“I had no idea. My wife had kept it hidden and have been working on this to happen for a month. About three days before it happened, when it was really being locked in - we like to eat together as a family whenever we can and when I’m not away filming or whatever - and she was down in the office doing these emails to America and I went down and went, ‘Babe, c'mon, what are you doing? We’re gonna eat together. It can wait, whatever you’re doing can wait.’ And she was like, 'No darling, it’s alright, I’ll be down in a minute,’ and I was like, 'Ahh, c'mon!’ And then left, cause we’re not eating together. And apparently when I left she just thought, 'If you only knew what I was doing.’ Yeah, so basically Olivia Colman had worked with Joe, Taylor’s boyfriend, so my wife said to her, 'Why don’t you text and just see if she’ll come along?’ And eventually Olivia did, she texted Joe and he sent a message to Polly [Shaun’s wife] saying, 'Here is Taylor’s manager’s email address.’ So Polly is now in this situation, all of this I found out in hindsight, she had to compile this email to manager of arguably the world’s biggest superstar, and tell him about me, that I’m covering this song, what Children In Need is, what a colliery band is […] and everything. So she carefully constructs this email, sends it off and within five minutes she gets an email back going, 'Oh my God, this is a great idea, I love it. I’m a Sheffield lad and I love colliery bands.’ And it just turns out he’s a Sheffield lad, and then she spent a month arranging everything. And Taylor did everything off her own bat, turned up there, her security came, did everything and she was so, so generous and giving and she was so excited about it. She just kept saying, 'Thank you for covering my track. It’s one of my favorite tracks, thank you for covering it.’ And it’s a bit of a blur to be honest. She stayed for about an hour, took selfies with my kids, who were all in bits. She was just a really generous, beautiful human being. I kept saying to her, 'Why are you here?’ And she just said, 'I think it’s a great thing you’re doing and I wanna support it and I think Children In Need is great, and I just want to get behind it for you.’ [About why he choose to cover “Never Grow Up”] My eldest daughter gave it to me, cause we share music, she was like listen to this song, this is very you. And I heard the song and wept a little bit and I then sang it to my kids. When Taylor originally wrote it, it was about herself so I removed a verse which means I can sing it about my kids. It’s that thing when you desperately want to create fully rounded human beings that are lovely, that can go out into the world, but at the same time you just wanna press pause, you just wanna slow the world down a little bit and just hang onto these moments that… it just goes too quick. And this song is all about you know - just don’t grow up, just remember these moments, take these in, and it’s very difficult to sing without getting upset, to be honest with you.”
— Shaun Dooley about how his wife managed to get Taylor to surprise him and why he choose to cover “Never Grow Up” - BBC Radio Wales (October 29th 2019)
I think I beginning to like Joe Alwyn & Taylor's relationship. I think it is sweet when they continue doing the low-key things. Well, I am not saying I ship them - but I just try to be realistic about everything. And I think, Taylor deserve any love she wanted. If it's Joe Alwyn, then it is good for her.
Afterall, to think that she is with Karlie Kloss, while Karlie is currently married to Josh Kushner, posting their PDA every now and then - I donno y'all, I don't feel like to ship them and their allegedly bearding contracts.
Above all, I sincerely hope Taylor will continue glow - and happy always.
Lily & Karlie Seems In A Good Term
Looking at Karlie's latest IG, I was wrong to assume something happened between her & Lily Aldridge. Guess they are still pal afterall. Good to know.
What Happened to Taylor Swift & Karlie Kloss? - part 3
Continued from part 2
By now you probably wondering what is the correlation between Lily's reaction (see here again) with part 2 vid, which Taylor seemed very emotional.
First, I'll remind you with this one:
So, Lily is among Taylor's confidants - someone whom she considered a loyal friend.
Is it possible then, why Lily look like she didn't really like Karlie anymore, because of her loyalty to Taylor - and that Karlie was seen as a Brutus?
A lot of Swifties I'm sure agree to that.
However, I am not going to neglect the other possible reason on Lily's behaviour:
1. Since in previous days we witnessed Lily had sent friends/colleagues her debut perfume, including Karlie -or- since there were also photos taken during the same moment, where Lily, Karlie and some other friends looked all smiley in the photo (didn't post it here now) - yes, it is probably that they just good friend and Lily didn't really throw any shade to Karlie that night.
