um wtf?????

so the page turning thing taylor is doing made me think:

'Cause there were pages turned with the bridges burned/Everything you lose is a step you take'

like. burning bridges. burning the lover house. burning her past.

'Spring breaks loose, but so does fear/He's gonna burn this house to the ground'.

what if 'he' is the heteronormative view she has had to pander to? and by coming out, by turning the page to reveal her truth, her queerness, she is allowing her past to be burned and destroyed in the name of love? BUT. ivy ends with

'My house of stone, your ivy grows/And now I'm covered/In you'

her house is STONE. you Cant burn STONE. her Real self is safe, and covered in the growth of love and new beginnings. she was afraid of coming out bc she was afraid of losing Everything, but realized somewhere along the way thats ok. she has what matters. besides:

'So make the friendship bracelets/Take the moment and taste it/You've got no reason to be afraid'

after all!! i'm not saying comingoutlor but...

the bolter & gorgeous.... 'all her fuckin lives flashed before her eyes / i feel like i might sink & drown & die'

like the tune of these just runs together! & the connections between almost drowning at 6 in the bolter etc etc

these songs sound similar and i feel like 'rivulets descend my plastic smile' flows well into 'all that bloodshed crimson clover' ....the implications...

Is she…finally outside the glass now????

WHOS AFRAID OF LITTLE OLD ME

“Meet me at midnight” - so when the clock strikes twelve to start off the Eras Tour -

We’re met with this wonderful rainbow imagery

Along with all the other rainbow imagery we see during the tour

I believe the video I watched was a clip from the Eras Tour movie, and you would not believe the amount of instances in which this rainbow lighting effect occurs. Particularly during Lover and Reputation sets…

The colours of the stage are giving
