Not let me look at my secret wife and say “promise me this, that she’ll stand by me forever”

Tree was probably like be subtle- and Taylor was like 🤭sure no prob

This is an answer to an anon I've received.

I typed it all and Tumblr said there was an error when I went and tried to published it. So I had to type it all again but lost the anon....

Here's the question: could you tell me more about her wanting to come out in 2019? sorry for asking again I'm new on the fandom!

Hi!

It will be my pleasure! This is such an important part of the Gaylor Lore to know and understand, especially when you are new in the fandom.

This theory has been confirmed, but we'll get to it in a minute.

Also, I'm so sorry because learning about what went down during Lover Era is a transformative experiece in the Gaylor fandom, in a very heartbreaking way.

So back in 2019 Taylor wanted to come out with the Lover Era.

June 30th during the New York City Pride wich was also the Stonewall's 50th anniversary, was supposed to be the day it happened.

This date might be familiar to you, because it's the date we learned at the same time as Taylor about her masters being sold to Scooter Braun.

Stonewall Inn in YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN. 2019 Taylor performed at the bar to honor the 50th anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall Riots.

Judy Garland starred in Wizard of Oz and the day she died precipitated the Stonewall Riot. Everyone was in the bar mourning her death and the cops knew Judy was a queer icon & decided easy pickings bc being gay was illegal. So they decided to arrest everyone inside Stonewall.

But instead of an arrest it turned into a Riot and it became a turning point in queer rights or "the hairpin drop heat ‘round the world". And that was the first Pride. (x)

"So you know... you're standing in the pouring rain with people, and you just kind of feel like this romanticises camaraderie. I was thinking about what song to play with you tonight and I was thinking... there's a song from Midnights that I love so much. And I haven't played it on this tour or ever... so I figured... that could be fun to play with you. And I just - oh my gosh, this is insane - I kind of just feel like telling you, I don’t know, I just... I have just never been this happy in my life, in all aspects of my life, ever before. And I just want to thank you for being a part of that. Like, you know, I don't know... it's not just the tour... it's like... I don't know, I just sort of feel like... my life finally feels like it makes sense. And... so I thought I'd play this song, which brings me a lot of happy memories."

Don't you dare to let them take away OUR KISSGATE SONG! She even messed the song up to play it again!

The double "Oh Oh" at the end! 🥹 (in the video mixed with another cute part of the refrain)

Hey guys! I've been doing quite a bit of research on Taylor for a school project, and I've stumbled upon a lot of new evidence pointing towards some kind of relationship between Taylor Swift and Julianne Hough.

According to Julianne, she first met Taylor at a 2007 Christmas party.

They attended a few of the same events, like CRS 39 A.R.T.S. in March 2008.

Taylor, Julianne, and Kellie Pickler all hosted CMA Music Festival: Country's Night to Rock together, which they filmed June 5-8 of 2008. It aired September 8th.

They did this interview together for the event. Highlights include Taylor calling Kellie her "sister" then proceeding to discuss Julianne's "rockin' body". Taylor and Julianne didn't really hang out much outside of events at this point, though.

Both of them attended Katy Perry's 25th birthday party on October 24, 2009. They were papped leaving the party arm-in-arm, with each other's initials painted on their clothing.

As I'm sure you may have also noticed, Julianne has blue handprints on her boobs. If you take a closer look at Taylor's hand, you can see on the edge of her palm that it's stained the same color blue.

There's not really much other blue paint on either of them, so the handprints were presumably Taylor's doing.

There's another set of Taylor's initials on Julianne's back, along with more blue on her pants, but it looks to me like both of them were just sitting in blue paint.

Taylor tweeted this later that night:

Unfortunately, most of Taylor's tweets from that era have been since deleted, but we can tell from Julianne's page that they started getting close after that.

Throughout all of this, Taylor S. has been dating Taylor L, and Julianne Hough was with her boyfriend of over a year, Chuck Wicks. 2 weeks after the paint party, on November 10, 2009, it was announced that Julianne Hough and Chuck Wicks had amicably split.

It wasn't until December 14, 2020 that Chuck Wicks revealed on his podcast, "Talk To Chuck", that that had been a facade.

According to Chuck, their relationship ended because he found out "out of nowhere" that Julianne was "not who [he] thought [she] was", but that he couldn't tell anyone the specific reason.

To give some background on Julianne, she comes from a strict, extremely conservative Mormon family in Utah.

She publicly came out as "not straight" in 2019, after having come out to her then-husband Brooks Laich in 2017. She said in another 2019 interview that "it's just always been [her] truth", but that she had had to deal with a lot of shame and guilt around her sexuality throughout her life due to the way she was raised.

If her inclination was to come out to her partners first, is it possible that she may have mentioned to Chuck Wicks that she was queer, and gotten dumped as a result? Or maybe he found out on his own, somehow?

Julianne, who dabbled in the music industry, wrote a song immediately after her breakup with Chuck Wicks. It was released the next summer as a single for her upcoming album, but the album was ultimately never released.

The song is called "Is That So Wrong", and it's incredibly queer-coded.

