Hi there, I hope you don't mind me asking this. As a bit of a context I'm from a different fandom, so everything I knew about Taylor (other than some songs, because let's be honest everyone knows at least one of her songs) was associated with the very obvious PR relationship with my fave. After Folklore and Evermore were released, I got into her music but I really tried to avoid getting involved in fandom stuff. Recently, I started to follow some blogs and it seems to me that the difference between Taylor and her public persona is so jarring (example: when she's in her regular clothes, her walking, etc). Is this a popular opinion in her fandom or am I reading this incorrectly?

PS. She looks very cute *-* in her regular clothes

hey! welcome to this neck of the woods!

oh yeah, i would say this is a popular opinion among gaylors for sure. while you can see her in flannels throughout her career if you pay attention to stuff like clips of her recording songs in the studio, i think that it got more pronounced during the pandemic. her showing that relaxed / natural side of her style more openly. she still turns it on for the paps for sure though.

the LAYERSSS 😭 not only her directly tying "mine" to the "male pov/fictional" story she's been telling about folklore, but ALSO saying that she can relate to the song more than she could when she wrote it?? saying that NOW she can relate to choosing to stay and work through things in a relationship, rather then just leaving?? (Mere weeks after splitting up with her longtime bf) 💜 SHE IS THE BEST THING THATS EVER BEEN MINE 😭😭😭

the domestic fantasy of it all 😭😭😭

The Lover House Burning

I 100% see the lover house burning down as a symbol foretelling another step towards coming out. Just like knocking down the set walls in Lavender Haze. I also see the midnights cover with the lighter as an Easter egg/precursor for that visual.

I always saw the lover house as representing a safe haven hideaway for her and her lover, where they could fully be themselves while keeping their relationship secret. Funnily enough I used to think that because evermore was the last “room” to be filled in the house, in the closet, I thought that she was saying she would stay in the closet “forevermore”. But these new tour visuals and Midnights as a whole, including the lighter picture, are really making me rethink that.

However, I don’t see the house burning as an absolute end point, that means she’s about to announce in plain words her whole truth to the world. I see her coming out process as something like peeling back layers…and in the process, her audience is forced to get more and more accustomed to the the idea, the possibility, the reality that Taylor is gay. It’s like the metaphor about turning up the heat on some slowly. The frog won’t jump out of the pot if the temperature changes gradually.

So many different visuals on this tour suggest she is seeing the path forward in progressive stages. The closet door (solid wood, orange appearing from far away) descending and then turning into a cube made of diamonds (glass closet) and then exploding into rainbow glitter, shows a progression from being fully hidden to glass closeting to fully being out.

Each album is louder, each tour is louder, and now she has her other lesbian and bisexual pop star friends straight up calling her queer in interviews, being very openly gaylor and Kaylor on social media, etc.

The lover house burning seems to symbolize one layer of protection she’s shirking. Maybe the beard, maybe something else.

(The fact that the show ends with the closet door—> glass closet—> rainbow confetti progression, after the house burning, which came after her peeking out of the blinds, etc, also very important. There’s a whole narrative arc!)

Anti-Hero gave us 3 Taylors:

Taylor the performer everyone wants to see in concert

Taylor the Brand everyone is raging at right now

Taylor the Human Woman who wants to be allowed to be normal/her true self

I don’t have anything prolific to say, it’s just an observation that she was spot on that there are 3 distinct people she embodies as one of the most famous people in the world

what's that "i want to believe" UFO kaylor image from?

because.... did it exist.... before snow on the beach?

oh my gosh okay so during rep era, a fan made these pamphlets explaining kaylor and iirc actually handed them out at her rep tour concert!! the bravery. so it’s a sort of rep era classic fandom moment.

i couldn’t find the source post right away (someone please add more info if you remember!) but if you google image search for “kaylor i want to believe pamphlet” you can find a few images from the pamphlet. here are a few pages that i found:
