do you guys not find it strange that for all the shots taylor took at her fans on this album, she left the gaylors alone for the most part, beyond the lyric "fell victim to interlopers glances" which is not exclusive to that side of the fandom????? like she addressed everything except her sexuality. if she really was as bothered as some of yall claim, would this not be the perfect album to lay the rumors to rest once and for all, on an album where half the tracks are calling out her fame? idk i just think its telling that we learned so many things this album that the gaylors picked up on first. 🤷🏻♀️

The outfit that Karlie was wearing in London in the picture with the phonebooth also looks pretty similar to Taylor and Post's matching outfits in the Fortnight MV 🙈
yuppppppp🥰

no expectations of this happening but the idea of her selling an album to the hetlors though presale and then the album being explicitly, undeniably gay does make me incredibly happy
Do you think this album was a test, to see if anyone would buy an album about someone nobody likes? Mh was pretty unpopular but this is her best selling album…
I don’t see it as a test because her diehard fans (and most people) bought the album before we knew the public narrative would be connected to him.

So I was googling around the way I do when a new album drops, just to see if there's any connection between the lyrics and a certain someone. When you Google "Karlie Kloss" and "Robin" together, you get links to a poet Karlie admires that she met 5 years ago (interesting on its own) and articles about the announcement of Karlie's second pregnancy. If you assume "Robin" is code in the same way "dancing in your Levi's" was, this is something I was half expecting.
What struck me as interesting was the reason these articles were returning as results. It was because US Weekly were gushing about how they got the exclusive reveal of the Jerklie relationship, back in 2012. If you ignore the gushing about their "love" and actually read the article though, US Magazine claims the couple didn't have their first public outing together until A YEAR later, when they attended The Robin Hood Foundation together on May 13th 2013. Has this date ever been in the frame as a potential contract renewal date?
I don't want to get anyone's hopes up for the millionth time, but this makes a May renewal date seem likely to me. It also would mean a potential divorce announcement around the time of Met Gala would come a year after the pregnancy announcement, which is common for lavender break-ups when children are involved. And I think after seven years of "marriage"? (The seven year itch?) I know we've all been thinking October, for the fake wedding anniversary, but what if it's: May 1st for the contract expiry and "separation" announcement, then "divorce finalized" in October, when the last of the stories about their fake custody battle breaks? (Thinking about the Jophie break up as a guide here. An ugly custody battle would be the perfect excuse for Taylor to step in as support again, and would also give a reason for why the kids are never again seen with the Kushner family.)
You don't have to publish this if you don't want to open up that can of worms again (I don't really either, as people struggle not to have strong feelings about it) but I thought I'd send it as something to keep an eye on, maybe. The "Robin" reference in that article feels like it may have been done for SEO purposes, so that people searching Karlie's name with "Robin" would find it.

This is a fantastic ask! As for the month of MAY, I just have to say, Oh My Gosh!!!
Our dear friend ♠️ referenced MAY so many times ... so many times! We noticed this back then, and we were always looking forward to the month of May, thinking there may be a Jerk/KK split finally coming, but it never happened. Here are some examples:
♠️ May love find you wherever you are. - 02/14/2019
♠️ Thank you and may love find you wherever you are. - 03/18/2019
♠️ May love find you every day. - 05/03/2019
♠️ May love find you. - 05/06/2019
♠️ I must go, but may love always find you. - 07/14/2019
♠️ Oh my sunflower, how you shine. Darling, nothing can put out your light! May you stay bright forevermore. - 07/31/2019
♠️ In secret or sight, may you and your lover find gratitude for one another. - 11/28/2019
♠️ May you always hold on to hope. - 4/18/2020
♠️ As we step into a much brighter future, may we always hold onto the memories and each other. With all I am, Spade ♠️. | - 7/19/2020
Add in that she has the Ace of ♠️'s on her forehead, too!

The Alchemy is about the Super Bowl. She announced the album a week before. It's not on the Anthology and was pressed on vinyl and CD. This song would've had to have been recorded much before February to make it to the standard edition. Either Taylor had the most faith ever, or she paid their way to the SB. As both a Swiftie and a football fan, I fully believe it's the second one.

