The Swiftgron Timeline Remastered

Hey Guys! It’s Cam from @whatiwillsay

It’s high time the Swiftgron Masterpost was updated with more content and a cross reference of the Achele timeline and other newly learned information.

Now if you’re just looking to prove that Swiftgron is real to your friends click here for a more succinct summation of proof. But if you want to read the sad, beautiful, tragic (no that’s not a Swiftgron song) story of Swiftgron, to go through the ups and downs, from the Hunger Games to SNL this is the place for you!

I was inspired to do this partially by this conversation. TL;DR is there was some lively discourse in the fandom about who the breakup songs on Red are about.

Personally, it doesn’t make sense to me for them to be about Dianna when the falling in love songs are obviously about her (mentions of green eyes, her name in the 22 liner notes, ect.) For one quick example: the songs The Last Time and Come Back...Be Here were written and recorded right around the same time.

I’m sorry but I just cannot fathom those two songs being about the same person. One is about the softest start to a relationship you’ve ever imagined - pining away and missing someone you barely know but are already infatuated with and the other is a gut wrenching heartbreak song about someone you’ve been on and off with for a long time.

Furthermore the Swiftgron masterpost and timeline was laid out by either Kaylors or general Gaylors, but no one who seems to have an in depth knowledge of Achele or even of Taylor’s relationships before Dianna, other than Emily which by all accounts ended in 2008.

So I wanted to fill in all the blanks left open on the original Swiftgron masterpost to see if it’s possible that it missed anything.

Plenty of this data will still come from the original Swiftgron masterpost and shoutout to them for building such an amazing document! It’s a great primer but it does gloss over a lot of events such as the Glee tour in the summer of 2011, the circumstances around all the early Swiftgron meetings, and the obvious Achele interactions through early winter 2012, and of course it’s missing all the weird late stage Swiftgron social media shenanigans.

I wanted to make this masterpost to be able to stand alone so I ripped some gif sets and other info (mostly on Achele) that I didn’t personally build because I don’t ever want anyone running into dead links. If you see an edit or content you made that I haven’t credited please let me know and I will credit you or remove it if you really want me to.

The other reason I made this was I wanted to have one succinct and chronological place to store every single Swiftgron photo, video, or media of any other type. If it’s Swiftgron related I will find it and add it here. If I missed something you can let me know by reaching out to me on my usual blog @swiftgron-get-married.

For those of you that are new to Gaylor here’s a few notes:

1. If Taylor seems fruity to you it’s cause she does to everyone else. Welcome.

2. Swiftgron is the pairing of Taylor Swift and Dianna Agron.

3. Achele is the pairing of Dianna Agron and Lea Michele. It happened before Swiftgron (I think summer 2009 - Early 2012). Achele was real 100%. Go to Achele References on Tumblr for more info but just know I have reason to believe Achele actually dated beyond public information. Take that with a grain of salt of course and look at the evidence for yourself.

4. At some points in this document I reference a forum called The L Chat - that place is a wasteland of biphobia, transphobia, and other gross things but they did closely track Swiftgron and Achele. I don’t recommend going there as it can be very triggering to some. I have gone and pulled out relevant data so you don’t have to go there.

5. There is a notion in the Gaylor fandom that Dianna was toxic, a serial cheater, and I’ve even heard the word “abusive” thrown around due to the fact that the breakup songs on Red do seem to be about a toxic relationship - Taylor has said as much.

Given what I’ve heard about DIanna from people who have actually had contact with her - this would be incredibly out of character. She does have the reputation of being a bit of a player but is literally famous for how kind, giving, compassionate, and amiable she is to fans, coworkers, and friends alike.

I believe that this document proves that due to events on the timeline that although Swiftgron definitely had their ups and downs (Babe definitely suggests at least one instance of a lack of faithfulness, and I’ve clocked at least two obvious breakups before Taylor commits to Karlie and the Swiftgron romance is over for good) however the idea that it was a completely toxic mess is just not supported by actual public data, gathered evidence, and Taylor’s own music and words.

With that enjoy! The pandemic has done some weird things to people hasn’t it? This what I did instead of going outdoors. (I streamed Folklore six billion times while building this, honestly it was a blast!)

GRYLES!!!

Rebuilding the Gryles Timeline expertly crafted here because I’m always afraid of broken links and people going private and losing data.

Not only is there a ton of great evidence that these guys were dating such as Harry leaving Nick’s place in the morning wearing the same clothes as he’d worn the night before, I’ve also got a friend who works in the UK music industry and she did tell me these guys did date. Nick is 100% out as gay so it really does all add up.

Gryles very obviously takes place during Haylor, debunking Harry as the 1989 muse, and if it’s not Harry you do have to wonder... who with green eyes and an obsession with Alice and Wonderland was heavily featured in Taylor’s life and then disappeared before 1989 - a breakup album about someone with green eyes who seems to relate to Alice in Wonderland drops?

You get it.

Anyway here’s Gryles:

Late Stage Swiftgron Part 2 (things get loud with babe):

April 18, 2018 - Dianna posts to Instagram about “commitment issues”:

April 20, 2018 - Babe (a song that Taylor wrote in the Red era) about a lover with shall we say “commitment issues”.

Later when the Babe music video is released people (even non Gaylors) notice that it is nearly a shot for shot remake of the I’m Not The Only One music video that Dianna starred in back in 2014.

What’s more psychotic is that the song Babe itself is only three minutes and 35 seconds long:

But the music video has had a full minute and 4 seconds to it to make it the exact same length as the I’m Not The Only One music video. I do think that this is pretty hard evidence that Dianna did step out on Taylor at some point back in 2012. I do not think, however, that it was the chronic issue that the fandom seems to think it was. This is the only song that appears to be about Dianna that accuses her of cheating. The breakup songs on 1989 do not insinuate that the relationship ended due to cheating. In fact, in Style Taylor says “I’ve been there too a few times” when it comes to being with other people.

I actually theorize that the track was not released on Red because Taylor wrote it while upset and hurt, and then they reconciled and worked it out. I think Taylor didn’t release it at the time because she forgave Dianna for the indiscretion and they moved on from it as a couple. I think in her heart of hearts at the time Taylor did not want to put Dianna “on blast” that way.

I think down the road in 2018 they’re obviously long broken up, and have long moved on from the slights of old and Taylor let Dianna know she was going to release the song. Dianna’s “commitment issues” post makes it seem as if it’s a bit of an inside joke between them and Dianna is poking fun at herself and the old and forgiven incident. At least that’s how the situation reads to me.

Taylor posts a cute video talking about the song with a cheeky smile and a heart to ig:

Another theory I’ve been mulling over is the possibility that Dianna and Taylor hooked up some time in 2018 prompting Taylor to paint herself as the other woman (as Dianna would be cheating on Winston making Taylor the other woman) in the mv. There’s no hard evidence for it but it’s possible...

June 6, 2018 - Dianna posts a now deleted selfie and rant about how amazing KIlling Eve is (this post was deleted late summer/early fall 2020 for no apparent reason):

It’s probably a coincidence but her shirt reads, “SANS SOLEIL” which means, “without sun” in French. Karlie is known as “sunshine” in the Gaylor Swift Cinematic Universe.

