Illuminating: Style And Its Obvious Clues

Illuminating: Style and its obvious clues

Opinions have been varied on who Style is about, obviously many claim it's about Harry Styles because of their relationship, as well as Dianna because of her James Dean photoshoot.

Even though I knew of Karlie's James Dean photoshoot on Dec 2012, I was still on the fence since the lyrics is talking about the cycle of intense love, crashing down, and coming back to the same person. So if they just met, how can this be about her, right?

However, since Taylor's clues have pointed to the timeline being a public narrative, such as:

First introduced by Bevan with Emma Stone in April 27 2008

Karlie on magazine mentions meeting and talking at the Met 2011 and baking dates

Mentioned Karlie unprompted on her 1st US Vogue Cover (does she do that a lot on print?)

released songs from the rep album such as timeless (confirmed single) and ICSY (sonically/lyrically according to critics) under Speak Now vault (screenshot below)

Karlie wearing an Enchanted gem on her bracelet (come on, how many songs do you have and you picked Enchanted?)

I am inclined to believe they have met longer than the public knows.

Clue # 1 - Style was written and recorded by Feb 19, 2014 while Dianna's InStyle magazine was Feb 2014 and Karlie's was Dec 2012. Not definitive but it's a start.

Clue #2 - might be the most obvious one yet and it's in the lyrics

"You got that long hair, slicked back, white T-shirt"

Both had the slicked back hair, only Karlie has worn a white t-shirt.

Clue #3 - "And I got that red lip classic thing that you like"

from Vogue 73 questions - she rarely wears red but sure it's favorite

Clue #4 - Walking to Style during VSFS 2014 as the King and Queen of chess and Taylor recreating this moment every eras tour?

Clue #5

I mean, can't be a coincidence, right?

A few times in between Karlie was allegedly with Leigh or Toni while Taylor we know has had a few flings as well.

Lyric parallels

"So it goes" is such an iconic line for them and I believe that Taylor has purposely made it a title in one of the rep songs for a reason

There are 13 "so it goes" in the song including the title

"'round and 'round" - While the YAIL reference sounds a perfect callback to the 1st VSFS it could also refer to them circling each other, chasing each other like cat and mouse (Paper Rings), being on different sides of Atlantic (Come back, be Here)

and how many times have we heard Karlie with the phrase "never go(es) out of style"? - this year alone she said it twice while being interviewed.
