- Invisible String.
Disclaimer: This is just my personal opinion and theory based on Taylor’s lyrics. I think her music can be interpreted in many ways. Based on her past clues and lyrics, I think it is possible that Taylor could be part of the LGBT community, and this could be her way of telling us in this album. I think it is okay for queer fans to interpret this song in a queer way, and it’s not bad to do so because Taylor encourages interpretations & it’s not a bad thing to be LGBT+
Taylor: “ I decided on track five because of the lyrics of ‘tolerate it’ and how it’s so visual, and conveys such a specific kind of hurt. “
To me, this specific hurt can be described as the pain of someone who you really look up to not accepting you for who you are. I can relate to this, especially as a young kid. I would constantly look up to my teachers, older friends, etc. wondering in the back of my mind: Would you still like me like this if you knew my secret? It is such a specific hurt that I think many, if not all, LGBT+ people have related to at some point in their lives. With that in mind, let’s dive in…
I sit and watch you I notice everything you do or don’t do You’re so much older and wiser, and I
We all look up to someone and want to be like them. We change our behavior to make ourselves more likeable, more mature for the person we admire because they’re so cool, they know what they’re doing, you want to be just like them, right? Most of all, you crave their acceptance. You want to appear as cool as they think you are.
I wait by the door like I’m just a kid Use my best colors for your portrait Lay the table with the fancy shit And watch you tolerate it
Scott Borchetta took a chance on Taylor when he saw her at the Bluebird Cafe. She took a chance on him, too. They were both starting out fresh in the industry. It was a new beginning, Taylor of course had this dream and would do anything to make it come true. Scott had a dream of having his own record label. She put out her best songs, strengthened her voice, and stayed true to who she was. And he supported her then. She made him successful.
If it’s all in my head tell me now Tell me I’ve got it wrong somehow I know my love should be celebrated But you tolerate it
This verse breaks my heart. This is so reminiscent of a young LGBT+ kid being told that “it’s just a phase,” “you’re too young to know,” and “don’t tell anyone.” Or it’s dismissed completely. It’s a shame, a dirty secret. Taylor knew her love wasn’t wrong, but yet Scott still tried to stifle this in her. He “tolerated” it.
I greet you with a battle hero’s welcome I take your indiscretions all in good fun I sit and listеn, I polish plates until they gleam and glistеn You’re so much older and wiser and I
Despite the pain, she still tries her best to be what he wants, fit her mold, do what she has to to make them both successful. This is her dream, right? She believes him that this is the right thing to do.
While you were out building other worlds, where was I? Where’s that man who’d throw blankets over my barbed wire? I made you my temple, my mural, my sky Now I’m begging for footnotes in the story of your life
He betrayed her by selling her masters without her consent or knowledge – to the very man who she cried on his shoulder about, Scooter. Taylor put her everything into both hers and Scott’s careers. She made Big Machine. All she wants is her music, her life story. But instead, she has to constantly defend herself from his attacks on her character and business ethics.
You assume I’m fine, but what would you do if I Break free and leave us in ruins Took this dagger in me and removed it Gain the weight of you then lose it Believe me, I could do it
I think this could be her asking: “What would you do if I decided to come clean about all of this? What would happen if I told everyone my truth despite your best efforts to conceal it? I could do it. I’m stronger than ever. I don’t need you. I could do it.”
What do you guys think of this song?
I don't think that Karlie proposed to Taylor and that Taylor said no to her either, but the rumor that Karlie did propose to Taylor and Taylor saying no to her has been floating around for several years and this rumor eventually evolved into an explanation as to why Karlie "married" Josh, people who believe in that rumor think that Karlie was so upset about her proposal being rejected that she distanced herself from her and Taylor's mutual friend group and said yes to Josh when he offered her a lavender marriage because she didn't have any reason to say no to him and that she was too distanced from her friends for them to convince her that a lavender marriage with him would be a bad idea, and that she just stopped being her sunshiney self because she was so miserable that Taylor said no to her.
