will taylor swift come out once the eras tour ends? · gasp! the pod

0:00
I'm hoping something crazy happens up to there as to her so
0:02
like the void will be filled because if it just ends and she
0:06
goes back into hiding this community, we're going to need
0:10
to find something else to focus on because I can't just think
0:13
about public affairs. Welcome back everyone to Gasp
0:28
the pod, the podcast for the gays, the girls and especially
0:31
the gay girls. Happy early Christmas and happy
0:33
early holidays. I am at my family's house in
0:38
Virginia. My dog Sneakers is joining us.
0:42
She is right here. She joined for the episode that
0:47
I did with Sophia, my girlfriend, but she's a big
0:50
snuggle snuggler, so she'll be joining us as we talk about
0:54
Gaylor. OK, this is a huge episode.
0:56
Last week I talked about karma, the karma theory and the Friend
1:00
of Dorothy theory. We are just doing the big main
1:04
theories. I wanted to cover them Gaylor,
1:08
right? We're talking about Gaylor.
1:11
I wanted to cover them before the last weekend of the Eras
1:13
Tour because this is like a huge moment in pop culture history
1:17
and there might be something huge happening.
1:20
And that is Taylor coming out. So I really wanted to cover
1:23
these, like, major theories. They're obviously not all mine.
1:27
If you're in Gaylord TikTok, these are like widespread shared
1:30
theories. Some of them I have like my
1:33
unique little takes on them, obviously.
1:36
And I have my own personal beliefs and we're going to cover
1:41
all of that. But this episode I wanted to
1:44
talk about the Meet Me at midnight theory, about Taylor
1:47
Swift coming out, and then the burning down the lover house
1:51
theory and then performance art LER theory.
1:54
All of these like touched on before in my podcast.
1:58
But we're going to do like just kind of a rundown of what these
2:02
theories mean and what that could mean for the last few
2:06
nights of theirs to her. Because guys, I don't even think
2:10
I've even really fully gone through the stages of grief.
2:14
I mean, you can't if it hasn't happened yet, if you guys don't
2:19
know sneakers, it's a little homophobic.
2:21
I fear that she didn't even vote in this election.
2:24
But this Friday, if you don't follow me on TikTok, I'm going
2:28
to go live and we'll just kind of like watch the first night of
2:34
the last three nights of theirs tour together and like,
2:37
hopefully something crazy happens.
2:40
If anything happens, I do believe it's going to come on
2:42
Sunday just because that's the last night and it just feels
2:45
right. But who knows, guys, it's a
2:47
Friday. Taylor Swift loves releasing
2:49
things on a Friday. So there you go.
2:52
So join me there. Also.
2:55
Big, big news. And then I'm going to get into
2:58
the episode really quickly. But this is just a little
3:00
housekeeping stuff. There's a high chance, and when
3:03
I say hi, I mean like 90% chance that I'll be doing an episode, a
3:07
bonus episode this week because it's the last weekend of Taylor
3:12
Swift's Errors tour ever. So it's a big week.
3:15
I'm going to do a bonus episode with one of her favorite Giggler
3:19
creators. You know who they are OK, They
3:24
will probably most likely be joining if our schedules
3:27
workout, 90% chance that it will.
3:30
And we will be discussing just like our thoughts about the
3:33
errors tour, if Taylor Swift will be coming out and all of
3:35
that. So do not miss that.
3:37
However, I sneakers stop groaning at me.
3:42
I'm not going to do this bonus episode.
3:45
This is the catch unless I reach 300 subscribers on YouTube.
3:50
So I know a lot of you listen and don't subscribe which is
3:54
fair. I didn't subscribe to a lot of
3:57
Youtubes that I was listening to because I didn't know that it
3:59
like meant anything. But it does mean a lot.
4:02
So please subscribe if you haven't already.
4:05
And if we reach 300, I will release the bonus episode.
4:10
So there you go. A few weeks back I like decided
4:14
to start doing this thing where I shout out a country of where
4:17
I'm streamed and shout out those listeners and thank them for
4:20
listening. And then I just like completely
4:21
stopped. And I forgot about doing that.
4:24
But I found out literally yesterday, not an e-mail from
4:29
Pod Chaser or whatever, that this podcast is ranked #3 in
4:34
entertainment, but in Bulgaria. So thank you, Bulgarian
4:40
listeners. I love you and I see you.
4:43
Let yourself be known If you're Bulgarian and you listen to this
4:46
podcast, slay. Thank you.
4:49
And I told that to my dad because my dad has done a bunch
4:54
of work trips in Bulgaria. So I love Bulgaria and thank you
4:57
for listening. OK, let's move into the meet.
5:00
The question is, will Taylor come out when the Air's tour
5:03
ends? I have a theory that yes, and
5:07
all of these theories that we're going to counter today obviously
5:09
support this larger idea that the heir is to her is going to
5:13
end and she's going to transform into her true self, which is a
5:18
queer self. So as we know, the last show was
5:21
December 8th, 2024, which is fucking crazy.
5:25
And it's interesting that, and I said this before my last
5:28
episode, this is days before her birthday, December 13th.
5:31
Are we going to meet the real tailor when the Heir is tour
5:33
ends? The Meet Me at midnight theory
5:36
has been circulating. I want to run through the entire
5:39
theory. Let's begin.
