I just absolutely LOVE how their relationship went from this:
Taylor Swift mocking/ calling out Harry styles in 2013 VMAs
To
Grammys 2023 - biggest supporter
1) Standing during his entire award speech as the hecklers yelled “Beyoncé”
2) Dancing during his Grammy performance , not giving shits despite knowing the media attraction she would get.
She dropped this 👑
3) Taking time to go and socialise with him during one of the breaks
I’m definitely NOT saying how they are lovers or still miss or have a crush on each other. No, and I don’t think any of us will ever have an accurate answer of that , except themselves. By Haylor , I’m stanning their relationship as in their now friendship. Despite all through this, the lovers , breakup, and the entire fiasco getting a lot of attention and being asked about each other during the interviews, they still support each other and aren’t afraid to show it and that’s what I love.
I don’t know if Haylor ship will ever be anything more than platonic again , I’d be one of the happiest shippers if it did, but This, THIS friendship we saw at the Grammys , should last forever so my lil Haylor heart can rest in peace ♥️.
Meanwhile let’s respect their relationship with each other and their partners and let’s not make comments or assumptions about them getting back together.
On 25 August 2013 one direction and Taylor attended the VMAs. when Taylor won for IKYWT she said “thank you to the person who inspired this song cause now I’ve got one of these” harry chewed gum and looked satisfied. When Harry presented an award to Selena and gave their own acceptance speech Taylor smiled and leant forward.
Harry and Taylor texted each other during the show, Selena looked shocked by Harry’s text and Niall made a face. This is referred to in the Delicate video, with Taylor saying in the BTS it was someone she wished she could go home with.
They were later pictured at an after party Liam Payne later told of Harry and Taylor performing purple rain on the piano together later.
Lol, when you pointed out Marilyn Monroe's dress color, it made me think of TS's midnight blue Grammy dress. Wow- 70 years ago, MM entertaining about 100K servicemen in 4 days of 10 shows (about 10K/show). Both ladies maximized their time- TS will be doing 4 day stretches on tour soon. Another thing they had in common- a couple of Kennedy guys (the cousins). [Whoa- Ethel K was only a couple years younger- now 95.] Hmm, Soviet Union/Russia & China vs. United Nations & US- familiar figures.
they are a similar color and sparkly! best believe they're still bejeweled
taylor's done two other great dramatic sparkling dark blues on the red carpet, grammys 2010 and vmas 2013:
also makes me think of this dress marilyn wore for a press conference at the savoy in london for the prince and the showgirl, which was the first feature helmed by marilyn's own production company and such a pioneering move from her. fashion-wisr, the mesh panel was very ahead of its era:
there are some real echoes between them and across time (including judgements leveled at their talents, their femininity, their intelligence, their relationships), luckily enough has changed and circumstances are different and have allowed women/artists like taylor much more freedom, safety, and creative control. certainly not without its heartaches and trials, but we hope for better outcomes for our stars of today. 💙 the ones who came first certainly blazed a trail.
it's SO strange to think of her existing seven decades ago, and embarking on the things she did, having the dreams she had. she's one of those rare people who feels so tangible to me, like if i were to drop into hollywood, she'd be right there around the corner. to repeat something i said earlier: she's not here with us, but she isn't gone.
