I Feel So Silly For Not Noticing This Before?? I Haven’t Seen Anyone In Tumblr Bring Up These Parallels

I feel so silly for not noticing this before?? I haven’t seen anyone in tumblr bring up these parallels

Thanks for this link @thefvckingswanqueen . I never noticed the Baz Luhrman tag too! 😲

Wait, i think there was a really good post days ago about something like this! Of TS x The Great Gatsby! I just can't remember which blog (if anyone has a link? 😭)

Sidenote: I guess i love how apparent F. Scott Fitzgerald's (author of The Great Gatsby) influence is to Taylor, which we could see through her work! The parallels in some of the songs, and the Daisy theme ☺️

Songs:

Feeling so Gatsby for the whole year - TIWWCHNT

Don't blame me love made me crazy ... Lord save me my drug is my baby I've been using for the rest of my life .. Halo, hiding my obsession - Don't Blame Me

I Feel So Silly For Not Noticing This Before?? I Haven’t Seen Anyone In Tumblr Bring Up These Parallels
I Feel So Silly For Not Noticing This Before?? I Haven’t Seen Anyone In Tumblr Bring Up These Parallels

(Taylor's fav quote from This Side of Paradise by Fitzgerald)

I once was Poison Ivy, but now I'm your daisy - Don't Blame Me

There are 2 stories by Fitzgerald where the main love interest was named Daisy: Daisy Buchanan (The Great Gatsby) + Daisy Fuller (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - Benjamin the cat's namesake too!)

I hope she'll be a beautiful fool, who takes my spot next to you - Happiness

All you want from me now is the green light of forgiveness - Happiness

The line from Daisy Buchanan "a fool, that's the best thing a girl can be in this world". The green light can be a reference to a traffic light, but also to the Green Light symbolism in The Great Gatsby ...

And if i'm not mistaken, Fitzgerald was also a veteran - WWI (The Great War) - as is Jay Gatsby!

This is good news but I can't help but be pessimistic. What are the chances she gets a new beard?

Who knows. She has an easy excuse to be single. Free after six years and busy on tour.

But I get your concern because we went from CH to Tom in a matter of days.

I think we need to revisit this poem now that Taylor is free. Any of you smart, analytical people want to give this another look:

Speech before singing Mine (talking about Speak Now)

I talk a lot about how folklore was the first time I was writing about characters and stuff, but actually Speak Now I was inventing scenarios that definitely weren't happening in my life. I wrote this song Speak Now about interrupting a wedding of an ex and like.. I was 18 when I wrote that. None of my exes were getting married. I never interrupted a wedding, it was just a fantasy. And I think that's one of my favorite things about Speak Now, it was so fantasy, it was so fantastical, I think it was the first time I was thinking in cinematic, you know 'this isn't my life', but what if it were? Like watching a movie, and trying to write what those characters might be feeling. I say this because I wanna play a song, that when I wrote it I was writing about all these relationship things that haven't happened to me. There's drawer of my things at your place, and thing like that. And working through fights and not just breaking up. Anyway, so those were things I was not par-taking in at 18 and 19, when I wrote these songs. It's been such a privilege and such a treat to go back and re-record them 'cause relating to them now.. it's really crazy to go back and listen to these songs that at the time were a fantasy but now feel really relatable to me. And um... this is called MINE.

The Gold / Invisible String in Bejeweled mv?

Ok i got to re-watching Bejeweled to start my weekend, and idk if this is intentional but i love how when the prince's portrait was shown, a white thread (not gold/yellow) was also in the shot:

The Gold / Invisible String In Bejeweled Mv?

Which is the contrast to the (golden) invisible string string shown in Willow, which ofc we already know had a callback here at the beginning of the Bejeweled music video:

The Gold / Invisible String In Bejeweled Mv?

The "Gold" that she followed here was when the golden pocket watch appeared in front of her. "Exile expires in 3.. 2.." leading to a Golden elevator, which takes her to each floor, different eras. (Eras tour egg? also does this mean speak now will be released before the tour..)

The Gold / Invisible String In Bejeweled Mv?

On her journey after following the "Gold" she stops at the 5th floor (1989 era / 2014) and meets a woman.. (which also reminds me of the fishbowl scene/blue room in the lover house)

The Gold / Invisible String In Bejeweled Mv?

The Gold / Invisible String In Bejeweled Mv?

As already mentioned by people before, the scene with the cocktail drinks, might be a callback to Delicate's lyrics:

This ain't for the best / My reputation's never been worse, so / You must like me for me / We can't make any promises / Now can we, babe? / But you can make me a drink

Oh, damn, never seen that color blue

But let's not forget that Delicate also connects to Invisible string's lyric!

Delicate (2017):

Dive bar on the East Side, where you at? / Phone lights up my nightstand in the black / Come here; you can meet me in the back

Invisible String (2020):

A string that pulled me / Out of all the wrong arms right into that dive bar / Something wrapped all of my past mistakes in barbed wire / Chains around my demons, wool to brave the seasons / One single thread of gold tied me to you

So yeah, to summarize, she met her "Gold" / Invisible String at a Delicate time during the (pre) 1989 era?