5:41
This starts with the Lover era. This was perhaps my theory is
5:47
that it was her second attempt at coming out, but it was
5:50
obviously foiled by Scooter Braun and the buying of her
5:53
masters. Me is a very queer song.
5:59
Go watch my last episode if you haven't already.
6:01
I talk so much about how and how the music video is like pretty
6:05
much the Wizard of Oz and like showing that Taylor Swift is
6:08
going down the ill brick road and like she's coming out as
6:11
queer. So I think this was her attempt
6:13
at coming out and she released, she literally released it and
6:17
she goes me out now on Lesbian Visibility Day.
6:21
That's such lore. And that's kind of like the
6:23
basis of this theory that this was her attempt of coming out.
6:28
It got foiled. She literally said me out now
6:31
and no one listened. Nobody noticed my new aesthetic,
6:34
right? Why did no one notice her whole
6:36
rainbow theme Wizard of Oz shit? OK so Me is a song we didn't
6:42
really hear often on the Airs tour, but I also think Me is
6:46
more of a queer song than even You need to calm down because
6:49
she's talking about like herself.
6:50
You need to calm down as just kind of like a general queer
6:53
anthem for like obviously her and the entire community.
6:56
But I feel like Me is a song where she's like, this is not
7:00
just about the community. This is about me.
7:03
Right? And when are we going to meet
7:04
her? So it seems like this song is
7:07
one that she keeps close to her heart.
7:08
There was a lot of backlash when she released this.
7:10
People thought it was like, Jugie and Millennial and like,
7:12
yeah, that's so true. But it's also very gay.
7:14
And two things can exist at once.
7:16
She keeps this song close to her heart.
7:18
She removed the spelling is fun. And I feel kind of bad because,
7:21
like, people kind of bullied her over it.
7:23
But I kind of liked it. I thought it was kind of, like,
7:25
cute for, like, queer kids. Like LGBTQ spelling is fun, but
7:30
again, she hasn't sung it. But when she did sing it, it was
7:34
sung very sadly, kind of in a nostalgic, sad way.
7:38
She literally says everything that makes me me, cowboy boots,
7:42
gay pride, etcetera. This is a gay song in me.
7:45
She literally says like a rainbow with all of the colors.
7:49
She's saying I'm a rainbow. I mean, we're just missing.
7:55
We're missing the plot. I mean, we aren't.
7:58
Everyone else says. OK, so there's this whole
8:02
movement of like, get Taylor Swift to play me in Vancouver.
8:07
I think she's going to, I feel like she kind of has to.
8:11
That's what I think. I mean, she's reaching the she's
8:14
reaching Oz, Vancouver's the Emerald City.
8:16
I think she's going to play me. And she keeps referencing me
8:21
during the era's tour, and Taylor Nation has referenced me
8:25
in the TTPD performance or in the performance in the Heirs
8:30
tour of Smallest Man, Whoever Lived, which is obviously TTPD
8:33
song. That whole performance looks a
8:36
lot like the ME music video. And she's like wearing this like
8:40
army outfit. She's like marching down to Oz.
8:43
There's been a lot of references to me.
8:46
And that begs the question, why was she referencing me and the
8:50
Lover era so much? There's something that's
8:52
unresolved here. She also, during the red era,
8:56
she has those shirts that spell out messages.
8:59
She had one that spelled out me. So again, a lot of references to
9:02
me because she wasn't able to come out.
9:05
She's stuck in this glass house, AKA the Lover house, and she's
9:11
frozen in time. It's locked away.
9:13
We need to break her out, guys. The Lover music video, go back
9:17
and watch it. It has a lot of Easter eggs, but
9:19
it pretty much shows all of her eras in Lover House.
9:22
Which the question is, when she first made this music video, was
9:26
it supposed to be kind of like a fond way to remember all of her
9:30
past eras? Maybe she thought she was really
9:32
going to finally come out, but now it's kind of haunting
9:35
depiction of it. Like go back and watch it.
9:39
She looks kind of sad like most of the video and this song is
9:43
supposed to be about like, I don't know, falling in love and
9:47
like feeling so comfortable and happy and safe with your lover.
9:51
But like the entire time she's in trapped in this house, she
9:54
looks unhappy and depressed. There's a closet room in this
9:59
music video of yellow clothes, which is obviously symbolizing
10:02
closet. And again, the yellow brick road
10:06
parts of the house are also like boarded up.
10:08
And I thought, I've always thought that was really
10:11
interesting. Like, what is she not showing
10:12
us? The whole music video just looks
10:14
like she's playing a house with a man.
10:19
And in this house that like it's supposed to be private, but
10:22
we're peeking through the eye hole of the door and we can see
10:27
their life. And it's kind of like for our
10:29
entertainment, like she's playing a house and she's trying
10:32
to force herself to be happy, but she's not.
10:35
And it's kind of like all of her eras, she was like forced to
10:39
play this part of this straight kind of version of herself.
10:46
She's also in this fishbowl where I know sneakers.
10:51
I know you don't approve of anything gay.
10:54
She's in this fishbowl that's supposed to look real, but like
10:58
we are watching her through this fishbowl.
11:01
It's for our entertainment. And this kind of goes to the
11:03
performance art lure whole theory, which we will get to.
11:07
But at the end of the music video that we find out that the
11:10
whole house is actually in a snow globe and we're watching it
11:13
from the outside. So as much as it's supposed to
11:15
show like her private moments, it's not.