June 9, 2018 - The aforementioned Babe music video is released

Let me show you just how similar this music video is to I’m Not the Only One:

first, you should know that YES taylor came up with the concept for the music video:

the second thing you should know is that the babe track is 3 minutes and 35 seconds long but the babe music video is 4 minutes and 39 seconds long:

you know what else is EXACTLY 4 minutes and 39 seconds long?

that’s right…the music video that she’s basically copying in the babe mv that starred dianna way back in 2014

opening shot:

kiss goodbye (at almost the same timestamp):

similar shots at the same timestamp:

and again:

and again (these are also basically the stills used for the mv before you click play):

both women driving at the same fucking timestamp (y’all taylor swift is insane holy shit):

in the store shopping at the same fucking timestamp no she is literally unwell someone get her into a facility now:

cheating happens at the same timestamp (seriously tay get help✌️):

here’s another similar shot of my babies at the same timestamp;

cheating husband coming home, same timestamp:

very similar shot of the husbands walking up to the door at the same fucking timestamp (i get it taylor you’re laughing at us from the prison cell now):

similarities that happen at different timestamps

wifey drinking out by the pool:

wifey fiddling with ring:

cheaters drinking it up together:

wifies drinking it up as well (several times both in the mv):

wives do away with the husband’s clothes (Dianna burns them while jennifer dumps them outside in the front lawn):

Pretty much the only thing that’s different about the music videos is the ending. the babe cheater gets dumped while dianna takes her cheater back but ofc we know how taylor likes to change the endings (like she did with love story) or at least to try to change the ending (peter losing wendy).

July 13, 2018 - Taylor visits home and posts to IG with the lyric from style “Take me home” as the caption:

Taylors on the Rep tour and we get this series of surprise songs I consider to be Dianna songs:

“Ours” - Foxborough, MA July 28th

“Out of The Woods” - Toronto, Canada August 3rd (Karlie’s birthday)

“Come Back… Be Here”- Toronto, Canada August 4th (august 4th 2014 Taylor wears one of the Style mv outfits)

“This Love” - Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 10

These shows are all in succession I think it could be a coincidence or perhaps Taylor’s reaction to Karlie’s engagement announced on July 24, 2018...

August 25, 2018 - Karlie shows up to rep tour in Nashville and Taylor plays Better Man 💀

August 31, 2018 - secret song is Swiftgron “Begin Again”

February 24, 2019 - Swiftgron reunion? at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party both Dianna and Taylor are there and they both post to Instagram about it(Dianna posts two days later):

She also comments to a friend that they stayed out until 3AM.

Taylor’s post:

March 7, 2019 - Dianna sees Fleabag at SoHo House:

April 9, 2019 - Dianna posts with a caption about being 13 years old, unrequited love, and 143 in reference to the show Pen15:

June 14, 2019 - Taylor adds “Woman” by Mumford and Sons to her ME! playlist - the song is rumored to be about Dianna written by her (now ex) husband Winston Marshall:

September 7, 2019 - Taylor is noted to be at a Fleabag performance in London at the at Wyndham Theater.

September 23, 2019 - Dianna posts about Phoebe Waller Bridge (who wrote Fleabag, and EPs Killing Eve among other things):

October 5, 2019 - SNL!!!!! - Taylor is the musical guest on SNL while Phoebe Waller Bridge hosts and DIANNA IS IN ATTENDANCE with a VIP guest pass (can only be granted by a cast member, host, or musical guest) and also noted to be “in Swift’s inner circle” at the afterparty:

Taylor performs Lover:

And with huge lesbian energy she also performs False God:

(if it weren’t for DIanna showing up at SNL I probably wouldn’t have even gotten interested in Swiftgron so you have this holy night to thank for my blog @swiftgron-get-married as well as this timeline!)

A blog contributor reached out to someone (non-biased, I know some Kaylors reported that DIanna was there for PWB but that isn’t what this person said) who was at the performance on Twitter and this is what they had to say about the night:

“Dianna was definitely paying attention”

Other fan reports state that Dianna made a face when Taylor sang “magnetic force of a man”:

December 13, 2019 (Taylor’s 30th Birthday) - Dianna adds the song Got It Bad (which is an incredibly sensual song) to a Playlist entitled T 2017 on her private spotify account Some time in late 2019/early 2020 - Ashley (re)follows Dianna on Instagram February 2020 - Dianna and Taylor are both in London at the same time

Late Stage Swiftgron Part 3 (Folklore Shenanigans)

July 23, 2020

Taylor announces folklore around 8 A.M. eastern time

That afternoon Dianna uploads a new playlist to her public Spotify entitled I’ll Be Around with one song on it - I’ll Be Around by Floor Cry:

Dianna also streams the song I Love You so by The Walters. This song contains a very loud lyric that makes me believe ‘the 1′ is about Dianna:

July 25, 2020

In the afternoon Dianna turns off her Spotify listening activity (so it isn’t viewable to the public) for the rest of the day and into the next day.

Then Dianna’s soon to be ex husband, Winston, posts a strange picture of his bandmate playing monopoly and includes the lyrics to Cardigan:

July 30, 2020

My main blog @swiftgron-get-married gets an anon reminding the readers how Dianna used to listen to Pale Blue Eyes by the Velvet Underground around the time Swiftgron was going through a rough patch in 2013 August 4, 2020 - Dianna streams Pale Blue Eyes on her public Spotify August 5, 2020 - Taylor no-homos the song Betty on country radio and Dianna streams Pale Blue Eyes again August 15, 2020 - Both Taylor and Dianna post to social media about supporting the Post Office within an hour of one another August 18, 2020 - Taylor releases The Lakes, a song about waiting for her muse to come with her August 19, 2020 - Dianna’s divorce to Winston Marshall is made public August 20, 2020 - Taylor releases the Escapism Chapter of Folklore

August 21, 2020 - Dianna’s Wikipedia page is edited to include Swiftgron rumors:

It appears as though a user going by the name Kingsif makes these edits:

August 29, 2020 - Dianna’s involvement in a play or film adaptation of A Tale of Two Cities is announced on Instagram. The quote referenced is, “It was the best of times it was the worst of times” :

THE The OSSA Youtube Channel sends Swiftgron further into the mainstream by saying that Taylor was a rumored ex of Dianna’s:

As of December 22, 2020 this video has nearly 180,000 views:

August 30, 2020 - Dianna’s old boss Ryan Murphy makes Taylor the 13th person he follows on Instagram

September 2, 2020 - Dianna adds two playlists to Spotify with some songs that have some very interesting lyrics:

September 8, 2020 - Dianna posts a cute picture to Instagram and her friend (rumored girlfriend/rumored ex girlfriend) Molly Howard comments that she looks cute. Dianna comments back that she’s leaning into cottagecore (which of course is the aesthetic people have loudly assigned to Folklore):

Late Stage Swiftgron Part 4 (forevermore!)

September 22, 2020

Taylor posts voting resources from vote.org and Dianna starts following vote.org on IG the same day:

Taylor posts to her stories about voting as well and about an hour later Dianna posts reminders to vote.

September 22, 2020 continued, Taylor’s write up about Phoboe Waller-Bridge goes live:

This is referencing the same picture Dianna posted (and later deleted):

October 2020

Pictures and Videos from Dianna’s Colorado ranch trip are posted to IG throughout the month which feature her cottagcoring out, riding horses, and practicing a lasso (possibly inspiring Cowboy Like Me)

October 22, 2020

Taylornation tweets and ties Betty to the song 22:

October 26, 2020

Cardigangate 2020, Dianna positively snaps and streams cardigan publicly on spotify just one day before 1989′s sixth anniversary:

Prompting me to have a mental breakdown and claim cardigan for Swiftgron nation.

November 13, 2020

Dianna follows Harry Styles on IG giving everyone 1989 tingles:

November 24, 2020

Dianna posts to IG with the geotag Big Sur (before deleting and reposting without the geotag):

The caption is “moondance”

November 27, 2020

13 days before Taylor annonces evermore, which includes a collab with HAIM, Dianna streams a song by HAIM:

November 30, 2020

Dianna posts a picture from an Elvis movie to her story:

December 10, 2020

Taylor announces evermore to be released at midnight that includes songs referencing Elvis and cowboys among other things.

