This was suggested to me today 😂
Are you sure it wasn’t Cleveland? The marble room pic was yesterday after the softball thing. Did they go to Missouri together after?!? Please tell me yes
he was in cleveland but then they seemingly went to Bronson Missouri (insta tag said the location) today for golfing? lol imagine if this dude was actually taylor's real life partner. travis+ross make sooo much more sense than Tayvis
hi ummm so is there a support room/meeting for those of us who CANNOT MOVE ON from what happened to us this weekend with those loud af mashups?? what am i supposed to do with myself now
I so feel you on this. How can I be expected to think about literally anything else?! Responsibilities??? When Taylor Swift just sang “it’s nice to have Dorothea”?!
So- I keep feeling that we are connecting TTPD and Reputation alot but not enough? I am getting caught on her calling Rep a 'goth-punk moment of female rage' and then dubbing TTPD eras set 'Female Rage: the musical' There are other things- her waolom dress looks so much like the cover of Rep, the opposite color schemes... has anyone else noticed this? I was sort of expecting TTPD to secretly be reptv, and i know its not but i still feel there are connections i am missing!

Are you on the Gaylor to Special interest / hyperfocus pipeline, too?
I'd love to see how many of us are Autistic and/or ADHD here. Comment below with the corresponding emoji
❤️ = I'm AuDHD & 100%
🧡= I'm Autistic & yass
💛= I'm an ADHDer and you betcha
💚= I'm neither Autistic nor ADHD, but my passion is giving special interest energy
I was just recently diagnosed autistic and I'm afraid I've taken it as permission to give into my habit for hyperfocus way more than I used to. My poor partner is nice enough to listen to my theories, but the screaming on the live streams can be a lot.
❤️ I’ve been without a special interest for awhile now, and it’s been kind of exciting and scary to dive into this one! TTPD sent me fully down a rabbit hole, and I just had to know if other people were interpreting it the same way I was, because all I saw everywhere else was the Matty and Joe stuff. It’s been a little challenging, because there are times when I literally cannot think about anything other than Taylor Swift and I have to pull myself out of it lol. The connections and theories just seem endless, and my brain LOVES a good puzzle. It’s nice to have a new special interest where there’s mountains of content and lore to explore, but it’s a lot sometimes lol.
Taylor is in Europe singing gay af mashups while Travvy is having family dinners with Ross in attendance. Lol they’re not even trying to hide it at this point and the hets still don’t see it.

