it’s just like. maybe she just liked the colors of the bi flag and dyed her hair for fun. maybe she liked the idea of cedar closets and was inspired to write a song about an ex boyfriend. maybe she wore a rainbow dress during her pride speech because rainbows are pretty. maybe she dressed like a pride flag flamingo for wango tango to match pride month as an ally. maybe she said that gay pride makes her her because she’s that committed to allyship. maybe she heard about the connotations of lavender in the 50s and wrote a song about how that mirrors her feelings for her boyfriend. maybe she’s never heard of the “hair pin drop around the world” (stonewall) and just chose something that wouldn’t make much noise. maybe she really just likes singing from alternate perspectives. maybe she forgot to change the pronouns when she covered riptide from a female perspective. maybe she put herself in glass closets in multiple music videos because she feels trapped by herself. maybe she wrote so much about secrecy on reputation because she thought if she was seen with her boyfriend publicly it would ruin the relationship. maybe she wrote so much about secrecy in her earlier albums because she prefers privacy. maybe she wrote about secrecy on folklore and evermore because she was writing fiction. maybe she compared loving her partner to sin that forfeits her good standing with god and the world because she likes to be dramatic. maybe the very first night is about a guy and she just accidentally made the verses rhyme with “her”. maybe she really likes daisies because they’re pretty. maybe connections between cruel summer and closure are accidental. maybe connections between it’s time to go and down bad are accidental. maybe she’s been best friends with all of her lovers. maybe!
………………However,
First thread I'll import here is this one: Every Kaylor references on The Eras Tour
On Twitter I update this thread from time to time when I find new things, not too sure how it works on Tumblr 😅 But I'll figure it out!
So here's all the Kaylor references I could find while watching the concert, TikTok and by my beautiful moots on Twitter.
There is daisies on the necklace she wears during Lover Era.
Daisies on the ceiling during Love Story (Karlie's favourite song)
Daisies on the piano during the surprise songs.
During Bad Blood - wich is Track 8 of 1989, there's a 3 light up on the ceiling.
8/3 = Karlie's birthday
During Invisible String, you can see the letters KK light up in the audience.
This person found out that if you mirror two Ks, it gives a diamond. Just like the stage.
Sadly I screenrecorded it when I saw it and forgot to take note of who did this, so I can't credit...
In Bad Blood Taylor on the screen wears something odly similar to what Karlie wore during the 2014 VSFS
Notice the floor that look like a chess game? Taylor recreated it during the Mastermind set.
And during the 2014 VSFS Taylor sang style and walked hand in hand with Karlie, well she does the same with one dancer.
More than that, with Karlie she walked exactly 16 steps.
With the dancer, she walks exactly 16 steps.
But she also points at the dance in the exact same way that she pointed at Karie.
There's also A LOT of eye theory references during the show.
During Delicate
During My Tears Ricochet (PS I don't remembre where I took this picture, so if it's one of you, tell me and i'll credit you)
Also some pointed that the dilated pupils made them think of the Best Best Friends staring contest and Karlie's eyes.
During Illicit Affairs
During Fearless
During Mastermind. At some point the diamond look like an eye.
During the reputation intro, the hands are not Taylor's, but looks a lot like Karlie's.
At the end of Delicate, the stage looks like a giraffe neck as pointed out by Gaylolore on Tiktok.
In Style when she sings "take me home" New York city appears on the screen with the sun moving toward something.
And there's a golden path illuminated in the streets.
The sun also appears on the screen during surprise songs.
The new Lover necklace has butterflies on it. (In the Best Best Friends video, Taylor described Karlie as a Fairy Butterfly, and there's also the ME! mural...)
The Folklore cabin is a replica of the Castro cabin where both Taylor and Karlie stayed at Big Sur.

The Delicate performance has a lot or ressemblance to this Caroline Herrera commercial Karlie did.
The entirerity of The Last Great American Dinasty with the Karlie look alike and their interactions.
Ok that's about it for the Kaylor references I could find in the tour visual.
I'll probably do a part two for all the Kaylor Koicidences that happened during the tour too. because there's A LOT.
This one piece of evidence is enough for me
Can we talk about how if Taylor had phrased it "lesbian pride makes me me!" they'd still be arguing "SHE JUST SUPPORTS LESBIANS!"
There is literally 0 logic to thinking it's not an identity statement, yet they find a way.
If you're not trans like myself then are you really going to say trans pride makes you who you are just because you're an ally???
Who you support does not correlate with personal identity. Something cannot make you who you are unless you are that something. This isn't a complicated concept
I think it's just one of the biggest proofs that it has never mattered what Taylor says or does, and that is why hairpin drop was dismissed when it has 0 other meaning and she doubled down to use it again 2 years after non-stop discourse about it.
It's simply 1 of 2 things:
1. They know Taylor is queer but will always force an act that they don't believe it simply because they don't want her to be or for that to be normalized.
2. They genuinely will not recognize anything explicity queer as queer because of that deep dislike towards the community even if it stems from internalization.
At this point there is simply not anyone that doesn't have homophobic views that cannot see at the very least that the Lover era was a coming out. I do not believe it.
The same song that she said "gay pride makes me me" about is a song about herself, her own love, characterized by queer pride, music video released on lesbian visibility day, and then you further pair that with all the promo posts for it being captioned the date of lesbian visibility with the pictures solely using the lesbian flag colors as the theme. Nobody is confused, it's just hate.

does anyone wanna hold hands until we feel a little braver
Alrighty folks, buckle up, because I googled "Taylor Swift Wonderland music video" and have fallen down a as of yet unsolved Eras tour puzzle/ one of the greatest theories I've ever heard!
Reddit Link also included
Her muse ☀️🥰
esp when it’s a photo from a road trip and in the song she shouts out “trip of my life” 🙈
At least we got something interesting
Cornelia Street? With Maroon? TODAY?
Bonus Karlie at the Cornelia Street apartment:
Someone might've found this already—I don't remeber, but like... look at it...
There's of course this gem too, just for posterity.
