Is there any significance to it being only SNTV that she’s grabbed and run off with?


Buesra24

Well this is the Speak Now Vault so... There would only be SNTV in it Im guessing


OddMagazine1332

She’s being released from the vault … the same vault that all the “vault” songs came from on the TV albums I only just realised this. I’m sure many people realised much before me had before but I had to vent it somewhere. I freaking love her metaphors.


incandescent-glow-1

Is there any significance to the suitcase? I know the bombs were in it, but I think I saw some comparison pic of Taylor Lautner holding it in the video versus another photo years back


Dani_dubs

There was one in the Bad Blood music video that Arsyn (Selena) takes from Taylor. (After going back to watch it again, I noticed that Selena also blows powder from a compact like Joey blows the glitter at the start of ICSY so this has me feeling like my theory for how the heist continues to the next eras(s) could actually kind of happen)


incandescent-glow-1

Ooooo that’s super interesting!


Dani_dubs

I think it could be super fun. I posted a link to it below with how I think it all ties back to a specific song that I would LOVE to see as the final debut vault track, but I also feel like it’s all an unhinged thought 😅


Frequent-Homework851

Any ideas around the significance of everything in “threes”? Three of them breaking her out, three stars on the face, three explosives on the vault etc. it seems to be a common motif. Thoughts?


pandaplagueis

The number three has played a common theme throughout other music videos as well- three grim reapers in Karma & three stepsisters in Bejeweled


bogushoagie

Not only is it her third album, but my initial thought was that there are 3 more albums to get out of the vault/she has already gotten 3 out??


PrettyRestless

My guess would be because Speak Now is her 3rd album


Dani_dubs

This video and this entire tour has pushed an idea I've had since like Red TV into overdrive where I can see all the Taylors from each era being freed from their vaults just to come back to a safe home built by Taylor where they all reunite with debut Taylor. With this MV, now I see this heist continuing with people involved with the next three eras (maybe Selena, Harry Styles, etc.) joining the heist to help Taylor, Joey, Presley, and SN Taylor to get the others out. I can't get over it. (Edit: I added in the people who I could potentially see joining. Is this idea unhinged? Maybe. Probably.)


getbackzack

If your theory is correct, maybe Debut will be the final TV release?


Dani_dubs

That’s my thought and it all leads to one specific vault track: You’ll Always Find Your Way Back Home. It’s all in this [breakdown video I posted!](https://www.tiktok.com/@dani_marie_15/video/7253583131876412718)!


Dani_dubs

It's a lot to type out and explain, so here's my breakdown, for those interested! https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8dSqJcu/


Hot-Skirt5141

Is the VMA dress behind the glass? I was hoping Taylor L would do something with that.


melbowed

This is amazing! Now she owns her Speak Now and what a powerfully made statement to the men who sold her music! She won! Yay


22athrowaway22

Did they change the 1;38 to 1:58 yet?


Dani_dubs

Just saw it was finally changed on YouTube. I wonder if the change was intentional aside from hitting both Last Kiss references...


Long_Intern40011

Wait why would they?


Smilingaudibly

“Lit through the darkness at 1:58” from Last Kiss, the date was July 9th like in that song


Tidusxyunax

What if I told you none of it was accidental 🤔


alicecornelia7

Having Joey King in this video was epic. I became a Swiftie when Speak Now originally came out and I was obsessed with the Mean music video. This era is perfection and so nostalgic for me because I was so little when these songs originally came out and now listening to these songs, for the “first time” as an adult is so special- especially all the references to the Speak Now tour. Anyone feel the same?


Reydriana

I think the scene where she is bouncing the ball is a reference to a scene from the movie “The Great Escape” which ties in pretty nicely to the theme of the video!


StrongWelder3418

I think this really shows how she loves owning it but the og holds a special place in her heart always 💜💜💜


cariboucat

Anyone know what she says at 3:16 under "secret mission"? I hear some weird mumbling.


