Can we bring back the discussion of how Karlie is literally in the ME! MV ????
This random "man" is the only person falling from the sky that gets a whole close up for seemingly no reason and "he" is not credited ANYWHERE.
This is literally Karlie Kloss in disguise

Her features may have been altered, but the position of her features were not!

Like it's so obvious???? It is layers of makeup and prosthetics. In general you can tell that's not even a man + the hair is a dead giveaway that it's a disguise. And not a good one bcuz the intention WAS to be obvious

And then Taylor literally disguises herself as a man in The Man just to drive the point btw
It's the prosthetic nose and chin + the changed eyebrows and wig in BOTH for me.

I woke up and chose violence so lemme give my thoughts on Performance Artlor:
I believe one of the points of the current PR spectacle is how much people will happily eat up TNT because it’s being posited as this perfect relationship based on appearances alone.
Taylor very often clothes herself in his team, his color, his numbers. And while he’s worn eggs, we don’t see consistent support of her career. The media claims he knows every lyric. The only song he seems to care about is the bearding one and the one people think is about him and the one she re-wrote a line in to refer to him (but Scott Swift has to move him onto his mark for his big moment)
We hear promises of him throwing big parties for her, celebrating her, “he’s going to spend the whole Europe leg with her,” only for him to spend most of it drunk with his coworkers, and when he is in the same place as Taylor he spends most of his time with Ross.
The Eras Tour party. A wrap party for that performance.
Him coming on stage in the most problematic role she could place him in, and the fans RECONTEXTUALIZING THAT SCENE to be romantic, instead of wondering if Taylor is trying to convey something about TNT
Her accepting awards for her work, work that she poured so much blood, sweat and tears into… and getting some cheers…
Her saying… “my boyfriend Travis” and the room erupting with excitement…
So many of her fans being glad Eras was done so now she can be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen or on the sidelines…
If you cannot see Taylor’s validation in her own achievement, career, friends and family, and you can only see validation when she’s accepting THE BARE MINIMUM from this AGGRESSIVELY MEDIOCRE MAN…
… how can you demand better for yourself?
If you cheer when your favorite pop star subjugates herself and submits herself to a man, are you going to demand ANYTHING for yourself?
I believe the story she’s telling is a tale of how many EXCEPTIONAL women get eclipsed by the most mediocre, low effort of men….
And how much media and what we see in the media impacts our own beliefs about our own lives and happiness.
And because of that I also believe it’s an attempt to impart media literacy on people; to teach us to pay more attention when media narratives don’t add up with the evidence we’re seeing.

The Shiny Abs being cut off is so rude
Y’all ever just casually thinking about the Best Best Friends video and how Karlie admitted that she’s was the reason Taylor moved to New York instead of moving across the ocean to London
Karlie: She lives in Nashville, L.A. and New York, and she almost moved to London and I said ‘nope not happening’ and now she lives in New York.
This whole video is one of the gayest things I’ve ever seen and I say that as a transgender queer man who literally goes out of his way to watch the gayest things out there.

The 'Lost' Midnights Aesthetic & Big Taylor
When Taylor Swift announced her surprise album Midnights to the world, she was quite literally covered in glittering jewels.
But when the promotional materials for Midnights were posted that night, everyone was really surprised by the aesthetic it seemed to have. No one could guess a genre. We thought it would be gut wrenching and 70s inspired, based on the photos and the blurb about her 13 sleepless nights.
We were fully prepared for our hearts to be ripped out of our chests, and hear a Taylor that was so incredibly raw and tragic. Gaylors specifically ere intrigued by the line
“We twist in our self-made cages and pray that we aren’t - right this minute - about to make some fateful life-altering mistake”
We wondered if she was about to blatantly tell the world what we had seen for years.
But when the album came out, people were shocked for a more synth, upbeat pop album. When she went to events she was star studded (literally) and glammed out. Or “bejeweled” you could say.
At first, people were surprised by the switch up. Where was the brooding darkness? Where was the 70s ballads? We tried to understand why these two sides didn’t seem to match up. As if the aesthetic of the promotion and the album itself were disconnected.
In comes the anti hero music video.
youtube
Suddenly, we see the two aesthetics side by side. Telling us that these two Taylors exist simultaneously.
This music video happens to also be where we are introduced to big Taylor. While she’s dressed a lot like the 70s version of Taylor above, but we know they are not the same Taylor because the video shows us so.
Big Taylor is the elephant in the room. She’s the one that makes Taylor too big to hang out…some think it’s because she’s “too famous” but I argue it is more about how she feels about herself. About how she feels like she is too big… takes up too much space.. too loud and too awkward. Something that she had to actively suppress about herself to get people to like her.
So why does big Taylor break my heart?? So many reasons!
The tour visuals truly show what big Taylor represents… it’s her. The real her. Not the sparkly Taylor that’s on stage, but the one who is so frustrated and over it and wants to tear down the city.
In the visual (which is played during Anti-Hero), big Taylor stands up and starts screaming and stomping her feet.
She’s massive and in any other situation, she would be the focus of the crowd… but she’s not… small glittery Taylor is. Even in TikTok videos, you can see the camera pan away from big Taylor.
Sparkly Taylor is the persona. We refer to her at Taylor™. She is the one performing I Can Do it With a Broken Heart. She’s the one who exists to survive in this profession.
And even when she shows us more of her… the duller, neutral, scared, sad her… all anyone cares about is the guitar smashing sparkles.
To the point where now, the sparkles and bejeweled Taylor is what everyone sees midnights as…
In fact, I think that everyone was so distracted by the sparkles, they forgot the prompt behind the album… Her 13 sleepless nights. There are meanings to these songs that are not immediately obvious. But everyone just wants the sparkles.
Did you forget about this Midnights Aesthetic? Let me know your thoughts!
This post is also available on Twitter, Substack, & Bluesky.