11:17
It's like this ruse of, oh, look, these are my private
11:21
moments, right? But what are we actually seeing
11:24
here? We're seeing constructed
11:25
versions for our entertainment. We don't know her we're we
11:30
haven't met the real her yet. All of these eras are in the
11:34
house, in the lover house, but none of them are like the true
11:38
her. They're all just different
11:39
straight versions. So this brings us to the
11:43
Midnight's era. So that's kind of the basis of
11:45
the Meet Me at Midnight theory. I view Midnight's as her attempt
11:50
of telling us when we will be able to meet the real her that
11:54
she tried to show us during Lover.
11:56
So Midnight's is kind of this sad album where she's lying
12:00
awake at night thinking about things she was never able to do,
12:04
AKA come out the Midnight's blurple glitter vibe I think.
12:10
And I really see this transformation of like Lover
12:13
attempt to come out back to Midnight's, which is this
12:17
glitter night sky time of wandering, pondering, being sad.
12:23
And this kind of like cocooning in between lover and perhaps
12:28
karma. So lover, we see these bisexual
12:30
colors, sunset skies, her attempt to come out, then she
12:34
kind of had to go back into hibernation, right?
12:37
Like we see folklore evermore midnights as this like
12:40
hibernation era. She's so remorseful and sad.
12:44
Like why is she so sad? It's her cocooning in this
12:47
transformation to even a self that she wasn't even aware of,
12:51
perhaps in Lover, which is perhaps being a lesbian karma,
12:57
which I think we're all pretty certain is going to be.
13:00
The next album has these lesbian colors, sunlight, daylight,
13:04
skies. So it's sunset, Midnights to
13:07
daylight. It's this transformation.
13:10
So that's kind of the meet me at midnight basis of what we're
13:14
seeing is that we tried to meet her during Lover and then
13:18
Midnights is her telling us, wait, meet me at midnight,
13:23
you're going to meet me. You didn't.
13:25
Then I'm going to tell you when it's going to be.
13:28
And she's been placing these hints and telling us when she's
13:32
going to finally let us meet the real her, which again, she tried
13:36
to tell us I love her, but it didn't work.
13:39
I think Midnight's was almost kind of a planning album of
13:42
being like, what do I want to do?
13:44
This didn't work. I really wanted like, this is
13:47
something that I lost. How am I going to get this back
13:52
again? What's my plan?
13:54
And as we know, she plans things three years in advance.
13:57
This was in 2022, guys. Midnights.
14:01
So again, it all ties back to Lover in Midnights.
14:04
We also see a lot of fairy tale inspo in the Bejeweled music
14:07
video. It's pretty much based on
14:09
Cinderella, which is very interesting and familiar, right?
14:13
Like when the clock strikes midnight, we see the real
14:16
Cinderella, and I just think that's so poignant.
14:20
Like when the clock strikes midnight, we see the real
14:24
tailor. Then who is this and why are
14:27
other Swifties getting this? Like she's putting on a
14:29
performance for us. This version of Cinderella
14:32
that's like all but jeweled and made-up is not the real her,
14:37
right? Who's the real her?
14:38
It's actually someone who's like a servant girl, but like, she's
14:41
the gay one. So the castle, I think, is also
14:44
a metaphor for the lover house that she's trapped in.
14:48
I think Midnight's is kind of like harkening back to the lover
14:51
house, lover music video, and she's still trapped in this
14:55
entire house and she can't get out.
14:58
Also, at the end of it, she ghosts the Prince, which again,
15:03
we all think we're not. We all, some of us, some of the
15:06
Gatlers, believe that this is kind of foreshadowing that she's
15:09
going to ghost Travis. Maybe when she like, gets the
15:13
keys to the castle, 'cause right now she's trapped in the castle.
15:16
Who has the keys to the castle? Perhaps her management, you
15:20
know. So once she gets the keys to the
15:21
castle, what is she able to do? Ghost the Prince?
15:25
OK, Then in Midnight's era, we see the Karma music video.
15:29
At the end of the music video, the clock strikes Midnight in
15:32
the coffee cup. What is coming at Midnight?
15:36
Midnight's is not just being like, oh, the clock starts
15:39
midnight and it's the Midnight's era.
15:41
Like she's telling us something is going to happen.
15:44
The question is, what is midnight?
15:47
Is midnight the December the 12th month of the year?
15:52
Or is it TS12? Or is it another theory that I
15:56
have that I will get into in a second?
15:59
She's also holding a match on the cover of Midnight's, and
16:03
that kind of shows that she's realizing that she can burn down
16:06
the lover house that keeps her captive.
16:09
I think Midnight's is kind of showing her, like, pondering and
16:12
wondering and like, conjuring up a plan of being like, wait, how
16:16
am I going to get out of this? She's dreaming of possibilities.
16:20
Doesn't that sound familiar, Oz? But she's dreaming of the
16:24
possibility of wait, I have the power to burn down this house
16:28
that's keeping me captive and that's been haunting me since
16:31
the lover era. And Midnight I see is this
16:34
conjuring up and perhaps TTBD was her like really getting pent
16:41
up and angry at this whole thing and starting to burn down the
16:46
inside. And perhaps karma is going to be
16:49
when she really. Destroys the house.
16:52
So he went back and read the Midnight's liner notes.
16:55
It's kind of insane. If you read it back.
16:58
So these are really long, but I just decided I'm going to read
17:01
them anyways. So let's begin.
17:04
This is quote Taylor Swift. What keeps you up at night?
