how are you feeling about there being no rep tv announcement?
i also clowned a bit but it didn't matter if she did or she didn't announce it because i'm not going to hold her to a third album announcement this year, we've had more than enough things from her in the past year
i am feeling pretty sad that some swifties on here are making those who thought an announcement was coming feel bad for theorising, the clowning is all a bit of fun. I haven't seen anyone be genuinely upset that it hasn't been announced, although the crowd chanting reputation at the show was not okay
hi anon!
honestly, i'm not surprised there was no announcement, i wasn't even waiting for one (although there is always this 1% of clown inside of me who thinks something is coming lol). theorising is fun! we all do that. clowning is also fun, damn, we are swifties after all. what is not ok it's demanding another album from her, so i agree with you, chanting at the eras tour was so disrespectful. i'm not on tiktok but i saw some theories and let me just tell you, some of them were... insane. would it be fun if she announced it tonight? of course. but she didn't and it's fine. if you're not upset or mad at her for it, you shouldn't feel sad because of what they say! well, at least i don't want you to feel sad and honestly, if anyone makes you feel bad for little silly harmless theories, fuck them. you didn't demand another album from her, you were just having fun and there's a huge difference between those two options.

Jason Derulo “It Girl” 8/9/2011
I've been looking under rocks and breaking locks
->”I dream of cracking locks” Guilty as sin
Just tryna find ya
I've been like a maniac, insomniac
->”Este’s been losing sleep”
Five steps behind ya
->”It’s like I’m taking 5 steps forward and 10 steps back”
Tell them other girls, they can hit the exit, check please
'Cause I finally found the girl of my dreams
->”I’m the girl of his American Dreams” Fresh Out the Slammer
Much more than a Grammy Award
->Eminem has 15 Grammy Awards, Taylor has 14 Grammys, and Beyoncé has the most Grammy awards in history with a total of 32. It’s crazy that she has more than her husband Jay Z who has 24 but has not yet been inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Why are we memorializing music when the artists careers are so close to being over? Why not celebrate them when they are in their prime, they would draw a better crowd and a younger demographic as well. Not to mention the rules of induction are stupid, the rules are in place so not everyone has a chance to succeed and that is just mean.
-> Eminem has recently teased the word Grandma in one of his tweets. The 2025 Grammy nominations just rolled out
-> Fall track 10 on his 10th studio album (this single was also released on9/4/2018, 4 days after the album released.)
“Revenge is the best medicine
Increase the dose, from least to most
Then tell the Grammys to go and fuck themselves”
****Better Than Revenge 10/25/2010 3rd album 10th track. ->played 1x on the Eras Tour show #60 N3/3 Buenos Aires 11/12/2023.
**310 area code is for Los Angeles County, California. Including Carson, Compton, Hawthorne, Inglewood, Redondo Beach, Santa Monica, Torrance, West Los Angeles, South Bay, and Santa Catalina Island. The 310 area code was created in 1992 when it was split from the 213 area code. In 1997, Eastern Los Angeles County and Long Beach were split from the 310 area code to form the 562 area code
That's how much you mean to me
You can be my it girl, baby, you the shit, girl
Loving you could be a crime
Crazy how we fit, girl, this is it, girl
Give me 25 to life
->”25 to life” Eminem track 12 on his 7th studio album.
I just wanna rock all night long
And put you in the middle of my spotlight
You could be my it girl, you're my biggest hit, girl
Let me play it loud, let me play it loud like
Can't seem to stop you from running, running
->The Bolter
Through my, through my mind, mind
Just keep it coming, coming
'Til I make you mine, mine
->”you are the best thing that has ever been mine”
You've got that something, something I wanna be with, girl (wanna be with, girl)
You're my greatest hit, girl (you're my greatest hit, girl)
->Eminems Greatest Hits album was Curtain Call: The Hits which was released on 12/6/2005, When I’m Gone was released as a single this day as well.
->Is Taylor about to drop a greatest hits album? I feel like with how she talked about All Too Well with how the lyrics kept pouring out was the start of what we know of Woodvale. But we are all waiting and being teased for Rep TV, what if it’s actually a combination between Taylor Swift and her Reputation, which is actually her Redemption. With all of her mashups and lyric changes throughout the duration of the Eras Tour she has enough “new” music to put out a couple albums of just her greatest hits mashed up and all rolled into one.
Another word for Redemption is Recovery. Eminems 7th studio album, while her 7th album was Lover. Track 12 on Lover was “Soon You’ll Get Better” ft the Chicks. She is essentially saying her lover will get better soon, but she is the one taking a miracle move on drug in Fortnight. I still stand by my opinion that thanK you aIMee is about America. Eminem’s 12th studio album was TDOSS, which is not the death of him. It the death of who you wanted him to be. He might be ready to be himself, but you don’t get a say in that, only he does.
*12/6 mirrored makes 621 which is the area code expected to be active starting January 23, 2025 (1..2..3) in Houston, Texas. The 621 area code will cover the same geographic area as the existing 281, 346, 713, and 832 area codes. This includes Houston and surrounding communities like Baytown, League City, Missouri City, Pasadena, Pearland, Sugar Land, and The Woodlands. The 621 area code was created to temporarily accommodate the growing population in the Houston area. The PUCT estimates that the existing area codes will run out of phone numbers by the end of 2025
Just say this is it, girl
Hey, baby
Don't you know you're mine, girl? (It girl)
->Clara Bow was also an It Girl.. Clara Bow # in the alphabet makes that 3..2.. and thats where exile ends right? And if above is the connection to TX.. well Arlington is 4 hr and 23 minutes to Houston via I-35E S and 1-45 S making it 269.9 miles.