2. Lily's reaction has nothing to do with Taylor.
However, despite so - if we taken carefully all of the facts (apart from Karlie attended Reputation tour in Nashville):
a. Karlie's name was not in Taylor's LWYMMD shirt.
b. Taylor & Karlie have never been publicly together for nearly 3 yrs now.
c. Taylor failed to attend Karlie's weddings - and continued silent afterward (she made no public/social media acknowledgements toward the wedding).
d. Taylor never confirmed/rejected Karlie's public statement about still a good friend to Taylor (it was Karlie's team who responded to pagesix article).
e. Taylor hinted in several interviews about a friend's betrayal.
f. Scooter Braun is Karlie's manager and friend.
g. Karlie married her long time bf - Joshua Kushner.
It is difficult not to think that something had happened that jeopardized their friendship (or allegedly relationship).
Nevertheless, Kaylors' stans thought that Karlie's name wasn't being in the shirt because, quoting "I don't want you like a best friend" or that Karlie trapped by both Mr.Braun & Mr. Kushner, hence continue bearding.
***
Whichever your stand among those theories, I think we all still far from gaining clarity on Taylor&Karlie's sudden shift in friendship.
However the above findings should be taken under serious consideration.

What Happened to Taylor Swift & Karlie Kloss? - part 2
Continued from part 1
Perhaps, Lily's behaviour had nothing to do with Kaylor. Perhaps, it also meant nothing.
But after seen how Lily reacted to Karlie, I decided to revisit again "the making of Look What You Made Me Do music video" - in which I saw this:
Yes, we all know that LWYMMD was made in response to Kamye-gate. But still, it is so weird hearing Taylor being so emotional while saying:"get out of my house!"

What Happened to Taylor Swift & Karlie Kloss? - part 1
There are many theories, and this question is antiquity. For example, a lot of kaylors have conviction that they are still together as a couple. Some have doubt and thought that they might once a pair but then broke up. And of course the majority believes that they were never a couple in the first place, coz they both het. Among the het theorist, Taylor & Karlie not even a bff anymore.
What's the truth then?
Since the public never really know the real answer, cause both Taylor and Karlie stay silence about it - we just have to speculate.
And here's my latest speculation after I saw the below clip:
Did you see it? Let me show you again:
And this:

Josh and Karlie Dancing - Proof of Them Being Couple
This is my recent finding - not sure if anyone ever mentioned this before.
But before I continue, I assume if you read this, you also have read all of my previous posts - which described my stance.
My writings had nothing to do with proving my Kaylors-ness/Gaylor-ness correct - nor also to prove that it ain't correct.
I am mere looking for "truth" and will reveal my finding with honesty through my own lenses. I have no agenda to make this fandom undisputable nor to be a place for mockery. I think, we all can learn to respect one another whatever our position hold.
So without further due...
Remember this? Mickey Hess 30th birthday - August 2016:
And let's continue with different angle which we can spot a couple dancing:
My take:
There were rumors about Mike and Josh being gay couple (but mostly from gossip sites that have no credibility for its stories). You may also came across testimonials from people who either saying Josh is completely straight or a friend of Josh's college buddies saying people had long suspected him as gay (underline the word 'suspect').
What is the truth? I donno. I am not Josh nor I know him in person.
But what I do know, so far we have 2 proofs already (I speak on behalf of this blog) that Joshlie (Joshua Kushner+Karlie Kloss) look entirely as a legit couple.
One, is the video from Kissgate. And the 2nd one is the above.
Judging from those and others, i.e. this article (Joshlie relationship timeline) - it is very hard to deny that their relationship is as real as eiffel tower in paris.
So is that mean Kaylors now obsolete?
I think, if we wanna be honest and have done a due dilligent thoroughly - as I've said before - by far they are more evidences about Taylor+Joe Alwyn being a real couple the same as Josh Kushner+Karlie Kloss.
With that said, if I, myself, continue in the fandom, I am mere doing it in my leisure - while having fun trying to decode Taylor's crypted msg - or in another word, speculating to see how things would look like if seen from the anti-mainstream angle (e.g. kaylors or gaylors).
And afterall, shipping in the literal meaning nothing but being in the state of imagining things - with an added formula of wishful thinking, of course.
I have no ideas why then it became so serious, that some people just have zero tolerant over an opposing theory.
In a nutshell, "you are what you love" - as Taylor once said. If someone love fantasy so much that they no longer able to differentiate between reality and imagination - even further being obstinate to it despite people brings them facts to contradict their belief - then these people can be called...

The Voice: This artist’s emotional moment with @taylorswift13 will leave you in tears. ❤️ #TaylorOnTheVoice
Cats Movie: @taylorswift13 and @officialalw have written a new song for #CatsMovie. Watch how it came together.
Never stop writing pages do you, Taylor Swift? 👏👏👏👏
Out Of The Wood is About Harry Styles - Can We Turn It Into a Gaylors?
