Connecting The Dots...

this cements it for me. the two sides of her!!

so The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived is for SURE about so many things, like scooter braun, scot swift, the music industry at large, her fans, etc. but. what about taylor talking to herself? she is The Man after all. so what about True Queer Taylor talking to Public Persona Taylor? i need to sleep but!!

bro...hold on...shes also referencing the failed coming out of 2019. and has been ever since folklore. lover came out in august. 'august slipped away like a bottle of wine cuz you were never mine'...going insane. she tells the story of her life through love songs bc she knows thats the only way to get & keep people's attention. 'I'm still trying everything To keep you looking at me'

You said some things that I can't unabsorb

You turned me into an idea of sorts

You needed me, but you needed drugs more

And I couldn't watch it happen

I changed into goddesses, villains and fools

Changed plans and lovers and outfits and rules

All to outrun my desertion of you

And you just watched it

this play was about us. how the public viewed the ME! and 'you need to calm down' songs & music videos. she gave so many signs. she tried to tell us a million little times. she reinvented herself over and over to try and make us see. some of us did, most of her fans and the world at large didn't. now shes burning all her past lives. shes going to come out and destroy everything she built in the name of being her true self.

the more i listen to TTPD the more convinced I become shes not talking about being in love in any of the songs at all & all the references to muses are just red herrings for fans to look past, & shes really just talking about her relationship with the music industry & her fanbase

A fortnight passed, and just like Taylor, I surprise you with a double room!✌🏻🤍

The Tortured Poets officially moved into their Department. 🪶 If you wanna tear these rooms apart, I'll just watch it happen. 📜 They aren't mine anymore! 🌑

"We hereby conduct this post mortem." -Why? Oh, 'cause she's dead! (REP) Oh my goodness, I feel something is coming, I'm not prepared!

and in the death of her reputation she felt truly alive…

she’s up✌️something isn’t she?

Fucking exactly 😂

The thing that is striking me the most about this album is just how messy and human it is. She’s not holding anything back or trying to appear one way or another. She’s just letting it all out regardless of what anyone might say. She found that trying to be polished and keep all the ugly, imperfect, human stuff in to be stifling and just said fuck it I need to do this for me. This album was an exorcism for her.

The people saying that TTPD is so boring because it "sounds just like midnights" are absolutely wild to me because how dare an artist make more than one album that's the sane style.

Oh, wait....

okok. so ive been compiling this since the first video came out promoting ttpd. i noticed the lights on the ceiling, and knowing taylor loves numerology, decided to look into it. walk with me.

so, first: there are 3 ceiling lights off, and 19 total. 3 19. march 19 was the opening day of the eras tour.

there are 7 lights on, 3 off, then 9 on. 7 9. july 9. which is mentioned in last kiss. which mentions the time 1:58, nearly 2am. taylor used 2 imagery a lot to promote this album, then released the second half of the album at 2 am.

the lights at the far end of the hall ceiling have 5 on the left, 4 right. 5/4. tolerate it & closure have 5/4 beat which is often broken into sub groups of 3+2 or 2+3. these beats are said to be 'unique' and stand out. this numerology also calls back to the exile ends countdown of 3, 2 from the bejeweled video.

left row of lights has 10, right row has 9. 10/9. release date of 'the 1' single

7 lights on, 3 off, 9 on. 739. i searched 739 taylor swift & i got a few things:

1. a link to a website called taylorpictures & it directs to pics from the VS 2014 fashion show

2. a cosmopolitan article that mentions the '739 celebrity cameos' (which includes a certain blonde model)

3. life size cardboard cutouts of taylor wearing specific outfits:

the dress on the left was the one she wore to a billboards award ceremony during lover era and sang 'ME!'

the one on the right was also from lover era and looks like the dress from the fortnight mv

739 is also a manifestation number:

the right row of lights has 8 on and 1 off. 8 1. august 1.

going back to earlier, the 1:58 reference. 15 8. check this out:

i'm not sure what all this means for sure, but i know 'none of it was accidental'. i'm gonna keep my eyes out for what happens august 15.