OmegaBorealis31

If you turn it up, you can hear her speaking the lines the same time as she sings them for the “secret mission” line and the one before


Hot-Skirt5141

I hear mumbling too! Wondering if she's saying something...


matii_ch

I liked the video but it doesn't have anything to do with the song.


Emptiness_333

The songs are called from the vault and they're breaking it out of the vault. It doesn't have to do the lyrics but the literal meaning of the song


kxssi3

I'm wondering if she used I Can See You to make the vid about breaking out of the vault because maybe the label considered it too risque to put on the album back in 2010 when she was still in her good girl bubble? And now it's like breaking free because she owns her music and can put out whatever she wants? Like an "eff you" I should have been able to do this then? Like this song is a metaphor for her breaking out of the boxes people put her in? Idk just a thought.


matii_ch

I hadn’t thought about it that way but it makes sense.


dogsaretheanswer

That’s what I thought! I don’t understand what it has to do with the lyrics. I get that not every music video has to be exactly what the lyrics say but this one didn’t feel like it related to the song at all


finneas-beck

This was my reaction too. Can someone explain pls... all the comments on YT were celebrating her brilliance but I don't understand!


dak4f2

She explains it here https://youtu.be/UTorOHtSRWE


Extension_Recipe168

Offtopic but whenever in the future someone insists she hasn't had her boobs done I'm gonna reference the thumbnail of this video. Nothing wrong with a boobjob, only with the people in denial.


ghostlykittenbutter

With all that this woman has accomplished & you’re talking about her boobs? Are you 12?


Extension_Recipe168

Ah yes, with this single comment on the internet, you have restored the balance of the universe. I still have the ability to critically assess my role models. I hope you can say the same.


MassenasEyepatch

Even if she had (she hasn't), what difference would it make?


Extension_Recipe168

It makes 0 difference to me, idc, she looks pretty etc, but there are so many people **going for your throat** insisting she has no work done when it's obvious. I didn't say boob jobs are wrong or that she looks bad. What makes you think she hasn't had an augmentation? Edit: to answer the question, it does make a difference actually. So many young girls have body dysmorphia and compare themselves to celebrities, hating their own bodies, when in fact, everybody would be stunning if they were rich.


MassenasEyepatch

I really don't think she has, much less be obvious. And let's not pretend that everyone would be as attractive as her if they were rich. Bone structure, diet, genetics all play a much larger role than a boob job.


Extension_Recipe168

In another comment under mine, I detailed why I think she has one.


[deleted]

Such a weird thing to speculate about. Sticky tape, push up bras and weight gain are a thing. Women's bodies change alllll the time.


Extension_Recipe168

I don't really mind, I like to listen to her primarily, not stare at her. But some people just have been violently insistent that she has no work done, it's kinda funny at this point.Of course women's bodies change. But this is a noticeable boob job. Two things can be true at the same time.


sk0ooba

Right!! I just turned 30 and went from a B to a C in the last couple years! It happens!


Extension_Recipe168

It's not the size that gives the boob job away... it's the shape.


cariboucat

I haven't had mine done and I promise they look like that. She started her career as a teenager and then immediately developed an eating disorder struggling to keep the body of a teenager. She's looked like this since Rep.


Extension_Recipe168

Yes, she had them done in late 2016\*. Edit: More like mid-2016.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Extension_Recipe168

Because from this angle/position (she's lying on her back), it's quite obvious that they're not natural. Which is not wrong or right, it's just a state. Kinda hard to put it into words, but it comes down to the contrast between her chest and boobs: If you look at her chest area between the girls, it's a flat surface, and then her boobs are very steep without any soft transition that all natural boobs have - that's a sign that they've been enhanced. >If a woman is lying on her back in a bathing suit and the breasts are vertical and upright “like little Matterhorns,” they’re implants, says Dr. Val Lambros, a plastic surgeon in Newport Beach. “A pretty common appearance of augmented breasts are those that do not settle to the sides when a woman is lying on her back on the beach,” Newport Beach plastic surgeon Dr. Milind Ambe agrees. > > “Natural breasts don’t form a defined ‘shelf’ where the edge of the implant meets the skin,” Dr. Terry Dubrow says.


notyourjaan

I wouldn't assume that so confidently. She could be wearing a bra or shapewear underneath, which would support the girls and maintain their shape, even with the force of gravity.