OOTW is an interesting song for me personally, esp. when I first heard the title. I think I speak for most queer when assuming that "out of the woods" is like someone saying "out of the closet - out of the mess".
I watched Ellen's interview, she too loved the song from this 1989 era.
Evenmore, I was intrigued by this Taylor's expression at the end of her singging OOTW in 1989 tour:
She looked very emotional, to my observation (Was there any correlation with OOTW or she was mere overwhelming with crowd appreciation?).
So yeah, I went due dilligent - and couldn't help not to go back to her 2014 Rolling Stone's Interview after reading OOTW lyrics: "Remember when you hit the brakes too soon. Twenty stitches in a hospital room"
Rolling Stone's quote:
The most interesting part comes when Swift sings, “Remember when you hit the brakes too soon/Twenty stitches in a hospital room.” She says it was inspired by a snowmobile ride with an ex who lost control and wrecked it so badly that she saw her life flash before her eyes. Both of them had to go to the ER, although Swift wasn’t hurt. She corrects herself: “Not as hurt.”
And dailymail had also covered the accident in their published article back in dec 2012 (OOTW lyrics "looking at it now. last December (last December)" looks legit):
Further, some mainstream media (even blind item) had this covered as well . OOTW is about Harry Styles - no longer a secret, it is a public consumption.
Nevertheless, I feel like something missing (but this is just me, though). Something just not add up properly, to my understanding.
In one hand, Taylor always asserts how she likes being single (doesn't really need to be desperately in love with boys) which is make sense - esp. she always try to present herself as feminist, ambitious, career-oriented type of woman. But why then, in the other hand, in OOTW, if it's about Harry, she depicted herself as a teenage girl who suffered for self-pity for not being able to have normal relationship - being famous as she is (they are). Furthermore, after mere few months in a relationship, she was still emotionally involved that she needed to write a song about it!?
Honestly, I've seen a paradox there.
Yes, she could be dating younger boy who happened to be a celeb like her, with public & media crawling all over them for a hot news - but was she that fragile?
To take this into my apprehension, I've decided to translate the song from different angle - just say - a bearding perspective:
Looking at it now. It all seems so simple. We were lying on your couch. I remember. You took a Polaroid of us. Then discovered (then discovered). The rest of the world was black and white. But we were in screaming color. And I remember thinking.
Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet?
The remaining lyrics, if taking from bearding perspective, very much the same like the conclusion from the above.
In another word, it could be seen as Taylor telling story about a relationship that basically a PR stunt (something that being forced thus very fragile at its core) - and how they both had to dance with its all - not being themselves (presumably gay - 'I've told you, I wanna turn this into Gaylors 😉')
Last but not least,
Remember when we couldn't take the heat. I walked out, I said, I'm setting you free.
To me that just scream a contract being ended.
Lol - too far reaching? Could be. But with a long bearding history in hollywood, anything still possible.
Afterall, it is so sad if turn out Taylor Swift, a brave woman who about to turn the male dominion in music industry to kneel down before her, nothing but a fragile girl who couldn't live single and always needed to be around a boy (mostly british & younger) - while at the same time acted as if like she is the victim of public scrutiny - yet paradoxically screaming "I am not serial dater! I want woman to be equally treated & appreciated just as a man!"
Well, I choose to believe the feminist Taylor Swift - who by now already comprehend the meaning of love - which is nothing close to teenage crush with a boy who still lived with his parent.
But I could be wrong? Oh yep.
Wishing all the fellow queers out there to be free and soon find a way to get OUT OF THE WOODS.

Did Taylor Swift Secretly Marry?
What an hyperbolic title, don't you think? I did that in purpose, you got me, to catch attention. But that doesn't mean, I am mere click-baiting there, I really do curious after revisiting "It's Nice To Have A Friend" : "Gosh, does she really telling us that she is a married lady through INTHAF?"
First, I would like to shoutout to Gaylors out there that they maybe have a point when saying that Taylor PROBABLY (again, please, do not use any definitive tone, unless you are Taylor Swift in person) one of the biggest closeted lesbian celeb to date.
What are the hints? INTHAF, might be one of them.
***
It started with 'look-like' a children folk-tale (Taylor seemingly applied this song as a story telling session of her memoar):
Younger version
School bell rings, walk me home
Sidewalk chalk covered in snow
Lost my gloves, you give me one
I guess she recalled the time when she was still living in this small suburb Wyomissing, Reading, Pennsylvania - and went to Wyomissing school there (and yeah, it was winter!)
Sidenote: I took a wild guess that it was about her childhood day in Wyomissing from how innocent she pictured herself here - I was thinking that when she moved to Nashville her life already focused on country music career - no time to just walked on the pathway with a friend, after school.
