#like when she did it on the 1989 tour and that KOMH started off on an electric guitar

[kingofmyborrowedheart]

eyes open has speak now vibes with the instrumental …. I just want Taylor to have a pop-rock album and have a punk rock festival vibe tour

I think what Amos said about Speak Now being her rock album is so accurate. I think it would be so cool if the reputation vault had some rockier stuff to it since I have no idea how inclined she is to make a pop-rock/punk album.

Hi there! Kind of new to this whole thing and I can’t even remember how I got here. How do we know Taylor and Joe aren’t actually together? I understand that her account ‘liking’ his posts within seconds is suspect, but that could just be smart and easy PR? I don’t know! I’m not trying to argue and say they’re real or anything like that, just trying to understand bc that relationship is a huge question mark for me in all of this!

Great question! My answer will be long so bare with me. Basically, the timeline of her ‘dating’ him doesn’t make any sense. Also here’s a great post I just found that is a similar question to what you asked. Link. By @all-my-possessions

At the beginning of the reputation era I was so excited to have new music from Taylor. 1989 era was my favorite and so much happened in the time from 1989 release to the reputation release. I was intrigued to hear about Taylor’s life and basically I missed her. I expected there to be songs about Calvin. When I listened I was so confused. I knew she was publicly “dating” Joe Alwyn but I was like wow I feel like I have no idea who this guy is, I still don’t.

I was already confused listening to reputation it didn’t sound personal to her relationship with Joe. When I heard Call it What You Want I was like not into it either. Gorgeous I’m like huh? Is Taylor admitting to cheating? Very confused!

Some things I think that pushed me over the edge:

1. The writing sessions videos of her writing and recording Gorgeous, delicate and king of my heart. She’s wearing the same outfit (Karlie posted this on her instagram she’s in the video): 

2. The lyrics themselves:

“left a mark on me a golden tattoo” Where was Joe? Not at Drake’s party. Taylor’s golden tattoo was angel wings that evening.

“I once was poison ivy but now i’m your daisy”

“Our secret moments, in a crowded room. They got no idea about me and you” when was Taylor and Joe in a crowded room? Hmm? The Met Gala? So that implies Taylor was cheating on Calvin Harris to be with Joe and then she was like no actually you aren’t the love of my life...I’m going to date Tom Hiddleston for a summer of romance? Really?

“Wear you like a necklace”, “you did a number on me, I did a number on you but honestly baby who’s counting?” That is not straight sex. I mean it can be but that made me go huh? Sexy song.

3. Dark Jeans and your Nikes in the middle of Malibu? I don’t think so. These pap pictures were released the day Delicate music video came out. Paparazzi are not waiting in the hills for a global superstar to go hiking with her ~omg boyfriend~ which made me think why would Taylor call the paparazzi on a relationship that she is ‘a secret she’s hoping, dreaming, dying to keep’? If they were real why would she call the paps? Why would he be hiking in jeans? That is not a British thing, that is not an American thing.

4. Delicate music video with no muse. The ...ready for it? music video she’s clearly showing two halves of her. What the media sees, and what is real. End Game music video she’s in the closet most of the time.

Quite honestly most of the lyrics in her songs point to Karlie to me more so than Joe. We have photographic evidence of her time with Karlie “drinking beer out of plastic cups”, “I want to wear his(her) initial on a chain round my neck”. Why would she put all those references to Karlie if they were just friends? Why would she make a song called “Call it What You Want” that sounds like “Karlie would you want to?” If they weren’t in a real relationship and Taylor didn’t want people to talk about Karlie she would add more vagueness. She is the queen of Easter Eggs and I really started noticing the easter eggs in the reputation era.

