Let’s get started on the sheer importance of this combination of songs- CAUSE WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THIS
Carolina + no body, no crime
Carolina as in KARLI-e??
Anyway, she had that smirk on her face and called this the “murder Mash-up”?!!! Murder of what darling? Possibly Taylor Swift™️? I digress, lyric time:
Lonesome I'll always stay / Carolina knows / Why for years I roam / Free as these birds, light as whispers
Translated to: Karlie knows why Taylor roams from man to man and is so “lonesome” in the public eye. After all she’s just as free as any musician right…?
And you didn't see me here / No, they never did see me here
Translated to: the fans didn’t see her there with Karlie, no they never really saw her with karlie. Most of them never saw the intent behind Taylor’s eyes when she looked at Karlie, and vice versa. :(
And she's in my dreams / Into the mist, into the clouds
Oh, Carolina knows / Why for years they've said /That I was guilty as sin / And sleep in a liar's bed /But the sleep comes fast
Translation: Karlie knows why the fans have said for years that she’s gay and sleeps in another liars bed (aka Karlie’s), however she lives peacefully when she’s alone with her lover, and simultaneously lies to the public weekly about her real lover.
No body, no crime as in if there’s no evidence than it never happened??
Much like how she emphasized “infidelity” when she sings
Her husband’s actin’ different and it smells like infidelity.
How very telling of whether or not the same muse in the first song (Karlie) has a ‘faithful’ husband (-when you’re in a lavender marriage it is different morally, but to the public it is disloyalty to even consider he is with anyone other than her)
I think I’m gonna call him out
Maybe as in… I don’t know… 🏳️🌈call her husband out of the closet… coughs in coumingoutlor*
ALSO just an added bonus is the sheer amount of times she emphasizes the word “SHE” in the performance… there’s way more than just this short clip 🏳️🌈✨💅
The manuscript + Red
The Manuscript as in the ENTIRE torrid affair?!
Whilst reading this part of the analysis keep in mind that I believe that the manuscript is most likely from Karlie’s point of view in the future, it may be from Taylor’s, but it makes the most sense as Karlie’s POV.
Now and then she rereads the manuscript / Of the entire torrid affair
Now and then Karlie remembers (aka rereading) a time (a manuscript) full of ‘difficulty and tribulation’ (the definition of torrid), that was her lavender marriage to Josh.
They compared their licenses
I believe that this could possibly be about Taylor & Karlie in the way that Taylor has a drivers license but Karlie has a Marriage License in the era of this memory.
He said, "I'm not a donor but / I'd give you my heart if you needed it"
Gay best friend offers to give Karlie his heart, or at least his legal (-and for show) heart if she needs it.
And the years passed / Like scenes of a show
From there the marriage begins, and much like a show, Karlie and Josh are constantly performing.
Then the actors / Were hitting their marks/ And the slow dance/ Was alight with the sparks / And the tears fell / In synchronicity with the score
This is her looking back at the lavender marriage/ bearding time of their public relationship. The actors (aka the girls and their men) truly were hitting their marks and convincing the public of a romance worthy of a small Nicolas sparks novel. Obviously this isn’t a happy thing to look back on, and with the pretend comes all the times she wished she could just be done with the agony of pretending all the time. The agony that caused her so many years at the time.
And at last / She knew what the agony had been for
At last, present day (the future) Karlie knows why they did it, she looks back and knows they made the right decision because something good has clearly come from it.
The only thing that's left is the manuscript / One last souvenir from my trip to your shores
The only thing that’s left are the memories of this time.
Now and then I reread the manuscript / But the story isn't mine anymore
Now and then she remembers, but she’s out now. The story isn’t hers anymore. She isn’t in the closet anymore.
Red as in
Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes / Tell myself it's time now gotta let go/ But moving on from him is impossible / When I still see it all in my head
IF you have read this, tell me how I’m wrong when this entire combination of surprise songs so obviously has an invisible string CONNECTING THEM all together. (not so invisible now 😉) Because no I didn’t pick and choose what lyrics from red Taylor sang night 3. She did that herself. AND THESE WERE what TAYLOR Alison SWIFT chose to play directly after the manuscript.
the thing is the master Knows the archangel thing is “99, 97%” because that’s what lucy is there for. lucy is the lure, lucy was born in this game and plays it well, and most importantly, lucy made her choice. and so if a reporter thinks she might have a lead, she takes lucy into a back room to try and save her first <3 and lucy will play her part so well that the trap will close and the woman trying to save her won’t even notice until she’s dying.
i love you, women in stem. i love you, women in sports. i love you, women in business. i love you, women in arts and entertainment. i love you, women in education. i love you, women in politics and public healthcare. i love you, women who are stay-at-home moms or full time students still figuring everything out. i love you, women in law. i love you, women in social sciences. i love you, women in travel and hospitality. i love you, women in retail and food service, etc etc etc. i love women, period. and i hope all our dreams come true.
I'm really not good with theories and stuff, but I saw a couple of people speculate that Dazai was gonna say "die together" and while that is certainly beautiful in it's own way I prefer to think that Dazai was gonna end his sentence with "live".
Crazy to me that most pop history stuff about the Diamond Necklace Affair has the anti-MA backlash portrayed as just completely delusional misogynistic xenophobia, and doesn't at all mention the impact of the botched public branding of Jeanne de la Motte on public opinion.
Obsessed with like the three people ive seen who pull the "why are you hating on a woc" card on loreen like. I cannot express to you how non-personal this whole thing is. People don't hate on her because she is loreen, they just rightfully hate everything she stood for this year (unjust jury votes, undeserving wins, beige boring songs, the entire country of sweden).
Those ideas are even funnier if you think aboit the fact that witness accounts like those probably aren't available to the public, or at least not easily. Which leaves everyone with a lot of questions.
Idk about that, I'm just thinking about things like the McDonald's hot coffee lawsuit where the common thing taught is the PR version whereas it's really not hard to find out the truth behind that one if you just look a little deeper.
PopBase (very popular account on twitter) posted about Anne's post and all the quotes are mocking him now lmaooo saying how embarrassing it is his mother is defending him over hair and how there are people getting killed and calling him a Zionist 😬
