Do you really want to know where I was April 29

What happened on April 29

Joe Alwyn was not doing reshoots in LA on April 29

2016 Haylor Timeline

Songs

Calvin - Ole (thank you @tameimpala222)

Harry - Kiwi

Taylor - High Infidelity

[corneliaavenue]

Don't get me started that it felt like Taylor truly tortured herself solely to prove to herself and to everyone else that she could be in a long committed "healthy" relationship so stayed with CH for over 1 year until someone else was willing to jump ship with her.

taylor wanted 2 things out of that relationship in 2015: a cake and this photo

I haven’t been on this blog in (???) many years.. however. The highlight of being here for me was the time when Taylor and Calvin were together (Tayvin) and I KNOW that didn’t end well and I KNOW a lot of swifties probs hate or hated Calvin Harris (it’s been a long time, I’d be surprised if anyone still cares) but I loved that time on this blog, getting to know swifties and expanding the Calvin fanbase at the time. I’m still a supporter of his but the fangirling has gone.. I’ve aged and I have other priorities in life. However Calvin Harris is the reason why I got into Taylor and I AM SEEING HER THIS SUMMER IN LONDON!!!!!

[whatiwillsay]

do we think tayvin was real? I can't remember

yes! heard tea it was and there’s a bunch of public facing info (like calvin’s jet movements and his snap chatting from taylor’s bed) that very easily support a real tayvin. yes it was messy and filled with cheating on both parts in the end.

[the-1ast-time]

guys im a gaylor but tayvin and hiddleswift were kinda cute idk

[folkwhorespodcast]

Your favorite Folkwhores are back to discuss another Midnights 3am track...High Infidelity! Is this song about Zoë Kravitz? Scott Swift? Taylor's fans? Audrey and Laura dive into several possible theories and can't decide which one(s) they believe.

[still-beautiful-things]

why do I feel like Calvin said this to her after hearing High Infidelity (& Dear Reader) :(

Look in the mirror and remind yourself what you are and what you are not. You are not someone else’s opinion of you.

Yachgate

In early 2016, they were not talking because she was with Calvin, he his longest hair, new tattoos and had PDA with Kendall on a yacht - so... it missed 1989 by 2 years.

Timeline:

It would have been moved because she was dating Calvin Harris when she wrote it, who was also why they didn't talk:

15 January 2015 Taylor and Harry last seen together at Lily's Aldridges birthday, she was not at his birthday 2 weeks later.

27 February 2015 - Taylor starts dating Calvin Harris.

17 May 2015 - BBMAs with Tayvis PDA and Harry's heart ripped out. Taylor has regretful sounding clean speech in next show.

26 May 2015 - Calvin at vegas pool party, soon after blinds that Calvin is cheating.

22 June 2015 - Taylor tours Europe at the same time as One Direction while Calvin is in the US. Harry posts colour to IG and suggestive tweets the same week Taylor played some Haylor songs and was in the feels with Clean speeches. Taylor posts Breathe in/out (song about getting over ex) and Calvin shows up in UK.

November 2015 Harry got the tiger and eagle tattoos, fresh for:

2 January 2016 He was on a yacht with Kendall in a wild, heavily photographed PDA, complete with long hair & new tattoos.

Calvin was jealous enough of her reaction to Yachtgate that it featured in Ole.

Harry and Taylor together again February - April 29 2016, in May getaway car and she broke up with CH

Noting this post 2015 BBMAs, she had been dating Calvin for 10 months and presumably not spoken to Harry in months.

But, yeah long hair, new Eagle tattoo (icon) visible as he grabbed Kendalls foot on the side of a Megayacht. /sigh It was a different guy to the one she was dating in the Red/1989 Era. Last seen dotingly watch her get her hair cut backstage at Red and giggling as they adopted Olivia.

In Harry's defence - she had a boyfriend of 10 months. What we know now from the original Gorgeous Lyrics is that she and Calvin had not seen each other in months by February 2016 so those pictures would have stung....