Also, writing takes time. Swifities seem to think Taylor ends a stadium tour goes home takes a day off then starts writing and recording the next album. It’s not that simple, it’s much more sporadic. She said she had the dress lyric saved in her notes from a couple of years before. Taylor is ALWAYS writing. She never stops. So what happened to the songs I imagine she wrote in 2014, 2015 (which is basically MIA in her journals she released), 2016? Must mean some of them were on reputation some on Lover... You mean to tell me she started writing reputation in 2017? No, her father even said it was suppose to come out earlier. The official Toe relationship began according to Toes in October 2016 so how did she record KOMH before? You have to write before you record so when would she have written that? She was publicly linked to Tom Hiddleston at that time. KOMH sounds like it’s been a relationship that has been going on for awhile. Not fresh.

I know I talked alot about reputation era in this post. If you believe Taylor and Joe are dating than you believe they started dating before the reputation era i.e most Toes believe Joe is the reputation muse + the Lover muse. Really breaking it down to the muse in reputation you will realize it is not Joe. There are also so many connections Taylor made to the song Lover + You are in Love. She posted this on her Instagram BEFORE YOU ARE IN LOVE came out. The public ‘muse’ of the song YAIL, Jack + Lena didn’t even know it was ‘inspired by’ them which is weird because Jack made the song with Taylor...wouldn’t he know?

We all slept on the rep tour set list and here’s why.

Hi so I’ve been thinking about the whole LWYMMD to KOMH portion of the show and I’ve sort of realised how the outfits correspond to the songs. So here is a theory about the rep tour set list.

Okay so my thoughts started with the fact that Taylor’s outfit in LWYMMD looks so similar to a boxers dressing gown (idk what else to call it) and how she was sooooo ready for a fight with LWYMMD. See:

So she wears it to signify the start of a fight. Then she also wears it in end game. My theory is THAT THIS BITCH MET THE LOVE OF HER LIFE IN THE END GAME PART OF THE SHOW (cause you know end game is literally about meeting someone) AND THEN KOMH COMES ON AND SHE CHANGES INTO THIS:

So basically she’s given up the fight, she doesn’t wanna play games any more cause she’s literally met the love of her life.

SOOOO this had me thinking about the entire rep tour set list. And wow did I think. So basically here it is:

1: READY FOR IT - okay so we start off with ready for it cause a) Girl knows how to open a show and b) it’s the start of Taylor not wanting to carry on with her reputation as a snake. She’s wanting to own that and put a positive twist on it. Also it’s preparing us for what is to come.

2: IDSB - Girl wants to break free from her reputation and is basically slaughtering her “good girl” reputation cause I mean she literally swears in it and if that ain’t killing off good girl TS I don’t know what is.

3: Gorgeous - Remember when we thought girl squad was dead? Yeah well it wasn’t cause this is all about women empowerment and she literally introduced us to the women of the rep tour in it. This is her new squad the women who believed in her and I mean she may not have Gigi and Karlie up there but she’s sure well telling us she had people.

4: Style/Love Story/YBWM - Okay this mash up isn’t anything but iconic and I won’t hear otherwise (low key also check me dancing like a mad crazy queen on rep tour Netflix) but the girl is literally showing us she’s not completely letting go of that part of herself.

5: LWYMMD - As I said she’s putting up a damn fight to own her reputation within the media etc.

6: End Game - Hun meets the love of her life and was like okay this fight is worth it but do I wanna destroy my rep by fighting for it? Might as well own it.

7: KOMH - Not only did this bring us the iconic migration of the rep tour yall also slept on the fact ya girl is literally saying she met the love of her life and she is feeling so in love with her new guy that okay maybe she will take back her reputation and use her “bad rep” to make it positive.

Would also like to make sure we take note that all the outfits were black during this part. Sort of like she was mourning the death of her own reputation.

8: Delicate - SHE WEARS COLOUR AND HUN IM HERE FOR IT. Weather it was Rainbow or tide pod dress she wore colour. She knew that she had to reinvent herself and she had fallen in love and wanted to keep it secret (that’s why its delicate ladies) hence why we hear these stories about her sneaking in suitcases.

9: Shake it off - This girl is shaking off the hate and her reputation and I personally believe she was trying to do this in 1989 but it didn’t work as well hence why we have rep - a literal masterpiece about owning it and not giving a damn about what people say. Also she bought Charlie and Camila out to a) showcase them and b) to signify her friendships.

