To also add a bit to the beginnings: As a fashion fan, many have to realize that Karlie was considered a “high fashion” model which is different from commercial/editorial work. She was extremely busy it just regular fashion weeks but she did couture fashion. She was always overseas double time because of couture fashion shows. Spent a huge amount of time in London/Paris then would take the train to Italy. I remember as part of high fashion group they’d do shoots in Tokyo and Japan. She also did I think 2 seasons of shows for Mercedes Fashion week where you were in various shows around Germany. Just like now she’d be in the Bridal shows. She did those for Oscar de LaRenta. Back then the models hardly had anytime even for holidays because of couture. She modeled year round and lets not forget Cannes that had regular/couture. So I think that not only age but she was in high demand from fashion houses and traveled extensively. Taylor would’ve had to be at a majority of events to even get a chance to see her and Karlie was known for walking the most shows in a season. Even as an angel she didn’t just do the fashion shows but she did events at stores, parties, etc for VS. That’s what an actual angel does. It’s more than VS shows you have to open their stores or do store/reg events for them outside the shows. So many misunderstand that about karlie….she was in another realm of modeling that not many ever get too. I think as karlie got older she was able to manage her schedule better. I think Taylor spending times/moving to NY helped. Karlie also became more selective on shows. Plus I remember stories about her constantly on phone right up to time to walk but she could do it because she was a queen.
Sorry got so long but she really did have an intense schedule.
Hi, buddy. 👋🏼
Don't apologize for it. I'm glad you brought this up. Thank you for that. 😊
YES!!! You're 111% right on this point. If you knew how many ignorant and extremely idiotic anons I get saying: "kk's not even that famous"... "Taylor was the one who made her career"... "kk is a social climber and made her name at the expense of ts"... "who is kk?". 😮💨🙄
LMAO. FFS!! 🤦🏻♀️
I just roll my eyes when I read this kind of crap in my inbox, because these kind of people are not even worth wasting my time with. They don't know the slightest thing about Kar's career in haute couture. If they knew how big Kar's name was when "kaylor met in 2013". How in demand Karlie was by the biggest names in the industry... Especially for a model as young as she was at the time. 🤦🏻♀️
Like you said, most models only dream of the kind of prestige that Kar had already achieved in the beginning of what the girls say "Kaylor happened in 2013". 🤩
You were surgical, with Karlie's extremely busy schedule for most of the year, especially during fashion week season, it must have been a crucial point when the girls first met before 2013 for that they didn't go beyond casual, if they ever got romantically involved at all. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I remember Kar's snapchats were basically airplanes, airports, snacks, backstage at shows and running around with a carry-on bag (I miss the most random and silly posts she made almost daily 😪). There's even a video for Vogue or maybe it's on her channel in 2014 (?) where she shows at least 2 or 3 passports completely filled and almost finished with the current one. Like... WTH?? 😮🫨 The girl was basically a nomad. 🤭 KK probably paid the condo fees so her plants had somewhere to live, because she herself was never home, poor thing. Lol
Before anyone comes with that quote that y’all love to dig up from the time capsule:
She’s always been an ally to the LGBTQ community. She just never made it a spectacle as a lot of her peers do. This is the same person who insinuated Joe Alwyn encouraged her to speak up about US politics.
Taylor Swift isn’t stupid—she’s aware of the implications of her actions. This awareness has helped her to be as successful as she is. Why do you think she made that speech about her concerts being a safe space when she got backlash for “dating” MH? Him allegedly being on Slut! and removed?
Y’all love to take that quote and twist it into a narrative about being naive.
Don’t forget how she also said gay pride makes her her.
How she had a gay pride parade in the Me! video.
How she said “spelling is fun” as a way to ask if she has to spell it out, but y’all didn’t get it, so she took it out of the song.
How at TIFF, she gave a veiled statement about closeting and people laughed thinking she was making a joke. Her reaction to the laughter.
Look at how many of y’all say the Lover era was her worst era fashion wise. It’s interesting, because she was wearing a lot of rainbow in that era.
Y’all love to forget that.
Y’all also love to bring up Hayley Kiyoko and Lil Nas X as examples of why Taylor can just “come out” and won’t see any backlash.
When Hayley and Nas began their careers, they began them as out queer artists and not in country music. Nas is an openly queer artist in the hip hop industry and by all really think he has it easy?
