Bonus:
I seriously want to ask some fans how they can say “Oh, it’s about one of Aaron’s sons, duh!” about Robin and not question why the hell she’s singing about everyone keeping secrets and all of the showmanship to keep him safe and loved… when he has multiple children?
Or how singing about dragonflies above their bed and roaring at dinosaurs is about her father?
I feel like I’m in an alternate universe. 😂
But I’ll just leave this here again because HELLO it’s right there
I mean, it was pretty clear how much more comfortable Taylor is speaking with Caitlin Clark than the likes of BM and the other WAGs.
Goes to show what kind of people she actually gets along with vs playing friends.
Sunflower emoji for this is actually crazy work when she is clearly holding a flower that is most similar to a Rose (it's a Lisianthus) any of these ⚘🌹🌷 would have sufficed to pair with it instead but no!
According to lore and Taylor's own words, Taylor is the Daisy, and Karlie is the Sunflower/Sun. So then the implication here is that the secret garden Taylor metaphorically escapes to is imagined as a.... garden full of Sunflowers? Described as the only place where she can be free and let down her true self.
Are we forgetting this gem from Lover??
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
you ever think about what kind of scene would be taking place during sweet nothing given that it’s a song about a midnight?
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).
Unbraiding: Holy Ground
Holy Ground was written in February 2012 (journal entry below), as you can see on the TL Taylor was still hanging out with Liz (Jan - March) while also hanging out with Dianna (not March bec of tour).
Liz was reportedly recording Jenny Turn Around with these lyrics which signals an imminent end
then -
Taylor's Vogue interview after the Rodarte SS11 show which Karlie walked in - Sept 13, 2011
Taylor's first cover story with US Vogue was out
In response, Karlie tweeted
Dianna also tweeted
In Feb, Taylor performs with Liz, hangs out with Dianna
and then writes Holy Ground which is a song reminiscing about a relationship that ended some time back and feels melancholic so it's weird to write this song for either Liz or Dianna.
Why would you write this line if the person you want to be with is there hanging out with you?
Although popular lore says that Holy Ground can be loosely translated to Dianna (Diana - Divine - Holy) Agron (Field/agriculture - Ground), the connection is too loose. Other easier options would be Divine/Holy Fields.
But thanks to friends (Liza @lzg27 and Michelle @omgplasticmenus) who shared the brilliant find that Holy Ground is a name of a popular restaurant in TriBeCa and it is also the old name for the area way back 1700s. Before Karlie bought her West Village Apt in mid-2012 she rented an apartment in the same area.
and the way Taylor used Holy Ground in her lyrics implied it being a physical safe space for the person she's missing
Many think that because of the line below that HG is about Dianna but it can't be because (1) She went there in April, months after the song was written and (2) Taylor did not sign it or anything. It does not look like her handwriting too, although I am not an expert but it looks very different.
Now, we don't know when Karlie and Taylor started but it's safe to say they were introduced in Apr 27, 2008 at Young Hollywood Awards and have been in the same space as you can see Taylor in the front row
It's hard to imagine Karlie saying they talked and had a baking date then Taylor's shout out saying "I love Karlie Kloss" and say they have never met. On print, on her first US Vogue cover, unprompted. Forever immortalized.
Then the last they saw each other allegedly is September and can be a reason for her reminiscing.
This is not evidence but again I feel like Taylor has always been conscious in using names of places even word to refer to her muse, and New York has always been hers and Karlie's.
So this next line below could mean both the city and their moment being very short or hurried or limited.
and then she is keeps on pointing that she has been talking about the same person not only in Red but also in Lover and in TTPD
all the dancing - maybe Taylor just loves to dance
The way we follow logic here is that we see a connection to Karlie that makes sense as intended use in the song
Holy Ground - Tribeca - safe space
Then building on it by adding timelines of potential muses and the context of the whole song itself -pining and melancholia, and missing someone
Tied together with lyrical parallels throughout her discography giving us tiny clues of what the whole story she's trying to share with us.
i wonder if there’ll be a valentine’s day merch drop this year, i do love a valentine’s day merch drop 🥰
Unbraiding: When Emma Falls in Love
Another song that stumps me is WEFIL, i don't have any idea who this is for but Taylor did say she wrote it for her best friend. However this line had me thinking
Taylor was born in West Reading, Pennsylvania, but she grew up in Wyomissing and those are not big towns/cities. and probably the most telling is Cleopatra who has been maligned by history by reducing her to "Julius' lover" or the "queen whore" when she was a woman of formidable intelligence, a cunning strategist, and called "the queen of kings" and it suits how Taylor has been reduced to a "boy crazy" girl and slut-shamed despite her achievements.
these parallel lines seem to say that Emma =good boys to good/bad guys to good = I
and of course this line from Gold Rush
I = call you out = She/Emma
let's not forget how she called herself New York City
False God - I'm New York City
WEFIL - She's so New York
I'm = New York = She/Emma
but could also be metaphorical when we think that NY is where “you can want who you want. Boys and boys and girls and girls” and felt more like not belonging.
we all know which show this was
And all these lyric parallels on how she/they boarded up their windows etc to protect their privacy and her saying that she fiercely protects her privacy now.
