Guys of the showgirl is removed and all of a sudden the real her
0:04
is there. She's literally a genius.
0:05
And again, if she's not the genius, I think we're really
0:08
smart and like we should all do something together.
0:10
Maybe we should write an album and start a career.
0:22
Hi guys, welcome back to GASP the pod, the podcast with the
0:27
girls, the gays, and especially the gay girls.
0:30
Today we're talking about an already queer icon, Taylor
0:33
Swift. What the fuck is going on with
0:35
Taylor Swift? What the fuck is happening?
0:38
Right? I have strong opinions, the
0:40
theory that I feel very passionate about and let me know
0:45
if I convince you by the end of this episode on what I think she
0:48
is Easter egging and telling us is about to happen.
0:52
OK? Taylor Swift is on the yellow
0:53
brick road of her career. I believe she's about to get to
0:57
the final destination, TS 13. This is something she's been
1:00
planning for for most of her career.
1:03
Taylor Swift has been seen more out and about in the last few
1:06
weeks than she has in years. Literally years.
1:10
The last time she was this active and popped this many
1:13
times was in 2015. OK, and I don't think that
1:17
that's just a coincidence. That was right before her
1:20
cancellation. So what the hell is going on you
1:23
may ask? A non Swifty would say, oh
1:26
nothing, she's just busy. She's just like out in the town,
1:29
let her live. A normie Swifty would say, and
1:33
no offense to these people, but they would say getting ready for
1:36
her wedding. She's just in her bridal era.
1:39
No guys, no, this is much, much more.
1:42
If you follow Taylor Swift patterns, this is not her just
1:45
like putting together a cute outfit and going to dinner.
1:49
She's been out so often. This is not normal for her.
1:52
Even before she like went into hiding.
1:55
Like that's actually crazy. We know there's much more
1:58
bubbling under the surface. This is not a re record.
2:02
I did think a few weeks ago she was like maybe getting ready for
2:05
debut. I'll talk about that theory as
2:07
well in this episode. This is Taylor Swift, in my
2:09
opinion, Easter egging her biggest project yet.
2:12
The project that will break the blender, the industry blender
2:16
and reframe her celebrity dumb and career forever.
2:20
I think it's going to be TS13. And TS13 is not just going to be
2:24
another album, it's going to be so much more.
2:26
This episode I'm digging into all of the 2026 Easter eggs and
2:31
every single outfit and all of the clues and queer flagging
2:34
left by Taylor and exploring options for what she could be
2:38
cooking up. And like other people's theories
2:40
and what I think about those theories.
2:42
But most of all this episode is going to be proving to you and
2:46
showing to you all by the end of the episode why I believe
2:49
Taylors next era will be her biggest 1 yet.
2:52
Because she's about to show us her true self, potentially her
2:56
queerest self. Walk down this yellow brick road
2:58
with me. Come along.
2:59
So the pop walks. The pop walks.
3:02
If you were on the Internet and you follow Taylor Swift and you
3:06
follow pop culture, you will have probably seen one of these
3:09
outfits pop up on your For You page.
3:11
In a span of nine days, Taylor Swift was popped 7 times.
3:16
We literally haven't seen that action in 10 years.
3:19
I don't think that that timing is a coincidence.
3:21
That was back in 2015 that the last time we saw her do this
3:25
many pop shots in this amount of time and so I'm recording this
3:28
on Tuesday. I'm hopefully dropping this on
3:31
Tuesday night, May 19th. It may be out Wednesday.
3:34
I don't know how quick I can edit this, but I wanted to wait
3:37
to the last second to record this just in case there was
3:40
another pap walk or something last night, which there was not
3:44
so I can include it in this video.
3:45
So if there's something else tonight, I apologize for not
3:48
getting on that, But I don't really think there is going to
3:50
be something at least in the next few days.
3:53
Because I feel like when she stopped doing those looks and
3:56
I'll get into her last look at the wedding and she was wearing
3:58
a green dress. I feel like that's not a
4:01
coincidence. But I think she wanted to hit
4:04
this active mark to bring us back to the last time she was
4:08
this active, which was 2015. That was her cancellation right
4:11
before her cancellation in 2016, where I think a lot of this
4:15
started. And it's not just her
4:17
cancellation, it's also what I believe was her attempted coming
4:21
out with Karma and how that got thwarted.
4:24
And then also it led to her master's being stolen, etcetera,
4:27
etcetera. So I think that this is like a
4:29
crucial part in her life and career.
4:33
This was perhaps the time 20/15/2016 that she was writing
4:36
Karma and then that got the theory is that that was not
4:40
released for multiple reasons. Part of it was because it was
4:44
maybe pretty gay. And I have a whole episode on
4:48
karma, but, and I'm going to get into the karma theory later on
4:51
in this episode as well. Like how I think that there
4:53
could be we could be getting karma in a way, but this era was
4:58
right before her hiding way and Reputation, by the way, is one
5:01
of her queer's albums. A lot of her pop walks, a lot of
5:04
black and white right before her second attempt at coming out, at
5:08
least my theory of her second attempt of coming out during
5:12
Lover, which was a Rainbow album.
5:14
So we're going to get into these theories a little bit more.
5:16
But the point is that the fact that she has not been this
5:20
active since right before the Reputation era, I think is
5:24
significant, very significant. OK, I'm going to go through all
5:30
of the 2026 outings that we've seen of her.
