#gaylor swift Me! mv

[agreyrose]

So hang on, hang on, lemme make sure I’m getting this right. So she’s in a psych ward. In a wedding gown. And she takes the “miracle move on drug” the “forget him” pill of which the effects are temporary. Right, right. And then she’s set free, and immediately walks into a sterile office in a VICTORIAN MOURNING gown! And sits down to start working away on her typewriter. She’s writing, and she loves her muse, and it’s ruining her life. Okay. And then she and the muse are laying on the papers, in love. The pages of her work, her diary, her songs, THE FILES!! And they’re together, and the pages are flying around them, blocking them from the camera, okay? You still with me? She reaches for the muse and then she’s getting electric shock therapy?? With curly hair?? Okay. Okay. And again, loving the muse is ruining her life. And all the doctors, the people closest to her, run away scared when the electricity short circuits or whatever, and the muse is the only one who notices and stops it from killing her!!! The muse is in a (glass) phone booth, and Taylor is sitting right on top, but out of view from the muse. And they are in the middle of NOWHERE. The rust that grew between telephones??? And then we’re back in the office, and she’s pulling all the files out of the drawers!! In the mourning gown again!!! And she’s letting them out, ruining the sterility, and she’s freaking out, sobbing. And then she’s facing the camera, stone cold, letting the files swirl around her, now out in the open ON FIRE I MIGHT ADD. And back in the psych ward in the wedding dress, she breaks the glass to escape, to bolt?? And then, once the files are free, once the glass is broken, once the muse steps out of the glass!! Then she can touch the muse. Then she can touch the muse. Somebody give me an oxygen mask, holy shit

No bc she’s actually insane for this. “THE ONE to watch” -> performing the 1 as a surprise song for the first time today and the blue and orange 🌑🪐 YOU’RE LOSING ME. Karma is coming

The karma door descending just like lwymmd karma Taylor in the box (x)

THE POLAROIDS = 1989 ERA. Idk how I didn’t realize this before. This analysis abt made me cry. She’s referenced the love blackout multiple times over the yrs.

Like I’ve said before, I don’t think maroon and dbatc are breakup songs but rather abt their public separation and her choosing to play them and exile right before Karlie attended the tour lends credence to this (x).

It makes perfect sense why she’d play NYD the last night of tour after announcing 1989 tv. They made it through the blackout. Exile ended.

Tell me more about New Year’s Day

Ok, it is a long read, written half drunk (excellent  Monbazillac straight outta Dorgogne)  not gonna edit the train of thoughts, so here you go:

When Taylor talked about this song, she said she found the “inspiration” in new years eve parties and how the day after you stay with the one you share your life with to clean the mess and spend the day in peace, in private which is a huge contrast with the partying.Here is how I read it. This song wraps up the album. But imo, in taylor private life it describes her transition from NYE its glitter and polaroid aka the 1989 era with the social media and media overexposure, the girls squad, the friends, the parties, the outings. “you and me from the night before”: everything they lived during this phase in life that she is about to put behind her.She is scared because she doesn’t know what the reaction of the person she’s singing for would be if they get to the last page of the book she is about to close, will that person stay for the next one?This is almost the only song in which she talks about doubts coming from the other person because they are both scared. She says she wants the celebrations but she’d also stick to do life’s mundane tasks when the lights are out, and by that I think it means the beginning of her blackout phase.Verse 2 is where they start putting this plan en route, their taxi ride. It is a very interesting non verbal exchange, the other person squeezing her hand is a sign of reassurance, one that is done by someone who doesn’t need words to say what you need to hear, your long term SO, your BFF or a close family member. She replies that even if this trip is long, she is not going anywhere and will be there for the worst and for better times alike.In the post chorus and the bridge, I think she is preparing her love interest for a difficult part. A part where they will probably be physically separated from each other for longer periods than they are used to before. Thus asking the person to hold on to the memories they shared together (3 times. you can stretch and reach and say it corresponds to 3 years relationship before the blackout if you feel like it, I don’t make the rules). And then she tells her love interest that if they hold on to these memories she will hold on to them as a pair. She is not leaving, she is just retreating.She is asking them not to forget her and this relationship she is trying to keep during this new phase of life, where their separate lives would probably be less in sync than before. She knows her lover like the back of her hand and could not stand the idea of them becoming strangers.Overall, at first I did not pay attention to the depth of it I really just thought she was describing the aftermath of a party. But she is not. Wouldn’t you expect a mention of alcohol here (in Taylor’s most alcohol-drenched album)? well surprise, there is none. Because it is not describing an actual party, but her transition from the 1989 to the Rep era and wanting her partner to cross that bridge with her. Some sort of “through thick-and-thin promise” in a form of a soft ballad. It also strikes me as a narrative of a long term relationship where two people are settled in a certain lifestyle and they are about to make a drastic change due to what life throws at them and they are maybe hesitantly walking to their destination but holding hands firmly.So that’s my meta-analysis and very liberally done interpretation of this song. It was a head-scratcher for me, she wrote it and recorded it quite fast and felt that THIS is the song that should wrap up an album she called reputation with and that she is releasing after she completely turned her public life around. And this is how it made sense to me.

