HAPPY GAY SUNDAY EVERYONE!

Maybe one day we can write a whole post to talk about this once and for all. For the anons who think MTR is too sad to be about Scott B. Let me explain what he did.

1. He was absolutely pretty instrumental to Taylor’s success in the beginning. He was behind her during her war against streaming services (“when I’d fight, you used to tell me I was brave”), for instance, and he was like family.

2. As Taylor rose to fame she wanted more freedom - artistic freedom. That’s how and when their relationship started going downhill - Taylor having too many disagreements with the label, about what music to put out what album covers to use etc. She also wanted to own her art. Scott B of course always thought TS owed him part of her success and his egomaniac self can’t swallow her rebel against him. He held the masters card over her head for YEARS - this is the power and control he had over her - she could buy them back only if she signed her future away to him. She left. Just check out Scott’s interview shortly after she left - it tells you all you need to know about how hurt his ego felt. “cursing my name, wishing I’d stayed”.

3. His resentment turned to revenge. 🛴 tried for years to ruin Taylor’s career and he had control over KK. Just think about how Ari tried to get rid of him but couldn’t. This is really bad stuff. The sunset clause and whatnot. Now, what does Scott selling her masters to 🛴 really mean? It means everything important to Taylor - her art and her love are all under 🛴’s control. And, he also gets to benefit from it. When TS comes out, her art will be worth more, and 🛴 will be the one benefiting from that too. This whole sale is about control and power and a revenge. It’s not just about money. It’s about screwing over TS and KK.

4. Taylor didn’t write “the best people in life are free” in her early 20s for her fans to doubt just how much she wanted to be free and how much she was oppressed. She wanted to live her truth. The masters sale was 2 assholes flexing their power and telling her “you’ll never be free”. “Rebel and you will be punished”. (See what happened in Nov 2019).

The above is just what we know, there probably is a lot more bad stuff we’ll never know. ittg tells the same story as MTR (kids are her albums, dinner gets cold is when the relationship goes downhill, begging is her literally begging for years to own her art). You get the picture. LWYMMD mv contains a million easter eggs, and we are really beginning to see it’s much more about the bad blood between TS and her label than Kimye. “You” is mostly her label and the boss, Scott.

Now tell me, is MTR too sad to be about Scott B?

Anon you said it perfectly!!

i love whenever taylor does something because we get all excited and it’s like we all live under the same roof and we’re going to each other’s rooms to just scream about it

THERE.

FIXED. IT.

ISN'T. THAT. BETTER.

I’m really happy for Taylor. But I’m increasingly feeling like she’s chosen the closet life for the near future, or even long term. Same for Karlie. Whether or not they are together (which has honestly become irrelevant lately). Her giving Joe a shoutout at this career defining history making moment is really a bit much. (Just objectively speaking. It doesn’t bother me personally). And Aaron’s IG post giving him this much credit is agenda-y. Because I think there is no way Toe is a real couple or he somehow is a genius songwriter, Aaron must have done it to protect/help Taylor. But why is he trying so hard to help her secure her closet? Maybe she realized coming out isn’t worth it, because she loves making music in her current state (massive fans, focus on the music and not her personal life) so much and doesn’t want to risk it being taken away? At this point, I don’t think lying about her rs even bothers her that much. Because that’s a way for her to protect her real life with loved ones. What’s a 5 sec shoutout compared to living in peace? Just very disturbing to us fans. Tho.

I was shocked by the Joe mention at such an important moment, but she also backed herself into a corner by insisting on the WB thing. She’s also shared her an award win speech with CH before - another bearding travesty. It’s not unprecedented, just weird.

The aggressive bearding gives her more privacy, less salacious headlines, and maybe most importantly, obscures her work/life for everyone.

It used to be that we could listen to her album and have an idea of what was going on, knowing she’d written it relatively recently and given her history of aligning her work with her life. Starting with folklore, she’s given lyrics that conflict with her public persona big-time. She’s setting fans up for the idea that you can never tell the real story because she can write from any perspective at any time. Plausible deniability. It’s honestly brilliant and it’s why I really struggle to interpret her folklore-evermore.

I get it. I’m just sad because I’m tired of the asterisks on all her accomplishments. 

Look at how the damn headline for HER MAJOR, MAJOR, MAJOR WIN and the highlighted portion of her speech are about her fake boyfriend.

They made it about a man that is not even involved. It’s really fucking lame.

Please compare this to Beyonce’s headline by the same publication:

The injustice of it all??????

So, I was bored and look what I did ....

As you can see this I-C-O-N-I-C photo was from the Rep era so I decided to add Karlie's eyes on the picture ....

You know what's weird when I was adding the eyes, was how Karlie's fits perfectly on the "EYES" of Taylor, well as a Gaylor (I'm still like 50% a Kaylor shipper) I guess we somehow knew about the "eye-theory" on how the right eye (LEFT EYE MY GOSH, well, much like the right *LEFT* side of the face) was Karlie's and the left (RIGHT!!!!) was Tay's ....

This was the final edit .... It's amazing on how they seem to look alike .... Isn't it what they say on soulmates? LOL OR you are just what you eat, jk ....

well, here are the cropped photos for basis ....

This was the photo that I've used and I also made an edit where I put some part of the right (LEFT!!!!) side of the face and an edit where I just put the right eye (WELL, LEFT) from the I-C-O-N-I-C photo on to this picture.

right (LEFT, YOU DIMWIT) side of the face ....

just the right eye (LEFT!!!!) .... I MADE A MISTAKE LOL I'm dumb hahahaha

photos in gray scale ....

My loooord what is happening?! All this Taylor promo on ALL platforms. Olivia and Conan. Joe J pr stuff with Sophie that def has been allowed/pushed by Taylor. Josh deactivating. News about Karlie taking a step back from PR. Not a single word from/about Joe A. Lord have mercy we are in for a wild ass ride.

This is a me appreciation post. Shout out to me for fighting through the fog and emptiness to do what I love. Shout out to me even when I can’t do anything at all. Shout out to me for continuing to be kind to others even when it’s exhausting. Shout to me for refusing to fall to my dark thoughts.

If you reblog this, it’s about you now <3

if folkore and evermore didn't exist, i wouldn't be here as a taylor swift stan and a gaylor today

In the United States, women have fewer rights than gun owners.

It’s a very very sad day.

.... and they were classmates!!!! OH MY GOD, THEY WERE CLASSMATES!!!! 🙀🙀🙀🙀
