So I know that people are reading into Karlie's seat because it's Karlie. But didn't other celeb guests sit in the bleachers? I feel like Sadie Sink was in a similar seat as Karlie, but maybe that's incorrect?
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.
if anyone needs help right now, here are some resources.
if you need a counselor
another source for counseling
if you just need to breathe
if you’re thinking of hurting yourself
if you don’t feel safe in your home
if you’re a minor and being hurt
Don’t worry Bro , Black Tumblr got you and your Sister.✊🏿
Can we find her a donor please ✊🏿🙏🏿
So first, Taylor's current age is 31.
In All Too Well (The Short Film), Taylor highlights being 21 years old. Then, later in the film, we cut to 13 years later.
21 + 13 = 34 years old
ATW10 book release Taylor was 34 years old
Taylor also mentions in this interview that she actively sought to incentivize fans to read her lyrics with her coded messages. And that her lyrics, her words, are what she is most proud of in her career.
We've been seeing certain hints toward Speak Now as of late.
I must also remind you of this very important line from the Speak Now prologue. (I had this in a draft on November 1st and should've posted it then!)
Furthermore, I saw it suggested somewhere that the very title cards throughout the short film were chapter titles to ATW10 Taylor's book.
Long story short, I unabashedly in full clownery predict Taylor is planning on releasing a tell-all memoir like the ATW10 version of herself did. Furthermore, with the various Speak Now easter eggs we've seen lately, I also predict that Speak Now will be coming soon and that this "book millions might read someday" will be in our hands in about 3 years time
I believe this is something she's been planning for a while. And I can't wait to hear what she's been waiting to say!
NEW GAYLOR PSA
extra obligatory disclaimer: if you dont think kaylor happened, this isn't for you. if you think toe is without a shadow of a doubt real, this isn't for you. if you think they're still together, this isn't for you. happy for yall, honestly. this is just for new gaylors lost in the sauce with all the weird narratives going around. ALSO THIS IS JUST THE MOST OBVIOUS AND SIMPLE INTERPRETATION OF TAYLORS MUSIC. ENJOY HER ART AND WHAT SHE PERSONALLY SHARES WITH US AND DONT STALK HER FOR THE LOVE OF ALL GODDEN PLS ITS JUST FOR FUN JFC YOU CREEPS.
ok there are a lot of newbies here that are getting confused by the loud voices in the fandom. those voices are NOT the consensus. please don't think that they are. they just arent.
most of us have just kinda quieted down and chilled out bc we know what's actually going on.
but thats leaving newbies out to dry being confused by the actually RIDICULOUS theories going around rn. ofc you're getting confused and starting to buy toe. because gaylor vets arent explaining it to you.
(it's because we are all just a little over it, sadly to say)
Maybe I'll make a refuting timeline surrounding the Breakup. it sounds exhausting. for now if you're confused about anything specifically, feel free dm me.
TAYLOR IS GOING THROUGH A BREAK UP. I dont intend this to be mean but seriously - this is obvious as fuck. please just........listen to folkevermore. thank you.
taylor has officially gone in the closet, probably for good. it's sad but it's true. it's why we've all chilled out and gone quiet. PLEASE accept this. she isn't coming out. she doesn't want to anymore, at least not right now.
Taylor and Joe aren't real and have never been real and they haven't become real over time (although I do get wanting her to be happy). ok sure I can't know that. but I think if she IS in a relationship with Joe and she wrote those songs, it's a toxic BAD one we should NOT be celebrating (obviously I don't think this, he seems like a really nice person, pls don't misconstrue this). I don't care that she's involving him in her music, or how long it's been, or that she says his name now. HES A BEARD. thats the nature of their relationship and it always has been. she is just more sure he's her forever beard now. it is NOT sus that she involves him in her music. idk if he really has a part in it, I very much doubt it, but she clearly wants people to think he does. they clearly have a nice working relationship and he is GOOD for her reputation. also he keeps her solidly in the closet. see #2
Karlie is ..... just. not . ..... Not. a part of Taylor's life. so the baby doesn't matter. it ISNT Taylor's. idk whose it is, it doesn't really matter. THEY. ARE. BROKEN. UP. Please listen to Taylor's actual music.
(4.5?) There's gossip that karlie is settled down with a new gf now. if thats true, good for them I guess. whatever. who cares.
They broke up in the summer of 2019 for good. they probably broke up before that too, maybe even several times (but no they DIDNT break up for good in 2016 and dm me if you want an explanation lol). They had a very turbulent relationship. it's easy to idolize their relationship bc her music is just so good -- but we have to remember that taylor is looking through rose colored glasses. we are only hearing the folklore of their relationship. just because her songs about karlie are masterpieces doesn't mean they're soulmates. maybe they were bad for each other. I do think her new music kinda shows she is slowly seeing that, which I am so proud of her for. although it does seem like the baby really set her back but that's another sad conversation
the old gaylors are still around, giving her space to get over losing who she thought was her HOME and her FOREVER. that's, just, the kind of sadness you may never get over.