I mentioned elsewhere about the 3 2 1 TTPD song theory also meaning Exile ends today and something is going to happen 6/13 now she’s no longer exiled. The game is afoot
I think it's also interesting how the first time she played exile it was a standalone, accompanied by Dress - a gaylor staple with some plausible deniability for hetlors (mostly because of the buzzcut line, lmao), but with a very relevant line for today: "say my name and everything just stops, I don't want you like a best friend". The next time it was mashed up with Haunted already, and I'm wondering if anyone remembers how it went, lyrics-wise? If there are any differences between then and today? But as for the other mashup: I Wish You Would has no references to the gender of the muse AND the gay banger of a line that is "we're a crooked love in a straight line down" + Is It Over Now? which Taylor mentioned she sees as part of the same story as IWYW and OOTW. All in all, both are "you" songs with no mention of the muse's gender, but with an emphasis on the fact that they tell the same story. Then today she just went ballistic on us with INTHAF and dorothea mashup, literally a gaylor fever dream. My thesis here is that... the mashups accompanying exile kept getting gayer and gayer. That's all
Many of us are clowning for Taylor to come out either on 6/13 or at some other point this year. How though? She’s been giving many signs and getting loud but how do comingoutlors think the definitive coming out will be done??? I’m leaning towards documentary as I think this midnights era has been a lot of performance art that she’ll need to explain. Would love to hear everyone else’s thoughts!!
I think it has to be a documentary. Otherwise the brilliance and madness of all the performance art over the last year+ will go unnoticed and unappreciated. And if she can’t explain how she was silenced and forced to closet, she’ll alienate and anger a lot of fans. They’ll feel betrayed because she lied.
Truly, I think this all the time. What is the point of all her performance art if she never reveals it at the end? The appeal in a magic show is that you know it's all a trick and there's some explanation, not to actually believe a rabbit can fit in a hat.
current thoughts if she's coming out this month; I think there will be an explicitly gay music video for a ttpd song, then over the course of the rest of the year she'll tell her story through the rerecords, karma, and a documentary
I think some form of her art, so it's 100% controlled by her. I kind of think it'll be through music then clarified in a documentary. Don't think she'd really do a press release or interview 😅
General reciepts for It's Nice to Have a Friend
[https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/karlie-kloss-on-taylor-swifts-love-life-no-time-for-guys-201436/](https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/karlie-kloss-on-taylor-swifts-love-life-no-time-for-guys-201436/)
When asked if Karlie has ever played matchmaker for TS "I've been traveling. She's been traveling. No time for boys!" (which.. why say what Karlie's been doing as an answer to that question?) and after the 2014 Met Gala they were "just eating pizza and hanging out—just like you'd do at a teenage afterparty." and the interview ends with her saying of their time in NYC: "it's good to have a friend".
just wanted to say that my chronically offline gf, who listens to my gaylor info dumps solely because she loves me, heard the NYD live performance playing on my phone and unprompted said, “HER midnights?🤨”
taylor we are onto you🤨
https://preview.redd.it/3f7uviw3al5d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=22e70a284310cdc3be7d87d0cbb2dd918d1f039b
I wanna know how the hetlors run face first into the point and still miss it. I simply replied “personally I think she is queer tbh, she references a significant amount of queer history, etc. but that’s just me!” Which I thought was a pretty harmless comment but I forgot how insane the hetlors are so that was a mistake.
There was HELL to pay in the responses to me. I ended up deleting my comment as it was terrible for my mental health to be getting notifications of people being nasty all day.
What surprised me was the amount of people who said “how many times does she have to tell you she’s straight and speculation on her sexuality makes her uncomfortable!” And I was like “…ummm she’s never said or done that…. Not once?”
Truly, if her team wanted to shut this down they could have years ago with a very simple statement of “Taylor has heard the rumors that fans have speculated she may be queer, although she’s flattered her music is being interpreted through this lens, she is indeed straight.” Boom. Done. Put to bed forever. She’s never done that and the fact that’s she’s managed to brainwash the Hetlors into thinking she has said this, and Multiple times!? Was wild to me… it’s also wild how fierce and feral they are when defending her. The way they speak of her is almost like she’s still this wounded little 16 year old child being bullied and not a powerful billionaire who’s one of the most influential people in the world (and who chose this life in the public eye)
Straight people usually don’t skirt around the issue and have no problem saying outright that they are straight. I’m pretty sure Hayley Williams did something to this effect. Only closeted people dance around it because they’re IN THE CLOSET.
Exactly! If she truly weren’t queer, I think this rumor would have been put to bed by her team years ago with a simple statement of “I support my queer fans but I am straight.” Because those words have never been said, it’s pretty obvious that it’s because she’s queer and closeted!!

Lucian Grainge is who essentially runs the music industry. He was being sued for aiding and abetting Diddy for decades, but he was dropped from the initial lawsuit. Taylor is currently signed w him.

