Note: idk if it's the actual handwriting of their names but i just saw this on twitter too**
I saw your 1989 rewatch post and i was wondering about your comment: the New York story still continues.
I think in this side of swiftie fandom we can agree new york is karlie. However, I have seen so many analysis and lyric parallels of New York symbolism as proof of a kaylor break up.
I believe kaylor is still together, but I am having a tough time with what new york means after folklore and evermore. “I left a part of me back in New York” “she still is 23 inside her fantasy,” all of coney island paint at not so great picture compare to the new york of Lover.
What are your thoughts?
Sorry in advance if this sounds like rambling
She is still in New York regardless of how sad the songs sound. The story is still tied to New York.
I think there is this weird thing we tend to do when Taylor writes a sad song. We automatically assume it’s about a romantic break up and I think that is a product of her old reputation, sadly.
I think Taylor recognizes love is a lot more complex than Romeo and Juliet and it comes with ups and downs. We saw this on Lover. Riding the highs and treading the lows but all the while just hoping to get back to mundanity and normality. I think Taylor realized the lows and the highs make for a more entertaining story so she takes snapshots and zooms in on specific feelings and moments from her past and explores the stories that can come from them with new perspectives.
I also believe Taylor has been singing about her own personal journey and her struggles with anxiety. As well as her choices that led to a specific place or point in time and fighting her own demons while worrying about how someone could love her with her flaws. These concepts were on Lover as well.
Folklore and evermore honestly feel like purgatory to me, if that makes sense. They exist in a pocket dimension where Taylor is wandering around an old abandon town with no choice but to reflect on her past. She is forced to face her demons. She can’t hide from her thoughts. And sooner or later she realizes that the only way out is through and maybe if requires leaving all the baggage behind because you can’t leave the same way you came in.
“You know I left a part of me back in New York” means exactly that: She left part of herself in New York. (She had to leave something behind but she didn’t want to).
Conclusion:
The story is still in New York. Just on the outskirts of town. Coney Island is still in New York. It’s in Brooklyn. She did her photoshoot for the albums in Upstate New York.
She’s still writing the story:
“If the story's over. Why am I still writing pages?” - DBATC
“Pages turn and stick to each other” - RWYLM
I’m sorry again if this was rambly.
Did anyone else think it was weird that Karlie was asked about what's in her bag and started talking about suitcases instead? Weren't we just talking about the suitcase in the WTNY Taymoji pack? And how WTNY was a love story hidden in a song about NY? It's funny because it's a suitcase Taymoji but Taylor actually sings "bags", not "suitcases". Maybe this was Karlie's way of confirming that anon was right, and the "we" and "our" in the song are Kaylor. I always thought it was a cute take!
@9w1ft is queen of Taymojis! Love that pack too. We were just talking about it!
announcing a re-recording in nashville, where big machine resides, is such a power move. I hope scooter braun and scott borchetta have a horrible night. get fucked.
Swifties won at the Grammys this year, let’s be honest
No post, just a very special gift-from Taylor Swift.
I know y’all were devastated as I am about being disappointed last August 4, 2017 where the most awaited birthday post from Taylor Swift to Karlie Kloss never dropped that shocked the hell out of everyone. Karlie didn’t seem to mind though:
Intruiging, what that special gift is. 😏😏😏

loving how karlie casually confirmed that the initials on the pavement in soho were in fact written for her —a rep era kaylor fan theory— in the same breath that she says that her husband carved them in there, when we have literal multiple timestamped photos that show how her initials had a TS next to them years before half the pavement was ripped up and he added the J!and nobody’s batting a fucking eye!!
…so was this a fifth tear easter egg? 😂
in commemoration of this momentous occasion coming up thirteen days from now on April 18th, i thought i’d share some compiled thoughts that i’ve gathered over the past year. and god, what a year its been. please note the majority of this is an attempt to bring together a bunch of links to posts, and string together a story surrounding the theory, a theory that i still call a theory. in short, i understand this falls in the conjecture column, in lieu of the terms “reach” and “fanfiction.” (well tbh i think its true as hell but im not here to create a convent) and i think this is worth mentioning, it’s meant in good faith 😌
👁The Theory: #all eyes on us
taylor included some part of an image of karlie’s right eye, flipped and placed on the right side of taylor’s face, in the reputation photo used on the cd skin and stadium tour poster.

I really want to believe Karlie & Taylor are still together, have a kid together etc. But what are your thoughts on Right Where You Left Me? It's clearly about Karlie, but it's not exactly the most positive bonus track from evermore that would confirm their relationship is, well...forevermore. Thoughts?
I do not really know this song so I will let others chime in. I am not a believer that evermore or folklore are specific narratives of her life. I believe those songs are sprinkled with a combination of true stories and fiction.
