Promise me this That you'll stand by me forever
(It's the original lyrics. But still cute with the - in the video missing - "promise me this" look into Karl's direction)
I am so glad that they are back together after their "friends break".
“As far as I know, they chatted afterwards and made plans to see each other in the future." So we got "Midnights". Then the "3am Edition". Then the "Til Dawn Edition". And now I see daylight! 🌞
1989 (& Reputation & TS1) Era(s), we are ready! 💙
Swifties were left baffled after Taylor Swift’s former bestie, Karlie Kloss, was spotted in the stands during the “Bad Blood” artist’s last night of her Eras Tour stop in Los Angeles, despite rumors of a falling out between the two. But an insider exclusively tells Life & Style that the ladies are now “on good terms.”
“Taylor and Karlie never confirmed or denied they weren’t friends anymore so to see Karlie at her concert was a beautiful gift that everyone was happy to witness,” the source says just hours after the supermodel, 31, was seen at SoFi stadium on Wednesday, August 9. “The last time they were seen together was in 2018 so clearly something must have happened. And Taylor didn’t go to her wedding either, she was on tour in Australia at the time. Apparently it wasn’t a major falling out, they were just on a ‘friends break.’”
The source close to Taylor, 33, added, “We might never know the real reason, but whatever their differences were, that’s all water under the bridge now.”
Swifties were quick to take note of Karlie’s seats, which were in the upper bowl as opposed to the VIP tent where many other celebs have been spotted. However, the insider revealed that “Taylor was very happy to see Karlie at the show.”
“As far as I know, they chatted afterwards and made plans to see each other in the future,” they continued. “Bottom line, they’re on good terms again and the Swifties are loving it.”
That's so cute, the way she always looked in Karlie's direction.
Think about the good times, you and I. 🥹 Now we get to relive them again!

... I just woke up to this 😭 Am I still dreaming? 🥹
No matter how many times she said that this song is about Jack and Lena... 🤷 #Kaylor
How strange that VOGUE wasn't allowed to focus on Kaylor for more than a day. So she performed this song on the same day that VOGUE took down the legendary "Kaylor best best friends" video. They also removed the snippet they posted for Karlie's birthday the day before.
Pauses, then says / You're my best friend / And you knew what it was / (S)He is in love
Taylor, You Are In Love, August 4th
All of the girls you loved before (ooh) Made you the one I've fallen for
I'm so thankful for All of the girls you loved before But I love you more I love you more I love you more ❤️❤️❤️

February 2015: Oscar de la Renta fashion show. Swift, giggly in the front row with Kloss, declined to comment on her presence at the show. “My publicist would get mad at me,” she said.

Who was the youngest person to win a Grammy?" "Taylor?" - Lily Aldridge "It's actually Karlie." 😳 - Lily "Oh, you're right. You were right!" "Oh, did Karlie win a Grammy?" - Lily

Did Karlie win a Grammy? What's the answer to this question in 2023...? 😜
I once believed love would be Black and white But it's golden, like daylight I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you
"Daylight" - Minneapolis - June 24, 2023
You gotta step into the daylight and let it go Just let it go, let it go 🌞 🌞 🌞
Taylor looks really happy!
„I’m 33 years old, I don’t care about anything that happened to me when I was 19 [years old], except the songs I wrote and the memories we made together. So what I’m trying to tell you is, that I am not putting this album out so that you can go and like should feel the need to defend me on the internet against someone you think I might have written a song about 14 billion years ago. I do not care, we have all grown up. We’re good.“ - Taylor Swift
Taylor's speech before singing Dear John.. calling out toxic fan behavior!
"Do the girls back home touch you like I do?"
"Not a chance." (x)
Isn't it delicate? 🦒 (Delicate Giraffe pattern)
And I snuck in through the garden gate. Every night that summer just to seal my fate.