10: DWOHT - She’s feeling like she can’t carry on as she is but wants to reinvent herself but this is one of the last old Taylor moments. She’s acoustic and it’s just her and the crowd.

11: Surprise song - Though it was a different song almost every night I have to feel as if they meant something to her. Like again she wanted the old Taylor to show and wasn’t quite ready for it to be gone. And then we end up with the bstage swap.

12: Blank Space - She keeps up with the act of being the bad girl she went quiet for a year and lets people speculate to grow this character just so she can kill it off.

13: Dress - This is the Taylor behind closed doors the raw Taylor who has fully found herself. She’s happy with her relationship enough to write a song about how she truely feels and the chemistry they have. Also she pays tribute to Loie Fuller who created the serpentine dance (who like Taylor went up against a lot of criticism where people were trying to take credit for something she did) and this perfectly corresponds with the whole idea of reputation as a whole.

14: Bad Blood/Should have said no - I don’t think anything Taylor does is accidental and I believe this is a direct hit at the media and the Kim and Kanye sitch. This mashup bought back should have said no and I believe she’s reflecting on the leaked phone call (which may or may not have been highly edited) and she’s addressing the fact she doesn’t want to live with any regrets about what happened (though we may never know the entire truth).

15: Don’t Blame me - The clue is in the title, she wants to come back strong af but doesn’t want to be the victim of a drama that was out of her control. She doesn’t want the fall out to reflect on her career. She doesn’t want to play the victim but she’s saying she really is and if one person believes her that she might be okay. This could also address the one dollar court case she had.

16: Long Live/New years day - I believe she’s actually going out of her way to thank the fans, her team, her band and her boyfriend in this mashup. We all stuck by her during the fight and she believes this is the end of it. It could also be one final goodbye to Scott Borchetta and Big Machine hence we have long live in there.

17: Getaway car - This is her last goodbye to her old self, it runs with the themes of 1989 and she’s feeling good about leaving that chapter of her life. She’s finally free.

18: Call it what you want - Girl literally doesn’t care what you call her or what you throw at her, she’s stronger because she has people around her.

19: WANGBT/TIWWCHNT - The final good bye. She’s not quite letting go of her old self, shes not apologising for it and she’s surrounded by people who support her. She’s being her truest self. She doesn’t want to “kiss and make up” she’s tired of that, she’s happy with who she is.

So in conclusion @taylorswift is the queen of story telling and metaphors (even in her outfits) and we all slept on it when she was telling the story of what exactly went on within the year she took out. She literally told us the whole thinb using the rep tour and this album and we all ignored it. So yep that’s my theory.

- The only redeeming thing for shake it off is that she made it as gay as she could

-I still wanna know what inspired “my ex man brought his new girlfriend...to the fella over there with the hella good hair” bit

- What did Di do? And who did Taylor hit on? Or is Karlie the one with the hella good hair?

- Giuseppe got down on one knee long before Karlie ever will

Dancing With Our Hands Tied

- How smug was Taylor when her jump to pop worked?

- There must have been so many I told you so’s

- It started raining. The closest I’ll ever come to a rain show.

- I can’t believe she played this song in Nashville with Karlie right there and kept her shit together

- Taylor’s never more magical then when it’s just her and a guitar

- I would give anything and go deep in debt to go to an acoustic show

- This filter was unnecessary and such a call out

- She had one fuck left and it’s name is alliterative All Too Well

- I hope she keeps doing acoustic surprise songs like this next tour. Where it’s a set thing.

- I’m so relieved she approves of lyric tattoos. Like....imagine if she didn’t and I have my entire forearm

- Put down your fucking phones and watch her be magic personified

- Also fuck this song for being so powerful

- The way she sings the bridge

- Now did she really lose the 12 minute version or is it just a little too obvious who it’s about

- Her wink! I’d die

- Is that chick okay? Did she live?