*4/23/2023 was show #13 in Houston, TX. The SS were Begin Again (Red 4th album 16th track) and Cold As You (Taylor Swift 1st album 5th track) the first letter to the first word of each album title is BC which is 23 which is 32 backwards which is what the exile sea shell pocket watch said.. we never got the 1. Also the album titles first letters are RT. (1920 corresponding # to letter)
“But we were something, don't you think so?
Roaring 20s, tossing pennies in the pool
And if my wishes came true
It would've been you
In my defense, I have none
For never leaving well enough alone
But it would've been fun
If you would've been the one”
^ lyrics from “The 1”
*Killeen, TX is 3hr and 10 minutes to Houston (188.8 miles) vis St Highway 36 (9) N and US-290 (11) E There were 3 versions of her “10th” album.
***Killeen Lodge #1125 Bell County, District #48 (that is 12, hunger games reference? District 3 had the main industry as technology and people manufactured televisions, computers, and other electronics.. just like our world today. ) with meetings on 3rd Thurs, this year the 3rd Thursday is 11/21
*I was today years old when I found out that the Panem districts have “present day locations…” every part of this world is scripted, so the New Romantics are writing the B-Sides, the deep cuts that no one listens to, and writing the books that get banned for being “too out of the box” because it is dangerous to think that way. The goal isn’t to wake everyone up, it’s to wake enough up people that they can start the revolution.

☆ 😌😌😌 i was in LA for the eras tour 😌😌😌 and spent some time at the hotel where the delicate mv was filmed. on my way out i noticed that the elevator hall taylor jumps out of has an awning with a huge eye on it. which is amazing because if you remember, the music video was at the time called a copycat version of an ad that (incidentally) margaret qualley was in, where she jumps through a huge eye
- i reminisced on something eye theory related that liz did in lover era
- we also reshared about the who cares music video from lover era
★ amid the chaos and amazingness of 🎉🎉karlie appearing at eras tour🎉🎉, 1989 TV was announced and the album cover was revealed, showing taylor with a little whisped x of hair over her right side eye
taylor did the eye theory rep photo hands over phase eyes between fingers pose that night on eras tour on karlie’s birthday during the champagne problems applause which was amazing
she also did the fearless heart hands over eye pose during the fearless set

★ there was eye theory adjacent merch available at the grammy museum exhibit in LA!
★ looking back on the LA concert week i realized that not only had my seats been just a section away from where karlie’s seats would be, but that, equipped with my big eyeball sign, karlie and i had in a sense formed an eye theory optical moment 😆 which was so satisfying because it was such a community moment 😭 and it made the mysterious anon i received earlier that week all the more funny
- we reminisced over the puzzle piece moment in the best best friends video
★🧿★ taylor was seen wearing the evil eye bracelet identifiably for the first time (we later figured out she wore the bracelet for the first time on 8/2) which led me on a quest to identify it as if my life depended on it. and then it was. taylor was wearing evil eye jewelry 😭😭

- taylor wore a nazar eye -esque vintage onyx and diamond ring to the VMA’s which is like, sure, maybe it’s just a couple of differently colored circles, *but*, no soon after talking about how it kinda looked like an eye, she broke the ring and the whole gemstone part fell off 🤣

★🧿★ taylor was seen wearing the evil eye bracelet yet AGAIN!
- (this is just a random funny that made me snort because it sums up the predicament that has been my life but kimby tweeted and deleted something and by the time i tapped through to twitter the “this post cannot be found” graphic was being displayed, and it was a graphic of a one eyed face 🥴)
- we discussed the question of to what extent has taylor potentially replaced eyes in images over the years
★🧿★ next taylor was seen out wearing an evil eye NECKLACE. you mean to tell me it wasn’t just one piece?! i was a shambles.
OCTOBER
★🧿★ then she wore the evil eye bracelet and necklace at the same time
☆ i discussed the original evil eye ring from rep era and the significance of her wearing evil eye jewelry anew

Tumblr media Tumblr media
i’m over the link limit again?!? 🤣
alright then just a handful more links to add to december… hold on i’ll get those added in a bit..
alright all that’s left now is to hit post and
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
*record scratch*
Tumblr media
oh wait, what? whats that? i can't reblog with more content on the main post? it’s technically too big?!
oh well well well then okay. hey :leans in close: did i… ever crash your app with the op post? i wanted to apologize for that. truly sorry. the truth is, the original post also crashes my app! wild! yes, well, as big of a fan of push media as i am i’m going to have to break away from the original post to get the job done this year but if you’re new here and don’t know about the eye theory please for the love of god click the below link to read through the original. it’s required reading.
(click for the op)
yes ok. welcome back! did i make you dizzy? jeepers my eyes do hurt, just after putting together this update! but i come bearing gifts…! frankincense, myrrh, gold, and a *plump* 2021 eye theory update for the remaining bakers dozen or so of us left hanging in this manger… because apparently that’s just the way things will be 😘 again, i’m far past proving this thing and more into sharing, yeah, sharing the fun memories over the past year living with this theory so that’s what i’ll do. and this requires more than the ten picture limit so in lieu of that i will be updating only once but with links to each finding. my demarcation is the same as last year:
Tumblr media
so without further ado, here comes our…
2021 year in review
JANUARY
★ kimby posting the eye mirror thing at the beginning of the year (which i posted about at the end of the last update)
★karlie liked a tweet (a rarity at the time) from henry hall promoting his new album… that had an eye and the number 13 on the album cover.
