The ULTIMATE LSK Thread Of Koincidences
I've decided to piece together all the Koincidences that I could find since fall 2019.
It's easy to not understand LSKs when you haven't seen all the flagging that they've been doing, especially with how the Lover Era went as well as Folkmore. But once you start to piece all those hints together in a timeline, it paints a pretty clear picture.
I've spent hours in both their social medias pages and searching for Timelines done by other amazing blogs on here.
I'll credit when needed and link to the timelines.
I'm used to doing threads on Twitter and posting everything, not just link. I'll do the same here because I've notice that a lot of posts linked into timelines on here were deleted. This way all the informations are in one place.
If there's things that I missed, don't hesitate to tell me and I'll update the thread!
IMPORTANT: I've linked all the important piece of Kaylor Lore when necessary for you to better understand the references. So when there's a (X) beside something, it's a link to more informations about that subject to help you better understand.
August 2019:
August 3rd: Karlie's birthday. Taylor posts the famous Bi Hearts Crispies Treats, that will star in the Lover Lyrics Video later too.
Tumblr media
August 8th: Taylor is on the Cover of Vogue.
She is wearing a Cartier Love Ring. Karlie wears one too, she has wore it for a very long time now (years before this article) on her right ring finger.
Right ring finger is used by LGBTQ+ couples for marriage or to indicate that the person is in a serious relationship.
Karlie has been wearing hers a lot more (in almost all her pictures) since summer 2022. (X)
And it's the very definition of Love Locked Down (X)
On the website it says: "Lock in your love forever" (X)
Tumblr media
August 16th: Lover is out as a single exactly 13 days after Karlie's birthday The lyrics video is completely filled with Kaylor's references. I did a thread on Twitter (X). Also, Lover lasts 3:41, wich is 143 backwards = I Love You.
Tumblr media
August 18:
Karlie was listening to Lover on repeat on Spotify.
It was even reported by Taylor's news accounts on Twitter:
Tumblr media
August 22:
Lover MV is out. Taylor uses the You Are In Love lyrics to announced it.
Confirming that it was inspired by those lyrics: "You two are dancing in a snow globe round and round" wich are a reference to VSFS 2013.
I will not do MV analysis in this thread because it will never end if I start. But I'll link them when I have.
Tumblr media
Septembre 2019:
Septembre 9th :
Paris City Of Lover Concert.
The mural on the stage is extremely Kaylor Coded.
Here's a post I did about this (X)
Tumblr media
Septembre 27th:
Eye theory reference by Karlie on Instagram
Ps: On this thread I'll refer to only the ones I find very clear, because there's so much.
If you don't know about The Eye Theory, it's a piece of lore extremely important. Here's a post I did about it (X).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Septembre 29th:
Karlie does a post leaving Paris and saying "Au Revoir" wich is oddly similar to a post Taylor did in May that year.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Octobre 2019:
Octobre 2nd:
Karlie talks in one of her Klossy video on YouTube about the time she cut her hair short. How at first she was insecure about it.
And she talks about the 2013 VSFS where it was the first time that she walked with her hair short.
And she says that people would come to her to say that they wanted the same haircut.... like Taylor did.
youtube
Tumblr media
Octobre 29th:
Taylor posts on her Instagram about the International Cat Day. Karlie liked the post. (I'm pretty sure it's the last Taylor's post ever that she'd like).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Novembre 2019:
Novembre 13th:
Kaylor meeting anniversary (X)
Taylor:
The Lover Remix with Shawn Mendez is out.
There's the new line written by Taylor : "Look into my eyes they will tell you the truth, the girl in my story has always been you".
The Lover and the heart on her eye are now gold. (X)
The lyrics video is on a snow globe now, throwback to YAIL.
She announces the new remix all over New York's billboards.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Karlie
She releases a Klossy video where she shows what's on her phone.