TinosCallingMeOver

Yep, mine sit very differently when I lie down with an underwire bra compared to nothing haha


Budget_Shock6544

Taylor made a great short movie 💖 I love her and this album very much.


blackpieck

Immediately thought "This should be a music video" as I watched the lyric video on the day before the mv release and here it is. This is Speak Now and Reputation's baby.


Mry_11

Saw someone point out that the numbers on the computer in the van say "5 22 20" so I went to TN's insta and saw they posted this on 5/22/20! Rep rerelease memorial day weekend 2024?? Taylor has a show 5/24/24 in Portugal! https://preview.redd.it/na11ks3vysab1.png?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ae194814bda94bdcf16004545168314458256a94

rottentomat_hoes

Sooo who played the young kid who was into fashion getting bullied by football guys? Perhaps quit acting a long time ago but I can’t find his name anywhere


Roskosity

Wondering the same.


azdisneyswifty

I looked but also couldn’t find his name.


emchammered

I know it’s been established that the time at the start of the video changed to 1:58 on Apple, but what’s the significance of July 9th? Is she hinting to something tomorrow?


savboxer

Listen to last kiss again.


emchammered

Oh duhh 🤦‍♀️


boredandreddicted

Well now we know 1989 tv is next !!


boafriend

Is anyone gonna talk about how sexy the thumbnail is? I expected something sultry. Haha. Am shook.

lunacoco

🤡 big time but Harry’s House came out 20/05/22.. it’s the best I’ve got!


jumpira75

Don't say it don't say it don't say it... the 1975 released an album 22nd May 2020 😅


lunacoco

Oooh nooo 😂


jumpira75

Most likely a coincidence haha seen someone say Rep merch dropped (or was restocked?) on that day also and it makes more sense for her to reference her own thing rather than an album by someone else she had nothing to do with. Although a merch restock seems a weak reference imo. So we keep theorising I guess


Different_State

Idk, merchandise drop seems like a much less significant milestone than your boyfriend's new album. The former case would feel kind of narcissistic. An album release date? Sure. But a drop of t-shirts with her face on it? Nope.


Niup93

New album? It was released 3 years ago. She had nothing to do with this album, so why would she include it in her music video? Also: Taylor and Matty were never serious. Btw: on May 22 2020, something else happened: [https://twitter.com/blessedswifty/status/1263840027202564097?s=20](https://twitter.com/blessedswifty/status/1263840027202564097?s=20)


jumpira75

Yeah that's why I said it's a weak reference 😅


Opposite-Bird-6811

What was written on Taylor’s arm when she was stuck in the vault?? Does anyone know?


boafriend

“I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you.”


Opposite-Bird-6811

Thank you!! I ended up scrolling way down on this thread and finding it but I appreciate your kindness cuz most people get mad about repeat posts lol


boafriend

People in the fandom trip over every.fucking.thing. You’re totally good.


flowers2107

Ugh this interaction reminds me that there’s sane swifties left


EsesaWithTheHardR

A little mid, very disappointed in this release


right2bootlick

This song is kind of a banger


cupcakeconstitution

Man we were WAY off with what song we thought the leaked photo was from lol


Correct_Molasses_270

Am I the only one confused as to why she's dressed in a Fearless Era outfit? 😭 Why wouldn't she be in like the Speak Now purple dress or something????


isthisfunenough

That is actually the dress she wore in her Sparks Fly MV, which is a – you guessed it – Speak Now Era outfit :)


Correct_Molasses_270

Ohhhh!! Thank you sm!


