@gaylorstuff
i don’t think y’all get it. sweet tea in the summer. cross my heart won’t tell no other. and though i can’t recall your face i still got love for you. your braids like a pattern love you to the moon and to saturn. passed down like folk songs. our love lasts so long.
Taylor Swift is going to Hell for comparing her own c*m to communion wine in False God, oral sex and orgasms is NOT part of the Eucharist, the Pope himself would condemn her for blaspheming by perverting such an important Catholic rite with her extreme horniness before he'd condemn her for portraying a lesbian relationship in False God if he ever saw her in person.
genuinely sometimes i feel like im having a mental break when i read my inbox
the only thing i “stan” is abortion
I think ME! was chosen as lead in conjunction with her plans on coming out tbh - I feel like that's what inspired her to write it to begin with, and it makes me really curious if the documentary originally actually included this narrative. Brendon's comments in regards to the single always stick out to me: "Thank you for allowing me to be apart of your story."
yeah i think that’s possible!
i watched it begin again -- for anon

WHAT THE FUCK DID TAYLOR JUST POST WTF THIS WOMAN IS SO FUCKING INSANE AND UNHINGED SHHSHSJHDHDHSJHDHD
Taylor be like let me talk about an unhinged vault door and drop these scrambled up letters and watch chaos ensue! NOW DECODE BITCHES
I can’t stop laughing at Jack’s face at that part.
The body language of everyone else is soooooooooo interesting here, not how you’d expect your friends to react to you thanking your partner
Aaron gave Joe his own paragraph on his long, heartfelt Grammy post. I believe Toe is fake, and even tho I have plenty of doubts about Kaylor, I’ve tried to be optimistic about their current status... but this is just too much at this point. Not to mention Josh posting about the baby, presumably a boy, minutes before Taylor’s performance. Like... how can we ignore all these things and keep believing?
Believe me anon, I‘ve been there. But somehow, when I think about yesterday, all I see is Taylor making history. 👑 Everything else is just outside noise.
I firmly believe Kaylor is alive and well, but they‘re choosing to hide. So the only thing I‘m focusing on right now is Taylor and her music. Not her public persona and all the drama that comes with it.
PS: Don’t you think it‘s weird that nobody even knew who William Bowery was when they talked about him (?) during the LPSS and now suddenly Aaron Dessner claims to have some sort of friendship with Toe? Taylor herself said she‘s only been in the same room with Aaron once (during the LPSS). So when would Toe have had the time to form an „unforgettable friendship“ with Aaron when he wasn‘t even there? 🤔
I fully believe that her and her collaborators saying Joe so openly now is code for someone else. Hence the laughs and smiles during her speech. The number of people she convinces to take part in the games always kind of astounds me. I really think the world of celebrity is just on a different plane of reality and their actions there have a different moral weight.
First of all, I’d like to say I’m SO happy for Taylor. Folklore definitely deserved it, though I think Cardigan also deserved an award, but at least she got AOTY. Secondly, why would Taylor set J0e up like that? What happens in the future when an interviewer asks him about the creative process behind writing songs with THE Taylor Swift? Will he talk out of his ass? Will he avoid the question? And what if a director asks him to sing for a movie? Will he refuse? A lie as big as “he’s one of the creative minds behind the album of the year 2020” can be so easily disproved I wonder why she chose to go this route...
If I ever met Taylor, this is the one topic I would want to ask her about.
This is such a good question and one I’ve wondered about as well. Like, people not in the know may want to work with him now since he is so supposedly musically gifted. Is he gonna disappear into obscurity to cover the lies? He already is a ghost of a human TBH. He only shows up when Taylor needs him. We don’t get pap shots of him living his daily life. I often feel like Taylor finds herself too clever and loses touch with reality in regards to all the lies and cover ups. Untruths always come out eventually and the more you stack up, the faster they fall apart. She’s definitely at a tipping point more so than any other time in her career.
Not that Taylor has ever really cared about kaylors, I'm gonna be blunt here all we've been to her is useful idiots, but what she did last night will only bring more hate our way. Of course it's unimportant to her. But when the Grammys excitement subsides and the antis get bored again, they'll have more ammunition than ever to come after us, shut our blogs down, shame and mock us into silence. Is it worth it to be a kaylor anymore? No. She should stop with the Karlie allusions and let us go...