Dianna streams the song “music sounds better with you”

December 11, 2020

evermore comes out

December 12, 2020

Like the rest of us Dianna has a lot to contemplate:

December 18, 2020

The deluxe version of evermore is released with Target and the songs leak online. Dianna appropriately streams to “new song”:

December 20, 2020

The End (until it’s not)

And with that we have the end of the current Swiftgron Timeline!

The late stage stuff is a bit more for fun and just to enjoy the coincidences surrounding the girls. I don’t read into it too much though some of it seems to suggest that they’re still in touch.

My final conclusions are:

1. The breakup songs on Red are not about Dianna! She was with Lea until early 2012 and Taylor was writing about a muse that came before that- in my opinion it’s Jake Gyllenhaal but if you want it to be a woman it could have been Liz Huett. There’s no universe where Taylor is writing The Last Time and Come Back… Be Here at the same time about the same person.

2. Swiftgron was not as dramatic or toxic as the fandom originally thought! They seem to break up once in late summer of 2012 with a reconciliation in October 2012 due to Conor and possibly having to go long distance when Dianna goes to film the Family in France. And then once in April 2013 due to being outed. They appear to attempt a reconciliation in fall 2013 with pining remaining a few months after that.

3. Swiftgron appears to be in touch and friendly! Dianna showing up at SNL “in Swift’s inner circle” and teasing previews of Taylor’s music and occasional references to her on social media, along with having shared interests points to the idea that they’re at the very least cordial if not friendly!

This blog will remain open and be updated with new connections if they appear.

Late Stage Swiftgron Part 1

Update from November 2021 - I really don’t believe much of this is meaningful at all. I don’t think they’re sitting around referencing one another on social media or anything but some of Dianna’s interactions with Karlie are interesting Dianna shows up explicitly in Taylor’s life a couple more times so I’m leaving these sections here.;

From here on out everything but the 2014 AMAs and Dianna’s somewhat shocking appearance at Taylor’s 2019 SNL performance are just odd social media shenanigans (or subtweets) between the two, and Taylor appearing to release at least one more song about Dianna (Babe in 2018) (and let’s be honest you can make a strong argument for The 1 being about Dianna as well other post 1989 songs.)

Some of this might be complete crack or coincidence but as you all know I want this to be the most thorough Swiftgron document possible.

If anything it proves they both certainly still have similar interests and they really do seem to be in touch.

There are some interactions claimed by others to be Swiftgron related that I’m not going to include because they’re just a bit too reachy for me (though I completely support the theorizing!) but in general, if I personally can see the hint of a Swiftgron connection, I’m going to include it here. Draw your own conclusions and take everything, particularly the alleged subtweets/social media shenanigans, with a grain of salt.

And yes there’s tons of Kaylor and other Gaylor/Gaygron content that will be left out of this segment because this masterpost is focused on Swiftgron. Someday it would be cool to make a giant masterpost/timeline that documents all of it, but for now it’s just going to be Swiftgron stuff. August 26, 2014 - Dianna tweets, and then deletes “Withdrawals, clearly…we had fun.”

There’s no screen shot of this tweet but some retweets/responses of it remain:

If Dianna is indeed referencing the song Clean (in which their relationship is compared to an addiction hence, “withdrawals” from it) then Taylor would have had to give her advanced knowledge of the song since 1989 did not come out until October 2014.

Taylor did claim she ran 1989 by the muse that inspired it and they were both in LA in late August 2014. Maybe this is when.

November 1, 2014 - Taylor posts about Clean

November 19, 2014 - The 2014 AMAs Kaylorgron Explosion Extravaganza:

Taylor, Karlie, and Dianna are at the event. Taylor and Karlie are clearly on a date and Dianna is there to present Sam Smith’s performance of I’m not the only one. Dianna seems a bit out of her element/gloomy when interviewed on the red carpet and Taylor flexes Karlie hard, dancing with her throughout the night and even sitting on her lap during an interview.

Click here for photos, video, gifs, and a live L chat reaction to the night.

December 28, 2014 - The writer for the tv show The Originals, Carina Mackenzie, tweeted that 1989 was about Dianna:

It’s of course notable that someone in the industry is “confirming” Swiftgron on main (particularly before gaylor went mainstream with Kaylor being so obvious in 2015/2016) however what’s even more interesting and notable about this tweet is that an actor named Michael Trevino was on the show The Originals and he dated Jenna Ushkowitz from 2011-2014.

Not only that but Michael was at Dianna’s 26th birthday when Taylor was in attendance as well.

It’s possible that Michael witnessed Swiftgron in real life and spilled a bit to the writer of the TV show he was on.

January 5, 2015 - Taylor likes a Swiftgron related post on Tumblr of Dianna saying she’d go on the road with Taylor and carry her bags at the Giffoni Film Festival in 2012:

February 9, 2015 - Style is released as a single

February 13, 2015 - The Kaylor “Best Friends” on a road trip Vogue Spread comes out. You’re probably familiar with it but if you aren’t google it. It’s incredibly romantic and pda filled.

The Style music video is released on this day as well.

We don’t have to go through the whole video but one egg I just have to note is the cave pictured in the MV is in Morocco the same country Dianna seemed to flee to after Swiftgron was outed:

February 14, 2015 - Dianna tweets 143 remember those days (for some reason it has not been deleted) seemingly in response to the Kaylor vogue shoot:

143 is a code that means “I love you” that originated from Mister Rogers. Both Taylor and Dianna have publicly shown that they are fans of his. Taylor has even made certain songs 3 minutes and 41 seconds long seemingly referring to this number and wore a Mister Rogers pin on a jacket for a photoshoot once.

Here’s a bit more in depth analysis on the significance of the 143 post.

This tweet is how we know that it is 100% in Dianna’s character to occasionally subtweet Taylor and why a lot of this social media analysis has been done.

February 16, 2015 - Just two days later Dianna attends a fashion show in which Karlie walks and is noted to “have kept a smirk on her face” during. Dianna doesn’t clap at the end of the show and looks miserable in photos of the event:

February 17, 2015 - Taylor releases Wonderland

I’m going to pause here and discuss the song Wonderland for a brief moment because it is some of the most incredibly airtight evidence for Swiftgron available.

Dianna’s favorite book of all time is Alice in Wonderland. She brought it up in interviews all the time, tweeted about it, auctioned off a signed copy of it for charity, her private Tumblr and instagram account are called whosirmesir which is a reference to it, her private Tumblr is filled with reblogs about Alice, and her public Tumblr was called fell down the rabbit hole.

So the fact that Taylor writes an entire song describing a relationship through the lens of and packing full of references to Alice in Wonderland is incredibly interesting.

Let’s take a look at some of these lyrics:

Flashing lights and we, took a wrong turn and we Fell down the rabbit hole (literally Dianna’s tumblr name and url)

Didn't you flash your green eyes at me (Dianna is famous for her beautiful almost hypnotic green eyes and yes they are green)

Haven't you heard what becomes of curious minds (queer coded)

Too in love to think straight (queer coded)

But there were strangers watching And whispers turned to talking And talking turned to screams (seems to reference when they were outed) You searched the world for something else (Dianna very publicly went travelling around the world right after April 2013 when they seem to break up)

Taylor literally put Dianna’s Tumblr URL in the song. Frankly I’m kind of shocked she released this song at all it is so obviously and clearly about Dianna. Truly a Swiftgron anthem!