-we found another great photo match example
☆ we noticed something up with a new carolina herrera ad that ended up showing up again later in the year
☆ we noticed taylor covering her eye during rep tour while singing even in my worst lies you saw the truth in me
-we noticed an oft forgotten appearance of the evil eye ring in the rep promo material, photos of her on the beach
FEBRUARY
☆ we found a potential easter egg in the end game mv
★ one of the lyric videos for fearless TV had a fun synching moment ..that taylor then put in her instagram stories
★ taylor posted a bleachella era pic of her and the haim sisters that had the sisters covering eyes with their hoodies, and then honest to god this is just one of those thing i can’t quite conscionably explain but there are two boxes of pizzas being held and the cheese only pizza looks like the “blank” of the two pizzas and it’s to the right of the picture
★ kayda and kai did some eye funny business
MARCH
★ the grammys… so, taylor’s performance included choreography that covers her right side eye along with the line “guess i should have known from the look on your face” and i know this is one of the things people particularly do not like but i’m such a sucker for prop comedy: i think the shape of the lean-to cabin itself is the shape of an eye and also the belted waist part of her dress looks like an eye, i said what i said
-and this can’t help but feel like chance, but, we got this red carpet press photo of her grammy covering her eye
-something also feeling serendipitous, karlie got papped by some eye graffiti
APRIL
-The Vault reveal left me wanting to get my eyes checked 😂
☆ we realized one could make the argument that there’s a eye isolated by the mask on her male counterpart in willow, and that the mask has a drooping daisy embroidered on it
-i got the chance to talk a little bit more about my thoughts on the editing that went on with the mert and marcus rep photoshoot photos, and my thoughts on computer graphic manipulation as it relates to other things, in particular lead time
★ taylor seemed to have more fun with synching up the fearless tv clip to music 🙈
★ taylor’s mother’s day merch included a postcard with a daisy and the lyric “i love you for giving me your eyes”
MAY
-not for nothing, austin posted a picture of him at the Oculus building in NYC (oculus being a word that means eye, austin being someone who rarely updates his instagram these days)
★ karlie got back in the saddle with posting an eye out of frame
★ some preview photos of karlie’s green adidas collection were released, and they included this amazing shot
and wouldnt ya know it she made it her profile pic after the collection release
JUNE
★ more kayda funny business (i feel like there were a lot more of these but i wasn’t able to keep track)
★ karlie got papped wearing a prada jacket with a print of a one eyed beach babe
-taylor mixed up her words during a thank you speech while accepting an award and said “she helped me to edit my eyes” which i mean i don’t think it was intentional but it certainly made my year 🙈
★ karlie wore this versace blazer that inexplicably has a hole cut out of it to the right?? which was made even more meaningful given the fact that i had been spiraling over the tie with the hole in it in the lwymmd video a few months prior idk 😆
★ the how long do you think it’s gonna last album was announced with an… eye collage… 🙈🙈 and kept the promo coming into july with eye cutout moments like this
JULY
★ then the Renegade music video was released and it was just chock a block with eye manipulation! singled out eyes, taylor covering her right side eye with her hands, with her hair, the eyes on her face cut out and zoomed in on. like, i’m sorry, it’s 2021 and we are really doing this ladies???
-and i came up with a funny (/emotional)
-karlie met with schiaparelli in paris, who had just come out with a collection full of gilded eyes among other body parts
★ karlie blocked an eye for estée lauder —a true pastime— and thus began the formalization of the tradition of me waking up to karlie having posted something ocular to instagram
AUGUST
☆ adam rippon posted a little ode to karlie’s “looking camp right in the eye 👁 ” moment, which normally id just chalk up to it having become a meme but at the same time, bobby berk liked the post and they were both in the yntcd mv, so it’s sorta amusing
★ karlie posts “filed under baking inspo” moodboard which included a pic of a face made of food with one eye 🥴🥴🥴 like i’m sorry, is this not proof of acknowledgement 😆
★ karlie posts a photoset of her in workout clothes and she’s covering the left side eye in a lot of the pics
★ karlie wore some eye-like rain and sunshine earrings from two jewelers that also make custom lover’s eye jewelry
SEPTEMBER
★ taylor covered an eye on the tiktok
-i noticed that each of karlie’s adidas collections had their own moments
-also like this is simply an act of god but somehow taylor and karlie got a photo taken at the 2014 met gala where karlie is standing to the right next to a woman with an eye purse…?
