Taylor told us the release date for The Life of a Showgirl by recreating one of the covers of "The Ladder" which was a lesbian magazine that originally was published on October 3rd.
The video features the theme colors for TS12 and the camera pans to the seating area "A12" for Album 12. This was her latest Tiktok up until posting about The Life of a Showgirl announcement.
This isn't the first time she has recreated a cover of The Ladder because she also used the original cover as inspo for her set for Lavender Haze during Eras Tour
Lavender has long been associated with queer history hence the term "lavender marriage" which means the same as bearding. This is important because in the Lavender Haze MV Taylor is seen stroking her lover's beard as she looks into the camera singing about how all her fans want is for her to get married and how she has no interest in that "1950s shit".
The Ladder was published in 1956 (Oct 3rd)
But there is one overall thing between all of this that connects back to her Tiktok where she recreated The Ladder cover, and that is the date she posted it.
Taylor uploaded the video on October 18th which is..... National No Beard Day. As in she chose to use a lesbian magazine to tease her upcoming album themed around showmanship on national no beard day.
If somehow you still think this is one big coincidence then just yesterday Taylor's only feature on TS12 aka Sabrina Carpenter posted THIS. And I cannot stress this enough-
SHE IS "SHAVING HER BEARD" AND WEARING LAVENDER.
Awhile back Taylor publicly chose these as her lottery numbers, and they clearly spell out the date 10/18/2025.
How do we know it meant anything? For one just look at the time for the drawing, 8:30, as in 8/3 Karlie's birthday which she uses all the time (For example: Exile made a single 8/3). But even if you are one of those that does not believe in 8/3 having to do with Karlie then that's fine because there is something that links 10/18 to Karlie that is entirely undeniable.........
10/18 is Karlie's wedding anniversary. Yes, she did in fact purposefully get "married" on National No Beard Day.
Taylor submitted the lottery numbers 10 18 20 25 in January of 2019 not even 3 months after Karlie's wedding on 10/18/2018.
On 10/18/22 before Midnights released, Taylor teased these lyrics to "Question...?" which is rumoured to be about Kissgate, when Taylor and Karlie got caught kissing at the 1975 concert
Then on 10/18/24 Taylor debuted the golden Reputation suit in Miami Florida where... Karlie lives. Travis himself went to Karlie's house in Florida in 2022 and they knew each other long before Taylor. Just google "Karlie Kloss Travis Kelce" for yourself.
Finally, on 10/18/23 Taylor took to Instagram to thank the fans for supporting the Eras Tour Film and in her caption she included, and I quote, "creating inside jokes, casting spells, getting engaged"
None of it was accidental.
