Secret Song & KARMA MUSIC VIDEO reaction: East Rutherford, NJ (Night 1)
Added 2023-05-28 06:20:21 +0000 UTC
100% still recovering from the blessing that was a music video and a Jack appearance, but also from the death & loss that these secret songs caused us.
We didn't realise until too late that there was also a new Speak Now dress, and that Ice Spice came out to perform Karma!
We have a proper long fathoming of the music video at the end of this too :)
PLEASE LET US KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS
PS. apologies for the very annoying lawn mower noise in the background

Just rewatched this and I think it is very interesting that she said that Maroon is about something that happened a long time ago, that feels like a very sneaky confirmation that it is, in fact, about Matty.

Also reminds me of the hill in Moana, which kind of represents Gaia as well 🩷 thank you for the history lesson! It’s much appreciated! I’ve always loved learning about the Gods and Goddesses

In case anyone was wondering what my life has become….. I just spent the first few minutes of the reaction to “Karma” yelling at my screen “JUSTICE” on repeat and then you finally got there and I started clapping. To strangers on my phone from a video filmed many months ago. It’s fine. 🙄🤣❤️

Ice Spice is a Capricorn which is ruled by Saturn. Taylor has a Cancer Moon (which the Moon is the ruler of Cancer). Also Saturn’s planetary significations are VERY Karma lyrics. Like you could replace Karma with Saturn and it would work. Even non-Swiftie astrologers were making memes 😂. But I do think it could also double as a reference to the lyrics in Seven!! It looks like this video is just various types of afterlifes with a heavy focus on greco-roman mythology. The boat at the end is Charon’s ferry to the underworld (Hades). Hades (and Persephone) rule the underworld in Greek Mythology, Hades isn’t the devil though, so it could be referring to more of a Christian afterlife of Hell (with all the devil masks). Agreed with above about the mountain being Gaia or maybe another similar deity. Justitia wouldn’t live on Mount Olympus, she’s a minor goddess. Only several of the main gods live there (except Hades/Persephone when she’s not in the underworld half of the year). I love all the easter eggs for the SN vault in this video tooo, Timeless ⏳💖

I’m rewatching Taylor’s interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music right after Me! was released and there’s a painting behind her that is eerily reminiscent of the Wizard of Oz yellow brick road scene from the Karma music vid. Looks Cezanne-esque but for sure reminds me of the mv too. 🫣🤯

Hi! You've made some points that I've recognized myself but what I wrote was my perception about the experience I had at the concert. I didn't claim that the concert was terrible and I didn't state my opinion as fact. It is entirely possible to be a fan of an artist and still feel disappointment about a performance. It is also okay to express that disappointment.
Emzies
2023-06-08 17:30:04 +0000 UTC
She's performing a 3-and-a-half-hour show every weekend, way longer than most artists. It's very unrealistic to expect guests or announcements all the time. Those are extra things she doesn't have to do. In addition, the show is incredible if you're coming just for the secret songs and getting disappointed when you have an entire amazing setlist that's on you. Also, she's happy, why do you assume she's unhappy when she's expressed how happy she is multiple times. Just because she gets emotional with some songs doesn't mean she's unhappy.

GUYS GUYS GUYS is no one picking up on this:
1) there’s “Karma” written to the left of the scene where she’s the goddess of justice
2) between the 1989 and Rep eras was supposed to be KARMA, and the coffee cup time could be giving us the date for the lost album since it was between the blue and black nails…?!?!
Geneva
2023-06-06 12:13:06 +0000 UTC
Your feelings about this night accurately express the disappointment I've been feeling about every show ever since mine in Tampa (N1): secret songs were fine but not exciting, lots of mishaps, no surprises, no announcements, no special guests, and no happy Taylor. It really felt like she was just going through the motions that night, so every performance since then has been like a dagger to my heart.

