I Can't !!!!!!!!!!!!

Eureka!(?) 🤔

“ ♠️ You and I became us and we. There we stood, no frets to be. My hand in yours, our hearts intwined. The sound it came, in slow pitched waves. Higher and higher, deep fears it raised. Reaching an amplitude, a crack it made. Hold me close, hold me tight. This glass castle will shatter tonight. - 12/04/2019 ”

OMG!!! I think this riddle talks about the baby!!! This seems to explain their story!!! 😮 👭🏼♥️👶🏼

"You (KK) and I (Tay) became us (Kaylor/👭🏼) and we (Swift-Kloss family/👭🏼👶🏼)”.

“There we stood, no frets to be. My hand in yours, our hearts intwined.” -> This’s the description of the development of their relationship. “There we stood, no frets to be” = They started out as friends and, little by little, they realized that it wasn’t just friendship; “My hand in yours” (for me, the act of ‘holding hands’ is extremely significant. You normally hold the hands of someone close to you… Someone you trust) = They’ve become a couple; “our hearts intwined” = They’re married.

“The sound it came” = ultrasound/baby; “in slow pitched waves” = The decision to raise their family, to have a baby, was something very well planned and probably for years.

“Higher and higher, deep fears it raised” = This is kind of self-explanatory. Imagine the panic it must be, you have to think, every day, until the end of your life, about someone else’s safety. YOUR CHILD!!! (For those here who are parents, congratulations! YOU’RE INCREDIBLY BOLD!)

“Reaching an amplitude” = for most people, this is the greatest achievement of your life… you’ve the love between you and your partner, personified in a little person; “a crack it made” = as many have said here, this baby is the one who will make them reveal their relationship to the world.

“Hold me close, hold me tight” = sums up their feeling/situation, through this long journey they’ve been facing. As difficult and scary as it’s, they continue to keep the other standing. Always together.

“This glass castle will shatter tonight” = When the decision to actually have a child, to raise the Swift-Kloss family, was made(the day of the decision), they finally found the end point for their “glass closet”. That child is what will get them out of the “glass castle” they’ve lived in the past few years.

That’s it!!! I think spades revealed to us that little Swift-Kloss was coming more than a year before we knew that Kar’s pregnant.

👭🏼♥️👶🏼

p.s .: And I only had this epiphany because I was rereading the ♠’s riddles to answer that anon who was talking about the ellipse in the clue “They are free” (@spade-riddles ). And by the way, here’s my thoughts on that. And now, perhaps, the baby is the “Fervent Revolution”.

For me, the ellipse represents time. I believe that something big will happen in Taylor’s career (Fervent Revolution); then they’ll probably take a break. Taylor will be silent for a few days, waiting for the first furore of the news to calm down (…); and then, finally, Taylor will explain everything that happened/Or Tay will let people find out on their own (Exonerate Everyone).

A more in depth analysis of my theory that Peace is from both Taylor and Karlie’s perspective. The bold is Taylor speaking, the normal text is Karlie and the italicized is my own interpretation. :) Hope you like it! I’ll maybe add pictures to another post later. 

Our coming-of-age has come and gone

In reference to the golden Kaylor age of glass closeting in the public eye 2014 - 2016 (I say 2016 but you could tell she was starting to want to hide then, Taylor) 

Suddenly this summer, it’s clear

Cruel Summer reference for me like the summer her gives her clarity it’s been cruel. 

I never had the courage of my convictions

and she never leaves well enough alone think of kissgate aftermath and 2016 another cruel summer mess

As long as danger is near

And it’s just around the corner, darlin’

Taylor sings “darlin’” alot on Lover so that is partially why I think she’s speaking this part. 

‘Cause it lives in me

Taylor always thinks “who could live with this” the drama of her life and the danger of not being safe to live in the closet or out of it. Dual meaning. 

No, I could never give you peace

This is what they are both saying to each other throughout the song. 

- Taylor

“But I’m a fire and I'll keep your brittle heart warm

Call it what you want ‘(s)he built a fire to keep me warm. So kk builds the fires. 

If your cascade, ocean wave blues come

Taylor speaks alot about her blues from reputation to folklore that she suffers from depression or sadness waves. Karlie is saying if your blues come again I will build the fire with my heart. I think they both suffer from this as most people do but I picture Karlie the one saying no matter what I will take care of you in sadness. 

All these people think love’s for show

But I would die for you in secret

I think this is reference to Taylor’s fans. If Karlie, God Forbid, were to die right now no one would know she’s the love of Taylors life unless Taylor said something. She would sacrifice herself in secret for Taylor. This is the deepest line to me. She (Karlie) is referencing Taylor’s fanbase they freak out over a like from a man on Instagram everyone thinks it’s for show but she would die for her in secret.

The devil’s in the details, but you got a friend in me

The details being the Easter Eggs to Kaylors and the drudgery of stunting. The devil is in the details of her public persona and Taylor’s public persona. ‘you got a friend in me’ is my favorite line! I think about Karlie’s tweet that she will always have Taylor’s back and then the line from ‘It’s Nice to Have a Friend’ - ‘have my back, yeah, everyday, it’s nice to have a friend’. Then Karlie is saying ‘you have a friend in me!’ in Peace. 

