If you haven’t seen the doc about Diane von Furstenberg: Woman in Charge on Netflix it’s defo worth a watch! She’s Bi and married two gay men. Her last/current marriage isn’t physical and they don’t live together. Karlie’s in it! For reference …

She was wearing a Panther necklace....

Karlie's model nickname is The Panther

This is quite literally

"Wear you like a necklace"

AGAIN everything points to her playing So It Goes tomorrow 13 days before the 10 year Kissgate anniversary

Getaway Car x August x Other Side of the Door Mashup Analysis

I was inspired by @itallpointsbacktome on tiktok to dig deeper into this mashup from 2/17 and this is what I've come up with:

We start with Getaway Car, and the fact that August is in here makes me think of the Getaway car that August was driving (James get in let's drive). From this we can infer that it's James that is "riding in a getaway car" aka Taylor, who is singing from her own perspective if we look at getaway car on its own. This places her as James definitively.

We also have the line "think about the place where you first met me" which also connects to, "meet me behind the mall." Where August and James would meet up. James is saying, in basic terms, "are you surprised I'm leaving you for someone else? I left someone else to be with you, we had sketchy meetings behind the mall, we drove off in a getaway car, I'm no example of a stand-up guy." He puts the blame on August as SHE "should have known" he would do this to her.

Imagine these songs as a conversation between them all, it would play out like this:

James to August: Getaway Car

August to James: August

James to Betty: Betty

Betty to James: Cardigan// Other Side of the Door.

OSOTD also has lyrical parallels to Getaway Car;

"the ties were black, the lies were white"

"the conversation with the little white lies"

And: "until I switched to the Other Side" -self explanatory.

The line "3 of us is a sideshow" also implies a love triangle happening between the characters.

The OSOTD bridge also has references to August, the person -"is she worth this mess?" "After everything and that little black dress (mistress?)"

The overall picture makes James look a lot worse than we suspected from the questionable lines in Betty, and I'm not 100% sure on any real-life muses involved in this scenario but I do feel we've gained more backstory on the folklore triangle from this mashup.

Hello!

I used to be addicted to Tumblr in high school, it was my safe space, and now as a full ass adult I think it's going to be my safe space again so I wanted to reintroduce myself.

My name is Madison/Madi, 27, my pronouns are She/Her, I am Bisexual and married to my amazing NB partner Sasha (he/she/they).

I am a writer and honestly might return to fanfic writing to allow myself and others a way to escape.

Disclaimer//On this blog you may see a lot of posts from years ago that involve people that have since turned out to be... Not good. I apologize for this and don't want anyone to think I STILL support them and I'll try to remove certain things as I see them. This includes Colleen ballinger, Shane Dawson, and JKR. I couldn't possibly delete every single Harry Potter post I've made but anything that might reference her in any positive way is no longer my opinion of her. As far as YouTubers, I was a teen and didn't do my research and know better now.

I'm looking forward to reviving this space and can't wait to meet new friends and form a healthy community here!

Be prepared for Gaylor theories and lyrical analysis galore 😂 I was too afraid to make tiktoks as my family would see me being a Gaylor on main but here we are!

Dual Taylor Theory- Lavender Haze/Midnight Rain Outfit Change

If you need context on the Dual-Taylor theory, I will link that here (x)

The following is under the Gaylor assumption so keep that in mind, I won't be trying to justify that part in this post.

SO, I believe the outfit change during the midnights set is very intentional- this is not something she does any other time. The songs being performed- Lavender Haze and Midnight Rain are a stark contrast of both Taylors individually. Lavender Haze is taylor the person, who feels safe and comfortable in her Lavender relationships while she gets to do as she pleases behind the scenes. Brand Taylor continues the "conversation" between the two by coming out and singing Midnight Rain, a song about how Taylor the person "wanted it comfortable//wanted a bride//family" etc. while she chose to pursue fame and make a name for herself.

I'm making this in somewhat of a rush, there are contradictions and holes but if anyone else wants to play with this idea feel free!

Further lyrical analysis below the cut

I've been under scrutiny You handle it beautifully All this shit is new to me

This is Person Taylor addressing Brand Taylor (BT), giving the media handling over to her.

I feel the lavender haze creepin' up on me Surreal, I'm damned if I do give a damn what people say No deal, the 1950s shit they want from me I just wanna stay in that lavender haze

Person Taylor does not want to conform, doesn't want to be public either, just live a happy queer life with her privacy.

Talk your talk and go viral I just need this love spiral Get it off your chest- Person Taylor Get it off my desk -Brand Taylor

Again addressing BT, "do what you need to do and I'm going to do what I need to do"

and a line that feels like speaking to each other here-

"Maybe you should get this off your chest, let go of the expectations so I can be free"

"Get it off my desk // not happening we're thriving in our career" etc.

Now moving to Midnight Rain:

he wanted it comfortable I wanted that pain He wanted a bride I was making my own name Chasing that fame He stayed the same All of me changed like midnight

PT wanted a normal quiet queer life, BT wanted the fame and chaos and success, but it came at the cost of personal relationships and her reputation.

My town was a wasteland Full of cages, full of fences Pageant queens and big pretenders But for some, it was paradise

The life of being a celebrity, full of "big pretenders" like herself. Still, many people idolize this life, including her younger self who wanted this more than anything.

My boy was a montage A slow-motion, love potion Jumping off things in the ocean I broke his heart 'cause he was nice

This reminds me a lot of the lover era, "jumping into pools from balconies" "love potion" and the very sad-looking aesthetic change that followed.

ie: this sad af performance

She broke her own heart because it didn't fit her image to be openly queer.

It came like a postcard Picture perfect, shiny family Holiday, peppermint candy But for him it's every day

So I peered through a window A deep portal, time travel All the love we unravel And the life I gave away

Comparing the life PT has in private with family and loved ones (and maybe a lost female muse) to what she gave away when she continued the BT image.

I guess sometimes we all get Just what we wanted, just what we wanted

Feeling heavily what she wanted- for better of worse. She has her success, but not the life she wanted to live.

And he never thinks of me Except when I'm on TV

BT only exists when on stage/public eye, etc. PT tries to separate herself from this persona as much as she can.

I guess sometimes we all get Some kind of haunted, some kind of haunted And I never think of him Except on midnights like this (midnights like this)

BT tries to forget PT exists while performing and putting on the show, but it can't be obviously very difficult and painful to play the part.

Starting LH with "Meet me at Midnight" and ending Midnight Rain with thinking of PT "on Midnights like this" is also very telling.

Again, a lot of holes here, not extremely thorough in examples but please let me know if you have any ideas that would make this theory more solid or if you think it holds any validity. Just something that's been on my mind!
