Taylor's Betty Speech (June 10):
And you know when I would try and come up with their names, it was just easiest for me to pull names from my real life. The names that were actually named after real people that I love very much were James, Inez and Betty!
Speech before singing Mine (talking about Speak Now)
I talk a lot about how folklore was the first time I was writing about characters and stuff, but actually Speak Now I was inventing scenarios that definitely weren't happening in my life. I wrote this song Speak Now about interrupting a wedding of an ex and like.. I was 18 when I wrote that. None of my exes were getting married. I never interrupted a wedding, it was just a fantasy. And I think that's one of my favorite things about Speak Now, it was so fantasy, it was so fantastical, I think it was the first time I was thinking in cinematic, you know 'this isn't my life', but what if it were? Like watching a movie, and trying to write what those characters might be feeling. I say this because I wanna play a song, that when I wrote it I was writing about all these relationship things that haven't happened to me. There's drawer of my things at your place, and thing like that. And working through fights and not just breaking up. Anyway, so those were things I was not par-taking in at 18 and 19, when I wrote these songs. It's been such a privilege and such a treat to go back and re-record them 'cause relating to them now.. it's really crazy to go back and listen to these songs that at the time were a fantasy but now feel really relatable to me. And um... this is called MINE.
Ok ok ok
1) Unintentional Gaylor/Kaylor—“they moved OUT” Into the Daylight 🥹
2) LOOOOOK at this video someone took of the Lover house and Taylor exiting it—THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS—whoever made the Alice in Wonderland connection with 🎃 here’s more evidence
delicate, glendale night 2 march 18th
I know we’ve talked about the locket in this city of lover art before, but have we talked about the dice that say 3/6?
I’m sure someone must have already pointed this out?? But I missed it until just now.
'Cause we never go out of style!!! 😎
Wait for it!!! 🌼❤☀️

None of these images belong to me.
I’m sobbing
I saw that Met post you posted and I never saw that article of Karlie. So what’s the actual story because Karlie said that they did meet in 2011 and talked about baking at Met Gala but I thought they always went with the story that they met at VSFS. Did they talk at Met but then didn’t hang out again until VSFS?
Previous post + (Link to the article of Karlie mentioning meeting Tay at the Met)
That's what i'm curious about too anon! I'm not entirely sure why they pushed the narrative of officially meeting at the VSFS 2013. Maybe someday we'll know exactly why. Maybe their Met Gala 2011 meeting was not the right time bc one (or both) of them were already in a relationship.. maybe they did stay in contact and was friendly with each other even before VSFS. Iirc, there was a rep secret session thing where taylor talks about how her and "joe" got together? (Not sure if these are the exact screenshots, i just googled it quickly)
"Later on, they met up again but things turned romantic" - hence maybe why they emphasized on VSFS '13? 😊 I feel like Taylor was talking about her actual history with Karlie here. Joe has always been the Karlie stand-in, the fact that Toe's "first meeting" was at the Met??? Mimicking Kaylor's first actual (recorded) meeting at the Met Gala 2011? And then the "next time they met things turned romantic" mimicking Kaylor's "official" meeting at VSFS?? None of it was accidental.🤭
gonna need therapy after this
