Your gateway to endless inspiration
taylor didn't write, "romance is not dead if you keep it just yours" and "I'll save all my romanticism for my inner life" for you to take any of her highly publicised relationships seriously. .Like do we really think tay would let a real relationship be THIS public. she never did before, so why would she start now?
I was listening to loml and I started thinking about jemily (the ship name of two female fbi agents, Emily and jj, on criminal minds). Jj left Emily when jj thought she was in love with her new husband, Jj ends up pregnant and now feels like she has to stay in the relationship. and in my mind it's the song Emily would associate with Jj.
It reminds me of Kaylor. Taylor is singing to Karli. she's the lost of Taylor's life.
In my mind, both Kaylor and Jemily found their way back together despite the husbands and kids.
I think as a gaylor, the song imgonnatogetyouback is INSANELY queer.
"im going to pull you into the closet" she's going to closet her lover. Taylor cant be out so if they want to be lovers, they have to stay in the closet.
"Say you got somebody, I'll say I got someone too" Taylor is talking about bearding, specifically kaylor bearding. karli has her fruity little husband and taylor has her fruity little football player.
"You knew the price going in" Karli knew they'd have to stay a secret to the general public. they couldn't be out.
"Once you fix your face, I'm going in" she's talking to Karli, theres no quotations around it. she is saying to someone, someone isn't saying it to her.
"Push the reset button, we're becoming something new" Her and Karli are starting a relationship again. Karli was at the LA N2 eras tour and was seen backstage going to Taylor, that's where it started again. Karli is in Paris right now. so is Taylor. it's still new. it's still fresh. they're restarting what could've been.
"we broke all the pieces but we still want to play the game" They can't stay away from each other. The relationship fell apart but they're still going to the other.
she just keeps dropping hints if ya'll hetlors don't see it thats on you. Cause even if she did just turn out to be straight (which she obviously isn't) that would be a whole other problematic thing..... so which is she problematic or queer, which is worse to them?
So I came across this comment on a random reddit post…
I had never heard that before, but the first thing I thought of was all the pearl imagery in Taylor’s latest video.
Pearls, pearls & more pearls. Maybe something, maybe nothing at all. Just thought it was worth a share. ⚪️
*insert calvin harris's deleted twitter posts about losing a big old beard*
Actual footage of me seeing this come up on TikTok…..
"you can see HER with the lights out" she said it everytime!
As a kaylor having taylor looking up at karli throughout the last night of the eras tour in LA, especially during the folklore set, immortalized on disney+ to be watched whenever is really something. especially cause she knew it was being filmed and she decided to bring her girlfriend and she kept looking up at karli. She put karli up there so she could keep looking up at her!
I am so gay for them 😭😭😭😭
Interested to hear your interpretation on Suburban Legends
first off the song and beat sounds so similar to mastermind and gold rush. particularly mastermind. listen to the opening seconds back to back! she sings through a lot of it similarly in my opinion
and it has some of the similar mechanics of mastermind in that it leads you to believe the song is going one way but then pulls a switcheroo on you at the end and the swell in the music aids that at the end which makes it a really sweet and emotional listening experience. i’ll get to that in a second.
i think at the beginning of taylor knowing or being aware of karlie (so like, your kitchen or mine times), this was very much the situation. karlie is in her peripheral vision (on her radar) but just as taylor described in gold rush, karlie seemed like something utterly unattainable. in lover as well we get the line “i’m highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you” and i think this fits with this description of karlie.
i didn’t come here to make friends echoes their entire conceit of mastermind, and a lot of the kaylor discography that uses the word ‘friend’ — another way to say “i don’t want you like a best friend” etc
also this is a sort of throwaway point but “i didn’t come here to make friends” was a 2000’s reality tv phrase that came into popularity via the show America’s Next Top Model. it was iconic and soon every competitive reality tv show under the sun had contestants saying it.. but it’s origins are from a show about models! of which karlie is one.
more importantly, the “you kiss me in a way that’s gonna screw me up forever” is like the follow up to the gold rush “eyes like sinking ships on waters so inviting i almost jump in” language. it’s cruel summer’s “snuck in through the garden gate every night that summer just to seal my fate” because falling in love with karlie lead to taylor wanting her complications too
mismatched star signs works because fire signs traditionally match best with air signs. also visually, stars mismatched fits in with mastermind’s “the planets and the fates and all the stars aligned” — things that weren’t in alignment coming into alignment.