Back to the timeline...

March 8, 2015 - Taylor posts Flamingos for her dad’s birthday:

The caption was “Happy Birthday, Dad. Thanks for all the unconditional love, sarcastic comments, and interesting Christmas presents.”

May 1, 2015 - Dianna posts a flamingo for her birthday (post is now deleted):

The caption was “This is 29. Spoiled rotten. Funny enough, at work they were painting the hallways white and the roses (hallway doors) red, then I actually went to Wonderland (@AliceUnderLdn) and came home to a surprise flamingo. Here we go. Another year around the sun…feeling lucky and loved and loved and lucky.”

Taylor also gave Emily, another rumored ex, a flamingo bandana for her birthday. i also think it’s odd that Dianna mentions Wonderland specifically in the post.

January 15, 2016 - Dianna’s engagement to Winston is announced and Kaylors notice Taylor is liking sad posts on Tumblr including several posts related to Clean:

November 7, 2016 - Lorde’s birthday party where Kaylor is together in public for the last time for 20 months.

January 5, 2017 - Claire (who is still very close with Taylor) comments on one of Dianna’s Instagram posts):

March 2, 2017 - Dianna posts her James Dean inStyle UK photo to Instagram:

This is actually the second time she has posted this as a throwback photo. She also posted it on February 4, 2016 with simply the caption “TBT” and did not include the “rebel without a clue” bit which is a reference to James Dean (Rebel Without a Cause). She’s never posted the same TBT photo twice before or after this (as of the writing of this post in October 2020).

It I may be permitted to go real far out on a limb here it’s almost as if she wanted people to connect that photo of her in the UK InStyle magazine to James Dean. James Dean is of course the way Taylor describes her lover in the song Style.

At any rate it’s very odd that it’s the only photo she’s posted twice whether it’s related to Taylor or not.

April 25, 2017 - Fans notice Dianna is having her script tattoo removed:

This is significant because a part of the tattoo was dedicated to Alice in Wonderland - it said “We’re all mad here”

Tattoo removal is a years long process:

So it’s possible she started getting it removed around the time that Wonderland came out.

It’s also possible part of the tattoo was dedicated to Lea (the part that said “here I am”) so this whole removal situation is very interesting.

In 2019 she was still getting it removed and commented this at a Cafe Carlyle session:

"i was like i don't know i wanna explain all my tattoos or the one that i'm getting removed on my side...you know you're like...WHATEVER we're stopping we're moving on"

February 13, 2018 - Dianna attends the Carolina Herrera fashion show, so does Karlie. Dianna is introduced to Karlie by Derek Blasberg and very audibly calls Karlie “gorgeoouusss” as they meet.

Kayda play “Gorgeous” by Taylor Swift.

Winter 2014 - Clean?

Karlie and Taylor have met by now and are quickly getting close. Karlie appears to be spending quality time with Taylor through December 2013 and beyond. There are reports that Karlie may have been at Andrea’s birthday party (early January.)

However according to the Lover Diaries Taylor is still feeling frustrated about love:

January 6, 2014

She ends out this journal entry by saying “They say if you love something let it go and if it comes back blah blah blah....So I’m leaving the day after tomorrow. Dating is awful. Love is fiction/a myth. I’m over it all.”

That line about letting something go actually sounds a lot like This Love lyrics:

This love is good, this love is bad This love is alive back from the dead These hands had to let it go free And this love came back to me

This Love seems to be about her and Dianna’s fall 2012 reconciliation and is now referenced again a year and a half later. That’s what makes me think she’s referencing Dianna in this journal entry.

She also mentions deciding to move to New York. She had been seen searching for property in London in November 2013. Karlie claims in an interview later on that she’s the one who convinced Taylor to move to New York.

Some time early winter 2014 - Taylor stops by the Glee set

Kevin tells the story on a 2020 episode of Showmance about Taylor visiting the Glee set “just to see who was there.” We can’t be sure of the exact date but given the episode they’re reviewing we know it’s January or February of 2014.

The people Taylor were closest to on the Glee cast were of course Dianna obviously and Cory but Cory had passed away by this point.

This anecdote from Kevin and the Jan 6 Lover Diary entry make it clear there is a bit of residual Swiftgron pining and I think one last fling around this time in early 2014 becomes the inspiration for the song Style.

February 2014 - Dianna appears in UK InStyle done up like James Dean with her hair slicked back:

February 8, 2014 - Taylor writes Clean while in London - a song about finally being done with a relationship that’s officially been over for 10 months. She’s finally clean of Dianna right?

The “months and months of back and forth” referenced in Clean I believe points to the time around September when they appear to attempt to reconcile and then Dianna’s increasingly frustrated Instagram posts that appear exactly when Taylor meets Karlie.

(Later on in an interview Karlie claims Clean is her favorite track on 1989)

February 14, 2014 - Dianna posts to IG a clip of her dog being funny and ignoring her and she says “Freddie doesn’t care. Not at all. February 14, 2014.”

February 19, 2014 - Sike she’s not Clean yet - Taylor writes Style - a song about a relationship that never goes out of style and about hooking up with an ex where you’ve both tried to move on, been with other people even, but are still drawn back to one another

It’s thought that Taylor may have seen Dianna in the UK copy of InStyle dressed up like James Dean and been inspired to write the song.

Check out all-my-possessions’ post diving more into Style and Clean!

In interviews about this song Taylor says a lot of interesting thing. First of all she says “there’s not always a case of who was right and who was wrong.” when she speaks about the relationship that inspired this song - it’s more complicated than that:

She also describes the person who inspired this song as “that one person who you feel like might interrupt your wedding and be like ‘don’t do it, cause we’re not over yet’ I think everybody as that one person who kind of floats in and out of their life and the narrative is never truly over.”

Taylor describing the relationship that inspired this song as intense but essentially something she’ll look back on without any malice and the phrase “that one person” is one of the key pieces of evidence that made me think that the break up songs on Red (which were described by Taylor as about a toxic relationship) could not be about Dianna. Also the lyric in Clean - “just because you’re clean don’t mean you don’t miss it” tells me that however tough it got with Dianna she still misses her and thinks fondly of her.

Back to the timeline...

Early March (March 6th?) - Taylor and Karlie go to Big Sur and I believe this is the official start to their relationship (due to the love locked down instagram post) - Swiftgron is essentially over.

Spring/Summer/Fall 2013 - The End(?)

Click here for an appropriately sad Swiftgron breakup playlist.

I don’t know if it’s important or not but Dianna wishes several friends a late happy birthday on twitter, apologizing for missing the actual day through this spring and summer. It seems like maybe she’s going through something (like a bad break up?) because it’s not like her to miss friends’ birthdays.

March 26, 2013 - Maybe a relevant tweet?

April 7, 2013 - Dianna tweets a photo of James Dean in a day dream like setting:

April 16, 2013 - The article that outed them:

Someone made a fake article that said Swiftgron was dating:

Dianna tweets seven times that day which is a bit much for her.

The hashtag here stands out to me:

The fake article goes viral and all week people are tweeting about the possibility that Dianna and Taylor are dating.

April 23, 2012

It seems to culminate on this day. Many people are buzzing about Swiftgron and this actress tweets:

That’s right at midnight.

About 12 hours later Dianna deletes her public Tumblr:

On that same day Dianna reblogs several things on her private Tumblr. These two stand out to me:

She reblogged both of these posts and the only hashtag they had in common was “#lost love” - she was searching that hashtag.

I think it’s very clear that today is the day Swiftgron 2.0 broke up. I believe they were forced to by their management teams due to being outed.