I'm pretty sure if I asked ChatGPT to write me a song about a sapphic ex-mormon wanting to kiss her female friend, it couldn't come up with something better than this. Keep in mind, Julianne tweeted about her and Taylor's "movie night" together 2 days after her breakup with Chuck was announced.

So anyways, by this point, we've reached the beginning of December, when Taylor S called things off with Taylor L. Immediately afterwards, she made her very first property purchase ever, a $2 million condo.........in the same building as Julianne Hough.

The two girls started hanging out a lot- shopping together on Christmas Eve, having spa days, etc. But, as we know, Taylor started dating John Mayer shortly afterwards.

John and Taylor break up in February. Shortly afterwards, Taylor invites Julianne Hough to be her surprise guest at the 2010 Country Radio Seminar, along with Gloriana.

Julianne had some dating rumors with Dane Cook in March.

They remain friends until around mid-April, when things seem to go dark after Julianne goes to Taylor's 4/15 concert at the Staples Center in LA. It's hard to say definitively if they're hanging out or not since they live in the same building and could easily see each other without being papped, but they aren't spotted in the same place until the 2010 CMT Awards on June 9. Here's what's interesting about this:

The liner note for The Story of Us is "CMT AWARDS", and it's always been presumed to be about John Mayer, since he was the only known ex of hers in attendance. Taylor said that Dear John and The Story of Us are about the same person. That always confused me, though, because the relationship described in The Story of Us seems to be pretty directly contradictory to the relationship described in Dear John (and Would've, Could've, Should've).

Dear John is basically just 7 minutes of Taylor listing every single reason that she cut John Mayer off. Hence, "I stopped picking up and this song is to let you know why".

At the beginning of The Story of Us, Taylor says "A simple complication, miscommunications lead to fallout". Nothing in Dear John says "simple complication" to me, and there wasn't a "fallout", SHE cut HIM off.

The Story of Us has the lyric "I'm scared to see the ending", which implies that the ending hasn't necessarily happened yet. But Taylor and John broke up 4 months prior.

The Story of Us also explicitly states that "we're not speaking". Here's Taylor and John, at the 2010 CMT Awards...speaking....

Look, I've had my share of toxic relationships. I know feelings are complicated and stuff. She could have just been going through the ups and downs of grieving a breakup, or taking creative liberties with the song. But...

Julianne Hough was also at the CMT Awards, not interacting with her "bestie", Taylor at all. AND, she went public with her new boyfriend, Ryan Seacrest, only 8 days after this.

Think about The Story of Us in the context of all of this relationship overlap. Maybe Taylor and Julianne were hooking up, but each still struggling to come to terms with being queer, so they never officially dated. Maybe they continued seeing other guys while they were hooking up, making each other jealous, but refusing to communicate about it because they didn't want to acknowledge their romantic feelings for each other out loud. "A simple complication, miscommunications lead to fallout. So many things that I wish you knew, so many walls up I can't break through"; "Why are we pretending this is nothing?"; "This is looking like a contest of who can act like they care less"; "I would lay my armor down if you said you'd rather love than fight"; "I'm dying to know, is it killing you like it's killing me?" It all just seems to fit that scenario better than John.

By any means, Taylor and Julianne seem to have eventually patched things up, because Taylor spent the morning of her 21st birthday going out for coffee with Julianne, after an early morning radio interview. Jake may have been infamously ditching her in LA, but her best friends, family, and entire band were all in town for her party that night. She still chose to spend the morning alone with Julianne.

Outside of this glorious photo of Taylor looking utterly thrilled to be posing with Julianne and her boyfriend at the ACMs in April 2011, they were never seen in public together again as far as I can tell. But like I said, they did continue to live in the same building until January 2013, so I can't definitively say that they stopped spending time together at that point.

Not to be dramatic or anything, but Taylor looks like she wants to die in this moment, and Julianne looks equally thrilled to have Taylor interacting with her boyfriend. And those are some pretty stiff poses for two girls who used to paint-grab each others boobs, don't you think?

Julianne did debut her engagement ring at Taylor's 1989 concert in 2015, which gives me serious Karlie vibes, but they seem to no longer be friends at all, which seems to be the pattern with Taylor and her exes.

I also find it interesting that, up until she came out publicly, even Julianne’s friends were still touting her “ally” status. She had been out in her personal life for multiple years at that point. Remind you of any other closeted, musical blondes that like to dance around in rainbow outfits for the sake of “allyship”?

Julianne ultimately came out to the public on August 1, 2019, just 3 weeks before the release of Lover. Maybe she, like everyone else, expected Lover to be Taylor’s coming out album and decided to try to get ahead of the speculation by coming out on her own terms?

I wanted to share with you guys what I found via tiktok (@/heyitsmoog) and twitter (@/kaylortruther) on Taylor & Karlie’s trip to Big Sur in March 2014. I’ve just recently got into gaylor but the connections between Big Sur and folklore are really worth sharing.

Taylor and Karlie stayed at Deetjen’s Big Sur Inn and the only private cabin is the Castro Cabin.

And there was only one bed…

There’s also a winery and vineyard called Folktale in Big Sur. Look at the font 🥲

Wisteria and lavender grows all over Big Sur.

Here’s a parallel to ivy lyric video.