there’s a bunch of story page chapter stuff throughout taylor’s discography, some of which makes its way into kaylor but i’d probably write for way too long so i’m just gonna skip over that for now
this part might be a bit tricky but i sort of blame it on many kaylors not talking that much about really early kaylor possibilities out of (a sort of unearned) respect and the one way street principle of staying in our lane but the idea of taylor saying “i know that when you told me we’d get back together and kissed me that you remember[ed] we were born to be national treasures” isn’t that too wild of a statement if you imagine them as maybe briefly connecting or talking at some point before taylor made her plans to make karlie hers. indeed, we know their paths crossed several times before they were first connected at the 2013 vs fashion show.
*for posterity, i included the apple music lyrics as the genius lyrics appear to be worded partially incorrectly
this is the part of the song which i just think is so beautifully done. in particular i love the “you don’t knock anymore” of it all
at first it sounds like she’s saying karlie doesn’t knock anymore because she come around anymore, or this idea of there having been a breakup or a period of not being together or something sad, which is matched by the tone of how she sings it for the first time. the waves crashing to the shore feels like a storm.
but at the end of the repetition her voice becomes more upbeat and it dawns on you, you’re like, oh wait karlie doesn’t knock anymore because she doesn’t need to knock anymore, she has a key! (“is that your key in the door?” anyone?)
and suddenly the waves meeting the shore is a pleasant image of unification and happiness. she closes with the thought “you don’t knock anymore and i always knew it” which makes it feel a bit more like mastermind’s “you knew the entire time, and now you’re mine” — always knowing they would get together, taylor always knowing karlie was the one. “and my life had been ruined” is sung in a sort of sweet resignation, one that i find throughout a lot of kaylor music, the idea that she knows its complicated but that its what she chose.
so yeah! that’s why suburban legends is a kaylor song to me 😌

the post that inspired my "The Seven Husbands Of Taylor swift- A Comparative Essay" cause I'm obsessed and queer and a kaylor <3
“When Celia said she couldn’t have all of me, it was because I was selfish and because I was scared of losing everything I had. Not because I had two sides of me that one person could never fulfill. I broke Celia’s heart because I spent half my time loving her and the other half hiding how much I loved her." (Evelyn Hugo)
The seven husbands of Taylor Swift- a comparative essay.
so I know that this isn't my usual smut post and i've been kinda MIA but I've been reading The Seven Husbands Of Evelyn Hugo and there's many, many references to Taylor swift and/ or Kaylor so I want to write an essay on it. I am posting it to tumblr to give me a reason to finish it cause I never finish essays. this is just the opening paragraph (or half of it depending on if I add to it or the feed back I get back from my bestie), I've been working on my writing and I'm very proud of this so far. I hope you like it and I am open to feed back if you have any :)
Taylor swift, a woman whose closet is made of glass, and the fictional character Evelyn Hugho from “The Seven Husbands Of Evelyn Hugo” by Taylor Jenkins Reid, a woman who spent half her time loving Celia St. James and the other half hiding how much she loved her both have one thing in common, they fell in love with a woman while dating a man. It started in a closet at an awards show after being told her new friend, Celia St. james, is a lesbian Evelyn decided to confront the red haired woman which leads to a kiss. At some point between 2010-2012 Taylor and Karli met while Swift was dating her then beard Harry Styles, their first public interaction was on twitter on January 17th 2012 with Karli tweeting “hey @(Taylorswift13) love the @(vogue magazine) cover! Your kitchen or mine?”. Many fans often compare Evelyn and Taylor, they being two women who have had a secret relationship with a women (or multiple in Taylor’s case- Hey, dianna).
In other news, I have been reading through the 3 hour (!!!) gaylor powerpoint, and it is beautifully unhinged and ridiculous. It's perfect. No notes. Delusional masterpiece
Hey I noticed you write for Taylor Swift x fem!reader (lifesaver for that btw) so I was wondering if you're a Gaylor? Not hating no matter if you are or aren't
Hi!
Thank you for the comment! However, I don't really know. I really don't care. I write for her because I admire her a lot and all. I don't want to assume what her sexual orientation is. It is really none of my business. Thank you for the question, tho. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to clear that up.
Lover of Taylor swift❤️❤️
