The ‘Kiss-gate’ likes:

On 4th December 2014, Taylor and Karlie attended The 1975’s concert at Terminal 5 in New York (accompanied by Lily Aldridge, Martha Hunt, the Haim sisters and, for a short while, Josh Kushner.) This evening, which plausibly was intended to establish a public frame of reference for Taylor’s subsequent relationship with Matt Healy — the groundwork for which was being laid throughout November (see: here , here and here) — became notorious, when video was posted online purporting to show (an obviously inebriated) Taylor kissing Karlie.

Over the course of the same evening a total of 146 posts were liked by Taylor’s tumblr account. Notably, 26 of these concerned her relationship with Karlie, of which 13 were photos and/or gifs of their appearance together at VSFS on 2nd December. They are as follows below:

[NB: ‘likes’ generally related to Karlie are (in the process of being) collected here.]

Taylor and Karlie are the cutest. Can I be the third musketeer?

‘When You’re wearing a cute outfit to school…’

Taylor and Karlie in New York on 12th November 2014

‘Stop it you big flirts’

‘Looking at all the pictures of Taylor and Karlie…’

‘Best friends or twins?’

‘Bae checkin’ out bae’

‘Rip Me. I Died Dead’

‘my life is over. this is the end’

‘my best friend’s best friend is so hot like’

‘before and after joining tumblr’

‘Karlie Kloss, the Taylor whisperer’

‘Look at Karlie’

‘We’ll just walk out together’ (kaylor af)

‘I love you Taylor. I love you kaylor.’

‘Reblog this if you’re naming your kids, Taylor/ Karlie/ Alison/ Olivia/Meredith’

‘kookies from Karlie in my house. made for me. nbd.’

‘Taylor called Karlie her best friend. I’m so dead.’

‘kaylor feels through the roof’

‘i’m so happy i got to walk the runway with you’

‘karlie kloss dancing to shake it off’

‘she’s all over `karlie’s ass’

‘kaylor saving the world from haters’ (ft. a pegacorn)

‘i want taylor to look at me the way she looks at karlie’

‘shows up to your funeral like’

Other posts of interest from the same evening include:

a further 13 posts about VSFS (x//x//x//x//x//x//x//x//x//x//x//x//x)

3 posts about her publicist, Tree (x//x//x)

1 post about her cover of Riptide (x)

1 post about Wonderland (x)

The 102 likes which remain were distributed among fans’ selfies and expressions of devotion to Taylor (and to 1989.)

an important aspect of kissgate that may go unnoticed if you’re learning about it for the first time!

@your-body-is-gold @alwaysss-hereee @hello-planet-juniper

sadly, the account that harbored all the posts linked to in this one became inactive some time ago 🥲.

i did a little googling and it seems that if you check @alltoooooowell ‘s tag “kissgate likes” —you can find a handful of the posts reblogged there ( @alltoooooowell thank you for doing gods work!)

@taylorswiftey please see above!

Klossy “What’s Your Dating Symbol?” 2017

Vogue Best Best Friend Contest 2014

redpaintedgolden

this is crazy

it IS crazy, because its just so obvious! and not obvious in an iykyk kind of way, obvious in an anybody can see it kind of way. it’s an homage!

its also wild to see the parallels between these two clips and the AT&T ad with andy samberg. especially since both the valentine’s day vlog and the AT&T ad were put out in 2017! in february and september respectively.

in effect, you’ve got this seminal kaylor moment from 2014 being referenced in filmed content twice in 2017, by both of them!

to say it another way, by 2017 taylor and karlie weren’t exactly seen together in public anymore, to put it lightly. and yet, karlie re-enacts several parts of the best best friend video for her 2017 Valentine’s Day vlog —a vlog about dating, might i add— and taylor also adds parallels to it in this mid-2017 ad for the rollout for reputation —a high investment comeback album!

taylor references snuggling with olivia, the drawing contest, the staring contest, karlie references beat-for-beat sticking her tongue out and asking if she blinked during the staring contest, the two new videos share a thumb war. both the new videos are comedic. personally, it’s hard to imagine being broken up and being able to make playful references to the height of your relationship with that person. but anyway.

