i haven't been on social media for awhile, forgive me if this has already been discussed/considered, since taylor sang new years day at the show that karlie went to, do we think anything significant is going to happen on new year's day 2024? 

I'm actually not sure anon! I think some people speculate she might announce reputation tv on new years, but I think mostly people don't know.

References to Early Unreleased Songs In "seven" By Taylor Swift

"seven" is a combination of references to two unreleased 2004 TS songs: "Sweet Tea & Gods Graces" and "Your Face".

(Basically, this is undeniable evidence that seven is based on a real experience of Taylor’s).

Sweet Tea & God's Graces

"Tire swings, summer dreams, honeysuckle on the breeze Wilson County creek"

"Please picture me In the trees I hit my peak at seven feet In the swing Over the creek"

//

"Sweet tea in the summer Cross your heart, won't tell no other And though I can't recall your face I still got love for you"

"You can get high on a first kiss You can get by with sweet tea and God's graces You can love like a sinner and lose like a winner Nothing's shatterproof"

Your Face

"I don't want to lose your face And I don't want to wake up one day And not remember what time erased"

"And though I can't recall your face I still got love for you"

Reminder of the time that Karlie was happy to tell “baaaabe” about Dita being behind her. 🙈

I was listening to paris again today and I was struck again by how jarring I find this lyric:

Sit quiet by my side in the shade And not the kind that's thrown I mean, the kind under where a tree has grown

Like, I'm sorry, but I hate it. It's awkward and not that clever on face value. But then. I remembered this lyric from YNTCD:

'Cause shade never made anybody less gay so

I'm sure I'm not the first person to think of this, but I'm realizing that she's bringing attention to the fact that we all misinterpreted this lyric originally. Or rather, that there are two meanings. The first is the obvious one: being subjected to homophobia doesn't make people less gay. But the second is a bit more subtle: being closeted doesn't make a person less gay.

She's saying that she's not out and openly gay in the sunlight, but that doesn't make her any less so. Also, I think it's a beautiful reference to Tree Paine, her publicist, who shields her and protects her and helps her stay safe in the closet.

A Singular History (Or the story of 1989 as told by its Singles)

A (late) New Year’s gift.

I issue fair warning that this comes in at over 6,000 words (that’s around 13 pages). There is a brief summary at the very end, however, if anyone is interested.

***

‘I make the moves up as I go,“ Swift sings in "Shake It Off.” Nothing has ever more clearly been a lie.’(x)

***

Singles are, in many ways, the ideal promotional vehicle, not least because the myriad ‘interpretative’ possibilities provided by a music video are enough to ensure that, in cases where commercial interest usurps other considerations* even the most unlikely candidate can satisfactorily be re-imagined in confirmation (or contradiction) of popular sentiment. Every ‘single’ is thus not only potentially expository of artistic vision and ‘character’ but, in all probability will be used actively to delimit, refine and, occasionally, revise (in response to new, and unforeseen, circumstances) those same variables.  

*It is not unreasonable to suppose that the vast majority of singles - and particularly lead singles - are chosen by an artist, principally if not exclusively, because they offer a useful complement to a specific (and specially advantageous) narrative. That is – they serve in some way to foreground one or multiple of an album’s themes. They may also, more significantly, shape public perception of the artist’s personality.

The singles from 1989 cannot realistically be considered exceptions to this, either individually or as a group.

I can’t get over Taylor’s performance of Lover on the BBC literally being an homage to THAT VSFS segment with Karlie.

The colors!

The details!

The YOU TWO ARE DANCING IN A SNOW GLOBE ROUND AND ROUND of it all!

[kaylorkerfuffle]

I don’t remember if I ever saw this circulate on tumblr but came across this today and 🤯🤯

The theory/idea is that Taylor’s dancing in the Delicate MV might’ve been taking inspiration from this Karlie Kloss shoot/ad from 2014.

funny how taylor didn't say "who's playing my boyfriend" but instead tHe lOvE InTeReSt gUy. 🤣

is she allergic to saying the two words "my boyfriend", cause it seems like she is. 🤭

She always says it in like a funny sarcastic way… I love her. That’s “her man” 😂

[asteracaea]

the way i held my breath when she took beat beat beat before deciding upon "love interest"

[karlie-what-you-want]

She did NOT want to say boyfriend

She barely seemed to get out “love interest guy” hahaha. That tells me everything I need to know about what the video represents and who the haze is to protect, because it’s certainly not Hollywood’s eventual-next-someday leading man

Still giggling over this… it’s giving

Taylor and Karlie dating girls!?

1 || Karlie Kloss, 2011 "Do you have time for a boyfriend?" Karlie: "A boyfriend? Okay, ahm... more or less. You know, it's I have a... Actually, no comment, no comment."

2 || Taylor Swift, 2013 "I don't know if there can be any reason. I don't have a type. I don't really think to hard about what people think or why to like someone. It doesn't have to be any particular reason. But I don't know... I think in our 20s it is kind of like ... Oh I guess I'll try hanging out with him, or hanging out with her... or trying being single."

3 || Karlie Kloss, April 2014 "How do you get the boy? How do you have the time? How do you maintain these relationships? Where does that come in into it when you are never off a plane?" Karlie: "Oftentimes that's a thing that you just don't have time for. It's like, you know, I don't know about you, girls? How do you balance?" Rosie: "I always had time for boys..." Karlie: "She always makes time. I know. Priorities!" Rosie: "That was a priority, yeah. I think ´cause you are so lonely. I think a lot of models have relationships and longterm relationships because it's the one thing that brings you back." Karlie: "But it is true, whether it's a boyfriend, whether it's a girlfriend" Rosie: "a mam" Karlie: "whether it's a friend or a mam, having a support system, having a rock, having someone... and i think that's why you said long.. you know sort of... having someone that is there for you, that cares about you..."

How do you get the boy? Taylor released "How you get the girl" in October 2014. #coincident

Here are the moments in one video:

This is all I could think of right now. Please add more!