At the time Calvin was incredibly jealous of Harry, as detailed in Ole, a friendship seems off the table during that relationship. .

The story continues in I did something bad.

[calvvinharris]

Found my diary from 2015… sorry 2015 Vicki, I barely use the blog and no, they did not marry 🤣🤣🤣

[9w1ft]

was hiddleswift this annoyingly blatant?

i was not around for hiddleswift! i came upon kaylor at the start of 2018. but judging by what i researched about it, hiddleswift definitely had more PDA 🫣

[thelasttime]

why cautious? (i feel the same way i'm just no sure why i do)

it’s the old grizzled jaded swiftie in me

[foxes-that-run]

Sorry if this question has been answered a thousand times! But yes, I do really want to know where T was April 29th!!! Can you give more information on this story?

There are previous posts on it in 2016 timeline, song analysis' for I did something bad, and @tameimpala222's post on Calvin Harris' Ole.

Do you really want to know where I was April 29? 

This high infidelity line could be as much to fans as to Calvin. Like Dear Reader, it says to fans how some see Taylor in a narrow idealised way

OK, but what happened?

Set up:

Taylor and Calvin had been on pretty rocky ground. There has been rumours that he had been unfaithful, that Taylor was jealous of yachtgate and that Calvin was jealous of that jealousy.

Taylor won Album of the Year on 16 February and in Miss Americana said she felt alone and had no one she could call. (21 Minutes)

Harry and Kendall started the year with Yachtgate 6 January. Kendall was in Europe and didn’t go to Harry’s birthday party on the 21st and they arrived and left separately Jeff’s birthday 23 January so hendall was over then. They weren’t seen together for months apart from a pap walk that promoted KUWTK.

Harry was in LA at the same time. He wore this blue Hawaii st Laurent shirt on his 22nd birthday, also the day of the feeling 22 tweet which went viral. Taylor tumblr likes Holy Ground lyrics about falling apart. Taylor was in LA but not seen. 2 weeks later he wrote Sweet Creature which is a love song, but also references seeding doubt in a love interests' partners mind.

At this time, Calvin also started writing a diss track (Ole) about a guy (Harry) who ignores his GF (Kendall) for someone else (Taylor) who is a fake girlfriend to the subject (Calvin), the video shades Hendall and Haylor.

28 February - 29 April

Harry and Taylor then started hinting at hooking up, or wanting to. On 28 February Taylor looks stunning and alone at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, Harry tweets Elvis lyrics about not being over an ex and posted a colour photo to instagram (it had been B&W since OOTW came out unless he saw Taylor).

Taylor and Calvin posted about the 1 year anniversary a week later and spent 3 days with backgrid in the Bahamas. Harry went back to London and looked grumpy getting a parking ticket that week. :/

But then it seemed back on 25 March when Taylor and Harry return to LA the same day 👀 and are seen around LA separately.

On the 3rd April Taylor and Calvin are hostile at the iHeartRadio awards, blinds they fought in the pap walk.

The end for Tayvin was at Coachella/Bleachella/TIWYCF when Calvin didn't give Taylor credit for This is What you Came for. A year later there was a blind item that TIWYCF was about who Taylor was having an affair with (in hindsight it’s really Haylor), to me this helps explain why it went so bad over it.

Harry again tweeted Cars lyrics about being with an ex that you love no matter what And then finally, as well known Taylor went to Gigi's birthday party on the 28th, and did not show up for promo for TIWYCF, neither Harry or Taylor are seen on the 29th.

The next Day Harry is still in LA in a walk of shame to a Gym and Calvin goes on Radio to say she isn't working.

Alas it didn't work out for either couple, Tayvin imploded. Harry went to Europe to shoot Dunkirk then record HS1 and Taylor was looking for someone to be with her all the time and publicly move on from the Tayvin disaster. You know the rest.

For bonus the promo Taylor was a no show was possible this interview with Calvin had Nick Grimshaw, AKA Harry's close friend and long term maker of lighthearted Haylor jokes, in Calvins house on April 29 2016!

