Louis & Taylor Are Best Gay Besties.

Coffee for Two...

I don’t like a gold rush, gold rush

I don’t like anticipating my face in a red flush

I don’t like that anyone would die to feel your touch

Everybody wants you, everybody wonders what it would be like to love you

Walk past

Quick brush

I don’t like slow motion, double vision in rose blush

I don’t like that falling feels like flying

‘Til the bone crush

Everybody wants you

But I don’t like a gold rush

hey, 9w1! hope you're having a great day.

genuine question, no intention to debunk or anything, just curious:

so, karlie is a model, right? that means, it's a part of her job to wear all the newest clothes and accessories, and then those stuff get sold to other people eventually, right?

isn't it possible that karlie possibly just has worn all of the new stuff already and it is a coincidence that some of those new stuff were bought by taylor because they're trendy or being sold at shops now? would it be likely that karlie and other celebs have matched clothing too coincidentally?

(disclaimer: i have no clue about how modelling or clothes work, i just saw a more eloquent version of this argument against koincidences/kaylor a while back, and wanted to hear your perspective on it. thanks!)

thanks for your question!

from my perspective, i think that this argument can work as an explainaway for a certain number of instances, but i do not believe it covers the breadth and depth of what we consider twinning.

because it’s not just about what taylor wears after karlie (or visa versa), but when, or for what special occasions, or the particular time elapsing between when things happen, or what taylor is doing while she is wearing said thing, similarity in composition, etcetera. and it’s seeing these things happen time and again, in aggregate, over time, and in combination with all the many other things we look at when we think about kaylor. whittling it all down to the point that models wear clothes before they are trendy is a little dismissive of the thought, intricacy, and planning that we as a fandom also laude taylor for in the same breath. taylor is a mastermind genius who says herself she hides easter eggs in clothing and jewelry… except for anything related to karlie?? hmm.

that is to say, while these explanations against twinning might be convincing if considered in a vacuum, they lack a consideration of the particular context of kaylor, and how people view taylor and karlie’s relationship.

for example, if the argument is to be made that taylor hates karlie and that they are feuding, it is so curious to me how she seemingly incorporates looks that are strikingly similar to what karlie wears into her art (music videos, live performances) which everyone can agree are personal and important to taylor. and if we get into some of the more intricate gaylor insistencies that taylor is broken hearted and karlie is just doing this to make money, well first of all how rude karlie is an established supermodel and businesswoman and it’s not even worth the investment to try and excite several dozen broke tumblr kaylors into spending money 😆 i can go more into detail on this point but i’m not exactly in the mood to throw down rn so i’ll leave it at that for the time being.

now, i recognize that this kind of thing will not do it for some people. and that’s fine! different types of things are compelling to different types of people. for me, as someone who was quite skeptical of twinning at first (back in 2017-18 when i first encountered kaylor), i’ve become quite taken by it all over the course of the last 4-5 years through the act of keeping tabs on it.

i encourage you or anyone curious but not swayed by twinning to take a look through these posts, and maybe keep it in the back of your mind for the time being. maybe at some point it will click!

👗 same designer, similar anniversary timing (johanna ortiz, lover release week 2019, lover release anniversary week 2022) 🪩 same timing, sim

so real, i’m damned if i do give a damn what people say

just remembering how karlie posted this on october 26, 2014, the eve of 1989's midnight release, kind of implying that she was out of the country (but she was actually snapped by a fan in nyc with taylor)

but the fact that she chose this particular picture... with (her?) hands making our girl's signature heart sign which she became so known for that it's practically unofficially copyrighted by the Taylor Swift™ brand....

my tears ricochet - t.s.

There was so much theatricality in the darkness of reputation. It was a love story, but it was also filled with angst, rebellion and this vengeful taking back of your life.

How Taylor herself told us about Kaylor?

In the folklore: the long pond studio sessions, before singing the lakes, Taylor said “we’d gone to the lake district in England, a couple of years ago” without explaining the “we” word.

The interview was taken in 2020, so “a couple of years ago” means:

Taylor and the person, in my opinion, her lover, went to the Lake District in 2017 or 2018. 

While the lyrics of invisible string says

bold was the waitress on our three-year trip getting lunch down by the Lakes she said I looked like an American singer

Remember how Taylor wrote poems and they had pressed flowers on them?

From a young age, Emily Dickinson collected and pressed flowers and included them in a book she kept, and also poems she wrote. She became a lifelong gardener and often included dried flowers in her letters. Nature and botany were important subjects in her poetry.

“In accordance with the prevailing floral language of her time, Emily associated various flowers with certain friends, family members and lovers. Her beloved blooms inspired metaphors, gave her images, “themes, narrative tropes, and an elaborate and rich language that related her to other artists.” Indeed, Emily called her poems “blossoms of the brain,” and not surprisingly, she was more widely known in her village as a gardener than a poet.” (X)
