taylor swift released the music video for ‘look what you made me do’

the golden bird cage that taylor is locked in, which is referenced and/or alluded to in i know places, so it goes…, the original lyrics of cardigan, this is me trying, cowboy like me, midnight rain, who’s afraid of little old me?, guilty as sin?, and but daddy i love him

a representation of the four true muses locked away in the vault, dressed in the colors of each of their respective albums

l’aveugle par amour = blind for love

many fans feel this scene is a nod to the lesbian motorcycle club, “Dykes on Bikes”, known for their participation in lgbtq+ pride events

dominatrix taylor (ironically wearing a bondage collar) as the leader of the pussy magnet squad

Can we PULEASE, pull the LWYMMD mv back into discussion.

Like this music video was undoubtedly her most generous offering to the Gaylor community.

Let’s run through this shall we?

Here we have her 8 beards…

The 8 beards that hold her in a Gold cage, hostage to [her] feelings.

And stand around looking eerily like secret service men- you know, men that are paid to be there..

Not to mention when she’s dancing with her beards, they all are wearing the same “I <3 ts” shirt that Tom Hiddleston wore out on a stunt with Taylor seen here:

The men paid to be there are wearing the same shirt as our most beloved beard Tom hiddleston.

YESS I noticed this too! With all the religious imagery in TTPD I’m now thinking the “HEEL damaged” is actually a biblical reference as well as a reference to Achilles’ heel (a weak spot).

The first prophecy ever written in the Bible, Genesis 3:15, is about how even though Satan (the serpent) will temporarily defeat Jesus by arranging his physical death (bruise his heel), Jesus will mortally wound Satan by rising from the dead (crush his head). This prophecy comes after Eve is tempted by the devil to sin. All of these things show up in Taylor’s music which I will explain in detail.

In TTPD Taylor references this biblical story and symbolism several times:

“I don't cater to all these vipers dressed in empath's clothing”

“What if I roll the stone away? They're gonna crucify me anyway, What if the way you hold me is actually what's holy? If long-suffering propriety is what they want from me, They don't know how you've haunted me so stunningly, I choose you and me religiously”

“So they filled my cell with snakes”

And probably the most important allusion to this story is in The Prophecy. And actually I’m pretty certain now that all of The Prophecy is a play on this biblical prophecy abt Eve’s descendant crushing Satan’s head and I’ll explain why.

“Hand on the throttle, Thought I caught lightning in a bottle, Oh, but it's gone again, And it was written I got cursed like Eve got bitten, Oh, was it punishment?”

THIS IS LITERALLY EXACTLY WHAT THE 1ST 🎃 MESSAGE IS TALKING ABT. She was going full throttle on her bike when suddenly her heel is bruised by Satan (think of all the lyrics abt devils in her music) just like how Eve was bitten by him. And interestingly she slightly tweaks the biblical story so that Eve is now the victim of a curse and essentially blameless; Eve was never bitten in the actual story but was tempted to sin and was therefore kicked out of the garden of Eden. I’m pretty sure this is abt her failed coming out. And I think it actually might not be abt the 2019 lover era failed coming out but perhaps a rep era failed coming out instead based on the mention a bike (LWYMMD and Endgame mv) and Getaway Car (3rd 🎃 message) and the allusion to the serpent Satan (rep era was full of snakes). I think it’s possible she’s tried many times to come out and failed -> “Oh but it’s gone again.” I think she’s begging for the curse of always having her coming out plans foiled (the prophecy) to be changed. In this case, “brand new, full throttle” might mean that for once in her life she’s actually gonna be able to come out w/out any obstacles.

And going back to rep era, I think it’s very interesting how she referred to herself as a snake since she was being treated like she was the devil, but in reality she was Eve or Jesus, just a victim being cursed and crucified for no reason. “Honey I rose up from the dead I do it all the time…I’m sorry the old Taylor can’t come to the phone right now. Why? Oh cause she’s dead.” In the LWYMMD mv she stretches out her hands like she’s Jesus being nailed to a cross which is when his “heel was bruised” and likely when hers was as well. Everyone thinks this was just abt the kimye drama but I think there was more going on behind the scenes.

Cassandra is likely talking abt the same thing as The Prophecy which is probably why she connected the two thru the story of Apollo and Cassandra in Greek mythology and has them right next to each other in the album. I think this song is abt the lover era failed coming out while The Prophecy is abt a rep era failed coming out due to how these metaphors and allusions are used—she, like Cassandra, had the gift of prophecy and knew her plans would be undermined once again like a never-ending cycle.

Also notice how similar Cassandra is to mad woman lyrically and sonically

The Prophecy also seems to be related to mad woman and the mastersheist w the mention of witchcraft and sorcery. This makes sense considering how this feud w her record label likely started before rep era and inspired it and maybe even caused a failed coming out before the lover era one. “Fifteen years, fifteen million tears, Begging 'til my knees bled, I gave it my all, he gave me nothin' at all, Then wondered why I left.” I think Scott B not wanting her to come out was a large part of why she went to a different record label.

I believe these lyrics are yet another one of Taylor’s clever double entendres. It refers to both the stonewall riots “who threw the first brick at stonewall” which is very lover era AND it refers to Jesus’ saying “let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her” and this connects to the biblical reference in the chorus “so they filled my cell with snakes.”

That was all a really long-winded way to say that basically I think the reason why Taylor uses sooo much biblical imagery in TTPD (especially related to Genesis 3:15) is bc she sees her story going the same way as Jesus’. She was the victim of a curse (being stuck in the closet), got her heel bruised (foiled coming outs), was killed and became a ghost (we hereby conduct this post-mortem; the old taylor is dead), but she’s eventually gonna rise from the dead as a new version of herself in this next chapter of her life. And she’s probably gonna take down the devil/serpent which is the music industry as a whole while she’s at it (see this post for more info on that). And this is even more proof that 🎃 anon is legit and was hinting at TTPD a yr ago.

[bettyrightnow]

why are new fans just wrong so often and so bravely. aren’t you scared? aren’t you watching and reading and studying as much content as you can so you can get up to speed with everyone around you? bring back shame!!!!!!!!

[taylortruther]

how are those dress haters doing now that we have things like guilty as sin..? lmaooo

but seriously, there's a lot to unpack about why some people are uncomfortable with taylor expressing her sexuality

although you have a point about women and sexuality and all that, let's remember the context of rep in 2016. people still hated her and ardently wished for her downfall. the reactions i heard from this group about lwymmd ("that's something abusers say!") and dress ("it's like she's moaning into the microphone, disgusting") reflected that bitch-eating-crackers syndrome.

[ranger-kellyn]

not to be a fruit on main but we moved on too fast from this look

[kingofmyborrowedheart]

It’s absolutely wild that “Look What You Made Me Do” received so few nominations at award shows.