And you see a sequence where she answers a group chat nammed BFFs, and Taylor is in it. (You see her Lover Instagram pfp of the time).
youtube
Novembre 24th:
Karlie announces on Instagram a new community phone number that you can use to text her.
And if you do... the text you receive says: "all other texts are coming from ME!"...
Also...Eye Theory.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Novembre 25th :
Taylor performs Lover at the AMA.
During the number, there's a ballerina dancing that seems to always want to go toward Taylor but keeps coming back to the man instead.
There's even a moment where she's drawn back to the man and hit him to run back to Taylor, but he brings her back to him.
The Ballerina is Misty Copeland. (and here's the scene described above)
Tumblr media
Source of the video: iwanthermidnightz (X)
In April 2017 Karlie said in an interview for Love Magazine with Derek Blasberg that she was fan on Misty Copeland. (X)
Ballet is VERY important for Karlie since she was young.
Misty follows both Karlie and Taylor on Instagram
Tumblr media
And in 2021, she wore a "Like a Kloss" shirt on pictures she posted.
Tumblr media
Decembre 2019:
Decembre 4th:
Kissgate anniversary (X)
Taylor wears the Victoria Secret Angel Ring.
She wore this ring for the first time on Octobre 23rd 2016, the last time Karlie and Taylor were papped together at an event (Drake's birthday) AKA 2190 days exactly since Midnights release (Glitch).
See my Love Blackout post for more informations (X) She wore it ever since at important events to signal Karlie.
Tumblr media
Decembre 10th:
Taylor post Cats promotion on Instagram with picture of her through a giant door.
The next episode of Project Runway, Karlie walks though a giant door the same way for a Cats promo.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Decembre 11th:
Eye Theory post on Karlie's Instagram
Tumblr media
Decembre 17th:
Karlie post a video on Klossy where she mentions falconery, seemingly out of context with what she was saying. And put an accent on it by having a Falcon animation.
youtube
Wich is interesting because back in August, Taylor released the Lover Lyrics Video with a lot of Kaylor references (see the link I put back in august).
But on that video, there's a reference to their Big Sur second trip (X)
With a picture of Taylor holding a falcon.
Decembre 31st:
Karlie post a collection of her Vogue covers on Instagram.
And there's the one that she did with Taylor. (X)
Tumblr media
There you have it!
Fall of 2019.
It's pretty loud but honnestly in the Timeline, it's the less loud period of all.
Things gets REALLY interesting toward 2020-2021 and SUPER loud in 2022 and SCREAMS in 2023.
I'll continue this thread tomorrow but rebloging and adding to it years by years.
If there's things I missed don't hesitate to tell me so I'll add it!
I'll probably edit this to add things if there's things I forgot. I'll note everytime something is added.
This Masterpost helped me make this part (X)
The 2020 Part 1 is ready here (X)

Golden
Golden and Fine Line are the bookends of the album and written first. Golden is so joyous, but also asking his muse to let him in, in Fine Line they cross the friendship line and the album ends on an uncertain note but 'we'll be alright'.
I have watched this video more than I'll ever admit, I love it so much. This section where he's running as hard as he can to catch up to her:
Tumblr media
This is similar to this part of As it was, it tells of their break ups, hook ups, careers happen and he loses her, stops trying to catch up and runs alone, devastated (before he lets go of the past and dances off):
Tumblr media
The film clip was in September 2020, 2 years after writing the song.
Writing
To Rolling Stone:
Tumblr media
That places it around September 2018, after he broke up with Camille and the events of Fine Line(/Cruel Summer.)
To Zane Lowe, Harry said he started with an idea for the album but not the release date in mind. Harry talked about having a plan for future albums but he took Tyler's advice to make Fine Line the record he wanted to make now as opposed to what was planned. This is interesting because:
October 2012 - While they were dating, the Red Liner notes foreshadow a future album that included 'love shines golden'
August 2019 - Lover is released on the 13th year of her career, before her 30th birthday, ending on "Love is Golden like Daylight"
13 December 2019 - on Taylors 30th Birthday Fine Line is released, opening with 'You're so Golden, take me back to the light'.
