Most Of The Renegade Lyrics Link Back To Songs On Reputation Through Evermore, But There Is One Linking

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!

taylorswift: Basic autumn lovers RISE 🍂🧣

Eureka!(?) 🤔

“ ♠️ You and I became us and we. There we stood, no frets to be. My hand in yours, our hearts intwined. The sound it came, in slow pitched waves. Higher and higher, deep fears it raised. Reaching an amplitude, a crack it made. Hold me close, hold me tight. This glass castle will shatter tonight. - 12/04/2019 ”

OMG!!! I think this riddle talks about the baby!!! This seems to explain their story!!! 😮 👭🏼♥️👶🏼

"You (KK) and I (Tay) became us (Kaylor/👭🏼) and we (Swift-Kloss family/👭🏼👶🏼)”.

“There we stood, no frets to be. My hand in yours, our hearts intwined.” -> This’s the description of the development of their relationship. “There we stood, no frets to be” = They started out as friends and, little by little, they realized that it wasn’t just friendship; “My hand in yours” (for me, the act of ‘holding hands’ is extremely significant. You normally hold the hands of someone close to you… Someone you trust) = They’ve become a couple; “our hearts intwined” = They’re married.

“The sound it came” = ultrasound/baby; “in slow pitched waves” = The decision to raise their family, to have a baby, was something very well planned and probably for years.

“Higher and higher, deep fears it raised” = This is kind of self-explanatory. Imagine the panic it must be, you have to think, every day, until the end of your life, about someone else’s safety. YOUR CHILD!!! (For those here who are parents, congratulations! YOU’RE INCREDIBLY BOLD!)

“Reaching an amplitude” = for most people, this is the greatest achievement of your life… you’ve the love between you and your partner, personified in a little person; “a crack it made” = as many have said here, this baby is the one who will make them reveal their relationship to the world.

“Hold me close, hold me tight” = sums up their feeling/situation, through this long journey they’ve been facing. As difficult and scary as it’s, they continue to keep the other standing. Always together.

“This glass castle will shatter tonight” = When the decision to actually have a child, to raise the Swift-Kloss family, was made(the day of the decision), they finally found the end point for their “glass closet”. That child is what will get them out of the “glass castle” they’ve lived in the past few years.

That’s it!!! I think spades revealed to us that little Swift-Kloss was coming more than a year before we knew that Kar’s pregnant.

👭🏼♥️👶🏼

p.s .: And I only had this epiphany because I was rereading the ♠’s riddles to answer that anon who was talking about the ellipse in the clue “They are free” (@spade-riddles ). And by the way, here’s my thoughts on that. And now, perhaps, the baby is the “Fervent Revolution”.

For me, the ellipse represents time. I believe that something big will happen in Taylor’s career (Fervent Revolution); then they’ll probably take a break. Taylor will be silent for a few days, waiting for the first furore of the news to calm down (…); and then, finally, Taylor will explain everything that happened/Or Tay will let people find out on their own (Exonerate Everyone).

Hello fellow tinhat.

Something I saw on Reddit yesterday has sent me into a spiral of wonderfulness about Gold Rush.

A reminder of what Taylor said about Gold Rush, that it: “takes place inside a single daydream where you get lost in thought for a minute and then snap out of it.”

I had a theory from very early on that Gold Rush was about kaylor meeting at the Met Gala in 2011. I didn’t have any solid ‘evidence’ of this, but some stuff stuck out. As a refresher, we know that they met and had an interaction at the 2011 Met Gala because a year and a half later Karlie said that this was when the baking date joke first started. They joked about it, Taylor then mentioned it during her Vogue interview Sept 13, 2011, and then Karlie saw it when Vogue was released in January 2012 and tweeted ‘your kitchen or mine?’ Karlie wore a gold dress that year to the Met Gala and then 8 years later, she famously wore another gold dress and captioned her insta post “Gold Rush”.

What really made me think Gold Rush was about the 2011 Met Gala was just the whole way it vibes with the toe storyline, because I think the Toe fanfiction was invented to mimic Kaylor’s actual truth, partly to allow Taylor to write about her experiences and attribute them to joe in a believable way. It’s easier to lie when it’s partly true. So if Taylor first developed a crush on Karlie at the Met Gala 2011, it just smoothly fits into this toe thing, in a way. This is especially true when you add in the fact that Dianna was also there, and then Taylor and Dianna may have started something within days of when Taylor shouted out Karlie in the Vogue interview in Sept 2011, and both Karlie and Dianna tweeted about the Vogue cover in a flirtatious way. You end up with this messy bit of a love triangle type thing going on, not too far off from the mess that was Calvin/Tom/Joe (Karlie) in 2016. Not that I think we can say that anything really was going on between kaylor at this time, but you can definitely see flirting and crushing going on, which fits the toe narrative about them being friends and texting while Taylor secretly had a crush while dating Tom. Not exactly the same of course, but if this was all happening back then it gives her this ability to write about real situations and feelings while being able to attribute it to the boyfriends. And the whole message of Gold Rush is that it’s just a dream and it could never be. And so it was for another 2 years (in the toe fantasy it was just 3 months of her daydreaming about it and thinking it could never be.)

So this was just a silly, fun idea I had until yesterday when I saw this excerpt form her Vogue interview on Reddit. Keep in mind the spring 2012 show took place in Sept 2011:

👀 What are the odds? She was even wearing an folkevermore-style cottagecore dress!

I also realized that in August 2011, in the same sort of timeframe all this was going on, Taylor wore a Philadelphia Eagles shirt during Speak Now tour 👀

And on top of all that, at this time karlie was getting what I consider to be her first real chance at fame outside of the fashion world, because she got a cover story for Life Magazine, released Sept 10, 2011 (all this going on at the same time is kinda crazy!) And this video was part of that photoshoot:

Very ‘gleaming twinkling’ if you ask me. Plus Daisies!?!

So I hope you will join me in this wildness. It seems right up your alley.

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:

you know what i was just thinking about the locket, that became a thing back when CH was around. like, it says 2015 on it, and the post was made in 2016...

why would taylor put out a piece of merch hearkening back to a Tayv*n artifact with the words

myLover

on it, if the whole album is supposed to be about her current Man Of The Moment??

are the kids out there assuming that the dj is still her secret boyfriend?? what’s the take, folks?

especially considering everything up til now with someone either than all the boys

and just like...

the locket being in the YAIL taymoji pack??

and YAIL mirroring the instagram post?

hello??

hello out there~~~

Taylor: You are what you love.

Yes, Taylor. YOU are what you love.

If anyone has more of these, feel free to add them. I want to see how many we can come up with 🌼☀️