But yeah... It turns out that a lot of people think that the piano to champagne problems sounds like the piano to New Year's Day and a lot of people also think that champagne problems is the follow-up song to Dancing With Our Hands Tied because of the lyrics, so if Taylor casually said "Oh, champagne problems is about Karlie" then even Swifties at this point would probably be really sympathetic towards her and Karlie, and the line about a sister in champagne problems even made a few people who aren't Kaylors be like, "Did Taylor mean Kimby with that line?" and "Did Taylor mean the dorm's at NYU where Karlie went?"
champagne problems is super distressing to a lot of people and the line about the college dorm room's and the sister are making people think the song isn't fictional and is instead about Karlie because she's the only person in Taylor's life that fits the "Went to college, has a sister" bill that they can think of 😬
The Swifties won’t get it because then that would imply Karlies relationship with jerk is fake. She met Taylor after she was already bearding “dating” Jerk. I don’t think it’s distressing to a lot of people. All Taylor has to do is say it’s James storyline in 3 triangle and people will be like oh that’s not about her life. 🙄That whole storyline doesn’t sound like Karlie to me it sounds like a fan fiction. Folklore.
Finally I went to look at Karlie’s “recent” photos, just because I thought it was strange that they didn’t recognize Kimby in the photos. So, I found something even stranger. First, I want to say that I think these are latergram, something that KK uses routinely, so as not to indicate her whereabouts in real time. I believe that little Swift-Kloss is already among us (and God willing, far from Jerk). And in December, KK had already said how difficult it was for her to do her daily exercises, and even going up a few flights of stairs, made her very tired. So, therefore, I think it’s unlikely that she went for a walk on the street, when she is so close to her birth. Not to mention that because of the risk of contamination, and because of tiredness, it would be much safer and more comfortable for her to walk inside her property, in the external area. “After all, she lives in a mansion with Jerk”, there’s no shortage of space, and if she gets tired, she’s already “in her house”.
Second, and more importantly, there seems to be a “dispute” between the KK team and the JK team. There are 3 news, 2 from DM (Jerk’s PR) and 1 from People (Kar’s PR).
The Jerk’s team released the “papped”, on the 8 th, on the DM (it was edited two hours after publication. I don’t know what changed), and sneakily, in the captions of the photos they claim that he’s the father.
On the 9th, in the afternoon, Kar’s team responds by releasing People’s report about their walk, stressing (again) that the child is only hers. Realize that the report claims to be her baby… “Karlie Kloss is getting her steps before her baby’s arrival!”, and implies that Jerk’s the father… “Both soon-to-be parents wore baseball caps…”
But they never claim to be their child … “‘Karlie is overjoyed to be expecting her first child in 2021,’ a source close to Kloss told PEOPLE in October. ‘She will be the most amazing mother.’ ”.
And then, on the 9th, at night, Jerk’s team counters the publication of People magazine. However, now, they change tactics and are more brazen, stating in the second sentence of the story that JK is the father. In addition, they still commit the gross blunder of not knowing that the woman next to Kar is her younger sister, Kimby Kloss (I think there is a trainee in trouble. Lol).
How do I know they are two different teams? Simple, for the different ways in which both news treat Karlie. In People magazine’s report, made by Karlie’s new PR team, they use words from previous reports and, as always, highlight some of her qualities as an independent and entrepreneurial woman (Not to mention that ALL of Karlie’s team knows Kimby). In the DM’s news, Jerk’s team wanted to make it look like they were made by the KK team, but they made a mistake by using the same old, lazy style of shit published by SB, whenever he released something about KK when he was still her representative. SB talks about the clothes her wears, and always highlights Jerk. If you read it, you notice that SB mentions KK minimally, and tries to make Jerk look cool and the good guy. He emphasizes the new property that the “couple” bought “together”, which the “happy couple” intends to spend more time with family (Kushners), but points out that Jerk is totally opposed to Jared politically. There’s nothing talking about Karlie in a good light, she’s just objectified with her modeling job and the “nice” guy’s “good wife”. That is, SB used Kar’s pregnancy treacherously (typical of SB/JK) to promote Jerk in a good way. The “good” business guy, the “good” husband, the “good” father, the “good” son and the “best” brother.
Another proof of what two different teams are like is that KK’s current PR team has an approach to her pregnancy of never claiming that JK is the father of her baby (which SB did the day before yesterday). Kar’s new team, in addition to always extolling her achievements, empowers her, highlighting some of her work and, whenever appropriate, that is, that she has to mention JK, they reaffirm her liberal political position, and show the conflicts and divergences with the Kushners. They having a preference for People magazine. And always when they talk about the pregnancy, they just imply that Jerk is the father, but they never claim that the “his baby” or “their baby/child”. They always use the words “her baby”! See what happened in Gigi’s pregnancy announcement in the same magazine! They never use “her baby”, as they do in ALL the news about Karlie.