April 11 + 10 weeks = We get a 2019 LOVER Kaylor song as 2023 Radio Single. That's so romantic! 🥹
of course 😬
(Pandemic) We all needed our methods of escapism, and that was one of mine. I just kind of needed to create, not just an album, but... folklore was a state of mind for me. It was like... In my imagination, I could just escape to this sort of wooden cabin, in the middle of the forest, and I could just pretend like what was happening wasn't really happening. So that was basically the first step, was envisioning this album, and so it kind of became this imaginary vacation spot I would go in my head, you know?
(See post by @badgalazzie) The cabin where Kaylor stayed on their Big Sur trip
The folklore cabin is located at a vacation spot. 💜 🥹

Transcript by cages-boxes-hunters-foxes. "So we have brought the folklore cabin to Detroit! So folklore, folklore is an album that I started writing about two days into the pandemic. I just, we all needed our methods of escapism, and that was one of mine. I just kind of needed to create, not just an album, but folklore was a state of mind for me. In my imagination, I could just escape to this sort of wooden cabin, in the middle of the forest, and I could just pretend like what was happening wasn't really happening. So that was basically the first step, was envisioning this album, and so it kind of became this imaginary vacation spot to go in my head, you know? And when I was writing these songs, I also kind of took a little vacation from the way that I usually write. I usually write about something I have personally gone through, and exactly how I felt about that, you know? So it was kind of fun to be able to write an album and sort of be like, 'Okay, maybe with this one, we'll sort of fictionalize it a little bit. I'll create characters. I can name them different things, and maybe we can have these different story arcs.' And there are a few songs that go together. There's this like, teenage love triangle threesome arc. And so I. created a story between those three characters, and you know, when I would try to come up with names, it was just easiest for me to pull names from my real life, so the names that were actually named after real people that I love very much were James, Inez, and Betty!"

people are still surprised at how far taylor could go when referencing karlie, when she literally made a king of my heart puzzle with 252 pieces on november 25, 2018, which counts exactly 252 days to karlie's birthday. (x) || Woooow! 😮 🖤 👑 🥹
Is this the end of all the endings? Reputation puzzle.

„The thing about Karlie is that she’s very tall like an elephant or a giraffe or a very, very high ceiling. You really have trouble getting through doors that are low. You walked the Victoria’s Secret show the other day and you looked like a fairy butterfly.” (Taylor Swift)
"I salute you." "I find the artifacts, cried over a hat. Cursed" STOPS. "One second. I will not mess this bridge up." [Bridge...] "Bet I could still melt your world, argumentative, antithetical dream girl. Woooooh!"
Taylor's smile during this performance! It hits different. 🥹

I used to switch out these Kens, I'd just ghost. Rip the Band-Aid off and skip town like an asshole outlaw. W Mag posted an article about Taylor being in her sandal era!? Interesting.
Have you seen the Barbie Movie Trailer?
What do I have to do? - You have to go to the real world. You can go back to your regular life (high heel), or you can know the truth about the universe (sandal). Taylor is on her way to "the real world". THE TRUTH!

