Buckle up, fam, because I have a theory, comprising a lot of different threads I’ve been piecing together for a while now
Yesterday, TaylorNation posted a bunch of lyrics from different albums on Instagram and Twitter.
I knew that something was up the second I saw this lyric from Speak Now, for two reasons.
1. This lyric is incorrect. It should be “I hope you remember.” This is a pretty big error to make .
2. This is the only lyric that uses multiple fonts. And I thought that font looked familiar…
Because it did. It’s the exact font as “swooping sloping cursive letters” from the Paris lyric video.
I think this is just one part of a lot of Easter eggs and threads pointing to TS 12 as a coming out album.
I’ve been a comingoutlor since the Lover era, and I’ve believed that TS12 will be a coming out album since 2022, when Taylor first told us to meet her at midnight.
Let’s unpack, shall we?
1. Taylor has been hinting at TS12 for a while now, since at least the Karma music video. At the end of the video, we see the clock tick to midnight IN BETWEEN 1989 and Reputation.
2. I remain a karma truther, and I think the Man wall is still relevant here - Karma is on the wall twice, once in black (Karma the song) and once in orange (for the lost album). I don’t think it’s a coincidence that orange Karma is at the 12 o’clock position on the wall.
This also fits with the 🎃 anon note about how she has written “a story in 11 parts.” 🎃 sent that in May of 2023, and a year later Taylor closed out TS11 with the words “the story isn’t mine anymore.”
TS12 will be the start of a new story. A Brand New story.
I do think TS12 will be an orange/lesbian flag album. It might be called Karma, or it could just represent Karma to Taylor - all the years of cages and hiding and hurting, all leading to this moment. It’s been a long time coming, and it’s coming back around.
3. On October 18, 2024, Taylor posted a video on her Instagram of herself in a stadium. She walks 11 steps, stops in front of section A12, pauses, removes her sunglasses (I’ll come back to this) and then takes steps 12 and 13.
I think this video was signaling that there would be a pause after TS11 (which we are currently in) and then TS12 would follow.
Note that she is also holding Olivia, because Karma is a cat!
Now, everyone has been clowning for the AMAs for a while now, and I have been too! Taylor’s website literally spells out AMAs, and there are 12 items on sale for 26% off. (The AMAs are on the 26th this year). TaylorNation also seems to be pointing in that direction.
The AMAs just so happen to fall on the 2 year anniversary of the Karma music video.
This is especially suspicious given Ice Spice’s random video last year where she was not only reading a magazine from 2015 with Karlie Kloss on the cover, but she was also wearing bright orange slippers and had pink and orange vases behind her.
Here is where it gets a little crazy, stay with me.
Karlie has predicted every single album release over the last few years.

To this day, 9 years later, Taylor still honors this moment with her girl. 😍
I bet the antis panic when Karlie dresses boyfriend and they see how androgynous she can truly be.
And she owns it so good. It’s so hot. Ahhh.
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 😆
Popular lore among gaylores regarding muse discourse on Back to December is that it's about Liz and Dear John is about Emily. I, however, have some reservations due to inconsistencies. Many fans are quick to lump songs and muses according to the public narrative and whether it's about love or heartbreak. For me, some heartbreak songs seem to be talking about different people or convey different messages. Breathe and Dear John are two very different songs, while Dear John tells us a story of a manipulative person playing with the speaker's heart, in Breathe the speaker sounds regretful and apologetic. Even the hidden message says the same:
That is why I think whoever she's talking about in Dear John, IBYTAM, and WANEGBT are the same person.
So, what made me think that Back to December and Enchanted are connected?
it brings me back to the VMAs
where she supposedly met Adam Young (Owl City) and wrote the song and said she wants to be there front row
another gaylor parallel we know is her attending her first fashion event sitting beside Penn Badgely front row
During that trip Taylor was mostly alone, it was in the middle of the tour, she came early and stayed for a while watching Karlie's Tommy Hilfiger NYFW so her other bandmates like Liz was not with her that time.
Now it could just be Taylor exercising her artistic flexibility but I believe that Taylor is a songwriter first before singer/performer that's why we have the song, Dear Reader. She wants us to read what she's trying to say, so I don't treat all her lines as a metaphor or red herring because I believe she's very aware of what she's saying in her songs.
But this is also just me trying to weave a story through her songs that makes sense in my mind.
So, what happened?
Again, Taylor told us that she and Karlie met way earlier than what the public narrative was, and that could be the reason for the instant sizzling chemistry we saw in 2013 and why Taylor moved to the opposite coast 2 months after meeting Karlie.
Her songs during this time can be described as hopefuly, like a fairytale but also with smidges of heartbreak, etc. and if we think that Style is a Kaylor song then we can say that they had a lot of ups and downs especially the early years, and i think this is one of them.
Both of them are busy travelling all over the world, with Taylor and her world tour and Karlie's first year as most photographed model and they might have made the effort to spend time and travel to see each other but of course distance and lack of time can be an issue.
Anyway, in September Taylor went to the VMAs and spent her break in NYC - wrote Enchanted, then went back touring. in December she was photographed partying with Julianne Hough
And JH is not that much older than Taylor but she was 19 at that time and the song Dear John talks about her being too young for manipulative, hot/cold, pull and push. But maybe that kind of behavior also brought excitement however it wasn't long-lasting.
Since I believe that DJ and IBYTAM talks about the same person and it talks about someone who grew up rich which none of the others potential muses are (Emily, Liz, Dianna, Karllie) except for possible JH whose father is a Congressman and was born in a very tiny town called Orem, Utah. At 10, her and her brother were sent to London to study. Her favorite band is Imagine Dragons, an indie band.
She wrote Dear John in February 2010, I assume this was when she realized how toxic the relationship was. She then wrote Back to December in March 2010 after having lunch with Taylor Lautner in NYC (a coincidence). She also shot the music video in New York
this line here makes me think this is not about Liz since they are working together and are even considered roommates. So it's someone who she has not seen for a while.
Again this tracks one of the busiest period of Karlie's life jetting off from one place to another because she was everybody'a muae.
this bike also reminds me of Begin Again and I think Taylor put that there for a reason.
So these were my rambling thoughts on how these songs are connected, again, no proof but all feelings. :D
The daisies are the only thing in color on the frame from Karlie's Mother's Day recap because it is an exact mirroring of the Taylor sighting.... let's take a look
The daisies in Karlie's are directly next to Garden roses and a peony, white ones to be exact. Which are the same 2 flowers in the pot right next to Taylor in her daisy dress-
They're the same picture.
remember when taylor played a mashup of robin and never grow up on july 10th last year that was so out of pocket 😭
Karlie Kloss #ABOUT FUCKING TIME!
.
It’s happening again. The last time we were here was April 2019 when ME! Was released on Lesbian Visibility Day. Back in 2019, she had Dear Lover billboards up and now she has the billboards up saying “it’s happening again” in the same place, because she wasn’t clear before, but now she’s on her way to making it loud and clear for those who ignored her time and time again. 🥲
