Forgive me if this has already been discussed but... have we considered that the “facade” could be Jerklie’s relationship?
Rumors started (deliberately) swirling in the press in November 2012 that KK and JK were dating.
Us Weekly 11/8/12:
Daily Mail 11/27/12:
Four years later, KK implied she met JK in June 2012. So we are supposed to gather their “relationship” started sometime between June and November 2012.
Was Spade trying to tell us Jerklie’s contract ends in 2022? And that’s why Taylor dropped some random references to ‘22’? (There is some debate about how long a decade actually is but at least one definition fits with this timeline).
There’s this from an Entertainment Weekly video in the Lover era (5/9/19). Right before she does this she is talking about the palm trees she posted on IG when she finished Lover. She says “A palm try symbolizes rebirth, new beginnings, positive energy. So...” *precedes to sort of randomly/awkwardly throw two “peace” signs up before the video cuts to the next topic.
Taylor later referenced ‘22’ with freaking lavender icing in her hair (4/27/20).
Now I bet there have been a million pivots behind the scenes so even if this was what Spade was trying to convey, it may not mean anything now. And the implications of KK potentially signing on two a two year contract ending in the midst of a potential second Trump term are complicated.
All I really know is that Taylor will be releasing her version of Red on 11/19/21. And she made sure to remind us the album resembles a heartbroken person before referencing a friend who calls in the middle of the night to talk about their ex..

In the Look what you made me do video she wears a very Dusty Springfield look in the moment she is bossing around and lead dances eight very obviously gay guys that represent her beards. This beards are represented in other Rep era videos too usually faceless.

This make one think about the whole picture…. https://terri9274.tumblr.com/post/169486564319
I think this is enough for a starter pack if you are new to all this just explore around the Gaylor communities in Reddit, Tumblr, TikTok, Twitter, etc to find more and there’s a Gaylor Discord if you wanna join just ask.
so you know how the main Lame Guy from the ME! mv is clearly supposed to be a caricature of skint poor cheater… well now i’m thinkin about how you can read almost all of that song as a fuck you to him
e.g. “I know I never think before I jump / And you’re the kind of guy the ladies want” as a direct throwback to the final chorus of fifteen when she says “Cause when you’re fifteen and somebody tells you they love you / You’re gonna believe them. / And when you’re fifteen, don’t forget to look before you fall” — just in general i’ve been listening to fifteen a lot lately and reading it through the lens of her signing her contract with sc*tt and bmr at 15. so we have this idea of being a young girl with big dreams of making it as a singer (“when all you wanted was to be wanted”), and because all the ladies want for a producer or music executive or whatever to notice them, when he says you’re gonna be a star, kid, you’ll trust him enough to not think before you jump / look before you fall. and like… “I never think before I jump” has always been kind of weird for her to say about herself now because 30-year-old taylor is the queen of meticulously planning everything, but if you consider her thinking about 15-year-old taylor + “wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now” … it’s a reflection on the naivete of her youth, and it’s a warning [cut to her vogue 73 questions interview where her advice to young artists was “get a good lawyer”]
and then of course we have “But one of these things is not like the others / Like a rainbow with all of the colors / Baby doll, when it comes to a L♡VER / I promise that you’ll never find another like ME!”
when you think about the fact that big machine records IS taylor swift, and that Lover is her first album that is not with bmr and that they won’t be able to profit off of, and the fact that they’ve obviously been searching for The Next Taylor Swift™ for years but haven’t been able to find one because there is no one else like her… it just makes so much sense??? honestly i like it so much more now reading it this way bc tbh thinking about these lines in the context of a romantic relationship is Not The Healthiest Outlook. but her saying fuck you sc*tt, you’ll never get another one of my albums, you’ll never find another taylor swift… OKAY MISS SWIFT!!!!!! GO OFF!!!
AND add on top of that, all of this is because “one of these things is not like the others / like a rainbow with all of the colors” i.e. she’s gay and all you misogynistic homophobic assholes kept her closeted for literally half her life in order to make more money off her, so let’s make it CLEAR that THIS is why you fucking lost her, and why when it comes to a songwriting juggernaut who cranks out record-breaking albums like she was fucking born for it, you’ll never find another like her.
also sidenote, calling a man who has objectified and belittled and controlled you for years “babydoll” as a dig at his clearly very fragile masculinity? POWERFUL.
i mean i should probably mention the apparently necessary disclaimer that songs can be about many things at the same time and ME! is still overall a lighthearted gay bop that’s mainly meant to be about positivity, and taylor singing “babydoll” is still very gay and cute when you take the sc*tt angle out of it, but there is absolutely an undercurrent throughout it of this being a direct response to the whole bmr debacle.