17:07
It's a momentary glimmer of distraction, the tiniest notion
17:11
of a reminiscent thought that wanders off into wandering into
17:15
wandering, the spark that lights a tinderbox of fixation.
17:19
She's like, wait, could I burn down all of this?
17:25
And now it is irreversible. The flame has caught.
17:29
Your wide awake. It's again like I said, this
17:32
fantasizing of wait could I really get out of this?
17:36
Maybe it's that one urgent question you meant to ask
17:39
someone years ago but didn't. Someone that slipped through the
17:42
cracks in your history and they're too far gone now anyway.
17:46
All the ghost ships that have sailed and sailed away, but at
17:49
this hour they've anchored in your harbor.
17:52
They sit with flags waiting, bright and beautiful, and it's
17:55
almost like it's again this kind of is the Wizard of Oz theory
18:00
that she's dreaming of this world where she can actually be
18:05
herself. And she's reminiscing on this
18:09
time that all of these things have been in the past.
18:12
But maybe it's not too late. Maybe it's not too late to come
18:15
out and be herself. Sometimes sleep is as evasive as
18:20
happiness isn't mystifying how quickly we've vacillate.
18:24
Jesus, she's so smart between self love and loathing.
18:27
At this hour, 1 moment your life looks like a night sky of
18:32
gleaming stars, the next the fog has descended.
18:35
Suddenly you're in the town you left behind all those years ago,
18:38
The trees of your youth out of the woods with the phantom
18:42
memory, echoes of your belly laughter and the rope
18:45
indentations of your old tire swings still in the branch.
18:48
All the phone numbers you still know by heart but never call
18:51
anymore. The boy's devastated face as he
18:54
peeled out of your driveway. The family man he is now.
18:57
I God, I see that so is so lesbian, like being like I
19:01
couldn't love him but I knew that he was sad and you can't be
19:05
with him. What must they all think of you?
19:08
Why can't you sleep? Maybe you lie awake in the
19:10
aftershock of falling, head headlong into a connection that
19:13
feels like some surreal cataclysmic event.
19:18
Guys, she's not talking about men.
19:21
Why is it such a cataclysmic event?
19:24
Like spontaneous combustion or seeing snow falling on a
19:27
tropical beach, A lavender haze crush that feels like the crash
19:31
of a wave? Come on.
19:34
Or was tonight the night you realized how solitary, how alone
19:37
you really are? No matter how high you climb,
19:41
she's still trapped in the house.
19:44
Like, what else would she be talking about?
19:46
The elevation just makes it colder.
19:49
And also, it's kind of showing us she was not with Joe when she
19:52
wrote this album. It's so clear she was alone.
19:56
Or maybe she was alone with someone she couldn't be publicly
20:00
out with. Some midnights you're out and
20:03
you're buzzing with electric current and adventure and
20:06
pursuit of rapturous thrill, music blaring from speakers and
20:09
the reckless intimacy of dancing with strangers.
20:12
Something in the shadowy room to make you feel shiny again.
20:15
On these nights, ye know that there are facets of you that
20:18
only glow in the dark. Why are you still up at this
20:21
hour? Because you're cosplaying
20:23
vengeance fantasies where the bad, bad man is hauled away in
20:27
handcuffs and you get to watch it happen.
20:29
She's fantasizing about it 'cause it hasn't happened yet.
20:33
So I know when we hear vigilante shit, we think like, oh, she
20:36
won, right? She hasn't gotten to that level
20:40
yet because she's still under the control of certain people.
20:46
You laugh into the mirror with a red wine snarl.
20:48
You look positively deranged. She's a witch.
20:54
Maybe you were trying to mastermind matters of the heart
20:56
again. You've gotten lost in the
20:58
labyrinth of your head where the fear wraps its claws around the
21:01
fragile throat of true love. Jesus Christ, she's such a good
21:05
writer. Will you be able to save it in
21:07
time? Save it from who?
21:09
Well, it's obvious from you. Like she's the one that is also
21:15
like threatening her ability to have love too, because she also
21:19
needs to have the courage to come out as well.
21:22
We lie in love and in fear and in turmoil and in tears.
21:26
We stare at walls and drink until they speak back.
21:29
We twisted herself made cages. And I do think this is
21:33
interesting. Obviously she's telling us it's
21:35
herself made cages, but then she's also under the control of
21:38
people. So again, I don't know if we're
21:40
ever going to really know the truth of like perhaps why she
21:44
didn't come out or why she couldn't come out.
21:46
I think it's possibly a mixture of both herself and other
21:52
people. And pray that we aren't right
21:54
this minute about to make some fateful life altering mistake.
21:59
She's literally lying awake at night being like, should I do
22:02
this? This is a collection of music
22:04
written in the middle of the night, A journey.
22:06
Journey through terrors and sweet dreams.
22:10
There's a transformation here. The floors we pace and the
22:12
demons we face. For all of us who have tossed
22:15
and turned and decided to keep the lanterns lit and go
22:18
searching, hoping that just maybe when the clock strikes 12,
22:23
we'll meet ourselves. See you there.
22:27
Midnight sharp. Taylor.
22:30
When are we going to meet her? When's midnight she's There's
22:35
this fateful decision that she has to make and she's deciding
22:40
to do it and that we are going to meet her at midnight.
22:44
So again, there's this big theory that midnight is going to
22:48
be December, this December in Vancouver, the Emerald City, and
22:53
that we are going to meet her at midnight. 12.