Although I am not sure who I is here and whose POV she's talking from but it seems like she's saying she is Emma and just describing herself and how intensely she falls in love.
11th letter of the alphabet : K
EZB
92
Guess whose name starts with a K, has Elizabeth as a second name and was born in 1992.
And whose nickname is Kar (car).
(K)arlie (E)li(Z)abeth (K)loss, born in 19(92).
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😆🥰
Yeahhhh no I’m gonna need to see these two side by side.
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.
Karlie's Twitter account being gone means we just lost the original source of this national treasure... the Pentagon was hit
Moment of silence for the Camp that she looked right in the eye. Never forget 😔
One of the loudest things Taylor has ever done.
ever randomly have a breakdown over how the king of my heart symbolism carries through and over into robin, where taylor makes a royal proclamation out of things that positions robin as an heir to the kingdom
taking the quiz when
Illuminating: Style and its obvious clues
Opinions have been varied on who Style is about, obviously many claim it's about Harry Styles because of their relationship, as well as Dianna because of her James Dean photoshoot.
Even though I knew of Karlie's James Dean photoshoot on Dec 2012, I was still on the fence since the lyrics is talking about the cycle of intense love, crashing down, and coming back to the same person. So if they just met, how can this be about her, right?
However, since Taylor's clues have pointed to the timeline being a public narrative, such as:
First introduced by Bevan with Emma Stone in April 27 2008
Karlie on magazine mentions meeting and talking at the Met 2011 and baking dates
Mentioned Karlie unprompted on her 1st US Vogue Cover (does she do that a lot on print?)
released songs from the rep album such as timeless (confirmed single) and ICSY (sonically/lyrically according to critics) under Speak Now vault (screenshot below)
Karlie wearing an Enchanted gem on her bracelet (come on, how many songs do you have and you picked Enchanted?)
I am inclined to believe they have met longer than the public knows.
Clue # 1 - Style was written and recorded by Feb 19, 2014 while Dianna's InStyle magazine was Feb 2014 and Karlie's was Dec 2012. Not definitive but it's a start.
Clue #2 - might be the most obvious one yet and it's in the lyrics
"You got that long hair, slicked back, white T-shirt"
Both had the slicked back hair, only Karlie has worn a white t-shirt.
Clue #3 - "And I got that red lip classic thing that you like"
from Vogue 73 questions - she rarely wears red but sure it's favorite
Clue #4 - Walking to Style during VSFS 2014 as the King and Queen of chess and Taylor recreating this moment every eras tour?
Clue #5
I mean, can't be a coincidence, right?
A few times in between Karlie was allegedly with Leigh or Toni while Taylor we know has had a few flings as well.
Lyric parallels
"So it goes" is such an iconic line for them and I believe that Taylor has purposely made it a title in one of the rep songs for a reason
There are 13 "so it goes" in the song including the title
"'round and 'round" - While the YAIL reference sounds a perfect callback to the 1st VSFS it could also refer to them circling each other, chasing each other like cat and mouse (Paper Rings), being on different sides of Atlantic (Come back, be Here)
and how many times have we heard Karlie with the phrase "never go(es) out of style"? - this year alone she said it twice while being interviewed.
let me know what you think

Tied together with lyrical parallels throughout her discography giving us tiny clues of what the whole story she's trying to share with us.
unbraiding: State of Grace
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.
⭐️ todays the day… VOTE! ⭐️
She’s got more chemistry with that lipstick than kissing Josh 😂
Karlie Kloss #ABOUT FUCKING TIME!
.
Ok this might be the autism talking but I need to dump this thought: this shit doesn’t make sense. Taylor Swift is many things, but stupid is not one of them. Like, Tennis is a gentleman’s sport and they behaved like frat kids at that game. Tree would quit if this was how she was genuinely acting!
Yes, it’s gross and inappropriate. And no, whatever end does not justify these disgusting means. BUT if someone who isn’t stupid was wilfully trying to set their public image on fire… that MIGHT be how they’d do it.
That’s all.
“It would be career su*cide if her fans found out that she lied about everything so why would she do that? She’s obviously straight and y’all are delusional freaks”
Oh you mean like: “what if I roll the stone away, they’re gonna crucify me anyway…”
You mean like “Combat, I’m ready for combat”
You mean like “I can show you lies”
You mean like “I’d rather burn my whole life down than listen to one more second of all this bitchin’ and moaning / I’ll tell you bout my good name, it’s mine alone to disgrace / I don’t cater to all these vipers dressed in empath’s clothing”
You think those are just songs about being in your 30s and not being allowed to date a man / a man not loving you back? That’s wild.
OMfG!😮 wow🔥☄️
So whats our explanation for Taylor hanging out with people like BM yet she cant be seen with Karlie because her connections will „taint taylors image"? | always believed in that reasoning but lately i dont see a single reason why she cant casually introduce Karlie back into her life
I truly don’t know other than that’s a theory we all made up and stuck with because it’s easier to accept that than the fact that she’s ok with Karlie being destroyed by her fanbase if it means “the plan” can continue
so surely i’m not going to be the first to say that taylor and florence were giving vsfs 2014 blank space vibes right?