Feel absolutely free to ignore this if you don’t want to dive deeper into the gaylorism topic but I‘m wondering what you think about T. Swift and queerflagging? Hear me out, I kind of submerged myself into gaylor tiktok a while ago bc I thought it was such a hilarious and ridiculous conspiracy that I wanted to know what those people were smoking and while a lot of their „evidence“ is incredibly far fetched, there are some things that genuinely baffle me like Swift mashing up two songs (it‘s nice to have a friend x dorothy) to sing „It‘s nice to have a dorothea“ (friend of dorothy = saying you‘re gay without explicitly saying it), Swift climbing up a ladder during the lavender haze performance on the eras tour + the lyrics being „staring at the ceiling with you“ (lavender ceiling = „glass ceiling imposed on lgbtq people: an unofficial upper limit to their professional advancement“ according to dictionary.com), Swift making herself the mayor of gay town in the MV of You Need to Calm Down and dyeing her hair the color of the Bi flag, mashing up another two songs to sing „do you wish you could still touch her? they see right through me (…) can you see right through me“ (the archer x question), having lyrics like „haven’t decided yet (…) whether I‘m gonna flip you off or pull you into the closet“ (imgonnagetyouback) and „I swear you could hear a hair pin drop“ (right where you left me) and „your finger on my hair pin trigger“ (the great war) = hairpin drop is another way of saying you’re gay without explicitly saying it — STUFF LIKE THIS!!! A part of me refuses to believe that a rich woman and HUGE celebrity in her mid thirties would be afraid to come out if she was actually queer but if she is straight, why…. why does she keep making these queer references 😭 like I don’t think she‘s just stupid and oblivious, I‘m pretty sure she has a team of people who would kindly inform her that the things she says and does and puts into her music are appropriating queer culture and history? I could write off one or two of such things as a coincidence but this is only the stuff I could remember without looking up…. I have never been more confused like am I just crazy for seeing queer symbolism in her music 😭 is this her version of allyship or corporate pride or

[rhfffas]

"go listen to actual queer actists music" this "why are you so desperate need your stan to be gay" that, or even "gaylor is such a white gay thing", but how abt repressed (and depressed) queers of color relate to taylor swifts music?

i cant speak for all but i can speak for myself. im a gaylor who grew up in asian. ofc i listen to openly queer and unapologetically queer artists like fletcher, janelle monáe, lil nas x, miley cyrus, hayley kiyoko, lady gaga, etc etc, but i (and some of my close asian gaylor friends) also live in an extremely homophobic society where queerness is even banned in public, let alone openly talking abt or showing queerness in real life. sometimes those openly queer artists' work just arent necessarily our queer experience. enter taylor swift. her music is SO relatable to closeted/semi-closeted queer ppl. maybe im not white, but those self-doubting, those secret loves and heartbreaks, those depressions, those disprovals from parents and society in taylor swifts music, they are so queer. they are so relatable so familiar, they are so me, they are so us. takes one to know one, right? so ofc we became gaylors. she def sings abt us. she def knows abt our type of queer struggles and also our type of queer joy. and we get to learn all those queer history no one could teach us abt! what a nice thing to have an online fandom like that!

the question should never be "why dont you(gaylors) go listen to actual queer actists music?" but it should be "why cant you(hetlors) just acknowledge the undoubted queerness in taylor swift music?" (also, the RIGHT question for queer hetlors, "who do you think queer-code those taylor swifts songs?????")

the question should never be "why are you so desperate need your stan to be gay", but "why cant you see her?????"

the question should never be "gaylor is such a white gay thing" but "you DO know there are queers of color gaylors out there right??!!?!"

i will always be thinking and criticizing taylors colonialism problem in wildest dream mv, or the exploitation of women of color in shake it off mv, or her CO2 emissions, shes a rich white billionaire after all. but criticizing those problems doesnt mean queers of color cannot or will not relate to her work. bit racist dont you think???? cuz us queers of color gaylors are literally here.

