I love people who entertain

I think she’s going to ramp up the PR and bearding while simultaneously ramping up the queer signaling until it reaches a crescendo and the volcano erupts and the glass castle/ceiling shatters (x)(x)(x). This connects to this ♠️ riddle: “You and I became us and we. There we stood, no frets to be. My hand in yours, our hearts intwined. The sound it came, in slow pitched waves. Higher and higher, deep fears it raised. Reaching an amplitude, a crack it made. Hold me close, hold me tight. This glass castle will shatter tonight. - 12/04/2019.” I think this is the “chaos” she’s been hinting at (x)(x)(x)(x). “Be as clever as a god Translating seeds of hope There's purpose in confusion Slowly untangling the many ropes” (x) -> Many gaylors have been saying that the contradictions are the whole point and part of the performance art. I think the split in the narrative is referring to Taylor pushing these 2 contradicting narratives at the same time.

I think it’s super interesting that before TLOAS era when Taylor still had these posts pinned on her insta ⬇️, the yellow brick road led directly to the pinned post where she’s holding both the eras tour book with lesbian flag colors 🧡🤍🩷🌈 and TTPD vinyl with the gray album cover 🩶🏈 (x). This seems very intentional bc she had these posts like this for several months from Nov/Dec 2024 to May 2025 when she posted about owning her masters which ended this social media hiatus.

“Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye. And also…hello!” 👋🦋 // “🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Endings are beginnings, a shift of footing they say. A new era to flourish and thrive… - November 23, 2022” // “🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 The New Year midnight is nearly upon us. As we March into the sunset, 2022 is not the only thing that will expire at midnight. A fresh page…a new chapter. Au revoir, à bientôt en tournée. - December 30, 2022”

Taylor references The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost in ‘tis the damn season and illicit affairs. I think her hypothetical coming out 🧡🤍🩷🌈 that the yellow brick road leads to is “the road not taken” bc she didn’t come out in 2019 like we theorize she wanted to. So the split in the narrative is like a literal fork in the road like in The Road Not Taken. This matches with Gracie’s Risk mv where there’s a visualization of this split in the narrative at the 2:55 timestamp. She has the choice of continuing to follow the man she’s stalking (I think he could represent heteronormativity/the patriarchy/bearding) OR going the opposite direction to Betty’s house where she (James/Peter) can apologize with a cake (I believe the Mess It Up mv is a direct continuation of the Risk mv).

He stood tall and held out a respectful hand, for the shaking of course!

"My name is Mr. Sunny! And now I am just so curious of what wonders this circus holds! Mind giving me a tour of sorts?"

Agility competition last week was so, so rough. Pumpkin did not perform well. This 4-H project though—these people are incredible! The person in charge sat down with E this week and provided some practical suggestions on what to do differently to help both she and Pumpkin move forward.

Today they competed in showmanship and obedience. Our dog, who last week ate an entire bag of hot dog buns off the counter, placed second in obedience. Last year, they didn’t place at all in showmanship. This year, they took first. Woot! Then they got to compete for grand champion. E didn’t win, but again, the judge was so helpful and kind in taking time to explain to E what she needed to do differently.

E came home happy. Pumpkin came home tired. It’s a win for both.
