all that money, yet still let Sc**ter profit as part of the deal? If Taylor is going to do everything in her power to NOT let Sc**ter (and Shamrock) make money off her masters, why didn’t Shamrock just cut Sc**ter out? Then Taylor would have worked with them and they would have made more money. I have to think Shamrock had the upper hand here– Sc**ter needed money quickly. He needed to sell more than Shamrock needed to buy.

Something else about Shamrock: Abigail Disney is the Vice Chair, I believe. I would assume she’s involved in making decisions. Abigail Disney is interesting, because she’s super rich and a social activist. Like she thinks she and other billionaires need to be taxed more. She has a PhD, makes documentaries, is big on women’s rights, and even renounced her shares of profits from a company that has a factory in the West Bank (for ethical reasons). Abigail seems like the kind of person who would be on Taylor’s side and at the very least, not give Sc**ter a chance to profit off Taylor’s work.

So all of this was weird to me back in November, when we heard about it. Then I heard Ivy, and wondered if there was a connection.

“Clover blooms in the fields” – Shamrock literally means “young clover.“ 

"Spring breaks loose, the time is near / What would he do if he found us out?” – Maybe a deal between Taylor and Shamrock will be announced in the spring. Maybe the “he” is Sc**ter– maybe the reason nothing makes sense right now is because Taylor is trying to catch Sc**ter by surprise, so he can’t foil her plans again. More on this later.

“Crescent moon, coast is clear” – There’s a new moon on March 13th. Meaning there will be a waxing crescent moon from March 14th to March 20th. This coincides with the Ides of March (Spade riddle) and St. Patrick’s Day (shamrocks). Hmm.

“Spring breaks loose, but so does fear / He’s gonna burn this house to the ground” – Could the house be the Lover house? Where each room is an album? Is Taylor afraid that if Sc**ter finds out before her deal is finalized, he’ll ruin it?

Let’s think about the timing, for a minute. We know Taylor was in LA a lot last spring and summer. Shamrock’s office is in Burbank, an LA suburb. Spade left in July and Karlie got pregnant at some point in this timeframe. Idk if any of this is related, but that Spade riddle about the Ides of March haunts me. 9 months before March 15th is June 15th, which is right around the time Spade finished the THEY ARE FREE riddles. That’s also around the time we think Karlie got pregnant. Maybe this is all a coincidence, idk. 

Taylor posts about her masters on November 16th. Jerklie is also papped that day. On November 17th, Karlie confirms her pregnancy with a video. Evermore (and Ivy) come out a few weeks later. Again, just interesting how the timing aligned. 

November is ALSO when Kaylor’s PR gets weird. Taylor says Toe is WB in the LPSS, Karlie is pregnant and still stunting, Taylor is re-recording, we have no idea what’s going on.

To try to tie this all together… I wonder if Taylor is tricking us. Maybe there won’t be any re-recordings beyond Love Story, because she’s been working with Shamrock behind the scenes to oust Sc**ter. Maybe all the buzz she’s created about her re-recordings is to throw everyone off, including Sc**ter and all his people. Maybe this is why the All Knower account on Twitter is still up– because Taylor’s team is involved and feeding them the info they want to get out. Maybe this is why Taylor’s PR is weird– steer the conversation to “Toe is WB” etc. to give everyone something totally unrelated to her masters to talk about. Maybe this is why Karlie is still bearding– either to cover for Taylor or trick Sc**ter. Maybe the reason Taylor wouldn’t sign Sc**ter’s NDA is because she’s going to come for him the moment he’s not profiting off her masters.

Anyway, I know this is wild. I don’t expect this to happen, as much as I want it to. I only bring all this up because of the discussions tonight about whether the “masters case” is closed. I thought I was the only one who has been wondering if maybe it isn’t. Realistically though, I expect to be completely wrong.

Pro: I think I saw that all her albums were registered with copyright. Good theory though!

I am 100% convinced pumpkin anon is legit. I mean there’s just no way they could’ve written these messages w so many parallels to ttpd w some phrases being almost exactly the same. And there’s undoubtedly more connections between them. My mind is absolutely blown rn

When you see them back to back like this...very compelling in my opinion 😂💕🌼

🔈SOUND ON🔈

As you probably already know, Jack Antonoff and Taylor Swift have worked on many of her albums together and are pretty close friends. So, did Jack accidentally slip one of Taylor’s secrets during this interview with Marc Maron? I’ll let you decide! Here’s the transcript:

Jack: “There’s a better chance that if I’m working with a woman we’re going to get along. They’re not going to say like, “this dude f*cking gave it to me last night” or like “I just piled through like these 4 guys over the weekend””

Interviewer: “Hahaha. You’re not going to have that conversation with Taylor Swift?”

