Unbraiding: Start With Begin Again

unbraiding: start with Begin Again

Let me begin this by saying it took me a long time to put this out because I wanted to respect various muse timelines, etc. But I also realized I wanted to get to the truth, or almost the truth since only Taylor knows.

These are based on interviews, Taylor's journal entries, music video/s, and also compared notes to other fandoms like Gleeks and took a look at Liz's lyrics and social media posts.

I start with Begin Again because it is one of the music videos we have that has irrefutable easter egg/proof:

Car plate 11 EZK 92

*why i saw it's not a coincidence? aside from the obvious initials PLUS birth year and car brand, this is not how an EU or French car plate looks like. If it was the correct format I would have thought it can be a coincidence.

2. Brand and model - so when i was looking at the MV for the 83rd time, I saw that the car looked familiar and looked at Karlie's post on the same year and it was indeed the same brand. BUt further looking into both cars made me realize they were the same model just different years (1 year apart)

3. looking at the secret message it seemed quite clear

4. And then we look at the lyrics and maybe she laughed with either Liz or Dianna behind the scenes but I could not find similar photos of them laughing like a little kid. This was also written before meeting Dianna.

I am also bound to believe that the other person was Liz because of her lyrics (H8U)

5. Was also bothered by the heels line because we know/saw she was wearing lots of heels around Karlie, who probably did not care because she was tall enough. True enough, the left shows Taylor with Liz/Dianna and she normally wears flats or 1-2 inc heels.

6. I think the person who would assume they had the most James Taylor collection would be the one named after Carly Simon (his ex-wife), but of course there's someone named after James himself.

7. this one is not based on evidence but just lyric parallels and gay guts, we see how Karlie is with her eg shielding her from paparazzi by moving chairs, etc

Taylor on Begin Again "I knew I wanted to bookend the album with ’State of Grace’ and ‘Begin Again’ because they’re inspired by the same person who inspired a few songs on the record" It's a song about going through a heartbreak (he) and meeting someone new (you).
