For those of you who don’t know, Spade is a supposed Taylor Swift insider that visits @taytaysbeard‘s Kaylor/PR-focused blog to drops nuggets of information in the form of riddles. There are many fierce believers, as well as deniers. I went back to see all of Spade’s riddles and analyze them with a critical eye. 

Let’s get started!

THE SECRET ROOM

In the music video for “Lover,” Taylor sets up the snow globe moment from “You Are In Love” as the promise of a home together with her love. She uses the metaphor of a doll’s house to take us inside this love, a “house with many rooms” (quote from Yann Martel). 

What we should know about the house?

It’s a rainbow. 

Notably, the bedroom is a warm, enveloping, feminine pink.

Or we could call it 

Pynk, like the inside of your… baby Pynk behind all of the doors… crazy Pynk, like the tongue that goes down… maybe Pynk, like the paradise found Pynk when you’re blushing inside… baby Pynk is the truth you can’t hide… maybe Pynk, like the folds of your brain… crazy Pynk as we all go insane

Across the way is a blue bathroom, which contains a giant fishbowl. 

In it, we see a Taylor already submerged, swimming. The man playing her love interest gets in and assumes a fetal position, as if he is trying to fit or not get in the way even as he clearly chose to get into the fishbowl with her. 

…a very straightforward commentary on the fishbowl in which Taylor has been swimming round and round (see what we did there?) with her public love life. It’s also the one room where they don’t touch. 

But take heart - at this late stage, Taylor may still be in the fishbowl… but her true lover has painted her golden.

Between the two rooms is a sunshine yellow closet. 

The couple do not interact in this room together at all. In fact, it is the only uninhabited room in the video. This closet appears to have almost all and only feminine clothing. In Karlie “Sunshine” Kloss yellow.

The characters pass through the closet to get to the attic - a place where memories are kept and dusted off when needed. It’s also where we see Taylor’s words - or her truth. 

That’s right - between the blue room and the pink room, a popular color scheme between which Taylor has toggled this era, is a yellow closet. 

Passing through the closet is the only way to reach the memories, the real life love story, Taylor has shown us.

The rest is a series of tiny performances in a doll’s house.
