Did the Bejeweled Music Video tell us the order of release for the re-records?

So, I spent and obnoxiously insane amount of time going over the Bejeweled music video because Taylor said she put a psychotic amount of easter eggs in said video. And, well, I’ve spent six years watching The Game Theorist and The Film Theorists on YouTube that I thought, “I couldn’t possibly go insane from this?” there’s a reason, I fear, that there are sixty videos by them on FNAF alone— I digress. Amidst going insane by going frame by frame in this video, I came to one theory that has stuck with me this entire endeavor: the order of the rest of Taylor’s re-recordings. Now, I know you’re probably thinking: “Anne, there’s no possible way you were able to figure this out by watching the video a few times” and to that I say “She put a psychotic amount of easter eggs so I went hunting… I lost track after the twentieth time opening the video”. I felt like keeping tally marks would just land me in a concerning place… more concerning then I where I already am. Now this isn’t the first thing I’ve ever broken apart like this, but it IS the first I’ve shared. So, without further ado— no more ramblings from a mad woman (HA see what I did there?)— my conclusion and my evidence.

Now I know quite a few people have been under the assumption that Speak Now will be Taylor’s next (myself included until I started this whole ordeal), I have reason to believe it isn’t… not yet.

You see, after the two minute cold open that, let’s be honest, was amazing, we see Taylor fixing/making a black bedazzled cloak. It’s in her lap as she sews.

Now this in it of itself doesn’t mean much right? But then she goes into the elevator and when she turns around the parallel to the …Ready For It? music video are very clear (to me at the very least)

Tell me I’m insane for seeing it!

“it’s a pose!” You say.

“That’s not true because of the EleVatOr BuTtON!” You screech.

Bear with me, my leaps go further than this.

The hand?

The hand covered in diamonds and rhinestones? Remind you of something?

Well, it sparked something in the recesses of my mind. And for a while I couldn’t quite place it, until I saw an edit on TikTok of the 1989 World Tour.

Now tell me you don’t see THAT!

If you don’t I could toss up the picture of Taylor from the Look What You Made Me Do music video and tell you it’s in reference to the bathtub full of diamonds she’s bathing in. Believe me that thought crossed my mind. However, the Out Of The Woods body suit she wore on tour just made more sense. Especially when we go back to everybody’s favorite: The elevator button!

The purple button that has made everyone else overlook the clear details in this video, never fear, I saw. I never gave up. Now this wonderful image has caused quite the tidal wave over social media. And now, I hear you again.

“Anne! It’s purple with the number three! Speak Now’s cover has Taylor in a purple dress and it always correlated with the color purple and Speak Now is her thirds album!” I hear you. Except the floor she steps gets off on isn’t exactly… Speak Now themed and neither is she. I will circle back to why the body suit being a reference to 1989 is important later. In the meantime:

This is the first image we see of the third floor. And this is how Taylor looks stepping off of said elevator.

Still looks very Reputation esc if you ask me.

This outfit makes me think about two Reputation Tour outfits. Like if these two merged together it would form the body suit above.

Now we make our way to Level 5 ( the fact that it’s blue is important. Blue is associated with 1989, and for the cherry on top 1989 is her 5th album)

Where we meet Dita von Teese looking like Taylor’s Wildest Dreams music videos character.

And Taylor is wearing the same kind of wrap that we see from the Wildest Dreams music video as well.

After the room I’m dreaming as 1989 we move onto the talent competition that (spoilers) Taylor wins. Then during the part in all of this where Prince Jack is proposing to Taylor, she looks at the camera and you’re able to get a better look at two heart shaped clips in her hair that have S and N in them respectively.

Now you might being saying: “That doesn’t mean anything, Anne!”

And you would be right. If you weren’t paying attention to the Taylor that walks out onto the balcony.

Making her debut to us in her new castle, we see Taylor wearing once again two heart shaped clips in her hair, but this time they have a T and S in them respectively.

Now this I the part where you say: “Enchanted instrumental! Love live instrumental! The dragons! The BuTtOn!” While others are still annoyed by the fact I haven’t explained why I said the diamond and rhinestone clad hand being a reference to the 1989 world tour bodysuit. And to the latter I say this:

Let’s take another nice long look at it.

Because it (the bodysuit) is directly telling us what will lead into speak now. Remember how I told you about the cloak being a reference to …Ready For It? Which came off of Reputation. From the cloak (Reputation) she pulls the bedazzled hand (1989) which presses level 3 (which is purple and Speak Now).

Level three is the diamond room with the Reputation tour bodysuits merged into one. From there we have the Wildest Dreams room level 5. And level 13 is Speak Now. Go back to the word I used to describe Taylor making her way out onto the balcony of her new castle. Debut.

Reputation

1989

Speak Now

Taylor Swift. Or as Swifties call it: Debut

Let me break it down once more:

If the cloaked Taylor here is representing Reputation, and from “Reputation” she pulls “1989″, and then we get 1989 pressing “Speak Now”. Leaving us with the order of Reputation, 1989, and Speak now.