Lyrics
[Intro] Hey! [Verse 1] Golden, golden, golden as I open my eyes Hold it, focus, hoping, take me back to the��light I know you were way too bright for me I'm hopeless, broken, so you wait for me in the sky Brown my skin just right You're so golden
In the first verse is depicted in the film clip, working as hard as he can to win back this person with his own success and love for them. He often describes his muse as in the sky (here), chasing clouds (Story of my Life, Late night talking MV) and "I'm on the roof, you're in your airplane seat" in Daylight, also that MV has him climbs down a ladder in the sky.
[Verse 2] I don't wanna be alone I don't wanna be alone when it ends Don't wanna let you know I don't wanna be alone But I can feel it take a hold (I can feel it take a hold) I can feel you take control (I can feel you take control) Of who I am, and all I've ever known Lovin' you's the antidote Golden
The second verse is moving from desiring the muse to being vulnerable, As it was is more direct on this saying that "In this world, it's just us / You know it's not the same as it was" which means this muse is the only person for him. To me, that person is Taylor and there is an overtone of being isolated by fame here and finding someone who feels like home in an unmanageable life.
Thank you @womanexile for highlighting Anitdote which Harry refers to in:
Every since New York: " Choose your words 'cause there's no antidote / For this curse. Oh, what's it waiting for?"
Daylight: "You got the antidote / I'll take one to go, go, please"
And in One Directions End of the Day also likened being apart as an illness " You're the one that I want at the end of the day / She said the night was over, I said it's forever/ 20 minutes later, wound up in the hospital / The priest thinks it's the devil, my mum thinks it's the flu / But, girl, it's only you"
[Chorus] You're so golden I don't wanna be alone You're so golden You're so golden I'm out of my head, and I know that you're scared Because hearts get broken [Bridge] (Golden, golden, golden, golden)x7 I know that you're scared because I'm so open
I think Fine Line overall, and Harry's House to a greater degree show maturing. When talking to Zane about Cherry Harry said: "In the moment I felt like I was realizing some stuff about being more open and not being, like 'I don't care'".
I think, where the 1D songs are about young love and the debut songs are like an open wound - it is not until Fine Line he started to look with some distance on what was lost.

Taylor Swift and Joe Jonas Masterpost (Toe/Jaylor)
Before dating (May 2008)
We start with the Taylor lookalike
In May 2008 the Jonas Brothers are filming their music video for Burnin’ Up [x]. Joe’s love interest in it is played by a blonde girl who looks quite a bit (and she’s also styled) like Taylor Swift, for reference, this is the music video that has Selena Gomez as Nick Jonas’ love interest.
As far as we know they hadn’t even met so we don’t know exactly what this was supposed to mean, maybe Joe had a crush on Taylor or maybe it’s a coincidence.
We do know that Nick and Selena were dating when this was filmed and that by the time the MV was released (July 4th, 2008) Joe and Taylor were officially dating.
Toe is alive! (July 2008 – September 2008)
On Tour
Fans claim to have seen Taylor around the tour in early July, which matches with Taylor’s lyrics in "Last Kiss".
Tumblr media
Last Kiss. Taylor Swift.
I do recall now the smell of the rain
Fresh on the pavement, I ran off the plane
That July 9th, the beat of your heart
It jumps through your shirt
Tumblr media
On July 14th, Taylor and The Jonas Brothers perform “Should’ve Said No”[x] from her debut album, and this performance now forever exists in their 3D movie (a classic), a cute fact is that some fans have said that Taylor tripped when she first came out, so they had to repeat it for the movie.
On July 20th Joe flies to Wyoming to watch Taylor opening up for Rascal Flatts, and they flew back and she was spotted at the Omaha show.
