If Folkore And Evermore Didn't Exist, I Wouldn't Be Here As A Taylor Swift Stan And A Gaylor Today

Maybe one day we can write a whole post to talk about this once and for all. For the anons who think MTR is too sad to be about Scott B. Let me explain what he did.

1. He was absolutely pretty instrumental to Taylor’s success in the beginning. He was behind her during her war against streaming services (“when I’d fight, you used to tell me I was brave”), for instance, and he was like family.

2. As Taylor rose to fame she wanted more freedom - artistic freedom. That’s how and when their relationship started going downhill - Taylor having too many disagreements with the label, about what music to put out what album covers to use etc. She also wanted to own her art. Scott B of course always thought TS owed him part of her success and his egomaniac self can’t swallow her rebel against him. He held the masters card over her head for YEARS - this is the power and control he had over her - she could buy them back only if she signed her future away to him. She left. Just check out Scott’s interview shortly after she left - it tells you all you need to know about how hurt his ego felt. “cursing my name, wishing I’d stayed”.

3. His resentment turned to revenge. 🛴 tried for years to ruin Taylor’s career and he had control over KK. Just think about how Ari tried to get rid of him but couldn’t. This is really bad stuff. The sunset clause and whatnot. Now, what does Scott selling her masters to 🛴 really mean? It means everything important to Taylor - her art and her love are all under 🛴’s control. And, he also gets to benefit from it. When TS comes out, her art will be worth more, and 🛴 will be the one benefiting from that too. This whole sale is about control and power and a revenge. It’s not just about money. It’s about screwing over TS and KK.

4. Taylor didn’t write “the best people in life are free” in her early 20s for her fans to doubt just how much she wanted to be free and how much she was oppressed. She wanted to live her truth. The masters sale was 2 assholes flexing their power and telling her “you’ll never be free”. “Rebel and you will be punished”. (See what happened in Nov 2019).

The above is just what we know, there probably is a lot more bad stuff we’ll never know. ittg tells the same story as MTR (kids are her albums, dinner gets cold is when the relationship goes downhill, begging is her literally begging for years to own her art). You get the picture. LWYMMD mv contains a million easter eggs, and we are really beginning to see it’s much more about the bad blood between TS and her label than Kimye. “You” is mostly her label and the boss, Scott.

Now tell me, is MTR too sad to be about Scott B?

Anon you said it perfectly!!

Besides Track 12, the funniest part is Kevin McHale (Dianna’s ex costar and friend) liking this tweet

Interesting message from Beyonce about Taylor's family 👀

I thought so too ☺️👶🏼👯‍♀️

’Cause you were never mine

This is a me appreciation post. Shout out to me for fighting through the fog and emptiness to do what I love. Shout out to me even when I can’t do anything at all. Shout out to me for continuing to be kind to others even when it’s exhausting. Shout to me for refusing to fall to my dark thoughts.

If you reblog this, it’s about you now <3

YEE HAW 🤠

SR, can I ask you something? Do you ever feel like you would be glad if you knew for sure Taylor was no longer with Karlie? Like if for example Spade resurfaced and informed you that Taylor couldn't stand Karlie's mess and had decided to break it off. Are there times when you feel like it would be better for all, Taylor and us, if Karlie was out of the picture? Cause I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I do. I can't believe I've reached this point after supporting their romance for years, but I do.

I do not even follow Karlie anymore, because what she represents is too toxic for me. So, yes, selfishly, it would be easier for me to enjoy Taylor's journey if it did not involve Karlie. But, I don't wish it upon them to split. Their relationship is just that. Theirs.

It is interesting timing that you sent this ask, though. I recently discovered the Sam Kerr/Kristie Mewis relationship. Two of the best womens soccer players in the world, who are very open, and very much in love. I highly recommend you follow them. They are so adorable. This blog @newbiesquadgoals is a good one to get you started.

What struck me this week though, is that Sam and Kristie reminded me of why I fell down the Kaylor rabbit hole back in late 2014. It is just so beautiful to observe two people so happy, so free, and so in love. That is what Kaylor showed publicly back in 2014.

As for ♠️, I said to a mutual the other day, that if Kaylor is going to stay private, I wish ♠️ would stop back and somehow let us know this (via a riddle or some other way). My hunch is that we will see Kaylor together in 2022, again, and that they will both be free. But, I don't expect them to do a 180 on Taylor's stance of being fiercely protective of her family. So I do not have any expectations of them showing they are a couple. Just that we will see them spend time together publicly.

You said: "I can't believe I've reached this point after supporting their romance for years, but I do."

I hear you, anon. As much time as I have put into supporting them, I cannot believe I do not even follow Karlie anymore.
