The Sparkly Lavendar Purple Goo That Keeps Taylor Swift Alive, A Hypothesis 🧐:

You will meet people who will teach you love in its safest and purest form.

okay you know that one game you’d play on the playground with friends where one person was designated as the “watcher” and everyone had to move around when the watcher wasn’t looking, and freeze if they were? and if the watcher caught you moving you were out of the game?

please rb for sample size 💔💔

Why is it important to not talk publicly about who or what [your songs are] about?

The Thrills Theory

disclaimer: this is my personal take on it. feel free to add onto this theory if i’ve missed anything!

so… has Karlie Kloss already heard 1989 tv? could Thrills be a vault track? was her attendance at the eras tour planned by taylor and herself?

4/21: Karlie posts this on twitter

“thrills 💙🎧🔁” -> blue heart emoji (blue = 1989), all blue outfit, headphones & loop emojis… could Thrills possibly be a vault track on 1989 Taylor’s Version?

8/9: Taylor announces 1989 TV on the last show of the 1st US leg of the Eras Tour

she reveals the release date to be 10/27, the same release date as 1989 (stolen version).

8/9: Karlie attends this show

this is the first (public) Kaylor interaction in 6 years. here she is seen happily taking pictures with fans. Reminder, she was a very important figure during the 1989 era.

189 days: between Karlie’s tweet & 1989 TV’s release date

it’s just too perfect to be a coincidence.

3/2014: the Big Sur road trip 🌼

Karlie and Taylor took this infamous road trip, which was pretty much the birth place of some of the most popular kaylor references/theories.

Big Sur… by… The Thrills…

this is what pops up on google… a song called Big Sur… by a band called The Thrills… interesting.

3/2014: Big Sur & 1989

on their California road trip, taylor showed 1989 (stolen version) to Karlie. she was the first person to hear the album in its entirety.

is history repeating itself? was Karlie Kloss the first person to hear 1989 (taylor’s version)? is Thrills a vault track? why do so many things line up? what does it all mean? so. many. questions.

The most unserious tour

Thoughts on Anti-Hero on the Eras Tour

I’ve noticed something when watching the midnights set from one of the LA shows (disclaimer, I’ve not actually been to a live show of this tour yet so all my observations are from other people’s videos).

Before going into her final song, Taylor ends her performance of Anti Hero with this pose which was immediately familiar to me as the famous Matilda pose from the poster for Matilda the Musical. The head position and even the light from the back…? I’ve seen that musical a ton of times but even if you haven’t I’d say it’s quite the resemblance.

So if Taylor is in fact referencing Matilda here, what is she saying? If you haven’t seen the show (or the film), this pose is from a song called ‘Naughty’ where Matilda tells the audience that even when you’re a child you can change your story by taking charge of your narrative and not playing by the rules. She ends the song in this pose while she sings the final lines which are:

‘But nobody else is gonna put it right for me,

Nobody but me is gonna change my story,

Sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty.’

So, if this is a deliberate Matilda pose, my interpretation would be that, like Matilda, Taylor is taking charge of her public narrative and is changing her story to show herself authentically. No more perfect princess stories. Naughty also references Romeo and Juliet and Cinderella, both also mentioned in Taylor’s songs, and emphasises how they were just victims of their ‘stupid fate’ and if they’d changed their story maybe they would have lived happily. So bottom line: the people in the story can take charge and change the ending. You don’t need a fairy godmother, you can be your own hero. Very Taylor to end a song called Anti Hero with such a defiant hero pose 😉

Another thing I noticed that solidified that thought for me, is that the giant Taylor on the screen visuals balls her hands into fists and yells at where Taylor is standing performing before she turns and screams at the audience.

I’ve never actually seen a video of the full screen visuals during this number, because people tend to film Taylor walking around on stage which is ironic, because I think it is exactly the point she’s trying to make that we’re all too distracted by the glittery performance to notice the giant screaming in the background.

That’s my (rather long) rambling on the Anti Hero performance. And that was just one song, I swear, when I get to see the full show, I’ll have pages of notes! Sorry (not sorry) 🤭
