"I salute you." "I find the artifacts, cried over a hat. Cursed" STOPS. "One second. I will not mess this bridge up." [Bridge...] "Bet I could still melt your world, argumentative, antithetical dream girl. Woooooh!"
Taylor's smile during this performance! It hits different. 🥹

"So you know... you're standing in the pouring rain with people, and you just kind of feel like this romanticises camaraderie. I was thinking about what song to play with you tonight and I was thinking... there's a song from Midnights that I love so much. And I haven't played it on this tour or ever... so I figured... that could be fun to play with you. And I just - oh my gosh, this is insane - I kind of just feel like telling you, I don’t know, I just... I have just never been this happy in my life, in all aspects of my life, ever before. And I just want to thank you for being a part of that. Like, you know, I don't know... it's not just the tour... it's like... I don't know, I just sort of feel like... my life finally feels like it makes sense. And... so I thought I'd play this song, which brings me a lot of happy memories."
Don't you dare to let them take away OUR KISSGATE SONG! She even messed the song up to play it again!
The double "Oh Oh" at the end! 🥹 (in the video mixed with another cute part of the refrain)
"Do the girls back home touch you like I do?"
"Not a chance." (x)
Isn't it delicate? 🦒 (Delicate Giraffe pattern)

"when you hold me, it holds me together"
okay, SO. this is something i noticed upon first watching the eras tour movie...but the other day i went back to the theater and watched it AGAIN, and this stuck out to me even more the second time.
we all know *the* taylor and karlie hug pose...you know...this one:
and it's old news by now that taylor recreated this pose with her love interest in the lover music video...
well...in the eras tour movie, the longest consecutive shot of any of the dancers during the "lover" performance is on the m/m couple....doing the kaylor hug pose...(pls ignore the photo quality lol. when it's on streaming we can circle back with more hq visuals.)
the camera lingers on this shot for a good long while, and i just think it's beautiful - and LOUD - that taylor gives the gay couple locked in the Kaylor Embrace (TM) such a long on-screen moment during this song.
people are still surprised at how far taylor could go when referencing karlie, when she literally made a king of my heart puzzle with 252 pieces on november 25, 2018, which counts exactly 252 days to karlie's birthday. (x) || Woooow! 😮 🖤 👑 🥹
Is this the end of all the endings? Reputation puzzle.
Why haven't I seen the "King of My Heart" puzzle before? 🥹
The puzzle
That's so cute, the way she always looked in Karlie's direction.
Think about the good times, you and I. 🥹 Now we get to relive them again!

"Friend of Dorothy" explaination (History)
Stonewall Inn in YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN. 2019 Taylor performed at the bar to honor the 50th anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall Riots.
Judy Garland starred in Wizard of Oz and the day she died precipitated the Stonewall Riot. Everyone was in the bar mourning her death and the cops knew Judy was a queer icon & decided easy pickings bc being gay was illegal. So they decided to arrest everyone inside Stonewall.
But instead of an arrest it turned into a Riot and it became a turning point in queer rights or "the hairpin drop heat ‘round the world". And that was the first Pride. (x)
e.g. Elton John used Wizard of Oz as a reference to try to tell people he is gay before formally coming out. (x)
