sometimes i think people on the fence should ask themselves, what’s stopping you from seeing how possible kaylor is? if the answer is that it would mean taylor won’t come out in the way you’d hoped or that she’s not dating the way that you’d like or the person that you’d like, or it conflicts with your internet friendships or Take consistency well i dunno about everybody else but i think that’s more of a you problem than a kaylor problem
The Gold / Invisible String in Bejeweled mv?
Ok i got to re-watching Bejeweled to start my weekend, and idk if this is intentional but i love how when the prince's portrait was shown, a white thread (not gold/yellow) was also in the shot:
Which is the contrast to the (golden) invisible string string shown in Willow, which ofc we already know had a callback here at the beginning of the Bejeweled music video:
The "Gold" that she followed here was when the golden pocket watch appeared in front of her. "Exile expires in 3.. 2.." leading to a Golden elevator, which takes her to each floor, different eras. (Eras tour egg? also does this mean speak now will be released before the tour..)
On her journey after following the "Gold" she stops at the 5th floor (1989 era / 2014) and meets a woman.. (which also reminds me of the fishbowl scene/blue room in the lover house)
As already mentioned by people before, the scene with the cocktail drinks, might be a callback to Delicate's lyrics:
This ain't for the best / My reputation's never been worse, so / You must like me for me / We can't make any promises / Now can we, babe? / But you can make me a drink
Oh, damn, never seen that color blue
But let's not forget that Delicate also connects to Invisible string's lyric!
Delicate (2017):
Dive bar on the East Side, where you at? / Phone lights up my nightstand in the black / Come here; you can meet me in the back
Invisible String (2020):
A string that pulled me / Out of all the wrong arms right into that dive bar / Something wrapped all of my past mistakes in barbed wire / Chains around my demons, wool to brave the seasons / One single thread of gold tied me to you
So yeah, to summarize, she met her "Gold" / Invisible String at a Delicate time during the (pre) 1989 era?
☝️ Listen to the "So it goes..." 1, 2, 3 snippet
Who's counting? (One, two, three) And all the pieces fall. Right into place. Getting caught up in a moment. Lipstick on your face. So it goes. I'm yours to keep. And I'm yours to lose. You know I'm not a bad girl. But I do bad things with you. So it goes.

Am I the only one still thinking about Karlie's 1,2,3...? 🤔
Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die. I don’t belong, and my beloved, neither do you.
Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry. I’m setting off, but not without my muse.
I want auroras and sad prose. I want to watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet, ‘cause I haven't moved in years. And I want you right here.
A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground with no one around to tweet it. I bathe in cliffside pools with my calamitous love and insurmountable grief.