"Wanna hang out?"
Yeah, sounds like fun
wonder now, what kind of hang out it would be...
Video games, you pass me a note
Argh ya, playing video games does sound like fun!
Sleeping in tents
Wait, what?! I get if her parents allowed her to hang out with boy in the living room playing games, but...sleeping in tents (note: multiple time) together?
It's nice to have a friend (Ooh)
Argh ya, a girl and girl, childhood friend - must be something that later on shaped her feminist view...
***
A Bit Older, Teen Version
Light pink sky up on the roof
Pinky - surely it was a girly moment.
Sun sinks down, no curfew
Afternoon, no curfew, meaning they could continue playing barbie together.
Twenty questions, we tell the truth
You've been stressed out lately? Yeah, me too
Besties always have this heart to heart talk, right.
Something gave you the nerve
To touch my hand
Ouch! Why do I get nervous suddenly reading the above passage. You think what I think?
It's nice to have a friend. (Ooh)
Fiuh, argh ya, sure, Miss Taylor.
***
Reach maturity, Adult Version
Church bells ring, carry me home
Ok, why do I imagine after wedding ceremonial here?
Rice on the ground looks like snow
Call my bluff, call you "babe"
Someone looks like daring enough to take the challenge. Another wedding proposal's hint?
Have my back, yeah, everyday
Feels like home, stay in bed
The whole weekend
Hmmm, seems like a happy married couple by now.
***
Sum up? Here we go:
If we take the whole song as plots in story - you either have to think that the main characters remained the same from the beginning to the end i.e. a childhood friend became a husband/wife - OR - the theme remained the same. And as we aware, the theme is nothing but LOVE here.
If she was talking about Joe Alwyn as the endgame, I could not understand why she had to talk about other boys she was dating when she was lil girl.
It is, to me, more make sense, if she was telling story about her secret love (preference) that she discovered since childhood - started as a friendly gesture (wanna hang out? It's fun!).
If the (secret) love theme stayed the same the entire song, is that mean she married her (secret) lover by now?
Hmmm, quite provocating theory, right?
***
Disagree? Welcome. Don't forget to leave your thought here.
Update: False God, Kaylor's New Anthem
As one commented in the earlier post, that Joe had mentioned London as his fave city, i've decided to cross check that and found this:
(from IG @karlies.lover)
I thank you for the cheeky video, made by fellow Kaylors tumblr blogger.
Here is the youtube complete vid:
I love how you posted the west village apartment. Like you can’t miss the garden gate, can you??!!
Hehe, yeah I know some Kaylors had a reaching on that one. But honesly, I am not so sure if 'garden gate' is literal, it could be just another metaphor. Cause if you carefully dissected the Cruel Summer - most likely it is a representation of her bitterness toward haters, media negativity, and everyone whom she considered nemesis.
But yeah, the line did make us roll eyes (if we take that literal, having seen her in/out Karlie's west village in mostly summer 2014):
And I, snuck in through the garden gate
Every night that summer just to seal my fate (oh)
After you reading your thoughts on False God... OH GOD. False God is totally about Karlie Kloss! I read Cornelia Street too...I can definitely see a Kaylor twist to it. I think I might fall down this rabbit hole
Hello friend,
Yes, we can always speculate using our own angle. But take everything with grain of salt. We never know Taylor's real inspiration in her songs. It could be just about characters in the movie with some twisted version from her OR she just mere "kidding around" to amuse her fans by being ambiguous - in each of her public image (including in her songs) so people can continue guessing - without necessarily has the right&final answer to it.
One thing for sure: she is one brilliant woman & damn excellent song writer/creator.
Taylor Swift, A Real Person Inside Celebrity Attire
I wanna have a break for awhile in speculating about Taylor Swift' sexuality/relationship and dedicate this writing solely focusing on her as a person.
Honestly, I've never a big fans of her. Nor to any other celebrities out there. I am always a casual listener to any music. And very seldom I attentively scrutinizing song lyrics. But falling to Kaylors fandom inevitably forced me to dig more about Taylor Swift. I was very much surprise knowing how popular she is, or how successful she is building up an empire of 'devotees'. She is a queen in almost every sense.
But only through knowing how relatable her character is to ourselves as a non celebrity that truly inspiring and gradually takes me to grow a soft-tenderness feeling toward her. And like a teen swiftie, I can't help to echo their praise: "I love you, Taylor Swift!"
