Picture a hypothetical hedge maze.

There are multiple entry points to this maze. Each entry gives clues to its potential as being able to lead you on an easy path to the center. In the center, the prize is you get confirmation that you now understand the details of Taylor swift’s private life and inspiration behind her songs.

So you choose an entrance that seems the best to you, based on what you know. You enter the maze and it is infinite. There are multiple twists and turns and dead-ends. As you wander through, new paths are created and you follow some of those as well. You get nearer and nearer to the center but you never quite reach it. Along the way, you encountered others on the same quest. You find out they entered the maze at a different point than you, but here you are at the same point. You walk along together for a bit but eventually you choose different paths and part ways. You can see the center but you can’t get in. So you retrace some steps and try different paths, with the same result. You never quite make it to the middle.

So you make your way out of the maze and look at the entrances again. Maybe you try a different entrance with clues that don’t make quite as much sense as the first one but you figure you’ll give it a try. Similar results as the first but you don’t ever get as close to the center as you had the first time.

So again you make your way out and re-examine the entrances. There is one entrance you never try because it’s not even really an entrance. It’s guarded by a creepy abandoned ventriloquist dummy that haunts your dreams since childhood, and is partly overgrown with thorns, and immediately inside it appears to be a dead-end you can see without even going in.

So you go back to the first one. Since you left, many new paths have been generated and you try some of them, but again you can’t reach the center. You’re farther away than ever.

You repeat this endlessly. Trying different entrances wandering the twist and turns. But never make it to the center.

What you don’t know is that there is only one entrance that can get you to the middle. And that entrance is the stupid scary looking one you don’t ever try. That one, once you pass the harmless but scary dummy, and wiggle through a bit of the overgrowth, you find that the dead-end is false, and it leads into a labyrinth with one twisting turning path directly to the center. If only you’d get past the fear of going in…

A silly little essay I wrote after Midnights came out.

[9w1ft]

Imagine you’re living in a communal house with a bunch of people who like to do puzzles of pictures of cats. Everyone likes to do them and you all get pretty good at it.

Then one day, a mysterious someone secretly switches all the box tops of the puzzles. No one knows. But people go on enjoying trying to put the puzzles together because that’s what what they do together. And it’s always been fun and they are good at it. But the puzzles are suddenly very hard to put together. Because they are trying to match the picture on the box. But the pieces don’t match the picture on the box. Regardless, they keep trying to force those pieces to fit the picture on the box. It’s confusing and frustrating to be in this group of people who all used to enjoy putting puzzles together. Then one day someone goes “hm, what if the box tops got switched and we’re going about this in the wrong way?” But everyone says “naw, we’re halfway done with all these puzzles and look, we have half a cat here and there, so it can’t be wrong!” But the person who made the wrong top suggestion points out that all of the pictures are similar and some of their pieces have been unnaturally jammed together, so maybe it’s time to stop and look at this switched box top possibility. Some will say “yeah, ok let’s start over and check into this,” while others will say “no, it’s got to be right as is, who would switch the box tops and why?” and others will lose interest in the cat puzzles all together because it’s not fun anymore. And eventually some of the new thinkers will successfully find the right box top and put together a puzzle and say “see?” And that will convince a few, but others will say “that may be true of that one puzzle, but I’m sure it couldn’t be true of ALL the puzzles” and they will continue on. Some petty fights will break out and more people will leave the community because it’s no longer fun. But over time those still left will finally see that with a little patience,the puzzles all are solvable.

And then we find out the mysterious someone was the landlord and what they really wanted was to get rid of a bunch of the randos living in their house.

ah

remember when

I think people have said Keleigh knew Travis. She works at the same agency he signed with last May.

you mean CAA, right? i know miles is signed with them but idk about keleigh

i’m not sure if keleigh knew travis before or not but it would make sense if her and miles have been at chiefs games a lot in the past (and i think they have..?) and if chiefs players do meet and greets with the famous people who come to games etc

CAA wouldn’t exactly be an indicator of a relationship though.. so many people are signed to CAA

Whenever I listen to Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me, I imagine Taylor T-posing menacingly as she flies through the air whenever she sings "I levitate down your street" and I've done it since the very first listen to the song, I can't help it 😭

i keep thinking of dark willow from buffy 😭

[9w1ft]

thought i’d reblog this for anon :)

just curious, did any of taylor or karlie’s circle know travis before his and taylor’s public relationship hard-launched? has he bearded before? im just not sure why him of all people, it seems very random lol. not that joe wasnt… but in my opinion it seems like joe could be queer so the idea of that relationship not being so real is easier to grasp - her and joe’s timeline also did not make sense on top of all that. but with travis i just feel more skeptical. im too lazy to scroll far so im also not sure if this has been addressed already, sorry in advance

before he and taylor met, back in may 2022, travis went to a party held at karlie’s miami mansion that W magazine and Dior were throwing for lewis hamilton. 😝 so there’s that!!

i don’t really have an opinion on the nature of the bearding. could be any number of reasons. but thinking simply, he and his family do a lot of commercial spots and promo deals with brands so, it could just as easily be a lucrative business opportunity for him. back in the 2010’s he did a The Bachelor style reality tv show (Catching Kelce) but things didn’t last with the winner. idk, he just seems like one for the hustle. plus with athletes, you’re not young forever. its a profession where at some point you aim to transition your career into avenues off the field, and dating taylor could be an extra launchpad for any number of ventures, both for him and his recently retired older brother too (i think he retired for good, right?)

when looking at the album promo photos, and the fortnight video, she only has her single ear piercings - which can put a timeline of when she at least shot the video and probably had the visual concept for the album. i’m not sure of the exact timeframe of when she added her piercings, but wasn’t it sometime around the start to tk?

i understand songs can be added last minute, etc. but what’s the lead time for vinyls and cds? which lead me to think about if she already had her songs written/recorded and needed to find a suitable, public muse… just thoughts.

interesting points!! i’d have to think about it more. anyone have ideas?

in terms of vinyls i’m inclined to say planning it out upwards of half a year in advance but does anyone have definitive information on how long it would take taylor to press her vinyls? because i have seen info saying it takes several months but i also think that a short run or regular sized order would take less time than however long it must take taylor to print all of hers. then there’s the material shortage to take into account. also random but im not too sure at what point in the process you need to put them in the sleeves or at what point you would need them ready for shipment

here’s something about it on the grammys website

look what i found when scrolling my phone 😆

here it is ↑

so december 6th? ish?

here’s the song ↓

Hey does anyone recall the exact date when Karlie was listening to that song Brutus by The Buttress, you know the song that has "Or am I just wishing I could be like you? That the people would see me, too, as a poet and not just the muse" as lyrics, I know it was before Taylor announced TTPD but I just can't remember if it happened in January or if it happened in December or November of last year 🙈

i’ve been thinking about this constantly but it’s taking me time to find a post i reblogged about it.

anybody have it?

Do you think this vengeful, never leave well enough alone energy from Taylor ever gets to Karlie? Do you think Karlie ever tries to talk Taylor down a cliff so to say?