Just thinking about the line from My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys:
I'm queen of sandcastles he destroys
A lot of people have touched on Taylor using castles and palaces as a symbolic representation of her career, body of work, specifically those stolen works and versions of herself. They're locked away in a high tower and separated from Lover - TTPD Taylor.
The tension at the end of Bejeweled, when she walks smiling onto her balcony only to quickly show her castle on fire was, in my opinion, easily overlooked. Was she burning it down or had it already been burning down without her noticing? A stone castle on fire would require some orchestration.
Fast forward to TTPD, the line above from MBOBHFT stuck with me because the "boy" here is destroying her sandcastle. Sandcastles are a study in impermanence. We build them as an incredibly basic recreation of the real, impenetrable, almost indestructable thing. But we do so knowing they can't last, they won't. Eventually the tide will wash them clean away or the wind will erode at the structure until it turns back into sand.
That means "the boy" in question is preemptively destroying something that wasn't supposed to be forever anyway.
The first thing about this song that lit up my brain like a firework was the lyrical parallel to Cruel Summer. I mean, if Taylor uses the word "toy" in a song you know it's gonna be sassy af, ok? A girl takes notice.
Fever dream high in the quiet of the night
You know that I caught it
Bad, bad boy
Shiny toy with a price
You know that I bought it
--------------------
The sickest army doll
Purchased at the mall
Rivulets descend my plastic smile
But you should've seen him
When he first got me
My boy only breaks his favorite toys
Now, I have had my speculations (as have many others) about Cruel Summer not being a love song, but a PR-ing song. I almost immediately thought the same of MYBOBHFT.
Fortunately, the Barbie movie covers a lot of ground for the "why is using a kind of Barbie-Ken like dynamic excluding a romantic narrative?" Because she's Barbie, he's just Ken, Ken is basically an accessory. Anyway I think this song is absolutely talking about several people or experiences/problematic Hollywood structures etc. in a very smart twisting narrative.
"Fever dream" is playful here in the same way she uses "sickest. " The doll isn't sick and the narrator of Cruel Summer isn't running a temperature. "Shiny toy" and "sickest army doll" feel like even clearer parallels — one "with a price / You know that I bought it" and the other "purchased at the mall." I like the reversal of "You know that I caught it" and "When he first got me" because catching isn't as active as buying. Something happens to you if you catch a fever or something is thrown at you - and that feels like an entirely different he that "got" her. Another play on words because that sounds like ownership and tricking.
I was so confused by sickest army doll at first because she sings it in such a (Lana coded) morose way. I was trying to imagine a sickly Army Barbie? But I think the smart way she's written these lyrics (please read her lyric booklets they are incredibly sneaky, brilliant works of poetry) she's not referring to the "me" as an army doll. In fact what's an "army doll" little kids think are rad? Hm... a G.I. Joe?
The bait and switch of it all, the sandcastle-like metaphors, continue with the above. It sounds like "there were so many reasons why we should have been together forever." But word choice is where this poet shines.
"Litany" is one of those words that always registers to me a "a list" but it's actually got religious roots (of course - this album has so much of that): a form of prayer used in services and processions, and consisting of a number of petitions.
It can also mean "a prolonged or tedious account," which is why you hear an expression like "litany of complaints"... Got it so you had a tedious amount of prayers and petitions *checks notes* for why you could have "played for keeps" THIS. TIME. Have there been other times? Oh right, yes, she's "just repeating herself."
Play for keeps is another one of those terms we use, but don't always know it's full definition. One such definition is "to do something seriously and without showing any mercy."
This sounds less like holding onto a lover who wanted to leave or mistreated you, though I think that should also another lens to view this story... perhaps change lover to authority figure... and more like two people who struck an agreement (one that upheld some good christian values?? too far?) to battle something together... and one of them couldn't stick it out. Perhaps because "he saw forever so he smashed it up"? He was a Bolter too.
So she just wants to be put back on her shelf so she can go through the cycle all over again. In fact, pull a string and she'll repeat the lines she knows so well. Copy+paste.
"I used to switch out these Kens, I'd just ghost" to "I felt more when we played pretend / Than with all the Kens" with her GI Joe? I mean lumping a "lover" into a category with Kens and any kind of doll purchased isn't the most loving way to refer to them lol. And I can't help but notice she's only ever played pretend with all the Kens. But what do you do with your shiny toy when they don't want to play anymore?
The lyric video is simple, but each line comes up one at a time and "breaks," floating pieces falling out of frame. At the end we pan down to see the collected debris.
A pit of broken words.
Also worth noting you can see among the blurred graveyard of words a couple of them are crisp/hidden. They're "Boy breaks his only favorite" or "favorite only"... or his Favourite?
Anyway, we come back 'round to the sandcastle metaphor that got me started. I don't think Taylor's princess castle and her sandcastle are a perfect one to one match symbolically. A stone castle was built with the intention of lasting forever, if it catches on fire that would be surprising... more akin, to me, to her career or Taylor TM?
A sandcastle, however, can't last forever, it's not meant to, but you still build it knowing that. Like an arrangement, contract, role, etc. business or otherwise. For someone to snuff out a sandcastle before time or tides or the inevitable does that for you seems needlessly harsh. Even a short-lived imitation can mean something if you enjoyed building it. In fact, that's the only part that gets to live on once a sandcastle is washed away. And it seems like even that part was ruined.