WE are also sad. of course it doesn't compare but many of us found solace through the picture of their relationship she painted through her songs. it was, it IS beautiful. they had something really special. we are mourning that for and with taylor. folkevermore is TRAGIC.
taylor swift is actually for the girls who were known but never popular, fit in with many friend groups but never in the group chats, talked to at school but never invited to the parties, for the girls who have friends but still feel lonely because they were never their best friends favorites
The New Year midnight is nearly upon us.
As we March into the sunset, 2022 is not the only thing that will expire at midnight.
A fresh page…a new chapter.
Au revoir, à bientôt en tournée.
---------
-I have a sneaky suspicion that Taylor will either perform in Times Square on NYE or she will drop the Lavender Haze music video (or both).
-Karlie and the devil's contract ends at midnight on December 31, 2022. This is consistent with all of the '22' signals about a 'divorce' and 'last client'.
This riddle fits:
♠️ The turn of the decade befalls the facade. - 11/09/2019
10 years - decade - of bearding (2012-2022)
-They may have a sunset clause from January 1 until March (hence the capital M on March). A sunset clause would mean no more stunting. Just financial payouts. Keep in mind that Thrive Capital always announces its "Fund" results in February. So he would not want a 'divorce' announced until the fund closes. Perhaps Karlie gets some financial payout for this in the sunset period since he always stunts hard with her at this time of year due to the 'fund' drive.
————-
@chickawah23 brought up a ♠️ riddle that fits with this line of thinking:
♠️ Ides of March, they say beware but prior till the day unveils, one or two may see right through, the nine that sit in its view. - 1/30/2020
What is beware the Ides of March?
in Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar," a warning given to Caesar about March 15, the day on which he was assassinated (= killed).
The beard is officially 'killed' and the one or two could be the two months between contract end date - December 31, and sunset clause end date - March).
-The last sentence [Goodbye, see you on tour] in French, could mean several things. First, 🏴 anon is going to the tour, too! Second, international tour dates are coming soon (hence the use of French language). Third, a good bye to us, and reminding us of the song Paris (which we believe is significant to Kaylor). Fourth, goodbye' to a beard.
----------
To be bigly optimistic: Taylor is performing on NYE and dropping Lavender Haze, Karlie is done with Jerk on December 31, 2022, and Taylor is dropping Toe ('goodbye) no later than March. There is no sunset clause. Rather, Kaylor walks into the sunset in March!
“As we March into the sunset”
They're not particularly a fan or a hater. Because of their job, they state that they're probably more exposed to Taylor's PR flow and the details of it than the average GP person, but less than the fans that consume it and go seek it out.
Here's what they think, from a "cool, detached, professional slash transactional standpoint" (quote):
Taylor Swift™ (the brand, which means Taylor and team. Whoever establishes the communication strategies and help build it in concrete visual coding, statements and appearances, etc) is very good at PR. "people that like or dislike the brand agree on that. Hell, that's the main reason many point out for their dislike. So good it's annoying. So much polished *genuine* that it feels fake".
She's been loud in supporting her causes in the past years. Feminism, acceptance of differences, fighting xenophobia, and loudest of them all, especially lately, her support of the lgbt+ community.
"The difference in the way she's doing it is fundamental." She's been placing herself amongst the queer community as she celebrates it. Repeatedly.
"In PR, there is one thing you can't get away with anymore. It's the I've Got This *** Friend strategy." You can't make yourself look cool and supportive of BLM just by hanging out with a dark skinned person and get ally cred. You will get torn down by backlash. You have to back it up with actions, and you have to shut up about it, so that it doesn't look like you're being supportive of something to get credit for it, that you're doing something good because your interest is how it will be a good reflection on your brand.
"Queer baiting might be a strategy to try to pull audience members and try to save a show, but considering the backlash that ensues, I wouldn't recommend it these days."
So their conclusion is this: Taylor knows much much better than that.
Yet she's being super super loud.
She's putting herself in the middle of it. "She's literally painting herself in it and with it." (in it, the videos, with it, the rainbow dresses and the hair colors)
"She's too smart to make a mistake like making herself the straight ally of the decade. Not this way where she IS being accused of baiting. So I must conclude that... She isn't. She's not baiting. She's messaging. And the message seems pretty darn clear to me."
.
So this is what they've said. The parts in italics are direct quotes they've allowed me to share and the rest is context and paraphrasing. I won't share more because they asked me not to. They would like to add this: "I'm straight. I'm what we're supposed to call middle aged. I don't particularly have an interest or investment on whether Taylor is or isn't queer, on whether she does or does not state it out loud. But working in a world where we spin stories, there are some that we don't like. The ones that cover up a closet rarely end well and always masquerade for someone's misery. Or some ones', plural. I can't deny how big an impact a coming out like hers would have if it's well handled. So. While I don't wish for her to go one way or another, I will be cheering loudly for her if she comes out. From a logical standpoint, I believe she's en route. From a more human one, hell yeah, my Spidey senses are tingling." (pause for giggles and discussion on whether Spidey senses should fall under strictly Human categorizing) "In any case, this little discussion dive into the Swift Tumblr PR Analysis Squad has been hilarious and inspiring. You think we're good? You should give yourselves a round of applause!"*
*can't say why they have referenced that we think they're good. But I'm allowed to point it out...