Would it be enough if I could never give you peace?”

They both are vowing this to each other it’s beautiful.

- Karlie

Your integrity makes me seem small - T

I think this line could either be T or K. Taylor in the 2015 era of Calvin and Karlie maybe wanting to be free. The opposite goes for Karlie now and Taylor. Karlie seems to be the one to feel like her ‘integrity’ is compromised because she is associated with a K*shner in America right now. Taylor can’t and won’t associate with Karlie right now in the public sphere because of this. 

You paint dreamscapes on the wall - K

Taylor has been painting dreamscapes since rep era. I think this line is like them musing about their habits when they were together in Taylor’s pre-rep phase. Taylor even painted the dreamscapes in the cardigan music video. Also Taylor is saying “you” then the next line is “I”. 

I talk shit with my friends, it’s like I’m wasting your honor -T

I think this line could apply to either of them again. They both feel like they are wasting away the other’s promise to each other because they are closeted. In the public sphere they both worry they are wasting the others honor.

And you know that I’d swing with you for the fences - K

Baseball reference Karlie loves Baseball (me too girl). 

Sit with you in the trenches - T

Ok, I think this is T because she references her grandfather in epiphany in the trenches. She is her grandfather’s granddaughter. A James to her Betty reference if you will. She would sit in the trenches with K. Which is essentially what’s happening right now. They are in the trenches. 

Give you my wild -K

This line reminds me of ‘maybe you ran with the wolves and refused to settle down’ is definitely about Karlie!!! Also the atticus book that the anon told me about, 

give you a child -T

I think this one could be either of them again. It’s a suggestion. As the song goes on I see it as they are starting to both cut to the chase and talking directly to each other like their fears are coming out one on top of the other.

Give you the silence that only comes when two people understand each other - T

Taylor sings about silence on YAIL ‘you can hear it in the silence’ the silence on Cornelia Street when you can hear it literally at the end of the song. Taylor is saying the silence is comfortable they completely understand each other and their love in the silence.

Family that I chose, now that I see your brother as my brother

Is it enough? - K

Taylor in that one instagram post where she says ‘when your friends feel like family’ is with her Austin and Karlie. I’ll post it if I find it. This one line has really helped I think us see the whole song from Karlie’s perspective too. 

But there’s robbers to the east, clowns to the west - T

But the people who come for us will be coming for us and I can’t guarantee the peace of all the drama. That comes with her public brand.

I’d give you my sunshine, give you my best - K

Sunshine is Karlie. Periodt. She will try her best always for T. 

But the rain is always gonna come if you’re standin’ with me - T

I like that it ends with this line before the chorus again. It started with Taylor and ended with her. It’s always a fear of hers that the rain is going to come and scare away her true love she’s so scared of it being a ‘dealbreaker’ in her relationships. At the end though it feels like they are both standing in the rain staring up. Like as long as you know the rain is going to come when you’re standing with me and you choose that for yourself, then we will be fine. I think it ends on a positive note. That is generally is a happy beautiful song sounds like vows to me. 

Does she really mean all 10 of us? 😂

We’ll see if the 2022/green (freedom) vibes come to fruition, I suppose.

If you don’t mind reaching, the emojis might also be interpreted as something like..

It was all love until something mind blowing happens worth 2 red exclamation points (like Jerklie and toe breakups?) then there’s a reunion (high five) and it’s all sparkly love.

The good old days...

#KaylorDeepDive because I'm not sleepy yet.

im sorry what???!!! 👀

did we know it was the exact same one??!!!

👀🤯

Just saw Miss Americana, was not prepared..

So did anyone else notice the girl with the red nails sitting in the exact spot in Miss Americana?? Taylor was sitting on the floor right next to her too and she also had red nails...

I cant get a screenshot off netflix.

Can anyone get the part im talking about?

nvm I found it

hi there. I don't know if this means anything, but I thought it was interesting. I was curious about the phrase "sensual politics," so I googled it. the top (and basically only) result that appears is a book, Claude Cahun: A Sensual Politics of Photography. anyway, it's about her "life as an artist and writer, a woman and lesbian and as a political activist in the early twentieth century." aside from her approach to art, I found some other interesting stories about her and recommend a search!

google.com

Overlooked No More: Claude Cahun, Whose Photographs Explored Gender and Sexuality

Society generally considered women to be women and men to be men in early-20th-century France. Cahun’s work protested gender and sexual norm

Oh wow 😳 very interesting. I looked up her work and it’s very intriguing... this article is a good place to start. It wouldn’t surprise me given Taylor’s history with Loie Fuller.

dwoht, cruel summer and peace supremacy

Most of the Renegade lyrics link back to songs on reputation through evermore, but there is one linking back to 1989’s New Romantics (bJ) which has one of the most under the radar stanzas ever!

Like how is she going to say “we team up then switch sides” in one breath and then “the rumors are terrible and cruel but honey most of them are true” in the next and NO ONE SAYS A DAMN THING ABOUT IT?! 🤯💀

I switched teams too… when I was 22! 😂