Some Swiffers have ZERO idea about typical child development milestones and it shows, Aaron's son is a typical 9 years old, and the kid Taylor is singing about in Robin is *way* younger than 9 going by typical milestones for children, I'm talking toddler age young.
Somebody needs to stop these cranky little 14 year olds from opening their mouths just to say the stupidest shit ever to adults with critical thinking skills that actually know how children work, can we get like a baby sitter in here to control these little assholes or something, like damn I've had enough 💀
Ok this is such a good point—toddlers say higher and higher when they are being pushed on a swing. They babble at themselves. 9 year olds are insane and play fortnight and so YouTube dances and yell safety when they fart—I own one so I know
I agree a ton of younger fans do struggle but unfortunately the amount of wine mom accounts I’ve seen spewing this shit is high as well

this post is for any swiftie who is on the fence about this, or anyone who has heard about kaylor for the first time. please allow me a few minutes of your time.. pretty please with a cherry on top? i see you. ready to scroll past this. please. in this moment. please. give it a read. two years ago i was right where you were. please look this time. it is so important to what is going on now and taylor needs you to understand fully about scooter.
we are at a turning point. taylor’s life’s work was just bought up by scooter braun and it is important for everyone to read this perspective because as swifties we have to understand the full gravity of the situation in order to best defend taylor against her worst nightmare. you may think the kimye situation is terrible enough, but add to it this:
Scooter has been a manager for a one joshua kushner for the better part of this decade. as in, the brother of the guy who is running major arms of our whitehouse without qualification. scooter’s job is to improve his client’s image as it relates to securing foreign investments as josh is a uh.... ‘venture capitalist’ in charge of investing his family’s assets. if you’ve been looking into scooter, go ahead and look into him too.
josh started being seen with then 19 year old (think about that) rising star karlie kloss. considering the amount of push in tabloids that this otherwise nobody started getting, these two are easily identifiable as a PR relationship. he does work with many overseas investors, and karlie helps bring them in where josh alone cannot (please take the time to look up about PR relationships and how common they are. also look up ‘bearding’ and how common it is to set up a PR relationship so that a manager can better mask who a client loves, should that be problematic to a target demographic)
taylor and karlie were formally introduced to one another at the end of 2013. they became best best friends. inseparable. seen together everywhere. anytime they are together their happiness is palpable.
did you know there was a slice of pavement in new york city by where karlie lives with the initials TS♡KK engraved? they were thick as thieves!
i am not going to ask you to believe taylor and karlie dated one another. and if you believe that, i’m not going to ask you to believe they are still together. as for the first point, well, the visual history between them (and between taylor and other women integral to her life story) is overwhelming and if you would like to look at what i feel are the most straightforward stuff browse my blog @kaylorwelcomecenter and beyond.
but i digress. let’s assume taylor and karlie were just best best friends, then
...well, okay, they got caught kissing (we think that’s what Dancing With Our Hands Tied is about). but let’s say they were drunk? regardless, the smiles don’t lie—i think it goes without saying that taylor and karlie were important to one another. karlie influenced taylor to stay in new york, for example, instead of moving to london. karlie changed the trajectory of taylor’s life.
and you know they meant the world to one another because of songs with specific lyrics pointing to that like You Are In Love (taylor had an instagram post of her and karlie road tripping at big sur with the caption ‘on the way home’), and on reputation with songs like King Of My Heart (‘drinking beer out of plastic cups’ ... google “taylor swift beer” and see what photos come up), and Dress (watch her perform it with karlie watching, as she sings “i don’t want you like a best friend”).
karlie signed with scooter and in 2016 trump assumed office. jared kushner suddenly represents our nation. from then til now karlie has grown further and further distant from taylor as her relationship with jared’s brother continues.
that pavement? construction happened and the TS was mysteriously cut out and replaced with a J along with the freshly laid concrete.
rep tour starts and includes the song “don’t take the money” by jack antonoff in the preshow playlist. please listen to that song.
karlie announces her engagement to josh and the very next concert taylor sings Curious with hayley kiyoko and is in charge of the line “calling me up so late at night are we just friends? say you wanted me but you’re sleeping with him.”
