New Kaylors, This Is A PSA

New Kaylors- PLEASE LISTEN TO ME!

Pun unintended.

Do not, and I repeat, do not listen to TTB. I am a seasoned Kaylor, and I can assure you, you will fare far better if you avoid her blog entirely. Trust me, I am speaking from experience.

I have been a Kaylor for years and it was only a couple of months back when Taylor said she was “advocat[ing] for a community [she] was not a part of” (that damn article) when the spell wore off and I realized that I had been buying into something non-existent for ages.

Now before I go any further, I would like to clarify my stance on Kaylor. I think it’s dead, and that they’ve broken up. I wish it wasn’t so, but it would seem that their love story has met a bitter end. I still think that they dated, or at least had something special sometime from 1989 into Reputation, but it has become increasingly apparent that they are no longer close.

For years, I would repost TTB’s asks on my IG page, I would reblog her posts, I would send her asks. I bought her, and what’s more I bought into Spade (will discuss Spade later). I was a total fan, I thought of her as the queen of Kaylors, our ultimate treasure and resource.

I was wrong.

For starters, she is unnecessarily rude towards Joe. I mean, personally, I don’t trust Joshua Kushner as far as I can throw him (I don’t trust any Kushner, and I’ve been feeling kind of distant towards Karlie on account of this association, and other factors), and I don’t really like Joe, nor do I dislike him (”it isn’t love, it isn’t hate, it’s just indifference”) but Joe doesn’t have any criminal ties. Joe isn’t related to one of the biggest crime families in America. Joe is an actor from England (however he is a Pisces, so I don’t know, he could be way more sinister than I thought) and I just don’t think that we need to harbor such negative feelings towards him. There are better, more Kaylor-y ways we could be spending our time, like by streaming DWOHT or making cute Kaylor edits and then hyping up each other’s Kaylor edits. She scribbled over his face when posting a picture of him on her blog, and the reason given for that behavior was that she didn’t want him gaining publicity or exposure from her blog (which she is allegedly convinced Taylor herself frequents, take note of the word ‘allegedly’). I mean, pretty sure all of the Kaylors would be familiar with Joe anyway, given his connection to Taylor, so I am not sure what she gains by being so adamant about him not receiving any publicity from her blog.

Secondly, and this is something I want to place great emphasis on here. Taylor is not coming out, not anytime soon, anyway, or at least, I don’t think so, but I don’t have a confidential source to consolidate this information for me, so I don’t know. She could pull an Evelyn Hugo (highly recommend the Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid by the way, sooooooo many Kaylor parallels and just overall a great book) and release details about her relationships and sexuality when she’s retired, but Taylor is not coming out in an edition of Rolling Stone, not now, I don’t think. And if you think Karlie will be, well, I’d like to direct you to her Instagram page. By the way, if you’re also upset about her affiliations with Scooter and Joshua, just unfollow her, it works wonders. Commenting won’t do anything, in fact it probably just pleases Scooter to know how many fans of Taylor’s are irked by Karlie’s connection to him, because that’s just the kind of sick, disgusting man he is.

And speaking of those two, Kaylor is over. Well, I think so anyway. Kaylor is honestly speculation, no matter how much there is to suggest it’s real, and I don’t know Taylor or Karlie personally, so do not take this as fact. I don’t have any secret sources who send me riddles or private info, I’m just going off of what I see and hear. I mean, Taylor could be making out with Karlie right now, or Taylor could be on the dark web trying to take a hit out on her. The point is, we know nothing, no matter how much we wish we did.

Furthermore, let’s get into the main reason why TTB is so popular: Spade. Spade is her… I don’t know. At first, I thought he was a godsend, but once I stopped buying into her posts, I realised how nonsensical it seemed that some high-up representative of Taylor or Karlie would be communicating with this one Kaylor account feeding it tidbits of information about what would be one of the most confidential relationships in Hollywood. I mean, there are multiple Kaylor accounts that have a significant following- so why just TTB if this is a representative of one of the girls? Why not reach out to multiple big blogs if you want to The most logical explanation would be that Spade is TTB’s own creation that she uses to garner interest in her blog and further her own agenda. A more reach-y, though not totally implausible theory is that Spade, or even TTB herself (she gives very little information about her actual line of work) is a low-level employee of Team Klossy, or an intern over there, who uses Kaylor as a way of retaining some of Karlie’s fans, given that many are mad at her over the Scooter thing (because TTB is not the only Kaylor account that claims to have sources), but I doubt it. The point is, Spade is a farce. Spade predominantly (pretty much exclusively) messages TTB in the form of cryptic riddles, which, with a little shuffling, pretty much go along with whatever yarn TTB is spinning that week. And then on top of that, there are allegedly “private messages” between her and Spade that contain secrets she isn’t allowed to divulge. Okay? It’s cult-ish, almost, the enigmatic Spade and the glorious TTB who heralds his messages about the mysterious complexities of Kaylor through apocryphal missives. Biblical, is it not? It makes you feel special, like you hold secrets that others are not privy too, and it is a marvelous, truly euphoric feeling.