Here, I am just going to copy a relatable normal human being version of Taylor's story from many sources - mostly from people with direct interaction with her, the 'normal' people. If one still deducting flaws out of her personality, after reading these kind of testimonials - well it would speak a lot about who the person is rather than being about Taylor Swift.
***
From Rolling Stone:
We’ve been talking for a while when a boat rows up carrying three teenagers – two girls and a guy. “Oh, my God!” says one of the girls. “Today is my birthday! Can I please take a picture with you?” Swift laughs. “You can, but I don’t know how you’re going to. You’re on a boat, buddy!”
“I’ll get off!” the girl says. “I’ll find a way.” Swift and her bodyguard reach out and help her into the pavilion. “You’re going to make me cry!” she says.
“Is it really your birthday?” Swift asks.
“How old are you?”
“Seventeen,” the girl says.
“Oh, that’s a good year.”
“I know. I’m excited.”
The girl says she lives on Long Island. She and her friends took the train in for the day. “That’s cute,” Swift says. “Are you going to dinner somewhere?”
The girl scrunches up her face. “We were going to . . . Chipotle?”
Swift smiles. She goes to her purse and pulls out a wad of cash – $90, to be exact. “Here,” she says. “Go somewhere nice.”
“Oh, my God,” the girl says. “Thank you!” She climbs back in the boat, and she and her friends paddle off.
Note:
$90 may not be a big number for a celeb like Taylor Swift with an estimated worth around 360 million USD. However, that was probably the only cash she had in hand - and Taylor gave it all to the teen girl she barely knew only cause she probably felt that she could contribute to boost this girl's happiness by adding the teen with more fund to spend on her birthday.
This was not only sweet but it genuinely a very grandeur kindnest.

"Is Taylor Swift actually a nice person?" - a question made in Quora:
Anonymous answered it, in May 21th 2018
This post has been a long time coming. I am answering this question anonymously for a number of reasons: 1) I do not wish to inadvertently become tabloid fodder; 2) I do not wish to capitalize on Taylor; 3) I enjoy my relatively normal life; and 4) I believe the anonymity is well-deserved on Taylor’s part. Although Taylor may be able to determine who is writing this, I do not believe such information to be of use to the public. I am sure, if she wished, she could write me a letter and reconnect at anytime. That is her choice to make.
Before Taylor hit it big, Taylor and I spent months emailing back and forth on MySpace. We were the same age with similar tastes in music, similar viewpoints on life, and similar, sarcastic senses of humor. We were both trying to make it in music and grow a fan base. We confided in each other. We trusted each other. We had an ongoing, supportive relationship that helped both of us when we sometimes felt there was nowhere else to turn. Few knew of my coversations with her - but some of Taylor’s closest friends did know they were taking place (they called me “the guy on MySpace,” as it is my understanding Taylor did not tell them my name).
The two of us, still in our teens and miles apart, began writing to each other in short messages at first. We would discuss music, school, and random jokes we would make upon the fly. As time went on, the messages (and their topics) went from short and complimentary to in-depth and personal. We would write messages to one another that, if printed, would be multiple pages long. Looking back, these were the messages of two teenagers trying to find themselves and, in the process, found a friend in one another. We never had expectations, just a supportive friendship with a member of the opposite sex we could not seem to find offline. Although our situations and backgrounds were very different, our similarities closed any gap between us.
During our time messaging, Taylor had hit a rough patch in her life. That may be easy to balk at if you see Taylor as a flawless celebrity rather than the caring and thoughtful person that she is - but the struggle she was experiencing at the time was very real and had its toll on her, a teen trying to find her place. I would do my best to encourage her from a distance and support her as the situation unfolded. Taylor did the same for me. The mutual respect and maturity shared with one another was like nothing else I had experienced. As for Taylor, I believe she felt the same.
Then, something happened. I began to emotionally struggle with the loss of a grandparent who had passed in 2002. As a young person, I had buried the pain for years and did not know how to cope. I had little in terms of a support mechanism in my “real” life. But things were just beginning in Taylor’s career. I thought that my burdens would weigh Taylor down. So, rather than turn to Taylor for support or tell her what happened, I did the only thing sixteen year old me knew how to do… I closed myself off, shut down my MySpace page… and tried to grapple with the experience on my own. To this day, I feel guilty about having left her out in the dark. But I still believe I did the right thing. Taylor had a dream we both shared and it was becoming a reality. I was not about to stand in the way by making her worry about her friend. She was too kind and sweet to me. Strapping her with that type of burden would have been unjustifiable. As fast as I had entered it, I was out of Taylor’s life. If she saw me today, it is unlikely she would recognize me as that guy who was playing country songs. That is not the path my life took.
