Is it just me or are the new TIME photos giving Marlene Dietrich and Katharine Hepburn?
For the younger crowd, they were old Hollywood sapphics. Huge ass stars of their time
Midnights duality (part 2): Meet me at midnight
So, we’ve established that Midnights is the era where Taylor makes it known that there are two versions of her story, and that the prevailing narrative can’t be trusted and she’s letting a second (conflicting) narrative exist alongside it. This brings me back to the sentence that concluded the album announcement and opened the first track: Meet me at midnight.
Sounds so simple, right? But who are we meeting at midnight? It’s not the public Taylor, because we’ve known her for a while. So it must be the private one, the one that wears trainers and a T-shirt and bleeds purple glitter. Let’s meet her.
Where, other than in the mv, do we see this private Taylor? On the big screen during the Eras tour performance of Anti Hero. And what is she doing? Screaming and waving at us before she walks off in a huff. Guess no one was there to meet her…
She is also the one taking notes when performance Taylor is doing the teaching. I find it noteworthy that the public Taylor here is dressed in 1989 outfit and is holding the pointer stick in the same way she used to swing and hold the golf club in the Blank Space performance on the 1989 tour. She is also the one slut-shaming and bullying Taylor about her weight in the bathroom scene, two things we know were very prominent during the 1989 era so this ‘Anti Hero’ villain is her 1989 self, the height of her fame and perfectly crafted public persona. So this private Taylor that we are meeting is taking notes from her 1989 self. Interesting… And even more interesting that we are now getting a vault track on 1989tv called SLUT!. And I have just learned today that we are quite possibly getting a mv for this song… so would this be the place to meet our new Taylor? I think it’s a contender.
I have said in my post about the burning Lover house, that I take from the blue flames that 1989tv will move the narrative of this new Taylor forward quite a bit and as we are nearing the release (5 days to go as I’m writing this) I get that feeling more and more. Yes, I am not blind or deaf, I am very well aware that Taylor is currently doing her very best performance of NFL player’s gf, but I actually think that furthers my duality in public narrative and performance art point from part 1. Because, while I’m sure I don’t need to give you any examples of the excessive articles and media coverage of Taylor’s outings with either MH or TK, I just want to remind you of what other articles and media coverage has emerged in recent months, and this is not a story that would have made the NY Times or Cosmopolitan even a year ago.
Yep, Gaylor has entered the mainstream media. Not something that was on my 2023 bingo card, if I’m honest. Not even during the spring and summer of 2019, during Taylor’s soft launch phase, was her queerness this openly discussed in mainstream media. And not just as a general idea, some of the articles are linking her to very specific women in the past and, as if that wasn’t enough, the women in question have promptly appeared in public, either non-denying a relationship with her (looking at you DA), or showing up at her concert after a supposed years-long feud, adding fuel to the fire. And didn’t Taylor make a spectacle of looking lovingly up at Karlie in the stands at the last LA show, a show that she hyped up enough with 1989 announcement easter eggs that she could be sure everyone was watching. She wants to give this new narrative a platform. Yes, the straight girl pap walks are happening, but so is this. Pick your narrative. Especially the inclusion of Taylor in posts from official LGBTQ charities like Stonewall and Glaad seems significant to me, because they are non-profit organisations that are dedicated exclusively to preserving and telling queer people’s stories and would never risk their reputation or seriousness of their cause by participating in clout chasing or name dropping. And I know that these two things going on simultaneously seem super confusing, but I’m starting to think the confusion is part of the act. This is the tale of the two Taylors and it’s our job to work out which is which. The Stonewall Archive specifically tagged Taylor in their post about an exhibit on media coverage and public perception… they know something we don’t.
The re-emergence of pap walks alone is something I wasn’t expecting. Over the last 7 years we have known Taylor as a private person after her turbulent 1989 era. She was mostly quiet, stayed out of the headlines, no pap walks or public appearances outside of award shows and select performances. After all, reputation Taylor told us that the old Taylor died and the new version didn’t explain anything or show her face in public much. But 2023 Taylor has felt a lot like that old Taylor, right?? The pap walks, the girl squad, the high publicity romances… So, hasn’t Taylor learned her lesson from her 1989 self after all?
I think she has, but she wants the rest of the world to eat their words and see how ridiculous this is. Will this all be part of a Slut! mv? Maybe. Or it could be a way to distract the fanbase from something else that’s going on. One very notable difference in the pap walks now is how confidently herself she is when she’s photographed with her friends or going to the studio. Back in 2014 she would leave the gym looking like she was walking the runway with not a hair out of place, and now she is walking the streets of NYC looking queer as ever. (I swear she googled ‘How to look like a lesbian’ before picking that second outfit…) And I’ve seen how much it confuses the swifties. And I’m here for it 😋 Question though, if she’s going into the studio looking this gay, is the music coming out of these sessions going to be equally💅 ?
Something is brewing and 1989tv is the next thing on the horizon, so let’s look at that.
Midnight and Sunrise
Having been introduced to our new Taylor at the beginning of Midnights, she’s taken us through the main album, then the 3am bonus tracks, to the til dawn edition. With every new midnights edition we have worked our way through the night from midnight, to 3am, to dawn. So, next would be sunrise, right? And there have actually been a few mentions of sunrise and daylight in both the 1989tv marketing and other media coverage. I’ve spoken about the midnights to daylight theory before, as it’s one that many Gaylors have speculated on, but I think there has been quite a bit of movement on this recently.
Firstly, there is the yellow 1989tv vinyl that is conveniently named the ‘Sunrise Boulevard edition’. Not only does it have the word sunrise in it, it is also a direct reference to the Stonewall National Museum & Archive, which is located on this road in Fort Lauderdale, FL. And with the emergence of all the other variations of the 1989tv vinyl, it is easy to spot that they all have a sunlit beach theme (a big change from the OG 1989 city theme!) and with the recent leak of a purple version on the website of a record shop, we now have a full rainbow of 1989tv vinyls. Sunrise and rainbows… I think I have an idea where this may be going. But hang on, there is more.
Remember when I said that the Stonewall National Archive knows something we don’t? A few days ago, they posted this on their Instagram with lyrics from Taylor’s happiness, highlighting and italicising the word sunrise and pointing everybody’s nose in the caption to their address at 1300 E Sunrise Boulevard:
This feels VERY intentional. And I’ve never really looked at the happiness lyrics in that way, having taken the song to be about Scott B and her old label, but when Stonewall is using these exact lines in that context, with a strong suggestion that they have insider knowledge, it seems worth looking at them again.
In the caption, SNMAL say that they ‘celebrate the glorious sunrise of LGBTQ+ history’ with the pride flag and sunshine emoji. So, could it be that the Sunrise Blvd vinyl and accompanying rainbow variations of 1989tv are going to bring some kind of moment in history for LGBTQ people? It certainly sounds like this is about more than just Taylor. Perhaps furthering the theory that there may be a double album on the horizon with the second one being all collaborations. Stonewall also liked a comment on this post that said that something is in the air 🌈
They also included the line about flickers of light from the dress I wore at midnight. Flickers of light, as in glimpses of her queerness? The ones we are seeing now in all those articles are social posts? The mention of a dress immediately throws my mind back to the rainbow dress that Billy Porter ended up wearing at World Pride 2019, but that was almost certainly meant for Taylor. And out of all the photos of Taylor from the VMAs this year, which one did GLAAD choose to post on their Instagram in September? Yep, the one with Billy Porter. Takes me back to 2019… and something else does too, actually: The Cruel Summer live single release.
Cruel Summer was released as a single this June, 4 years after its initial release. And almost made it to No.1. It was certainly on the radio A LOT. The Lover set is also the opening act of the Eras tour, so this summer has certainly had some 2019 throwbacks. And remember how the Lover era started? With ME! Out now! on Lesbian Visibility Day, followed by the sunshine and rainbows parade that was the mv and (as we later learned from the documentary) 'Cats, unicorns and gay pride... things that make me ME.' And now, in October 2023, Taylor released a live version of Cruel Summer and used the very photo from the 2019 shoot as a cover for the single. And not only was that a 2019 photo shoot, it was the last photo she posted on her instagram in June 2019 before she was meant to wear the dress at NYC Pride. I think she captioned it something like 'calm before the storm'. And now that photo has made a comeback. If I were a betting woman...(and I've learned better than to ever make predictions when it comes to Miss Taylor Swift these days) but if I were I'd say it looks like she's taking another run at this. Meet ME at midnight...and then follow me into the daylight. ☀
And one more thing before I conclude this monstrosity of an essay, I found Taylornation's post for the midnights anniversary last week a bit mysterious:
It says 'Tonight we celebrate an album written by the one that could make us stay. After all the sleepless nights and friendship bracelets we've shared, we hope you know you're never really on your own, kid.' Sounds a bit like a pep talk (and a plea at the same time) to me. Why do the fans need reminding of the good times and be asked to stay? Where would they go and why?? And the first picture in the carousel is our girl 'home Taylor' from the Anti Hero mv, looking contemplative, maybe waiting for someone to come and finally let her out of that house. And the photo immediately after it is Taylor as we know her, smiling for photos with her fans at the movie premier. The two Taylors again...but one is in black and white and the other is in screaming colour 😉iykyk.