She’s seen in a couple shows more and she joins the stage again for their Madison Square Garden shows in August [x]. They sing “Even now just looking at you feels wrong”.
They’re together but they’re not together.
For more context, we must remember that Taylor was a very new artist from a small label and The Jonas were pretty much at their peak and Disney’s biggest act, and they were managed like crazy and could never even think about being seen with someone in a romantic way. Any rumors were denied so fast, and Disney did the absolute most to keep it secret. So according to everyone they were just good friends, at the time both Taylor and Selena were annoyed by all the secrecy.
Now back to the timeline:
Taylor is backstage of the tour A LOT for the next couple of weeks right next to the other not-girlfriends Selena and Danielle.
She films a cameo for the “Love Is on Its Way” [x] video for the concert in New York. She was said to be only interested in hanging out with Joe and they were seen hugging *gasp* I know it doesn’t seem like much now but back then this was the hottest gossip and again the Jonas were not supposed to breathe near any human of the opposite gender.
Tumblr media
Taylor and the Jonas were staying at the same hotel a bunch of rumors ensued, but I will not talk about the whole Olympics and Toe locking themselves in a room at midnight thing. If it’s real, we really needed to touch some grass and stop staying outside of people's rooms all night.
On August 17th Joe goes to Ryan Seacrest's show and denied that Taylor is his girlfriend in the best way a corporation like Disney can train you to deny something that’s true. Saying Taylor is “a great girl and I think anybody would be lucky to date her. I think anybody would love to go on a date with her.”
And Taylor tells People Magazine “He’s an amazing guy and anybody would be lucky to be dating him” Cinematic parallels.
Taylor is spotted in the back (in a mirror) of one of the Jonas youtube videos [x]. Basically, we all knew they were together.
The Central Park date (August 28th)
Tumblr media
Now if you were a fan of either the Jonas Brothers, Selena, or Taylor you know this next part and it the iconic triple date of Central Park.
Again, this is kind of famous at this point and Selena has been quoted saying how awful it was because the boys were not allowed to be seen with them so they all went to Central Park (Selena’s first time in Central Park) and Taylor and Selena walked about 20 feet of distance from the guys so nobody would think they were together but we all already knew because it wasn’t like they were that good at hiding it and there are pictures of them together that night (the clownery of it all).
These backstage tour adventures are the reason Taylor and Selena are friends today and in Selena’s own words the best thing to come out of those relationships.
VMAs (September 2008)
With how many pictures of them together that night [x] [x] [x] exist you would think they had gone together as a couple but no just two besties! The 2008 VMAs are so the show where Russell Brand mocks the Jonas Brothers and their purity rings and Taylor publicly defends them.
Toe seems happy for the rest of September but as we know now the end is near.
The Break-Up (October 2008)
Tumblr media
Social Media was different back then and Taylor did what every teen girl with a broken heart did in 2008 and she went to myspace with an edited post to make a statement about the Toe current situation.
Post-Breakup
The 27 seconds Joe Jonas will regret for the rest of his life.
Taylor went on Ellen and I don’t even think I need to say much this interview is THAT iconic she sat on that couch and told the world exactly how Joe had broken her heart in the following two quotes:
“There’s one that’s about that guy, but…that guy’s not in my life anymore unfortunately. That guy…that’s an ouch.”
“I’m not even gonna be able to remember the boy who broke up with me over the phone in 25 seconds when I was 18…it was like 27 seconds, that’s got to be a record.” [x]
Tumblr media
She also went on Ryan Seacrest’s and when asked about the perfect guy she saw an opportunity and took it, saying “I used to always say sense of humor, but I think that it’s important to have the same kind of sense of humor. I have a really dry, sarcastic sense of humor and if somebody doesn’t think that my sense of humor is funny, then that’s not something that is good. Um, so sometimes you know, that can be a wrong match. If they’re not allowed to go in public with me, that’s sort of an issue too.” [x]
Bonus the amazing youtube video Taylor posted with Joe’s Camp Rock doll and how he comes with his own phone to break up with other dolls [x]. Taylor eventually went full out and cited Camilla Belle (then girlfriend of Joe) as the reason for the breakup. And you know someone at Disney’s PR office wanted to die when this was going down.