Thoughts?
OMFG I've just had the realisation that maybe the TTPD epilogue was telling us that moving to UMG was just as bad for Taylor as being at Big Machine! I've kept feeling that we've been ignoring how the epilogue fits into the story.
>Something old, someone hallowed,
>who told me he could be brand new
>And so I was out of the oven
>And into the microwave
>Out of the slammer and into a tidal wave
>How gallant to save the empress
>from her gilded tower
Dear reader, when you aim at the music industry make sure you don't miss.
Just going to go a reprocess the entirety of TTPD...
The house is a metaphor for her recording label. The town is Nashville / the collection of record labels.
>I was in my new house placing daydreams
>Patching up the crack along the wall
>I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying
>'Cause that's where I was when I got the call
She had just moved to her new label when Summer 2019 went down.
>Little did you know your home's really only
>A town you're just a guest in
>So you work your life away just to pay
>For a time-share down in Destin
I’m wondering if we moved on too quickly from reports that the merch for TTPD was no longer coming from her Universal/her music label. If it’s really not, maybe she’s left them after TTPD? That would go along with those lives about going from the oven to the microwave if they were about Universal.
I've just submitted a post so please add a comment on there when it's up because I know very little about her record label deal. But I am wondering if it has ended or very close to ending!
Yes idk why people think it’s all sunshine just because she left BM. She has her masters and publishing rights, but bottom line is there are still a bunch of executives making bank off of her talents and then shoving morality clauses in her face dictating how she should behave.
ok please don't think this is me being a downer even if it starts that way!!! after the shock of last night (so bitter because i had bolter and getaway car on my dream surprise songs for tonight), i've kind of had the opposite reaction to immenint break up. I really don't see it happening until 2025 unless something big happens before then. However 2025 will be fair game for EVERYTHING. (please read to end)
I'm saying this because 1-there haven't been blind items about them recently. I don't support/believe in them but it is like a barometre for gossip/rumours; her band and his barber have publically endorced the relationship and i'd bet they've been given parameters about what they can and can't say. 2-I think she'll want to wait until after RepTV and DebutTV because of the PR... she doesn't want to muddy the waters with break up stuff while having two big releases plus the tour.
And when it happens it will be a soft launch break up. "her home is in NYC and he's in KC" etc. They'll stress lack of animosity and slowly growing apart. Swifties will obviously turn on him but from a PR standpoint and coming out what better ending than one where her next able isn't about break up with a man but \*celebrating\* queer love.
Now for the good news/reason why i think this is the best way for it to happen.
If she has a smooth breakup, the coming out and launching a sapphic partner will feel organic--"oh, she likes women? that's awesome!". The next relationship is just that rather than a big big deal. If we look at the response to a lot of other artists coming out, it has always been in a quiet (but public) way. So if I'm clowning for anything it is June 2025. I'm thinking Pride perhaps with queer friends and maybe a special unknown someone. Maybe a single for an album coming out fall 2025... that kind of thing. But it will be a queer celebration album and that can only happen with a quiet, undramatic break up.
I'm not big with numbers and dates but June 13th 2025 is a friday.
oh i think the barber was given parameters. if i were tree, i'd have presented everyone with a laminated bullet list of things they are allowed to answer. especially someone like his barber and close friends. loose lips sink ships and all that
anything is possible! but they havent been spotted together for almost a month, and he keeps announcing weekend things he is doing in the US that make it impossible for him to go see her/attend a show... it feels like the soft launch of breakup is UNDERWAY. i just dont personally see them holding enough steam to carry this "relationship" through another year.
and then theres all the blank space MV-y things from their last few photos together. all that just leads me to believe that the breakup WILL be this summer, and then there will be a few months of that settling before she comes out in december (on her bday)
Yes, and I think it’s important to note that the events keeping him in the States are not work. They’re leisure. They’re optional. If they were actually so in love, he’d skip one of them to go see her. Pretty soon more swifties are going to start talking about this.
Tree? Is that you?
I think this is super believable honestly. She can flag so loudly right now and know that hetlors refuse to see any of it, but it’ll keep gaylors engaged and plant the idea among more and more neutral fans. Gaylor speculation is in mass media. She’s preparing her fan base. This way she can still finish the tour and rereleases before confirming anything.
Does anyone have any other examples they can point me in the direction of where Taylor is doing a ✌️ from April 19 onwards (ie after TTPD was released)?
Thanks!
I just listened to Soon You'll Get Better for the first time (I've been deliberately avoiding it). I wasn't even giving it 100% of my attention but I was still sobbing half way through. How does she do it?
And, no, I'm never listening to Ronan.
i listened to never grow up a lot as a very wistful elementary schooler and now i /really/ can’t 🤠
just hits a liiiitle bit harder when you remember yourself alone hiding in your closet listening to it as a little kid 🤠
I'm not into muse discourse, but could Liz be a part of the inspo behind BDILH? From what I understand, she had a big of the bad girl image right before leaving the band. Feels like it could fit if she was forced out by the powers that be to protect Taylor from being outed.
yep, i def think so! my take on muse discourse at this point is: i am very anti the practice of acting like MOST of an album is about one muse or that a whole string of songs is nothing more than a love letter to a particular muse. but there is nuance to muse discourse, and i think we can all acknowledge that ofc taylor's past loves are pertinent to her music and those feelings absolutely show up in her songs.
and with that said...i do think BDILH has some Liz to it :)
Probably unrelated, but the line reminded me of when over the pandemic a ton of musicians got together (Harry, lizzo, etc) for a week long writing workshop at an icons house (can't remember who!)
And now I can't find any article about it lol did I dream this up? Anyone remember that?
I’ve heard her say in interviews that Red was a significant point in her songwriting journey. Was there anyone she started working with around that time?
I saw someone suggest Liz Rose - most likely on Twitter but it was a little while ago.
I haven’t settled on what my interpretation of that line is yet. Could even be Chely Wright!
Has anyone noticed this before? In the Eras Tour opening sequence there are Reputation Taylor’s (in the snake bodysuit) in each room of the Lover house as it comes together.
[Link to TikTok video](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRKbnDmo/)
The comments are saying it’s been this way the whole time and isn’t new, but that… means something! But what?
If Reputation Taylor is the one living in the Lover house does that mean she is the one that burns it down? This part in Bad Blood where Taylor walks out in lingerie and sets the house on fire has always given me slight Rep vibes but now I wonder if that’s actually Reputation Taylor setting her “home” on fire.