This is how homophobia works:
When this can be the proof of a romantic relationship
But not this
loving how karlie casually confirmed that the initials on the pavement in soho were in fact written for her —a rep era kaylor fan theory— in the same breath that she says that her husband carved them in there, when we have literal multiple timestamped photos that show how her initials had a TS next to them years before half the pavement was ripped up and he added the J!and nobody’s batting a fucking eye!!
"We been buds for years,but we keep it on the DL" to "Happy Birthday Karlie Kloss!"
I love that!
DL friendship you gotta love! Thank you Gwyneth!
I need to fully break this down because I haven’t calmed down yet about Gwyneth doing this today
Gwyneth makes a Christmas time sex toy commercial where she drops a toy into a bag labeled just for Taylor. Around the same day as KK drops her WSJ article
Gwyneth gives KK a birthday shoutout today on her ig stories
AND THE POST IMMEDIATELY BEFORE IT IN Gwyneth’s story is this!!!!!
And in the pic Gwynpal posted for Karlie, Karlie is wearing the same green top she was wearing in her 10 mil follower celebration post from 12/26/21
Karlie included a clip from the same day as the 10 mil follower pic in her IG reel for her bday today
12/26 was 13 days after Taylor’s bday.
Karlie captioned the post rumor has it.
And on 5/20 Gwyneth answered this question.
76 days before Karlie’s bday (7+6=13)
This was so loud
Submission:
Hi Spade! I admit I had my doubts whether the girls are still together or not, but Taylor confirmed it for me (that they’re still going strong) with the IBYTAM music video. So I thought now is a good time to share this presentation I did a while ago - it’s about all the KK connections in Taylor’s music.

