Submission - Shamrock

Sometimes I wonder if Taylor has a “trick up her sleeve” and is secretly in the process of buying her masters from Shamrock. Or maybe buying out Sc**ter’s share (although idk how that deal is structured). I fully recognize that this is a crazy theory– pleaseeee don’t get your hopes up, everyone.

This entire Shamrock acquisition has always seemed weird to me. Taylor wanted to buy her masters. Taylor, at the very least, didn’t want Sc**ter to profit off her work. And if all else failed, Taylor was going to re-record her first six albums. None of these things were secrets– Taylor explicitly said as much. Shamrock would have known this beforehand. So why would they spend all that money, yet still let Sc**ter profit as part of the deal? If Taylor is going to do everything in her power to NOT let Sc**ter (and Shamrock) make money off her masters, why didn’t Shamrock just cut Sc**ter out? Then Taylor would have worked with them and they would have made more money. I have to think Shamrock had the upper hand here– Sc**ter needed money quickly. He needed to sell more than Shamrock needed to buy.

Something else about Shamrock: Abigail Disney is the Vice Chair, I believe. I would assume she’s involved in making decisions. Abigail Disney is interesting, because she’s super rich and a social activist. Like she thinks she and other billionaires need to be taxed more. She has a PhD, makes documentaries, is big on women’s rights, and even renounced her shares of profits from a company that has a factory in the West Bank (for ethical reasons). Abigail seems like the kind of person who would be on Taylor’s side and at the very least, not give Sc**ter a chance to profit off Taylor’s work.

So all of this was weird to me back in November, when we heard about it. Then I heard Ivy, and wondered if there was a connection.

“Clover blooms in the fields” – Shamrock literally means “young clover.“ 

"Spring breaks loose, the time is near / What would he do if he found us out?” – Maybe a deal between Taylor and Shamrock will be announced in the spring. Maybe the “he” is Sc**ter– maybe the reason nothing makes sense right now is because Taylor is trying to catch Sc**ter by surprise, so he can’t foil her plans again. More on this later.

“Crescent moon, coast is clear” – There’s a new moon on March 13th. Meaning there will be a waxing crescent moon from March 14th to March 20th. This coincides with the Ides of March (Spade riddle) and St. Patrick’s Day (shamrocks). Hmm.

“Spring breaks loose, but so does fear / He’s gonna burn this house to the ground” – Could the house be the Lover house? Where each room is an album? Is Taylor afraid that if Sc**ter finds out before her deal is finalized, he’ll ruin it?

Let’s think about the timing, for a minute. We know Taylor was in LA a lot last spring and summer. Shamrock’s office is in Burbank, an LA suburb. Spade left in July and Karlie got pregnant at some point in this timeframe. Idk if any of this is related, but that Spade riddle about the Ides of March haunts me. 9 months before March 15th is June 15th, which is right around the time Spade finished the THEY ARE FREE riddles. That’s also around the time we think Karlie got pregnant. Maybe this is all a coincidence, idk. 

Taylor posts about her masters on November 16th. Jerklie is also papped that day. On November 17th, Karlie confirms her pregnancy with a video. Evermore (and Ivy) come out a few weeks later. Again, just interesting how the timing aligned. 

November is ALSO when Kaylor’s PR gets weird. Taylor says Toe is WB in the LPSS, Karlie is pregnant and still stunting, Taylor is re-recording, we have no idea what’s going on.

To try to tie this all together… I wonder if Taylor is tricking us. Maybe there won’t be any re-recordings beyond Love Story, because she’s been working with Shamrock behind the scenes to oust Sc**ter. Maybe all the buzz she’s created about her re-recordings is to throw everyone off, including Sc**ter and all his people. Maybe this is why the All Knower account on Twitter is still up– because Taylor’s team is involved and feeding them the info they want to get out. Maybe this is why Taylor’s PR is weird– steer the conversation to “Toe is WB” etc. to give everyone something totally unrelated to her masters to talk about. Maybe this is why Karlie is still bearding– either to cover for Taylor or trick Sc**ter. Maybe the reason Taylor wouldn’t sign Sc**ter’s NDA is because she’s going to come for him the moment he’s not profiting off her masters.

Anyway, I know this is wild. I don’t expect this to happen, as much as I want it to. I only bring all this up because of the discussions tonight about whether the “masters case” is closed. I thought I was the only one who has been wondering if maybe it isn’t. Realistically though, I expect to be completely wrong.

Pro: I think I saw that all her albums were registered with copyright. Good theory though!

Taylor does not approve of this blog and propaganda

You wish, anon ...

on october 11th 2016 taylor went to the waverly inn for dinner with a few friends and (correct me if i’m wrong) that’s when we have determined that the All Part Of The Fucking Story tablecloth happened on account of the bodyguard from that night being snapped with a big folded white piece of paper in hand

and um so, i was looking up about the inn and get a load of the name of a nearby establishment:

St Tropez West Village....??