22:56
It's O clock or that we're going to meet her at TS12, so perhaps
23:01
she's going to release TS12, which is karma, and she'll come
23:04
out by burning down the lover house, which we will get into.
23:09
Or my theory. And again, this all Harkins back
23:12
to me. Meet me at midnight.
23:16
The other theory I think, I can't remember if I got this
23:21
inspired from someone, but I started thinking about this idea
23:25
like six months ago that exile ends in 321.
23:30
Exile is so clearly the idea, this idea of like closeting and
23:35
being thrown out of the city and like you're a witch and you're
23:40
the evil 1, which is very TTPD but also very folklore.
23:43
And obviously we see it in folklore and Evermore a lot.
23:45
But she's still in exile. And I thought that exile ended
23:50
when the glitch ended, but I think the glitch just ended.
23:54
And after the glitch ended, which was the night that it was
24:00
Karlie Kloss and Jared Kushner's anniversary, I think that's when
24:03
she started amping. Up her queerness and her outward
24:06
queerness on the errors to her. But she's still technically in
24:09
exile. So exile ends in 321.
24:12
Do you guys remember right before TTPD was dropped on the
24:16
Taylor Swift website, it literally said red herring.
24:20
But although the words were jumbled up and also it said 321
24:24
dot dot dot. So we got this is bringing us
24:27
back to this countdown that didn't just end in Midnight's.
24:30
Midnight's was not just insular event.
24:33
This is a story that she's telling throughout all of her
24:36
albums. They're not independent eras.
24:38
It's literally a story of transformation.
24:41
So it said 321. It's a clock.
24:44
What is the three? What's the two?
24:46
What's the one? Let's figure it out.
24:48
Midnight's had three AM tracks, right?
24:52
TTPD had two AM tracks. If we follow this pattern,
24:56
Karma, if it's TS12 will have 1:00 AM tracks and perhaps TS
25:03
13, which is like perhaps the full rainbow once it's
25:07
completed. If karma is orange, that means
25:10
the rainbow is completed and that means maybe TS13 will be
25:13
full 13. I mean, sorry, full rainbow and
25:17
we will see midnight tracks and no extra tracks.
25:20
And that's when we meet her at midnight.
25:22
Meet me at midnight, her completed self with all of the
25:25
errors that fit into the puzzle, but now complete her.
25:29
And it's just like her true self.
25:32
So that's a theory that maybe we won't meet her until TS13.
25:36
Or will we meet her at midnight during TS12?
25:40
Will karma be the burning of the lover house?
25:43
And that's just kind of like the rising action and then the
25:47
falling action conclusion is we meet her at TS13.
25:50
I don't know. I really don't know.
25:52
I still feel passionate about TS 13 being like her full complete
25:59
story, how we really meet her and perhaps we see TS12 kind of
26:06
be karma and kind of like more explicitly clear and kind of
26:10
this like rising action, burning down of the lover house.
26:14
But then the complete story resolution is TS13.
26:17
That's my theory, but people disagree.
26:20
And let me know your thoughts of what you guys think.
26:23
I definitely think there's a pattern here of midnight.
26:26
This Midnight's thing is so strong and this meet me thing,
26:31
it just really circles back between Lover and Midnights and
26:35
I really think there's something here.
26:37
So again, the question is, will she come out during Karma DS12
26:43
or TS13? Either way, this pattern tracks
26:48
with the 321 and the Midnights and all of that, the rainbow, it
26:53
all tracks. So who knows, but there's
26:57
definitely a pattern here that's not a coincidence.
27:02
Let's talk about the burning down the lover house theory.
27:05
I know I just touched on it, but I kind of want to like go
27:07
through it. She's already heard me talk
27:10
about the burning down the lover house theory too much.
27:14
This literally just looks like I'm hanging out.
27:15
Do you guys like the setup? I'll go back to my more formal
27:18
setup when I go back to New York.
27:20
I've been holding my mic wrong the entire time.
27:24
OK, hopefully my sound wasn't just really fucked up the last
27:28
30 minutes. But if it.
27:32
Was And you're still here. Thank you.
27:35
OK, burning down the Lover house theory.
27:37
Was the Lover house originally constructed in the Lover era as
27:42
a fond way to remember her straight eras that turned sour
27:47
and now is she showing us that she's trapped?
27:50
I think we see this a lot in reputation as she's like banging
27:53
on these glass closets and obviously we can see into the
27:56
lover house. So it's a glass house, the whole
27:59
lover house and the lover house theory in the Gaylord way is
28:03
that we're seeing her straight performances as the eras and the
28:07
fact that during the eras to her book, she says see you next era.
28:11
I think that kind of goes to show that karma will be the next
28:14
era. And then that's not even her
28:16
true self full yet, but still just another era.
28:19
That's what I think. And then TS13 will be like a
28:22
complete resolution, like literally telling us the truth.
28:30
We might never get that. I'm just praying and hoping that
28:33
she's smart enough to not wait until she's 65.
28:36
Like we're not in the 70s anymore.
28:38
It would be so powerful if she took this opportunity and made
28:43
the statement. Like, I think it would change
28:45
the world. So the lover house is kind of
28:47
showing us her straight performances and her straight
28:51
era in this glass house that she's trapped in.
28:55
During the Eras tour, we see the lover house burned down during
28:59
bad blood. That's the first time that we've
29:03
even seen the eras or the lover house burned down.
