I Need You Guys To Listen So Bad, But I’m At Least Glad People On Twitter Are Starting To Talk About

When you finally can hang out with bae 😻💕😻💕😻💕

Midnights is not a breakup album by the way

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

deuxmoi posted a blind about an a list singer expecting but not announcing anytime soon cause she’s all about hiding it rn. And the sender called themselves Big Ben, maybe alluding to London. Which makes me think it could be T, idk.. especially bc of the big ben thing.

Taylor is referred to as A+ list on other sites. I don’t follow that Instagram so I am not familiar with their usage.

@harleygusman: 💞😊

I’ve gotten a couple of anons wondering if I have, or you should have, some sympathy for Yael. Just to be clear I do not, and don’t think anyone else should. And I don’t think Taylor does either. Remember what she said after the masters thing:

(You may also choose to believe or not that she called her “a d-slur cunt” in front of a party of influential people including at least one friend. You have to be the judge of whether you believe this, but if she did, that friend would have been able to confirm it to Taylor.)

This is, I believe, what prompted Taylor to release Mad Woman. “What do you expect me to say to that? Does a scorpion sting when fighting back?” In other words, did Yael and scooter really think Taylor was just going to let this go? Did Yael (a Scorpio) let it go? “Women like hunting witches too, doing your dirtiest work for you.”

I just read a gossip article this morning that rumor is that Yael was privately unhappy with the whole way scooter handled the masters thing. Sure. This is EXACTLY the same sort of rumor that was passed around late last year, that Kim K was sorry for how Taylor was treated during Snapchatgate and that Kim K sent an apology note to Taylor saying she regretted it and felt like she was manipulated into participating. Sure. Even if any of that is remotely true you still did that and tried to ruin her career (and arguably her personal life) and you were very deliberate about it and it went on for months, even years and you bragged about it. Don’t give me this “I’m just a woman manipulated by bad men” sob story after the public opinion pendulum has swung against you. You’re a dick, plain and simple.

I’ve also gotten anons asking about scooter, and whether he has always had this bad of a reputation (since so many seem to be relishing in his marriage trouble) and I can’t say for sure because I’ve only followed his career for 3.5 years. But my impression was that yes he has had a bad reputation, but worked very very hard at reforming his image for the last 5-6 years. And he almost succeeded. I think he was generally doing a good job with it, and while many in the industry knew he was a typical Hollywood sleaze, they didn’t quite realize how awful he is, and the GP had quite a high opinion of him. But then he made a big mistake. That mistake was underestimating Taylor’s hatred for him and not realizing that she would sacrifice money and time and energy in order to get back at him. Most just go along with these situations because they want money and don’t want to make enemies. Taylor said “not this time sleazeball.” And I think it absolutely blind-sided scooter. I think he is a textbook narcissist and has an outsized opinion of his own abilities (classic example of “thinks he’s the smartest in the room” when he most definitely is not.) And if Yael has regrets about any of it, it’s that scooter made this mistake and took it too far and this was the result. Not that he did what he did and she thinks it was unethical or slimey, but that he did it poorly and ended up the loser and she also looks like a loser. That’s what she’s mad at.

All that being said, we are now seeing and will continue to see a barrage of scooter and Yael trying to control this narrative in a way that puts them in the best light. Things will be amicable. They’ll try to make it work. It will be a conscious uncoupling. They will be supportive co-parents of their kids, so much respect, yadda yadda yadda. Him being a cheating sleazbell will never be openly mentioned. Because in the world of PR if you ignore something long enough it might go away, and if you retell the same lies over and over it eventually becomes somewhat believable. Some will come from scooter’s people to paint him in the best light, some from Yael’s doing the same, and some from them both as agreed upon. This is the PR game. Every single thing you see or read from them will be feeding a narrative to paint them in the best light. And on the other side, whoever is leaking things that are unflattering will likely continue to do so. And some will believe one side and some will believe the other, some will openly say one thing while privately believing another. And some gossip sites will relish in the dirt and some will sell the more positive story they are fed, whatever gets clicks. Also note that none of these gossip articles mention “the master of spin has a couple side flings”from Taylor’s mouth. They talk about their feud around the masters. They talk about his cheating rumors. But no one connects the dots to Mad Woman. It’s fascinating. They talk about his cheating rumors but they don’t talk about where those rumors came from. Why that is, I’m not entirely sure, but I’ve noted it.

Meanwhile, I will continue to watch and see what comes of the career of the wannabe media mogul now rebranded as Scott Braun, because godammit it’s fascinating and juicy.

“the lips i used to call home” but like in a bestie way

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!

Kimby Kloss (or Karlie tbh) liking a folklore meme?! What more do people need?

I just saw this... very fucking loud if you ask me. Besides all the BIG SUR pictures she posted yesterday!
