all too well: “so casually cruel in the name of being honest”
mr. perfectly fine: “mr. casually cruel”
last kiss: “you told me you loved so why did you go away?”
mr. perfectly fine: “mr. looked me in the eye and told me you’d never go away”
how you get the girl: “when you left her all alone and never told her why”
mr. perfectly fine: “mr. never told me why”
I knew you were trouble: “no apologies, he’ll never see you cry”
mr. perfectly fine: “mr. never had to see me cry”
dear John: “long were the nights when my days once revolved around you”
mr. perfectly fine: “mr. everything revolves around you”
the story of us: “I used to know my spot next to you, now I’m searching the room for an empty seat”
mr. perfectly fine: “sashay your way to your seat. it’s the best seat in the best room”
white horse: “it’s too late for you and your white horse to catch me now”
mr. perfectly fine: “someday maybe you’ll miss me but by then you’ll be mr. too late”
I am now convinced that this part of the Apple Music interview was an Easter egg 🐣🐥
My theory: 6 months from December 15, 2020 Taylor is going to drop Long Live and maybe a hint for the Speak Now album rerelease.
Evidence in support: She said “everything is made out of confetti” and touched her face
Connected reference: we know from Taylor’s diary of song interview with NYT that she did this exact hand gesture when asked about the importance of a bridge
Evidence continued: After Taylor gives the signal, Zane gets tripped up and needed to read the prompt given to him by Taylor’s team to ask about august.
We know from the Long Pond sessions during the discussion of august that taylor said she had that “meet me behind the mall” line written down in her phone “years ago”. (It is at the very end of the discussion before they cut to the performance).
When Zane asked the question he pointed to the LPSS to ask about the “meet me behind the mall” line and in response Taylor said she had the line for “like 6 months probably.”
Now coming back to the confetti set up line:
The bridge of Long Live says:
In conclusion
I believe Taylor is dropping Long Live and maybe the hint for speak now’s release date on June 15th.
This November 13th has truly been a celebration.
How it Started:
How it’s going:
‘Twas a happy Kaylor anniversary. Cheers to many more years.
Has nobody mentioned Karlie's latest picture being, literally, Karlie through the looking glass? "Fell from the pedestal, right down the rabbit hole." Obviously Wonderland the song is about Di, but it's mostly about how the bearding and lies almost drove Taylor mad. Long Story Short evokes Alice in Wonderland again to say that this time, all is well DESPITE Taylor's plunge down the rabbit hole. Karlie and the baby are behind glass in an alternate reality, but all will be well in the end.
I think Taylor is stuck behind glass too...
Does someone know form where is this and how is she kissing ?
👀
ITS CHEMISTRY 😏✨✨✨✨✨✨💕😏✨
Lesbian culture is you’re so gorgeous, I can’t say anything to your face
sometimes the universe
...just says it shall be...
i mean seriously... can you believe this pic of karlie existed back in... august 2012?? with a gold heart covering over the other side of her face??? like...?!?! between this and the sweet escape coincidence unearthed by @daydreamlibertine i am truly beside myself
thanks to @blogbeautiffulthings for this truly hidden gem!! i can’t believe i’ve never seen it.
here’s more from the photoshoot that it is from:
karlie seems to be wearing her jennifer meyer initial necklace in this shoot as well.
really i’m just enamored by karlie showing off some very rare left-side eye 😂 and also like, it’s at such a particularly good angle...
...so naturally 🙈 i took the liberty of flipping it, zapping the saturation, and overlapping:
what a fit!
also it kind of reminded me of something
a taymoji of taylor in a hoodie, oddly misplaced within the I Did Something Bad pack
hark...!
is that a crack of the knuckles over a keyboard that i do hear? why yes concerned reader, i am aware this hoodie references a particular preexisting look of taylor’s. no, concerned reader, i am not aiming to say that this taymoji is meant to reference this one time back in 2012 when karlie modeled a black hoodie. after all this is a taymoji quite squarely of the:
gucci look from the lwymmd video.
that’s right.

*postscript*
also like, in rewatching the behind the scenes for this scene why does taylor go out of her way to make a scene out of one of the guys that has a hole cut out of his tie?
the 1
You know the greatest films of all time were never made
And if my wishes came true, it would’ve been you
You meet some woman on the internet and take her home
It would’ve been fun if you would’ve been the one
cardigan
Chase two girls, lose the one
I knew you’d linger like a tattoo kiss
I knew you’d come back to me

THIS FULL SONG
And though I can’t recall your face, I still got love for you, your braids like a pattern
And I think you should come live with me, and we can be pirates, then you won't have to cry, or hide in the closet
And though I can't recall your face, I still got love for you, pack your dolls and a sweater
august
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets, August sipped away like a bottle of wine, 'cause you were never mine
I remember thinking I had you
illicit affairs
Leave the perfume on the shelf that you picked out just for him, so you leave no trace behind
You showed me colors you know I can't see with anyone else
You taught me a secret language I can't speak with anyone else
betty
THE ENTIRE SONG JUST GO LISTEN
Betty, I won't make assumptions about why you switched your homeroom, but I think it's 'cause of me
Betty, one time I was riding on my skateboard when I passed your house. It's like I couldn't breathe
Would you have me? Would you want me? ... Or lead me to the garden? In the garden, would you trust me?
Slept next to her, but I dreamt of you all summer long
Will you have me? Will you love me? Will you kiss me on the porch
peace
All these people think love’s for show, but I would die for you in secret. The devil’s in the details but you’ve got a friend in me
family that I chose
I’d give you my sunshine, give you my best
Okay, so…
I will make a more detailed post when I have a second, but I needed to get the bare bones of my theory out before Red (TV) comes out.
I don’t know much about Swiftgron and we’re all entitled to our own opinions. Don’t like this theory… keep moving. Leave hate on my page and I will “sting like a scorpion.” Deal? Deal.
Bear with me. It’s all a jumble in my head, but listen back and you’ll see I’m at least somewhat on the right track.
KK was 17 and T was 20 (almost makes me think Love Story could have been about her, too… but I digress).
My theory is that T and KK hit it off and she was maybe still with Liz Huett (who I feel like is the inspiration for ‘The 1’ (insert link to previous post here).
While I’m at it, I’m also certain Folklore & Evermore are their love story told out.
Cardigan: “chase two girls, lose ‘the 1.’” She was with Liz (“the 1”) and chased Karlie (aka Betty/Dorothea) after they met at the Tommy Hilfiger show, and they had a fling until things got messy (see Red Era fighting, realizing the other person is your one, and not reaching out until months later and you’ve both seen other people (cue Swiftgron & August).
After 10 months she shows up at Karlie’s door and they’re ‘Clean.’ No more animosity, no more holding back. They decide to be seen together, “show their truth one single time” (Kissgate) and decide they’re not ready for the war.
1989, Reputation, & Lover all SCREAM Karlie, and after listening back, I feel like Red does, too. I’m adding screenshots of my ‘notes’ and maybe someone else can unscramble this mess in my head.
“The girl in my story has always been you”
