all queer history on here is just US-American or maybe sometimes some UK history as well and it makes me sad that thereâs so little information about other countriesâ queer history on here :(
Reblog this if Taylor can trust you
god i still canât get over how sheâs wearing the vsfs ring during this clip
***Pro: If you read this crazy long theory and think I might be on to something, I donât mind if you wait to post this. I donât know what blogs Sc00terâs team looks at and I definitely donât want to jeopardize any plans. Or I might be delusional, so Iâll trust your judgement!***
Yesterday I started thinking about what Taylor and Karlie want. Like whatâs their end game, here? Why are they still bearding and perpetuating the feud narrative and hiding? If theyâre together, theyâre not doing all this because itâs fun or easy. So I worked backwardsâ I theorized some things Kaylor might want at the end of all this, and thought about what they would need to do to achieve those goals. I came up with an interesting theory.Â
Taylor wants to own all of her music. It seems like she also wants to stop the games and hiding and secrecyâ see Daylight, the willow music video, and a lot of rep-era lyrics and imagery. If she was happy in the closet, I would expect her music to reflect that. It doesnât. I think she also wants all of these men to stop ruining her plans. I get the impression from Mad Woman, Cowboy Like Me, her statements re: her masters, and Spadeâs âfervent revolution exonerates everyoneâ message that Taylor wants to expose something big in the music industry. I think she wants to tell the truth, which is (imo) that she planned on coming out in 2019 and Sc00ter tried to profit off her sexuality, which forced her back in the closet. Maybe thereâs more. But basically, she must want the option (at least) of telling her story, otherwise she could have signed that crazy NDA.
So if these are Taylorâs goals, how does she achieve them? And how does she protect herself and Karlie from retaliation from Sc00ter? Sc00ter is manipulative and well connected. If he can sabotage Taylor or Karlieâs plans, he will. Karlie is not managed by him anymore, so she is free professionally-speaking (this happened in or after November 2019, after Tâs masters were sold). But Karlie is still tied to Sc00ter through Jerk, so Taylor canât make any moves until the Jerklie contract is up. Then Sc00ter wonât have any power over Karlie. And the moment Taylor releases her old albums, Sc00ter loses most of his power over her. So first, there needs to be a Jerklie divorce, to prevent Sc00ter from retaliating as revenge (again).
I think a lot could happen very quickly after a divorce announcement. Taylor can release her re-recorded music. She could come out at the same time, if she wanted. It would probably boost sales, tbh. She can stay with Toe for safety if she comes out as bi or pan. And as soon as she comes out, she can tell the world what Sc00ter did to herâ how he forced her back into the closet, and how he used her friend, Karlie (who was still being managed by him at the time), against her. How he manipulated her and tried to screw her over any chance he had. Itâll be the truth, and it will NOT be a good look for Sc00ter. This is the âfervent revolutionâ and Karlie is exonerated in the processâ itâll be made clear that she didnât betray Taylor, and that was just the narrative Sc00ter pushed. This gets Taylor her music, fewer games (she can keep Toe until sheâs ready, but she can be seen with her âfriendâ Karlie in the meantime), freedom from Sc00ter, and the karma she craves.
So, if Taylor canât re-release her music until Jerklie splits, why is Karlie STILL with him? Couldnât they have divorced by now? Karlie was going to be tied to Sc00ter no matter what until her management contract was upâ which was November 2019 at the earliest. So yeah, a divorce could have happened at that point or any time after. I wonder if Karlie offered to extend her contract with Jerk to try to stay on Sc00terâs good side. Maybe she damaged her own reputation by staying with Jerk through the election so maybe, just maybe, Sc00ter would be willing to negotiate with Taylor in good faith (âshe cut herself so I could be wholeâ from Spade). It didnât work, but she couldnât have known that in July 2019, if thatâs when Karlie decided to extend the contract. She tried.Â
Itâs also possible that Karlie extended the contract as a way to keep Sc00ter from interfering with their plans. What would have happened if Jerklie divorced, Karlie was publicly single, Taylor wasnât allowed to re-record yet, and Sc00ter started pushing all these rumors that Taylor isnât straight? Heâs a snake. We know he wouldnât hesitate to write article after article about the âsapphic themesâ in Taylorâs earlier albums, to make people listen to them again so he could make more money. Inevitably he would connect Karlie to Reputation. Once again, Sc00ter would be manipulating Kaylor for his gain. He would be dictating the narrative. Heâd have no reason to sell Taylor her masters. Heâd be profiting off rumors about Taylorâs sexuality.
But what if Karlie was still tied to Jerk? Jerk is Sc00terâs client, and heâs obsessive about his image. Sc00ter couldnât do anything that might hurt Jerk. If he tried to out Taylor, he would end up outing Karlie, too. He would need Karlie to sell the âTaylor is not straightâ narrativeâ there isnât enough Swiftgron or Taymily evidence. I donât think Jerk wanted his âmarriageâ scrutinizedâ people might realize heâs gay. Or, having a bisexual wife might not be a good look in the conservative business world. Karlie staying with Jerk longer meant Sc00ter wasnât able to spread rumors to profit off of Taylorâs work before she could re-record. Maybe they assumed Sc00ter wouldnât do anything in good faith, so Karlie damaged her reputation to protect Taylor from Sc00ter for the 16-ish months before she could start re-recording.
I think itâs a good sign that we didnât see Jerk in December and that Taylor seems to be re-recording as quickly as she can. There are so many moving parts and things that could go wrong, so I donât think theyâre going to give Jerk or Sc00ter or anyone a chance to wreck their plans again. Theyâre going to move fast, and then the internet can go crazy while theyâre offline with their new baby. I imagine Jerklie will divorce because they were separated/seeing other people over the summer, Karlie got pregnant with some guy in California, she and Jerk tried to work it out, but ultimately he couldnât raise a baby that wasnât his. Something like thatâ Jerk will insist on being the âgood guyâ of course, and Karlie will insist on making it clear her child isnât a K*shner. Publicly, Karlie is a new, single mom and she and Taylor are friends again. Maybe Taylor has Karlie and the baby move in so she can help out Karlie in her time of need. And then maybe Karlie and the baby just donât move out. :) I thinkkkk this theory accounts for most of the craziness that weâre seeing and gives all parties the end games they want (except for Sc00ter, eff him).

Pro: This is a great theory. I think it explains a bit of the craziness that is happening right now. I do think Karlie made a sacrifice along the way. I donât think Scoobs would expose Tay as not being straight. He would in turn be exposing jerk as well who is more powerful than Scoobs.Â
I bolded the parts I think are important to remember.Â

Taylor and Karlie at Terminal 5
Things that I find suspicious about Toe and I don't understand how the hets don't:
1) Why she didn't used his voice in the intro of London Boy? It would have been cute if they were real.
2) "I'm New York City, you're the West Village" Does Toe has an apartment there that we don't know about?
3) "Magnetic field being a little too strong" have they never seen and interview of this guy? He is not magnetic at all, he is plain and boring and even a little uptight.
4) He hasn't post anything about folklore, an album he supposedly wrote and produced, why?
im adding number 5
5) if toe lived with his parents until taylor and toe (supposedly) moved in together for the first time somewhere in the UK, who the f*ck was taylor living with on cornelia street?
Alright! Here it is! I made this for my girlfriend to understand my theories, but some of you wanted to see it so Iâll share it here!Â
The rest is under the cut!
