connecting the dots...
I just realized in The Great War that the “her” referenced in the lines below is The Anti-Hero:
I always wondered who the “her” was because Taylor flips pronouns a lot, but it was one throwaway line. At first I wondered if someone was whispering in her ear to sway her and then I realized… yes someone was, but it’s actually Taylor, herself (the Anti-Hero Taylor).
Taylor thought she was the hero of The Great War but she was actually the Anti-Hero. Her ego took over and convinced her of betrayal and she almost lost her lover because of it.
fuck. so. i hate myself. bc this gives SUCH a different meaning to 'did you sleep with a gun underneath our bed'. um.
so The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived is for SURE about so many things, like scooter braun, scot swift, the music industry at large, her fans, etc. but. what about taylor talking to herself? she is The Man after all. so what about True Queer Taylor talking to Public Persona Taylor? i need to sleep but!!
The people saying that TTPD is so boring because it "sounds just like midnights" are absolutely wild to me because how dare an artist make more than one album that's the sane style.
Oh, wait....
This is admissible as evidence, as the chairman published the lyrics herself and I'm free to interpret and dissect as I wish. This song would make 99% more sense if the pronoun was "her"
"Did you take all my old clothes? Just to leave me here naked and alone"
there's no manly-man-boy who would be nicking her clothes, that does happen in a wlw relationship tho.
"They'll say I'm nuts if I talk about the existence of you"
no reason to call her crazy about a guy, but you sure can get called crazy for talking about fancying a woman
"Like I lost my twin"
...
"I'll build you a fort on some planet Where they can all understand it"
why would people not understand a relationship with a bloke? there would be a lot of people who didn't "understand" if it was a woman
"How dare you think it's romantic Leaving me safe and stranded"
ending a relationship on the grounds that "it's not safe for you for us to date right now" is the least heterosexual thing I've ever heard.
Oh my god!!???
okok. so ive been compiling this since the first video came out promoting ttpd. i noticed the lights on the ceiling, and knowing taylor loves numerology, decided to look into it. walk with me.
so, first: there are 3 ceiling lights off, and 19 total. 3 19. march 19 was the opening day of the eras tour.
there are 7 lights on, 3 off, then 9 on. 7 9. july 9. which is mentioned in last kiss. which mentions the time 1:58, nearly 2am. taylor used 2 imagery a lot to promote this album, then released the second half of the album at 2 am.
the lights at the far end of the hall ceiling have 5 on the left, 4 right. 5/4. tolerate it & closure have 5/4 beat which is often broken into sub groups of 3+2 or 2+3. these beats are said to be 'unique' and stand out. this numerology also calls back to the exile ends countdown of 3, 2 from the bejeweled video.
left row of lights has 10, right row has 9. 10/9. release date of 'the 1' single
7 lights on, 3 off, 9 on. 739. i searched 739 taylor swift & i got a few things:
1. a link to a website called taylorpictures & it directs to pics from the VS 2014 fashion show
2. a cosmopolitan article that mentions the '739 celebrity cameos' (which includes a certain blonde model)
3. life size cardboard cutouts of taylor wearing specific outfits:
the dress on the left was the one she wore to a billboards award ceremony during lover era and sang 'ME!'
the one on the right was also from lover era and looks like the dress from the fortnight mv
739 is also a manifestation number:
the right row of lights has 8 on and 1 off. 8 1. august 1.
going back to earlier, the 1:58 reference. 15 8. check this out:
i'm not sure what all this means for sure, but i know 'none of it was accidental'. i'm gonna keep my eyes out for what happens august 15.

the dots do NOT stop connecting.......she began cracking the locks of exile with the fearless rerecord...so she can be the man...some lady's left hand man, even....shes leaving out the side door, stepping right out into the daylight, and letting it all go, because it's time to go!!
right where you left me goes so fucking hard. y'all heard this shit??? the way she sings breathlessly in one run on sentence until she hits the chorus like skidding to a halt at the edge of a cliff like??? have you HEARD this shit?????? bitch!!!!