April 24, 2013 - Taylor seems regretful/stressed out she screenshots her text to Austin and posts:

I think Dianna’s obviously upset about this and as an act of defiance she tweets at Taylor a few days later (Taylor does not respond.)

April 29, 2013

Instead Taylor posts on Dianna’s Birthday (April 30) a silly google search (very DIanna in nature tbh) with a play on the lyrics from 22:

Taylor had the week of Dianna’s 27th birthday off of the Red tour (it was scheduled like that) but as far as we know they did not hang out.

May 4, 2013 - Ours

At her first show since their supposed break-up, Taylor performs Ours as a surprise song. She introduces it by saying: “This is a song about how, when you fall in love everybody starts to give you their opinion. I imagine it could be really hard to make a relationship last, I wouldn’t know. But, given that everyone is giving you their own opinion about it, I think that the only opinion you should really listen to is yours and if you love that person, that should be all that matters.”

Dianna dyes her hair brown and goes to Morocco a week later with Ashley (”You searched the world for something else, To make you feel like what we had”) from about May 11 - May 14 or 15. While there she attends the A Small World relaunch. ASW could be viewed as a bit “sketchy” if you will. I think this is where she befriends Olivia Wilde.

This is Dianna’s first (known) trip to Morocco (Derek Blasberg is there too) but she seems to be drawn there over and over again after this, even marrying Winston Marshall there (and possibly meeting another boyfriend, Gus Wenner there.)

May 19, 2013 - Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas

Taylor wins 8 awards and says this during her acceptance speech:

This and the performance of Ours makes me think Taylor is bitter about a break up right now, even though publicly she broke up with Harry back in January.

This is also the event where Taylor is famously grossed out by Justin and Selena’s hetero nonsense and does this:

It seems like as always, Taylor has a lot going on right now...some kind of drama with Justin is boiling but it’s possible she’s also referencing her breakup with Dianna in her acceptance speech.

Dianna pops back up in NYC.

May 20, 2013 - WLW icon Kristen Stewart apparently spends the night at Taylors?

May 28, 2013 - Taylor plays Haunted on the Red Tour and gives a speech:

"This is a song that I haven't played on this tour so far. It came up when one of my friends tweeted the lyrics to it today and it reminded me that I haven't played this song in about two years. It has to do with the fact that, you know people talk about ghosts all the time. You just kind of imagine it being this supernatural thing, but there's another kind of ghost and it's just a person who is out there walking in the world or just doesn't love you anymore and that's a whole different kind of being haunted." Seems like she’s really going through it.

July 2, 2013 - Anniversary of Hyannis Port trip and interesting private Tumblr post from Dianna:

Bad things happen this summer. Cory Monteith passes away and Taylor is assaulted at a meet and greet by a DJ.

July 2013 - Dianna buys a house in LA (I Wish You Would)

August 2013 - Dianna’s whosirmesir moniker gets outed and she stops blogging under that tumblr account.

August 14, 2013 - Taylor is in a weird place according to the Lover diaries:

1. she seems to have basically written The Lakes here

2. she’s really harping on themes she ends up addressing in I Know Places, Out of the Woods, and Wonderland

August 29, 2013 - Dianna steps out with restaurateur Nick Mathers.

Not sure what to make of this one. Dianna seems to date two types of men: 1. teeny bopper actors for bearding and pr purposes (it generally seems) and 2. rich businessmen. Nick is type 2, but their relationship is reported on as if it’s PR. “Sources” call up gossip sites to fill them in on the relationship and both their projects get plugged along with announcements on them as a couple:

I don’t know if they were more or less legit but she goes out with Taylor five days later...

September 4, 2013 - The Fun! Concert:

Swiftgron’s last pre-Kaylor public sighting - they go to a Fun! concert in LA

It’s just a split instant of video footage but Sarah Hyland uploads this to Vine and it does not look like Dianna is enjoying herself:

Note: It kind of looks like DIanna has her arm around Taylor’s waist and also the person to the right of Taylor is Selby Drummond who is still friends with DIanna as of writing of this masterpost (December 2020) and who still appears to be a fan of Taylor’s.

Dianna does look miserable but I do think it’s interesting they seem to be making an effort to hang out on the two year anniversary of their public (perhaps private as well) first meeting.

Dianna tweets about the concert the next day:

September 6, 2013 - Taylor plays Speak Now as the surprise song on the Red tour. Interesting given the timing of Dianna and her new boyfriend being public just one week before this.

September 8, 2013 - Taylor plays Sad, Beautiful Tragic for the first time ever live and gives this speech:

"I kind of feel like playing a song I've never ever played live before. This is um a song that I wrote about how you know just because something's over doesn't mean it wasn't incredibly beautiful. Cause another lesson I've learned is not all stories have a happy ending and you have to learn how to deal with that. So this is a song about a story that didn't end so happily but was still supposed to happen. This is called Sad, Beautiful, Tragic."

I don’t think this song was originally written about Dianna but I do think at this time while they stumble through the last phase of their relationship Taylor was inspired to sing it.

October 2013 - Taylor writes I Wish You Would, a song inspired by an ex who had recently bought a house near her driving past her house. It’s thought to be about Harry but Harry didn’t buy a house in LA until March 2014. But of course we know Dianna did buy a house near Taylor’s in LA earlier this fall.

November 11, 2013 - The music video for “She’s Just Another Girl” premiers starring Dianna looking stunning in high fashion drag, dressed up as the lead singer, and lip syncing the words to the song:

Some lyrics to the song include:

All of my friends say I should move on She's just another girl, don't let her stick it to your heart so hard And all of my friends say it wasn't meant to be And it's a great big world, she's just another girl

I could be reeling them in left and right Something's got a hold on me, tonight Well maybe all of my friends should confront The fact that I don't want another girl

I think it’s at least possible that Dianna was drawn to this project because the lyrics resonated to her given what she was going through with Taylor at the time.

November 12, 2013 - Day of Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show rehearsals and Dianna posts this (now deleted) picture:

November 13, 2013 - Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show where Taylor performs and Karlie Kloss walks the runway.

Dianna posts this picture (now deleted) of her at Emma Stone’s birthday party from 11 months previous:

It’s likely she’s looking at Taylor in this photo who was seated across from her.

It’s a very random picture to post. It wasn’t titled as a throwback and it wasn’t an exact year after the picture was taken (prompting some kind of happy birthday shout out to Emma Stone or anything) - just a random picture of Dianna smiling, likely at Taylor.

November 17, 2013 - Dianna posts a (now deleted) photo about missing someone:

November 21, 2013 - Taylor posts lyrics from a hopeful love song about a troubled relationship:

Lyrics:

December 9, 2013 - Dianna listens to Pale Blue Eyes

Lyrics are about being emo over a lost love with Blue Eyes:

Sometimes I feel so happy Sometimes I feel so sad Sometimes I feel so happy But mostly you just make me mad Baby, you just make me madLinger on your pale blue eyes Linger on your pale blue eyes

Thought of you as my mountaintop Thought of you as my peak Thought of you as everything I've had, but couldn't keep I've had, but couldn't keep

Linger on your pale blue eyes Linger on your pale blue eyes

If I could make the world as pure And strange as what I see I'd put you in the mirror I put in front of me I put in front of meLinger on your pale blue eyes Linger on your pale blue eyes

Skip a life completely Stuff it in a cup She said, "Money is like us in time It lies, but can't stand up" Down for you is upLinger on your pale blue eyes Linger on your pale blue eyesIt was good what we did yesterday And I'd do it once again The fact that you are married Only proves you're my best friend But it's truly, truly a sinLinger on your pale blue eyes Linger on your pale blue eyes

December 11, 2013 - You know the drill...Dianna posts a now deleted photo to Instagram:

December 13, 2013 - Dianna posts an attention grabbing photo on Taylor’s Birthday

Conclusions - Swiftgron very clearly goes through a rough breakup due to being outed.