☆we noticed two things about the UPS commercial she did during rep era
★ karlie hid an eye while getting ready for the met gala which was the start to a crazy crazy day here on kaylor tumblr
☆ someone kindly pointed out to me that birch feat. taylor swift just as names of trees goes is also sus 🥴
-we listed up some of the possibly eye theory -aligned taymoji
★ karlie posted a promo clip of her designing her met dress at carolina herrera and it had an eye moment
-taylor has sort of established winks as a Taylor’s Version easter egg gesture so i don’t really count things like this in the grand scheme of things but i can’t help but feel this wink was exaggerated in post which would mean the eye could have been edited, and for that i’ll mention it
-this is just an it’s a small world moment having to do with researching the band of outsiders brand
★ taylor using an eye covered pic of shania twain on her tiktok
★ karlie blocking eyes again in a photoshoot make that two
OCTOBER
✦★✶ karlie went to mert alas’ gin release party in paris I REPEAT she went to the party being held by the guy who took the rep album photoshoot photos aka the guy who took the actual eye theory photo and not only did she get a pic with him, she drank out of the gin glasses that had an eye like pattern cut into them???
★ karlie woke me up again and chose violence
-i forget how i ran into this but it’s this old photoshoot of karlie in a daisy full body suit with her arms and head in the shape of an eye idk lol
★ karlie posted a photoset with some eye blocking moments going on
NOVEMBER
-in a moment of meta, karlie got the chance to post a pic of bert and ernie to her instagram stories as she was also a part of the WSJ innovators issue
☆ taylor’s grammy dresses went on display and the waist fabric looked even more like an eye so sue me!
★ karlie really made it christmas morning every morning 🥴
★ RED TV lyric videos also got a moment
★ the IBYTAM video had us all reeling for plenty of reasons but i made sure to have my fun …kinda cool how it fits though 😂 this stood out to a lot of us and this too
-it’s the little things
-blame it on the vault crest and red dresses but i allowed myself to lean in to the crazy a bit more than usual and tbh i had the best time with it
☆ i had a thought about So It Goes as it relates to rep tour
-The Missing Eye Puzzle Piece it turned out that the missing capital one red bundle puzzle piece was simply missing, and it has been found, **but** i had an amazing couple of weeks imagining the ARG possibilities. oh and i still love that the right side eye is the 11th puzzle piece across, 8 rows down (karlie numbers)
DECEMBER
★ karlie posted again blockin an eye 😂
★ shes so good at finding an opportunity
★ karlie wearing a sweatshirt with an eye on it because why not i guess 🙈
-surely coincidental but i did laugh at where her music choice in this post led me
★ and it turned out the eye glassware at the mert alas gin release party ended up being used in the promo photos for the stuff
★karlie did a ‘comeback’ -esque spread for WSJ and she delivered
-add this to the list of potential cross-media tie in opportunities that surely weren’t intentional but i would point to in terms of what she could potentially do should she want to bring back this level of easter egging for reputation TV
★ waking up again to some uncanny carolina herrera hijinks
★ karlie blocking an eye again 🙈
-i talked a little bit about the evil eye ring making it’s appearances with the angel wing ring
★ like i said, this karlie post waiting for me when i woke up thing, it became a morning ritual
-there was a red tv album print mishap… istg the way i moved (is this what the kids say)
★ taylor blocked an eye in her new years reel
so there you have it, folks! 2021, a kaylor year that had me throwing my hands up and deciding to bend with the wind and roll with the punches… paid dividends?! i included the ephemera (the winks and out of frames) just because i see them as a sustainable avenue for the dreary new parent, but all these aside it still blows my mind how many distinctly significant things happened in conjunction with the theory this year and i hope very very deeply and earnestly that each and every one of you may have had the chance to crack a smile or two as well 😌
its weird… seeing karlie and mert photographed gave me this lavish sense of… coming full circle! but 🥰 who knows what next year will bring. what can i say, as if it was my greco-roman destiny, i know i will always beat the drum for this theory if they will have me. eye can’t help myself!
Tumblr media
have a happy new year🥳

Before folklore came out, I would tell people that liking Taylor Swift was the straightest thing about me. Then folklore, evermore, and Red TV came out. As I saw the queer themes in those albums, I began seeing them in reputation, 1989, Speak Now, Fearless, and debut. The themes have always been there, fluctuating in subtlety but steadily increasing since 1989. So why did I think of Taylor Swift as so quintessentially straight? You guessed it: Compulsory heterosexuality and heteronormativity.
Taylor was supposed to be universally relatable. When she explained her songs, she refrained from using gender-specific language. Us. We. That person. Someone. And people that as “Me. I. A man. That guy I told everyone I was dating.” We were told she dated men, and a woman dating a man = heterosexual. No other options.
Even now, Genius will remove lyric annotations that imply her lyrics might not be about a man. Even with Hits Different, Question…? and Maroon. Taylor says reputation is about Joe and swifties believe her bc “Taylor wouldn’t lie to us!!!” even though there’s so many inconsistencies with the narrative that Rep is about Joe.
To say outright or even imply that Taylor might write songs about women because she likes women is met with scores of comments about how we “shouldn’t speculate on her sexuality!!! she said she’s straight!!! stop being disrespectful!!!!” But Taylor, as she has never said the words “I’m gay” has never said the words “I’m straight.” What she has done is align herself with. LGBTQ artists (YNTCD music video, Phoebe feat., posting support for queer musicians on social media, and, of course, the Pride parade that is her list of openers for the Eras Tour).
If Taylor didn’t people thinking she’s queer, she would’ve thrown in “as a straight woman…” in her speech before performing Delicate at multiple Pride events, when being interviewed about her advocacy during the Lover era, or at literally any point in her adult life.