Oh there are some antis already here in my inbox. They did not wait long.

Taylor didn't have to use Joe's name, or throw the shippers a bone by giving them fanfic about their lives together. She could have just said "my boyfriend" and winked "William Bowery" and played it off as a joke. Everyone would have been happy. But she chose to hit us again. When she thanked the fans I honestly didn't even feel included among them after that. It was really sad but it's how I felt. Taylor cares more for the homophobes and fence-sitters in her fandom than she does for us.
SR: I am trying to stay out of the negativity as this was a big moment for her. But, your not wrong. As excited as we all were to watch and root for her, our night was quickly soured, and then our inboxes were lit up. I will never understand why she takes away from her own special moments with stunts. Beyonce got great headlines today (all about her and her music). Taylor gave her headlines away to Mr. Nobody.
It’s so funny to me too because Beyoncé got all her own cred as she should and who was actually present and helped her walk off the stage? Her husband. Being a real life supportive partner and yet that doesn’t get mentioned in any article headline bc she didn’t make the night about her husband. Taylor chose violence when she said Joe and Aaron was told to post as well. Joe is definitely code now but that doesn’t matter. Their little inside jokes are like a bunch of adults playing middle school at this point. How Toes believe that Joe is this amazingly talented human that inspires Taylor to write timeless lyrics about true love is honestly beyond me when we never see him besides when they are walking outside near pap cameras. Why aren’t there any cute candids? Why don’t we have pics of them out to eat like we do with karlie. Pics of them shopping? Like we do with Karlie. Pics of them cooking together? Like we do with Karlie. Yes the Karlie pics are before they went into hiding but the point is, Taylor has shown us what her real relationships look like and it’s a 180 from her bearding.

Well saying she co-wrote Exile with Toe didn’t do the trick after all, did it? It’s a shame bc this was my favorite song from Folklore, but she only sent it to alternative radio, didn’t perform it once and instead used Toe to promote it. What was the result? An at best mediocre song by two women(!) won. Grammys are sexist and racist, but you know sometimes you don’t have to play into their game.

Oh man! I’m so sad exile lost, it was one of my favs. On the other hand I gotta admit… It’s very ironic that she straightwashed the living shit out of her songs and particularly exile so they would appeal more to grammy voters, only to lose to two women, one who’s a gay icon and the other who has a gigantic gay fan base, and their silly superficial pop song. It’s like the universe is trying to tell her something. (stop attributing your music to Joe, Taylor). If only she would ever listen.
An ask I received that sounded similar to this:
Anonymous said:
Taylor’s already lost 2 of her 6 nominations. I’m sad exile didn’t win cause it’s such a good song but she didn’t promo it enough. I guess the WB reveal and consequent articles weren’t enough. Obviously. But who’s gonna explain to Taylor that tying a man to your work isn’t an automatic key to success? Rain on me which won is a catchy song but VERY basic in comparison to exile. Though Sc00ter and Gaga’s team did crazy promo.
"wb is joe" - this claim is disputed.
this is gonna be really long. don’t say i didn’t say i didn’t warn ya.
ok, before talking about wb, let’s talk about nils sjöberg because i’ve seen some people claiming that he was registered as swedish and other people asking if this is real. i just think it’s funny how some people keep saying that nils sjöberg was registered as a swede, but no one shows any evidence to prove it.
so let’s take a look of all these things, shall we?
taylor used a swedish name but that doesn’t necessarily mean it was registered with swedish citizenship. btw, the fact that she used a swedish name was really clever if you ask me because it diverted the attention from the songwriter’s identity and if it weren’t for calvin and all that drama, i bet the pseudonym would still be preserved today.
