I once again come to you as the Kaylor jewelry expert with a detailed question.

When did Karlie start wearing the Cartier onyx necklace? I know she wore it to the rep tour show in Nashville in August 2018, but was she seen wearing it before that?

hi anon! thank you for the question 😌

back in june 2018 karlie went on a back to back trip to japan and then shanghai. she can be seen wearing the amulette de cartier in japan (josh was there) from june 11th, if you look closely through her instagram stories. she’s more clearly documented wearing it in shanghai starting on june 15th (she was alone for this leg).

her engagement was announced a little more than a month later. iirc, there was word on the street (online rumors) a few weeks before it was announced on july 24, that they were getting engaged. i guess that if you were to believe this official narrative, you might think the amulette was an engagement gift from josh that she could wear without the news getting out by wearing her ring. but my goodness, a symbol of protection during difficult times seems to be an odd choice as an engagement present (who pops the question with a necklace that’s a lucky charm made for times that require strength of heart against all odds?!)

so I’m sure you can see how this lends itself perfectly to the kaylor narrative.

*to provide some meta context, their trip to japan was at the time very painful for kaylors. the two were acting lovey dovey at a time when many were convinced they were about to break up, and they appeared very intimate (had holding/cheek kissing) with each other in ways they really hadn’t in years prior. i think at the time, some saw this bump in pda as writing on the wall that an engagement rather than a breakup was coming. at the time i was a holdout but in hindsight, given the symbolic value of the amulette, it feels that way. btw all this was happening right after taylor got very very loud in spring 2018, when rep tour started and she debuted the rainbow dress and delicate pride speech and we had the caticorn rainbow ad, and so it was distressing at the time how it was like one step forward, two steps back for kaylor. but in hindsight, sheesh, simpler times!

so karlie wore the amulette a whole lot between the end of june and end of sep 2018. most memorably, i would say, to NYC pride and of course when she went to rep tour nashville.

iirc the last time she was seen wearing it in 2018, on sept 28 2018? and she changed her IG profile picture to a picture with her wearing it, and it stayed like that for what feels like it was about a year. then of course we have taylor’s october 2018 AMA performance where there was this big set piece that looked so much like the amulette.. and a nod to it in 2019 as the little peephole on the door to the lover house

while it remained karlie’s profile picture for a long time, karlie didn’t post new photos of her wearing it again until march 2020, another time of difficulty for her with her fans (controversies about her kushner/white house connections in the early days of the pandemic and in an election year) she continued wearing it off and on, notably during her pregnancy, including in the pregnancy announcement video.

so yeah, you can see how these two periods of time have some thematic similarities for her—pivotal life moments both taking things to a new level—and how the amulette and everything it stands for just adds to the symbolism of it all… 🫠

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

“https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRWctANb/“

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

(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!

Here’s how I see things.

1) Karlie and Josh doing pap walks, changing clothes, taking more photos, then spreading them out, pretending to live in an empty apartment, barely any furniture, no personal photos

2) That’s not normal if they’re a real couple

3) Karlie and Taylor flag each other constantly, through Easter eggs from Karlie (and only Karlie), through Taylor’s music videos and lyrics and tour designs, not to mention clothes

4) Taylor also sings about a secret relationship, how “romance is not dead if you keep it just yours”, how they survived the Great War and that she “will always be yours” and a 2,190 day love blackout

5) She also flags about being proud of your buns and “give you my wild, give you a child” and babies and “I think there are a million ways you can mother someone and be mother” and “new family members” both times time Karlie has been pregnant.

6) That’s not normal if Karlie and Taylor AREN’T real

(and that’s just the tiny little portion that makes it simple for me, everything else is gravy)

She’s unhinged with a degree of plausible deniability 💀

🚨 repost! reblog! retweet!!!! 🚨

#louder for the people in the back 📢

Just giggling about the double standard between Taylor and Karlie. Karlie is expected to uphold insane standards and expectations especially when it comes to being associated with toxic men. But Taylor is just having fun and being silly it’s all a part of her journey. It’s just funny.
