okay but actually, she’s being very loud with this “forever is the sweetest con” chapter. loud about bearding and façades and being duplicitous. these songs allude to mirages of many kinds. (see also this great tag by @all-my-possessions). Let’s look at how:
cowboy like me (also re: this analysis)
I’ve got some tricks up my sleeve
Telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hear
Hustling for the good life
And the skeletons in both our closets plotted hard to fuck this up
Forever is the sweetest con
mirrorball:
I’ll show you every version of yourself tonight
Spinning in my highest heels, love, shining just for you
I can change everything about me to fit in
The masquerade revelers
I’ve never been a natural, all I do is try, try, try
evermore:
motion capture put me in a bad light
sending signals to be double-crossed
long story short:
Fatefully I tried to pick my battles ‘til the battle picked me
Misery like the war of words I shouted in my sleep
The knife cuts both ways
And I fell from the pedestal
Long story short, it was the wrong guy, now I’m all about you
And he’s passing by, rare as the glimmer of a comet in the sky
invisible string:
Gave me no compasses, gave me no signs.
Were there clues I didn’t see?
Cold was the steel of my axe to grind for the boys who broke my heart. Now I send their babies presents
willow:
Every bait and switch was a work of art
do you ever think about these specific things?
hey for the life of me i can’t find the pants but i’m pretty darn sure that’s an adidas track suit
don’t you think it works with this top?
like, same color same white piping
plus, the three stripes
so not only is it the same color scheme as this,
it’s also, you know, adidas brand 🙈🙈🙈
Me! // Lavender Haze // The Ladder (the first nationally distributed lesbian publication in the United States) // Lavender Haze tour visuals (web weavings)
And what about this red nail polish?!
Something big gonna happen bc this is fishy
First karlie only showing one eye...let the game begin
Yes the phrase "let the games begin" was created
The day she released ready for it?.
. Anyone who uses the phrase is because of Taylor swift #klues
📲| New TikTok from @taylorswift13
"I miss us 🥺" #AllIThinkAboutIsYou....
"I miss us 🥺" #AllIThinkAboutIsYou
Then Taylor use this song in which the title had two girl blond karlie and black Taylor when they first met there hair was this color.
Seven years in heaven....
I Wonder who she miss and think about if her boyfriend is with her.... Wtf
Things I think about
“Meet me in the afterglow.” - Taylor Swift
Maybe these 2 will come out next. 🤞🏼

So aside from this being one of my favorite moments on the album (I was not a swiftie when og fearless was first dropped so I’m late to the party on how fantastic this outro is), I’m surprised I haven’t seen anything about this (maybe I’m late on this too, but I’m surprised that this wouldn’t be some of gaylor 101 introductory evidence):
1) female pronoun that is not even couched in the “male POV” and
2) this parallel to an iconic sapphic interpretation of Tim McGraw?!?
This outro from Other Side Of The Door is a call back to TM and with its female pronoun it corroborates the theory that in Tim McGraw, Taylor isn’t listing memories (one night when she’s wearing a little black dress and another night when she is wearing a pair of jeans), but rather describing one single scene, where she is wearing blue jeans and resting her head on the chest of the other person (a girl), in a little black dress.
This is an important puzzle piece?!
dwoht, cruel summer and peace supremacy
But wait SR, what if, WHAT IF, KK attends SNL tomorrow because they actually met in the Red era and it’s the 13th! I will literally die, dead 💀 like my soul will leave my body, if she makes an appearance at the show or the after party.
C’Mon Taylor honor your vow and be over dramatic to commemorate the day you met your lover! 🥰 we have full faith in you!!!