UMM so cruel summer and a lot of other songs are making a lotttt more sense now that I’ve realized the “devil” that Taylor keeps referring to is actually the music industry as a whole thanks to @keepingsecretstokeepyoutk (see this post). “He looks up grinning like a devil” // “I would’ve stayed on my knees and I damn sure never would’ve danced w the devil AT 19” // “Dear reader if you aim at the devil make sure you don’t miss.” Do you remember the Top Global Artist vid that spotify released that had cruel summer as the background song and had a bunch of cruel summer references? Yeah go back and watch that again w this context in mind 😃 Taylor (the angel) has had enough of the games and is gonna end them once and for all which is very Katniss Everdeen of her—hello the archer 🏹 if any of you have read or watched the hunger games you know how the story ends

And you'll also remember that Katniss escapes the games twice by cheating--the first time w poison berries and the second time by destroying the arena itself (which was a clock) WITH itself using a lightning strike current at midnight that shot thru her arrow -> "And there was one prize I'd cheat to win." Not to mention Katniss was the mockingjay, a symbol of rebellion and resistance. And the fire symbolism in this trilogy was meant to represent how that rebellion can spread from a spark of hope. Snow lands on top but fire melts snow. Taylor is a huge hunger games fan so I wouldn't be surprised at all if these parallels were intentional. Also I'm not the first one to notice the hunger games connections, I saw some other gaylors point this out so I can't take full credit for that

“You play stupid games you win stupid prizes” // “Devils roll the dice” // "Baby let the games begin" // The scrabble instagram post // The mastermind chess board // "You see all the wisest women had to do it this way, cause we were born to be the pawn in every lover's game" // "No more keeping score now I just keep you warm. No more tug of war now I just know there's more"

I think it's possible Taylor knew that her masters were gonna be sold hence all the game imagery and songs abt heartbreak on lover

She's literally gonna take down the industry as a whole and expose everything. This is the reason for all the cryptic messages and meticulous planning. AND THIS IS WHAT THE ALBATROSS IS ABT TOO. “She’s the albatross she is here to destroy you.” They tried to keep her locked away in cages and towers and closets and tried taming her and pulling out her teeth but it didn’t work

“Devils that you know raise worse hell than a stranger” SHE’S the devil now and she’s abt to make their lives a living hell

“She’s the death you chose” i.e. the music industry chose to kill Taylor (which is why TTPD is a post-mortem album) so now she’s coming back to haunt them hence the ghostly Victorian attire. “We gather here we line up weeping in a sunlit room and if I’m on fire you’ll be made of ashes too.” THIS is the karma she’s talking abt that will happen at midnight!!

“You’ll see me in hindsight tangled up w you all night burning it down”

I am the APPARITION. I am the LINE OF POETRY. THAT’S TAYLOR. SHE’S THE GHOST WRITING POST-MORTEM POETRY

Literally feel like I am abt to explode from all the earth-shattering revelations I’ve just had

[daisyswift3]

NOT ME! JESUS CHRIST. Also this just confirms to me that TSMWEL and MBOBHFT are directed at herself as well as Scott B. SHE’S the sick (which is a double entendre meaning both cool and mentally ill) army doll purchased at the mall that broke a barbie’s heart. “Called the rain to end our days of wild” -> “He was sunshine I was midnight rain” and “I’d give you my wild.” She blames both herself and Scott B for her failed coming out. Yes he threw her off her game by selling her masters but she still could’ve come out

OUCH 😭

taylor swift on lesbian visibility day 2019:🌈 me! 🌈 out now

taylor swift, discussing the concept for ME! MV in Ms. Americana 2020: so cats, cowboy boots, gay pride... everything that makes me me!

taylor swift in the me! mv:

brain-dead swifties: taylor swift is obviously straight and NOT a queerbaiter. gaylors are just delusional everyone knows you have to hate the person you call gay gaylors like taylor swift too much.

