Ok, more spiraling… what if “ready for it” was originally written for Matty then repurposed for Joe?
no guys the timeline still exists. she had a fling with matty at the end of 2014 and it was wrapped up by the time she got with calvin in early 2015. she did not start writing songs that made the rep album until well over a year later, right when she met joe (and got closer with lily requsite tily acknowledgement for those of you that dabble)
in fall of 2016 she starts hooking up with joe and goes crazy writing all the songs for rep, they tie back to him not matty.
i think we have to look at matty in the context of things falling apart so horribly with joe and being hard and toxic for a long time. i think she saw joe as The Answer to snakegate (it’s how she won it) and also The Answer to her yearning for golden love and she got so desperate when she realized it wasn’t going to work with Golden Joe she pivoted HARD into matty and his love bombs she put matty on a Pedestal quickly because losing joe drove her a bit mad.
i don’t think matty is actual some golden love she’d been craving for years, i think he was a fling she wondered about but nothing too deep until she reconnected with him during the wreckage of failed toe.
we can certainly revisit (in fact i think we must) songs like the 1, cardigan, illicit affairs, high infidelity and ivy with matty in mind but reputation and lover are mostly about joe. we can keep an eye on them ofc but the timeline remains.
this is why we started covering the toe timeline!
make sure and tune in if you want the full data set

"the color we painted your brother's wall"
There was a post on the gaylor subreddit yesterday that gives a great rundown of Tily. The whole thing is definitely worth a read, but one thing that caught my eye was the pictures of Taylor painting a wall dark blue. I had seen one of them before but I'm not sure I've seen the others.
Tumblr media
(high res version if you want it)
There are Kaylor posts that I've seen that claim that the "brother's wall" that she painted was her friend who she considers a brother, and includes a picture of it:
Tumblr media
Except…except….except these blues are nothing alike. Even the lighter blue in the upper right of Taylor's collage, which was probably the first layer of paint, is still too dark and the wrong hue of blue compared to Karlie's friend's apartment. The only light blue getting painted in the Tumblr post linked above was a promo shot - you can see the cameraman in it. Hilariously, the dark blue picture where taylor's actually painting a real wall is in that post too, just slid in there with no comment.
So what's the kaylor-splanation for this?
Anyways, this tily reddit post is so worth reading. There were some videos linked in it that I've never seen before.
And this has been said before but it bears repeating: the tily timeline and kaylor timeline don't necessarily contradict each other. They both probably existed, just at different times. But Lily was the one who showed up next to Scott Swift in the VIP tent on the first night of the international eras tour, exactly 2,190 days after the release of rep. Which is super fucking loud.

