And Baby IIIIII Get Mystifieddddd By How This City.screams.your.name

I've always been fascinated by Taylor's lyrics that imply friends to lovers and childhood/teenage sweethearts trajectory and creating a story that spans decades and eras..

And while many of her earlier songs may be written for some other paramours, I still have so many lingering questions/thoughts

Taylor’s first time attending a runway show was Tommy Hilfiger’s Spring/Summer 2010 in September 2009—and funny enough, it was also one of Karlie’s shows. They both wore the same shade of red too. After that, a lot of the fashion shows Taylor showed up to either had Karlie walking in them or had her at the same parties. Some of these appearances even happened in the middle of Taylor’s tours, during those rare one-week breaks—she’d spend them in NYC, Paris, or sometimes London (I think?).

In one interview, Taylor mentioned spending a lot of holidays in St. Louis because some of her relatives still live there—side note: her grandma Marjorie actually grew up in STL.

Karlie showed up at the 2013 Grammys before she and Taylor were publicly seen together in November that year. It was right in the middle of New York Fashion Week—she flew to LA for the Grammys after walking some shows, then flew straight back to keep walking more. I know she was there for MTV’s House of Style, but I still wonder why that was such a priority. Also, Taylor performed “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” that night.

“Wildest Dreams” was written in October 2013 (so... who exactly was tall and handsome as hell back then?). “How You Get the Girl” came in January 2013. And “You Are in Love” was written and recorded in January 2014, before Big Sur. So yeah, the 1989 timeline is kinda sketchy.

And when Karlie went to the Eras Tour, she wore a bracelet with an “Enchanted” charm. Like… if you supposedly have songs linked to you from five or six different albums, why choose that bracelet?

For her first Vogue US feature Taylor was documented saying "I love Karlie Kloss. I want to bake cookies with her" unprompted by the interviewer. Others would consider this a soft-launch.

Also—how does she even calculate all those 8s and 3s? There’s no way those are just random coincidences.

Why hide as early as that? And why were the other girls not as hidden and didn't really require an elaborate soft-launch

👀👀👀

karlie specifically placing & tilting the 🇬🇧❤️ to be right next to the T on her story is so intentional 😭

hahaha i didn’t notice that

The way Karlie doesn’t bat an eye because holding hands is just something that they do. And Taylor is just so damn happy and proud. 😭

You know what I think? Taylor and Karlie would have been out together a LONG time ago if it wasn’t for her father/team/label. Especially with kissgate. She was so, so happy that night. Drunk, yes. But free. And if her team wasn’t such assholes, they would have just let them be. Let them continue on, showing the world the truth.

She regrets not fighting harder. She regrets that THEY took Karlie away from her publicly. And maybe the girls did think it was worth going into a love blackout for a while, especially after the election. Maybe that was their new normal so that they could grow their family in peace. But it came at a cost. Taylor hates what she has to do to hide it, to entertain the fans that refuse to see what she’s been SCREAMING.

So, now, they made this decision to keep giving hint after hint, Easter egg after Easter egg. They’re not that secretive. It probably makes them so happy to be able to do that for themselves and the tiny corner of this fandom that sees them. So, to protect that against the masses, there has to be a showmanship distraction, even if it kills her soul. Because her fans have shown time and time and time again, they only look at the very very surface level of what she’s showing. Not listening to what she’s actually saying.

red, maroon, etc..

Swifties once again proving they will always miss the point by miles by making Taylor’s music about Some Guy when it’s always been about Taylor and her journey. Talk about a travisty. 😉

Before anyone comes with that quote that y’all love to dig up from the time capsule:

She’s always been an ally to the LGBTQ community. She just never made it a spectacle as a lot of her peers do. This is the same person who insinuated Joe Alwyn encouraged her to speak up about US politics.

Taylor Swift isn’t stupid—she’s aware of the implications of her actions. This awareness has helped her to be as successful as she is. Why do you think she made that speech about her concerts being a safe space when she got backlash for “dating” MH? Him allegedly being on Slut! and removed?

Y’all love to take that quote and twist it into a narrative about being naive.

Don’t forget how she also said gay pride makes her her.

How she had a gay pride parade in the Me! video.

How she said “spelling is fun” as a way to ask if she has to spell it out, but y’all didn’t get it, so she took it out of the song.

How at TIFF, she gave a veiled statement about closeting and people laughed thinking she was making a joke. Her reaction to the laughter.

Look at how many of y’all say the Lover era was her worst era fashion wise. It’s interesting, because she was wearing a lot of rainbow in that era.

Y’all love to forget that.

Y’all also love to bring up Hayley Kiyoko and Lil Nas X as examples of why Taylor can just “come out” and won’t see any backlash.

When Hayley and Nas began their careers, they began them as out queer artists and not in country music. Nas is an openly queer artist in the hip hop industry and by all really think he has it easy?

Taylor could’ve easily still been dominating country music. But she chose to leave that genre of music. She would’ve never been able to do an album like 1989, folklore or evermore in that genre because she wouldn’t have had the lyrical freedom. She had to fight Scott Borchetta for 1989 to even be what it is.

Exactly this.

Also, I would like to add a question to swifties who refuse to see her.

What do you think this moment during anti-hero on tour is about? Why do you think she has a gigantic version of herself literally screaming at people in the audience to LOOK AT HER while the version of her on stage is performing? What could possibly be the explanation for this?

Renaissance Story from an Elder

In 2022, over dinner chatting about music, a good girlfriend casually dropped “have you heard of Gaylor and that one theory is that Reputation is actually about Karlie Kloss?” Record scratch- What?! 🤯I need to know more as this did not line up with what I had thought.

After departing dinner, late into the night I dove into her suggested podcasts, PowerPoints, and blogs. I fell hard and fast through the rabbit hole! 🐇🕳️!

Now I hate to admit this but I had gone through life just casually listening to music, not really reading and analyzing lyrics, themes or parallels in an artists discography. I was bad at remembering lyrics, often singing the wrong words, so I just never dug past the surface….until my 👀 came upon ALL OF THIS on Kaylor Tumbler!

As a former lurker of a few of your beautiful Kaylor blogs, in 2023 I felt the need to go off anon in order to “heart” just about every post I saw and contribute to the konversations.

Never in my life, would I have thought I’d find a such a welcoming, smart, witty, beautiful niche community on Tumbler (I didn’t even know what this site was until I fell down in the 🐇🕳️)

Still with reading?! Great, now the most beautiful part 🌈!

Through all this deep dive into Kaylor history and current Kaylor, bearding, learning so much about queer flagging, queer history & cultural references and starting to listen, really listen, to more queer artists, IG algorithms doing their thang, seeing so many representations of the LGBTQIA community, I had some honest conversations with myself and finally admitted that I was not 100% straight.

Look I had some fun in my 20’s and there were many alcohol-infused situations that sober me would chalk up to being under the influence and moved on with hetero life.

After going through a few months of a 2023 sober-curious journey, simultaneously while Kaylor’ing, I just knew I couldn’t explain away some resurfaced 🌈 feelings. I needed to be honest with myself and my spouse of 17 years, that I am beautiful bi. 🌈

I haven’t lost any love or attraction to my husband at all and this vulnerable realization has only made our relationship stronger. He is so supportive and I am so thankful, what a relief off my mind.

I guess to sum it up, witnessing one of the greatest love stories unfold is truly an honor, like we’re in a secret club.

Kaylor has helped me become a more honest, educated, understanding, and empathetic person! With the deepest gratitude I thank this community! I’m so excited for what may unfold in the coming months & years.

Here to stay and Gay for Tay!
