Hey For The Life Of Me I Can’t Find The Pants But I’m Pretty Darn Sure That’s An Adidas Track Suit

Things I want erased from my memory:

You're the West Village

Me! Out now (on Lesbian Visibility Day)

I came straight from Rome

Female ballet dancer trying to get to Taylor in Lover performance

I want to thank my boyfriend Adam

Snuck in through the garden gate

They're all wearing these robes btw, it's like an actual fantasy

Emily, I feel like our relationship got to the next level

Our secret moments in a crowded room, they got no idea about me and you

Taylor tagged as a daisy // now I'm your daisy

I like women, particularly gay women

Your eyes are really blue... damn it, did I blink?

The number thirteen

I don't want you like a best friend

Got drunk and made fun of the way you talk

The Male Perspective™

My E-e-e-e, she's my friend now

You say you wanted me, but you're sleeping with him

Wear you like a necklace

Something happens when everybody finds out

She's a queen, selling dreams, selling makeup and magazines

Allegedly

I left a note on the door with a joke we made

She's a crook who got caught

Women secretly touching hands in "The Man" MV

"Honey" in Taylor's playlist

Orange Girl™

The shape of your name still spells out pain

I loved you in secret

"Breathe" = platonic friendship song

Everybody's watching her but she's looking at you

And that's the thing about illicit affairs

Thirteenth person to walk out in VSFS // thirteenth person in "Bad Blood" MV

My man and I've been through a lot together

The Eye Theory™

Glass shattered on the white cloth, everybody moved on

She's got shiny abs

You wear the same jewels that I gave you as you bury me

Middle name Joseph

Exile as single on August third

Gave me the blues and then purple-pink skies

Love locked down

When you talk to me like I'm your friend Diana, I'm not Diana

On the way home

Betty, will you kiss me?

And you can want who you want, boys and boys and girls and girls

Relax - I'll try

That she never loved me

I like a cup of Joe in the morning

My girl

I grew a beard to be taken seriously as a producer at the Grammy's

That's the price I paid for seven years in heaven

Have a great summer knowing how disgustingly beautiful you are

Gay pride is what makes me me

I'd fall from grace just to touch your face

It shouldn't be a big deal who you love

Karlie filming Taylor performing "Dress"

I wanna kiss a girl

That's fine, I'll tell mine that you're gaaaay

I've tried ×2

Watching Karlie watch Taylor during this moment of Taylor watching Karlie was everything

Shade never made anybody less gay

That was my first girl kiss

I am obsessed with you. If you look out your window and down the street about 200 yards, you may see a big white van parked on the street. I am inside the van with a telescope and computer. Just trying to catch a glimpse of Kelsey.

Dancing in your Levi's

When I walked up to the podium I think that I forgot to say your name

We're both normal girls™

As a birthday present from the media

I get mystified by how this city screams your name

I want her midnights

Like I'm not your favorite town, I'm New York City

Your kitchen or mine?

The girl in my story has always been you

August slipped away

You're so gorgeous, it's hard to talk to you

IMPo0RtaNt™

The skeletons in both our closets plotted hard to fuck this up

Let's show our pride

Staying friends would iron it out so nice

If that's you, pad yourself on the back, I love you so much

I don't like a gold rush

I can't dare to dream about you anymore

Now you try on calling me baby like trying on clothes

Sorry for not making you my center fold

It's new, the shape of your body

Now she's hiding in a closet. Now she's locked in that closet.

a bit of resonance with the universe...

i’m just gonna leave this here...

What are the top three things that happened in the last year or so that make you so confident they are still together? No “sources”. No small coincidences. Real things that make sense. No eye theory allowed! Go!

ok anon, i’ll bite!

-taylor’s sudden and sustained use of baby, child, and father imagery and language from lover era through folklore and evermore and now. karlie has done some of it too.

i could list it all up but this post would get very long and it’s, you know, a touchy subject. but i think it’s been pretty noticeable if you’ve been open to it. plus idk, taylor creates a whole album about a secret love and talks about wanting to be her lover’s end game but somehow it’s not supposed to include starting a family? and if it does it needs to be done publicly?