5:33
And these are all the times that she's that she either knows that
5:37
she's getting popped or she has called the pops herself.
5:40
This is not a dig. This is what celebrities do all
5:42
the time. She does this intentionally.
5:44
Taylor Swift has told us that what she wears and like the
5:47
clothing she wears is an Easter egg.
5:50
OK, so that's literally what she's told us outright.
5:54
So I don't think that this is like her not wanting to be
5:57
popped. Like this is her intentionally
5:59
showing us looks to connect us to either past work or future
6:05
work. So this is every single time in
6:07
the year of 2026. I have scoured the Internet so
6:11
if this is not accurate and I somehow missed an outing, not
6:16
one of the major outings, it might have been something more
6:19
low key and I apologize, but I really don't think that I missed
6:22
anything. OK so the first time we see her
6:25
out in 2026 is January 14th. She's out of dinner with Travis
6:30
in LA and she's wearing a tan jacket and a white skirt.
6:34
Looking back now, it is very interesting seeing the trends of
6:38
everything because she rarely wears color in any of the
6:42
outings we've seen in the last five months.
6:46
And when she does, it's green, OK, It's green or blue.
6:50
We're starting off with tan and white, right?
6:53
Then February 26th comes around and she has dinner and she's
6:56
going to dinner with Travis in New York.
6:59
She's wearing a black coat and black boots.
7:02
Still on par with a lot of the outfits we've seen with her in
7:05
May of wearing muted black and white and tans.
7:09
OK. Then March 26th, this is the
7:12
iHeartRadio Music Awards with Travis.
7:15
She is wearing that light green skirt set.
7:18
OK. This is the time where a lot of
7:21
us were thinking she was still in the life of a showgirl era.
7:25
Looking back now, I can see that in 2026, this is the beginning
7:31
of her in her new era. We didn't know it yet.
7:34
This is all on par with what we've been seeing, at least in
7:38
the last two weeks, the trends that we've been seeing in her
7:40
outfit. So I think 2026 happened and
7:42
she's boom, I'm going to begin slowly setting up for this next
7:48
era and we are in the new era because she was wearing like sea
7:51
foam green. I think it worked perfectly
7:54
because people weren't really catching on to the fact that it
7:57
was maybe a new era. And I will get to why the green
8:00
is relevant to this new era. But people were thinking, okay,
8:04
we're still in life of a showgirl because we saw this
8:07
like light green in the life of a showgirl.
8:10
We know now. No matter what theory you
8:13
believe in right now, it's pretty certain that this is not
8:18
just life of a showgirl. OK, we are revving up for
8:21
something. We know this is something you
8:23
guys. And I think this color was
8:25
perfect because it could be for a lot of things and it's sending
8:28
people like intentionally, she's sending people in different
8:31
directions. So the teal and I was kind of
8:34
thinking maybe this is debut and I'll get to the debut theory.
8:37
She's wearing teal. Some people were thinking life
8:39
of showgirl, blah, blah, blah blah blah, right?
8:42
So at this point it's like, OK, she's in life of showgirl era.
8:46
Looking back now, we know this is on trend with the only color
8:50
that's not black and white and muted colors that she's worn at
8:54
all in 2026. That's crazy.
8:57
That's crazy. Then we have April 9th.
8:59
She is going to dinner with Ashley, her wife.
9:03
Probably. At this point, not really.
9:05
I don't even know what I think about Ashley Avignon.
9:07
Like, she is Taylor's longtime friend.
9:10
Could she be her longtime wife? Like, yeah.
9:12
Like, hide her in plain sight. I don't know if I really feel
9:16
the chemistry between them, but they're always together.
9:20
Like always together. When Taylor goes out to dinner,
9:24
9 times out of 10 it's with Ashley.
9:27
Taylor is wearing this white silk shirt and a black top.
9:31
So again, black and white. Then jumped to April 27th, end
9:35
of April, guess who she's with? Again, it's dinner with Ashley
9:39
and her dad in New York City. But this is the very very
9:43
important where all of us, all of her Spidey senses are fucking
9:48
firing off in many different directions.
9:51
Everyone in the Swifty community.
9:52
Okay, this is the night that she was wearing the yellow brick
9:56
road slash Dorothy slash Toy Story outfit.
10:00
She's wearing a yellow bag and she's wearing a blue and white
10:03
striped dress. It is the most Dorothy outfit
10:07
ever. People at the time that weren't
10:10
thinking it was Wizard of Oz were like, Oh my God, debut
10:13
debut. A lot of these theories could go
10:15
for a lot of different things, and I do think that that's
10:17
intentional until it's like slowly obvious that it's not
10:21
just debut and it's not just the wedding era.
10:25
And we are all at that point where I think a lot of us are
10:28
like, this is something bigger. Then a few days later, April
10:33
30th is when we see that countdown appear on her website
10:37
that then quickly disappeared before it could get to its final
10:42
resting place, which is 000000. Now this is a fucking glitch,
10:48
OK? If it was a real countdown,
10:51
Taylor Nation wouldn't have just made it expire.
10:54
Either it means something, or it's a glitch, or both.
10:57
I realize that the amount of time, if you don't view it in
11:00
terms of hours, but you view it in terms of days, it ends up
11:03
being right. It ends up expiring the timer
11:06
right around the day that Toy Story 5 will be released.