No, not without you🖤

"She truly believes whatever is meant to be, will be, and knows everything happens for a reason"...
This speech is interesting... very interesting. Yeah, she's The Mastermind. 😏
The amount of Swifties defending Joe’s alleged insecurity over Taylor’s fame is too damn high. They say it’s rude to speculate and believe gossip and rumors and to just leave the man alone. I would, of course, agree with this.
But we see the hypocrisy there, right? We know the rumors they did choose to believe, and the woman they still to this day will not leave alone…right?
Why in this world are we so quick to defend an [allegedly] straight white man who couldn’t handle his girlfriend’s success, and why are we so quick to condemn a self-made business woman like Karlie who has been nothing but supportive and respectful to Taylor all along? Why is that the priority? I know I’m not the first to point this out, but I just can’t wrap my head around feeling so moved to come out in his defense almost in favor of the patriarchy—on the Taylor Swift subreddit no less.
“Don’t use her as a pawn against the patriarchy” as if Taylor would not LOVE that (and as if she hasn’t orchestrated these “rumors” about Joe being insecure about her success). Taylor didn’t write FUCK THE PATRIARCHY into ATW10 for you all to defend Joe Oatmilk Alwyn.
Oh, I can't
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland
My house of stone, your ivy grows
And now I'm covered in you…
the exact cabin where kaylor stayed on their big sur trip and cabin from ivy lyric video
I'm not crying, you're crying! https://twitter.com/kaylortruther/status/1648672673029914626
This is amazingggg, that cabin looks exactly like the folklore cabin!
Yes! It’s cute that newbies are finding this again. The Kaylore of it all. Great thread 🤍
Also I think this to myself all the time but, Karlie never gets to tell her side of anything, she just takes everything that comes her way. At least Taylor has a release through music. Imagine that must be hard on a person after a while.
I think we need to revisit this poem now that Taylor is free. Any of you smart, analytical people want to give this another look:
I saw that Met post you posted and I never saw that article of Karlie. So what’s the actual story because Karlie said that they did meet in 2011 and talked about baking at Met Gala but I thought they always went with the story that they met at VSFS. Did they talk at Met but then didn’t hang out again until VSFS?
Previous post + (Link to the article of Karlie mentioning meeting Tay at the Met)
That's what i'm curious about too anon! I'm not entirely sure why they pushed the narrative of officially meeting at the VSFS 2013. Maybe someday we'll know exactly why. Maybe their Met Gala 2011 meeting was not the right time bc one (or both) of them were already in a relationship.. maybe they did stay in contact and was friendly with each other even before VSFS. Iirc, there was a rep secret session thing where taylor talks about how her and "joe" got together? (Not sure if these are the exact screenshots, i just googled it quickly)
"Later on, they met up again but things turned romantic" - hence maybe why they emphasized on VSFS '13? 😊 I feel like Taylor was talking about her actual history with Karlie here. Joe has always been the Karlie stand-in, the fact that Toe's "first meeting" was at the Met??? Mimicking Kaylor's first actual (recorded) meeting at the Met Gala 2011? And then the "next time they met things turned romantic" mimicking Kaylor's "official" meeting at VSFS?? None of it was accidental.🤭
Y’all I’m dying!!!
She really just said “I’m going to infuse my emotions into these characters. Pfft let’s be honest.” Before performing betty
I am loving every second of this tour lol
On 4th December 2014, Taylor and Karlie attended The 1975’s concert at Terminal 5 in New York (accompanied by Lily Aldridge, Martha Hunt, the Haim sisters and, for a short while, Josh Kushner.) This evening, which plausibly was intended to establish a public frame of reference for Taylor’s subsequent relationship with Matt Healy — the groundwork for which was being laid throughout November (see: here , here and here) — became notorious, when video was posted online purporting to show (an obviously inebriated) Taylor kissing Karlie.
Over the course of the same evening a total of 146 posts were liked by Taylor’s tumblr account. Notably, 26 of these concerned her relationship with Karlie, of which 13 were photos and/or gifs of their appearance together at VSFS on 2nd December. They are as follows below:
[NB: ‘likes’ generally related to Karlie are (in the process of being) collected here.]

