Taking The Quiz When

She’s got more chemistry with that lipstick than kissing Josh 😂

Karlie Kloss has been featured on the cover of Vogue (US and International) over 50 times throughout her iconic career in fashion, making her one of the top 50 models in history to achieve such a feat! She made her first appearance on a Vogue cover in 2009 at the age of 17, and has since cemented herself as one of this generation’s top models.

i wanna be LSK but… //

I’m so sorry anon, but I personally find it really funny when people hear the songs where taylor is working through her feelings of being betrayed by Scott B and attribute them to karlie instead.

It’s like finding a man holding a gun standing over a dead body and saying, hang on a minute… what if the real murderer is the victim’s gf… because two of her friends liked a gossipy tweet written by a known shit-stirrer!

that is to say, we know for a fact that taylor felt deeply betrayed by scott b, seeing as he’s verifiably the actual person who sold her masters to scooter, after treating taylor like family since she was very young. it’s pretty self-evident he deserves the level of vitriol in the smallest man who ever lived (besides the other descriptive details that link him to tsmwel, mtr etc).

as for taylor and karlie suddenly never being seen together again (seemingly drifting apart a whole year before the heist even happened, remember?), well she hasn’t spoken on that, so naturally we read between the lines in the songs to find out. some people have taken the masters heist songs to be about karlie, and ran with that. but others see karlie and taylor’s retreat into privacy reflected in songs under the ‘love blackout’ theme (especially around here, you’re on a longtime kaylor blog 🙈)

love blackout = the hints taylor has put out again and again that she intentionally distanced her public image from karlie’s because it was too dangerous to carry on as openly as they had at first. 2016 election sadness themes, secret love themes, all consistent over the years. all while writing new love songs that use callbacks to the rep muse, to yail even 🥺. as if taylor’s been using all the confusion and her masterful quill of misdirection to achieve her priority of protecting karlie. not protecting karlie’s public image and clout with swifties, which she doesn’t need to maintain her success because she was always successful in her own right! no, it’s all for Karlie The Person in their secret bubble of reality. all this showmanship, you know. the great war, hello!!!! too many songs to name where the kaylor chandelier is safely out of sight, but you can still see flickers through the boarded up windows ❣️

so forgive me for having a chuckle. to any anons who sincerely🛸want to believe, I’m just throwing it out there that there are plenty of us that never found the karlie-betrayer theory convincing at all. if you take a closer look at everything, the timeline of events and all the songs since, does it really make sense? (especially when there are so many shitty men in the mix who are more obviously to blame lol)

~ if you post, thank you for facilitating this rant 9wing, I’ll get off my soapbox now xxx

yup yup

i think a lot of people are predisposed to blaming karlie and so everything becomes a sort of confirmation bias.. which partially, i would argue, was by design.. so in a sense i do not fault gaylors or others for falling into this hole. but i do sometimes feel like faulting them a tiny bit for those who never climb out of it. there’s plenty of information and clues needed to figure it out and climb out of it.

one thing i don’t like about the whole “let’s not talk about muses” discourse is while the spirit of it is supposed to be “let’s study why these songs sound gay instead of commenting taylor lyrics on these people’s instagram pages,” in practice the phrasing almost is like giving yourself permission to pass judgement on the people in taylor’s story and then never reevaluate them. people often say ~lets not talk muses that’s invasive and gross~ and conveniently refuse to adjust their perception of karlie (for example) based on what taylor is putting out there, while making convenient exceptions for any interpretation they find that works to reinforce their already negative perception of her. and then after bitching about her they’ll cover their timeline in lisa frank dolphins because apparently that’s what paradise is. i dunno. it all feels dystopian to me atp 😆

Does anyone else feel like they’re at the point in a horror movie where they have an inkling of what’s about to happen and they want to warn everyone but also are intrigued and can’t look away? 🫣