11:10
And of course, people connected the clouds in the background of
11:14
the countdown and then her outfit from April 27th to be Toy
11:18
Story. And at this point, a lot of
11:20
people were like, OK, she's just hinting to Toy Story and that's
11:24
about it. Would I be surprised if she
11:26
releases something for Toy Story?
11:28
No. Do I think that that means that
11:30
there's no way she could also be egging for another thing,
11:34
another bigger thing? No, I think she's like a genius
11:38
and can do all these things at once.
11:39
She can easily write a song for the Toy Story movie and also beg
11:44
for a new album of hers. And maybe she's going to try to
11:47
do an Oscar, get an Oscar nom for it, probably because I think
11:50
she wants an EGOT. But I think there's a lot of
11:52
Swifties at this point. They were like, OK, boom,
11:54
whatever, it's just Toy Story. But the fact that the countdown
11:59
expired is something that's so poignant here to me.
12:03
They don't just do things by accident.
12:06
A lot of people are like, maybe it was an accident.
12:07
It's a glitch, guys. The Dorothy outfit, I believe
12:11
she's wearing red shoes, the rubies that she gave up.
12:15
You can't you can't make it up. What does that remind us of you
12:18
guys? Oh, I don't know.
12:19
In the Karma music video when she dressed up as Dorothy and is
12:23
walking down the yellow brick road, friend of Dorothy.
12:26
We're the friends of Dorothy, by the way.
12:28
And so before she's like, you know, could be egging for a
12:31
bunch of different eras. I think this is the beginning of
12:33
in her mind I am egging for this album very clearly, which I
12:38
think is TS13. The beginning of her on the
12:42
yellow brick road as Dorothy. And guess what the fuck.
12:45
I just realized that is April 27th for 27th.
12:50
That's the day that she wore the Dorothy Wizard of Oz dress.
12:56
OK, or you could say it's Toy Story, but I don't believe that.
12:59
April 27th, 427. If you add it all up, what does
13:03
it equal? 13 TS Fucking 13.
13:07
I think the beginning of her egging very clearly is April
13:11
27th. Then we have this series of an
13:15
amount of pop walks that we have not seen since 2015, right
13:21
around the time that she may have been writing Karma.
13:23
April 30th. That's when we get this glitch.
13:27
OK, when next do we see her? Very quickly, May 1st, This New
13:31
York Times interview, she's wearing a black top and a cream
13:34
silk skirt. Like she's getting really
13:37
active. It's not a coincidence she
13:39
doesn't just get active out of nowhere in this interview where
13:42
she literally talks about how she does not like when fans
13:47
assign male muses to her songs and paternity test.
13:52
That That's May 1st the day after the glitch that happens
13:56
like this is actually crazy. I also want to add why do I feel
13:59
like I'm giving? And if you're watching this on
14:01
video, why do I feel like I'm really giving?
14:03
Taylor Swift and the Opalite music video.
14:05
Speaking of Opalite, we did get the Opalite music video in
14:10
February. You could argue maybe she didn't
14:13
start really egging this new era until April 27th and that that's
14:18
when the new era started and the Life of Showgirl era ended.
14:22
I'm on board with that as well because that would have been
14:25
after the iHeartRadio Music Awards as well.
14:27
And like the Life of Showgirl era was not very long.
14:30
If we're in a new era, which I strongly believe that we are,
14:34
that was pretty quick, pretty short and sweet.
14:36
She's like, let's get this glitch out of the way and move
14:38
right along. I think that's also why we see
14:40
such a difference in the New York Times interview.
14:43
And I know that the New York Times interview was about her
14:45
songwriting, but how different that interview was compared to
14:49
the interviews that she did with the life of Showgirl and how
14:53
much they were focused on Travis and the relationship and not so
14:56
much her songwriting. And yes, that might be the
14:59
interviewer's faults, but it's like she was down to be froufy
15:04
with the life of a showgirl, OK, for most of it because she was
15:07
playing a character. And she also said that.
15:11
So May 1st New York Times interview, blacktop cream skirt
15:15
silk. This is the first outfit she's
15:18
wearing or that we see her wearing after the Toy Story
15:22
Wizard of Oz outfit. OK, then we get into this little
15:25
stint of her and Travis in London.
15:28
And I'm going to pause this very quickly right there to talk
15:31
about some updates and reminders.
15:33
If you are listening this far into the episode.
15:35
Thank you so much. And if you are, that must mean
15:38
that you like my content to a certain amount.
15:40
And I would really, really appreciate if you subscribe
15:42
wherever you're listening or watching this.
15:44
It really helps on YouTube, on Spotify, on Apple so that more
15:49
people can see my content. Rate me 5 stars if you enjoy.
15:52
Because lately I've been seeing some homophobes that say turn to
15:56
Christ bro. And then they rate me really low
15:58
because they're homophobic, which is super unfair.
16:01
So if you would like to counteract some homophobia
16:03
today, I would very much appreciate and that's free.
16:06
I also have bonus content on Patreon.
16:08
Also, Pride is coming up very quickly and swiftly.
16:12
If you have any Pride ideas for some pride content or Pride or a
16:16
pride series, I can do, whether that's bonus content, TikTok,
16:20
YouTube, Spotify, like regular podcasts, let me know.