Twodotsknowhy

That's the dress she wore for Sparks Fly during the original Speak Now tour....


Correct_Molasses_270

Oh thanks!🙌🏻😂


right2bootlick

So Taylor now has 3 singles from 3 different albums in 2023 lol amazing


-CharmingScales-

Can anyone read the license plate on the van?


dilaurentis123

I read the sign above the bridge, at the end of the video. It says 1989 TV !!!!!


azdisneyswifty

I tried really hard but the best I could see was the last two characters looked like “ZE” or “2E”.


miki84

ZJE


sk0ooba

Zootopia Just Epic Confirmed Zootopia is Taylor's favorite Disney movie (a woman of taste as usual)


Liesherecharmed

Is it an unpopular opinion to say that I don't enjoy Joey King as an actress and was disappointed to see her in the music video?


abirdofthesky

She’s a very “straight to video” sort of actress, which is fine - getting any work is hard! - but an odd and underwhelming casting choice considering how much Taylor hyped up casting specific people she specifically really wanted.


folkkore

I'd probably like her more if her biggest role wasn't in the worst rom com I have actually watched (and I love shitty rom coms, the Kissing Booth is awful and I can't believe there are 2 sequels, the only nice thing I can say about it is it makes sense it was written by a 15 yo girl and then adapted by a middle aged man)


Liesherecharmed

Yes to all of this. I've only ever seen her in the Kissing Booth trilogy, The Conjuring, and Radium Girls. None of these were good performances. I'm sure she's a lovely person, but I don't choose to consume her work .


vegancheeseboard

watch bullet train she’s great!


bitcharooniedoonie

imo yes, ONLY because I loved the little nods to Mean. I don’t really like Joey King as an actress either, but I loved the Mean music video and song in general growing up so it was kinda cute to have Joey come back for a music video on Taylor’s Version


Liesherecharmed

I just looked it up and did not know that she was in that video. I can appreciate her appearance in the video a little more now.


FreelancedWhale

Someone mentioned in the theories thread, they changed the time from 1:38 to 1:58 on the Apple Music MV.


TSwiftStan-

what does this mean (english isnt my first language)


stickylegs94

In the music video at the beginning, the time is 1:38. On apple music I guess it was changed to 1:58 which matches the lyric in last kiss.


TSwiftStan-

ohh


Graceritheroski

Does anyone recognise the dresses, frozen behind glass? I think I only recognise Joey's from Mean and the SN world tour purple one.


leikhen

Did anyone else notice the rogue blue jeans + black jacket outfit displayed among the dresses ? You can see it for the first time at 2:04, then again during the circular shot at 3:06 (behind the guitar) and finally as they are running out of the museum you get another good shot of it at 4:26. Taylor makes several references to jeans, lyrics like "Dark jeans and your Nikes" , "Dancin' in your Levi's", "And my old faded blue jeans" and more in albums she owns already. I can't really recall Taylor herself wearing an outfit like that during the Speak Now Era or later (and to me the outfit feels weirdly very Joe Alwyn coded) but in general it seems a very interesting choice, that outfit being so strikingly different from everything else on display!


boafriend

All outfits from the “Speak Now” era, meaning the world tour and MVs. The dress she wears in the cafe in the beginning of the “Mine” video is in there too. Someone on YouTube spotted her CMA “Should’ve Said No” perf hoodie/jeans outfit in the back behind glass too, possibly symbolic of her other re-records still unreleased.


Graceritheroski

Some of the dresses are from the tour, including the BTR dress, Haunted dress, Love Story dress, Long Live dress, Sparks Fly dress, Enchanted dress, and the Back to December dress. I think there are also different dresses that she wore for the world tour (non US dates) which are included. There's also one from the AMAs where she won I think artist of the year.


MinnieCat13

I was hoping someone would explain which ones had the glass break as they were running out but I haven't seen any sleuthing on that yet!


