Renaissance Story from an Elder
In 2022, over dinner chatting about music, a good girlfriend casually dropped “have you heard of Gaylor and that one theory is that Reputation is actually about Karlie Kloss?” Record scratch- What?! 🤯I need to know more as this did not line up with what I had thought.
After departing dinner, late into the night I dove into her suggested podcasts, PowerPoints, and blogs. I fell hard and fast through the rabbit hole! 🐇🕳️!
Now I hate to admit this but I had gone through life just casually listening to music, not really reading and analyzing lyrics, themes or parallels in an artists discography. I was bad at remembering lyrics, often singing the wrong words, so I just never dug past the surface….until my 👀 came upon ALL OF THIS on Kaylor Tumbler!
As a former lurker of a few of your beautiful Kaylor blogs, in 2023 I felt the need to go off anon in order to “heart” just about every post I saw and contribute to the konversations.
Never in my life, would I have thought I’d find a such a welcoming, smart, witty, beautiful niche community on Tumbler (I didn’t even know what this site was until I fell down in the 🐇🕳️)
Still with reading?! Great, now the most beautiful part 🌈!
Through all this deep dive into Kaylor history and current Kaylor, bearding, learning so much about queer flagging, queer history & cultural references and starting to listen, really listen, to more queer artists, IG algorithms doing their thang, seeing so many representations of the LGBTQIA community, I had some honest conversations with myself and finally admitted that I was not 100% straight.
Look I had some fun in my 20’s and there were many alcohol-infused situations that sober me would chalk up to being under the influence and moved on with hetero life.
After going through a few months of a 2023 sober-curious journey, simultaneously while Kaylor’ing, I just knew I couldn’t explain away some resurfaced 🌈 feelings. I needed to be honest with myself and my spouse of 17 years, that I am beautiful bi. 🌈
I haven’t lost any love or attraction to my husband at all and this vulnerable realization has only made our relationship stronger. He is so supportive and I am so thankful, what a relief off my mind.
I guess to sum it up, witnessing one of the greatest love stories unfold is truly an honor, like we’re in a secret club.
Kaylor has helped me become a more honest, educated, understanding, and empathetic person! With the deepest gratitude I thank this community! I’m so excited for what may unfold in the coming months & years.
Here to stay and Gay for Tay!
Do you think Karlie turning up to the LA leg of the Eras Tour with Mikey and Misha had any positive effect on Karlie's reputation? I can't understand why she'd go and then seemingly be 'ghosted' by Taylor, if it was part of some kind of grand plan
hmm im not sure the angle you are going for with how you wrote this so sorry if i misinterpret but, at any rate, firstly, i dont think it had any net positive or negative effect on her reputation. because fandom opinions of karlie are kinda set in stone.
sometimes i wonder, for the average consumer or swiftie or gaylor dead set on the idea that karlie went uninvited, can’t all your interpretations just be as simple as wanting to go support someone you love, and going to the show where you felt the most physically comfortable to do so after having just given birth?
separately, idk, i felt the quietness of the moment, the stolen glances, taylor walking out with the same brand of bag as karlie and a glass of wine, and then not being on socials, to be quite beautiful and sweet.
some people out there act like taylor ghosted karlie (because taylor didn’t share anything with her fans?) when i think it’s pretty clear that that weekend she up and ghosted her ‘fans’ 🙈
Anti-Karlie gaylors make me laugh so much.
Sure. The real muses (multiple, because apparently Taylor was a horn dog that slept with every woman she came across) were all SO special and hidden and such a secret that Taylor needed Karlie to be a beard for them, with Karlie being kind enough to let Taylor’s fans harass and bully her for years, and then needed a man to be a beard to cover Karlie. Multiple men, at that.
Don’t like Karlie? That that up with Taylor!
She’s the one that recreated their Style VSFS walk and does it night after night after night.
And that’s just one of the absurd amount of examples. No need to twist yourselves into pretzels to prove she’s not really actually important to Taylor and only the other women are. Just because you don’t like her, that doesn’t mean she doesn’t exist.
We don’t talk about this enough (March 4, 2023)
Karlie’s Facebook page was “hacked” and posted a timeline of the Kaylor friendship.
Swifties attacked her for it, and “Stay away from her” was trending.
And yes I have receipts. So so many receipts.
👀👀👀
karlie specifically placing & tilting the 🇬🇧❤️ to be right next to the T on her story is so intentional 😭
hahaha i didn’t notice that
I have a confession… never thought I’d say this but I’m a sports gay now 😅
well just slightly. i’ve been following women’s basketball/the wnba for a few months now and watching the games and it’s been fun. also here for the lesbian drama tbh (!!!) and it’s just so much more entertaining and exciting watching women play, like it brings a new life to it. and I like basketball more than other sports. anyways, the attention and attendance the wnba is getting is at an all time high which is great! i hope it only gets bigger and that more people invest in women. has anyone else been watching?

Showmanship, concerning artistic performing such as in Theatre, is the skill of performing in such a manner that will appeal to an audience or aid in conveying the performance's essential theme or message.
It drives me fucking nuts that Swiffers are trying to pretend that Robin is about Taylor and all of her friends deciding to a simple little white lie to one random little kid she knows when Taylor is literally saying in the song with the line about showmanship that this little boy that she loves so so so much is the only reason that she hasn't turned around and mauled the crap out of her abusive handlers at the metaphorical circus that is her life yet because she's reluctant to put her beloved little guy through the chaotic fallout that her doing that will have when he's still so little that he doesn't even realize that the world can sometimes be such a mean and cruel place yet
Yeahhhh no I’m gonna need to see these two side by side.
Guys I think we’re in the home stretch rn