Tumblr media
So finally, Joe was forced to acknowledge the whole situation with a Myspace post:
"I never cheated on a girlfriend. It might make someone feel better to assume or imply I have been unfaithful, but it is simply not true. Maybe there were reasons for a breakup. Maybe the heart moved on. Perhaps feelings changed. I am truly saddened that anything would potentially cause you to think less of me. For those who have expressed concern over the "27 second” phone call. I called to discuss feelings with the other person. Those feelings were obviously not well received. I did not end the conversation. Someone else did. Phone calls can only last as long as the person on the other end of the line is willing to talk. “
Forever & Always
Now this song is known as THE Toe song and it was born out of the end of the relationship when she felt Joe was getting distant, but she couldn’t do anything to help it, it was made really late into the production of Fearless so she had to rush to finish it in time (so no other breakup songs are about Joe in the original album).
Forever & Always Was I out of line? Did I say something way too honest, made you run and hide Like a scared little boy I looked into your eyes Thought I knew you for a minute, now I’m not so sure
In the 2009 Grammy's Taylor and Miley (insert The Ex-Girlfriends Club Theory here) performed Fifteen (obviously not about Joe) and the Jonas were in the audience. I believe this is probably around the time Taylor writes Mr. Perfectly Fine and You All Over Me, which we know get to have thanks to Fearless (Taylor’s Version) 13 years later.
You All Over Me
The best and worst day of June
Was the one that I met you
With your hands in your pockets
And your 'don't you wish you had me' grin
But I did, so I smiled, and I melted like a child
Now every breath of air I breathe reminds me of then
Mr. Perfectly Fine
'Cause I hear he's got his arm 'round a brand-new girl
I've been pickin' up my heart, he's been pickin' up her
And I never got past what you put me through
But it's wonderful to see that it never phased you
In November of 2009, she also goes to SNL and mocks Joe in her monologue. "You might think I'd bring up Joe That guy who broke up with me on the phone But I'm not gonna mention him *rolls eyes* In my monologue [Spoken:]Hey Joe, I'm doing real well, tonight I'm hosting SNL [Sings:]But I'm not gonna brag about that In my monologue [x]"
To make things even more dramatic and very awkward The Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato, and Taylor Swift spent NYE together watching the ball drop on TV and this was probably not how they wanted to start their years. [x] [x] [x] and a video [x]
Now let’s discussed some of the songs that came out at the time. The Jonas response to Forever & Always was Much Better. Nick described it as a song that was very personal to Joe and Joe went on to say that it was based on his very interesting year. They also at some point wanted to pretend the song was about their love for their fans but come on. Joe also changed the lyrics from ‘superstar’ to ‘country star’ and later changed it to ‘movie stars’ when he broke up with Camilla who is the ‘Much Better’ girl from the song.
Tumblr media
Much Better - Jonas Brothers
I get a rep for breakin’ hearts
Now I’m done with superstars
And all the tears on her guitar
I’m not bitter
But now I see
Everything I’d ever need
Is the girl in front of me
She’s much better
Taylor’s iconic response in Better Than Revenge seems to be more of an attack on Camilla. She’s spoken about her regret for this song since then and hasn’t played it in years and Camilla seems to be ok we never forgiving her for it [x] [x]. Regardless this song remains a staple of the genre ‘Feminism OFF, Bops ON’.
“I was 18 when I wrote [“Better Than Revenge.”] That’s the age you are when you think someone can actually take your boyfriend. Then you grow up and realize no one can take someone from you if they don’t want to leave”. - Taylor 2014.