Even in the way she talked about it in interviews, saying it’s a song “that reinforces the fact that we’re different, and obviously there are a lot of songs about ‘I’m special,’ but I hadn’t heard one recently that was about ‘I’m special because of who I am’” … this distinction of I’m special because of who I am really resonates if you think about her losing her masters, i.e. the thing that made her special and Valuable to all the lame guys out there, (and if you think about this alongside her speech at the Time 100 Gala where she talks about how specifically writers have the power to turn their lessons into their legacy), she’s reiterating the idea that it’s not the recordings she’s created in the past or all her awards or success or whatever that made her special, it’s not the fact that some man ~discovered~ her 15 years ago that made her special—she is special because of who she is, because of her goddamn mind and this ability to write that she has inside her, and that is something that no one can ever take away from her.
tl;dr i’m a ME! stan now thanks for coming to my tay talk
New Kaylors- PLEASE LISTEN TO ME!
Pun unintended.
Do not, and I repeat, do not listen to TTB. I am a seasoned Kaylor, and I can assure you, you will fare far better if you avoid her blog entirely. Trust me, I am speaking from experience.
I have been a Kaylor for years and it was only a couple of months back when Taylor said she was “advocat[ing] for a community [she] was not a part of” (that damn article) when the spell wore off and I realized that I had been buying into something non-existent for ages.
Now before I go any further, I would like to clarify my stance on Kaylor. I think it’s dead, and that they’ve broken up. I wish it wasn’t so, but it would seem that their love story has met a bitter end. I still think that they dated, or at least had something special sometime from 1989 into Reputation, but it has become increasingly apparent that they are no longer close.
For years, I would repost TTB’s asks on my IG page, I would reblog her posts, I would send her asks. I bought her, and what’s more I bought into Spade (will discuss Spade later). I was a total fan, I thought of her as the queen of Kaylors, our ultimate treasure and resource.
I was wrong.
For starters, she is unnecessarily rude towards Joe. I mean, personally, I don’t trust Joshua Kushner as far as I can throw him (I don’t trust any Kushner, and I’ve been feeling kind of distant towards Karlie on account of this association, and other factors), and I don’t really like Joe, nor do I dislike him (”it isn’t love, it isn’t hate, it’s just indifference”) but Joe doesn’t have any criminal ties. Joe isn’t related to one of the biggest crime families in America. Joe is an actor from England (however he is a Pisces, so I don’t know, he could be way more sinister than I thought) and I just don’t think that we need to harbor such negative feelings towards him. There are better, more Kaylor-y ways we could be spending our time, like by streaming DWOHT or making cute Kaylor edits and then hyping up each other’s Kaylor edits. She scribbled over his face when posting a picture of him on her blog, and the reason given for that behavior was that she didn’t want him gaining publicity or exposure from her blog (which she is allegedly convinced Taylor herself frequents, take note of the word ‘allegedly’). I mean, pretty sure all of the Kaylors would be familiar with Joe anyway, given his connection to Taylor, so I am not sure what she gains by being so adamant about him not receiving any publicity from her blog.
Secondly, and this is something I want to place great emphasis on here. Taylor is not coming out, not anytime soon, anyway, or at least, I don’t think so, but I don’t have a confidential source to consolidate this information for me, so I don’t know. She could pull an Evelyn Hugo (highly recommend the Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid by the way, sooooooo many Kaylor parallels and just overall a great book) and release details about her relationships and sexuality when she’s retired, but Taylor is not coming out in an edition of Rolling Stone, not now, I don’t think. And if you think Karlie will be, well, I’d like to direct you to her Instagram page. By the way, if you’re also upset about her affiliations with Scooter and Joshua, just unfollow her, it works wonders. Commenting won’t do anything, in fact it probably just pleases Scooter to know how many fans of Taylor’s are irked by Karlie’s connection to him, because that’s just the kind of sick, disgusting man he is.
And speaking of those two, Kaylor is over. Well, I think so anyway. Kaylor is honestly speculation, no matter how much there is to suggest it’s real, and I don’t know Taylor or Karlie personally, so do not take this as fact. I don’t have any secret sources who send me riddles or private info, I’m just going off of what I see and hear. I mean, Taylor could be making out with Karlie right now, or Taylor could be on the dark web trying to take a hit out on her. The point is, we know nothing, no matter how much we wish we did.