The main reason I’m writing this isn’t because I have some personal vendetta against TTB. I’m writing this because I know that the majority of Kaylor shippers are (mostly young, some are older) gay women, a lot of whom did not come from particularly supportive homes, who seek solace and comfort in knowing that a woman they admire and look up to is just like them and knows what they’re experiencing, just like myself. People who find happiness in the queer subtext of Taylor’s albums and in there being a community that’s dedicated to the loving pairing of two women. It’s not about fetishism (by the way, for any non-Kaylors reading this, please stop throwing that word around every time you come across a Kaylor) nor projecting nor sexualization, it’s about love and support and comfort, and in some cases discovery, because I know that Kaylor helped me realise my identity and I know it did for others too. And quite frankly, I don’t think it’s fair that TTB spouts stuff she knows is garbage when she is aware of this large demographic of Kaylors. And that’s the reason for this post, because I don’t want some other, young, naive Kaylor falling into the same trap I did where they take her word as gospel only to feel deflated and humiliated when they wake up and realise they’ve been buying into utter fantasies.

And no, I am not saying that TTB is solely responsible for this. As I mentioned I was naive and desperate to believe, and Taylor herself didn’t exactly dissipate rumors, especially during the YNTCD rollout but personally, her actions feel quite manipulative. She keeps telling her readers that Kaylor is still alive and the contracts are over and it is not good, not for anyone’s mental health, especially those deeply invested in Kaylor, to keep buying into it. I don’t know why she keeps pushing Kaylor, maybe she’s too proud to let it go or maybe she’s hoping to generate enough engagement to start collecting ad revenue, I genuinely don’t know what she gains by beating this dead horse, but I have reason to believe it is nothing admirable. Hope and optimism is admirable yes, but not when it turns into naivete and desperation.

This ire is not directed at any of the other Kaylors, just her and the way she proudly peddles these lies, knowing of all of the hopeful Kaylors out there who are being lulled into a false sense of security. I implore you, please try to look at her page objectively and look at what she posts. The secret messaging, the cryptic codes. I know when you’re right there, taking it all in, how exciting it feels to know something that not everyone else does, to see all of the little ways Karlie and Taylor communicate- but please just try to look at it from an objective point-of-view.

Now, this part, I cannot confirm all of the tales, so please do not take this as fact because I could be very wrong about this statement, but I have seen screenshots of various messages and heard of some terrible stories about her bullying, and attacking anyone who criticizes her with disturbing levels of vitriol and malice. Former Kaylors, current Kaylors and Toe shippers have all shared screenshots or stories of her being awfully vicious towards people, and I just don’t believe that the Kaylor community, a place of support and care for those who might not receive it at home, should be tolerable of such aggravated behavior. She even came after @thetaylorfiles at one point, a blogger who has always respectfully critiqued some of the more whimsical aspects of her blog and the enigma that is Spade, which was uncalled for and rude.

Again, this isn’t some spiteful attack on TTB, this is a heartfelt plea to all of the new Kaylors who are in the same position as I was, please try not to listen. I know it is tempting and it sounds convincing and damn, is she persuasive, but it is a lie. She is a fraud, and what’s more, it has been made abundantly clear that she does not care. For someone that speaks so highly of their own maturity and rationale when engaged in combat with someone, her willingness to lure people, particularly new Kaylors who haven’t found their feet yet, to me is gross. I can’t tell if she knows she is belaboring the continued existence of Kaylor and enjoys her notoriety too much to acknowledge the truth or if she is genuinely still under the impression that Taylor and Karlie are still together, if it is the latter, fine, maybe she’ll learn one day. If it is the former, then I can safely say that I have no respect for her. People look up to her. People admire her. People worship her. And if she is truly willing to drag those people along, then there is nothing more to say.