Taylor could’ve easily still been dominating country music. But she chose to leave that genre of music. She would’ve never been able to do an album like 1989, folklore or evermore in that genre because she wouldn’t have had the lyrical freedom. She had to fight Scott Borchetta for 1989 to even be what it is.
Exactly this.
Also, I would like to add a question to swifties who refuse to see her.
What do you think this moment during anti-hero on tour is about? Why do you think she has a gigantic version of herself literally screaming at people in the audience to LOOK AT HER while the version of her on stage is performing? What could possibly be the explanation for this?
karlie kloss out in nyc post the met gala
waiting for @9w1ft come on to see these insane bengal tiger earrings 🐅
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.
Transcription of a voice memo my friend sent me about JK and KK. Picture she is referring to, shown below.
“He is so gay. I will literally never get over that picture that you showed me where they both look so gay like I'm I'm sorry the body language the attire the the air like that that is not a straight woman and that is definitely not a straight man like case closed no further testimonies or evidence need be presented.”
The Kaylor conversion starts with one photo. Use it wisely.
I have always thought that 22 was not about Dianna, and I think Taylor gave us a big clue with the hidden message and that 143 was also not about her despite that Valentine's Day post. But vibes don't equal to proof, sadly.
Thanks to @taylorklosscomeout138's sleuthing/spiraling, they found that Big Sur MV was released on 3/6. I mean we all knew about Karlie's Big Sur post 189 days before 1989TV but I haven't seen anyone talk about Big Sur MV itself
*not saying 22 is about Kaylor but there are certainly some flagging
I mean come on, what are the odds of these scenes replicated?
but wait, isn’t 22 about Dianna? her name was there
you mean, this?
yes, because putting your SO's name with your other friends screams romantic
So, when Taylor was 22 in 2011/2012, who was 19? Your guess is as good as mine >.O
also.. 143, wasn't that used by Dianna? Again, many of us just focus on what the muses do and not think "Does Taylor even care?" So for me, it doesn't matter that Dianna used 143 what matters is what Taylor acknowledges.
One thing that made me wonder was why release 22 MV on March 13 instead of 3/6 to keep up with the theme?
so this for me ties the parallels to Aug 3 and maybe this random date
and what's the significance of 3/6? Love locked down and the locket of course - both have posted on this date
Begin Again/love lock bridge significance
Let's not forget this ur my Lover bff merch using the locket. Was she ever bffs with Calvin? uhm
so yeah, i think it's safe to say that Taylor used 143 to flag someone whose birthday was on August 3 and who was 19 when she was 22
Taylor wrote 22 on June 1, 2012, which brings us back to “This Love”
And of course Karlie can't help herself (the pose seem familiar? maybe seen it on Lover lyric MV?)
coffee and breakfast at midnight?
and the desire to have someone
I started with Begin Again because it's one song/music video that is clearly pointing us towards the muse
and then Taylor guided us towards the next song State of Grace where she said
with her saying that she has some songs for that person in between but not in chronological order.
I admit, State of Grace is a song that is not very obvious and clear with regards to clues and I just went with what Taylor said.
It's also a song that has confused many gaylors and I appreciate their honesty in saying (credit to all-my-possessions)
and that she wrote it for a love that felt epic
In this song, there is only one line that quite points us to the person she talks about.
and i also saw many articles talking about Karlie's eyes being blue also sometimes green. but one thing is that she purposely used blue so it does not get confused with hazel which can sometimes look green depending on the light. but it's hard to confuse hazel with blue.
Oop I got distracted there looking at various Karlie eyes
the next lyrics are not just gonna be based on more gay vibes and nothing concrete. just imo parallels with other Kaylor songs, and yes I think Style is for Karlie (more on that later)
The recurring theme of love being a game (CLM), rolling the dice, playing, etc talks about how they are conning people making them believe in public facing narratives, etc
The next line also screams NYC to me, with it's busy people full of busy agendas. And of course, it could also mean LA but these lines evoke the feeling of being in New York
The golden part of the lyrics just make me think of daylight lyrics and how it comes back to this Red album saying love is not Red but Golden. And several other references to gold.
Lastly, I don't consider this proof because it was posted after the song but it's suspicious because Swarovski posted and deleted afterwards. and of course, the double swans (Karlie in London photo with double swans).
Again, this song has been tricky because it's a lot of assumptions and biases on my side with the clues being that Taylor herself said Begin Again and SoG have the same muse and the lines about twin fire signs.
Anyway shout out to one of the greatest dates of all time when taylor and karlie were nervous but excited to hold hands with each other😆🥰