Later references

What makes this and interesting comment on Taylors fans thinking they know everything is that it wasn't known.... Were it not for Ole and Kiwi's videos that is!

Later in 2016 Calvin released Ole that references outfits Taylor, Kendall and Harry all wore in this period and Calvin posted to instagram wearing Harry's exact shirt from February.

Harry recreated Taylors look from this party in the protagonist of the Kiwi music video, which refers to when Taylor said at 2015 Oscar’s she was “going home to the cats” and Calvin (prick) "When she's alone, she goes home to a cactus (Uh) In a black dress, she's such an actress"

And finally, for irony and lols:

On 29 April 2017 (the 1 year anniversary of this high infidelity) Harry got papped wearing the same shirt.

In September Capital FM used the photo Calvin's used to troll Harry and Taylor in an article calling him a 'baller'. Harry has a leaked song from this era, Super Pretty with the line "Said you're happier with that big baller that we both knew growing up"

And it still continues in when Harry's friend Roman Kemp presented Calvin with Harry Styles Bathwater at the 2024 Brits.

Joe Alwyn, the Bowery Gastropub & Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk "reshoots"

A Reddit and Toe-Tumber version of this story is:

Joe was in LA for BLLHW reshoots and was with co-star Garrett Hedlund, who's friends with Caleb Followill who is married to Lily Aldridge who was at Gigi's party where we know Taylor was. There is a pub named the Bowery Gastropub on Sunset and Vine so of course Taylor met Joe there because 6 degrees of separation. It somehow makes sense that Tayvin continued and Hiddleswift happened and that she wrote in the lover journal that Toe started dating 3 months before January.

Issues with this story:

This story hinges on a screenshot from an office assistants LinkedIn claiming to have worked freelance on reshoots for the film for 2 months March and April 2016. If you search the words in the screenshot the Linkedin profile does say that. However if you look at profiles for editors, videographers and producers on the film they all ended mid-2015. Perhaps the freelance office assistant was working on a different film, or listed the wrong task.

Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk had no reshoots. They had no budget for them and shot specifically to avoid them. It was also not shot in LA.

Footage for the film had already been debuted on 16 April 2016. They were definitely not still shooting a low budget film 2 weeks later when it was being screened and was released in November

Joe was in London on 20 March 2016. There is no reason to think Joe was in LA.

Joe and Garrett Hedlund did attend the Met Gala - however as a C/B lister Garrett would not have a plus one, more likely he was Lily's plus one!

Caleb Followill, and his brother and bandmate Nathan Followill go way back with Harry - Nathan has a matching tattoo of the other half of Harry's broken heart tattoo! Harry (and Taylor) were at a Calab Followill's 2015 birthday party when they were last seen together. If the Followill connect/ Bowery gastropub is true at all, it was not a no-name friend of a friend who was in London! 😂 It was a BFF who was in LA and flirting with his ex-GF.

This mental gymnastics to fit Joe into a story that three artists have described is a good example of how swifties want to keep Taylor in a defined perfect box, which she wants out of. It reminds me of this quote she gave Rolling Stone in 2014, about the snowboarding accident and OOTW:

"People think they know the whole narrative of my life, I think maybe that line is there to remind people that there are really big things they don’t know about."

[still-beautiful-things]

bejeweled is so sad underneath all the shininess because she’s really asking if i can’t take his breath away anymore, can i take anyone’s breath away? if i’ve lost his interest, have i lost my spark? so she decides to go find out, and she is still lighting up rooms, but the person she’s with just doesn’t care. does she have a man? she doesn’t know anymore. she sings about sapphire tears on her face, because at the party when she has this realization she can clearly see that what they have needs to end. she lost him as soon as she started questioning how valuable she was to him. but she’s so pretty all dressed up and glittering and sad!

[jennyboom21]

This feels familiar….

Things I think about on the daily: the implications of “and when I walked up to the podium I think that I forgot to say your name” in the context or BBMAS 2016 💀