Then they attempt some sort of reconciliation - even hanging out (date night?) on the second anniversary of their Fairfax Flea Market meetcute, but it goes wrong.

Taylor is on tour for much of this time and Dianna is posting angst ridden and peculiar Instagram posts exactly at the time Taylor meets Karlie.

Winter 2013 - The Beginning of the End and Dianna’s Private Tumblr

January 4, 2013 - Haylor Breakup

Taylor and Harry publicly split and leave us with this iconic picture:

January 10, 2013 - People’s Choice Awards

Haylor is done, Harry is back in the UK, but Taylor shows up with a hickey anyway. (Dianna is in LA at this time.)

Some time this month Taylor writes How You Get The Girl which is about obviously someone who comes back to get the girl. She references “standing in the rain” and “a long six months.” It’s hard to know if these details are more “fanfic” or actual autobiographical details.

This six months may actually refer to the end of bearding for a while (because it seems like Swiftgron did reunite in Paris in early October.) Exactly six months after Taylor started dating Conor Kennedy would be January 25th, 2013.

As for the rain...

It rained twice in LA this month according to weather reports on the 21st and on the 23rd:

Dianna is in LA at this point and has started a private Tumblr blog under the name whosirmesir (we verified it was hers over on @swiftgron-get-married - and you can click here for more on that if you’re curious and actually I did an entire podcast episode walking people through it if you’re like like to listen to an in depth breakdown of it click here for apple OR click here for spotify OR click here for google.

I also recommend searching the whosirmesir tag on @swiftgron-get-married because we’ve logged a lot of interesting moments and connections to Taylor (quotes, art, and other items that tie DIanna and Taylor together.)

On the private tumblr on January 25th Dianna reblogs this:

It reads “i think we’re just gonna have to be secretly in love with each other and leave it at that...”

This is also the time period it is rumored that Dianna proposed to Taylor. I’m not sure what to make of these rumors. I have not been able to get anywhere near confirming them. It’s entirely unsubstantiated - but I explored the rumor further in this blog post (click for link.) And also on the podcast (will link just a bit down in this post because it relates to something else we’re about to discuss.)

February 4, 2013 - Dianna recommends “Far Nearer” by Jaime on twitter:

The lyrics are essentially:

“I feel better when I, you feel better when I I feel better when I have you near me

You Me You I do, I do, I do“

repeated over and over again

February 9, 2013 - Neruda quote on Tumblr from Dianna

Dianna posts a quote to Tumblr. The translation is, “I love you as certain dark things are loved, secretly, between the shadow and the soul.”

It’s worth noting that Taylor namechecked Neruda in the Red album booklet.

February 10, 2013 - The Grammys

Dianna wants to make sure everyone is watching:

And Taylor posts:

“Look what happened! :)”

She won for Safe and Sound:

And she performs her circus themed rendition of WANEGBT (where she mocks Harry Styles on stage making fun of his accent when she sings the “so he calls me up on the phone” part of the song even though this song was written before she was even with him.)

The only other time Dianna tweeted about the Grammys was when Glee was involved the year before.

February 14, 2013 - Achele breakfast and The Inside Source at Glee Tweet

According to a Facebook user Cory, Dianna, and Lea have breakfast this morning (or around this time):

Later that day Taylor posts the infamous tweet:

The Glee Episode “I Do” airs and there is no Taylor song included. However Dianna and Naya’s characters hook up:

After the episode airs Taylor deletes her tweet.

As always I’m not entirely sure what to make of this but to me it boils down to three possibilities:

1. The fandom seems to think this proves that Dianna purposefully tricked Taylor into watching her “hook up” with Naya on screen. It’s completely possible that that’s the case but I think the next two options make a bit more sense.

2. It was a simple misunderstanding or a joke gone wrong. Taylor had a song earlier on that season of glee (Mine sung as a breakup song by Naya) and I have been told another song of Taylor’s was marketed for another glee episode later that spring. Perhaps someone got their wires crossed and misinformed Taylor.

3. Other nefarious parties:

a. It’s possible that Lea was behind this - she publicly had beef with Taylor at one point and she had been with Dianna that morning. Maybe she met up with DIanna, heard about Swiftgron being happy and back together and got a little jealous and decided to prank Taylor.

b. Ryan Murphy also seemed to despise both Dianna and Taylor around this time. He was also famous for stirring up drama with Gleeks on twitter and generally sewing discontent (particularly surrounding wlw ships and fans). Ryan seems to have a problem with women/lesbians in general. He treated Brittana as a couple horribly on Glee as well as their shippers.

He very publicly shaded Taylor in season one of Scream Queens and said in an interview that Dianna ruined Quinn for him because he said she made her sympathetic.

Not only that but in season 3 he destroyed her character - he made her have a mental breakdown - he had her try and steal a baby - he had her get hit by a car - and a huge plotline in season 3 was Quinn begging Rachel (Lea’s character so Dianna’s irl ex) not to marry Finn (played by Cory - literally the guy Lea chose Dianna over - this is like...emotionally abusive if you ask me.) After season 3 Dianna only appeared in 8 episodes of the remaining 55 after being in every episode and the top third billed of the cast in the first three seasons.

Furthermore in a show called The New Normal there was a bitchy actress character named Brynn who he wrote as high maintenance and unpleasant and then killed off.

So yeah...seems fair to at least consider that Ryan or Lea who publicly had problems with both Taylor and Dianna may have been trying to create problems for Swiftgron. One last note about Lea - there was not a single Achele interaction for the entire year of 2013. The most we got was Dianna liking a tweet about Lea’s album in December 2013 and when asked about one another in interviews they would vaguely say they were still friends. No tweets to one another, no birthday messages, no candids, no hang outs. Lea’s book was also written around this time and does not make a single mention of Dianna - her former roommate and “best friend” even though she spends plenty of time talking about others on the Glee cast.

I did a podcast episode on both the proposal rumors and the inside source at Glee tweet if you want more extensive takes on that!

While I’m not entirely sure Dianna had anything to do with this tweet Taylor references this date (2-14-13) by putting it on a dollar bill as a serial number in The Man music video:

At any rate Taylor deletes the tweet and replaces it with one about her dancers:

Dianna tweets 9 hearts that day (I don’t know if that’s significant but if they were together from March 2012 to July 2012 and then October 2012 to this point it would mean 9 months together...)

February 19, 2013 - Sad Charlie Brown Tumblr post from Dianna:

February 27, 2013 - Fitzgerald quote

Taylor listed this as a quote to live by in an interview with Marie Claire a few months later.

I’m not sure if it’s important but Dianna is very quiet this winter and spring in terms of showing up at events, parties, even being papped out on the street compared to other years around this time. She seems to disappear a bit.

February 27, 2013 - Taylor gives a bday shoutout to her Fiddle player Caitlin:

“Happy Birthday to my magical friend, fiddle extraordinaire @/caitlinbird”

March 12, 2013 - Weird tweets from Dianna “One of those days.”

March 13, 2013 - It’s the first day of the Red tour (is that why Dianna had questions?)