16:25
I'm open to anything. That also goes for like episode
16:27
ideas in general. Like sometimes people give me an
16:29
idea and then I literally do an episode on it.
16:31
So let me know. And then also I'm going to do
16:34
one piece of Pride merch. I did a bunch of pride merch
16:37
last year, but I think I just want to focus on like one
16:39
awesome cellar design for merch this year.
16:43
It won't just be like my podcast name.
16:45
Like it might be like Gaylord, it might be Swifty, it might be
16:48
gay in general, it might be pop culture, it could be anything.
16:52
Any ideas for pride merch? Like someone told me that I
16:55
should write God is a Gaylord on a shirt and then I made it and
16:58
then people bought it. So like you know what I mean.
17:01
Let me know if you've any pride merch ideas that could be fun
17:04
for people to wear like protests and also just like out during
17:07
pride. OK thank you so much for
17:08
listening to that, really appreciate it.
17:11
Putting on a podcast actually takes a lot of time and money.
17:13
I want to be able to continue to do this and also would love to
17:16
be able to quit my barista job so that I could do this full
17:19
time and give out episodes every single week.
17:21
But I can't afford to do that right now.
17:23
So if you can monetarily support me, I would very much appreciate
17:26
that. Let's get back into the looks of
17:28
Taylor and Travis in London, OK, After May 1st, after the New
17:31
York Times interview comes out, it is May 7th and we see Taylor
17:36
and Travis pop out unannounced in London.
17:39
They're going to dinner and they're also attending the Romeo
17:43
and Juliet play at Sadie. Sync was in.
17:46
So a lot of people are like, Oh, my God, she's just supporting.
17:48
But people that are hip to Taylor Swift's actions know that
17:52
there's always something more to like everything she does in
17:55
public. OK.
17:56
She wouldn't have walked in the front door if she didn't want us
18:00
to see what she was wearing and what she was doing.
18:02
So do I think it's very interesting that she went to a
18:04
play of Romeo and Juliet written by Shakespeare?
18:08
What was also written by Shakespeare?
18:10
Oh, I don't know, Hamlet, what was very much inspiring the life
18:15
of showgirl and the fate of Ophelia.
18:17
Oh yeah, Hamlet. Ophelia is one of the main
18:19
characters in the play of Hamlet.
18:22
And what happens in Hamlet, the play within the the play In
18:26
Hamlet, there is literally a play within a play.
18:29
And I actually did a podcast episode on how I think the life
18:31
of a showgirl is a play within a play.
18:33
So I do think it's really fucking crazy that Taylor Swift
18:36
brought Travis. Whether or not they're actually
18:39
together, you guys doesn't even matter because they are using
18:42
their relationship for PR OK? It doesn't really matter.
18:46
And also, while I'm on that point, it doesn't even matter
18:49
for her sexuality, OK? She could still be very, very
18:52
gay and be really with Travis. Do I think she's really
18:56
romantically with Travis? I don't think that that's where
18:59
her priorities are. I'll just say that I don't think
19:01
her priorities are a romantic relationship with Travis right
19:04
now. It seems that in this era, the
19:06
wedding is not what she's thinking about.
19:08
I'm going to be honest. OK, so she attends Romeo and
19:12
Juliet with her on screen and in public.
19:17
Beyoncé that she is using for the play, that is Taylor Swift
19:22
and that is the showgirl. The entirety of the showgirl era
19:26
is her talking about how she's playing out what people really
19:29
want to see. Her life is like a scene in a
19:32
play. That's why she had Travis come
19:34
on stage, because she is playing into the character of Taylor
19:37
Swift the showgirl, as a person that is not actually her.
19:42
She is an artist. Her life has been made
19:44
spectacle, world has reflected onto her what they want from
19:48
her, which is a true love story and romance.
19:52
So she gave them that. She gave the world what they
19:55
wanted, a love story. Isn't it ironic that they went
19:58
to Romeo and Juliet? A love story?
20:00
So she decided to lean into this narrative, lean into it and
20:03
therefore take control of it and perform this play back to the
20:09
world. It's pretty genius, if true, at
20:11
this play within a play. What is she wearing?
20:14
She is wearing a black dress with greenish flowers.
20:18
They're kind of orangey as well. I mean, you could say that that
20:22
was like showgirl esque. I still think the fact that it
20:26
is mostly a black outfit is what's important here.
20:29
And the slight floral element. Some people were still thinking
20:31
debut, but I was very interested that we were already in May.
20:35
You're wearing a lot of black and at this point, this is not
20:40
just debut. When Taylor Swift is egging in
20:43
era, she wouldn't just wear black a lot if it's just debut.
20:47
That's why I'm not fully convinced.
20:48
The debut theory that I was kind of thinking was going to happen
20:52
the next day she is popped. It is May 8th, popped in London
20:56
with Travis again and she is wearing a black lace dress and a
21:00
black jacket. She looks so good and at this
21:03
point this should be very clear that we're not heading towards
21:06
debut. There is so much black than May
21:08
11th. She's back in New York City,
21:10
she's going out to dinner possibly for Mother's Day with
21:13
her parents in New York City. She is wearing a black mini
21:16
dress with silver. Now we're wearing black again.
21:19
Okay, like what's happening then?
21:22
May 12th, like we are boom boom, boom.