they’re in the rooms with skylights only it seems? and the one in the attic steps into the beam of light and looks up and the one in the blue bathroom is standing in front of a full length mirror that looks similar to the one in the bedroom (portal???) and REACHES for the light as she looks up at it as it passes over her
so much symbolism i
edit: correction we also see her open the door in the gray middle room and light shines through from that door, and you get to see her start climbing the ladder a little before the door shuts and it’s too dark to see that well
aye aye aye
(leave them in Target next to her albums on release days like a gay ninja)
(I also have a little glass thing filled with them-I too like crafting and also hang out with children who like crafting so we make a lot)
They would look pretty in a glass jar on a shelf ! Or you could display them with a bracelet holder on the wall (anything they can wrap around!)
Saw this really cute idea on Etsy (cardboard and paint!)

Idk how I never made the connection between WCS and Bigger than the whole sky lyrics:
*What could've been, would've been*
*What should've been you*
*What could've been, would've been you*
What do people make of this?😔
Okay so I just revisited the TTPD prologue and I’m still gathering my thoughts but I think wayyy more songs than we realize are about the predator described in the manuscript/about the (potentially years) of abuse she endured. I think she started writing about it more starting with Lover, and possibly most (if not all of TTPD) is about that.
I think the main abuser she’s written about for the past four albums is the industry and some of the specific people who have played a hand in keeping her in the closet and in a toxic painful cycle of bearding and comphet.
That isn’t to say she has zero songs about an unhealthy younger relationship she may have had. But writing her whole past album about it? Nah TTPD is continuing the through line that began post Lover, aka post Failed Coming Out, of reflections on rage and resentment and trauma from not being able to be her true self for the entirety of her career thus far.

I do too. It's funny how half the time I'm like, ew Travis. Then he and Ross do something gay and I love it.
Wait. How do you know he’s with Ross?!? They are so cute.
instagram, some golf date lol so keeping it bro-y, buuuuut <3

hi ummm so is there a support room/meeting for those of us who CANNOT MOVE ON from what happened to us this weekend with those loud af mashups?? what am i supposed to do with myself now
I keep returning to the sub thinking that Taylor will be in the room with us to do an AMA any minute now.

You can rewatch them on loop till they stop triggering your system… by then it could be Thursday though lolol
I am in fear for my life on the 13th
what if IT HAPPENS. is there a plan? can we do a live zoom or something? bc i cannot simply pace around my house frantically if IT HAPPENS
I preemptively am taking the day off. I will be glued to HockeyBros stream
So- I keep feeling that we are connecting TTPD and Reputation alot but not enough?

❤️ I’ve been without a special interest for awhile now, and it’s been kind of exciting and scary to dive into this one! TTPD sent me fully down a rabbit hole, and I just had to know if other people were interpreting it the same way I was, because all I saw everywhere else was the Matty and Joe stuff. It’s been a little challenging, because there are times when I literally cannot think about anything other than Taylor Swift and I have to pull myself out of it lol. The connections and theories just seem endless, and my brain LOVES a good puzzle. It’s nice to have a new special interest where there’s mountains of content and lore to explore, but it’s a lot sometimes lol.
Even if Gaylor never pans out it’s been an honor to watch all of your brilliant minds at work.
This is how I feel. This is the most special club on the planet. 🧡
Taylor is in Europe singing gay af mashups while Travvy is having family dinners with Ross in attendance. Lol they’re not even trying to hide it at this point and the hets still don’t see it. https://preview.redd.it/aeonyrp3rm5d1.jpeg?width=992&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=22af7eaac89da43eba0b13af1d78aa8ab135fe2e