The Ultimate LSK Threads Of Koincidences (2020) Part 1
Ok, since there's soooo much. I'll do it by years and link the other.
See Fall 2019 before reading this one (X)
As I did in the other, I'll link posts that explains certain piece of Kaylor Lore so you are able to better understand certain Koincidences. So if there's an (X) beside something, it's to give more context and info.
Here's the list of every Koincidences that happened in 2020.
If I forgot something, don't hesitate to tell me and I'll add it so we have everything!
Here's the amazing masterposts that helped me a lot make this part (X) (X)
January 2020
January 1st:
Karlie does a 2019 recap video on Klossy and says something really inchteresting about her second wedding:
"Kind of had a second wedding, but, it was pretty much just a party"
youtube
January 17th:
Karlie went did an interview with Andy Cohen and she talks about her "Love Story" and there's just sooo much to unpack there:
"This is quite a Love Story actually"
"I met my man in 2012" (The "I love Karlie Kloss! I want to bake cookies with her" is from 2012) See my before 2013 Kaylor timeline (X)
Also Karlie saying "my man" to "that's my man, every bait and switch was a work of art"
"It's not been easy, but it's worth it" I'm - 🥹🥹🥹
"I would make that same decision a million times again" ties pretty well with "For you I would ruin myself, a million little times"
youtube
January 31st:
Miss Americana is out.
Karlie is credited in the movie. There's a scene where you see a glimpse of her at the AMAs red carpet.
But most importantly... the Call It What You Want scene:
youtube
Soooo much to unpack on that scene.
Some say that with the reflections on the guitar, you see a woman. But that's not the most important thing.
First.
There's a littelal Easter egg:
Tumblr media
Second.
She's wearring the Victoria Secret Angel Ring.
Tumblr media
Source : Tily Nation
But the most important evidence is that when Taylor lifts her foot and you hear someone laughing singing: "I did one thing right"
It's not Taylor, it's Karlie.
Someone isolated the vocals and you can hear it very clearly (X)
(Putting the video here just so if the post is deleted, we don't loose it)
Source @lexiiieee223
Also, when by the end Taylor sings "Karlie would you want to?" you hear Karlie say "Yes!" before Taylor even finishes singing (impossible to be Taylor).
This whole scene is used in the Lover Lyrics Video (X)
February 2020:
February 12:
Karlie is papped during New York Fashion Week wearing a daisy coat. (X).
Tumblr media
February 18:
Karlie post a story with a drawing of the dress Taylor wore for the NFL ME! announcement...for Galentine's day:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
February 27:
The Man MV is out with tons of Karlie's reference. (sadly I did not do a thread yet about all of it).
But the most important part is the fake wedding:
Tumblr media
No one's there to officiate it.
But the absolute loudest thing of all is this:
Tumblr media
Look closely at the ring. The pose. Everything.
Tumblr media
See my Love Blackout post for more information on this, because this is LOUD (X)
February 28:
Every year since the Love Locked Down (X), Karlie takes a picture in Paris around that time.
Here's a thread of all the times since 2015: (X)
Tumblr media
March 2020:
March 3rd:
Karlie post during a vacation. In the exact same snow outfit that Taylor posed in for Variety 4 months before.
And March 3d is also really really close to their anniversary...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
March 20th:
Karlie's first post since Lockdown.
Also, first post of 2020 where she is wearring the Amulette de Cartier. (X) (Very important!)
You can also see those amazing posts about it (X) (X)
Tumblr media
May 2020:
May 7th:
Taylor wears a daisy shirt on her Instagram post:
Tumblr media
May 5th:
Karlie makes a post about a Turkey Baster...
Right aroung the time where she would have been trying to get pregnant for Levi to be born on March 11th 2020.
Tumblr media
May 10th:
Taylor does a post for Mother's day with a video and caption talking about her being 10 months old.
(Levi is born 10 months later).
Tumblr media
May 13th:
Eye theory in Karlie's Instagram story. (X)
Tumblr media
March 14:
Taylor does a very interesting post about Buns in the oven.
9 days after Karlie's Turkey Baster post.
There's 10 buns on the picture, Levi was born 10 months later.
Tumblr media
June 2020:
June 25th:
Karlie does a post about forgetting to feed the Tamagotchi.
Interesting. Considering that in Miss Americana, Taylor compares babies to Tamagotchis...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
July 2020:
July 10th :
Karlie post a video on Instagram dancing in a cardigan in a forest. 13 days before Folklore's release.
Wich is practically identical to a video Taylor did for Folklore.
Tumblr media
Taylor's Cardigan video:
Tumblr media
Karlie's :
Tumblr media
July 16:
Karlie does a story about her July Klossy Run Club with a calendar.
Her pfp points directly to Folklore's release date:
Tumblr media
July 17:
Karlie post an interesting Instagram picture with a Sun Flower that is very reminescent of the Lover photoshoot Taylor did witht the daisy.
Also. Eye theory.
This is 7 days before Folklore's release.
Tumblr media
Do you see the ressemblance?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
July 23rd:
Karlie does a post with pictures of her in the forest à la Folklore.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This prompted a lot of medias to talk about how Karlie was showing her support to Taylor for her new album release.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I've reached my limit of 30 images per post!
Tumblr agrees with me that these girls are A LOT 😅 (In the best way!).
Here's the link to Part 2! : (X)

