I'm proud of you
Cornelia Street address number is '23' Cornelia St—and she sang Cornelia Street '23' days after KK's birthday, which is also the 5th anniversary of KK's attending the Rep Tour in Nashville. She was also 23 years old at the time of meeting KK at the VSFS in New York.
The universe always finds a way, huh—even if it's unintentional.
😉🤡
8/26 show in Mexico City getting Cornelia Street 23 days after KK’s bday 8/3
And Exactly 5 years after Karlie’s post attending rep tour the night before in Nashville
And just to take it another step further 8/26 was the 4year anniversary of her appearance at the VMAs after Lover Album’s release
Where she performed with this backdrop for Lover. 🌙 Imagery we see numerous times throughout the Eras tour.
And which moment ended up being the closing scene from the Miss Americana documentary
And this was her look for the Lover section of the 8/26 show 🦋🦋
To perform Cornelia Street from TS7 at the second to last show in the month of August 3 days after the 4year anniversary of Lover album’s release 8/23/19 (an album released 20 days after Karlz’s bday) is just something special no matter how you slice it 🤡
There will always be something if you look hard enough lol
Note the song choices Taylor sang after the show from Karlie’s hometown, St. Louis
You have only really seen this re-newed friendship since July, since the engagement to Kushner
Enty wonders if Karlie and Taylor have reached some sort of understanding
He wonders in these last 3 months, when Taylor talks about “things that have changed in her life” that were not there two years ago, which would have been 2016
2016 is when Karlie and Taylor stopped publicly hanging out
Enty reads this part of the ig post caption again
The “two years” part sticks out, is Taylor talking about Trump? Karlie? Karlie and Taylor’s estrangement over the past 2 years???
Enty thinks it’s about the latter due to Taylor’s focus on LGBTQ recently and also in the ig post
Enty says take all this and think about how it could all be intertwined
Things Taylor has told us in the past, might not be true
Songs that are supposedly about ex boyfriends, might be about someone else
She is growing up
Something triggered her in the last few months
She wasnt hanging out with Karlie BEFORE Karlie got engaged, THINK ABOUT THAT!
And think about how Taylor has grown
And now that the tour is over, let’s think about where Taylor wants to focus her attention and her LIFE
Thoughts from me:
Enty never mentions Dianna 🤔
Enty seems to really believe that Karlie and Taylor were “estranged” from 2016 until just recently. His voice was full of conviction. He never made any “read between the lines” comments about this sepcific time period
He was trying really hard not to out anyone during the entire episode, some with less grace than others (Taylor’s beards)
He knows that Tree keeps up with his blog (he mentions this in a different episode I listened to afterwards)
He very much focuses on the legal aspects of the rumours about Karlie and Taylor, there has never been one lawsuit, not one cease and desist for any articles or blind item reveals
He really stresses LGBTQ and Taylor’s connection there
There were a lot of pauses, start overs, heavy sighs, lip smacks, “ummmms” and “errrrrrrs” as he was trying to find the best way to say/phrase certian sentences, I think so he could not be held liabel, or to accidentally out anyone.
Just saw a tweet about Tay’s necklaces, and I can’t believe I didn’t realize there were FOUR!!!!! The minimal effort she has to put in into making people believe what she wants them to believe is astounding. Four guys she’s pulled this necklace stunt with, and people just go with it. The devil works hard, but heteronormativity works harder, y’all.

in commemoration of this momentous occasion coming up thirteen days from now on April 18th, i thought i’d share some compiled thoughts that i’ve gathered over the past year. and god, what a year its been. please note the majority of this is an attempt to bring together a bunch of links to posts, and string together a story surrounding the theory, a theory that i still call a theory. in short, i understand this falls in the conjecture column, in lieu of the terms “reach” and “fanfiction.” (well tbh i think its true as hell but im not here to create a convent) and i think this is worth mentioning, it’s meant in good faith 😌
👁The Theory: #all eyes on us
taylor included some part of an image of karlie’s right eye, flipped and placed on the right side of taylor’s face, in the reputation photo used on the cd skin and stadium tour poster.

I like that last post where the only thing in focus is Taylor (and her ass) and everything else is slightly blurry around her. Is that what Karlie-vision is like?

ABOUT
@taylorswift show us how you’ll be listening to the 10 minute version of “All Too Well”
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