29:08
And it's like, what else? Why would you be burning them
29:12
down if they're her true self? And these are.
29:15
And also she's re recorded most of these eras now.
29:17
So if she's re recorded successfully these eras that are
29:21
not trapped anymore, why are they still in the house unless
29:26
we're waiting for her to come out right?
29:28
Like why would they still be trapped if she's re recorded
29:31
them? It doesn't make sense from a
29:33
strict perspective. The question is why during bad
29:36
blood? I think it just so happened that
29:37
there was like a fire during that era during the era sewer.
29:42
Also you can make an argument that 1989 was right before
29:45
karma. Maybe there's a transition here,
29:48
who knows. Does she need to burn the lover
29:51
house down with karma and karma again?
29:54
Is fire aesthetic orange aesthetic?
29:57
And does she need to do this in order to be free from the glass
30:01
House of entrapment and be able to come out as herself?
30:04
Because right now as it stands, this house is intact and she's
30:12
still talking about like in my cage of silence, trapped behind
30:17
glass. The amount of time she talks
30:19
about being trapped spineless in my team of silence, like all
30:22
these different metaphors, the lover house is intact and she
30:26
needs to get out of that. Even if it's not even queer,
30:29
she's got to get out because that's like such a big metaphor
30:32
theme in her music. That's like, why else would she
30:36
be trapped in? Either way, I do believe it's
30:39
going to burn down. And that it burning down during
30:42
the era's tour is foreshadowing. So in Dear Reader she literally
30:47
says hiding in plain sight. I just think she's being so
30:51
obvious. She's not even trying to be
30:52
convoluted and she's like hiding behind the fact.
30:55
Like no one's going to fucking notice.
30:56
But like that she's hiding in this clear glass house that we
31:01
can see in. So part of the theory is that
31:04
she will use the lighter that she's kind of fascinated with
31:07
during midnight's from the midnight's cover that she's
31:10
like, wait, could I burn it all down?
31:12
And instead of just fantasizing about it at night, at
31:16
midnight's, you know, will she actually burn down the whole
31:20
house and break out these straight eras that weren't
31:26
actually straight, but that were like pushed inside and closeted
31:32
in order to be free? What also goes for this theory
31:36
is that the orange door falls at the end of the heiress tour down
31:41
from the sky, and it fits perfectly.
31:45
In the center of the lover house is the orange door, the way that
31:52
she needs to like exit and through the orange door because
31:56
in the lover music video it's red.
31:58
But is it really an orange door to complete the whole lover?
32:02
House. And orange symbolizes fire.
32:06
Is that how she's going to exit at the final end of the heiress
32:10
to her by going through this orange door?
32:12
And orange karma releases karma and it burns down the whole
32:17
entrapment her trap, her cage so she's able to release karma and
32:23
then we get to meet her. We don't know, but I think so.
32:29
And like if she doesn't, what the fuck?
32:33
Literally if she doesn't release karma or burn down the lover
32:37
house or come out or release anything major.
32:41
And I'm not even talking about Rep TV guys.
32:43
It's this shit is way bigger than Rep TV and I don't even
32:46
think Rep TV even fits in this story right now.
32:51
Like I think Rep TV might even come after and come after Karma.
32:55
That would actually make more sense because Karma was supposed
32:58
to be before Rep TV and then maybe debut and then maybe GS
33:02
13. But like, Swifties are so
33:06
focused on like Rep TV, like she's ending the biggest tour of
33:10
her life, celebrating all of her errors that fit perfectly in
33:13
this cage in this house that she's trapped in.
33:18
Rep TV is not the finale to that.
33:20
Like, if there's no resolution to that, I'll just be so
33:23
confused. Like what?
33:25
Why all these Easter eggs for no reason?
33:28
Does she have to make the lover house complete by releasing
33:33
karma in order to burn it down? And then that would complete the
33:37
rainbow. And then she finally reaches Oz
33:41
over the rainbow. I mean crazy.
33:44
Is TTPD part of the lover house? That's a question that I think a
33:48
lot of people still disagree on. I don't even have a solid answer
33:52
to that. I know when she was doing TTPD
33:55
Easter eggs and like promo for it, we obviously saw her in this
34:00
like mental hospital esque location and she was opening
34:06
these different rooms. I think there's something to be
34:09
said for the whole thing being like a dream.
34:13
So again, like Oz, like TTPDTTPD is black and white.
34:17
She's like in the mental hospital.
34:19
She's like in Kansas. She can't come out right.
34:24
Like she would be accused of being a witch or insane or
34:28
neurotic or have female hysteria or whatever, and that she's
34:33
dreaming of these different worlds, these colorful worlds in
34:38
the lover house. Is she perhaps on top of the
34:41
lover house waiting to get picked up by an alien karma?
34:45
We kind of see that imagery and down bad.
34:48
It's hard to tell. In the Fortnite music video, we
34:52
see her TTPD era self start to try to break out of this mental
35:00
hospital. Like perhaps TTPD is starting to
35:04
kind of show us the cracks in this facade.
35:07
And in reality, she's actually trapped.
35:10
This is not a fun happy house. She's actually trapped and
35:15
scared in this place. And she starts burning all the
35:17
files. She starts taking a chair to
35:19
break out of the mirror. Like is this really the reality
35:23
of what it's like to be trapped in the lover house?