[notyouraryang0dd3ss]

hiii it’s the fortnight mv anon person😭😭 i don’t know how to refer to myself lol but I just wanted to say thank you for actually watching the video that’s real commitment. I had also been avoiding it but I started having doubts that maybe I was just being a bad feminist and full of internalised misogyny so I had to double check that I was actually justified in not liking Taylor swift😌 I’m also the anon from the gaylortok thing so the brainwashed swiftie takes were starting to get to me anyways I also wanted to tell you you are basically the only anti swift tumblr I interact with because the others spiralled into Zionists or started attacking ts for like her looks and shit which didn’t sit right with me but you’re a gem and ily and thank you for your service🫡

you are not a bad feminist full of internalised misogyny please 😭 if your feminism starts and ends with taylor swift you are not a feminist you are swiftie and swifties seem to think the terms (and more dangerously, the ideology) are synonymous 😭

i fear that’s the problem with swifties they are so convinced in their delusions they have you questioning your own rational thoughts/opinions about this woman. like they really are a cult because how are you SO DEEP IN with this woman? it’s terrifying. and don’t worry anon gaylors are probably the most delusional swifties of them all

🥺🩷🩷🩷 thank you so much. it’s bizarre how many zionist anti swift blogs there are because this is the only tag where i see so many zionists congregate. and i hate hate hate when they attack ts looks! it’s one thing to analyze how her as a blonde haired blue eyed tall thin white woman impacts her power and public image but what use is there to call her ugly and nitpick her features. i think that’s cruel! you can find her unattractive (especially if you’re analyzing how she is peak eurocentric beauty standards) but like making fun of her appearance isn’t going to do anything except reflect badly on you.

anyways anon im grateful for you too 🩷

( i’ll give you the 🌌 emoji because it reminds me of a fortnight for some reason? if that’s okay with you!)

i recently remembered that when the lover track list was revealed, cornelia street stood out to me as being potentially fruity. i didn’t know how right i was

[daisyswift3]

In addition to “hairpin drop,” “dim light” is another big indicator that the restaurant is actually a metaphor for the closet. She’s repeatedly used light/dark, day/night, summer/winter as metaphors for being in or out of the closet.

“You’ve come a long way, open the blinds let me see your face.” In other words, let the sunshine in 🌞

how many people cannot fully appreciate her genius because they do not understand all the layers and references in her work

lover said ”we’re throwing out our cloaks and our daggers” and evermore said ”they’re back”

Ok so basically Chaos = Ginger 🫚 = ATW short film = Red TV = Red hair = Red herring = Error 321 = TTPD = Glitch = Blood Moon vinyl = Bad Blood/Blank Space/Wildest Dreams = 1989 era = Bejeweled mv = Moonstone vinyl = 1st quarter of the midnights clock (1,2,3) = 321 exile ends = Ghosting the prince and kaylor reunion? (see this post). The math is mathing. So this means she’s probably had this plan in place for at least 2 yrs, since midnights, and knew exactly how she wanted to unravel the narrative. And thank god we finally know what those damn midnights vinyls mean now. I made a vinyl theory post last yr explaining how the 12 hrs on the clock represent 12 months or a yr and it seems it was right for the most part I was just off by a yr lol. The vinyls clock foreshadowed the 4 stages of her coming out plan and the beginning of this yr marked the initiation of this plan. This means we are currently in the 5th hr and the end of the yr is midnight ->

“Don’t read the last pg but I stay when it's hard or it's wrong or we're makin' mistakes, I want your midnights but I'll be cleanin' up bottles with you on New Year's Day” (x)

Who is the intern that has to order all the stunt props that tie in to eveything Taylor has ever thought of in her waking life? I hope they get paid vacations and a 401K because GADT DAMN

[chickawah23]

Never forget.3

Taylor gave Karlie a shout out in the LWYMMD behind the scenes footage

Taylor picks up the sun 🌞 necklace and describes it as “subtle jewelry” (good joke)

She then does her face scratch tell. (You can tell a tell when the person is not really saying anything because she’s more concerned with showing you something).

When she scratches her nose you can see the VS Angel ring which she makes sure remains visible until the end of the clip

Then she says she’s going home to eat Chinese food with her cats

Taylor is a gem lol