Now, before I close off, I would like to reiterate that, this is my opinion. This is the experience of a big Kaylor, who, just like most other Kaylors that frequent Tumblr, listened to and loved TTB. But then the spell ended. Because that is exactly what this is. It’s a spell. It’s an illusion. You can wear a mask and dance the night away at a masquerade ball, but eventually, all that dancing will make the mask fall right off. And for me, that mask fell off. Once it did, I felt sad, embarrassed even, that I had let myself fall into this myriad of deceit. And once again, I will clarify that I am not implying that TTB was solely responsible for this. Nobody would ever be convinced of the existence of Kaylor by just one blog alone, Taylor and Karlie’s actions were obviously the driving force, but she went along with the exact same sins that she condemned Taylor and Karlie for. Enforcing an illusion. Playing a long game of charades. TTB is by no means the only Kaylor blog out there that claims to have “sources”, but she is one of the biggest and most unrelenting Kaylors out there, which is why I would

Now, if you’ve read this and you still want to take a gander at her page, or, if I have unintentionally increased her viewership, please just keep this in the back of your mind. I have nothing to gain, and I have nothing to lose. I have no personal grudge against TTB, I have never had an unpleasant interaction with her. But please, I implore you, do not fall into the same trap I did. Be objective, be reasonable and keep your wits about you.

Some Kaylor blogs that I like include:

@kaylorfossil

@kayloralisonswift (if you’re in the same boat I am and you have some queries, or if you would like a more objective opinion from a Kaylor)

@kaylorrepdetective

@kaylorswiftkloss13

@femmetay​ (a personal favourite of mine, always has a great take)

@fearlyssa​

@kaylorkloft​

@kaylorgifs​

@fallfrovmgrace​

(I will add to this list as I go).

Oh, and, word to the wise, you may hear whisperings of a blogger named Enty, who runs “Crazy Days and Nights”. I recommend steering clear of Enty too, his story changes with the tide.

And by the way, this is in no way an attack on anyone who reads or believes in her stuff, I am not saying anyone here is stupid for doing so and I am not trying to make anyone who believes in her feel bad, because I used to do it to. I just want to encourage objective thinking at the very least, if I cannot dissuade people from reading her blog. 

ive been thinking about the plotholes in the 2016 met gala narrative. Its absolutely crazy that no one seems to question the whole swiftvin-hiddleswift-toe timeline and we obviously know that none of the above relationships are real. but another strange thing i only just noticed is that why was joe alwyn, up and coming new actor with no lead roles or recognition was even doing at THE met gala…how did he even get an invite..i doubt he could pay $30,000 even if he got an invite from somewhere

Yes, this is a curious question that has been discussed previously. I believe he was there with an actor. But someone else can chime in with more details.

I'm proud of you

Alright! Here it is! I made this for my girlfriend to understand my theories, but some of you wanted to see it so I’ll share it here! 

The rest is under the cut!

Keep reading

Do you ever think about how in Taylor’s widely-recognized pro-LGBTQ+ song You Need to Calm Down, she included a very significant line that says “Shade never made anybody less gay”? (x) Do you ever think about how Taylor is a master with word-play and in exclaiming gay and shade, she is not only saying shade (as in homophobia and hatred targeted at members of the community) cannot diminish someone’s gayness, but also that the metaphorical shade from being closeted doesn’t diminish someone’s gayness either, that not being out doesn’t make anyone any less gay

Or about how in The Archer she sings “I’ve got a hundred thrown-out speeches I almost said to you” (could this perhaps be coming out speeches?) and “They see right through. Can you see right through me? I see right through me”?

Or about how in Daylight, she ends the album Lover with, “You gotta step into the daylight and let it go”?

Or do you ever think about Taylor has publicly recognized the delicacy surrounding coming out? How in her 2018 pride speech before Delicate, Taylor prefaced the song acknowledging this saying, “I want to send my love and respect to everybody who in their journey and in their life hasn’t yet felt comfortable enough to come out ... and may you do that on your own time and may we end up with a world where everyone can live and love equally and no one has to be afraid to say how they feel”?

Do you ever think about any of that? Because I do a looooot.

Wait for the signal, and I’ll meet you after dark Show me the places where others gave you scars

Taylor Swift — Willow (2020)

i’m about to fuck shit up yall

🖐🏻

raise your hand if folklore has been an escape, a cosy refuge, and a lifeline for you in your darkest hours

i’m sure someone can provide a better quality screenshot, but i’m pretty sure she’s holding a spade card at 6:51 👀

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!
