👼 VSFS Angel Wing Ring Masterpost 👼

ah yes 😌 the ring brought before us unto heaven. so much can be and has been said about it, that i thought it my duty to compile it in one place. here we go…

origins

taylor started wearing the angel wing ring in 2017, though it was likely gifted in november 2016. we say november 2016 because that’s the time when various victoria’s secret Angels posted to instagram about receiving them (only contracted Angels received them, not just any models working for vsfs). its worth noting that from a swiftie canon perspective, taylor was gifted this ring from victoria’s secret management for her appearance in multiple shows.

yup! here are two examples. here’s taylor wearing it before and more recently where she wore it at a party and everyone thought it was a rin

why it’s a Kaylor symbol

well there are a variety of ways to explain things away if you want to, i’m sure, but if you’ve been around these parts since rep era you will know that this ring has been a definitive kaylor bat signal—something talked about a ton! and taylor surely knows that. but this aside, we mainly associate it with kaylor because of how iconic taylor’s two vsfs appearances were, both of which were with karlie. to be clear, the association does not hinge on an assumption that karlie herself gave the ring, rather that it represents taylor’s time with the show, that was spent with karlie.

separate from this, and arguably the biggest point, is that she wears the ring in the clip where she is strumming Call It What You Want to a certain unseen somebody (who we have speculated and offered reason as to why it is karlie) holding the camera. that aside, that song is so clearly a play on sounds and words that sound like karlie. (karlie what you want, call it what you want, karlie).

yes

another more visual reason why one might associate this jewelry with karlie in particular is that she was the face of Victoria’s Secret Heavenly fragrance, a bottle that came with similar adornments and accessories.

nothing new just a reminder

but now to the meat and potatoes of the matter..

here are all the times taylor has been seen wearing the vsfs angel wing ring:

👼 getting papped walking out of stella mccartney’s studio with the folklore jacket (December 4th, 2019 (kissgate anniversary)

👼 NMPA songwriter icon award speech (June 9th, 2021)

👼 her 32nd birthday party in tribeca (December 13th, 2021)

why is this established timeline significant?

so for me, to see that this ring has been quite consistently worn since rep era, so far all the way up to the very end of 2021, *and*, often on special occasions at that, gives me a certain peace of mind. if one is to believe that a ring from an event where taylor was both introduced to karlie and one where she walked down a runway hand in hand on stage on prime-time tv together with her, is something associable with karlie, then the following would seem puzzling:

how could taylor be wearing this ring on days or during times where the memory of karlie might be upsetting to her. footage of the recording of rep era songs, footage for rep era promo, an official music video right before tour, to an event she went with with her beau after rep era ended, footage at the start of lover era played during a livestream even where she had to give a talk—footage taped not too far after her masters were bought by scooter, during an award acceptance speech in mid 2021, to her own birthday party just this past year, etc etc… why wear a ring that is obviously symbolic of a time with someone that would now be triggering, to places and occasions where you need to keep your shit together?

times being as they are, i will limit conveying the scope of what i feel, but i find it worth saying that for me? all these crafted narratives and stories over the years asserting that karlie has been an upsetting presence in taylor’s life? the whole cornucopia of them? well they can all take a hike!