She’s about to pull off the biggest bait and switch. Everyone thinking Karma is a song about good karma coming to those who keep their side of the street clean and while it is for some, it’s also about how the general public, media, industry, and toxic fandom are getting their 🍑es handed to them…

/you flipped the script for the hell of it,

addicted to betrayal, but you’re relevant

you’re terrified to look down

cause if you dare, you’ll see the glare of everyone

you’ve burned just to get there

It’s coming back around/

/watch her put your opps on the throne,

got you wavin’ pretty white flags, feenin’ for that cash

now ya switchin’ up ya behavior, thinkin it’ll save ya/

Karma IS the guy on the Chiefs…

but not in the way everyone is led to believe.

The response is going to be HUGE.

One of my closest friends who has listened to me discuss Kaylor over the years listened to my 2 Gaylor podcasts and has been deep diving Kaylor for a week……

and she’s like OH MY GOD…..ITS TRUE

This is what we mean when we say it can’t be taught—people *must* do the research themselves with all the mountains of data and evidence still available online for it to truly click

TN is sending happy bday to those who celebrate.

My kaylor deep dive began almost a year ago (so I am but a teensy n00b). It has been a journey! I have reached a number of conclusions and have so many thoughts!

I think the two love each other a lot—Taylor really leans into this in her music, and definitely seems to use her music and her art to profess her love. Sometimes I want to make a list of things she loves about Karlie (based on song analysis alone—though one can draw conclusions from tour visuals, interviews, etc. too).

I do wonder whether Karlie’s life would look very different without Taylor. Would she be out? Would she be in a lavender marriage? Sometimes I feel like Karlie is living a “put baby in a corner” life, but then I realize that there is no way Taylor likes the circumstances they are in. Taylor is the tortured poet though—Karlie is her sunshine. It stands to reason that Taylor carries so much pain and guilt and Karlie is the one trying to get her to see the bright sides of things. I do believe that they have [redacted] bc Karlie wanted to and Karlie convinced Taylor. I think this has been a beautiful thing for the both of them. Who knows what Karlie has agreed to keep their relationship safe? Who knows what Taylor has agreed to or endured? They seem to balance each other, which is nice. My gut is somehow telling me that the lavender marriage broke Taylor’s heart a little, even if she agreed to it. The circumstances of it all are something to grieve.

All that said, I’m glad that Taylor is conveying Karlie’s perspective more in her music. It’s a way to honor her and I think shows a lot of character growth in Taylor.

Jesus, why is it that all of my posts are novels? lol

Butterflies and VSFS 13/14

we all know the famous butterfly Taylor used for her mural and how it looks similar to Karlie’s reminiscent of her first outfit during hers and Taylor’s performance together

and of course the theme has been replicated a couple of times especially during Hozier’s Take me to Church (coincidentally both Karlie and Taylor were backstage)

and these were the butterfly wings that do not really look anything like the Lover era butterfly

*all from the same segment

as if this game has not been embedded in each of my brain cells

the photos used on the articles are also funny

Whispers

I’ve been thinking a lot about the theme of whispering in Taylor Swift’s lyrics, as ‘whisper’ is used repeatedly, album after album (36 times total).

I first noticed the connection of present day Taylor speaking to her muse in imgonnagetyouback the same way that she does in Enchanted.

This got me thinking about when it was that Taylor actually met Karlie, which if you do a deep dive into the lore as @sophietv did, you can see that it was likely in 2008. Enchanted was released in 2010.

Then there’s the connotation of whispering about a secret love, a forbidden love. It continues throughout Taylor’s work, a constant struggle to be with the one she cannot.

There are references to shared, secretive moments, whispered confessions. She’s with her lover in the dark, hidden away from public sight. Her true identity is concealed.

The connections, or Konnections rather, are so strong. When you peel back the layers of each album, you notice the continuity of themes and a singular muse in Taylor’s work. Her truth is clear. Her muse is undeniable.