21:24
This was crazy to live through. By the way, she is going to
21:27
dinner with Ashley, OK, Lena Dunham, etcetera in New York
21:32
City. She is wearing a white knit
21:34
dress and a black bow in her hair that some people think is
21:37
silk. So there's a lot of white and
21:40
black, only white and black since this Dorothy outfit.
21:44
Then that was May 12th. You guys, I haven't heard anyone
21:47
else say this, but May 13th, May 13th, where is she?
21:51
She's nowhere. She is out and about May 7th,
21:54
May 8th. I think she would have been out
21:57
May 9th and May 10th, but she was like probably, I think she
22:00
was in Greece or something at a wedding and then flew back to
22:03
New York. OK, back on the grind for the
22:06
Easter egg and May 11th, she's out.
22:07
May 12th, she's out. May 13th.
22:09
She is not. May 14th, she's out.
22:11
May 15th, she's out. May 16th, she's out, but not the
22:14
13th. Yeah, I think that's
22:16
interesting. Then we have May 14th.
22:19
She's popped in New York City and she's wearing a white peplum
22:22
top. I really like this outfit and a
22:24
black belt. White and black again.
22:27
It's actually crazy. May 15th out again, dinner with
22:30
Travis in New York City. She is wearing a cream and kind
22:34
of floral dress. It has like kind of green
22:37
flower. So when she does wear color
22:38
again, it is like green or blue. Travis very notably, is wearing
22:43
a shirt with literal daisies on it.
22:46
You can't make that shit up. That's a Kaylor shout out.
22:50
And I just want to add that we didn't make up the Daisy thing.
22:53
Taylor and Carly, it is very clear that the Daisy is a symbol
22:58
of their relationship. Whether you think that that's
23:00
friendship or not is up to you, but objectively that is a symbol
23:04
for girly Kloss like and they know that.
23:06
Then we have May 16th. This is a wedding she's
23:09
attending with Travis in New York City.
23:11
She is finally not wearing black and white for the first time
23:15
since April 27th and she is wearing a green or arguably
23:20
bronze dress. I truly believe this is a green
23:23
dress. It's OK if you disagree.
23:25
This day, this night. Since then we have not seen her
23:28
out and I believe this is a wrapping up of of her trip down
23:32
the yellow brick road. And on May 16th when she is
23:36
wearing this this green dress, she is wearing earrings that
23:39
each have 13 jewels. The last time she did a very
23:43
clear Easter egg in her earrings, I mean, maybe not, but
23:46
a very similar time she did this was at the 2025 Grammys when she
23:50
wore earrings that each have 12 jewels and a very similar kind
23:54
of style. And this is before she released
23:57
TS 12. And so you like, it's so obvious
24:01
to me that this is TS13. So here's some trends from the
24:05
clothing. And let me just add, she knows
24:07
what the fuck she's doing. She's just not randomly wearing
24:10
these outfits, you guys. These are the trends, These are
24:13
the commonalities we see from her outfits.
24:15
Black, white creams, muted colors, light green flowers and
24:21
silks. The Dorothy outfit color palette
24:24
is so different and stands out so much from all of her other
24:28
outfits. And right after the Dorothy
24:31
outfit we get the countdown and then she starts wearing dark
24:34
outfits that slowly turn to light to lighter outfits until
24:41
boom, she's at the wedding and she wears green.
24:44
I think that is her as Dorothy walking down the yellow brick
24:47
road, getting to the Emerald City and wearing green to
24:52
showcase that she's closer to home.
24:54
She's closer to being able to go home and be her true self.
24:58
It's also like a dark to light kind of karma asks to the
25:01
underworld in heaven. People have also pointed out the
25:04
amount of silks that she's wearing.
25:06
Some people have a theory that she's cocooning the showgirl and
25:09
is about to turn into a butterfly about to have a
25:11
rebirth in TS13. I love that theory too.
25:16
Some people have said that that lends itself to debut theory.
25:20
I see that personally, I'm just really not seeing so much debut
25:24
anymore. I'm like did she just forget
25:26
that she ever told us that we would get debut and reputation
25:30
TV belt tracks in her master's? Some people have some Tavis
25:35
theories going on of course and I won't say some.
25:37
I will say all or most. People are saying this is just
25:41
her bridal era. You are interpreting her outfits
25:45
as about being Travis related and wedding related.
25:47
Isn't that saying that an Easter egg is her personal life?
25:52
So you're being hypocritical. Okay.
25:54
But no, I don't think that this is her Easter egging her own
25:57
wedding. It could be her promoting her
25:58
own wedding. But I really think that there's
26:00
a lot of work behind this that's happening, like her own music
26:04
and a project that's happening. And maybe it's not music, maybe
26:06
it's a play, maybe it's a show, maybe it's a book.
26:09
Like if she was egging her wedding, why would she be
26:11
wearing so much black? Like Jesus it's not a funeral.
26:14
Some people think that she's going to release something on
26:16
August 7th because it is 87 and 87.
26:19
Oh my God, Travis Kelce and it is National Hand loom day.
26:23
OK stretch of the century. What the same people that are
26:26
like OK Gaylors stretch, Gaylors stretch to make everything fit
26:29
their narrative. National hand loom day.
26:33
If silk means anything, and it could, wouldn't she release
26:37
something on National Silk Day which is September 20th?
26:42
That makes way more sense. But no, you want to fit the
26:44
narrative of 8-7 and that's your own prerogative.