What is the golden tattoo they wore? Is it an actual necklace or was it drawn on?
There are two golden tattoos in the Tily timeline, technically three if you count the golden sticker tattoos Taylor, Karlie, Halston Sage, and some of the other girls wore to Drake’s birthday party in 2016. For several reasons I don’t think the Drake party golden sticker tattoos are the “golden tattoo” referenced in “Dress.”
First, Lily has an actual tattoo of the word “golden” in Latin.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Second, Taylor and Lily wore matching golden tattoos around their neck during a key part of the Autumn of 2016, when Taylor was writing Reputation and falling in love with the Rep muse.
10/13/16 - one of the Bowery nights
Tumblr media
10/31/16 - Taylor’s Halloween party
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“I’m spilling wine in the bathtub”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The “I Don’t Want to Live Forever” music video, filmed in London, was also released on Lily’s birthday that year.

once again i’ve done my research about taylor’s history with karlie kloss and lily donaldson and i’m very confused whether reputation and Lover are about karlie or lily. the timeline fits more lily but all of the NYC references in Lover are screaming karlie’s name. but then we have butterfly emojis everywhere and tily’s ongoing friendship during Lover era so it’d seemed that they were dating at that time. taylor wore a VS ring everywhere throughout the rep and Lover era since she got it in 2016 from lily (karlie was no longer a VS angel by then). maybe kaylor broke up somewhere in 2016? or kaylor were breaking up and making up during the years 2016-2019 while lily was the „side chick” that taylor was cheating with? high infidelity is one of the main themes on folkmore and midnights. something was definitely going on between these three.

Tily Infighting: I Have So Many Questions
This spins off in so many directions, because we’re dealing in one topic, but many factions. It’s over at least 3 platforms, and everybody has an ulterior motive, it seems. I’m over here just trying to pin down the timelines and learn!!! Buckle up: I’m about to call out everyone. In the night I saw the GaylorSwift subreddit mod post calling out the Tily “inventors” (in quotes bc no proof was…

Swiftgron, Kaylor, Tilly
I believe all the rumours of Swiftgron, Kaylor, Tilly have had happening.
We all know Joe Alwyn most likely bisexual. So Taylor and Joe are on transactional business. I was convinced that Joe Alwyn and Taylor in real relationship until the Grammygate. It seems there is funny business there.
But after I read Lily Donaldson theory, it could be real. Taylor was back and forth London New York, etc, especially after Kaylor the after 2016. We are all believe Dianna Agron and Karlie Kloss are Taylor big muse. But, it also possible Lily in part of album songs of Reputation, Lover. But I more inclince that Folkmore and Evermore are more Dianna, and her dissapointed by Karlie.
General timeline Gaylor:
Late 2011 - Early 2013 : Swiftgron (Dianna Agron & Taylor Swift)
Late 2013 (Victoria Secret Runaway) - 2016 (Look What You Made Me Do video music) : Kaylor (Karlie Kloss & Taylor Swift)
2016 - 2019 : Tily (Lily Donaldson & Taylor Swift)
Swift also rumoured to make out/hooking up with Lorde and Ruby Rose.
For Swiftgron, Kaylor, and Tily, many Gaylor fans confirmed they are dating for quiet periods.
But the most powerful muse is Dianna Agron, literally Taylor Swift becoming superstar singer because the songs she has written during her and Dianna relationship which about to become monogamous serious, but the PR management shut it down.
Please find some depth documentation made by fans
Swiftgron:

About KARLIE & JOSH K. Rumours said, at first, Karlie was not accepted by K-Family. I think its logical. At those time I think Karlie was only a super model without degree. Kushner is conglomerate developers, all their children and in laws have degree. I bet thats one of the reasons Karlie go to NYU so she has a degree. After Karlie has degree, the Kushner slowly embrace her to be part of them. I do believe Karlie and Josh marriage are real, not the lavender ones. But, it is correct if she is crave for fame. Just compare Taylor with Lily, Lily is supermodel too, but she is low key being with Taylor