Is this all a reach? Sure. But it wouldn’t be fun to theorize if it wasn’t. Truthfully, as a fandom we get as much stuff right as we do wrong. However, knowing how Taylor loves leaving the most obvious things in plain sight (just think back to the Midnights release era where we looked back and felt ridiculous for not putting pieces together).

Am I convinced with this theory? Am I happy with it? The short answer is: yes. If I didn’t like the ideas I put in this, I wouldn’t have made this long post about any of it.

Now I already hear you typing: “If the elevator numbers/color combinations don’t mean anything for the 3rd floor, why does it matter for the 5th?” Because if floor 3 really represented Speak Now it would have been speak now themed. The 5th floor is whites and blues with an aesthetic that Taylor leaned into with 1989, whereas the 3rd floor leaned into the aesthetics of Reputation rather than Speak Now.

Reputation being next would be a way of her reclaiming something she worked so hard on under the conditions she did. The vault will tell a whole other story. She reinvented herself for it. She had to come back stronger than a 90′s trend if you will.

The 1989 lawsuit over Shake It Off was dropped on December 12th. Finally, we have the ability to get all of our favorites off of it re-recorded and re-released. And getting Clean (Taylor’s Version) after Red (Taylor’s Version) and Reputation (Taylor’s Version) will be therapeutic. It will also be available to us when we get the Speak Now vault— I digress once again.

And Taylor Swift (Taylor’s Version) would be such a poetic way of ending the re-recordings. She could have given it to us before Fearless and Red, but she didn’t. It will be the last one she releases and I think it’s symbolic.

In conclusion, it doesn’t matter if this is right or wrong. I just thought that the references were there and I would take some time to theorize and put it out there for other Swifties to chew on. Maybe something sticks, maybe it doesn’t. Either way; if you made it this far thank you. I know this wasn’t exactly short by any means. I hope that you enjoyed the ramblings of a mad woman as she tried her best to pick the brain of the Mastermind Taylor Swift. Who know’s, maybe at the very least I’ve sparked a few ideas in your mind as to what any of these things could mean.

its true that romance amd friendship will not solve everything but. objectively speaking its very hard to get sad when you can say 'lets go get cake tomorrow okay' and someone will go get cake with you. like there is some good at least. you know

#i think this is why ive been so much more geniunely happy these last few years #like. i will never be going to bed alone. i will always have someone who wants me here #i will always have someone to say 'im sorry im not feeling very well now' and they will be concerned instead of being annoyed #at you as if those feelings are an inconvenience #scratchpost #txt

What’s everybody’s most useless skill? If you show me any picture of Godzilla I can tell you exactly which Godzilla suit it is and who was wearing it.

#obviously this doesn’t work for fan made costumes #but I can identify official Godzilla suits #and official Godzilla props/animatronics #with a concerning amount of accuracy

The midjourney stuff just reminds of when we were trying to find a new platform to host the ao3 donation form, and companies kept trying to tell me about all their "ai" features that would track donor engagement, and figure out the optimal pattern to email individual donors asking for follow up donations, and all the ways they suggest we manipulate people into staying on our websites. It was a great way to filter out who either wasn't listening to us when we described our ethics and donor base, or just didn't believe us.

Now granted ao3 is a unique case based on a) the amount of page views we get in any given time period and b) the fact that most donors absolutely do Not want to be identified as such anywhere, (the default "list of recent donors" module got nuked Immediately) but it surprised me some that the concept of "donors who value their privacy and would be furious at even the whiff of AI" is unique. Some of us really are just existing in different worlds.

#I just started dropping '2.5 Billion page views a month'#into conversations as early as possible bc they would Not believe me otherwise #it was right up there with having to say 'csam attacks' to get them to take my compartmentalization of information concerns seriously #turns out those are the magic words #otw #op

FanFiction.net is not gone.

Right now it's a victim of DNS (Domain Name Service) spoofing. This means that a malicious party is trying to steal traffic from FFn by purchasing a very similar domain.

Correction:

The new "fake" site that people are seeing still belongs to FanFiction.net—they just misconfigured their servers and are not redirecting traffic from the bare fanfiction.net to the main site at www.fanfiction.net. There is likely no malicious agent. Didn't mean to scare anyone! Just wanted to let people know the site wasn't deleted!

So if you want to read fanfiction and not see leaves, you have have to type out "www.fanfiction.net".

Please share so people stop panicking.

#i was not expecting this to become ANYWHERE near as popular as this is #sorry for the misinformation concerning why the website wasn't working #just wanted to get the point across the ffn isn't dead #fanfiction #ffn #fanfiction.net #fanfiction dot net #fanfictionnet #ff net #purs post #psa

The best thing about the new stardew update is you can tell concerned ape got comfortable just being fucking weird. Which is understandable considering most indie devs have to be some level of insane

#stardew valley #sdv #video games #gaming #i do admire concerned ape's commitment and how involved he is in the community #honestly i just like that indie devs actually... Like What They Are Makinh #need to study him like a petrie dish