26:47
But then don't act like gaylords are stretching the narrative
26:49
when you're like National hand loom day.
26:52
September 20th National Silk Day makes way more sense.
26:54
If you want to use silk as an Easter egg.
26:56
Here's the argument for Debut. The argument for Debut is that
27:00
it's the twenty 20th anniversary since Debut was released in
27:04
2020, not 2020, 2006, it's 2026 Avi and apparently I think that
27:12
that it would be October. So I mean, listen, who knows,
27:16
maybe we get debut as well in October.
27:18
So you could say that the Dorothy outfit is debut.
27:21
Personally, Flowers is more debut to me.
27:24
She's wearing some florals, but not overwhelmingly florals for
27:28
spring. Groundbreaking.
27:29
Like it doesn't mean we're getting debut necessarily.
27:31
Perhaps there's going to be a debut song in Toy Story 5, which
27:34
comes out June 19th. I wouldn't be surprised at that.
27:37
Or she releases an original. I don't fucking know.
27:40
I'm not really. I don't really care very much
27:43
about the Toy Story thing. So again, I don't think that
27:45
that means that anything else is not going to have.
27:48
Here's the argument for reputation that for a second I
27:51
was like, whoa, lots of black and white outfits, but that's
27:54
kind of it. And again, I want reputation
27:57
vault tracks. She said she would give us
27:59
reputation vault tracks, but again, she lies and maybe we
28:03
won't ever get them. Something else that I don't
28:06
think is the craziest thing because I'm all aboard crazy
28:09
theories like she ends up doing this shit right when we think
28:13
she's going to do something expected she does something
28:15
unexpected. So it's more expected for her to
28:18
do something unexpected at this point.
28:20
So for her to actually do deputation could see it
28:23
happening. Trends of the dark outfit
28:26
slightly slowly turning into light that's really giving me
28:30
Deputation vibes, like the contrast of Debut and This
28:33
Innocence and then Reputation. This dark album would be kind of
28:37
sick. Again, I don't know how people
28:38
theorize this, if they think it's going to be combined or
28:41
just released. At the same time, I don't know.
28:43
The colors she's worn are Blues and greens and then black and
28:46
white. So like that could lend itself
28:48
to Deputation. I think I'd be a good way to
28:50
combine them before TS13. But again, guys, something my
28:54
Spidey sense is it's just everything is leading to karma
28:57
and or TS13. Let's get into those most
29:00
special theories for me. And the whole point of this
29:03
episode, in my opinion, is why I think we're getting something
29:06
big. OK, the argument for Karma is I
29:10
mean in the Ice Vice version it's Karma's about a pop up
29:13
unannounced. She keeps saying 222.
29:16
Karma's not just a track. Karma was an Easter egg for the
29:19
fact that we were going to get an entire new album of Karma.
29:23
OK Karma was not written twice on the man wall for no reason.
29:27
The Karma theory is so strong. She was smirking when she
29:30
announced the track for Karma. It is not nothing.
29:34
OK, Karma is orange and I think Showgirl is the glitch.
29:38
Showgirl was the one thing that was different in Taylor's
29:42
universe. The Showgirl era was supposed to
29:45
be orange. Like she went to the orange door
29:48
after the Errors tour and then all of a sudden she like
29:50
releases this album called the Life of Showgirl and it's giving
29:53
orange theme. But then like it wasn't though.
29:56
Like what if Showgirl is the bait and switch or the glitch
30:01
with the countdown as well? We're getting a lot of glitch
30:03
references and Karma is the death of a showgirl.
30:08
I think this light and the dark like this makes so much sense to
30:11
me that she's talking about the life of a showgirl and then
30:14
reverses it and kills it off with the death of a showgirl.
30:17
I just don't think Karma is nothing.
30:20
And the fact that she hadn't done so many pop walks since
30:22
around 20/15/2016 when it was theorized that she wrote Karma
30:27
and then it was scrapped, and now all of a sudden she has more
30:31
freedom and control over her career and what she can put out
30:34
than she ever has before now that she owns her master's.
30:38
There's something here. The false prophet was the
30:40
showgirl. Maybe she'll kill it off with
30:44
Karma. We're seeing a lot of black and
30:46
I just don't think this is like light and froofy debut and
30:49
wedding season. So that's the argument for
30:52
Karma. Here's what I really think that
30:54
is expanding off of that Karma theory, which is TS13.
30:59
Because here's the crux of it. When she releases this next
31:03
album, it will be TS13, right? So like, even if this next album
31:09
is Karma, it is TS13. Like by the order of albums.
31:13
So what if she's going to combine it all into one?
31:17
TS 13 is Karma. And maybe like, we don't know
31:20
which tracks she wrote before. We don't know which tracks she
31:23
wrote now. Maybe Karma wasn't even an
31:25
album, but was just like an idea that she had or a concept she
31:30
wanted to do and was never able to do.
31:33
Maybe it was something like that, but I believe that she is
31:36
13 in this next era that I really do think she is Easter
31:40
egging as we speak. And I don't think it's going to
31:42
be fall. I think it's going to be before
31:44
that or around the wedding. That may or may not happen.
31:47
And I don't think that's a coincidence of trying to play in
31:50
an album right around to your wedding.
31:52
If anyone's going to do it, Taylor Swift is going to do it.
