Reclaiming The Muse.

Karlie JUST posted this and it didn't even take me 2 seconds to see that the easter eggs here for Uno (Karlie's Version) are:

1. A blue 5 as the top card because 1989 is Taylor's blue themed 5th studio album, and today is the "This Love" anniversary !!

2. A green 1 and a green 3 paired perfectly over each other to form a 13, this either being for Debut TV or Rep TV as green is considered a color for both but I'd say between the two it's a Debut TV easter egg

3. This is obvious because conveniently no other card numbers are visible in the pile, in fact all the red ones are covered up potentially indictiating leaving the Chiefs beard behind as it connects back to Taylor's original Uno game which was *checks notes*

Transcription of a voice memo my friend sent me about JK and KK. Picture she is referring to, shown below.

“He is so gay. I will literally never get over that picture that you showed me where they both look so gay like I'm I'm sorry the body language the attire the the air like that that is not a straight woman and that is definitely not a straight man like case closed no further testimonies or evidence need be presented.”

The Kaylor conversion starts with one photo. Use it wisely.

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

Imagine being Karlie Kloss in high school listening to “Our Song” having no idea you’ll one day be the muse of at least 5 albums from Taylor Swift

“It would be career su*cide if her fans found out that she lied about everything so why would she do that? She’s obviously straight and y’all are delusional freaks”

Oh you mean like: “what if I roll the stone away, they’re gonna crucify me anyway…”

You mean like “Combat, I’m ready for combat”

You mean like “I can show you lies”

You mean like “I’d rather burn my whole life down than listen to one more second of all this bitchin’ and moaning / I’ll tell you bout my good name, it’s mine alone to disgrace / I don’t cater to all these vipers dressed in empath’s clothing”

You think those are just songs about being in your 30s and not being allowed to date a man / a man not loving you back? That’s wild.

What annoys me about KK haters is she’s played a big part in why Taylor is as good as she is. And why people fawn over the way Taylor writes about love.

Taylor’s a brilliant writer, no matter. And I am in no way minimizing her accomplishments. She would’ve been big with or without Karlie.

But as a tortured poet myself, I can say this:

The better the muse, the better the art. 🌼

I’m not talking talent. I’m talking inspiration!

^and who wouldn’t be inspired by this? 😂

i wanna be LSK but… //

I’m so sorry anon, but I personally find it really funny when people hear the songs where taylor is working through her feelings of being betrayed by Scott B and attribute them to karlie instead.

It’s like finding a man holding a gun standing over a dead body and saying, hang on a minute… what if the real murderer is the victim’s gf… because two of her friends liked a gossipy tweet written by a known shit-stirrer!

that is to say, we know for a fact that taylor felt deeply betrayed by scott b, seeing as he’s verifiably the actual person who sold her masters to scooter, after treating taylor like family since she was very young. it’s pretty self-evident he deserves the level of vitriol in the smallest man who ever lived (besides the other descriptive details that link him to tsmwel, mtr etc).

as for taylor and karlie suddenly never being seen together again (seemingly drifting apart a whole year before the heist even happened, remember?), well she hasn’t spoken on that, so naturally we read between the lines in the songs to find out. some people have taken the masters heist songs to be about karlie, and ran with that. but others see karlie and taylor’s retreat into privacy reflected in songs under the ‘love blackout’ theme (especially around here, you’re on a longtime kaylor blog 🙈)

love blackout = the hints taylor has put out again and again that she intentionally distanced her public image from karlie’s because it was too dangerous to carry on as openly as they had at first. 2016 election sadness themes, secret love themes, all consistent over the years. all while writing new love songs that use callbacks to the rep muse, to yail even 🥺. as if taylor’s been using all the confusion and her masterful quill of misdirection to achieve her priority of protecting karlie. not protecting karlie’s public image and clout with swifties, which she doesn’t need to maintain her success because she was always successful in her own right! no, it’s all for Karlie The Person in their secret bubble of reality. all this showmanship, you know. the great war, hello!!!! too many songs to name where the kaylor chandelier is safely out of sight, but you can still see flickers through the boarded up windows ❣️

so forgive me for having a chuckle. to any anons who sincerely🛸want to believe, I’m just throwing it out there that there are plenty of us that never found the karlie-betrayer theory convincing at all. if you take a closer look at everything, the timeline of events and all the songs since, does it really make sense? (especially when there are so many shitty men in the mix who are more obviously to blame lol)

~ if you post, thank you for facilitating this rant 9wing, I’ll get off my soapbox now xxx

yup yup

i think a lot of people are predisposed to blaming karlie and so everything becomes a sort of confirmation bias.. which partially, i would argue, was by design.. so in a sense i do not fault gaylors or others for falling into this hole. but i do sometimes feel like faulting them a tiny bit for those who never climb out of it. there’s plenty of information and clues needed to figure it out and climb out of it.

one thing i don’t like about the whole “let’s not talk about muses” discourse is while the spirit of it is supposed to be “let’s study why these songs sound gay instead of commenting taylor lyrics on these people’s instagram pages,” in practice the phrasing almost is like giving yourself permission to pass judgement on the people in taylor’s story and then never reevaluate them. people often say ~lets not talk muses that’s invasive and gross~ and conveniently refuse to adjust their perception of karlie (for example) based on what taylor is putting out there, while making convenient exceptions for any interpretation they find that works to reinforce their already negative perception of her. and then after bitching about her they’ll cover their timeline in lisa frank dolphins because apparently that’s what paradise is. i dunno. it all feels dystopian to me atp 😆

Yeahhhh no I’m gonna need to see these two side by side.