In this scene, the bride is only pretending to be in love with the groom while the spotlight is on. When it shuts off, she immediately leaves.
This is so obviously about the Jerklie wedding, I can’t get over it.
Screenshot 1) Waiting around for the show to begin. Note in the background there’s conversations going on, someone’s sitting, someone’s crossing their arms waiting. The bride (representing KK) is sitting on the ground in her dress before the dance because it’s not actually significant to her. (You couldn’t have paid me to do this in my tulle wedding dress).
Screenshot 2) The spotlight is on and the show is beginning. The bride takes a deep breath (like this is tough for her) and meets the groom in the spotlight. Everyone in the background is now watching the show and playing their parts. The groom pulls the bride in kind of forcefully like he’s exerting his control.
Screenshots 3 and 4) The show goes on. The bride is attentive and staring into the groom’s eyes.
Screenshots 5 and 6) The spotlight shuts off and the bride immediately disengages as she turns and walks away, revealing her sneakers (we all know the real world significance of). Underneath the pomp is the unglamorous reality.

a good thread about the background to Taylor’s re-recordings and the impact they will have... the thing that most people assumed in the consequent onsale to shamrock for $300k is that despite the re-recordings most people would still stream the old versions of her songs and therefore produce a return on investment for them, the sync rights while important are only a small percentage of the income a song might generate with most of the income coming from streaming and they believe that this is the key assumption in coming to the figure that was ultimately paid for the masters. So while Taylor can’t necessarily force the old versions out through exercising the mechanical rights situation, we can actively choose the new versions to buy and to stream and block the old version on streaming, we are the “unforseeable factor” as Taylor likes to say and we can severely dent the value of Taylor’s old masters and prevent any coin from flowing to the SBs, so let’s keep going and keep the energy up for every single re-recording she releases we got this y’all, we can show them just how much they miscalculated the unforseeable factor
Idk who needs to hear this but like... Taylor was like a major independent artist her entire career 💀 she had to earn that shit herself, built a label from the groun up herself, paid for her music videos herself
this is completely true and the most underrated part about her. people instead focus on her dad owning a single digit percentage of the company (which was brand new, so not like... insane amounts of money) taylor WALKED AWAY from a large label because she wanted to release a full LP so bad. she took a chance on a man who left a large label as well. she made that place everything it is today. SHE sat on the floor and sent CDs of her singles to radio. SHE baked cookies and other goods for hosts to promote. SHE wrote her songs. SHE created the themes of her albums, tours, merch designs. SHE decided to use social media HER WAY to interact with fans and authentially grow. Taylor Swift made herself who she is. Yes, she had help from a team as she grew, she had a family with money who supported her, but NEVER, EVER dismiss how much work it was for a TEEN GIRL to put herself out there like that. In a male dominated genre. With radio that is still explicitly sexist.
Well our boy Jack went off in his stories 🙏🏼
Wow 😳
Still can’t believe Taylor x Dolly happened.
Happy Kaylor Meet Cute 7 Year Anniversary!! 🥰😘 🥂❤

In 2012, Karlie Kloss modelled for W magazine in a feature shot by Nick Knight and styled by Edward Enninful. The shoot, Sweet Escape, is available online.
Throughout the 12 images, a few moments may make you think of the aesthetic surrounding Taylor Swift's album Lover, released in 2019. But this 👇 was an unmistakeable inspiration:

Karlie in that 2012 shoor even has "tattoos" snaking up her arm like Lover Taylor does on her back. Whuuut.
This 👇 is a little white rabbit
What do rabbits do? They leave Easter eggs and go down rabbit holes.
This thoughtful bunny, with the bright blue eyes that match Karlie's "Klimt Eye Wave" dress, has even brought a basket to fill with the eggs we find...
