Taylor Swift references many fairy tales in her music. Alice, Dorothy and Wendy in particular are often referenced in her lyrics and music videos.

Alice falls down the rabbit hole into Wonderland.

Dorothy travels to Oz.

Wendy flies to Neverland.

But one thing they all have in common is this feeling of being lost with the desire to get back home again.

I see these stories as a reflection of the public version of Taylor wanting to reunite with the private version of Taylor that became lost along the way.

Posting this thread here bc it perfectly summarizes my thoughts on this theory and I want to reference it later

It’s Nice To Have A Friend with dorothea?!?! Oh my goodness

Buckle up, fam, because I have a theory, comprising a lot of different threads I’ve been piecing together for a while now

Yesterday, TaylorNation posted a bunch of lyrics from different albums on Instagram and Twitter.

I knew that something was up the second I saw this lyric from Speak Now, for two reasons.

1. This lyric is incorrect. It should be “I hope you remember.” This is a pretty big error to make .

2. This is the only lyric that uses multiple fonts. And I thought that font looked familiar…

Because it did. It’s the exact font as “swooping sloping cursive letters” from the Paris lyric video.

I think this is just one part of a lot of Easter eggs and threads pointing to TS 12 as a coming out album.

I’ve been a comingoutlor since the Lover era, and I’ve believed that TS12 will be a coming out album since 2022, when Taylor first told us to meet her at midnight.

Let’s unpack, shall we?

1. Taylor has been hinting at TS12 for a while now, since at least the Karma music video. At the end of the video, we see the clock tick to midnight IN BETWEEN 1989 and Reputation.

2. I remain a karma truther, and I think the Man wall is still relevant here - Karma is on the wall twice, once in black (Karma the song) and once in orange (for the lost album). I don’t think it’s a coincidence that orange Karma is at the 12 o’clock position on the wall.

I do think TS12 will be an orange/lesbian flag album. It might be called Karma, or it could just represent Karma to Taylor - all the years of cages and hiding and hurting, all leading to this moment. It’s been a long time coming, and it’s coming back around.

3. On October 18, 2024, Taylor posted a video on her Instagram of herself in a stadium. She walks 11 steps, stops in front of section A12, pauses, removes her sunglasses (I’ll come back to this) and then takes steps 12 and 13.

I think this video was signaling that there would be a pause after TS11 (which we are currently in) and then TS12 would follow.

Note that she is also holding Olivia, because Karma is a cat!

Now, everyone has been clowning for the AMAs for a while now, and I have been too! Taylor’s website literally spells out AMAs, and there are 12 items on sale for 26% off. (The AMAs are on the 26th this year). TaylorNation also seems to be pointing in that direction.

The AMAs just so happen to fall on the 2 year anniversary of the Karma music video.

This is especially suspicious given Ice Spice’s random video last year where she was not only reading a magazine from 2015 with Karlie Kloss on the cover, but she was also wearing bright orange slippers and had pink and orange vases behind her.

Here is where it gets a little crazy, stay with me.

Karlie has predicted every single album release over the last few years.

On March 16, 2025, Josh posted this:

What is happening?!

How can all of this happen in a week?

What is going on?

Oh and then Griff opened the Eras tour and sang Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

Travis Kelce & Golden Roses—Oh, We’re Keeping Count.

If you’re not spiraling yet, congratulations on your rose-colored glasses.

If you are spiraling, welcome aboard. Let’s get into it. 🌹

1. The Fit

Travis Kelce arrived at the biggest game of his career in a full rust-brown Amiri suit, paired with a shimmering, deep-V shirt and—pay attention—a golden rose brooch.

2. The Golden Rose: A Valentine’s Gift for… Who?

First, let's begin with Valentine's Day 2024. It was Travis and Taylor's first time celebrating the holiday as a couple. While Taylor was in Melbourne for The Eras Tour and Travis was absent, he adorned her with gifts. One of the gifts being... a golden stemmed rose.

So, in 2024, this was a romantic gesture of love to Miss Americana on Valentine's Day, right? Glad we can agree. Let's fast forward to February 9th, 2025.

It's time to talk about the golden rose brooch on Travis’ lapel.