Blank Space

- The crowd walk! I’m still so so fucking endlessly proud

- Look at her!

- My precious angel reclaiming walking through her fans

- Still want her to hit me in the face with the golf club

- And kick me in the face with her boots

- This is also still my favourite mv

- It was so perfect

- This is also quality choreo. I wouldn’t have made it had it seen it right in front of me

- Gay icons

Dress

- Holy fuck dress is so gay

- Like.....we been knew but still

- This song is why she didn’t dare film in Nashville

- The vocals should be illegal

- Like, they’re NSFL (Not Safe For Lesbians)

- The first time she did that (strip tease thing) and the Nashville show were the best ones

Should Have Said No / Bad Blood

- This is still the most fucking random mash up

- I mean it works and redeems bad blood but wtf

- The person sitting on someone else’s shoulders has to really be pissing off someone else who can’t see

- Aggressive banjo

- Can’t believe she puts on a show and sells like this and Borschetta wouldn’t give her the masters. Idiot

- The dudes dangling are braver than any US Marine

- Instead she negotiated for better artist pay AND her future masters. The Legend jumped out

- I remember watching this the first time and being briefly confused because this sort of drawn out thing is what they normally do for show closing but it was too early

Don’t Blame Me

- Oh fuck here we go

- THIS IS MY FAVOURITE TOUR OUTFIT

- PERIOD

- ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES

- this entire fucking performance. No words

- I love all the dude dancers had the blinders like headgear. As if such powerful sapphic love is distinctly not for their consumption

- I have found religion

- I stan a queen

Long Live / New Year’s Day

- I love she knows how many people work on the tour and genuinely appreciates their effort

- I hope this mashup sticks around, at least as the surprise song at the closing show of the next tour

- I’m not crying you’re crying

- Hold on to the memories, they/I will hold onto you is one on my favourite lines she’s written

- Along with with please don’t ever become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize anywhere

- Oh my fucking god stop letting her be this precious

- Remember how fucking loud we were in Denver?

- This is my favourite moment of the entire show - for her. You can tell how much it means to her

- She owns my ass and wallet forevermore

- “I had the time of my life....with you” is a whole emotional mood

- Her quick little thank you 😭

Why She Disappeared

- Oh that’s the first time I’ve heard the echos

- Those boots probably cost more than my life

- This should have been the close or open of the getaway car mv

- Imagine if it shows up in an mv next era. Starts with a car on a pink x

Getaway Car

- The 1989 neon is an interesting choice

- Is that the shift to pop being a getaway or the close of the 1989 era being one? (More thoughts on this later)

- Hits you like a shotgun shot to the Heart is a fucking amazing line

- I loved that bit straight away

- I can lowkey see getaway car being about switching labels tbh

- This last album maybe IS the getaway car (more, again, later)

Call It What You Want

- Ciwyw is one on my favourite love songs of hers

- Trust him like NO OTHER was right at her fingertips

- Who the fuck would say no to running away with her?

- I would let her RUN ME OVER, running away WITH her? Fuck yes

We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together / This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things

- WANEGBT/TIWWCHNT is a brilliant mash up

- But fucking ridiculous to type

- “But I’m not the friend you’ve lost lately” is the shadiest fucking line and I love it

- I’m disappointed we never got video of her recording “cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do”. I can only imagine the sass and snark

- “Taylor the mic is picking up you muttering ‘fucking prick’. You need to record it again.”

- “.....Taylor, muttering ‘backstabbing motherfucker’ isn’t any better. Maybe try it without the muttering?”

- The mouthed “I love you guys” ❤😭

- They’re not showing people collecting confetti? How unrealistic.

- Oh, there they are.

- “The words are all the same over and over again and I know that’s my fault....” still funny as hell

- “What’s a 767?” What’s it like to have that kind of money?

- Will pay to watch Taylor skip through a stadium

In conclusion: Taylor owns me. Kristen puts up with a lot from me. And I can’t wait for the next chapter.
