Guys I was just reading the lyrics to Coney Island and they are giving Easter eggs for comingoutlor on her birthday. As if she’s singing to fans who leave her after she comes out in her birthday, “disappointments, close your eyes / and it gets colder and colder / when the sun goes down”
Colder and colder = winter months, but also emotional distance
Sun goes down = the end, into midnight / darkness (and obviously the darkest nights come before the daylight, and we got Midnights and TTPD before… whatever is next, pink and orange, karma, gay vault tracks, etc)
“Were you standing in the hallway / with a big cake, happy birthday”. Wanting to celebrate her birthday with her. But then the “disappointment” of Taylor not being who they thought she was.
AGGH now I’m thinking Coney Island would be a good song to close Eras Tour with
Note: these are like, Wildest Dreams, okay? I understand many of them may not happen but LETS GO BITCH
*kaylor content ahead*
- Missing light pink lover body suit. This was posted in the background of a post by the designer. In the Eras Tour Book, there’s also a Taylor holding a pink guitar that hides most of the outfit, but it looks suspiciously similar to the one from the designer’s post—pink and silver.
- ME! added to the set list. Possible Brennan Yurie guest appearance. The same drum line from TTPD and the original performance but in screaming color!
- New light pink The Man jacket. I’ve heard people guessing green for the arrival to The Emerald City, but I think it’s more likely to be light pink, silver, or light orange to match the first performance of ME! live. I’m going with light pink (it’s in the Eras Tour book)
- Green or pink Lover guitar. In the Eras Tour book, Taylor is holding the pink guitar. But there’s also a green guitar sitting with the blue and purple one that we’ve never seen before. I am torn because green is the new one and it’s the last chance to debut it, but also if she’s going for lesbian ME! colors, then pink would match the best. But also green would match Glinda and Elphaba colors and draw attention to Wicked & the Wizard of Oz parallels… ugh, decisions.
- Okay I’m looking at the Eras Tour Book again and the outfits are listed in a different order than the eras have been performed. So I’m guessing that the order of Eras for the last show will change: Lover, Red, folkmore, 1989, Fearless, TTPD, (possible evermore added back??), Reputation, Acoustic / Surprise Songs, Speak Now, and then Midnights.
- I am suspicious of the Mastermind set design that leaked having a purple Speak Now dress in it, but I think it would interrupt the flow of Midnights too much to be incorporated tonight.
- The missing pawn (in every Lover’s game) is in play tonight, and stops the check mate. This connects to the lyrics but also Karlie’s posts with a missing pawn. (What if Karlie appears on stage as the missing pawn lmao)
- I Bet You Think About ME red T-shirt. Because ME! Out now! And the masters heist, the failed coming out, etc.
- New Red guitar?? There’s 2 listed in the Eras Tour book, but I think she’s only been using one?? Idk, take a huge grain of salt with this one.
- purple folkmore dress. In the Eras Tour Book, she’s the one holding a guitar. (I’m paying attention to the Taylor’s holding guitars because the Fearless Taylor holding a guitar was the N1 and N2 dress)
- 1989 is hard. I originally thought that she would do green / yellow on N2 and green / green on N3, but she broke the pattern. Now I am questioning if she will wear either set at all, just to draw attention to the fact that she didn’t wear them. She could wear the lesbian flag with pink / orange. She could wear yellow / yellow for daylight and the yellow brick road. She could still wear green / green. I think gonna go with yellow / yellow* (detailed explanation at the end of post) because that’s the only place I can put yellow and I think she will wear all the colors of the rainbow tonight.
- New solid blue fearless dress. (In the Eras Tour Book)
- Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me TTPD Dress
- New all gold TTPD outfit. (This could also count as yellow??). This is Taylor the courageous lion, daylight, etc.
- Gold reputation bodysuit. (This could also count as yellow??). I’ve also seen theories from the LWYMMD MV that she could wear a silver reputation body suit, since she wears 3 snake rings—red, gold, and silver. Idk about this one.
- My heart says Sunrise Boulevard / lesbian flag surprise song dress. But based on the Eras Tour Book, I can’t draw my eyes away from the green surprise song dress. I think there may be a new green surprise song dress, and maybe that’s where the Emerald City will come into play.
- Pink speak now dress with the koi fish guitar.
- Long Live added back to the set list for the last night
- orange midnights dress. (It’s in the eras tour book)
- Cutouts Midnights bodysuit. For the gays.
- Multi-color or light pink Karma jacket. She’s worn the light pink Karma jacket 5 times, and wearing it tomorrow would make 6… 6 for TS6, reputation OR Karma the lost album
- Karlie Kloss in attendance. Parallels to August 2023, with Taylor looking at Karlie’s section in the audience all fucking night lmao
- Betty Speech: no mention of imaginary worlds or characters. COMMIT. This one is just a desperate hope.
- I’ll have to circle back to surprise songs after doing some more research. Right now, I’ve been thinking it would be SO CUTE to do Christmas Tree Farm and maybe announce the holiday album as a treat, but it feels like a big stretch. And it would take away from all of the other lesbian and queer flagging that I am predicting for tonight.
- I think what’s more likely is an announcement of another Eras Tour Concert Film that includes TTPD. Or maybe the Eras Tour Documentary. But I feel like this one may take longer to put together. These may also come at a later time, but again, WILDEST HOPES AND DREAMS.
*My reasoning for the yellow / yellow 1989 outfit. I 100% believe in the Yellow Brick Road / Wizard of Oz theories. Taylor is taking the YBR toward coming out. However, I think that the timeline is more stretched out than we originally thought. There are 14 books in the original story, with the Wizard of Oz and the journey to the emerald city being just the first one. Some amazing creators have dug into these books and I agree with them that getting to the emerald city is just one part of the journey. I think that’s why we haven’t gotten the green / yellow and green / green. Instead, we got yellow / orange. Not for Chiefs colors, though that could also be a nice distraction for the hetlors. It’s for the yellow brick road and the orange field of poppies. So Taylor has gone through the field of poppies and gotten to the yellow brick road, and she’s going to step off the yellow brick road and arrive at The Emerald City. There have already been theories about the green / green 1989 set and the Vancouver goodbye post being the post that aligns with the yellow brick road on Taylor’s instagram feed. This is a good theory. But I’m also suspicious of that green surprise song dress and suspect that could also be a good Emerald City post picture. I think her coming out journey will end on her birthday next year. 12/13/25.
Because she still has 2-3 re-records, with Debut, Reputation, and the holiday album. And I think Karma will come next year as well, if she’s following her pattern of 2 re-records and a new album.

CHAPTER 17: the word nice
Yes I will probably post all of the chapters
And then go through an analyze all of them cuz HOLY SHIT
It’s so Taylor coded. It’s so AWARE of not only everything the fandom sees in her (Gaylors and Swifties/Hetlors), but also the general public, the media, the music industry, and, most importantly, how Taylor sees it all (albeit, filtered through Rob’s voice).
Ep 3 of the docuseries going hard on “look at all these people and their families whose entire careers are Taylor Swift and are also like one big family”
Another chance to reflect on all they’d stand to lose by potential backlash; it’s not just Taylor’s life.