Furthermore, let’s get into the main reason why TTB is so popular: Spade. Spade is her… I don’t know. At first, I thought he was a godsend, but once I stopped buying into her posts, I realised how nonsensical it seemed that some high-up representative of Taylor or Karlie would be communicating with this one Kaylor account feeding it tidbits of information about what would be one of the most confidential relationships in Hollywood. I mean, there are multiple Kaylor accounts that have a significant following- so why just TTB if this is a representative of one of the girls? Why not reach out to multiple big blogs if you want to The most logical explanation would be that Spade is TTB’s own creation that she uses to garner interest in her blog and further her own agenda. A more reach-y, though not totally implausible theory is that Spade, or even TTB herself (she gives very little information about her actual line of work) is a low-level employee of Team Klossy, or an intern over there, who uses Kaylor as a way of retaining some of Karlie’s fans, given that many are mad at her over the Scooter thing (because TTB is not the only Kaylor account that claims to have sources), but I doubt it. The point is, Spade is a farce. Spade predominantly (pretty much exclusively) messages TTB in the form of cryptic riddles, which, with a little shuffling, pretty much go along with whatever yarn TTB is spinning that week. And then on top of that, there are allegedly “private messages” between her and Spade that contain secrets she isn’t allowed to divulge. Okay? It’s cult-ish, almost, the enigmatic Spade and the glorious TTB who heralds his messages about the mysterious complexities of Kaylor through apocryphal missives. Biblical, is it not? It makes you feel special, like you hold secrets that others are not privy too, and it is a marvelous, truly euphoric feeling.
The main reason I’m writing this isn’t because I have some personal vendetta against TTB. I’m writing this because I know that the majority of Kaylor shippers are (mostly young, some are older) gay women, a lot of whom did not come from particularly supportive homes, who seek solace and comfort in knowing that a woman they admire and look up to is just like them and knows what they’re experiencing, just like myself. People who find happiness in the queer subtext of Taylor’s albums and in there being a community that’s dedicated to the loving pairing of two women. It’s not about fetishism (by the way, for any non-Kaylors reading this, please stop throwing that word around every time you come across a Kaylor) nor projecting nor sexualization, it’s about love and support and comfort, and in some cases discovery, because I know that Kaylor helped me realise my identity and I know it did for others too. And quite frankly, I don’t think it’s fair that TTB spouts stuff she knows is garbage when she is aware of this large demographic of Kaylors. And that’s the reason for this post, because I don’t want some other, young, naive Kaylor falling into the same trap I did where they take her word as gospel only to feel deflated and humiliated when they wake up and realise they’ve been buying into utter fantasies.
And no, I am not saying that TTB is solely responsible for this. As I mentioned I was naive and desperate to believe, and Taylor herself didn’t exactly dissipate rumors, especially during the YNTCD rollout but personally, her actions feel quite manipulative. She keeps telling her readers that Kaylor is still alive and the contracts are over and it is not good, not for anyone’s mental health, especially those deeply invested in Kaylor, to keep buying into it. I don’t know why she keeps pushing Kaylor, maybe she’s too proud to let it go or maybe she’s hoping to generate enough engagement to start collecting ad revenue, I genuinely don’t know what she gains by beating this dead horse, but I have reason to believe it is nothing admirable. Hope and optimism is admirable yes, but not when it turns into naivete and desperation.
This ire is not directed at any of the other Kaylors, just her and the way she proudly peddles these lies, knowing of all of the hopeful Kaylors out there who are being lulled into a false sense of security. I implore you, please try to look at her page objectively and look at what she posts. The secret messaging, the cryptic codes. I know when you’re right there, taking it all in, how exciting it feels to know something that not everyone else does, to see all of the little ways Karlie and Taylor communicate- but please just try to look at it from an objective point-of-view.
Now, this part, I cannot confirm all of the tales, so please do not take this as fact because I could be very wrong about this statement, but I have seen screenshots of various messages and heard of some terrible stories about her bullying, and attacking anyone who criticizes her with disturbing levels of vitriol and malice. Former Kaylors, current Kaylors and Toe shippers have all shared screenshots or stories of her being awfully vicious towards people, and I just don’t believe that the Kaylor community, a place of support and care for those who might not receive it at home, should be tolerable of such aggravated behavior. She even came after @thetaylorfiles at one point, a blogger who has always respectfully critiqued some of the more whimsical aspects of her blog and the enigma that is Spade, which was uncalled for and rude.
Again, this isn’t some spiteful attack on TTB, this is a heartfelt plea to all of the new Kaylors who are in the same position as I was, please try not to listen. I know it is tempting and it sounds convincing and damn, is she persuasive, but it is a lie. She is a fraud, and what’s more, it has been made abundantly clear that she does not care. For someone that speaks so highly of their own maturity and rationale when engaged in combat with someone, her willingness to lure people, particularly new Kaylors who haven’t found their feet yet, to me is gross. I can’t tell if she knows she is belaboring the continued existence of Kaylor and enjoys her notoriety too much to acknowledge the truth or if she is genuinely still under the impression that Taylor and Karlie are still together, if it is the latter, fine, maybe she’ll learn one day. If it is the former, then I can safely say that I have no respect for her. People look up to her. People admire her. People worship her. And if she is truly willing to drag those people along, then there is nothing more to say.