31:54
And I don't think it's going to be like a happy wedding album.
31:57
I think the entire theme will be Emerald City, Oz, no place like
32:02
home themed. OK.
32:04
And that is all wrapped up in karma in the song and the music
32:08
video for Karma. Just go back to that and you
32:11
will see everything. And it all also works with
32:14
Elizabeth Taylor because she wore Elizabeth Taylor's jewels
32:16
in this last outing on the wedding when she wore this green
32:19
dress where she starts on the yellow brick road and she ends
32:22
up in the Emerald City in a green dress wearing Elizabeth
32:26
Taylor's jewels. In the Elizabeth Taylor music
32:28
video, she, she puts in this moment clip of Elizabeth Taylor
32:32
playing Cleopatra and she's pushing in the bath this boat,
32:36
this like ancient Egyptian boat that is a reference to the idea
32:40
of heaven. And in karma, she's paddling in
32:43
this boat that is supposed to be heaven.
32:45
And when we when she flips the book, she's in the underworld.
32:49
It is the concept of the light and the dark, heaven and hell,
32:53
the good and the bad, life and death of the showgirl.
32:56
And I think that that's up in her whole career is balancing
32:59
what other people perceive of her versus like who she really
33:01
is. And the book and the story of
33:04
the Wizard of Oz also has a huge element of that as well.
33:08
Dorothy is in black and white and then suddenly is in
33:11
Technicolor. That's pretty crazy that we're
33:14
getting all these white and black outfits.
33:16
And what if the CS 13 is in screaming color?
33:20
It's her third attempt at coming out, the first attempt being
33:24
maybe karma, second attempt being lover, and the third
33:27
attempt being TS 13. She has not yet gone home.
33:31
She needs to find home, right? You know what I mean?
33:34
Like what if home is me in herself?
33:36
Because it all comes back to me in the music video where she
33:38
literally goes to the Emerald City.
33:41
So I think that we're going to see her true self, AKA her
33:45
coming out at least a soft coming out.
33:47
Like I think people are going to be very aware that she's queer.
33:50
That is my theory. That is my truth of she is 13.
33:53
That is a crucial part of this entire theory.
33:56
I don't think we know her and I think a huge element of this is
33:59
her queerness. I don't think that's the entire
34:01
element. And of course the fact that
34:03
Travis Kelsey plays for the Kansas City Chiefs.
34:06
You cannot make that shit up. We're not in Kansas anymore.
34:09
Her re records may be dead and either karma isn't real or karma
34:14
is TS13. Right?
34:15
Karma may be a part of TS13. Like I said, 13 is also
34:20
symbolizes death. I know that she doesn't view it
34:23
as death and like it is now a lucky number for like witches
34:26
it's a lucky number for her. But this could also be related
34:30
to like the death of a showgirl AKA you need to kill the
34:34
showgirl to reveal the real tailor.
34:37
Once she is home, she's on the yellow brick Road home.
34:40
Goodbye yellow brick road which was Elton John's coming out
34:43
song. And then she finally gets the
34:44
Emerald City. There's so many ways she's
34:46
connected to the Wizard of Oz and all the themes here.
34:49
I've talked about it and like many of my episodes, it's hard
34:52
to go through every single thing here.
34:54
She's had so many callbacks to it of like the cowardly lion,
34:59
her dressing up in karma like yellow and yellow symbolizing
35:03
closeting for her, the light and the dark, the out of the woods.
35:07
Her song out of the woods is almost identical to the song
35:10
they sing in the Wizard of Oz when they come out of the woods,
35:13
the travel to the Emerald City, the man behind the curtain, the
35:17
wizard, like they're it's absolutely unreal.
35:21
And she's showing us that on April 27th, which adds up to 13
35:24
and after that it goes from dark to light and she finally gets
35:28
the Emerald City and she is symbolizing that with her outfit
35:32
being green, green and gold at this wedding she's going to with
35:37
Travis Kelce, which is also ironic in of itself.
35:40
All roads lead back to me. Plus it would be her third time
35:43
coming out which is 3 times the charm. 321 Exile is over and she
35:48
can finally go home. Like the clock is ticking from
35:50
Midnight's. And if we really want to go back
35:52
to Midnight's, I do think Midnight's was the beginning of
35:55
setting the scene for these three last eras, like 321,
36:00
counting it down. And that like after Midnight,
36:03
TS-12, the Cinderella guise of the showgirl is removed and all
36:08
of a sudden the real her is there.
36:09
She's literally a genius. And again, if she's not the
36:12
genius, I think we're really smart and like, we should all do
36:15
something together. Maybe we should write an album
36:17
and start a career. Oh, and I completely forgot the
36:20
oldest working showgirl was Dorothy Kloss, which is just
36:25
insane. And I need to add that there is
36:28
a cover photo that she did in this interview that literally
36:32
says I'm not in Kansas anymore. Like again, there's so many
36:36
connections it's it's not even funny.
36:37
And I think we are the friends of Dorothy.
36:40
Mind you, we started calling ourselves friends of Dorothy the
36:43
Gaylors and after we started calling ourselves that, after we
36:47
had a hashtag with thousands of Gaylord posts, she made a mash
36:51
up in the Heiress to her with It's Nice to have a Friend and
36:55
Dorothea, don't forget that part.