While Travis was wearing one gold rose, his “best friend” Ross Travis posted a photo from the Super Bowl of a nearly identical golden rose sitting on his lap. This time, the entire rose is fully gold plated, a bit of an upgrade from last year's Valentine's gift, if I do say so myself. This rose will never wilt.

The picture above on the right was the only story Ross Travis posted that night.

Just guys being dudes? Or is there more to this?

If you swapped out one of these men for a woman, we wouldn’t even be having a debate—everyone would be freaking out over what an obvious romantic gesture this is. It was taken as a romantically sweet gesture when Taylor received one last year...

And we’re not done yet.

3. So, Why Isn’t Mainstream Media Talking About This?

Because there has only ever been ONE openly queer active NFL player.

For an industry that thrives on hyper-masculinity, it’s no surprise that this golden rose exchange isn’t making headlines. The NFL isn’t exactly known for celebrating queer relationships, and speculation around a player’s sexuality isn’t something sports media is going to touch unless it’s explicitly acknowledged.

But just because they won’t talk about it doesn’t mean we can’t see it. It doesn't mean they aren't showing us.

4. The Taylor Swift Connection: A Golden Rose, A Valentine’s Emoji, and a 2017 Throwback

Back in 2017, Taylor launched The Swift Life app, which included a set of custom Swift-themed emojis (affectionately called Taymojis).

One of the emojis in the Valentine’s Day pack was a golden rose—identical to the one Travis and Ross wore.

And the caption under that emoji?

🫡 “This will last forever.”

Yes. You read that correctly.

Every emoji in that pack was love-themed. "I <3 U." "Look out! You might catch feelings!" "Kisses!" And then we have this golden rose, captioned as something eternal.

The timing? This rose exchange between Ross and Travis happened five days before Valentine’s Day.

Now, I’m not saying Taylor had a hand in this… but I’m also saying we’ve seen too much to ignore it.

I can see the rose given to Taylor in 2024 as a symbol of temporary love, while the rose in Ross' lap at the 2025 Superbowl seems to symbolize forever, according to Taymojis and the fact that the rose is completely frozen in gold.

5. The Reputation Era Callback & Call It What You Want

This isn’t just about a golden rose and a well-tailored suit—it’s about timing.

At this same game, Taylor wore her infamous T chain, a direct reference to Call It What You Want. That alone was enough to make us dig. But when we zoom out and look at what era she’s teasing, things get even more interesting.

We are on the cusp of Reputation (Taylor’s Version), and Taylor has already warned us that the vault tracks are going to be fire. 🔥

And let’s be honest—Gaylors have been saying for YEARS that if Taylor was ever going to use a vault track to say something explicitly sapphic, Reputation TV is the place to do it.

Why? Because Reputation wasn’t just about damage control. It was about narrative control. It was about hiding in plain sight. It was about creating an image that served a purpose, while the truth stayed in the shadows.

So what if this rollout isn’t just about reclaiming her masters?

What if it’s about reclaiming her true reputation—not the one the public crafted one, not the one she had to play along with, but the one she’s been teasing at for years through hidden meanings, visual cues, and layered storytelling?

She’s nodding to Call It What You Want.

She’s doubling down on Reputation-coded imagery.

The golden rose, a symbol of permanence and love, reappears in a way that directly connects to her own past branding and gifts from Travis.

If 1989 TV was about nostalgia and reinvention, Reputation TV could be about revision and revelation.

And that, my friends, is why this moment feels bigger than just a suit, a rose, and a Super Bowl flex.

6. Final Thoughts: “Best Friends” or Something More?

If any of this had happened between a male athlete and a woman, the entire internet would be calling it romance, just as we saw in 2024.

But because it’s happening, now, between two men, we’re supposed to pretend it’s just a meaningless fashion moment?

Let’s be real:

The golden rose was a choice.

Ross Travis posting the exact same golden rose was a choice.

The Taymoji connection is insane.

The timing with Reputation references makes this undeniable.

At the end of the day, whether this is romance or just another hidden narrative, it’s very clear that this is more than just a suit.

And if you’re still not convinced? Well…

🌹 Call it what you want, I guess. 🌹