Girl in Red + Taylor Swift ERAS TOUR 2023
Taylor about Girl in Red:
„Then we actually have a really important thing happening tonight, which is that it is the first show of the tour that Girl in Red opened up. I absolutely love her. Give it up for Girl in Red. And I tell you that I know every single word to every single song on her album. She is one of my favorite artists. I am so happy she has joined the tour.“
Girl in Red about Taylor:
„This song that I'm gonna play for you right now. She said this is my most listened song to this year. And I was like 'oh my god'. And I sent her my screenshots of like the Spotify wrapped and I was like this is of course your music is on top, Folklore f*cking love Folklore. Anyways, I don't wanna start debates with all the albums and stuff but anyways, she said she really liked this song. Here it comes. This is S-s-s Serotonin.“
„Okay, so by hearing playing these two songs you should know by now, raging lesbian. Last night was my first show on the Eras Tour. And it totally went over my head that of course filling I was playing during pride month. But OGT Taylor Swift, she made sure she... that I was gonna be here for that one, which is a very Taylor thing, I think.“
That's so... [fill in the gap.] Taylor's Pride Month gift to herself is a gift to everyone in the LGBT+ community. Thank you, Taylor. 🌈
"Invisible String" lyrics: Bold was the waitress on our three-year trip. Getting lunch down by the lakes.
Taylor about her song "The lakes" (2020): "I think THE LAKES sort of sounds like a testament of what I’ve wanted to escape from and where I saw myself escaping. We’d gone to the Lake District in England a couple years ago [...]"
"on our three years trip" (by the lakes) + "a couple of years ago" = connected?!
There's no way Joe+Taylor celebrated their three year anniversary "a couple of years ago" in 2020. (2016 + 3 = 2019. It would have been a year ago.)
Who was pictured at a lake in 2017? (2020 - 3 = 2017)
Taylor+Karlie and two loving swans. ❤️
Full speech about "The lakes" in "Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions". Why does she even have a "cottage backup plan"? 🤔👇
"I think “the lakes” sort of sounds like a testament of what I’ve wanted to escape from and where I saw myself escaping. We’d gone to the Lake District in England a couple years ago — In the 19th century, you had a lot of poets, like William Wordsworth and John Keats would spend a lot of time there. There was a poet district, these artists moved there were kind of heckled for it and made fun of for it as being these eccentrics and these kind of odd artists who decided that they just wanted to live there. I remember when we went, I thought, “Man, I could see this. You live in a cottage and you’ve got wisteria growing up the outside of it. Of course they escaped like that, of course they would do that.” And they had their own community of other artists who had done the same thing. In my career, since I was probably about 20, written about this sort of cottage backup plan that I have. “the lakes” is really talking a lot about relating to people who, hundreds of years ago, had the same exit plan and did it. I went to William Wordsworth’s grave, just sat there and I was like, “Wow, you went and did it, you just did it. You just went away and you kept writing, but you didn’t subscribe to the things that were killing you.” And that’s really the overarching thing that I felt when I was writing folklore is, I may not be able to go to the Lakes right now, or to go anywhere, but I’m going there in my head, and this escape plan is working. I thought [this song] would be the perfect way to slot the last puzzle piece in, right when people least expected it. Because “hoax” as the ending song for the record, I thought was interesting for a couple weeks, but then I wanted to actually come in with the real last song of the record, which is “the lakes”, that’s kind of the overarching theme of the whole album, of trying to escape, having something you wanna protect, trying to protect your own sanity, and saying, “Look, they did this hundreds of years ago. I’m not the first person who’s felt this way, they did this.”
"I love Chicago. I love, I love, I love the people." 🥹
I'm setting off, but not without my muse No, not without you
Taylor's intro before performing The Lakes :
You know people have asked why, like how I choose songs for this section. And it's a very imprecise science. And sometimes it's really simple like this (?) - I was thinking about this weekend I really love Chicago. I LOVE Chicago. I love, I love, I love the people. I love the crowds. It's like it's always such a great vibe when we go there. And it's so cool they have lakes near there. (...) So uh.. I'm gonna play this one.
„[...] I’m seeing so many incredible individuals who are living authentically and beautifully and this is a safe space for you. [...] This is a celebratory space for you and one of the things that makes me feel so prideful is getting to be with you and watching you interact with each other. [...] I love you guys so much. Happy Pride month, I just adore you.“
Happy Pride Month! 🏳️🌈
Full Pride Speech 👇
First things first, happy Pride Month, everyone! On this tour, I get to look out into the most stunningly beautiful, brilliant crowds of people who are living their authentic lives. They are loving who they want to love, they are identifying how they identify, and allies who get to support them in and celebrate them in that. It’s the most beautiful experience for me to look out into the crowds on this tour, I’m looking out tonight, I’m seeing so many incredible individuals who are living authentically and beautifully and this is a safe space for you. This is a celebratory space for you and one of the things that makes me feel so prideful is getting to be with you and watching you interact with each other, being so loving and so thoughtful and so caring and so being with you during pride month, getting to sing the words to ‘You Need To Calm Down’ where there are lyrics like “can you just not step on his gown?” or “shade never made anybody less gay”, and you guys are screaming those lyrics in such solidarity, in such support of one another, in such encouraging, beautiful acceptance and peace and safety and I wish that every place was safe and beautiful for people in the lgbtq community, I really wish that. Cause we can’t talk about pride month without talking about pain. Right now, and recently and in the recent years there have been so many harmful pieces of legislation that have put people in the lgbtq community at risk. It’s painful for everyone, every ally, every loved one, every person in these communities and thats why I’m always posting this is when the midterms are, this is when these important key primaries are, cause we can support as much as we want during pride month, but if we’re not doing our research on these elected officials, are they advocates? are they allies? are they protectors of equality? Do I want to vote for them? I love you guys so much. Happy Pride month, I just adore you. I really do.
