Buckle Up, Fam, Because I Have A Theory, Comprising A Lot Of Different Threads I’ve Been Piecing Together

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…

Buckle Up, Fam, Because I Have A Theory, Comprising A Lot Of Different Threads I’ve Been Piecing Together

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:

Oop—

Image of "How Dare You Presume I'm Heterosexual" badge with a black outline, white background with black and red text that reads "How Dare You Presume I'm Heterosexual", the word "dare" the only word in red.

Image of "How Dare You Presume I'm Heterosexual" badge with a black outline, white background with black and light pink text that reads "How Dare You Presume I'm Heterosexual", the word "dare" the only word in light pink. The light pink "dare" likely having been red once, but is now faded with age.

Screenshot of text informing about the 'How Dare You Presume I'm Heterosexual' badge.

Summary reads, "'How Dare You Presume I'm Heterosexual' badge, alternatively known as a button, made by Patrick Brothers. The slogan was used by the gay community in the 1980s and 1990s. This badge is part of a Museum Victoria collection documenting the material culture of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer communities in Victoria (GLBT). In 2005 Museum Victoria joined with the Australian Lesbian and Gay Archives and the State Library of Victoria to conduct a survey of GLBT material culture in public and private collections in Victoria."

Physical description of badge reads, "Round plastic coated badge. It has a white background with black and pink text and a black edge. A pin attached to back of badge."

Taylor Swift wearing a white "This is not Taylor's version" shirt for the "Red" section of The Eras Tour. The text is black and red, "is not" being the only text in red.

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.

Liar, liar, pants on fire

Taylor has referred to herself as the narrator of the story within her music over and over again, but what type of narrator is she referring to? It’s appears that Taylor has been alluding to being the unreliable narrator of her own story.

The unreliable narrator is a form of literary device utilised by authors to create plot twists and conflicted characters within a story. In the process the narrator may withhold information, lie to the audience or mislead them. This encourages them to cast doubt on the narrative and engage with the material on a deeper level. The benefit of telling a story in this way is that it forces the audience to come to their own conclusions when the narrator’s point of view cannot be trusted.

When we apply this context to Taylor’s role in retelling her story we start to understand why she has been affectionately referred to as ‘Tayliar’. There is a layer of mistruth sprinkled throughout her story to alter the way it is interpreted so that everyone can slowly see through the facade that was being presented to us. This is a gentle approach, but also an effective one.

Taylor has slowly been drawing more attention to the lies so that more people will notice. This has intensified the split in the narrative, leading to a hostile divide between those who can see the truth and those who believe that the fantasy is real. Both have different points of view but only one side is right, and it's the gaylors because we can see how all of the pieces of the puzzle fall into place when it's viewed through a queer perspective. There's a lot more to the story past this point, but it is the beginning point for many to begin questioning the narrative.

What we're continuing to see unfold now is the lies being told to keep up the facade for everyone else. This phase is supposed to feel contradictory as Taylor continues the process of leaving a trail of clues. I understand many have known the truth for years and are growing tiresome waiting for an ending, but I'd urge you to see that what's happening now isn't for us, it's for those who still believe in the fantasy.

Unfortunately the ending of a story told by an unreliable narrator is oftentimes anti-climactic. It sounds cliche but it really is about the journey and not the destination. But the good news is that there really is so much suspense, complexity and beauty when you are paying attention to all of the small cracks forming in the facade. This is where it becomes clear that Taylor truly is a mastermind.

It's likely that some will accuse Taylor of gaslighting her fans when they discover the truth, but the majority will begin to understand why she kept it a secret once they've had a chance to uncover the truth that has been hidden in plain sight for themselves.

"If you ask me if I love him, I'd lie" -Taylor Swift

A tortured poet,