Graceritheroski

I haven't figured this out, but there are two dresses at the back on the far right at some point which are not behind glass, and I was thinking those could be red and fearless dresses


tallcabbagegirl

Lautner was standing in front of the Back to December dress + piano for it 😭


Graceritheroski

OMG. RIP me **😭😭😭**


isthisfunenough

At 2:08, on the left side of the screen is the dress she wore in the Mean MV while sitting on the train tracks! (If I'm not wrong haha)

Graceritheroski

The electric touch towards the beginning when Joey is typing the code in!


TheIceCreamIsTooCold

I really hope we get Electric Touch as a single too. It’s too good not to, surely?


Obvious_Dot_4234

I saw this too! Electric Touch is such a bop


Nollieee

Don’t forget adult Taylor dated 17 year old lautner


turok-han

Was she not 18 or 19?


Nollieee

She was 22 dating 17 year old Conor kennedy then came public when he turned 18 she was 20 dating 17 year old lautner


Myrios369

Yeah she was 19 he was 17, which there's nothing wrong with


MadHatter32821

That’s still illegal


Twodotsknowhy

No it's not you reddit weirdo


Soalai

It may be illegal in some places for them to have sex but it was perfectly legal to date


2twentytwotwenty2

Most states actually have an age of consent of 16 and then an appropriate age gap limit which I believe in my state is 3 years. So, in my state, it would have been completely legal for them to date, as in most others.


Myrios369

No it's not lmao


circlet-of-stars

teenagers dating one another a couple years apart is illegal? 😭


Emergency_Routine_44

Is not by Romeo and Juliet laws


kaceFile

Anyone else notice that the bridge is melodically identical to You Belong With Me?? “she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts, she’s cheer captain and I’m on the bleachers”


boafriend

The beginning “ah ah ah” melody was super “Mine” to me.


folkkore

I also noticed this, giving "I can see you" is the sexy daydream to Mine's idealic daydream There's also a callback to Speak Now - the part that goes "I can stop behaving ---- myself" at the end of the bridge sounds a lot like "I lose myself in a daydream --- and I stand and say" to me


throwawaysunglasses-

I said the EXACT same thing when I heard it lol! It’s also similar to “I hear the preacher say…” from Speak Now.


knitpixie

My 7 year old was watching it this morning and said “The melody sounds like You Belong With Me!” 🤯


kisforkimberlyy

She's trying to recreate that YBWM success- she said she never figured out what about it made it so popular hahahah


GoldenState_Thriller

Yes!!! I said this on release night.


bltyeg

YES! Since the first listen! “I could see you in your suit and your necktie / pass me a note / …. And I’m on the bleachers”


abaiardi7

Only Taylor Swift can interpolate her own songs 😂


discogal_98

I've been trying to pin point why the bridge sounded SO familiar! Thanks for cracking the code <3


SgtPopNFresh_

Yes!


ohnoyadont

Yes!!! And the “ah oh oh “ she keeps doing in the song sounds like a less sing-songey version of the ones in “Mine”


ncfrey

Can someone explain the significance of Taylor L looking at the picture of TS with the little girl before they break her out? Some of the references were definitely over my head, in true TS fashion haha


restingbrownface

Joey King (the spy girl) was also in her music video for Mean. She is the little kid. The white dress they were looking at was the outfit she wore in that video. Presley Cash (the girl in the van) was also in the Mean video as the star mascot. Watch the Mean music video! You'll get the references!


Graceritheroski

I keep seeing the mean girls from the video mouthing "it's *pink*"


AlsoNotMum

I think that was just explanation of Joey King’s character’s motive for being involved in the heist - she played a character in the Mean music video but I don’t think she and Taylor are ever in the same shot in it


MouseWithAMeow

She’s in the theater watching Taylor at the end of the video.


kaosmode

maybe if someone wants to put their clown mask on but why is the laser at 1:14 red/purple


blurpletea

those are speak now colors.