Tumblr media
Better Than Revenge - Taylor Swift
Let's hear the applause (Come on, come on)
Come on, show me how much better you are
(So much better, yeah?)
See you deserve some applause
'Cause you're so much better
She also released "Last Kiss" about the nicer part of their relationship, and some believe other songs such as If This Was a Movie, Haunted (Speak Now) and Jump Then Fall (Fearless) are about Joe. From the Jonas, the other song believed to be about Taylor is Paranoid (Lines, Vines and Trying Times).
Jump Then Fall
Well, I like the way your hair falls in your face
You got the keys to me
I love each freckle on your face, oh
I've never been so wrapped up, honey
Probably a song was written about and in the early days of their romance and the long hair freckles [x] thing definitely fits 2008 Joe.
If This Was a Movie
Baby, what about the ending?
Oh, I thought you'd be here by now
Thought you'd be here by now
According to some this song is a sister song to "Last Kiss" in the same album and that is confirmed to be about Joe.
Haunted
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong
Won't finish what you started
This song would be a sister to Forever & Always since Taylor described both to be about a relationship that was fading in the end and that she was confused as to how they got there in the first place.
"‘Haunted’ is about the moment that you realize the person you’re in love with is drifting and fading fast. And you don’t know what to do, but in that period of time, in that phase of love, where it’s fading out, time moves so slowly. Everything hinges on what that last text message said, and you’re realizing that he’s kind of falling out of love. That’s a really heartbreaking and tragic thing to go through because the whole time you’re trying to tell yourself it’s not happening. I went through this, and I ended up waking up in the middle of the night writing this song about it.” Taylor
Friendlier days are coming (2010- )
I guess time can heal a lot of wounds and Toe is seen hugging and on friendly terms at the Clive Davis party on January 31st of 2010 [x].
The world was so shocked when we realized that Joe went to see her perform in a couple of her shows in September 2011 [x] [x], and in here Holy Ground is born about her new evaluation of their former relationship rather than the bitterness of the breakup. The lyrics' secret message is “when you came to the show in SD” and the potential parallel to "Last Kiss".
Holy Ground - Taylor Swift
We blocked the noise with the sound of ‘I need you’
And for the first time I had something to lose
And I guess we fell apart in the usual way
And the story’s got dust on every page
But sometimes I wonder how you think about it now
And I see your face in every crowd…
… Tonight, I'm gonna dance
For all that we've been through
But I don't wanna dance
If I'm not dancing with you
Last Kiss - Taylor Swift
I do remember the swing of your step
The life of the party, you’re showing off again
And I roll my eyes and then
You pull me in
I’m not much for dancing
But for you I did
They're seen talking in the MTV's EMA's 2012 [x].
From here they seem to be friendly and in May of 2015 after the Billboards. They even go on a double date later that year with Gigi Hadid, Calvin Harris, and Karlie Kloss (this picture feels so cursed). Nick and Joe get invited to Taylor’s 4th of July party and they seem somewhat distant after his split from Gigi.
Present (2020- )
In 2020, we got the amazing surprise of folklore with the song ‘Invisible String’ that makes a reference to Taylor’s past songs about exes being harsh and how she sent Joe and his wife Sophie Turner a present for their baby girl’s birth. In 2021, she has now released the re-recordings of Fearless and we are all reliving the drama and enjoying the chaos of Taylor’s and Sophie’s friendship not letting Joe know peace for those 27 seconds over a decade ago.
Invisible String
Cold was the steel of my axe to grind
For the boys who broke my heart
Now I send their babies presents

Depressing Post Incoming
I've had a lot of things happen in my life. Who hasn't?
It's only been until recently that I've realized that maybe I'm weak to situations that greatly impact me. Truthfully, I feel very comfortable saying it here since no one knows me here but since I was in high school, I had acquired a drug addiction that had been on and off for the total span of 10 years. I had always thought that maybe it wasn't and that it was coincidental that I would always come back to it but it didn't hit me until a three years ago, when I almost killed myself.