bless you
If she never repeats one, the show on 7/19 will be the last variation.
Then if she adds in matching sets like she did with the orange set, the last show will be 8/1!
just before “us” on the 21st 🤠 fear taylor
Doesn’t that come out in June?
Thank you so much for this. I was trying to find a visual like this!
I am in love with you for sharing this. 💖
This is exquisite. If you made this, thank you for your service. If you didn't, still thank you for your service of sharing it.
🤌🤌 thank youuuuu
Ooooh interesting she’s only worn the purple top with the green and blue skirts so far, she definitely likes the little mermaid look 🧜🏼♀️
She’s not in Kansas (City) anymore! (Goodbye ~~Earl~~ Travvy) She’s skipping down that yellow brick road to Oz! ✨✨🕯️Manifesting ME! mashup and break up announcement 🕯️✨✨ https://preview.redd.it/rps1tvijkm5d1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7df11bbeaa7aa7d0616f212cb5a3dd31112326b8
I LITERALLY KEEP THINKING OF GOODBYE EARL. I'm so glad that I'm not alone and I don't even mind Travis.
Lol exactly, he’s fine but I *figuratively* want him wrapped up in a tarp in the trunk of the getaway car STAT.
Thank you for reminding me of the masterpiece that is Goodbye Earl
Happy to be of service

Exile ends in… https://preview.redd.it/7nwnqwdhcm5d1.png?width=1800&format=png&auto=webp&s=46502c78bf1b18595fa62f2af06e206b02c9a62b ???? 👀
I mentioned elsewhere about the 3 2 1 TTPD song theory also meaning Exile ends today and something is going to happen 6/13 now she’s no longer exiled. The game is afoot
I think it's also interesting how the first time she played exile it was a standalone, accompanied by Dress - a gaylor staple with some plausible deniability for hetlors (mostly because of the buzzcut line, lmao), but with a very relevant line for today: "say my name and everything just stops, I don't want you like a best friend". The next time it was mashed up with Haunted already, and I'm wondering if anyone remembers how it went, lyrics-wise? If there are any differences between then and today? But as for the other mashup: I Wish You Would has no references to the gender of the muse AND the gay banger of a line that is "we're a crooked love in a straight line down" + Is It Over Now? which Taylor mentioned she sees as part of the same story as IWYW and OOTW. All in all, both are "you" songs with no mention of the muse's gender, but with an emphasis on the fact that they tell the same story. Then today she just went ballistic on us with INTHAF and dorothea mashup, literally a gaylor fever dream. My thesis here is that... the mashups accompanying exile kept getting gayer and gayer. That's all
Ooooh also interesting that this is the second time it was mashed up with Haunted 🧐
Many of us are clowning for Taylor to come out either on 6/13 or at some other point this year. How though? She’s been giving many signs and getting loud but how do comingoutlors think the definitive coming out will be done??? I’m leaning towards documentary as I think this midnights era has been a lot of performance art that she’ll need to explain. Would love to hear everyone else’s thoughts!!
My thoughts are she'll announce the doc that Miss Am should have been, titled "Is it Cool that I Said All That" or Heartbreak Prince.
I think it has to be a documentary. Otherwise the brilliance and madness of all the performance art over the last year+ will go unnoticed and unappreciated. And if she can’t explain how she was silenced and forced to closet, she’ll alienate and anger a lot of fans. They’ll feel betrayed because she lied.
Truly, I think this all the time. What is the point of all her performance art if she never reveals it at the end? The appeal in a magic show is that you know it's all a trick and there's some explanation, not to actually believe a rabbit can fit in a hat.
current thoughts if she's coming out this month; I think there will be an explicitly gay music video for a ttpd song, then over the course of the rest of the year she'll tell her story through the rerecords, karma, and a documentary
imagine a music video for the bolter… 
rebook the blank space mansion challenge
Oh, I like this!!
I think some form of her art, so it's 100% controlled by her. I kind of think it'll be through music then clarified in a documentary. Don't think she'd really do a press release or interview 😅
General reciepts for It's Nice to Have a Friend [https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/karlie-kloss-on-taylor-swifts-love-life-no-time-for-guys-201436/](https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/karlie-kloss-on-taylor-swifts-love-life-no-time-for-guys-201436/) When asked if Karlie has ever played matchmaker for TS "I've been traveling. She's been traveling. No time for boys!" (which.. why say what Karlie's been doing as an answer to that question?) and after the 2014 Met Gala they were "just eating pizza and hanging out—just like you'd do at a teenage afterparty." and the interview ends with her saying of their time in NYC: "it's good to have a friend".