Has anyone done a masterpost of the blurry background home clips from the Lover MV? I know the sparklers with Karlie as well as the guitar KIWYW performance have been identified. I was watching it again today and when the lyric "take me home" comes on, there's an owl/bird in the background and I seem ti recall something with owls related to the Big Sur trip?

i am positive someone did at the time but i can’t remember who and i can’t locate a reblog

anybody have a link to a post?

i was able to recover these

bi rice crispies ↓

big sur falcon pic ↓

it is thought there might be a daisy (maybe not the daisy but a daisy) in this ↓

here’s the sparkler one ↓

and this is just something i pointed out about the union jack symbol that makes an appearance ↓

ah what the heck i’m feeling festive i’ll add this too ↓

i think it was also pointed out that there’s a pic of taylor jumping off a dock, and karlie had recently posted a pic of her similarly jumping off a dock

Context for the falconry one

Please correct me if I’m wrong I believe the story was that there was a random guy who said he and his husband (i think) met Taylor swift at this falconry in Big Sur and said she was with a tall woman he didn’t recognize in response to some fan questions online

She is, and forever will be, associated with the snake. But Taylor Swift has been branching out into other animals on social media.

other people can chime in but i wanted to add this link i found that relates to the falcons

Via twitter @hygtgisgay

karie also mentioned falcons in a klossy video sometime after that when describing an alexander mcqueen fashion show she walked in when she was 15

i also remembered these:

this is a pic from a video that a lot of us theorized was of taylor on the roof with karlie (there was a whole whose knees are these thing) ↓

and this clip a lot of people pointed out at the time for being reminiscent of this seminal photo ↓

I finally found these!

wanted to stop by and say hello and thank you my new followers!! my goodness! i just wanted to mention that this is more of an archive blog for me than an active one. i hope you enjoy your stay all the same! 💌

Hello! Here’s part 2 of my master post of koincidences (part 1 here) from Kaylor that have happened pre and post Midnights release. I’ll post more as we get them, or find out about them!

Karlie released Good Girl Midnight, complete with a Cinderella description a month before Midnights was even announced, let alone anyone knew about the Cinderella themed music video Taylor released on October 25th. Karlie also talked about feeling like being in a Cinderella story and the belle of the ball on September 30th.

“And it changed my life, truly. It sounds very cliche but it was like a Cinderella story, I feel like overnight I felt like the belle of the

Karlie posted this video telling facts about herself on August 29th. The 3rd fact is that she speaks French. The 3rd bonus track on the Midnights 3am edition is titled Paris.

On September 2nd, Karlie said “I’ve been awake since 3am” while wearing an eye necklace, and using Gimme! Gimme! Gimme (A Man After Midnight) as the song, and referencing midnight another time in the caption.

Taylor made a surprise announcement of bonus songs, the night of the album release on October 21st calling them the 3am tracks

Karlie posted a video of herself a Diana revenge dress on October 7th, then we got these lyrics for Vigilante Shit when it was released.

On Thursday October 20th, Karlie posted a seemingly random photo dump on instagram. The 3rd pic was of her fantasy football league for the NFL. Later that evening, Taylor released a Midnights teaser video during the 3rd quarter of the night’s NFL game.

Will have more free time later today so i can start the Kaylor Koincidences for Oct 21 alone...

Lol. I'll probably have one list for Oct 21. - album related stuff, KK's foreshadowing, and each music video? 🤔 and then before i connect them to the main Kaylor Koincidences list part 3

If anyone wants a reminder of HOW MUCH we've been having this year. Here's PART 1 and PART 2

against all odds, the number of recent twinning examples has hit a critical mass of sorts so i thought to document it. i can think of a couple more examples too… please add on and let’s compile! (for peoples convenience i added captions with the qualities of twinning for each)

💐same designer, similar theme, analogous timing (oscar de la renta, florals, birthdays)

🧱 similar background, similar timing (brick wall, days apart)

💃same color, similar theming, same style, similar timing (red, roses, shoulder decoration, month+ apart)

🤵‍♀️same color, same style (black, off the shoulder with v-drop front)

🎥 same designer, same location (david koma, seth meyers (for karlie, the only time she’s been a guest))

👯‍♀️ same designer, same style, similar timing (alaïa, bodysuit, month apart)

Does 2020 count? Because this is just nuts:

8 days apart in May of this year (when does Karlie ever wear overalls??):

This was like a day or two apart just last month:

All in all...

🌼 same theme, similar timing (textured florals, month apart)

👩‍💼 exact same piece of clothing, same timing (dior buttoned bodysuit, paris fashion week and vogue article publication sept 2019)

🕴 same color, same style, same timing (black, scoop neck leotard top, days apart apr 2020)

🧣 similar opportunities, similar colors, similar timing (clothing line announcement, reds and whites, late july / early august 2021)

🦒 same color, same style, somewhat recent (khaki, safari pant, taylor wore sept 2020, karlie may 2021)

🎋 same nails, same colors, similar pieces, similar timing (red nails, red and green, swimwear, mid sept 2021 (karlie’s adidas line was forest green at the time too))

seeing as we had a few lover examples mixed in i thought i’d compile all the lover things here.. i’m going to need multiple reblogs..