-taylor’s continued use of the crest symbol (something kaylors identified far earlier than swifties)

beyond the Lover music video, we see it in the evermore album photos, and she’s now used it on The Vault. it’s the snake looking like an S and the butterfly looking like a K, for me. plus.. crests are made for *families*

-social interactions with mutual acquaintances.

for example, cara delevigne going to see taylors SNL performance and also publicly sending karlie bottles of wine. misty copeland dancing for taylor’s AMA performance and then also posting a pic wearing a LIKE A KLOSS tshirt to instagram. lily aldridge wishing karlie a happy birthday using a pic where taylor’s right there in the frame. the haim sisters hanging out both with taylor and with karlie on multiple occasions. etc. and then brandon maxwell adding taylor swift songs to his runway shows, and christian siriano often featuring pics on instagram of taylor in dresses he’s designed. all this while karlie hosted project runway with them as judge and mentor. if you believe taylor and karlie were ever together, these kinds of sustained moments should give you pause because they just wouldn’t happen if there was a breakup.

***

honorable mentions:

-taylor making the noticeable public pivot towards “fictitious songwriting” with folklore and evermore.

this isn’t so much a proof as something that i think really sets her up well for the future. for me, trying to wean the public off of searching for connections between lyrics and her real life is a way of protecting what she has. plus it has allowed her to write about a greater variety of things.

-the red rose dresses

i’m sorry say what you will about twinning being abstract (yes sometimes it is) but, this kind of thing is just obvious. what’s more, we can deduce that taylor started working on that video before karlie started designing her dress, and karlie then designed hers, debuted it, and taylor then went and did the video without change. to a similar extent you could argue a similar pattern with the yellow dresses in 2019 (elle cover/off-white runway) and the orange thing (yntcd/carolina herrera vogue cover/adidas/match.com) that went into 2020. there’s a pattern of one of them debuting a look, the other puts out a similar look, then it gets revealed the other was working on it earlier, etc… plenty of opportunities to course correct these bold primary color twinning moments if they didn’t want anything to do with one another.

-taylor continuing to wear the vsfs ring (which is undeniably a kaylor bat signal)

on significant days such as kissgate anniversary in 2019, while accepting an award in 2021, and at her birthday party just this month. honestly i could write a dissertation on other jewelry things (karlie wearing the cartier necklace through the pandemic onset and her pregnancy, the alison lou of it all… or the awe le duo necklace lolol, but the angel wing ring takes the cake)

moreover, it’s just all this and every other thing, in aggregate. they’ve both maintained my attention!

the archer theory about taylor swift coming out.

well, i've seen some people talking about this song and i had to listen to it again, since it's one of my favorite songs on lover and it also has to do with the theories and the meaning this song has to me.

i don't want to apply this to anyone so feel free to SKIP and NOT READ if you don't agree that this is a LGBTQIA+ song.

pure my own interpretation but you don't have to come to me if you don't like, she has a lot of songs and some of them are free for interpretations and they have different meanings to different people.

the first line it's:

“combat, i'm ready for combat / i say i don't want that but what if i do?”

this line to me has the deepest meaning and it comes along with the one in you are in love “and you will understand now why they lost their minds and fought the wars” and in ivy “this is the goddamn fight of my life and you started it” and both songs are before and after the archer which makes the archer in the middle.

the combat she's (maybe) referring to it's about coming out being (still) the american dream and the woman everyone looks up to when it comes to pop music, she says she don't want it but what if she does? what if she want to fight for it, fight for who she is and who she wants people to see that she really is? it's a combat because you can't come out if you're not ready to start a war against the world.