Fast forward to today and I am a highly educated person who has been able to carve my own path in this world. By any measure, I have been successful for my age. If Taylor were not a celebrity, I believe her story would be much the same.
What you see and hear about Taylor does not scratch the surface or come near the reality. The claims about her doing things for publicity, being an uncaring person, or using others are nowhere near an accurate description of the person I grew to know. Taylor is a kind, caring, compassionate person who wants nothing more than to love and be loved. Her acts of charity are not acts of publicity, they are acts of character. She has earned and deserves her career. Knowing her as I did, I cannot help but believe she often longs for normalcy, anonymity, and questions what it would be like if she were simply Taylor to this day - not the celebrity, but another person who lived life without being subjected to the critiques, comments, and ridicule.
I knew Taylor for Taylor, she was wonderful. In the unlikely event she reads this, I apologize for not writing back and hope she understands why I made that decision. I kicked myself for years - not because of the fame she found, but because of the friend I loss.
Taylor, I am proud of how far you have made it in this world.
Note:
Me and approximately 8.3k Quora-ers agreed that this guys story is genuine.
***
Steve Parr - a quora-er, answered this (from the same Quora page):
I’ve met Taylor Swift twice, both while I was working for Taylor Guitars.
The first time was at the Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim, California. She was there with her father who BEGGED Bob Taylor to let her play on our performance stage. I think she was about 15 at the time. She was nervous and her songs weren’t great, but she was beaming and very appreciative of the time given her.
The second time was when she held her album release party for Fearless (2008) at the Taylor factory in El Cajon, CA. There was a nationwide contest where two people were flown from each state to San Diego to attend the party, get a meet & greet and attend a private concert for a total of about 250 people. I was heavily involved in photography, so the production company hired me to shoot the meet & greet and the concert.
When she arrived at our factory for that event, she came in through the back of our shipping warehouse. As she walked through, she greeted everyone, giving them a long, solid hug while saying “hello”. Now, some of these guys were hardcore warehouse types who were dirty and sweaty. That didn’t matter to Swift. She didn’t have to do what she did, but she did it. I thought that spoke highly of her character.
So, yeah, she’s really a nice person…
Note:
If you familiar with Emotional Intelligence, Daniel Goleman, you probably remember the first few pages about "bus driver" story. This guy spread the joy with his inert kindnest. He was the example of emotional intelligence that Goleman referred to.
Reading the above testimony remind me of the bus driver. If you think Taylor Swift doesn't atleast possess a lil of EI, then I think you need to re-think about how you view the world - and start to trust humanity act of kindnest again.
***
Final thought:
Really I could copy paste dozen of testimonials out there about Taylor Swift. Esp from fans who lucky enough to meet her in person during secret sessions. They are not only being loyal to Taylor because they led by 'blindness' by Taylor's charm - but more because I could see that Taylor had touched their heart with her genuinely nice behaviours. Treating her fans as in the highest value, is one of Taylor's rare quality as human being.
Not to mention, Taylor has been involved in many charitably acts through out the years - a very good role model not only to youth but to all of us in general. I could say that her parents have raised her well and influenced her to continue being grounded.
Oh yes, I am fully aware that Taylor Swift is mere human with all the flaws and far from perfection - and I have no doubt that she awares of it too - nevertheless, if one lacking in appreciation toward others and only focus in finding every lil dirts, as haters would be, well that speaks more about them compare to the object of their rants. That just like one unconsciously noticed their own version of 'elephant in the room', but rather than face it - they cowardly projecting it to other. And public figure, esp a sweet lollipop like Taylor, sadly always an easy target achery.

False God, Kaylor's New Anthem
False God - the sexiest part of the album, Lover, (similar to the flirtatious Dress in Reputation) to me personally, has a intriguing meaning. I have searched the web to see what analyses so far regarding the lyrics. Nothing much, mostly saying that it is about Joe Alwyn. Okay, let's debunk this one. 'Cause I also know that Kaylors have an interpretation from the gay's angle.
I think, I can speak on both perspectives, since I've been in both. I once married, however my biggest love life relationship was with woman. So, I am really curious to know, in what angle did Taylor actually write this song.
***
We were crazy to think. Crazy to think that "this" could work -> okay, since almost everyone out there agree that FG about love/relationship, so "this" referring to Taylor relationship (lover).
Now, don't you think it kinda strange that Taylor having a doubt about her relationship with Joe? I mean, she was 27th when she first met Joe & with enough experiences in relationship already, not to mention Joe is also coming from almost the same background, apart from different country and Joe gained celebrity status from the cinematic industry, but still I mean, what is so crazy about starting a "heteronormative" relationship like that?