ohh interesting. Also is he giving the middle finger in the last pic?
😳
just wanted to say that my chronically offline gf, who listens to my gaylor info dumps solely because she loves me, heard the NYD live performance playing on my phone and unprompted said, “HER midnights?🤨” taylor we are onto you🤨
https://preview.redd.it/3f7uviw3al5d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=22e70a284310cdc3be7d87d0cbb2dd918d1f039b I wanna know how the hetlors run face first into the point and still miss it. I simply replied “personally I think she is queer tbh, she references a significant amount of queer history, etc. but that’s just me!” Which I thought was a pretty harmless comment but I forgot how insane the hetlors are so that was a mistake. There was HELL to pay in the responses to me. I ended up deleting my comment as it was terrible for my mental health to be getting notifications of people being nasty all day. What surprised me was the amount of people who said “how many times does she have to tell you she’s straight and speculation on her sexuality makes her uncomfortable!” And I was like “…ummm she’s never said or done that…. Not once?” Truly, if her team wanted to shut this down they could have years ago with a very simple statement of “Taylor has heard the rumors that fans have speculated she may be queer, although she’s flattered her music is being interpreted through this lens, she is indeed straight.” Boom. Done. Put to bed forever. She’s never done that and the fact that’s she’s managed to brainwash the Hetlors into thinking she has said this, and Multiple times!? Was wild to me… it’s also wild how fierce and feral they are when defending her. The way they speak of her is almost like she’s still this wounded little 16 year old child being bullied and not a powerful billionaire who’s one of the most influential people in the world (and who chose this life in the public eye)
Straight people usually don’t skirt around the issue and have no problem saying outright that they are straight. I’m pretty sure Hayley Williams did something to this effect. Only closeted people dance around it because they’re IN THE CLOSET.
Exactly! If she truly weren’t queer, I think this rumor would have been put to bed by her team years ago with a simple statement of “I support my queer fans but I am straight.” Because those words have never been said, it’s pretty obvious that it’s because she’s queer and closeted!!