and why it was clever? well, sweden is the third largest music exporter in the world, behind only the usa and the united kingdom. some of the biggest bands we know are from there: abba, roxette, the cardigans. and there are several more current artists in pop and alternative taking their place in the sun, such as robyn, tove lo, lykke li, zara larsson, icona pop, etc. some of the biggest names as producers and composers in pop music are swedish, like max martin, which is the producer with the most #1 hits on billboard for the past 50 years. sweden is also well known for having a lot of edm artists. two of the main streaming platforms are also swedish: spotify and soundcloud. sweden literally shape the pop music. it’s a fact. but that’s beside the point….
so first things first: let’s go back to 2016 and look at the prints about nils sjöberg that have survived time
this is the ASCAP page showing the credits for the composition. however, it doesn’t show the citizenship. because ASCAP, as well as BMI for example (but there are others too), are a Performing Rights Organization (PRO). they collect public performance royalties as stipulated by the U.S. Copyright Act and distributes them. they also ensure that all locations playing music have a license to do so. so, basically they make sure you’re getting paid.
this is what the BMI page looked like right after taylor ditched the pseudonym (7/18/16):
observation: calvin was associated with ascap. taylor was associated with BMI. that’s why we can see it in both sites.
now, let’s see how it looks in 2020 on both sites:
if you look for it in ASCAP, you’ll get this:
and this is the current BMI page:
still no details about citizenship or any other details on either site as these sites are not the copyright database. THIS is the copyright office online database:
as we can see, the catalog only shows the updated version of the record, when she ditched the pseudonym. so, we don’t know how what it was like before, under nils sjöberg.
BUT what we do know is that when you register the copyright of a song, you don’t necessarily need to put along your real name, you can register it as anonymous, a pseudonym or a pen name, but you still need to give your citizenship or your domicile.
for example this is how shellback is registered in black space and in dancing with our hands tied.
registered as a pseudonym (he even gave his real name although he was not obligated to), but his citizenship is from sweden. max martin and oscar holter are also under swedish citizenship, even though they’re not under a pseudonym.
so let’s check on our one and only, william bowery:
as we can see, in public records william bowery is listed as an american citizen. and yes, joe could have dual citizenship etc, but for that he’d have to live in the united states for certain period (at least five years, and not have been absent in this period for more than six months) and it’s widely known and publicized out there that he still lives in london with his parents. and even if they were married (they’re not), it’s necessary that the marriage is already at least three years old and the applicant has not been out of the country for more than six months, in addition to being in the country for at least 18 months.
so if he’s not an american citizen and he’s supposed to be william, the public record should show him registered as a british citizen. that american citizenship doesn’t fit the story at all.
since the release of evermore, i’ve kept an eye on the copyright site to be able to check the new entries on wb there, however the site is apparently outdated and only the betty and exile records appear under “william bowery”. and before you all ask me, there is nothing registered under joe’s name either. there is also no new entry for evermore in taylor’s name, not even jack, justin or aaron. is really outdated. the reason? idk, probably with the pandemic it’s taking longer to update the database -which is totally understandable-, for example, i can’t find some other new realeses too, like wonder by shawn mendes or plastic hearts by miley.
anyway, so i checked BMI and william bowery appears as a songwriter there, but remember that BMI is just an organization that takes care of the royalties, licensing etc, so it doesn’t show details of the authorship. but the credits appear along with betty and exile, which means that it’s the same william from folklore and not another with the same name. and if it’s the same from folklore, it means that his citizenship is the same too: american — as we already saw in the copyright register print up there.
here’s some prints: 1) all songs listed under “william bowery” 2) champagne problems, as an example from evermore 2) exile, as an example from folklore
the only site that mentions joe’s name as a songwriter, is genius. however, just like wikipedia, anyone can edit information on genius. so this claim is literally disputed by official sources.
in conclusion:
nils sjöberg being registered as swedish doesn’t make sense. the pseudonym was just ditched. and last time i checked, taylor was not swedish. then, according to copyright rules, nils would have been registered as an american. it’s mathematics luv.
as far as i know, lying and giving false information on a copyright record (or any other official document) is illegal. therefore, unless you believe that taylor would really commit some kind of felony, the only explanation that exists here is: william is not joe alwyn.
whoever “william bowery” is, is an american.
and why would it be necessary to keep the pseudonym “william bowery” in evermore when supposedly his true identity had already been revealed before evermore was even released? what is so controversial about joe alwyn, a white boy, that he’d need to hide? make it make sense.
