Unbraiding Series Pre-2013 Kaylor

Unbraiding series pre-2013 Kaylor

(Link to Patreon for comic/manga drafts - for now)

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 at least know the almost/maybe truth (since only Taylor knows).

Unbraiding Series Pre-2013 Kaylor

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.

Style

Enchanted

State of Grace

Begin Again

Holy Ground

Message in a Bottle

Everything Has Changed

When Emma Falls in Love

This Love

*Disclaimer - these analyses are based on what Taylor said during Bevan's interview that her and Karlie met in 2008

for excel sheet of timeline and my unecessary musings pls see below

My musings/realizations

Many of the songs in Red cannot be about Dianna since a lot of them were written before they met, it's possible they met earlier but we also have to take into consideration Lea/Dianna timeline since they seem like they were serious with Dianna moved in with Lea

I feel like Julianne Hough had a bigger role in Taylor's early life, some lyrics seem to describe her particularly I Bet You Think About Me

Liz going to Eras on 8/3 was sus - side: she reposted @taylorklosscomeout138's post (with all the gaylor and kaylor tags)

Unbraiding Series Pre-2013 Kaylor

It's good to look at Liz's discography too, she seems to be talking about Taylor and according to her lyrics that she fell for the other person esp Nothing Personal and H8u and the other person wasn't as serious as they expected

They told us about Karlie's beard period the whole time. 😪

January 2019:

Epiphany

As stated in the tweet, Taylor purchased this ticket sometime in December 2018.

September 2019:

Epiphany

Here again Taylor seems to have hinted once again at the end of Kaylor's exile.

October 2022:

Epiphany

Taking into account that the clock only has the largest hand (which marks the minutes), suggesting that it is not the hours that this specific clock is marking... and so you change the marking of this clock to an equivalent and larger perspective of counting time... another count that also uses 12 periods (like on the clock), are the months. 12 months = 1 year.

Therefore, this clock in Taylor's hands marks the years!

Epiphany

Now if you do this countdown, which starts at 3, and use the date this music video was released, October 25, 2022...

2022 + 3 years = October 2025... 👀

Koincidentally, that's almost exactly the numbers on Tay's lottery ticket and the 7th anniversary of Karlie's fake wedding.

That's it!! 🤯😮‍💨

Taylor seems to have hinted once again that the end of Kaylor's exile is October 2025.

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?

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 😆

In Another World,

in another world,

this song would probably be #1

and that’s the tragic irony of this entire album — how much is said, and how little is heard

Can we talk about how if Taylor had phrased it "lesbian pride makes me me!" they'd still be arguing "SHE JUST SUPPORTS LESBIANS!"

There is literally 0 logic to thinking it's not an identity statement, yet they find a way.

If you're not trans like myself then are you really going to say trans pride makes you who you are just because you're an ally???

Who you support does not correlate with personal identity. Something cannot make you who you are unless you are that something. This isn't a complicated concept

I think it's just one of the biggest proofs that it has never mattered what Taylor says or does, and that is why hairpin drop was dismissed when it has 0 other meaning and she doubled down to use it again 2 years after non-stop discourse about it.

It's simply 1 of 2 things:

1. They know Taylor is queer but will always force an act that they don't believe it simply because they don't want her to be or for that to be normalized.

2. They genuinely will not recognize anything explicity queer as queer because of that deep dislike towards the community even if it stems from internalization.

At this point there is simply not anyone that doesn't have homophobic views that cannot see at the very least that the Lover era was a coming out. I do not believe it.

The same song that she said "gay pride makes me me" about is a song about herself, her own love, characterized by queer pride, music video released on lesbian visibility day, and then you further pair that with all the promo posts for it being captioned the date of lesbian visibility with the pictures solely using the lesbian flag colors as the theme. Nobody is confused, it's just hate.