the great war | tampa night 2
listen all that I’m saying is that I’m having heart palpitations over taylor saying let the games begin on october 21 2018 and releasing midnights on october 21 2022 because NONE OF IT was accidental. none of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
accidental kaylor
So ur telling me Taylor was flew straight to NYC from Liverpool where she was filming a mv and OF ALL THE PLACES SHE COULDVE GONE she specifically chose a place that’s a) in the West Village, b) 1 block away from Stonewall, and c) 3 blocks away from Cornelia St where just a day before swifties were acting like a bunch of immature children????? Not to mention this is her first outing of this sort in YEARS???? Seems like she’s trying to send a message idk
Taylor is known to pay attention to the smallest details to send the right message. Is it possible that the message she wants to send our way completely went over our heads?
Let’s talk about the END GAME video. She laid out multiple tells about an unspoken truth for people to assume, but what if she also gave us the end of her game of hide and go seek with her most precious easter egg, her truth.
Both eyes on her.
There’s an undeniable theme that Reputation exhumes: A love so dark yet pure that she cannot resist but to bask in.
Now, let’s digest the two scenes so we could better understand how relevant this is to the narrative so far.
There are two things the two subjects in the back has in common:
Being a figure of darkness; both are observed as being covered in black. Why is this relevant? Darkness is a tool for concealment. The absence of light provides an unbeatable cover for the truth. Calculated movements, unnoticed touches, stolen glances and hidden truth all dwell in the dark shadows of night. This affair is a secret.
Here are lyrics to support this:
“Our secret moments in a crowded room
They got no idea about me and you(…)
Everyone thinks that they know us
But they know nothing about—…”
“Something happened for the first time
In the darkest little paradise”
They are both looking at her. Regardless of ones reason or intention to stare, one thing is undeniable, there is an underlying need; an unspoken wanting. Her lover wants her as much as she does. The whole album makes us aware of how intense the attraction Taylor feels for her lover and the silent gaze proves that the attraction is mutual.
Generally, cats are perceived as fluffy, adorable, silly and sometimes grumpy animals. But that isn’t what Taylor wants us to see. She specifically chosen a BLACK CAT to stand in as her lover in the dark.
A simple google search will give you an idea of a Black Cat’s Reputation: Superstition, prejudice, bringer of good or bad luck.
Superstition - a widely held but unjustified belief in supernatural causation leading to certain consequences. of an action or event, or a practice based on such a belief.
Prejudice - preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience.
Given these definitions, we arrive to an understanding that their affair is hidden because of people’s unjustified beliefs and preconceived opinions about their love.
But, what’s beautiful is that the black cat also symbolizes that Taylor is aware that choosing to be with her lover can either help her reach the pinnacle of success or cause her to lose her balance and succumb to her downfall. Good luck or bad luck.
And she still took the risk.
See you in the dark
She hid her in plain sight,
She used a cat to make us wonder.
Now we see her in the light,
We see that she is indeed her lover.
Come here, dressed in black now
Scratches down her back now
All eyes on you, my magician
All eyes on me,
Your illusionist.
P. S. The black cat’s eyes are green.

quite possibly the most devastating matchup of clips but what’s a girl to do here’s an example
karlie really said spring breaks loose, huh?
... Truman Show continued
After a moment of reflection, Truman utters his catchphrase: "In case I don't see you... good afternoon, good evening, and good night", bows to his audience and exits. The viewers celebrate his escape, and Sylvia races to greet him.
Taylor is being loud. Wow. She is really burning her artificial life down.
as another reddit user said,
This is good news but I can't help but be pessimistic. What are the chances she gets a new beard?
Who knows. She has an easy excuse to be single. Free after six years and busy on tour.
But I get your concern because we went from CH to Tom in a matter of days.
same energy (not really but kind of)
Taylor's last moment on stage. Behind her the mysterious door that came from above during "Karma". This reddit user points out that the moment is similar to The Truman show ending!
Truman is begged not to leave his life in the "fishbowl" behind - he's brought people joy and hope, and he has millions of fans counting on him. But he says his catchphrase one last time, stretches out his arms, and takes a final bow.
Taylor stands in front of the door and stretches out her arms to take a final bow before disappearing into the stage.
Truman makes the choice to leave behind the only life he's ever known -a life of comfort and safety, but ultimately a life of inauthenticity. He leaves for the unknown, for the unpredictable, for the chance at a real life. IF THAT WASN'T ENOUGH, before finding the door, Truman finds stairs leading up into the clouds. Sound familiar?
(Many have already pointed out that the ascent into the clouds also mirrors the cover for the lesbian magazine The Ladder - but perhaps there's a bit of both?)

Karlie has a photo from 6/30/2020 on her insta wearing a blouse exactly like the one Taylor is wearing in the photo where she is in the car with benji on her lap
oop 🤭 I remember us talking about this beige sweater back then bc taylor wore it then too I think (can’t find the pic atm)
The full cowboy like me performance
“Deownn”
Coincidentally, it had the bedroom and bathroom on the same floor as the LOVER house. And a similar attic, too?!
What was the conclusion in 2020!? And now!? Looking back, it looks like the prototype of the LOVER house. Unless we believe that Karlie plays with dolls and/or built a house, which 2.5 years later we still don't know about. If she's sleeping on someone else's couch, that's still a weird coincidence.