INTERNATIONAL GIVEAWAY.

Hi. So I can understand that being an international fan can suck. (I lived in Belgium and France for 19 months and missed the entirety of the Reputation US goodness.)

That being said, I understand my privilege of being a US Swiftie.

Being lucky enough to get one in Kansas City yesterday was incredible and I don’t need another one. I bought this one specifically for the purpose of shipping it to an international fan. (This is only for tumblr blogs//accounts)

TO ENTER:

JUST REBLOG. (please put in the tags if you are reblogging for exposure or not)

THIS GIVEAWAY WILL END ON AUGUST 31ST AT MIDNIGHT MST.

Reblog as many times as you would like I will use a random picker site to pick a winner.

(Depending on winner’s country and shipping costs you may have to pay for shipping. EX.. shipping to Europe is fairly cheap while shipping to Asia is a lot more expensive. And I am a poor college student with not the biggest budget.)

And that’s it! You don’t have to follow me or anything. I just want to help support international swifties.

Merci. :)

Damn. November 19th, 2018

This is the text Taylor sent to me on Monday, November 19th at 8:57am:

Scott,

I hope this finds you well. Since communication ran dry on our negotiations, I’ve done what I told you I would do and gone out exploring other options. Owning my masters was very important to me, but I’ve since realized that there are things that mean even more to me in the bigger picture. I had a choice whether to bet on my past or to bet on the future and I think knowing me, you can guess which one I chose. I also saw a rare opportunity to effect positive change for a lot of other artists with the leverage I have right now. I know you believe in the same things I do and I’d like to think you would be proud of what I’ve negotiated for in my deal. I wanted to tell you first that I’ll be signing with Lucian. I honestly truly cherish everything you and I have built together and I plan on saying so in my announcement of the new deal. What we accomplished together will be a lasting legacy and a case study on excellent partnerships, and may it continue. I still view you as a partner and friend and I hope you feel the same. Sending you a hug and my most sincere gratitude.

And SO much love,

Taylor

Gosh, Grey November for sure. My gosh. November 19th is haunted for real.

Fitting for her to release Red TV on that date.

“and that’s how you’ve changed the song all too well for me”

because we all need some positive thoughts, what's your favorite kaylor moment?

This pic! If you were not following back then, this was a Kaylor reunion after they had been apart for weeks. Both of their schedules were so busy and so public so we knew they had not seen each other for awhile. Then Taylor showed up in London at Karlie’s Fund Fair event. The photographer said this was when Taylor walked in, and the screeched when they saw each other. 🥰 We got lots of great pics that night!

ok idk if i got something but look at the saltbox house definition:

now look at the EP songs:

these songs have one premise but told various ways. for example, “august” and “betty” - they both relate to the love triangle but interpret them different ways. “august” is about longing and thinking you’re in love while in “betty” james just brushes it off as a summer mistake. or take “TLGAD” - its about rebekah but we just hear what the townspeople said about her we don’t hear her side. and this can go on with the others, i believe.

just like a saltbox house, these stories originate with a common theme but present themselves two different ways. one story in the back, two stories in the front.

Women Taylor Swift has dated or hooked up with

I haven’t seen a masterpost about all the women Taylor has dated/hooked up with, so I tried to compile one. Much of this is from kaylorevidence (see also kaylorevidence.com) who is a genius. ENORMOUS thanks also to the people who originally posted about this: @jennyboom21, @all-my-possessions, @tallcurlygirl, @karlitakloss, @taytaysbeard, @whaler13bg, @gaylorcastle, @karlieskupkake, larrienation aka @helplessgay, @svnshineswift (and everyone I’m forgetting! I’m sorry!). I’ve tried to credit every source but I’m sure I left some out so just let me know if so! In case links break, screenshots of almost everything are here.

Disclaimer: I’m sure this is riddled with errors! Repeat, I’m sure much of this is inaccurate (and furthermore it’s none of our business) but…curious minds 🤷. Some of the “sources” are laughable (The L Chat in particular) so take this with a grain or 10 of salt and do your own research too. I debated even posting this, but it seems like Tay is slowly coming out of the closet, so here we are…

According to @tallcurlygirl, these are the women Tay has dated/hooked up with:

Lacey [last name unknown] (2005)

Kelsey Morris (2005)

Emily Poe, fiddle player (aka Taymily) (2006-2007)

Claire Callaway, dancer (unknown when exactly. 2008 or 2009?)

Liz Huett, backup singer (unknown when exactly. 2008 or 2009?)

Kellie Pickler (unknown when exactly. 2009?)

Julianne Hough (late 2009-2010?)

Dianna Agron (aka Swiftgron) (2011-2013)

Karlie Kloss (aka Kaylor) (2013-present)

More detail on each one below…
