Connecting The Dots...

oh! & of course:

(i honestly feel like every time taylor calls love 'wild' she is calling back to this, & dickinson in general)

can we talk about 'the albatross' reference to 'candle in the wind'??

"Wise men once said / 'Wild winds are death to the candle'"

like??

um. so i wound up working on a full annotation & analysis essay of this song & all the references it makes to other songs/literature (that i could find at least) & how it ties into the theme of this album being a critique of the music industry and her fans idolization of her & so so much more &&&& it is nearly 4am and i need to sleep butttt should i post it when i finish. yay or nay.

The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived full performance at Eras Tour in Paris (night 1) (May 9, 2024) (x)

she said so long in london and will fuck it all up in florida. the eras tour picks back up in florida on october 18. if this is the end of the 'glitch'/'love blackout', 2190 days prior was october 20 2018. and on october 21 2018 taylor posted a picture on instagram of her playing scrabble with the caption 'baby let the games BEGIN.'

taylor nation posted a specific clip of taylor singing wildest dreams starting with 'you'll see me in hindsight' & ending with 'i'm burning it down'....girl. i really think shes gonna light the match on taylor TM soon. the glitch will end....

manifesting a pride month performance of bejeweled where she says '& by the way...i'm coming out tonight!'

okok. theory. taylor is an astrology girlie. what if she is using this "portal" to reinvent herself in the public eye and be more openly true & authentically queer? 'do you want to know where i was april 29' etc etc

we heard u loud and clear babe ♥️ @taylorswift

The future was within reach; she would, and will, soon take back the rest of her words, her reputation, her name. Maybe the world would see her, maybe it wouldn’t.

~I've read the NYT article at least five times now and it's still giving~

&& with one of the songs on TTPD being 'but daddy i love him'...connecting the dots...

1. It was New Year’s Eve. So Midnight is still a big theme.

2. Dressed as their “childhood heroes”… she’s coming back to herself… getting her legs back to be with her love… I can’t 🥹

What I’ve learned in the past year on my journey into the swiftie universe is that gaylors are so much nicer and intelligent than swifties/hetlors. I have not seen swifties/hetlors do lyrical analysis the way gaylors do. I don’t see them connecting historical figures and nods in her work the way gaylors do. Like gaylors will point out all of the lgbt history that Taylor has used/put into her work and say how much of a genius she is and swifties will attack the gaylors and say “well she didn’t know that’s what it meant” or “oh no that’s not the real meaning” when there is literally no other meaning than the lgbt one. The way I see it is, I’ve seen gaylors appreciate her art and work and her lyrics (because Taylor wants us to read the lyrics) and the swifties just don’t as much. Also the way that swifties/hetlors are about the “male muses” compared to how gaylors are about “female/male muses) is also vastly different. Ive noticed that the swifties see her as some character and not an actual human. I don’t feel comfortable or welcome in swifties spaces whereas gaylor spaces have made me feel at least semi welcome (only semi because I don’t ever feel 100% welcome in any space I try to be in) Overall I’m here for Taylor Swift and her music because it has brought so much joy to me personally in the last year. This has been one of the craziest and best rides I’ve been on.