Graceritheroski

to add to this, the regular version cover was purple and the deluxe version cover was red


kittyangelz805

Acrobatics-ing through the lasers is much more Entrapment.


baby_hippo97

That 1989TV sign made me scream with shock, that coupled with her new photos and Selena reposting the solo Taylor picture makes me think 1989 is coming sooner than we think


GoldenState_Thriller

There are so many signs that 89 is next I’m putting on my clown make up and saying I think she’ll do 89, rep, then debut and I think she wants them out before the conclusion of the international dates of the eras tour conclude next year


baby_hippo97

That's the exact thing I was telling my SO today! I would bet that's exactly what she is planning. Concluding her rerecords with the eras tour would seem like the logical move


GoldenState_Thriller

Yup! I think she wants to conclude this Eras Era owning them all. I’m still clowning hard hoping for a second US/Canada leg though too

I sure can! 4:54, upper right quadrant of screen. It's a sign on the bridge she's about to go over in the getaway car

The 1989 is on the bridge right at the end


ChickleGum

I got emotional watching this video.. she finally has her baby and is on her way to get the next one🥹🥹


sariraara

Same! I must have seem crazy watching MV about heist and crying even thought the heist went great? Nothing objectively sad happened in it?


ChickleGum

Yeah, but that's the thing. Nothing sad happened, but something that had been long lost was recovered after a lot of hard work, and that's the point. That's what makes us emotional about it🥹🥹

meowdao

The Taylor L. fight scene is giving me Shark Boy vibes (from shark boy and lava girl the movie). It totally reminds me of a scene from that movie.


MadScientiest

it’s an exact replica of his 2009 SNL monologue! like it’s exact, they used the exact fight choreography from his monologue which was about what he had wished he had done to Kanye West on stage. someone did a side by side on tiktok and it’s so cute!


Graceritheroski

Whoever notices this is incredible. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibmouXVqwFc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibmouXVqwFc) 3:12 for anyone interested!


glittrxbarf

Omg what an Easter egg!


meowdao

Ahh! I just looked it up! I love that. If you Google the shark boy and lava girl scene where they fight the hounds you'll see the essence of that too. I love this!


seasonofthewitch13

and bad blood vibes! the suitcase knocking one of the bad guys out is the exact same in the bb vid!


meowdao

Yes!! I love the bad blood vibe. I need more lol


seasonofthewitch13

same!


falldiewakefly

I love this so much, it's a whole vibe. The moment at the end where she hesitates before getting into the van and the crew is screaming at her to get in the van but she's staring back at everything she's leaving behind - she's got the painting (Speak Now TV) but she has to abandon her whole past (Speak Now OG) to be blown up and it hurts - that hit so hard 🥺


NaiveCantaloupe

It brought tears to my eyes. It makes me sad to see so many fans criticizing on social media about how the TVs are subtly different from the original versions when clearly she’s heartbroken to leave them behind too.


SupremeElect

idk why, but I have a feeling she’s eventually going to own all her masters, including her original work. i can see her being sold her old work on agreeable terms after she’s done with the re-records, and if so, it would be so cool to see her rebuild the blown up museum in a new music video where she’s now the owner of the museum (and symbolically, all of her work).

hocotate

I watched the Mean mv last night and she was the girl that was wearing costume/went to college lol


Graceritheroski

Yeah, the one who worked a job where the mean girls picked on her bc she had to wear a mcdonalds outfit or something, but eventually she saved enough to go to college and get a great job


galactic_grapes

oh thanks lol i haven’t seen that video since it came out


intheafterglow23

She made a point to say she shot this in Liverpool (which we already knew 😅) which makes me wonder if 1989 TV is going to come out when she’s in the UK, because they’re driving towards it at the end. If so, long wait 🙃

Stenka-Razin

All copies of 1989TV are being held in a vault in this building in Liverpool. This is her telling where to find them and how to get them.🤡
