TAYLOR SWIFT 'The Eras Tour' Concert Film premiere, Los Angeles October 11, 2023

“I still wanna have a sharp pen, and a thin skin, and an open mind.”

Saw this tik tok this morning — how do we feel about the cryptic eye message? I’m interested to see where this goes. ;)

The swift Instagram rebrand is giving cryptic and coded— 4,3,2,1 (count down?) or 1342 (some kind of time code or other various potential messaging?)

“This is getting good now—“ it sure is and I’m thinking there’s the possibility of some kind of surprise whether that’s a deluxe version, double drop, music video, Easter egg, etc. Interesting…

I also have been thinking about the lyrics and writing that Taylor Swift has been leaving on her stories to count down to today. I know they’re lyrics from the songs BUT Is it possible we’re getting more vault tracks or do the specific CDs have extra songs specific to them?

**update bad blood fr Kendrick Lamar dropped**

Either way, another successful drop for @taylorswift and @taylornation <3

Night all! 🩵✨

They’re playing taylor swift all you was stay at the bar I’m at. My life is complete.

Say you’ll remember her standing in a blue dress, releasing Wildest Dreams (Taylor's Version), babe. Our first glimpse of 1989 Taylor's Version came 2 YEARS AGO today! The memories of ~the glitch~ and her wink still follow us around. 👀🩵

Taylor Swift - 1989 (Taylor's Version)

Pre-order the new album, out October 27!

I wouldn’t proclaim myself a “Toë truther” but it’s crazy knowing that during the pandemic they lived together…especially since during that time Taylor wrote two of her best pieces of work ever. Folklore and Evermore.

It is rumored that Zoë Kravitz helped write and produce some of those songs and for gaylors that’s HUGE. These albums are championed for their subtle queer coding in songs like Betty, Ivy, Seven, This is Me Trying, etc.

Zoë Kravitz has not come out exclusively as queer but has definitely made it clear that she walks to the beat of her own drum stating her role as Catwoman in Batman was definitely bisexual.

I speculate that if Zoë was living with Taylor and Joe at the time of global shut down it isn’t too far of a stretch to think that the true identity of ‘William Bowery’ isn’t Joe as Taylor proclaims in the long pond sessions. Especially since, Joe is properly credited as a producer on a good portion of the songs…why wouldn’t they just add his name as such to the writing credits?

Moreover,

William Bowery appears in Exile, Evermore, Betty, Coney Island, and Champaign Problems (excluding songs from most recent album midnights including lavender haze, maroon, bejeweled, anti-hero and more)

— I find it interesting that Joe would be so inclined to help write songs about the potential downfall of their own relationship…discussing topics of declining an engagement, being in exile from the one you supposedly loved, apologies, and longing—only to (public ally) break up at the start of the Eras Tour where Taylor sings about being so in love it doesn’t matter and wanting to stay in her own lavender haze.

I will admit I’m newer to this theory and do not have all the details to fully confirm my thought, but with subjects as they’re represented in Folklore and Evermore it’s hard to see how a cis-straight white man would ever have enough experience to discuss secrecy, forbidden love, and other difficult themes that Taylor holds deeply to her heart.

What do you think?

After @taylornation ‘s most recent post I believe there will be a Cruel Summer music video.

I am not sure when but, it’s been all the talk. I am so glad cruel summer is finally getting it’s moment as a single!!

“Mondays forecast: Cruel Summer dance breaks ☀️🪩👯‍♀️🤍”

I cannot even begin to dive into this very small Ye seemingly important caption.

It is known that Taylor has referred to Karlie as sunshine many many times. She’s specifically mentioned in the VOGUE friendship video that Karlie reminds her of the sun emoji. ☀️

But this is common information right? Same with knowing that Taylor Swift sees herself as a mirrorball.— The popular song from folklore reveals:

“I’m still trying everything, to keep you looking at me.”

Taylor is always constantly reinventing herself to stay ‘relevant’ shifting her look, sound, and lyrics to create meaningful work.

This lyric and song can also hint at the idea that she’s changed herself for her partners—seeking approval from all the wrong places or people.

— These two emojis being followed up by the gal pals 👯‍♀️ emoji isn’t shocking. If sunshine and the mirrorball already represent Karlie and Taylor then it’s easy enough to understand that those two things together equal their long history as ‘best friends’ — the white heart, however, doesn’t have a clear explanation. (And if there is one I don’t know it)

Here’s my take:

White is often a color associated with reflection, purity, light, cleanliness and even hope.

Knowing her next re-release is 1989 (and that karlie originally was the first person to listen to 1989) I have a feeling that they’re referencing being CLEAN. Reflecting on the pairs past relationship and falling out.

This song is incredible! My take is that it’s about recovering from losing someone close to you, whether that’s a partner or not. Longing for the feelings they once gave you and how addicting and tantalizing it was:

“10 months sober I must admit, Just because you’re clean don’t mean you don’t miss it.”

For me this combination of emojis briefly captures the idea of a relationship that has come back together after a drought. Potentially this reunion (not only at the tour) could mean there will be some kind of part the Karlie will play in a Cruel Summer music video!!!

As many of us gaylors know—Cruel summer bears a striking resemblance to the storyline and imagry of their time in NYC: sneaking in through garden gates every night to seal their fates.

Do you think there will be a cruel summer video?

This is so accurate...