Unless... she was talking about a "different kind" of relationship - something, which in general, still being perceived as 'abnormal'...
Hmmm, interesting.
But wait, there's another way to translate it, that somehow during that moment she was having an existential crisis. She questioned a lot of thing: the meaning of being celebrity i.e. she worked so hard to pursue her dream whilst at the same time she was devastated by the facts that people whom she thought once friends, stabbed her from the back - or that strangers would start to belittle & mocking her for everything - she had trust issue, she started losing confidence, she hold grudge, she was in emotional turbulance (these loosely translation based on her interviews).
Hence: she thought to drag someone to her "crazy" world would be tenacious.
Remember how I said I'd die for you? --> seems like she was really madly in love here
We were stupid to jump --> yet they've decided to taste the water anyhow
In the ocean separating us. Remember how I'd fly to you?
--> ok, again, this does fit Joe. Cause taking it in literal sense, then it probably about her had to fly back n forth US-UK.
However, Karlie still fits the role as well, I think, since they both doing a busy life, mostly continental apart.
Whoever it was for, metaphorically speaking it is about how she was making a sacrifice for the relationship to work.
And I can't talk to you when you're like this
--> later we would comprehend that Taylor was talking about a moment when her and lover had some feud. When she restrospected how during the couple-fight, her beau would:
Staring out the window
(I imagine her beau stood still, in silence, gazed through the window) avoiding to look her in the face, thus she thought:
like I'm not your favorite town
!!! What is her beau fave town?
I'm New York City
(yeah, baby!) And whose fav city is New York? Karlie Kloss!
"Well, Joe can also regard NYC as his fave city..." True - but, Taylor wouldn't be writing something that has no common reference to it. I've googled Joe's city preference and came out with null results. While as for Karlie Kloss, almost everywhere - you can find her boasting around about how much she loves NYC. As a matter of fact - she was the one who convinced Taylor to move to NYC in 2014 (and Taylor has been in love to the city, since).
Furthermore the next lyrics kinda congruent to the above speculation:
I still do it for you, babe
--> "I moved to NYC still staying here to date because of you." See, it still a close referrence to Karlie.
Can you come out with different translation that lead to Joe, instead? If you do, please let me know in the comment.
They all warned us about times like this. They say the road gets hard and you get lost
--> this one is really interesting. We all know Joe and Taylor still together and that Taylor somehow bragging about how happy in relationship she is now. But here as if like her saying that 'something happened to the couple' in FG story. Something big and terrible - something that might cause them to split/break apart.
And she kinda blame, the reason why it happened cause:
When you're led by blind faith. Blind faith
--> what is the meaning of "blind faith" in term of falling in love? Yes, when you are so in love that you are willing to do anything to retain or to be in it. You disregard everything, cause you are so drunk inside the pool of love, lust, altogether. You become 'blind'.
Ok, let's speak in het point a view, first - do you think, you see a magical spark when seeing Joe with Taylor out and about? Hard to tell? Okay, fair enough.
But here, an excerpt from Rolling Stone interview:
Her paused after accentuated the word "if"... to me is her showing hesitation even doubt to the idea of having a family.
Kinda weird coming from her current public image in Lover Era where she continue asserting how happy she is and how seems like, she has found the love of her life.
Further in FG she asserted that she is madly in love with someone whom she willing to die for - to fly across ocean for - so much intoxicated by love as if like having a blind faith!
Unless... the love of her life which she depicted in FG is...
in which because of that, for her to think of the ideas of: 'to be together, be a family'; would be a crazy notion and hard to imagine.
***
Yet, she also made it clear in FG, despite the odd, she was not ready to release the idea of 'stick together for good', because she thought there is still possibility that:
(But) we might just get away with it
***
The following lyrics to me, kinda raw and blatant:
Religion's in your lips. Even if it's a false god. We'd still worship.
(We might just get away with it)
The altar is my hips.
Lips & hips -> you imagine anything? (Lol).
Why False God? Clearly, she still talking about love:
Even if it's a false god. We'd still worship this love.
So in another word, Taylor using False God as a metaphor for passionate love she was experiencing with someone.
But why False God?
My take using gay perspective: is because we know how most religions condemn homosexuality. So with probably her involved in the same sex relationship, which would be considered sin or false by many, this probably her way of saying: "I don't care. I have all the rights to love whomever I want to love, regardless what society in heterenormative world would think!"
Next:
I know heaven's a thing. I go there when you touch me, honey. Hell is when I fight with you. But we can patch it up good. Make confessions and we're begging for forgiveness. Got the wine for you.
In general sense, the narrative here is about normal things happen in relationship. It's about having differences inside romance - a fight, a quarrel- then "kiss and make up".