And see how it sounds and looks different “just” because of the use of a only word, “her”. In the KK’s ad, you can also deduce that there’re two things happening at the same time, semantically. Kar is expecting her first child. And while she may be expecting someone else’s baby (her first child), Kar is also with her husband (Jerk’s not the father, just the pregnant woman’s “husband”).
It’s not for nothing that SB made a point of using “her” twice in the DM reports, but in a different way.
It’s a small detail of semantics, but it’s always there, “her baby” or “her first child”, but never theirs baby.
“…But I would die for you in secret The devil’s in the details, but you got a friend in me…” (peace)
After this, I asked myself, “why do a publication so different from the first, but still implying that JK is the father?”. Because KK is still under contract (I think in the sunset clause part), and also I think this is for the narrative that the girls are likely to follow, when will she be divorced from JK, to clarify that he is not the father of Karlie’s child (Kar: “See the news! I always said that was my baby.”). And all this care in particular, leads me to believe that the girls intend to erase Jerk from the future narrative about who is the real dad of little Swift-Kloss. This will be the operation “Throwing away the trash!”. Lol. I’m of the opinion that, a good PR can do wonders in your life. And Tree is awesome at what she does! See how the Swifties still believe Toe is real, even with all the holes in their timeline. She even managed to convert some gaylors. Tree is f@#$ing awesome! (Sorry about that, Tree. But it’s as accurate as I can describe your work.)
I hate that they to imply that Jerk is the father of Tay and KK’s baby, but at least they never claim that. You must be wondering, “what difference does it make? If they imply that JK is the father, makes people still believe that it’s true.” Well, for you, it might not make any difference, but apparently it makes all the difference for the moms of little Swift-Kloss. And that, for those who still don’t understand that part, is the only thing that matters to Taylor and Karlie. They know their truth!
If you paid attention to MA, they decided to live their romantic life in secret, without an expiration date for this to cease to be so. All the little things that they share with us, through tips, small maneuvers (like this one of always saying “her baby” in the news) and the easter eggs pointing out that they’re still a couple, are not for: “Karlie still have someone to buy her adidas merchandise, she has no audience other than kaylors”; or for “Taylor to have support when she leaves”. No! Taylor and Karlie do this, because that was the only way they found to still share, with those who know that they’re a couple (although they still wear beards) and support them, a little bit of what is going on in their family life outside the spotlights.
Don’t be angry, or feel “betrayed”, or used. After all, they owe nothing to any of us, and they never asked or promised anything to anyone around here. Is it frustrating to see Jerk’s face or oat milk’s face? It sure is! Frustration is what I feel most since they disappeared from the spotlight. And look, I’ve been here since 2014, I went through the ordeal of seeing Kissgate, CH and everything else. And despite that turbulent period, at least, we had photos and videos of them together. If you’re not prepared to go through these acrobatics (with Jerk still here until his contract, finally, to end), without almost having a nervous breakdown or of anger, imagine when you realize that there is a great chance of the girls, possibly, never publicly assume not even their friendship again. So, if this is bothering you or hurting your mental health, I advise you to leave. There’re thousands of other cool things to do out there.
After all, why would they reveal their relationship to the public? For them to hear some people saying THE ABSURD that, “Taylor cares more about her masters than about her own child”?! Why bother to leave their sanctuary, if they’re going to hear this kind of shit and worse (here and in all the world media too), while now they’re living happily and at peace together? They’re even increasing their family Klan!
If they’re forced to hear RIDICULOUS things like that, I prefer that they continue to live their romance in silence.

we begin our story in new york. there once was a girl known by everyone and no one. her heart belonged to someone who couldn’t stay. they loved each other recklessly. they paid the price. she danced to forget him. he drove past her street each night. she made friends and enemies. he only saw her in his dreams. then, one day, he came back. timing is a funny thing, and everyone was watching. she lost him, but she found herself and somehow ... that was EVERYTHING.
this may be the best thing I have ever seen