Writing about women from the male perspective is queer. Her dressing in drag for the Man music video and showing herself in bed with a woman is inherently queer. The way she writes songs about her love interests’ girlfriends is queer. People bend over backwards to justify the gay shit she does, the same thing people have done for centuries with Sappho, Emily Dickinson, Louisa May Alcott, and so many sapphic artists throughout history. Taylor Swift is THE songwriter of our generation. She IS the music industry. But swifties, and hetlors all the more, would rather believe she is stupid and ignorant rather than intentionally using phrases like “hairpin drop,” “lavender haze,” “all the bricks they threw at me,” “you’re the West Village.” When she describes her muses as having scarlet lips, having hair that falls into place like dominos and braids in a pattern, gorgeous, it’s just because she thinks men are really pretty I guess (insert MetGala 2016 Joe photo). When she describes men as toys, playthings, “dudes who give nothing,” she’s being satirical. When she says “weird rumors,” that can’t possibly refer to rumors about marriage, pregnancy, or her having had multiple children during the pandemic. It’s *weird* to say that Taylor is queer. It’s weird and bad and gross. Why? Because people saying this believe being queer is weird, bad, and gross.
But it’s not weird. Being queer is beautiful, a gift. And that gift comes with a world that hates who we are. Of course Taylor is too soft for all it. And I admire her softness, that she continues to write vulnerable music. Midnights (esp 3am Edition and Hits Different) holds her loudest lyrics. She’s never beating the rumors and she doesn’t want to. Even if she never says the words “I’m gay/bi/pan/a lesbian,” the eardrum-shattering volume of her lyrics is more than enough for me.

Thankyou for everything Taylor, I love you so much and I’m so excited for the Lover era 💗😘

Hey T I’m Makayla!! I’m 13 and I’ve loved you since 2009!! My stan song is Come Back... Be Here not only because it’s amazing but because it has helped me through so so so SO much. It’s amazing how you can, with just a song, literally save someone’s life from spiraling downhill. So thank you. Thank you also, for inspiring so many people. Including me! You have inspired me to sing and write songs and songwriting is now a way I have learned to express myself and a way to help me get through the hard times. You have also inspired me to be more of an activist and speak up for what I believe in. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be a proud feminist or be as educated about the LGBTQ+ community!! In conclusion, thank you SO SO SO much for everything you do and just being the beautiful, amazing, inspiring person you are. I love you more than words can express and I can’t wait for August 23rd!!! ps: I really hope we can hug someday 💗
Bessie: @flyawayswift
Hey !! I’m Bessie, I’m 17 and I’m from the UK 🇬🇧!! I love to do Ballet and Tap dancing, but when it comes to Taylor’s music it’s generally just me doing crazy dad-dancing because I cannot stay calm during her songs. There’s aren’t many words which can sum up accurately how much I love Taylor or how grateful I am to have her in my life, but I love her to the moon and back 💛 I’ve been a swiftie for nearly 5 years, and have loved her music since I was 11. I’ve grown up with her as the big sister I never had, and my biggest dream EVER is to give her the biggest hug hehehe 💛💛

alex: @delicateswiftiez137
hi guys! i’m alex and i’m 14 years old. I live in illinois, and i’ve been a fan of taylor ever since I first heard love story and yblwm on the radio as a kid! my stan song is fearless because I love the message it portrays, but recently i’ve been OBESSED with the whole 1989 album because it’s a literal masterpiece! besides taylor related things, one hobby of mine is swimming! i’ve been a swimmer since I was about 2 years old! anyways, I hope you all have the best day! 🧁🌸🦋💗💋
Edith: @twinfiresignsswift
Hi, my name is Edith and I’m a 15 yr old from California! Anything related to cats is my ideal thing. I’m currently the mother of a tabby cat named Jagger who is very shy, grumpy, and introverted just like me, so the two of us get along very well 🥳 both of us are def party poopers. Anyway I enjoy art, especially watercolor! Initially I wanted to become an artist when I grew up, but I realized I would be poor asf, so now I want to major in biology and become some type of zoologist because animals are the best. In 2014, 5th grader me became obsessed with Blank Space and my life immediately changed from that day on. My favorite album is Speak Now because of how magical and well written it is. My 1 brain cell could never manage to write a whole masterpiece like that all by myself. And my stan song is You Are in Love!! It makes my heart go 💕💗💓 I am so incredibly grateful that I got to see Taylor for the first time ever on rep Pasadena night 1. It was the best day of my life :,) I know so many others do not have the same opportunities; I know how they feel, so I try to stay as humble as I can. I would be such a boring and sad person without Taylor and her amazing lyrics. She is such an amazing role model. Thank you for always being there for me, I will love you forever and always, and I am so excited to see what you have in stock❤️
Jess: @jessheartstaylor
hey!! I’m Jess and I’m 14, from the UK!! My stan song is begin again, I love it so much!! IM SO EXCITED FOR LOVER! I can’t wait to see what Taylor has in store for us!! I’m so thankful for Taylor as she’s such an incredible role model and idol to me, her music always cheers me up and she never fails to make me smile!! I love her so much- forever and always!! 💕💞💓💗💖💝
jordan: @fairytaleswift

It has been an honor watching you grow and become the amazing and strong woman you are today. I love you so much taylor... I hope we get to hug soon! 💗🌥🍭🦄🌩🌸🌈💐🦋💗💓🥰💅🏻🌥
Ravae: @vaelovestaytayswift
Hey I’m Ravae!! I’ve loved Taylor for as long as I can remember my sister has listened to her forever so I grew up listening to her!! Taylor inspires me everyday to be a better person and she’s a great role model. Her music helps me through the really rough times but also puts me in a better mood through the good times! I hope to meet you one day! Love you Tay🦋💞🌈💘🥺
Gracie: @inredlipsticks
Hey, Taylor! I’m Gracie and I’m 20 as of June 22nd. I’ve loved you since debut and my favorite album of all time is Fearless. I’ve been fortunate enough to see you four times and hopefully more on the lover tour 💗 along with Taylor, I also love Selena Gomez, Disney, and dogs!! 💗🦋🌸 The four most important things in my life.