About the Red Tour - the last act of the tour seems to be circus themed which may have been inspired by Dianna’s 26th birthday the previous year and really interestingly Taylor has a white rabbit, which is a reference to Alice in Wonderland (Dianna’s favorite piece of media ever) follows Taylor around stage during the WANEGBT performance as she’s dressed up like a circus ringleader:

March 18, 2013 - Dianna goes on a Girls HBO rant (we know who also loved Girls the show and its creator Lena Dunham (Taylor))

End of March - Lena and Ashley show up at the Red Tour backstage

Conclusion - Swiftgron is on but completely underground. Dianna is blogging and tweeting romantic things about missing girls, Taylor’s interests, and secret love, all while watching Taylor perform at the Grammys and encouraging others to tune in. Something weird happened with the inside source at Glee tweet but who knows what. Dianna seems a bit restless and emo while Taylor leaves to go on tour.

Fall 2012 - Rivergron in Paris Part 2, This Love, and Haylor

For most of late summer and fall 2012 Dianna is in Paris and Normandy filming The Family. She also supposedly starts dating Christian Cooke, another teeny bopper actor around this time. She is spotted with him a handful of times - in NYC once or twice in November 2012 and in LA a couple time in March 2013. Reads as PR/Bearding to me very clearly.

August 10, 2012 - Dianna hits on Naya because her girlfriend is dating a high schooler:

August 13, 2012 - WANEGBT comes out and Dianna tweets:

I do think they’re broken up at this time. I think it’s possible that Dianna was shading/teasing Taylor a bit because they were trying to work it out at this point or she was just genuinely trying to be supportive by tweeting about it. I do think this song is probably about Liz but I think Dianna may have found it funny that her current ex/but possibly soon to be girlfriend again is releasing songs lamenting on/off relationships.

I mean she’s saying “like...never, ever?” it really does feel like she’s teasing her because they are going to get back together and Dianna knows it.

It’s also possible that by this point they had already worked it out and agreed to reunite when Taylor could make it out to France after her likely planned 3 month PR relationship with Conor ended.

September - Taylor breaks up with Conor at some point and also shows up at a Sushi restaurant with Ed and Harry.

One final note regarding Conor x Taylor - There is a rumor that the purchasing of a house in Rhode Island by Taylor which was then flipped (for a healthy profit) at this time was actually a favor she did for the Kennedys. The theory is that the person that Taylor bought the house from had some issue with the Kennedys so Taylor bought it on their behalf. I have been able to confirm that Taylor did sell the house to a sort of “suspicious” shell company but other than that I haven’t been able to confirm the rest of this rumor. The idea is that the trade off was a real estate deal for the Kennedys and a beard for Taylor.

I also think it’s possible that since Joe Kennedy III was running for office that fall they wanted to get. Kennedy name recognition with a younger voter base and Taylor’s fanbase was a good place to strt.

September 29, 2012 - Rivergron in Paris

Naya goes to visit Dianna for a girl’s trip:

If there’s any time period for a Rivergron hookup this seems to be the most reasonable time to me. It’s possible it happened before when they were in London together (while Dianna was actually with Taylor, hence Babe) and of course it’s completely possible that Rivergron only ever was friends but Naya being in Paris with Dianna seems to spark something with Taylor because immediately after that...

October 1, 2012 - Taylor goes to France:

Taylor is in Paris from the 1st-4th October, where she films the music video to Begin Again. She and Dianna have dinner together on the evening of the 3rd. All signs point to Swiftgron being back on at this point.

October 15, 2012 - Dianna is in LA (she has been since the 10th I think)

October 17, 2012 - Taylor writes This Love in LA

So we have Taylor in LA writing a song about getting back together with someone and Dianna in LA but Harry is in the UK performing with 1D. Of course the song could be reflecting on the time Taylor just spent in Europe with Harry (of course...Dianna was there too...) but I just think everyone’s locations at the time of this song’s writing is interesting.

And Dianna posts Angels by The XX:

Lyrics

Light reflects from your shadow It is more than I thought could exist You move through the room Like breathing was easy If someone believed meThey would be As in love with you as I am They would be As in love with you as I am They would be As in love with you as I am They would be In love, love, loveAnd everyday I am learning about you The things that no one else sees And the end comes too soon Like dreaming of angels And leaving without them And leaving without them Being As in love with you as I am Being As in love with you as I am Being As in love with you as I am Being As in love, love, love Love, love, love Love, love, love And with words unspoken A silent devotion I know you know what I mean And the end is unknown But I think I'm ready As long as you're with me

October 22, 2012 - Red is released and Dianna tweets:

November 2012 - Taylor starts publicly dating Harry Styles

I want to take a minute and point out that while Dianna may have had a problem with Taylor dating Conor there’s a few reasons that I think she probably had less of a problem with Haylor because:

1. Harry is vaguely out as queer himself (he was not at the time but is now in October 2020 while this is being written.) I don’t know if he’s attracted to women or not but I do think Haylor was to cover up a mlm relationship he was in at the time so Dianna was probably less bothered by him and...

2. Dianna was spotted hanging out with Taylor and Harry. I think it’s possible she asked to be around them a bit more so she knew for sure nothing was going on between them and...

3. Harry was already incredibly famous at the time, unlike Conor, and would have been fully aware that a PRomance is not an organic relationship based on emotions or feelings.

FURTHERMORE

Harry was dating absolutely Nick Gryles at the time of Haylor. Yep... we have debunked Taylor’s most prolific muse...

December 3, 2012 - Ripple of Hope Gala

Dianna accompanies Taylor to the Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights 2012 Ripple of Hope gala. They have matching bangs, Dianna tweets, and gives an interesting first person pronoun riddled interview:

December 6, 2012 - Dinner at the Crosby hotel and Emma Stone’s Birthday Party:

Dianna, Taylor, Harry and others have dinner at the Crosby hotel. There are videos and photos from the paps:

Moments that stand out to me are Dianna pushing Harry away from her as if to dismiss him:

and Dianna getting into the same car as Harry and Taylor while others take other cars (she’s in the back seat and tapping her lap anxiously it seems):

Later a photo from that night is posted in the back stage special fan meet and greet area on the Red Tour:

There’s also this little bit of video footage where it looks as if Dianna looks back at Taylor to make sure she sees the curb while walking:

This is also around the time that Taylor does an interview and photoshoot with Elle Magazine and Dianna goes with her to keep her company:

from cmt offstage:

December 11, 2012 - Dianna goes back to LA and posts a hopeful love song (Anything Could Happen) to Tumblr (but probably just because they sang it on Glee):

and Taylor heads out to the UK to celebrate her birthday with Harry:

however...

It looks as though Dianna had no choice but to go back to LA - she had to film for Glee:

but the next day she is taking a 14 hour long flight:

I’ve heard that yes she may have been in the UK but by that point Taylor was already in Germany - I’m not sure - but it’s interesting and worth noting.

Conclusion - Swiftgron broke up but is back together (or certainly back on good terms.) The timing of the writing of HYGTG makes me wonder if they didn’t become entirely official again until January but we’ll get into that in the next segment.

The Swiftgron Summer Part 2 - Hyiannis Port and the first breakup

June 10, 2012 - Lover Diary entry 22, IKYWT, and WANEGBT

My big takeaway here is she is daydreaming about a trip she’s going to take with Dianna that is nearly a month away.

Dianna is in NYC from 6-12-12 to 6-19-12 give or take, including a Coach party hosted at the High LIne

June 21, 2012

Due to a bunch of tweets from Ashley, Claire and Dianna the L Chat deduces that the foursome is possibly having a BBQ at Taylor’s and all hanging out over that period of time:

June 23, 2012 - “I think it’s strange that you think I’m funny, cause he never did” tease on Twitter:

On June 27 Actress Roxy Olin, who had been spending some time with Taylor and the other girls tweets this:

July 2, 2012 - Pancake Pantry

Fans spot the girls at Pancake Pantry in Nashville

Taylor’s Tanglewood show with James Taylor

Dianna says she’s there to see Taylor when fans ask:

Some other fans get a picture with her:

We also have this picture of Taylor with James Taylor’s family:

Roxy Olin also posts this picture of what appears to be sound check:

Here’s a video of most of her performance. She sounds really good!