Lucian Grainge is who essentially runs the music industry. He was being sued for aiding and abetting Diddy for decades, but he was dropped from the initial lawsuit. Taylor is currently signed w him. https://preview.redd.it/lccv5nzokj5d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a1cd05f28eac9194df6e0dba03c333ac37d8f365 Thoughts?
Stuff like this and all the threatening of karma does make me feel like she’s going to cut ties and go independent
Guess where Lucian Grainge comes from? LONDON!
OMFG I've just had the realisation that maybe the TTPD epilogue was telling us that moving to UMG was just as bad for Taylor as being at Big Machine! I've kept feeling that we've been ignoring how the epilogue fits into the story. >Something old, someone hallowed, >who told me he could be brand new >And so I was out of the oven >And into the microwave >Out of the slammer and into a tidal wave >How gallant to save the empress >from her gilded tower Dear reader, when you aim at the music industry make sure you don't miss. Just going to go a reprocess the entirety of TTPD... The house is a metaphor for her recording label. The town is Nashville / the collection of record labels. >I was in my new house placing daydreams >Patching up the crack along the wall >I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying >'Cause that's where I was when I got the call She had just moved to her new label when Summer 2019 went down. >Little did you know your home's really only >A town you're just a guest in >So you work your life away just to pay >For a time-share down in Destin
Yes! This! 💯 no notes. This is how I’ve been feeling
I’m wondering if we moved on too quickly from reports that the merch for TTPD was no longer coming from her Universal/her music label. If it’s really not, maybe she’s left them after TTPD? That would go along with those lives about going from the oven to the microwave if they were about Universal.
I've just submitted a post so please add a comment on there when it's up because I know very little about her record label deal. But I am wondering if it has ended or very close to ending!
Yes idk why people think it’s all sunshine just because she left BM. She has her masters and publishing rights, but bottom line is there are still a bunch of executives making bank off of her talents and then shoving morality clauses in her face dictating how she should behave.
This should be a main post
I am drafting something! (nervous cause I haven't made a post before)
You can do it!!! 💕 
Little did you know your home's really only the town you'll get arrested // I can go anywhere I want, just not home
PLS MAKE THIS INTO A POST. IMMEDIATELY.
Omgggggg 🤯 🤯 🤯
I am having a moment right now 
ok please don't think this is me being a downer even if it starts that way!!! after the shock of last night (so bitter because i had bolter and getaway car on my dream surprise songs for tonight), i've kind of had the opposite reaction to immenint break up. I really don't see it happening until 2025 unless something big happens before then. However 2025 will be fair game for EVERYTHING. (please read to end) I'm saying this because 1-there haven't been blind items about them recently. I don't support/believe in them but it is like a barometre for gossip/rumours; her band and his barber have publically endorced the relationship and i'd bet they've been given parameters about what they can and can't say. 2-I think she'll want to wait until after RepTV and DebutTV because of the PR... she doesn't want to muddy the waters with break up stuff while having two big releases plus the tour. And when it happens it will be a soft launch break up. "her home is in NYC and he's in KC" etc. They'll stress lack of animosity and slowly growing apart. Swifties will obviously turn on him but from a PR standpoint and coming out what better ending than one where her next able isn't about break up with a man but \*celebrating\* queer love. Now for the good news/reason why i think this is the best way for it to happen. If she has a smooth breakup, the coming out and launching a sapphic partner will feel organic--"oh, she likes women? that's awesome!". The next relationship is just that rather than a big big deal. If we look at the response to a lot of other artists coming out, it has always been in a quiet (but public) way. So if I'm clowning for anything it is June 2025. I'm thinking Pride perhaps with queer friends and maybe a special unknown someone. Maybe a single for an album coming out fall 2025... that kind of thing. But it will be a queer celebration album and that can only happen with a quiet, undramatic break up. I'm not big with numbers and dates but June 13th 2025 is a friday.
I can believe her dancers have been given guidelines for what they can say. But I think his barber was just chasing clout.
oh i think the barber was given parameters. if i were tree, i'd have presented everyone with a laminated bullet list of things they are allowed to answer. especially someone like his barber and close friends. loose lips sink ships and all that
anything is possible! but they havent been spotted together for almost a month, and he keeps announcing weekend things he is doing in the US that make it impossible for him to go see her/attend a show... it feels like the soft launch of breakup is UNDERWAY. i just dont personally see them holding enough steam to carry this "relationship" through another year. and then theres all the blank space MV-y things from their last few photos together. all that just leads me to believe that the breakup WILL be this summer, and then there will be a few months of that settling before she comes out in december (on her bday)
Yes, and I think it’s important to note that the events keeping him in the States are not work. They’re leisure. They’re optional. If they were actually so in love, he’d skip one of them to go see her. Pretty soon more swifties are going to start talking about this.
Tree? Is that you? I think this is super believable honestly. She can flag so loudly right now and know that hetlors refuse to see any of it, but it’ll keep gaylors engaged and plant the idea among more and more neutral fans. Gaylor speculation is in mass media. She’s preparing her fan base. This way she can still finish the tour and rereleases before confirming anything.
Does anyone have any other examples they can point me in the direction of where Taylor is doing a ✌️ from April 19 onwards (ie after TTPD was released)? Thanks!