“cause cruelty wins in the movies / i've got a hundred thrown-out speeches i almost said to you”

cruelty here, to me, it's about how cruel it is to not have the story of your life in the big screen, like, we grow up seeing the bad stories about LGBTQIA+ couples and it's always about how they didn't end up together or how bad they are treated. the “speeches i almost said to you" looks like something she was ready to say to us, her fans, and she didn't had the chance or she wasn't really ready.

“easy they come, easy they go / i jump from the train, i ride off alone / i never grow up it's getting so old, help me hold on to you”

when i first saw the miss americana documentary, i highlighted that part where she is trying to convince her father and the rest of the team that it was a good idea/good move to speak up about the politics and the situation of the trump thing. and it was very hard for me to watch because it was clearly a bunch of old men that grew up and still have in mind their conservatory concepts that goes against what taylor wanted to tell her whole life, they were just trying to silence her and she decided to do it anyway because she is a grown woman and she never spoke up about those things before the reputation era.

the easy they come and easy they go line goes for the fans, they are always in and out and sometimes some of them never want to come back and stay because in the first bad thing that happens to her it pulls them away. she jumps from the train and ride off alone, the train maybe is about her life that never stops and she takes a break from it, the media, the relationships, the image she has in front of the whole world and she ride alone because there's no one in the world that could understand her more than herself. she never grow up when it comes to being more mature when it comes to some things and having the capacity to speak her truth, she's asking us to let her hold on to us when things go harder and when everyone else has left her.

“i've been the archer, i've been the prey / who could ever leave me darling, but who could stay?”

i fucking love this line so much because when you are a LGBTQIA+ kid growing up, you always has to fight against being the bad person and the good person, you grow up seeing in the news that you will die young and that there's people out there that will try to tell you that loving someone of the same sex is the wrong thing to do. being the archer and also the prey is like haunting yourself until you realize who you really are, you have that idea internalized in you, the homophobic jokes you grew up listening and you're also the target and it's like both sides of a coin. who could ever leave her for being a (bi, pan, lesbian) woman? who could ever stay if she's a (bi pan, lesbian) woman? it's like “who could stay in the darkest of the darkest times here with me because it looks like i am lost and i don't know where to go”

“dark side, i search for your dark side / but what if i'm alright, right, right, right here?”

the dark side is not the bad side like people point out, the dark side of someone is like when the moon is half shown and half hidden, and you can only see the part that's out for the light. here the dark side of taylor is the one she haven't showed to us, and to me this line is not about a potential lover but about herself. and this song feels like a mirror, so to me, she's talking to herself and trying to find her dark side in front of her own image. the sequence “alright, right” it's like the dark side saying “i am here and it's good”.

“and i cut off my nose just to spite my face / then i hate my reflection for years and years”

this fucking line is the deepest for me, because it's like, she cut a part of herself to looks like someone who she wasn't made to be, it reminds me of having to hide your true side in despite of being hurt or left aside. how many LGBTQIA+ kids and teenagers has to hide from their parents? we change our way to see the world, we lie to everyone about our love interestings, we hide in the closet and we don't face ourselves because this is not who we are and then we spent the rest of our life hating our reflection because we don't recognize this person but everybody loves this version we created, it's easy, it's very easy to love a straight person but it's the hardest thing to let a queer kid feel loved. it's very easy to not tell a straight person how to be but it's the hardest thing teach a queer kid how to love themselves.

“i wake in the night, i pace like a ghost / the room is on fire, invisible smoke / and all of my heroes die all alone / help me hold on to you”

she's s ghost to the people who live with her so she's not seen, everything is burning and there's an invisible smoke that's where she fades in, and all of her heroes, probably the queer ones that are dying everyday all alone and the ones who died were left alone in their final days. again she's asking if she can count on us to keep going if things go hard.