Ella: @ellalovesswift
Hey! My name is Ella and I’m 17 years old. I’ve loved Taylor ever since the day my dad thought I needed my own music instead of just listening to his, this was when I was just seven years old and my dad bought me the fearless album and I fell in love with Love Story!! Ever since then I’ve never stopped loving Taylor! Other than her music, I’ve grown up with Taylor and every day she has inspired me to be a better person! My favourite songs are enchanted, better than revenge and dress! I’ve been to the red and reputation tours in Melbourne! Other than Taylor I am a swimmer. I swim a lot and it’s been a part of my life since before Taylor! I hope one day I can hug her and tell her how much she’s impacted my life! I will always stay, love you Tay 💗🦋💓🌸

look what she made me do (more like look what i did for her)
recently there was a contest held in spain where the prize was getting to go to nyc to @taylorswift​‘s fan event next weekend and i, obviously, being the taylor swift fan that i am, entered the competition. it consisted of tweeting a picture accompanied by some text demonstrating “how much you love taylor” and i was like,,, okay i’m gonna go all the way with this, props and all. guess that wasn’t original enough. 
however, because i did put two whole days of crafting and painting and making tshirts and buying stuff, i’d like to try to get taylor to see this? which sounds crazy difficult bcs i don’t even know how tumblr works properly but hey!! worth a try. so here’s the translated text and pictures i took for the contest + some pics showing how i made all the props. 
the first song i ever heard by taylor was love story back in 2009 and although i didn’t want to admit it to myself at the time, i was immediately in love. i listened to it all the time. however it wasn’t until that summer that i really got into her music. it was thanks to my best friend at the time who made me watch the you belong with me music video and i was Amazed and spent the rest of the night listening to more of her songs and wondering to myself why i hadn’t looked her up sooner. this is why the first picture i chose to recreate was a scene from the you belong with me music video, because it’s still to this day very special to me since it’s the song that got me into listening to more of her music. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(i know it looks like i’m 15 i’m actually 21 i Promise)
i remember that christmas my parents got me fearless and the self-titled album and i asked for the platinum album later because it had 5 extra new songs and i Needed to listen to them, obviously. later on, i got my hands on a fearless tour dvd but it was from the us and i could only play it on my laptop rip europe (still no regrets i love that dvd to Death i cry every time)
2010 came along and i was already Really Excited about it. summer 2010 brought mine along with it and i remember mtv became a public channel in spain then and they had a few months where they were just testing it or sth and they just played music videos on repeat and for a while mine was one of them and i got so excited every time i saw it bcs my baby was on tv!!! i knew that music video by heart. that is why i decided to recreate the mine music video, it reminds me of a great, happier and more wholesome time in my life and it has a very special place in my heart.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(i hate my face why am i doing this)
i remember when it was close to the speak now release date and i asked my dad to go to my closest city’s music shop to order my copy of the album (they were always late anyway). then on a friday my dad picked me up from high school and brought me to my city to pick up the album before lunch. i remember so vividly when i opened the album and i got so excited about reading the prologue and learning what speak now or forever hold your peace meant (i’m obviously not a native speaker of english but i’ve always been fascinated by language and i’m currently about to finish my english degree). that same afternoon i put it in the car and i fell in love with every song. to this day it’s still my favourite album. 
in 2011 she came to Madrid on tour so i asked my parents to Please take me even though i live in barcelona. they couldn’t come with me and i was still a minor so there was no way for me to see her. i still remember that march 19th, crying my eyes out because i couldn’t be there. i hated the fact i couldn’t be there even more when i got the tour dvd and it became my favourite concert without having been there. 