I think some part of me had always been hiding from reality since the passing of my grandmother and I hid through the addiction. Then my brother who taught me most of what I know, someone I looked up to, moved faraway. So about five years ago, I was really, really lost. I thought I was on top of the world fighting everything by myself and by accident, my ex showed me kpop. A genre I really despised at the time. The same ex had introduced me to BAP when we had dated many years back but I hadn't delved much into it.
By this accident I came to realize that the music really resonated with me and I felt free despite being in this horrible trance. I threw myself further and further. Then by some chance delved into BAP and I felt real freedom. I didn't even know why but I just connected to them. I came to a stark conclusion that the relationship I was in was toxic, that I had other things and that I truly had a problem that, for the time, wasn't going away. So with the help of BAP I tried to fight it. I became depressed, looking for anyone to help me, I felt useless but Bang Yongguk released AM 4:44 and found I wasn't alone. I wasn't alone struggling to get out of this depression, addiction, loneliness, whatever it was.
Still in my addiction, I tried to climb out paying attention only to Yongguk's voice at the time. He spoke a lot of truth that it resonated with me and I clung to it in my darkest of days. I found out he was the composer for most of BAP's songs (something I didn't know because I was only listening to tbe music but not paying attention to it all) and began paying attention.
By then Wake Me Up had released and I cried when Yongguk came back because he gave me a path to follow. A path I truly wanted to pave myself out. I listened to it day in and day out. Dystopia even, to get me out of this addiction that became habit, became an everyday way of life that I didn't know was killing me until it almost did.
I lost consciousness and didn't wake until a day later to have no recollection of anything. That was the breaking point for me and by then Honeymoon had released. To this day I find it hilariously coincidental that everything happened in this weird pattern.
When BAP announced they were going their separate ways, a part of me shattered for this reason. The group that helped me and especially, the voice that guided me out and helped me find myself again; I wouldn't hear anymore.... Or so I thought. Until with time, Yongguk released his first solo album. By that point I had become almost two years sober. I've never been more happy than to hear the same voice that clung to, to hear those lyrics that I do wanted to hear. Holding the album in my hands meant the world to me. To think that had it not been for one group, six members and this one leader that I probably wouldn't be here to tell my story. At least a short version of it.
When EGO released I came to realize there was more to myself than I thought. I grew to live myself, I grew to enjoy life and everything that came with it. I wanted more for myself than ever before and I was going to fight for it.
So what's all this? I've told my story one I haven't told anyone. It's so that one day when I find myself lost again, because as dark as it sounds, I feel like that day will come again. Probably sooner than I'd like to think. That one day I'll look back and read this to talk some sense into myself because it's going to be a while before I hear that voice again.
No words can describe how much I cried during Yongguk's Orange Drive MV. For many reasons. First, he enlisted, which although we all knew it was coming; it was sudden and too fast. Second, I remembered how he too said he had wanted to put an end to his life but didn't because of the fans. Thirdly, he came to love himself something we never heard before and it touched me so deeply. And forth, because I wouldn't be able to have someone to hold on to, to look back on but it's okay. I know now that I'm better than what I was. I know now that I can do it on my own.
I promised myself I would never go back to that place. Mental health is something I never thought I dealt with but it turns out that I was a victim to it. It's real. It's powerful and we can fight it. Whether it's music, writing or any hobby, there's always something to fight it. Whether someone and anyone can help you through it. For me it was music and an artist that respect no matter what. For me, I wish I hadn't isolated myself. For me, I wish I had surrounded myself with people who cared. But now I'm stronger than before and we learn through these things. I've made peace with my demons.
Tumblr media
So even though I've done this so many times, I want to thank a group of people.