My favorite moment is when Taylor sings ours (which Dianna mentioned wanted to sing on Glee) Taylor points out to the crowd when she says my choice is you:

The next day Dianna is spotted at an ice cream shop called Four Seas

and is later in the same dress spotted playing flag football with Taylor and others

and Taylor gives her shotgun while riding in a golf cart (that’s Ethel Kennedy at the wheel!):

We also have this photo of Taylor from that day (it’s rumored Dianna took this picture but I have no way to know that):

Taylor pictured in the same skirt here on this sailboat:

Kerry Townsend, one of the Kennedy grandchildren, tweets this:

“Arrived at my grandma's house to find her chilling with Taylor swift and dianna agron. I hope I'm this cool when I'm 83.”

We also get this really lovely picture (one of my favorites) of Dianna and a blurb that she posts to Tumblr:

(she posted this to tumblr and twitter on July 9)

We also get these photos:

These pictures of Taylor come from a girl from Cape Cod that same weekend:

Roxy Olin posts this to Instagram:

People speculate who it is when it’s posted. We have no way of knowing but I think it’s Taylor on the left, Dianna in the middle, and Claire or Roxy on the right (Ashley is shorter than Dianna so I don’t think it’s her.)

It’s worth noting that the tabloids are all abuzz with the idea that Taylor is going to be dating or is already dating Patrick Schwarzenegger. Who was feeding people this idea? Because we know she doesn’t end up dating him.

Crazy Days and Nights posts about the trip and someone leaves my favorite comment on the internet on the article:

If you can’t see that screenshot it says “Lola S said...I know a girl who hooked up with Dianna Agron four months ago and still won’t shut up about her. I wonder if Taylor has the same tendencies”

Obviously there’s absolutely no way to verify it but ~four months before that would be about the end of Feb/beginning of March right when Achele ended and right before Swiftgron started.

Dianna heads back to LA and it appears Taylor goes to Nashville for a while after this.

Directly after the trip Dianna tweets this (she had been suspiciously absent from twitter for a while):

July 22, 2012 - Giffoni Film Festival

Dianna gives an interview and is asked what she plans on doing in the future, particularly if acting doesn’t work out. She says earnestly she guesses she could “Just go on the road with Taylor and carry her bags” adding in a little chuckle at the end.

Taking a moment to note here that Dianna does end up going on tour with a musician...her husband Winston Marshall who she later marries in 2016. Interesting that she said she’d do with Taylor what she ended up doing with her husband.

Three days later on July 25, 2012 - Taylor starts publicly dating Conor Kennedy who had just turned 18 on July 24, 2012.

Conclusion - I believe this marks the first Swiftgron break up for a few reasons:

1. Around 3 months later, Taylor writes This Love which is a song about getting back together with someone (”This love is good, this love is bad, this love is alive back from the dead”) when she visits Dianna in France.

2. Remember how I said that Achele ended partially because Lea chose to try and make her PRomance with Cory Monteith into a real romance? I believe Dianna feared it was possible Taylor might do the same thing with Conor. I highly doubt Taylor had any legitimate feelings towards this high schooler she was foisted into a romance with. However, by all accounts Conor is straight and you have to imagine that if you’re 18 and you’ve been pushed into a dating situation, no matter how fake, with a gorgeous, sweet, and wealthy ultra famous pop star, you probably wouldn’t be able to help but develop feelings for her anyway and Conor was young and likely immature. He may have expected something real to develop from the relationship.

3. Swiftgron does not spend time together again until after Taylor and Conor publicly split (immediately after Taylor and Conor break up Taylor goes to paris and is with Dianna.)

As for a Conor debunk - His cousin Joe Kennedy III was running for office that fall and I think it’s possible they wanted to use Taylor’s name to up the Kennedy recognition amongst young voters while Taylor needed a green eyed muse for EHC (even though she wrote it before she met Conor as far as we know, but she did try to give it to him with the misspelled Hyiannis Port liner note - I think that was her way of giving the song to Dianna who also has an iann in her name)

The Swiftgron Summer Part 1

May 4, 2012 - Taylor goes jewelry shopping:

May 6-9 - Dianna is in NYC - Spotted in SOHO and then Met Gala (Lea is at the Met Gala as well, they don’t interact.)

The alert anon is back on TLC on May 12 and suggests something is going to happen that week. Now they’re posting as Ashley/Claire because people keep suggesting it’s one of them:

May 15, 2012 - Everything Has Changed and Dominick's Dinner Date

Taylor tweets about writing songs with Ed Sheeran on this day. The song is likely Everything Has Changed the song she dueted with him on the Red album The song is about a new love with green eyes:

Appropriately the girls have dinner that night (is this what the alert anon was referring to?) Taylor and Dianna are matchy matchy and joined by Ashley and Claire. The paps catch them and there is even video.

Dianna appears to brush Taylor’s wrist or arm, almost protectively as if to hold her back a bit or warn her since the paps are out in full force, as they exit the restaurant:

Dianna is in London on May 23rd (in London with Naya at least from May 22-24)

I think this is the inspiration for the “I guess you’re in London today” part of Come Back... Be Here.

Meanwhile Taylor is with Ashley and Claire acting gay on May 24th

“Evidently, it was ‘face paint Wednesday’ last night. @ashavignone drew a unicorn on @clairewinter’s face. Impressed.“

May 28, 2012 - Taylor and Ed are spotted at the studio - likely recording Everything Has Changed:

Right around this time Taylor writes The Last Time as well:

May 31, 2012 - Dianna apparently goes on a date with director Henry Joost

She looks thrilled...I don’t think it’s any accident that they lined up outside with the rest of the audience. They wanted to be spotted “on a date” because a couple days later Dianna is hosting the GLAAD awards.

Henry Joost actually ended up directing the Best Best Friends video for Kaylor...is it possible he’s a trusted contact of Taylor’s so they set this date up to avoid public speculation about Swiftgron after Dianna hosted the GLAAD awards?

Here’s an article reporting on the GLAAD Awards - You’ll see why Dianna went on two dates with Henry one two days before the GLAAD awards and one a couple days after and then never saw him again as far as we know:

Dianna’s association with the LGBT community at the GLAAD awards was not going to help the gay rumors surrounding her. By having her out on a very public date with a man it would help quell the rumors surrounding her sexuality.

There’s a funny picture from that night I’m going to include. Someone recognized her and asked for an autograph on a rather scandalous Achele photo and Dianna makes a funny face while signing it:

June 3, 2012 - Danna hosts the 23rd Annual GLAAD Media Awards at San Francisco Marriott Marquis As part of her hosting duties Dianna auctions off a kiss for charity and brags about having kissed girls before - sort of unprompted.

Sometime during this period Taylor writes Come Back... Be Here

The only conclusion I draw from this is there’s no way Everything Has Changed, Come Back... Be Here and The Last Time are about the same person - they’re all written during this time and one is about the painful end to a relationship and the others are about a soft and happy start to a new one. (The final version of Everything Has Changed seems to obviously be about Dianna to me though it’s possible the original draft was for LIz.)

Also it seems really obvious that Dianna’s incredibly brief “fling” with Henry Joost is just to distract from her hosting the GLAAD Awards.