36:59
I just think she is the man behind the curtain AKA the
37:02
Wizard. That was like the one telling
37:05
the showgirl what to do. Truly, the theme of this album
37:09
is going to be Wizard of Oz themed.
37:12
Like I don't think it's going to be like Wizard of Oz or called
37:15
Wizard of Oz. I don't know what it's going to
37:17
be called. And like I don't even want to
37:19
theorize because I'm just so excited.
37:21
But the theme is either going to be rainbow greens, like for
37:25
Emerald City, Golden. A lot of people think golden.
37:28
I could totally see the happening.
37:29
She's never done a gold album before or the vibes of her
37:32
finally being home and being hurt yourself, whatever that
37:35
looks like in terms of aesthetic.
37:37
Again, it would finalize her three albums since the S10,
37:40
which was Midnight's, the Torture Poets Department, The
37:43
Showgirl, and then TS 13. Maybe it'll start with the.
37:46
I think these three albums are specifically a trio that she has
37:51
had in her mind for a long time, at least since 2020 and like
37:55
folklore evermore time when she was coming up with Midnight's.
37:59
The fact that in interviews she talks about how the poet and the
38:02
showgirl are different and contrasting is very supportive
38:06
of this theory. She talks about the poet and she
38:08
talks about the showgirl almost like their characters.
38:10
And actually she even says I'm going in and out of character.
38:14
She talks about the poet as not being her.
38:18
Again, like it is her, but it's not.
38:20
It's almost like you're she's portraying this character.
38:23
The poet is like writing a lot, right?
38:26
Letting out all the emotions and then she talks about the
38:30
showgirl and going in and out of character and how the showgirl
38:32
is like this gaudy, sometimes crude, almost like this evil
38:37
type of person. I also have a theory that her
38:40
three albums, The Torture Poets Department, The Life of
38:43
Showgirl, NTS 13 are all the ID, the ego and the Super ego or me,
38:50
myself and I In The Fate of Ophelia, Taylor Swift says I
38:53
swore my loyalty to me, myself and I.
38:55
I think she has this idea of herself in three different ways,
38:59
which is not unique to just her, right?
39:01
This is a Freud theory, the aid, the ego and the Super ego.
39:05
My theory is that TTPD is the poet, obviously, and TTPD is
39:10
myself. OK, AKA the ego.
39:14
Now, I've actually gone back and forth with whether I think the
39:17
poet is the ID or the ego. I think there's arguments for
39:21
both. But I do think the poet is the
39:23
ego as much as she's being very like, like Oh no, I want to
39:27
cheat, whatever. It seems like she's very
39:29
conscious of what she wants and like what she is doing in her
39:34
own mind, OK. The ego is the mediator that
39:37
balances the IDs and pulses with real world constraints.
39:40
And I think saying it is right, Ego is the conscious and
39:43
decision making part of your personality.
39:45
And I feel like that makes sense with the poet, right?
39:47
It is like very conscious depiction of Taylor Swift's
39:51
mind, right? Then we have the life of
39:53
showgirl who which I think is I OK, The showgirl is very self
39:57
focused and I think is also the IT the IT is primitive desires.
40:01
And she even says this, she's like this showgirl album is like
40:05
has these like raunchy jokes, right?
40:07
She's like drinking a lot. It runs on pleasure, demanding,
40:11
immediate, gratifying. Indication like that is what the
40:13
showgirl album and the character is that she's playing.
40:18
She wants to be famous, right? Like think about the song
40:22
Elizabeth Taylor, think about father figure.
40:24
And then we have TS 13. I think is me, me, myself.
40:28
And I think that is more so her true self.
40:32
And I do think that the TS 13 is her super ego.
40:36
Super ego is the moral compass, OK.
40:38
It is the moral standards and ideals drives for for
40:43
perfection. It enforces rules.
40:45
It spans across conscious, preconscious and unconscious
40:48
minds. And I think that this makes the
40:50
most sense for TS13 to have this overarching idea and would make
40:54
more sense for it to be the ME where she understands herself.
40:57
And these two components of like wanting to be famous, wanting to
41:01
be this like straight girl for everyone else, wanting to be
41:06
have all the money in the riches poet and the and the conscious
41:10
desires and the conscious overthinking and all of that
41:14
that comes with the poet. And then we have the awareness
41:17
of of everything. The morality is stepping in
41:21
right and empathy for herself and other people, which I think
41:24
might be TS 13 and I think would really make sense because
41:27
there's a lot of 321. There's a lot of like threes
41:30
going on. And I do think 321 exiles over,
41:33
exiles over and she can finally go home once she exposes the
41:37
fact that the showgirls a character, the poet is a
41:40
character and that the man behind the wizard behind the
41:44
curtain is actually the Super ego.
41:46
It is the real her, me conducting all of it.
41:51
Could be kind of crazy if true. Could be kind of crazy if true.
41:55
Hey guys, it's Haley from the future.
41:57
I'm editing this and I realized I forgot to add a very important
42:00
detail which is I think the poet is the quill pen, the showgirl
42:08
is the glitter pen, and TS13 is the fountain pen.
42:12
Duh. So you guys, that was all of my
42:16
theories surrounding what I think Taylor Swift is cooking
42:19
up. I do think we're getting TS13
42:22
wrapped in with perhaps the death of a showgirl and karma.
42:26
I feel so close, we can taste it.
42:28