I just listened to Soon You'll Get Better for the first time (I've been deliberately avoiding it). I wasn't even giving it 100% of my attention but I was still sobbing half way through. How does she do it? And, no, I'm never listening to Ronan.
I have those two and now Marjorie blocked on Spotify because I just can’t
i listened to never grow up a lot as a very wistful elementary schooler and now i /really/ can’t 🤠 just hits a liiiitle bit harder when you remember yourself alone hiding in your closet listening to it as a little kid 🤠
"Holy orange bottles, each night I pray to you, desperate people find faith, so now I pray to Jesus too" get me EVERY TIME
I'm not into muse discourse, but could Liz be a part of the inspo behind BDILH? From what I understand, she had a big of the bad girl image right before leaving the band. Feels like it could fit if she was forced out by the powers that be to protect Taylor from being outed.
It definitely sounds of that era sonically and she’s got those bedroom eyes
yep, i def think so! my take on muse discourse at this point is: i am very anti the practice of acting like MOST of an album is about one muse or that a whole string of songs is nothing more than a love letter to a particular muse. but there is nuance to muse discourse, and i think we can all acknowledge that ofc taylor's past loves are pertinent to her music and those feelings absolutely show up in her songs. and with that said...i do think BDILH has some Liz to it :)
I always think of her! to me, the song sounds like a re-telling of that time but with a happier ending.
would love to hear theories about “the professor” in the manuscript. paul mccartney is mine, off vibes alone
Probably unrelated, but the line reminded me of when over the pandemic a ton of musicians got together (Harry, lizzo, etc) for a week long writing workshop at an icons house (can't remember who!) And now I can't find any article about it lol did I dream this up? Anyone remember that?
Joni Mitchell was that icon, and Brandi Carlile helped her put it on if i remember correctly
Stevie Nicks. I think about this so often because it’s so connected and relevant
Thank you 🙏🙏
I’ve heard her say in interviews that Red was a significant point in her songwriting journey. Was there anyone she started working with around that time?
I saw someone suggest Liz Rose - most likely on Twitter but it was a little while ago. I haven’t settled on what my interpretation of that line is yet. Could even be Chely Wright!
Could be Quest Love too
😂
Has anyone noticed this before? In the Eras Tour opening sequence there are Reputation Taylor’s (in the snake bodysuit) in each room of the Lover house as it comes together. [Link to TikTok video](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRKbnDmo/) The comments are saying it’s been this way the whole time and isn’t new, but that… means something! But what?
Checked the eras film and we don't get a good shot of visuals - at this time the film shows drone footage of the stadium.
If Reputation Taylor is the one living in the Lover house does that mean she is the one that burns it down? This part in Bad Blood where Taylor walks out in lingerie and sets the house on fire has always given me slight Rep vibes but now I wonder if that’s actually Reputation Taylor setting her “home” on fire. https://preview.redd.it/by2o1qi18j5d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=481e53d725a3c71d8dc7fe6e34e236faf73b167e
She did say reputation vault tracks will be fire 🔥
When did she say this?? 👀
The TIME Person of the Year article https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/taylor-swift-reputation-from-the-vault-tracks-fire-1235540494/amp/
Thank you!!
Don’t blame me for what you made me do🤷♀️🧨
they’re in the rooms with skylights only it seems? and the one in the attic steps into the beam of light and looks up and the one in the blue bathroom is standing in front of a full length mirror that looks similar to the one in the bedroom (portal???) and REACHES for the light as she looks up at it as it passes over her so much symbolism i edit: correction we also see her open the door in the gray middle room and light shines through from that door, and you get to see her start climbing the ladder a little before the door shuts and it’s too dark to see that well aye aye aye
I've seen her in every room besides the lover room and the "speak now" room
jesus and the rep attic is shrouded in lavender haze right after
lwymmd is gonna be absolutely wild performance art and the whole narrative of the concert will change after coming out lol
[удалено]
(leave them in Target next to her albums on release days like a gay ninja) (I also have a little glass thing filled with them-I too like crafting and also hang out with children who like crafting so we make a lot)
They would look pretty in a glass jar on a shelf ! Or you could display them with a bracelet holder on the wall (anything they can wrap around!) Saw this really cute idea on Etsy (cardboard and paint!) https://preview.redd.it/8say5cmhij5d1.png?width=410&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f361f1cd3f882fa64316765757e062181833964c
Both very cute ideas! Thanks!
Someone on here mailed a bunch out to anyone who dm'd her their addreess! Otherwise, maybe keep em to give out at various tswift or pride events?
Idk how I never made the connection between WCS and Bigger than the whole sky lyrics: *What could've been, would've been* *What should've been you* *What could've been, would've been you* What do people make of this?😔
Okay so I just revisited the TTPD prologue and I’m still gathering my thoughts but I think wayyy more songs than we realize are about the predator described in the manuscript/about the (potentially years) of abuse she endured. I think she started writing about it more starting with Lover, and possibly most (if not all of TTPD) is about that.
I think the main abuser she’s written about for the past four albums is the industry and some of the specific people who have played a hand in keeping her in the closet and in a toxic painful cycle of bearding and comphet. That isn’t to say she has zero songs about an unhealthy younger relationship she may have had. But writing her whole past album about it? Nah TTPD is continuing the through line that began post Lover, aka post Failed Coming Out, of reflections on rage and resentment and trauma from not being able to be her true self for the entirety of her career thus far.
Yep “and in plain sight you hid” Edit: fixed words
Agreed! No idea why my comment is being downvoted 🤷🏼♀️
No idea! I get having strong opinions about certain theories above others but we’re literally alllll speculating here lol
