pics from my SNT show in OKC 2011 (i think oct 15?) i love these pics i actually just recently found them and i genuinely thought the show i went to just wasn’t documented but now i can see my memories of it w these pictures! it was magical
1.Betty: Writing a song about yearning for a woman is such a hetrosexual thing to do.
2. Marron: Yes because most straight men have scarlet lips.
3.Wonderland: It’s a complete coincidence that Diana had her wonderland tattoo removed right after this song was released.
4.The Man: Because most straight women wish they could brag about getting bitches and models.
5.Don’t Blame Me: I don’t know what you're talking about being in a straight relationship is totally falling from grace.
6.Hits Different: Because wanting to melt another girl's world is extremely straight.
7.Dress: Wanting to date your best friend is such hetrosexual behavior right? Right?
8.Gorgeous: Because it makes total sense why it would be worse for a man to not have a girlfriend than to be single.
9.Now That We Don’t Talk: Because it’s completely logical for “Truth is I can’t pretend it’s platonic it’s just ended” to be written by a straight woman about a straight man.
10.Daylight: “I used to think love would be black and white but it’s golden.” is such a straight lyric to write.
11.I Know Places: Because every straight person has to worry about people finding out about their relationship with their partner.
12.End Game: Because her being in a relationship with a man no ones ever heard of would be a big conversation.
13.Illicit Affairs: Again having to hide a relationship is such hetrosexual behavior.
14.Question: Because a hetrosexual relationship is totally going against gender norms and is not at all considered suitable and right
15.Ours: Because most hetrosexual couples have to deal with people disapproving of their relationship.
16.How You Get The Girl: Because most straight women are extremely familiar with how to get the girl.
17.Out Of The Woods: “The rest of the world was black and white but we were in screaming color” is such a straight lyric you guys.
18.All Of The Girls You Loved Before: Because “all of the girls you’ve loved before made you the one I’ve fallen for” makes total grammatical sense for it to be about a man.
19.Glitch: Because it’s so common for a straight relationship to start off as them supposed to be just friends.
20.The Very First Night: Because there is no reason as to why “they don’t know how much I miss you” breaks the whole flow of the song.
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 CAUSE HOW THE FUCK DO PEOPLE SEE THIS AS “Normal bestie behaviour” BE SO FUCKIN FR RN
*’You Are In Love’ playing in the background* AND THE NEXT SHOT IS A POLAROID OF KAYLOR?!!
Let’s take a look at the ‘You Are In Love’ lyrics shall we?
“You’re my best friend” FUCKING COME ONNNN
Not to mention THIS video (there is more) of Taylor clearly saying “She” whilst singing this song during a show.
Fun fact about this performance: People hear her say ‘She’ insted of ‘He’ and once she had finished the song, the whole stadium was chanting “KAYLOR! KAYLOR! KAYLOR!”
And Taylor had a massive smile on her face. Not to mention that the camera’s for the Jumbotron literally zoomed into a Kaylor sign.