@theprologues @iwanthermidnightz i’m tagging you guys because i know you get a lot of asks about this, so i hope this helps in some way :)
hi guys! quickly update.
remember when i said that the records database on the copyright site weren’t updated with evermore? well, in february, i was just doing my thing and i saw that the register for evermore songs was added on the site. after talking to a mutual, i decided to keep it to myself and not update the post at the moment cause i was a bit afraid that if i did, it could end up getting a little out of hand (we never know on the internet) and somehow make taylor and her team change their plans, especially since we were so close to the grammys and wb could play a part there.
so i preferred to wait till the grammys is over then, just in case. after all, the conversations about wb were very low and i didn’t want to draw any attention to that. and maybe also because i wanted to observe how they’d deal with anything wb related.
ok, so let’s check out our genius friend, william bowery. here are some evermore prints from the copyright office online database
as you can see, justin vernon is registered under his pseudonym, bon iver, and that it shows his american citizenship.
also, the songs are still under the wb pseudonym. it’s registered as william bowery, not joe alwyn or joseph alwyn or any other thing like that. and william bowery is still listed as an american citizen.
so let me recap:
why was the pseudonym not ditched if they had already revealed william bowey’s identity and it’s allegedly joe? a pseudonym loses its function when it’s revealed. why would it be necessary to keep the pseudonym “william bowery” in evermore? what is so controversial about joe alwyn, that he’d need to hide?
lying and giving false information on a copyright record (or any other official document) is still illegal. so once again, the only explanation that exists here is: william is not joe alwyn.
whoever “william bowery” is, is still american.
and last but not least: taylor name-dropping “joe” in her grammys speech doesn’t prove anything. on the contrary, it just proves again what wbk for months: he’s only being publicly known as william bowery, but in fact he’s not getting any penny from the royalties of the song, since he’s not the one credited in the copyrights records.
if you guys start asking the right questions, you’ll get the answers.
original anon I received (can’t add video to anon replies):
Tay was so emotional when aaron thanked his wife and kids. She was really about to cry. This pains me so much. Even tho she stunted so often recently and seemed fine drunk bullshitting about WB, it clearly IS painful for her to not be able to thank who she really wants to thank on the podium. To speak about the person who really was there for her thru thick and thin. The person whose love is the wool that braves all the seasons in Taylor’s life.
I had a second thought about the acceptance speech. Maybe she didn’t plan to stunt but got super emotional and really wanted to thank her real partner in life. Maybe she mentioned James Betty Inez because she’s thinking about her own family. Do you see the parallel? Aaron mentioned his wife and three kids, Tay got super emotional, then she mentioned her partner (she said “you”) and three kids, in that order. Her going from purely ecstatic to teary eyes (at Aaron’s speech about his family) was so obvious and it both kills me and warms my heart. 🥺😭
WAIT NO 😭😭😭
I hadn’t noticed, but you’re so right about her reaction. I slowed down the video so you guys can see taylor’s reaction clearly vs the full speech at regular speed.
taylor’s giddy from the moment she walks onto the stage, but you see an instant change in her demeanor when Aaron mentions his wife and kids. She stiffens up and takes in a breath, bites her lips, then gets that thousand yard stare like she’s having a flashback. She’s trying to hold it in. I know this feeling so, so well and I know it for sure when I see it.
She plays up Laura’s mention to distract herself and forces a small smile to snap out of it. There are a few moments where she’s struggling to. Her eyes tell the whole story.
I wonder if Jack could tell, because he gives a few firm squeezes to her shoulder as she’s trying to get it together before she speaks.
I don’t want to be dramatic, but this is legitimately the saddest thing I have ever seen and the saddest I have ever been as a kaylor. I feel shattered seeing her like that. 💔
This fully broke me. I cried.
I need someone to give taylor a huge hug and tell her everything will be okay.
🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
nooooooooo
wow we absolutely loved that!! 🥺 talk about a once in twenty lifetimes GRAMMYs performance ♥️