But again, it is interesting how she chose the religious term like 'hell' and 'heaven' to equate her romantic endeavours.
This can't stop me from thinking that she actually is talking about sacred-secret love which against religious belief.
(Again, her way in saying: "I don't care your heaven or hell! I have my own, in this love-life story of mine!").
I would also like to re-iterate: "Got the wine for you" - seemingly her 'make up' sentence for her beau. But it is interesting to think about her chosen word "wine" there. It could mean literally that they both do love wine or...
"intimate love" - ok very much correlated. Yet further from the same source (wiki), wine (alcohol in general) often perceived as "evil".
So in which way, Taylor denoted "wine"? If its in devilish way, yes, then it is another mockery from her to religious dogma as if like saying: "I don't mind being perceived as evil. Me and lover will continue doing what we are doing!"
And you can't talk to me when I'm like this. Daring you to leave me just so I can try and scare you.
Hehe, so woman, don't you think? ;)
You're the West Village. You still do it for me, babe.
A shout out to Kaylors on this. Cause west village in literal meaning is a place where Karlie once lived.
Is there any other meaning for West Village? Yes, a big maybe. But unfortunately, I couldn't find any. Perhaps, you can dig on that and tell me later?
Finally, when come back to:
They all warned us about times like this. They say the road gets hard and you get lost
--> if we persevere with Karlie's scenario - then one could imagine this depiction is perfectly suitable to the Kaylors conspiracy theory.
How we speculated that their relationship in trouble - they chose to beard for their career sake - beside continue "behind the scene" with their LOVE that worthy eternal worshipping.
Sounds too delusional?
Perhaps. But since it is still a blank space, one owns a prerogative to write things accordingly. And False God is a love letter from Taylor Swift to Karlie Kloss? I'd say ameen to that!

Update: Joe Alwyn Fave City (thank you @dodsdmr for this info)
Why People Shipping (Kaylor)?
Falling to the rabbit hole in the Kaylor fandom, meaning we intentionally shipping Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss to be "alternatively" in relationship despite not publicly acknowledged or announced.
This alternate reality is our way to push the agenda that suit our needs. Is it healthy or psychologically destructive?
Before we revealed the scientific studies regarding it, I would like to, first, remind everyone to breathe while reading this. Do not get frantic if one feels exposed - the genuine intention of this writing is to understand our-SELF better not to point a finger.
I have to say, I am very much concern when reading few of Kaylors getting highly distressed over knowing that the conspiracy theory around Kaylor Fandom, may collapse over recent development (e.g. Dressgate) or may need re-interpretation.
When I read their writing, I felt overwhelmed knowing how deep they have involved their real life into this fantasy world - hence some need to reset few buttons cause the probability of Kaylors being mere an imaginary tale somehow directly made an impact into their welbeing.
I get that these certain Kaylors are young and still in the middle of "existential crisis" hence implicitly plunge to certain role models to help supporting their backbone without precautionary aware of the 'fact' that their fantasy may not necessarily be-comes true.
What also disheartening to witness is how some "fictional" and "virtual" characters had made their assertation of their supposedly questionable remarks as undisputable. Thus adding more fuel to the fire.
We all know by then, people who are hungry for assurances - gladly accepting any 'seemingly' source's leak.
If one needs to blame names - then yeah, these people with "the claiming" certainly the guilty part.
***
Bringing this subject to the surface is my way to remind my fellow LGBTQ - young friends out there to be fully conscious on what we were doing in the shipping train. We ought not to overdue in doing - we must leave certain doubts and critical mindsets in our thinking process. We also need to, unceasingly, remind ourselves that the shipping is mere a game and man-made toy - something that we intentionally choose to delight ourselves. If we went beyond that boundary, the danger which lurking behind the curtain will start to emerge.
As one study revealed:
***
Again, a friendly reminder here, start decoding your own motives. The main problem here is not asking "why" to celebrities like Taylor Swift or Karlie Kloss - but to ask ourselves the "why". Whatever reality that we currently hold is mere a mirror to our inner state of wellbeing.
If you, at the moment, feeling crash and burn, simply because in your thought Taylor Swift or Karlie Kloss had dissapointed you somehow, then it is a good wakeup call to start digging yourself on what is in you that being affected that need to be set free.
I know, being minority or marginal in society, for my fellow LGBTQ friends, far from easy. But as Taylor always want her fans to know and learn: "everyone is unique and has their own specific role in life" - find that one!
Hopefully, at the end of the day, falling to the rabbit hole in Kaylors imaginary world - would actually help you finding your-SELF along the way.