“i see right through me / they see right through me / can you see right through me?”

seeing through someone means that you see their true version, like if you're looking at their soul and they're so open that you can read anything. it's understanding someone and knowing someone inside and out. just like the lover mv where she's inside the fish tank, it's a metaphor for a thing that can be seen by everyone just like a mirror. and the delicate mv where she's not seen until she enters the bar and sees a person. she can see through herself and people are seeing through her but not in the way she wants to be seen and then she asks (for the fans?) if we can see right through her. could we fight the wars with her? be the shoulder for her to lean on? stay even when she's about to face the fight the biggest war of her life?

“all the king's horses, all the king's men / couldn't put me together again / cause all of my enemies started out friends”

king's horses and king's men also align with the chorus and the universe of being the prey in a world of men. also it can also be the world of a society that lives inside a bubble and cannot accept diversity. not even the men, (her father, team, men she dated?) could put her together again after all that she have been through, and it matches with the “i cut off my nose just to spite my face”. all of her enemies once were friends which implies that she can't trust anyone and as the song goes as (in my vision) a LGBTQIA+ letter to her fans, she's saying that there's no one that could handle this secret and she already tried to tell them but it ended wrong.

that's it. to me this song has a deep meaning and i couldn't put everything i wanted to in this post. also i just want taylor to know that there's a lot of sapphic connotations in her songs and i will always stay.

loving how karlie casually confirmed that the initials on the pavement in soho were in fact written for her —a rep era kaylor fan theory— in the same breath that she says that her husband carved them in there, when we have literal multiple timestamped photos that show how her initials had a TS next to them years before half the pavement was ripped up and he added the J!and nobody’s batting a fucking eye!!

Me! // Lavender Haze // The Ladder (the first nationally distributed lesbian publication in the United States) // Lavender Haze tour visuals (web weavings)

me🌈me

in Miss Americana, taylor describes her vision of the ME! music video, and mentions that there will be a parade outside.

the visuals, she lists off to brendon, her collaborator, are all the things that make her her

including:

🏳️‍🌈gay pride🏳️‍🌈

and if youve watch the music video intently, you will be sure to have noted that these two men kissing one another, used as a representation of “gay pride” do in fact close in for a kiss:

in this way, this clip from Miss Americana connects the “parade” scene to “gay pride”

and at the parade taylor chants that, while there is no i in team, as echoed on the pavement,

there is a me.

a me on the team. hm.

what team?

and speaking of parade

what parade?

making that sign...

what sign?

what sign..?

a sign cancelling one of the things that makes:

A more in depth analysis of my theory that Peace is from both Taylor and Karlie’s perspective. The bold is Taylor speaking, the normal text is Karlie and the italicized is my own interpretation. :) Hope you like it! I’ll maybe add pictures to another post later. 

Our coming-of-age has come and gone

In reference to the golden Kaylor age of glass closeting in the public eye 2014 - 2016 (I say 2016 but you could tell she was starting to want to hide then, Taylor) 

Suddenly this summer, it’s clear

Cruel Summer reference for me like the summer her gives her clarity it’s been cruel. 

I never had the courage of my convictions

and she never leaves well enough alone think of kissgate aftermath and 2016 another cruel summer mess

As long as danger is near

And it’s just around the corner, darlin’

Taylor sings “darlin’” alot on Lover so that is partially why I think she’s speaking this part. 

‘Cause it lives in me

Taylor always thinks “who could live with this” the drama of her life and the danger of not being safe to live in the closet or out of it. Dual meaning. 

No, I could never give you peace

This is what they are both saying to each other throughout the song. 

- Taylor

“But I’m a fire and I'll keep your brittle heart warm

Call it what you want ‘(s)he built a fire to keep me warm. So kk builds the fires. 

If your cascade, ocean wave blues come

Taylor speaks alot about her blues from reputation to folklore that she suffers from depression or sadness waves. Karlie is saying if your blues come again I will build the fire with my heart. I think they both suffer from this as most people do but I picture Karlie the one saying no matter what I will take care of you in sadness. 