the only time they are seen in public is at the nashville concert in august, and there is a photo of karlie celebrating her bachelorette with her sisters. strange that the same ambience of the photo down to the curly pink straw was replicated in You Need To Calm Down. karlie’s straw says ‘bride’ while taylor chose the word ‘lover’
after passing through karlie’s hometown, taylor sang “Speak Now” and was shaking with electricity in her delivery.
taylor comes out as a democrat. says something compelled her in the past two years to start speaking out.
karlie and josh suddenly hold a surprise wedding (coordinated by scooter’s team) while taylor is en route to australia. i say surprise because it came out of nowhere, (wouldn’t you say it took taylor by surprise?) had close to nobody documented in attendance, and the tabloid articles pushed it constantly during the bad press the kushners were getting in conjunction to ... world events involving a us citizen that was a member of the press...
taylor lands in oceania and sings I Knew You Were Trouble and slips in a firey “and the saddest fear comes creeping in that she never loved me”
on the very last night of the rep tour, a kaylor sign (representing the pavement mark) gets put up on the big screen as taylor sings “you belong with me” and bows in front of it.
in between then and the lover announcement, taylor all but confirms that half of one of the reputation concept photos is a collage of her and karlie’s eyes. ...i mean, she even encircled which eye is hers on the lover album cover 😂
because their first wedding was such a drag, karlie and josh held a ‘bigger reception,’ also coordinated by scooter’s team, and they had the audacity to give out shots of patrón as party favors 😡 taylor is not in attendance.
now scooter buys her music??
not only is this guy responsible for bad behavior surrounding kimye, he also has orchestrated the obliteration of one of the foundational relationships of taylor’s life. whether it was platonic or more than that, i don’t want to waste my time convincing you because either way, hearing scooter’s name makes taylor cry. and i am a thousand three hundred percent positive that it isn’t just about bullying surrounding kimye.
think about that. think on it.
we need to support taylor (and god am i worried about karlie in her own right!) and it goes beyond the kimye drama because this man and his client are predatory and downright creepy. and given the political connection? dangerous. they ruined her reputation and took away her best friend. literally took her name out of the pavement and ‘married’ her friend off in the eyes of the public. this goes far f*ing beyond bad management practices. this is so unforgivable.
and i cannot stand for people jumping in the comments telling us we are all delusional. honest to god i thought this was all ‘a reach’ two years ago. i was there. but i gave things the benefit of the doubt and i looked into it. i did my research on the music industry, and on hollywood and PR relationships. taylor wanted us to get political, right? please take this a step further if you already haven’t and look into the structures that control our society. taylor is dropping easter eggs for us, right? we need to look for clues. taylor is drawing attention to LGBT issues, right? look at the intersection of that and the music industry, suspend disbelief for one instant and imagine if taylor herself was gay, what her relationship with karlie may have meant to her, and how it was torn apart, at the very hands of the men who took over her music.
i am being serious. people calling us delusional might like to tout themselves as being sane or more in touch with the world, but they are literally sticking their heads in the sand on this one and turning a blind eye on something that is so cutting for taylor... now and over the course of her whole career. and each and every one of them best get off anon and stick a name to their words and proudly stick a pin to their comments, and @ taylor (i am dead serious. at your words to @taylorswift) if they are oh so confident, because when this blows open they’ll be on the wrong side of history on this one and i want them to know it and own it and learn from it. because this a huge life lesson and we are poised to take what we learn and give back to our idol by defending her in full force and it’s harder to fight when you’re sitting on your hands.. what role are you going to play? please... make the jump.

real. i shout from the rooftops about being a swiftie [and being queer and trans] because i know i’m annoying why not lean into it but i’m SO closeted as a gaylor i don’t wanna be crucified irl please 🙈
Honestly kind of scared of letting people know I'm a fan of Taylor. I feel it's such an issue with people my age. They will either hate her or love her. And then not to mention that I'm a gaylor specifically so regular swifties might burn me at the stake. 👀 Hm. Oh well. I'll just keep this part of my life here with you guys.