35:26
Like her real reality is black and white Kansas world from
35:30
TTPDI. Think TTPD, especially the ball
35:33
tracks are really showing us like wait, no guys, this is all
35:38
performance in reality. It's hell for her.
35:41
I do think we're going to finally see her burn down the
35:45
lover house the final night of the heirs to her.
35:49
I hope and I pray because everything is leading up to
35:52
that. That's truly what I believe and
35:56
like I guess the question is will these eras stay trapped in
36:00
the lover house? Like if she does not burn it
36:02
down, they're still frozen in time And the theory that oh she
36:07
just had to re release them and it was because her masters were
36:10
sold, they're still in the lover house.
36:12
If that was the case, we would see them like be released from
36:15
the lover house or they would get out of these glass closets
36:18
during reputation. But that pattern wasn't there.
36:21
And it's because all of these are showing her closet itself
36:25
eras. These are not just her eras that
36:27
are like stolen from her and masters.
36:29
Like there's something larger here.
36:31
I think it just makes more sense to for her to burn it down and
36:36
start anew and show us her true self.
36:40
And I really think we will see the true her at midnight.
36:44
She will shed this performance Artler Q Performance Artler
36:48
theory. The question is, and I keep on
36:51
saying the question is because there's so many questions.
36:53
The question is, what is midnight?
36:56
We already went over this. It's up to you to decide.
36:59
You guys know my thoughts. OK, let's get into performance
37:01
Artler theory. So this theory is, and again, I
37:05
believe in all of these, I think that they're all intertwined.
37:08
All of her eras were actually performances and none of them
37:11
were really the true her. She's trapped and the real her
37:15
in all of these eras are trapped under the lover house.
37:18
She's performing as herself, almost like a caricature, a
37:23
caricature, a caricature, a character, a caricature of
37:29
herself. She's literally lying to us, and
37:32
she's actually told us so many times that she's lying to us.
37:36
She is the wizard behind the curtain.
37:39
She's actually the coward who claimed he was a lion in the I
37:44
Can Do It with a Broken Heart performance with Travis, which
37:47
was crazy. I really think that was her
37:49
cementing that this era of herself is a lie and a persona.
37:55
It's a Miss Americana straight heiress tour era.
38:00
I really do believe that her performing during the heiress
38:03
tour was an era and of itself. It was this NFL Chiefs.
38:08
I have a boyfriend, I'm going to settle down good girl, goody 2
38:13
shoes, almost conservative Hallmark in order to expand her
38:17
brand era. And I think she did such a 180
38:20
in order to show us that this is so not me.
38:23
That's what I think. He's literally part of the
38:26
performance on the Era store. And in the performance, she
38:29
says, I can show you lies. Like, I'm not happy.
38:32
And she brings him on stage. Come on, you guys.
38:37
And like, it's them both in this performance pretending to be
38:41
happy and performing as a straight couple, but they're not
38:45
even together. That's the basis of the theory,
38:48
I think in Dear Reader. And again, this goes back to
38:51
Midnight's and I think Dear Reader really tells us a lot.
38:54
Also the manuscript as well. And it's interesting that these
38:57
are always like kind of like the last songs on the album, the
39:00
ones that I think she's being most real in.
39:02
But in Dear Reader, she is talking, in my theory, she's
39:06
talking to the people that are actually reading the lyrics, not
39:10
necessarily that she's going to write a book.
39:11
I think she will. But Dear Reader is like those
39:14
who actually read the read my lyrics and are interpreting it
39:18
like how I mean it to be. So the gaitlers, this is my
39:21
message for you. I wander through these nights.
39:23
I prefer hiding in plain sight. Like I referenced before, these
39:27
desperate prayers are prayers of a cursed man.
39:29
So this kind of goes back to like the man theory that she
39:32
pretends to, like, write from the male perspective when really
39:35
like she's writing from her own perspective, spilling out to you
39:38
for free. But darling, darling, please,
39:41
you wouldn't take my word for it if you knew who was talking.
39:43
She's like, if you even knew the real me, you wouldn't believe
39:46
what I'm saying. She's telling us this if you
39:49
knew where I was walking to a house, not a home, all alone
39:52
because nobody's there. She's like, I'm alone.
39:54
I'm not with Joe where I paste in my pen.
39:59
She's trapped. And my friend's friend, friends
40:01
who care, my friends found friends who care.
40:04
No one sees when you lose when you're playing solitaire.
40:06
And I think that last line is showing us like, she's lost so
40:10
many of these battles in order to try to tell us her true self.
40:14
She's like, don't even try to like view me as a hero anymore.
40:17
No one sees that I'm losing all these little battles.
40:19
No one sees the real thing because we can't see it.
40:23
The only thing we see is this Miss Americana, America's Angel
40:28
NFL straight performance performance art LER OK, It just
40:34
makes sense, especially with like all of her public events.
40:38
She goes to her Chiefs outings, She's working.
40:42
This is not her just like hanging out.
40:44
She's working. She's incorporating these into
40:46
her schedule in order to like make it make sense for her
40:50
performance art. And I think that it's such a one
40:53
80 like I said before, so that we pick up on it.
40:56
This is another question I have. Is this whole Miss Americana
41:00
Goody 2 shoes chiefs like wearing her braids and these
41:04
conservative outfits? Is this going to end when the
41:08
air is to her ends or is this the true her?
41:11
I don't think it's a true her given everything she said in
41:14
TTPD about literally herself and the heiress to her that like the
41:17
idea of what we see surrounding the heiress to her is like
41:20
happy. Everything's so bright.
