#kaylor masterpost

Welcome. You’re probably here because you’ve started to think that pop superstar Taylor Swift is… Shall we say… A teeny bit fruity… And you know what? You’re not alone. Many people think that. In fact, over the course of her illustrious career, gay rumors have continuously cropped up linking her to various women. Do I know for a fact that this is what happened? Lmao no. But I (with the help of various friends but mostly importantly @adastrabella) tried to explain what might’ve happened.

Nashville - A two-shot about the Nashville rep show

This song has so many parallels to Delicate (2017) and both songs are centered around a friends with benefits situation. (there is no disputing this i’m sorry but it’s a fact at this point)

“It’s cool, that’s what I tell em, no rules” = let’s keep this casual, no strings attached

“I love you ain’t that the worst thing you ever heard” = Taylor caught feelings, making them no longer casual

“I’m always waiting for you just to cut to the bone” = the ~cruel summer~ has made Taylor jaded and pessimistic. She’s waiting for the other person to hurt her by not feeling the same way

“I don’t wanna keep secrets just to keep you” = Taylor wants to confess her feelings, but if the other person doesn’t feel the same, they’ll have to end their casual relationship.

“It’s new, the shape of your body” = Cruel Summer is about the beginning of a relationship. How can the song be about Kaylor when they met in November, which was in winter?? I know what you’re thinking. 

“But it can’t be about toe because the timeline doesn’t make sense!!” 

The Hiddleswift breakup article came out on the 6th of September 2016. Most people think they broke up before that and i agree but let’s just go with early September for argument’s sake.

This masterpost is going to contain a collection of articles that reference Karlie and Taylor and/or suspicions that Taylor might not be straight - starting in April of 2019. Also here’s the link to the website version. Enjoy!

APRIL 2019:

VULTURE:

What the Hell Do All These Taylor Swift Clues Mean? An Investigation

“My personal favorite theory hails from the Kaylor shippers, the faction of Swifties that believes that Taylor Swift and her former BFF Karlie Kloss were romantically involved. The theory is that Swift has been dropping hints about her love for Karlie Kloss since the Reputation era. On Tuesday night, Kaylor shippers picked up on something crucial: During Taylor’s performance of “New Years Day” at the TIME 100 Gala, Swift seemingly changed the lyrics from “I want your midnights” to “I want her midnights” not once, but twice. “New Years Day” is the final track on Reputation, which, in theory, could segue into the “next chapter…”

Also, the Reputation CD skin pictures a collaged photo of the pop star — but Kaylors think it’s actually a dual image of Swift and Kloss, which sends the incognito message that they are one. That collage-image theme is bleeding into this new album cycle, too — we’ve seen it used again in photos from her Elle U.K. photo shoot. In the Reputation song “So It Goes,” Swift sings, “Cut me into pieces, gold cage hostage to my feelings, and our pieces fall right into place.” Swift loves a puzzle, and these images actually look like puzzle pieces. Plus, some Swifties hilariously posit that her Instagram of chickens wearing sunglasses was a reference to Taylor and Karlie in sunglasses — the “chicks,” if you will. She wants us to solve the Kaylor puzzle, you guys.”

A literal timeline. Built from receipts from many Kaylor blogs.

You can see the innocence and hurt of first love with Emily the first two albums (after debut cuz it doesn’t count lol) and a tiny bit of Red…then the toxicity of dianna(like wow that was a fucked up relationship lol) and then (on/off)again into 1989 a bit, then how taylor dealt with Getaway Car(speculates to be written long ago, about Dianna and “him” being her publicist at the time and breaking the heterosexual narrative that Dianna accidentally took her seriously on, since she proposed and Taylor declined out of fear) and then blaming Diana’s commitment issues and taylor’s PR public mess of how she’s viewed in the world (blank space and OOTW with Harry who was apparently a depressing mutual bearding contract cut short out of guilt)…to her meeting Karlie with Gorgeous and the rest of 1989 to their story written accordingly thereafter month by month, meaning a lot of Lover was written before Rep but the timelines do intermingle.

So many receipts and empathy and relatedness now all so much clearer and homegirl is STRONG. and human. And super clever lol

Highly recommend this! Thanks for the submission!