All these people think love’s for show

But I would die for you in secret

I think this is reference to Taylor’s fans. If Karlie, God Forbid, were to die right now no one would know she’s the love of Taylors life unless Taylor said something. She would sacrifice herself in secret for Taylor. This is the deepest line to me. She (Karlie) is referencing Taylor’s fanbase they freak out over a like from a man on Instagram everyone thinks it’s for show but she would die for her in secret.

The devil’s in the details, but you got a friend in me

The details being the Easter Eggs to Kaylors and the drudgery of stunting. The devil is in the details of her public persona and Taylor’s public persona. ‘you got a friend in me’ is my favorite line! I think about Karlie’s tweet that she will always have Taylor’s back and then the line from ‘It’s Nice to Have a Friend’ - ‘have my back, yeah, everyday, it’s nice to have a friend’. Then Karlie is saying ‘you have a friend in me!’ in Peace. 

Would it be enough if I could never give you peace?”

They both are vowing this to each other it’s beautiful.

- Karlie

Your integrity makes me seem small - T

I think this line could either be T or K. Taylor in the 2015 era of Calvin and Karlie maybe wanting to be free. The opposite goes for Karlie now and Taylor. Karlie seems to be the one to feel like her ‘integrity’ is compromised because she is associated with a K*shner in America right now. Taylor can’t and won’t associate with Karlie right now in the public sphere because of this. 

You paint dreamscapes on the wall - K

Taylor has been painting dreamscapes since rep era. I think this line is like them musing about their habits when they were together in Taylor’s pre-rep phase. Taylor even painted the dreamscapes in the cardigan music video. Also Taylor is saying “you” then the next line is “I”. 

I talk shit with my friends, it’s like I’m wasting your honor -T

I think this line could apply to either of them again. They both feel like they are wasting away the other’s promise to each other because they are closeted. In the public sphere they both worry they are wasting the others honor.

And you know that I’d swing with you for the fences - K

Baseball reference Karlie loves Baseball (me too girl). 

Sit with you in the trenches - T

Ok, I think this is T because she references her grandfather in epiphany in the trenches. She is her grandfather’s granddaughter. A James to her Betty reference if you will. She would sit in the trenches with K. Which is essentially what’s happening right now. They are in the trenches. 

Give you my wild -K

This line reminds me of ‘maybe you ran with the wolves and refused to settle down’ is definitely about Karlie!!! Also the atticus book that the anon told me about, 

give you a child -T

I think this one could be either of them again. It’s a suggestion. As the song goes on I see it as they are starting to both cut to the chase and talking directly to each other like their fears are coming out one on top of the other.

Give you the silence that only comes when two people understand each other - T

Taylor sings about silence on YAIL ‘you can hear it in the silence’ the silence on Cornelia Street when you can hear it literally at the end of the song. Taylor is saying the silence is comfortable they completely understand each other and their love in the silence.

Family that I chose, now that I see your brother as my brother

Is it enough? - K

Taylor in that one instagram post where she says ‘when your friends feel like family’ is with her Austin and Karlie. I’ll post it if I find it. This one line has really helped I think us see the whole song from Karlie’s perspective too. 

But there’s robbers to the east, clowns to the west - T

But the people who come for us will be coming for us and I can’t guarantee the peace of all the drama. That comes with her public brand.

I’d give you my sunshine, give you my best - K

Sunshine is Karlie. Periodt. She will try her best always for T. 

But the rain is always gonna come if you’re standin’ with me - T

I like that it ends with this line before the chorus again. It started with Taylor and ended with her. It’s always a fear of hers that the rain is going to come and scare away her true love she’s so scared of it being a ‘dealbreaker’ in her relationships. At the end though it feels like they are both standing in the rain staring up. Like as long as you know the rain is going to come when you’re standing with me and you choose that for yourself, then we will be fine. I think it ends on a positive note. That is generally is a happy beautiful song sounds like vows to me. 

right where you left me, Taylor Swift ♡︎