It was 2012 when she made a liveshow announcing the next album being called Red and the release date and she played some songs for us and it was So Nice. i have to confess I was a bit scared bcs the sound was a bit different from speak now, especially wanegbt and ikywt but no!!! my girl doesn’t disappoint and the album was a masterpiece and i loved it. as always i ordered it in my city’s music store and luckily for me i was studying in the same city this time so during our twenty minute recess a friend and i went to the store every day for a week to check if they already had the album (talk about doing exercise). i was so hyped when i finally got it!!! i couldn’t choose just one favourite moment from this era so i just recreated a promotional picture for RED.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
she did another tour with RED which didn’t include spain so seeing her was again not an option since i was still a minor and my parents didn’t want to travel so far for a concert. i was so sad and i promised myself next time i’d do whatever it took to see her live. the good thing about this tour was me discovering ed sheeran who is now my favourite male artist (thanks taylor ily)
in 2014 i started my first year of university, i chose to study english studies because i was good at english in school (that’s probably thanks to taylor in a way, i learned a lot from her songs). i moved close to barcelona for uni and started living with other students near campus. that Big Change in my life was accompanied with 1989 coming out and this was the first time i could actually have the album the same day it came out!!! i made my roommate come with me to barcelona to get it and she didn’t really get why it was so important to get the album the same day it came out but she still didn’t judge me and i’m so thankful for that. (thanks bea ily)
after the album came out she did her taylurking and even though i hate taking pictures of me especially if you can see my face, (which is why this whole thing is a Big Deal for me, putting pictures of myself out there is not easy), i tried to take pictures with the album and the pictures that came along with it and see if i was lucky enough to get her to see my face. fortunately, i got pictures 1-13 and i decided to take a picture with the 13th polaroid as a wink to her bcs it’s her favourite number. it was around 7pm when i gave up and soon i got a notification of her liking my picture on Instagram and I was like,,, screaming and crying already bcs What The Fuck did taylor alison swift see my face and still like the picture??? I was Dead. then she tweeted it and i just lost it. that meant a Lot to me. that’s why for 1989 i’ve recreated the 13th polaroid included in the album.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
taylor has been with me throughout my teens, during high school and all of university and i’m still here. i got so many memories of her throughout the years: listening to fifteen every year when the school year starts. doing a power point presentation on her even though it was supposed to be about my hobbies bcs listening to her music was practically the only thing i did lmao. listening to enchanted every time i meet an internet friend (some of whom i’ve met because of taylor, others have started listening to her after me insisting to give her a chance for Ages). listening to tied together with a smile when i feel down. reading twilight while listening to our song and the fallen series while listening to haunted. i remember listening to mary’s song (oh my my) for the first time and thinking it was the Purest, Most Beautiful song in the world. dance and sing in the shower with fearless and you belong with me. screaming the lyrics to the other side of the door and tell me why and should’ve said no. listening to breathe every time i have a fall out with someone. tweeting the last kiss lyrics every july 9th at 1:58. drawing a 13 on my hand constantly. listening to ours and falling in love with it, starting to listen to it in the mornings to start the day in a good mood. doing a heart with my hands whenever i go to concerts because that’s what i saw you do on tours (on dvds, sadly). i could go on and on.
i’m still here supporting, forever and always, and Ready for the new album and the new era that’s starting now. since we don’t have much material from this era yet, i’ve decided to recreate the gravestone in the look what you made me do music video and i put some snakes around it (a new symbol for this era) and the albums and dvds i own to symbolize the death of the old taylors as seen in the video.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
it took me So Much Effort and Time to recreate all the pictures (buy the things i needed, make the ybwm tshirt myself with markers, make and paint the snakes, make the polaroid, the gravestone, and find places that more or less resembled the places where the original pictures were taken). i know i’m not a model and it’s not an exact recreation bcs there wasn’t much time to enter the contest but i hope all the details are appreciated and taken into account.
here are some pictures of me making the ybwm
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
here are some pictures of me making the tshirt taylor wears in the polaroid 13 (i didn’t have it so my sister drew me some birds and i put them on a tshirt I had and i wore a long sleeved white sweater underneath) and the making of the polaroid
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
here are some pictures of the snakes and the gravestone
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
after all this effort and time i still couldn’t get to win the contest and meet you in nyc next weekend @taylorswift but i hope you’ll see this and know how much i love you bcs i’m telling you i wouldn’t craft that much for anyone else lmao i usually suck at this. i truly tried my best this time and i’m devastated that even though i tried so hard my hard work didn’t pay off but i hope you come on tour to europe and i get to see you this time around, i’m already saving for the rep tour.
love love love

Sarah @taylovessarah
Tumblr media
About Me:
I'm Sarah. I'm 17 and currently stuck in the teen-almost adult stage right now. I'm from India, I was born in the beautiful state of Kerala aka God's Own Country and now I'm currently in Mumbai for my studies. I'm a pre-med student who's gonna be writing her medical entrance exam next year, looking forward to a career in the medical field where I could dedicate myself into helping people, both physically and emotionally which I've always wished to. I'm a Cat lady who loves cats so much. And also my guilty pleasure is to watch endless episodes of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. I love to write, I'm an old-fashioned girl who still writes in her journals/diaries about my life. Also did I mention I love reading books, a good book is my best friend. I have a thing for 7 just like Taylor has for 13. I'm a Christian and I deeply believe that he can mould me into a tool which he can use to heal people and bring them closer to God.
My Era :
I became a fan in the Debut Era and became a Swiftie later in the End of Debut Era and Start of Fearless Era.
So in 2006 I was 4 years old when I got introduced to Taylor, yes, I was so young. My parents used to go to work so my grandparents were there to take care of me, it's a daily routine for them to listen to local radio to hear the news, it was so monotonous, I felt it so boring, so I changed the radio station, and the next moment I never changed it... Because I loved the sound of the guitar and the angelic voice which I was listening, later I came to know I was listening to Tim McGraw and when they announced her name, all I could grasp was Tay...So at a tender age, whatever I could grasp at that age, listening to the radio I drew pictures, like for Teardrops on my Guitar, I drew a guitar and drew tears like rain, the lyrics which had simple words I learnt the songs.. especially the chorus of A Place In This World, I'll still Remember singing it with my childish voice, I never understood a word but now this song still resonates with me.