Tumblr media
And this man who probably never realized how many people he's helped with his music. With his lyrics. With his words. With his kindness. With his help, I wouldn't have been here. I wouldn't be alive to tell this tale of mine. I wouldn't have the courage to do so.
Tumblr media
Thank you for everything
Thank you for saving me
Thank you for keeping me here
Thank you for sharing your story
It's time to tell mine
Thank You And See You Later

Solo debut : 2014
Must- listen songs : Move, Pretty boy, siyonara hitori, press your number
Skills : professional dancer.
Friends : Exo Kai and bts Jimin
Ships : taekai, 2min, jongtae
2008
That bowl cut at Replay era . He was so smol. He hadn't hit puberty at that time. So he had baby cheeks and double eye lids, that innocent smile. He was so skinny it was almost funny that he is in an idol band. Nowadays even young ones know how to build up thier body. He was only 16 at that time, yet he looked like a 3rd Grader.
2009
Then came the ring Ding Dong era. With his hair pushed up and forehead showing. Taemin had a diffrent auro to him then. Not grown up, but controlled in his expressions. That gaze tho!!
2010
Bitchh then came the LUCIFER. If you tell me that wasn't themlst iconic SHINee phase?!?. Taemin came with his hair flowing like a river. He had the most feminine image ever since the debut. But this time, he held it in his hands and threw it like a confetti. He was mistaken as a girl numerous times during that era. He was so feminine yet when he danced. The world litrelly burned out. It was one of the most difficult choreographies in kpop. Tae being the lead dancer danced like a pro and took Kpop by a storm. Under those long red hair was a piercing eyes by our makne, who people realized is not a maknae anymore.
2011
Shinee's Japan debut. Taemin rpcked the f out of japan with his vocals and dance
Without a doubt, his dance in replay's jap. Ver. Was way better than it was in replay kor. Ver. What a diffrence those 3 years made.
2012
Sherlock and dazzling girl were released. I am not a huge fan of sherlock since it didn't gave me those vibes. But taemim give his all in dazzling girl. That song was crzy with taemin's dance, vocals and looks. Those velvet sweaters and well-cut hair. He looks like a diva more than any other time.
2013
This is rhe era that got me crashing into Taemim. Boys meet you, hello, these two songs were released and took thier placr in my heart. Taemin had that boysih feminine image in boys meet you. With that cute bow tie hanging around his neck. Than in hello he danced like a king which made me heavy af.
Taemin has worked so hard in all of the songs in this year.
2014
Everybody was released. Taemin had lost his baby look and came forward as a strong idol with multiple colors. His dance and music changed the Kpop forever and introduced many people to kpop.
He released his solo album called ACE! Rocked the hell outta world with this song.
2015
View came. So did taemin with his beautiful contacts and boysih image. He had those well cut hairstyle. With love sick, he gave the image of a dongseng who has turned into an oppa over the years. Which exactly happend to him. He was stronger than ever. It was one of the most beautiful taemin's images. Vocals and dance and music everything was incorporated perfectly to him.
Dxdxd was taemin's song, hands down! He danced and danced his heart out and gave that sexy lick aura about him.
2016.
Drip drop, press your number, siyonara hitori!!!! These songs are iconic and marked the most successful career of solo kpop. He marketed the whole SM with his comeback and had the title of a amazing soloist.
SHINEE came with 1 of 1. And taemin came with 80s look inside the look of a gentleman. His high note and dance was best as ever.
Winter wonderland. If you ask me the most aesthetic shinee song. I will pick this one. Taemin'a japanese is the best among all membera and he worked so good in this mv. With music and dance and beautiful views. This was perfect.
2017
Flame of love had the aesthetics and music any taemint can ask for. He looked perfect and fiery. A love song draped in a sexy aura. This song was a perfect combo to taemin's spersonality.
Move by taemin trended all over the world. He depictwd a feminine yet a manly image of an idol and looked aethetic. He won so many awards for this.
The biggeat meme of 2017.
