the curve is real
Soooo august might be Tayliv's song? damn i can't remember the last time i was into reading any documentary has more than 10 lines.
So what’s Taylor up to while Dianna is outing herself, traveling the world, and holding hands with Lea Michele?
She’s out on the Speak Now tour with one Liz Huett. It’s hard to know the exact nature of their relationship but there are a few pieces of info from Taylor’s tour blog and vlogs that are very telling.
They meet well before the Speak Now tour and Liz makes quite an impression on Taylor:
Liz joins the band for the Fearless Tour and they have a lot of fun, room together, and seem to be quite close:
The most suspicious post of all - Liz and Taylor are sharing a hotel room on tour:
So I checked in with Shawn (one of my contacts in the industry, she dated a famous singer and learned QUITE a bit about how musicians function and the PR surrounding them, ect.) and here’s what she had to say about a singer of Taylor’s caliber at that time sharing a hotel room with a backup singer:
This alone is frankly enough to convince me that they were something beyond friends/co-workers.
2-22-2010 entry has several more photos of Liz:
5/19/2011 - Tay and Liz are on the Speak Now tour at this point and Taylor cooks for her
So now we can flash forward to the summer of the Speak Now Tour - Taylor takes all the girls from the tour on a vacation:
8-22-2011 (RIGHT before she meets with Dianna in public for the first time)
Turns out they may have been sharing a bed? or at least joking about it:
Liz posted a birthday message (now deleted) to taylor about that very trip in 2015 and insinuates that Taylor planned the whole trip just for her!
Here’s some more general Tiz content:
Did they have something? Perhaps on and off during the Fearless Tour and then again during the Speak Now Tour?
It’s hard to say. There are other rumors surrounding Taylor and Claire (one of her backup dancers) and Taylor and Caitlin (her fiddle player that replaced Emily) along with Taylor and Julianne Hough. But the person with the most amount of content seems to be Liz.
I do suspect she may be referencing Taylor in her music and she even gives a befuddled blonde girl a kiss at the end of her H8U music video:
Some of Liz’s lyrics seem to almost blatantly reference Taylor:
“Never Know” - released November 2012 - might be about Taylor>> “It’s crazy how life goes on / And then I catch myself singing your song / And wonder if you think about me / I guess we’ll never know”
“Don’t LV U Anymore” - released some time in 2018 - “I don’t steal your chapstick anymore / Don’t wake up to your kiss anymore / And I don’t have a washer and dryer full of guitar picks anymore / ‘Cause you don’t come over to my place anymore / … / I don’t love you anymore / I don’t love you anymore / I don’t love you anymore / But I don’t love you any less” (seems to describe their relationship post 2012 or so however Liz was at the Rep tour, perhaps seeing Taylor triggered old memories for her to write a song about her)
Other songs that might be about Taylor include:
So Easy
Dammit - Jana Kramer (written by Liz) Talks about a lover playing guitar in the kitchen.
STFU and Hold Me – about a “rocky and volatile” relationship. Liz paints herself as a cheater in the MV and wears Red throughout the whole thing. The lyric “it started with a bang, went all in” is similar to Holy Ground’s “took off faster than a green light go.” Seems very similar to the relationships described in Red.
And here’s some discussion on Reddit about why Liz left Taylor’s band:
Sounds like a girl that was Trouble don’t you think?

Anyway…the point of all of this before we get back to the timeline is to show that Taylor very well may have been involved with LIz and the nature of that relationship does seem to match some of the drama described in the breakup songs on Red.
Back to the timeline now:
June 10, 2011: Taylor is emo on the Speak Now Tour:
“In Detroit, Swift seemed somewhat melancholy. Once in a while, I had the feeling that she was on the verge of bursting into tears. She said that she had recently decided that life is “about achieving contentment… . You’re not always going to be ridiculously happy.” She had written about ten songs so far for her next album[i counted 8]. Asked to characterize them, she said, “They’re sad? If I’m being honest.” The most recent one, she said, “is about moving on.”(x)
So here we learn that Taylor has written 8-10 sad songs for the Red album. As far as we know she’s never even met Dianna and Dianna is still very obviously involved with Lea.
June 11, 2011 - Shirtgate!
Lover Diary Entry during the Speak Now Tour where Taylor is super happy for some reason On June 17, 2011:
I propose that whatever Taylor is so happy about is not related to Dianna because on the 16th Dianna reaches out to Lea during Somebody To Love and then on the 17th they are back holding hands happily.
Conclusion - While Achele appears to be very on during the summer of 2011 it also seems completely possible that Tayliz was on during the Speak Now Tour as well. If Tayliz went on for a while during the Fearless Tour and then halted and then started back up again during the Speak Now Tour could it be the inspiration for some of the chaotic breakup songs on Red? I think it’s very possible.

Taylor Swift on Karlie Kloss
Karlie Kloss: Making bras look silly since 1992.
*cough* *cough*
“She does a killer red lip. I’ll give that girl credit. She can whip a red lip on like nobody else, and it’s amazing. Even if we’re working out, she’ll have on this gorgeous red lip. She’s not human! You know, I think I would end up having red lip from ear to ear. I’m not as graceful with a red lip as she is.” —Karlie Kloss on Taylor Swift’s 💋
reposting this to get it there in the feed for people who wouldnt otherwise run across it because, well, i’ve decided we havent cried enough today and that’s that.
1. Hello. 2. I miss you. 3. Can we talk? 4. I hope I’m not annoying you. 5. I want to see you. 6. Please tell me you’re doing fine. 7. I’m worried about you. 8. Let’s listen to our favorite song. 9. Do not let other people bring you down. 10. I hope you’re truly happy. 11. I love you. I really do. We started from 1 and I felt 11. Sometimes we do 8 with comforting silence. You used to remind me about 9. And I will always be grateful about everything we’ve had. Wherever you are, and whoever you’re with, please always remember 2, and 10.