I'm very new to this and don't know any theories yet. Anyway, what's up with Joe? Is it (double) bearding/pr? To my knowledge it all clashes with Kaylor and I also can't figure out how Jaylor could even be real. To my understanding Kaylor also broke up, am I right in assuming that it's what "we" assume?
Let me start by saying that there is no real consensus among gaylors. There is not really a “we”. Most gaylors have our own views and some overlap, but not all.
There are gaylors who think Taylor is bi/queer and is really with Joe. There are others who think she is bi/queer and Joe is a beard (maybe originally for Karlie and/or Lily Donaldson, but was extended due to quarantine).
There are gaylors who think Taylor is a lesbian, but only some of the boyfriends have been beards (meaning some think she dealt with comphet beyond high school). Then there are gaylors like me who believe that Taylor probably dated guys in high school because of peer pressure or comphet, but is a lesbian and all of the public boyfriends have been beards.
My best advice for someone just starting to look into gaylor, is to read up on the theories and look at all the evidence and decide what makes the most sense to you. None of us can really know the truth because we don’t know Taylor like that, where she is divulging her secrets to us. If we did, we probably wouldn’t be speculating about it online (and probably signed a NDA anyway). Or, at least, I hope no one in her inner circle who she truly trusts would do that.
Some suggestions:
Start here with a Kaylor leaning master post that touches on Swiftgron and Taymily.
Then check out this more in-depth Swiftgron master post.
You can read the Tayliz master post, but not many gaylors believe in Tayliz. It’s my favorite to speculate about, but I’m still not totally convinced.
Another speculated relationship, but not very popular, is Tily. You can read up on it here.
There are things in most of the master posts that don’t really line up for me, but overall, they provide a decent overview because they usually include all or most of the known pictures, mentions, tweets, ig posts, etc. of Taylor and that woman. I’m sure you can find others by googling “Gaylor Swift timeline” or “Gaylor Swift master post”, but, again, keep in mind that there will likely always be some bias thrown in by the creator. I am not saying that in a bad way. It’s very difficult not to do that, as I have done it myself when writing certain things.
Long story short… (or not so short)
I believe Joe is a beard and probably a close friend who was meant to cover for Karlie and/or Lily and maybe some other woman/women over the last 5 years. I don’t really have enough of an opinion to speculate if it’s a double bearding set up or if it’s purely bearding for her and PR for him. There are blind items suggesting he is a beard and that he secretly hooked up with men, but take all that with a grain of salt, ofc.
I believe Kaylor broke up in 2016 and Taylor dated Lily for a couple years, while Joe acted as cover so she could have a reason for being in London so much. Some think Kaylor may have been on and off until 2020, but I just don’t think that’s the case. IMO, Kaylor was falling apart in early-mid 2016 (Cruel Summer), Taylor may have tried to keep things going, but Karlie chose Josh and ended things with Taylor in late 2016 and Taylor rebounded with Lily and ran away to London. Kaylor may have hooked up a couple more times after that, but they were only seen together once after November 2016 and that was when Karlie attended a 2018 Reputation Tour show in Nashville during her bachelorette week (could be part of what Taylor is talking about in MTR with “And you're the hero flying around, saving face”).
I think Taylor is single or was for a while after 2018. She may have hooked up with other women in the meantime or may have a super secret girlfriend. I mean, she has written/spoken plenty about being in a relationship that no one knows about with someone living a normal, private life, which would not apply to Joe, Lily, or Karlie, all of whom were involved in the entertainment industry prior to meeting Taylor, meaning they have some kind of not normal life and at least some interest in being a celebrity, or at least being a known/respected actor in Joe’s case. Otherwise, why pursue that kind of career, expecting to get any work?
Like I said, this is just what I think and I could be wrong. I suggest looking at all the “evidence” that is out there and figuring out what makes the most sense to you. I tend to lurk more often than not because I see a lot of gaylors, especially the newer ones, have much different views than I do and I’d rather not get in a disagreement about something that we’re all kind of just viewing through our own perspectives, you know?
I hope this was helpful in some way, Anon. I may not be the best help because I have what I think some would see as a pretty out there gaylor stance and have held it for quite some time and I think some people just don’t understand how someone could go to the certain lengths it would take for Taylor to have stayed in the closet, but I do.
Anyway, happy researching, Anon. Welcome to the rabbit hole. I must warn you, once you enter, you may find it very difficult to get out.