And yes, I never saw Taylor because all I knew was her voice, I imagined her as a Angel and I always thought how she would be looking. But that didn't take long because one day my Grandma was switching channels on the TV and I kind of recognised her voice and I asked my grandma not to change the channel, that's the first time I saw her in a Lavender Dress looking like a Princess, yes, I saw you for the first time in Our Song, she was Everything that I imagined.. and that's the first time I read the name Taylor Swift, but the child-like me Screamed it's Tay not Taylor, that's when my grandma made me understand that her Name is Taylor and I call her Tay.. and I still do haha.
So yes, I listened to her songs on the Radio and watched the MVs on TV and one day on September 10, 2008 ( I remember that because of my scribbled papers) I decided to make Taylor my best friend, infact she are my first friend, because I was a lonely soul who never had friends and you were always there to comfort me, and I promised myself I'll stand by her forever and I'll love her so much because back then for a young 6 year old me, the relationship with a best friend was valued the most...and with that I became a Swiftie ...So that's when I became a Swiftie...
Tumblr media
The first ever album I've ever owned of Taylor and also me and Taylor twinning
Rep Era was the Era when I decided to stop hiding behind and watching everytime silently, and made my place as a Swiftie on Social Media. At first, I thought I would be left out and no one would care, but later I've made so many amazing friends. And, through Taylor I have found my best and real friends, who love me as who I am, I'm so blessed to be a part of this Swiftie Family and I wish to meet all of them for real one day.
Lover Era, ah the whole era is so special because as I said earlier, 7 is my lucky number and this is Taylor's 7th Album. Ever since Rep Tour ended I made myself believe that TS7 is my Era and Taylor will finally know that I exist. I got to know that on 16th July 2019, when Taylornation DMed me on Tumblr ( I'm still surprised because I've never understood how to use Tumblr, and I still keep wondering how did Taylor find Me among so many Swifties, I guess only Taylor knows) with a CONFIDENTIAL MESSAGE, and the feeling was just so magical. I was invited to Lover Secret Sessions in London and I felt that things were finally going to Change but due to many unfortunate circumstances, I couldn't go to London. I felt very sad and brokenhearted that day but I still believe that someday I'll meet Taylor and tell her everything in my heart and that moment would be just beautiful and perfect. Then on 14th October here, Taylor liked my post and she officially gave me my first ever Taylor Notice. Also I truly believe she officially recognised my name as "Miss INDIAna and The Desi Princess" and since then, life has never been the same.
Tumblr media
My First Ever Taylor Notice
Song that Inspired Me ( aka my Stan Song) :
So one day Change played on my TV and I loved it so much, and since I was 10, I could understand the lyrics and quite the past few years, it was strengthened me and made me so optimistic in life even if there were hard times and actually saved my life, when I thought to end it all because I was so hopeless, the last thing I did was play my playlist and Change was the first song that came in, and I cried my heart out, believed in every single word Tay sang, and I decided not to end my life and to live with optimism and confidence, Fearlessly no matter what. For me that's the song which saved my life and made me rethink about my decision of ending it all, it was like a new beginning of life for me..It means more than the world to me.
And yes, the day Taylor sang Change at Rep Tour Foxborough 27.07.18, I felt like she sang it for me, because ever since I have joined Tumblr I have been literally requesting her to sing Change, sending her messages (which I thought she'll never see) and you did...I DIED. I literally dreamed about you singing Change at Rep Tour Foxborough because Foxborough holds a special place in my heart because Fearless Tour Foxborough was the first tour I have ever attended Virtually.
My Concert Experience :
Well since Taylor has never come to India, I've never seen her perform for real, but I really hope Lover is the Era for us Indian Swifties and she does come to India so that me and my Indian Swiftie friends could see her for the first time and experience the magic and cherish the memories (fingers crossed)
Even though I've never attended a concert for real, I've been attending her Tours ever since Fearless Tour Foxborough, Virtually, because of my cousin who Skyped it for me to experience it... and I lived every single moment of the two hours and when it ended I cried... because it was her last Fearless Tour and my first... and that started my journey of attending tours virtually via Skype, YouTube and reading updates on my mom's Twitter, now it's my own Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram which still continues my virtual attendance for almost all of them since then.
Message To Taylor :
Thank you so much for just being YOU, thank you so much for everything you've given me so precious and beautiful...Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart, for the past 13 years and Forevermore. Thank you for believing in me when no one else did. Even in my worst times, you saw the best in me and helped me to believe in myself. Thank you for being the Angel who CHANGED my Life Completely.
Wishing your 30th year is full of love, happiness, growth, success, strength, comfort and a lot of beautiful moments, memories and precious bonds to Cherish. You inspire infinite people like me to change the world one small step at a time with Kindness and Love..I'm just so proud of you and your incredible achievements Tay and I'm so happy that you're better than you ever was. Have the best year ever. You make me believe in the dreams that are impossible and hopefully I could make them all come true. Hoping that one day you could follow me back here and share with you more about me and my life.
Thank you so much for being my best friend and believing in me. Thank you for letting me know that you know me after 13 years ( I never thought in my wildest dreams that you'll ever know that I exist, a girl only dreamed about it) and you wished to meet me, but hopefully one day we will and that would be just BEAUTIFUL and PERFECT. I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you. And I know these things will CHANGE and I feel it will happen with all my heart. You're my whole world and I hope you know that.
I love you so much Tay and I'll stand by you Forevermore. And most of all, thank you so much for being my best friend. I'm so blessed to have you in my life and I thank God for bringing this beautiful and loving Angel into my life.