Jack “No”

Interviewer “Hahah, okay”

Jack: “I like women. And particularly gay women.

Interviewer “Heh. Yeah. (Pause) Is she gay??”

Jack (Fumbling) No...but, but I work a lot with Sar-Tegan and Sara and they’re gay.”

Interviewer “(Joking tone) Are you sure we don’t have a breaking story here? Did you just tip it? (Normal tone) well, that’s nice”.

The "Hey kids! Spelling is fun!" fandom is dying 😢 reblog if you still think spelling is fun and want kids to know <3

Why the two "contradicting" flags? - A story about CompHet

Wow what an emotional Monday! I swear I cried on three different occasions today over different videos of Taylor singing about daylight and being out of the woods and rolling the stone away all whilst draped in pride flag colours and purple glitter (purple is the gayest colour!).

But I see a lot of confusion about the seeming contradiction of wearing a bi flag dress on Friday night and a lesbian flag dress on Sunday. And while we don’t know which of those (if any) labels she identifies with, I don’t see a contradiction at all, I see a progression. She could have worn these dresses in any order, but she specifically chose to build up to the gayest one by wearing

💙💜🩷 -> 💜 -> ❤️🧡🩷

That’s a story of unpacking comphet to me. And before you come at me, no, bisexuality is not a stepping stone identity, it can absolutely be a permanent label. But the journey of slowly unpacking societal expectations and trying on identities, landing on one that maybe fit for a while but wasn’t the right one in the end is also very common, especially for queer women. We get raised into the expectation of centring our sexuality, our gender expression, our whole lives around men. That’s the heteronormative world we live in. If your environment is religious, there’s an added layer of unlearning. Unlearning what you’ve been taught you should feel, and listening to yourself about what it is you actually feel. Unlearning that being anything other than straight is bad or sinful when you’ve been raised to be the good girl. Yes, I went through the same stages. A lot of women seemingly did during the pandemic when we were all having a break from heteronormativity and sitting at home reading Untamed by Glennon Doyle 😉. (Yes, Taylor did too, she tweeted Glennon’s wife to say how much the book had helped her. And there are actually a lot of nods to this book in both Taylor’s lyrics and the June Bates poetry books).

Coming all that way out the other end to where you can fully accept your identity and wear your colours proudly is such a special and joyful moment and happy, visible queer people still bring me to happy tears every time. And for a self-declared people pleaser that’s such a big step. I can’t tell you how many people hate lesbians simply for not centring their lives around men and rejecting the male gaze. Especially in the entertainment industry, you can maybe be bi or unlabelled but don’t ever date or (god forbid) kiss someone of the same sex in public. Rose by any other name is a scandal… and all that. But no more shame, now she’s out there full of smiles and queer joy twirling in those screaming colours. And I’ve not felt this elated on her behalf since she sang Hits Different for the first time in Chicago last year. What a joyful Monday indeed. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

oh honey is gonna get those streams yaaaas!!

*Sigh*... Taylor literally writes a gorgeous love song as the closer for her Lover album called Daylight, which is synonymous with sunshine, which is what she called Karlie in her 22nd birthday post for her, and in the song happiness Taylor mentions that across the great divide with the person who hurt her, there is a glorious sunrise... You know what shines after the sun rises? *Daylight*... In all probability, happiness is about Scott B's betrayal and Taylor's complicated feelings towards him as a former father figure and how her feelings towards him and his influence over her affected the choices she's made about her romantic relationship with her Sunshine. Writers don't use extended metaphors in multiple seperate pieces of their body of work like Taylor's thing with blue and gold, windows, and daylight/the sun for no reason, FFS 🙄

taylor swift is actually for the girls who were known but never popular, fit in with many friend groups but never in the group chats, talked to at school but never invited to the parties, for the girls who have friends but still feel lonely because they were never their best friends favorites

6 years of 1989 / october 27, 2014 - october 27, 2020

we begin our story in new york. there once was a girl known by everyone and no one. her heart belonged to someone who couldn’t stay. they loved each other recklessly. they paid the price. she danced to forget him. he drove past her street each night. she made friends and enemies. he only saw her in his dreams. then, one day, he came back. timing is a funny thing, and everyone was watching. she lost him, but she found herself and somehow ... that was EVERYTHING.