before i became a swiftie I only knew about kaylor & swiftgron, i only found out about tily after being in the fandom for a while and wow it's impressive how y'all ship taylor with literally anyone just to satisfy your fantasies. i read your tily tl and it's really pitiful how delusional you are 😭 the "proof" you think you're presenting is actually just a bunch of nothings. i'm surprised you didn't include a "taylor seen drinking coffee (lily LOVES coffee)" cause that's the vibe I was getting.
Thanks for the feedback bestie. Btw if you read the timeline introduction you would know the purpose of the timeline was to catalog their whereabouts so Tily shippers had a more solid idea of stuff, I was not trying to convince anyone of anything ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hi TN,
I'm Wild Butterscotch on reddit, the one who made https://www.reddit.com/r/GaylorSwift/comments/1etoots/tily_master_evidence_powerpoint_deck/
I wanted to drop a link to the tily master evidence deck I wrote and say how grateful I am for your incredible repository of evidence. I mention some of this in the final credit slide of the deck, but TN was invaluable for deep background and constructing the timeline and knowing what to look for to cite original and third party sources. I couldn't have done such a massive deck without your work, so thank you so much for continuing to maintain and grow this phenomenal resource.
Deck: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1cPgu1n7Z7blXHCQJq82fr1aE3yzUoSxSVtG7bauTyt8/edit?usp=sharing
Hi! Thank you! I have not seen the PowerPoint yet but I will definitely check it out!

Hi Jen! I so enjoy your fic recs, but I was wondering if I could get a different kind of rec? I recently started listening to podcasts again and I just feel like there are so many and I have no idea where to go now that I finished all of serial. It doesnt have to be true crime based, I'm willing to give anything a try as long as the host isnt obnoxious!
Hello! I'm gonna let you in on a little secret--generally speaking, I refuse to pay for digital shit, so with spotify, I listen to the free version, and then when they try to break my spirit with commercials or not letting me skip songs, I switch to pods, which are blessedly, REMARKABLY ad-free, so I actually do have a few recs for things I've listened to and enjoyed. These aren't exhaustive, they're in different places, and I tend to just bounce around a lot depending on the guest, but I pretty much like these hosts and have enjoyed the random bits I've heard enough to check in for updates. I really do need some more pod recs myself (hint hint) because they're good for walking and not paying spotify fucking DIME ONE in terms of cash money or frustration, so here's a 5 + 1 (hey!!!) in no particular order:
Table Manners. Okay, I lied, THIS IS MY FAVE, it's tops of any list I have, where else can you listen to a popstar and her mum interview people like Dolly Parton, Nick Grimshaw, Nigella, Liam Payne, Mel and Sue, the mayor of London, Rick Astley, Kylie, Dua Lipa, Dermot O'fucking-LEARY and a million other people about food and family and everything else? They are wonderful, and I beam like an idiot when I walk/listen, especially when they fight with each other.
What I Will Say. My beloved Gaylor podcast...and what I will say is that Cam (the host) is a delight, but you'll want to pick and choose the episodes you listen to about how gay Taylor Swift is on main because not all are as gold as the tattoo on Lily Donaldson's wrist that absolutely matches up with the Tily timeline.
Disgraceland. Tbh, I'm not a big crime podcast fan, and this one can be REALLY disconcerting at times, but if you're into some true-life crime stories about musicians and the horrific, oft-unresolved stories of their deaths and/or personal drug scandals, this one could be your jam!
Grounded with Louis Theroux. There's something about Louis's deadpan, laid back, frankly lazy style mixed in with the way he's secretly VERY thorough and on top of his shit that mixes well with all his guests (I can't even pick my fave, but if I could listen to approximately 25 more hours, it would be with Leah Rimini because they both have dealt with Scientology, and they're both hilarious about it, but trust me, he's 10 for 10 with everyone, even Ruby Wax).
Sex and Lies and DM Slides. This one I love because it's so weirdly niche, it feels SO INCREDIDBLY '90s Britpop cocaine socialism, etc., that I'm always wondering if the guest is going to have THE perfect Kate Moss/Pete Dougherty anecdote, but I've listened to two episodes so far, and I really enjoyed them both, so who am I to judge? Retro, let's just say! Maybe it'll bother me when I'm caught up on other pods, but the Lou Teasdale and Raven Smith eps were standouts.
Keep It! This one's on my "to listen to" list, so it could be godawful, but I'm intrigued with the variety of topics...that said, everyone loves/recs the New York Times popcast, and I find it insufferable, so we'll have to just see how fast I delete it!