❄️ same color, same style, similar timings (ice blue, jacket and suit, January 2019 / taylor’s suit april 2019)

🍑 same color combo, similar timing (ice blue and peach, karlie’s WIX superbowl commercial Feb 2019 and taylor’s TIME magazine cover April 2019)

💜 same color combo, same timing (yellow and lilac, karlie’s klossy video on April 20 2019, ME! music video April 26 2019)

☮️ same article of clothing, same era (stella mccartney rainbow tye die tee, lover era)

🌴 same style, same timing (island print, taylor April 27, 2019, karlie in morocco May 1 2019)

🦓 similar (same?) article of clothing, similar styling, similar timing (zebra stripe leggings, with a pop of yellow, taylor feb 28 2019 Elle UK essay, karlies insta march 19 2019)

💛 same color, same look, same day (yellow, statement dress, feb 28 2019 Elle UK essay, karlie paris fashion week feb 28 2019)

🎀 similar style, same timing (long sleeve midi dress made of strips, taylor BBMAs may 1 2019, karlie in morocco may 2 2019)

🌻 same design, similar recency (yellow flowers over eyes, taylor lover photoshoot, karlie instagram july 2020)

exact same accessory (pink sunglasses, taylor’s rep era harpers bazaar 2018, worn by karlie on her instagram during lover era)

*rep era but while we are on the topic, in the same harpers bazaar taylor also wears the same dress, same sunglasses as karlie in past photoshoots

🍹same item, similar composition, interesting timing (pink curly straw spelling out words, yellow background, karlie the day before going to see taylor at rep tour nashville, YNTCD mv)

🌞 similar color, similar style, same era (yellow floral print, long sleeve mini dress, taylor in paris promoting lover, karlie at carolina herrera event in shanghai sept 4, 2019)

👼 similar color, similar adornment (gold metallic, wings on shoulders and back (karlie from vsfs 2013 and taylor at 2020 AMAs)

the above example i kind of think of less as twinning and more as homages to karlie in taylor’s work, and if i expand to that category well then i’ve got another string of examples. and i can think of a handful more lover era standard twinning examples…

but my brain needs a break 🙈 are there any big ones i’m missing?

2017 - Karlie, In Style Magazine

2019 - Taylor, MTV aperformance

oh yes thank you this was a popular one

and how could we forget

🌵 same color, same theme, similar timing (orange, cacti, YNTCD music video June 2019, Vogue España Dec 2019)

🍊 same color theme (orange theme, taylor’s you need to calm down music video released June 2019 / karlie’s orange adidas line released Dec 2020)

🧘‍♂️same color, same brand, same timing (orange, adidas karlie’s orange adidas line released Dec 1 2020 / match.com ad (by ryan reynolds) that used Love Story (Taylor’s Version) released Dec 2 2020)

※people also note that the colors of adidas pants in the match.com match the colors of the jump suit in the YNTCD video. while it does tie the whole arc together in a way, from a third party perspective it just reads as two taylor affiliated projects matching.

2011 - Karlie, VSFS

2019 - Taylor, iHeartRadio Awards

💚 similar colors and styling, similar timing (green turtleneck and black blazer, taylor on SNL Oct 2019, karlie for stockx Nov 2019)

bringing back a staple... and excerpt of Karlie being interviewed in 2013 for the cannes film festival in may of that year. ..☺️

#so much all in one place and organized super well!

(this is the “i haven’t found my prince charming yet” interview)

spade-riddles

Submission:

Hi Spade! I admit I had my doubts whether the girls are still together or not, but Taylor confirmed it for me (that they’re still going strong) with the IBYTAM music video. So I thought now is a good time to share this presentation I did a while ago - it’s about all the KK connections in Taylor’s music.

THOROUGH MASTERPIECE!!

okay so we have been talking about how misty goes over to taylor during certain parts of the song but i was just watching a recording online where they distort the sound to avoid copyright conflict and so i was watching the performance purely visually and not trying to think about the connection to the lyrics and it’s quite literally that

the ballerina keeps trying to run to taylor in between stunts

but she always has to go back to the man so they can perform another maneuver..

her performance with the man keeps pulling her away 😣