Now, before I close off, I would like to reiterate that, this is my opinion. This is the experience of a big Kaylor, who, just like most other Kaylors that frequent Tumblr, listened to and loved TTB. But then the spell ended. Because that is exactly what this is. It’s a spell. It’s an illusion. You can wear a mask and dance the night away at a masquerade ball, but eventually, all that dancing will make the mask fall right off. And for me, that mask fell off. Once it did, I felt sad, embarrassed even, that I had let myself fall into this myriad of deceit. And once again, I will clarify that I am not implying that TTB was solely responsible for this. Nobody would ever be convinced of the existence of Kaylor by just one blog alone, Taylor and Karlie’s actions were obviously the driving force, but she went along with the exact same sins that she condemned Taylor and Karlie for. Enforcing an illusion. Playing a long game of charades. TTB is by no means the only Kaylor blog out there that claims to have “sources”, but she is one of the biggest and most unrelenting Kaylors out there, which is why I would
Now, if you’ve read this and you still want to take a gander at her page, or, if I have unintentionally increased her viewership, please just keep this in the back of your mind. I have nothing to gain, and I have nothing to lose. I have no personal grudge against TTB, I have never had an unpleasant interaction with her. But please, I implore you, do not fall into the same trap I did. Be objective, be reasonable and keep your wits about you.

Oh, and, word to the wise, you may hear whisperings of a blogger named Enty, who runs “Crazy Days and Nights”. I recommend steering clear of Enty too, his story changes with the tide.
And by the way, this is in no way an attack on anyone who reads or believes in her stuff, I am not saying anyone here is stupid for doing so and I am not trying to make anyone who believes in her feel bad, because I used to do it to. I just want to encourage objective thinking at the very least, if I cannot dissuade people from reading her blog.
Do you ever think about how in Taylor’s widely-recognized pro-LGBTQ+ song You Need to Calm Down, she included a very significant line that says “Shade never made anybody less gay”? (x) Do you ever think about how Taylor is a master with word-play and in exclaiming gay and shade, she is not only saying shade (as in homophobia and hatred targeted at members of the community) cannot diminish someone’s gayness, but also that the metaphorical shade from being closeted doesn’t diminish someone’s gayness either, that not being out doesn’t make anyone any less gay
Or about how in The Archer she sings “I’ve got a hundred thrown-out speeches I almost said to you” (could this perhaps be coming out speeches?) and “They see right through. Can you see right through me? I see right through me”?
Or about how in Daylight, she ends the album Lover with, “You gotta step into the daylight and let it go”?
Or do you ever think about Taylor has publicly recognized the delicacy surrounding coming out? How in her 2018 pride speech before Delicate, Taylor prefaced the song acknowledging this saying, “I want to send my love and respect to everybody who in their journey and in their life hasn’t yet felt comfortable enough to come out ... and may you do that on your own time and may we end up with a world where everyone can live and love equally and no one has to be afraid to say how they feel”?
Do you ever think about any of that? Because I do a looooot.
deuxmoi posted a blind about an a list singer expecting but not announcing anytime soon cause she’s all about hiding it rn. And the sender called themselves Big Ben, maybe alluding to London. Which makes me think it could be T, idk.. especially bc of the big ben thing.
Taylor is referred to as A+ list on other sites. I don’t follow that Instagram so I am not familiar with their usage.

I can't dare to dream about you anymore
Now you try on calling me baby like trying on clothes
Sorry for not making you my center fold

Now she's hiding in a closet. Now she's locked in that closet.
Forgive me if this has already been discussed but... have we considered that the “facade” could be Jerklie’s relationship?
Rumors started (deliberately) swirling in the press in November 2012 that KK and JK were dating.
Us Weekly 11/8/12:
Daily Mail 11/27/12:
Four years later, KK implied she met JK in June 2012. So we are supposed to gather their “relationship” started sometime between June and November 2012.
Was Spade trying to tell us Jerklie’s contract ends in 2022? And that’s why Taylor dropped some random references to ‘22’? (There is some debate about how long a decade actually is but at least one definition fits with this timeline).
There’s this from an Entertainment Weekly video in the Lover era (5/9/19). Right before she does this she is talking about the palm trees she posted on IG when she finished Lover. She says “A palm try symbolizes rebirth, new beginnings, positive energy. So...” *precedes to sort of randomly/awkwardly throw two “peace” signs up before the video cuts to the next topic.
Taylor later referenced ‘22’ with freaking lavender icing in her hair (4/27/20).
Now I bet there have been a million pivots behind the scenes so even if this was what Spade was trying to convey, it may not mean anything now. And the implications of KK potentially signing on two a two year contract ending in the midst of a potential second Trump term are complicated.
All I really know is that Taylor will be releasing her version of Red on 11/19/21. And she made sure to remind us the album resembles a heartbroken person before referencing a friend who calls in the middle of the night to talk about their ex..