41:21
But reality TTPD is like, I'm literally trapped.
41:24
I'm in a mental hospital and I think that she's like being
41:29
forced to perform this character and when it all ends, she
41:35
doesn't have to play that person anymore.
41:37
She's also so much more public ever since the heiress tour
41:40
started. And her public persona is not
41:43
even similar to like what we hear about what she says in
41:46
interviews, that she's like a quiet person.
41:48
She loves to bake. She's like, and obviously people
41:51
have like, I'm not saying she like doesn't go out and stuff,
41:54
but like she has all these queer friends and she's like a
41:57
literary genius and stuff. It doesn't really make sense
42:00
that this is like what she's showing us now doesn't really
42:04
match up from like who she said she was.
42:07
And she always says you want to be a private person.
42:10
I don't think she needs to be as private as like she was during
42:13
the whole year where she was silent or whatever.
42:16
But the public events that she's going to are so constructed that
42:22
it's not like this is just so happens that there's PR and
42:26
media at the restaurant she's going to.
42:28
These are like constructed events.
42:30
And I think this is her way of being like, oh, look, I'll give
42:33
you guys the public events, but by the way, it's you're not even
42:36
seeing me. So I'm not even being vulnerable
42:38
if I'm just working and going to this bar and restaurant like
42:41
this is APR event. This is part of my performance.
42:45
Ever since, like leading up to the air store, she even started
42:48
to get more public and everyone says, oh, guys, she gets to be
42:50
public with Travis. How she's acting with him in
42:55
public is not how like is not casual or chill.
43:00
It's a play about two famous people in love.
43:06
Another point of like proof for how constructed this is, is the
43:09
fact that Donna Kelsey literally is like gonna be in a Hallmark
43:12
movie funded by the chiefs about a love story.
43:15
It's called a chief's love story.
43:18
Do we really think that that would be put on if not for the
43:21
PR surrounding Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce?
43:24
Like they are not a private family that just so happens to
43:26
be put in the spotlight. They are in control and
43:29
constructing the entire media frenzy surrounding this.
43:34
The theory is that the PR relationship, the entire thing
43:36
is performance art and is almost like a critique on our Society
43:40
of like, look what you guys will obsess over.
43:44
The whole thing is like a show within a show.
43:48
It's crazy. She's a mastermind.
43:50
Is this whole show of herself really the version of like
43:54
Cinderella with the Prince and like dressing up and being so
43:57
public? And then when the clock strikes
43:59
midnight, will she burn down this image of herself and become
44:04
like the real her and we will see the real her?
44:07
That's not this curated bedazzled like Queen, right?
44:13
Like that's with Travis Kelsey. Will we see her and will she
44:17
ghost the Prince? Will she burn down the lover
44:21
house? Will she release karma?
44:23
Will she show us the real her instead of the character that
44:26
she is performing? These are all the questions I
44:30
ask you to ponder them. You guys know where I stand.
44:34
The whole thing is fucking crazy.
44:36
All of these theories are really just meshing together and it
44:39
makes so much sense for this story, this transformation, this
44:44
yellow brick road of coming out. And like we meet the real her
44:50
when the clock strikes midnight. It's it would be iconic because
44:57
at the end of the day, we're reading her lyrics and her
45:00
lyrics are telling us this story.
45:03
That's what I'm reading and that's where I'm getting my
45:05
theories from. So those are the theories.
45:10
I hope you guys have a great week.
45:12
Obviously, the next seven days are gonna be insane.
45:16
I cannot believe that this is the end of the entire Eras Tour.
45:23
I'm excited and curious and scared about what's going to
45:27
happen next and I'm just really excited to be a part of this
45:31
community and the excitement surrounding it is just so fun
45:35
and awesome and it's been great. I'm so excited to find out what.
45:40
Happened. It just feels like we're in a
45:42
rising action and we're going to find out.
45:46
Reminder to please subscribe to my YouTube again.
45:49
I know not all of you watch on video.
45:52
You don't even. Have to have an account?
45:53
Just subscribe or you can follow me on Spotify.
45:55
If you do that, I will release my special bonus episode this
46:00
week with a special Galer creator that you all know and
46:04
are aware of. I'm certain of it.
46:05
And we will talk about our theories, what we think about
46:09
the end of the era is tour and all of that.
46:11
So that's the agenda. Again, I'm going to go live on
46:15
Friday, perhaps on Sunday, probably on Sunday, twist my
46:20
arm. That's the plan.
46:22
I'm going to go back up to New York.
46:24
I'm going to focus on Taylor Swift and Taylor Swift only.
46:29
I'm not going to think about Trump getting elected.
46:31
If you guys can't tell, I haven't really talked about it
46:33
because I am in denial. And Taylor Swift is consuming
46:38
all my brain, which is literally what I need in my life.
46:43
I'm hoping something crazy happens up to there as to her.
46:45
So like, the void will be filled.
46:48
Because if it just ends and she goes back into hiding this
46:51
community, we're going to need to find something else to focus
46:54
on. Because I can't just think about
46:57
public affairs. I just can't think about, you
47:01
know, the end of our democracy. We're going to have to think
47:04
about something else. So anyways, love you guys.
47:08
I'm so excited. I'm just freaking out
47:12
internally. OK, have a great week.
47:15
See you in a few days, hopefully for my next bonus episode.