OK last comment sorry but the nerdy History and Classics (aka mythology lover) uni major in me just has to say the goddess holding the scales actually could for sure be Themis, or Nemesis (the Greek Goddess of restoring cosmic order and divine justice... she's basically the og goddess of "karma" conceptually haha), and mount Olympus is more of a true mountain, so I think the Taylor in the hill is more like "Gaia" mother earth Titan/Goddess (or it reminds me of disney's fantasia lol). LOVE hearing your guys' thoughts, and since I'm late maybe you guys have already seen these theories but just had to give my two cents (also highkey proud of Emily's little mythology memories and you guys looking things up hehe) <3

I love the moment where Taylor and Ice Spice are lassoing the moon and Saturn as goddesses on what could mount Olympus or Aztec reference? I get the Seven reference, but thinking more
astrologically the moon represents our inner emotions, how present in private and how we “mother” ourselves. Is mother mothering?? Also astrological Saturn is the ruler of karma. How we heal ourselves and overcome challenges to restore our karma.
I feel like Taylor is perhaps showing us how much she has worked on her inner self to create the healthy relationship she has with karma. And that work hasn’t been done alone, shes perhaps honoring the strong women who have been by her side.

's been a few days but I actually think the man at the piano is Jack, especially with the 1989 and reputation nails and those being the other 2 albums that Jack has worked on. Also, when she's walking towards the piano the verse that is sung is "karma is my bestie" IDK in my opinion it's Jack and they're working on 1989 and Rep

I couldn't get tickets on Ticketmaster either. I was super disappointed. I wanted to go so badly that I took a chance going on Stubhub and trying there. It was around two weeks before the show I wanted to go to.
I did get tickets for Tampa, Florida night one on Stubhub and was so happy they were legit. I was worried about that because I had never used Stubhub before. Apparently they have a guarantee of money back if the seller doesn't come through with the tickets. I have heard stories of that happening too, which is a real concern. Or people showing up to the venue and their tickets not working.
I paid more than I wanted to for lower bowl, but there were different prices based on location of the seats. It may be an option for you to try if nothing else. It's so frustrating with the whole Ticketmaster thing and sellers bumping up the prices to ridiculous amounts on other sites. I saw the Reputation tour with floor seats fairly close to the stage cheaper than what I paid for lower bowl for the Eras tour.

The part of the music video where the clouds transform into the coffee reminds me of the Carly Simon song You’re So Vain and the lyric “I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee”. Taylor and Carly sang that song on red tour and Taylor has said it’s one of her favourite lyrics. Leading up to the lyric of clouds in my coffee Carly mentions that she meet someone several years ago and how they said they made a pretty pair but that person still choose to leave and they gave away the things they loved one of them being her and it’s frightfully similar to You’re Losing Me. I also think it’s a little funny how Carly sings “you’re so vain you probably think this song is about you” and Taylor says “karma is my boyfriend” !! 😵💫
Jordan
2023-05-29 11:16:30 +0000 UTC
There’s soooo many 1989 Easter eggs in the karma music video!
The Roman numerals at the start are 1989, the blue nails, and the coffee with the clock signifies the “coffee at midnight” lyric in You Are In Love.
Also people are speculating that it’s Matty on the piano at the end? The lyric playing over the shot is “karma is my boyfriend”
I’m overwhelmed

I definitely think the man playing the piano at the end is supposed to be Joe. Idk if you guys watched it, but on one of the shows, Taylor performed 'Tolerate it' and the setup was so eerily similar. She starts off by setting a dining table for two and breaks into singing with immense frustration. It's so similar to what she does in the video, making the coffee for him and handing him the cup while he plays nonchalantly. And then there is the part in the longpond studio sessions where she said Joe plays piano beautifully.

I thought the same thing! And with what they said at the end about the clock maybe representing Karma the album, maybe her and Jack at the piano means they've been working on it and the clock stuck midnight and it's finished 😳

The Penguin
2023-05-28 22:24:28 +0000 UTC
The first golden look in the Karma video is actually a reference to the Justitia, an ancient statue of a woman that represents courts and the virtue of justice. The statue is sometimes blindfolded because Justitia (the supposed judge) is meant to judge people based on their actions, and not how they look like or who they are. It's an incredible symbol, especially since Tayvoodoo has proved that the LAW OF NATURE and LAW OF EXISTENCE is always on Taylor's side.

I feel this. And I must admit that I absolutely feel rage at how many people got multiple tkts while others got none. I was with a group online trying - none of us scored tkts. And now … way way too much especially when I hear nightmare stories of getting scammed or screwed. My husband has offered to put our canoe in the river outside Pittsburgh’s 3 Rivers stadium and be my captain while I listen outside. So sweet. That’s as close as I am going to get, I’m afraid.

Her finger nails holding the coffee were positioned at 8 and 2. 8/2 is the day before the start of the last tour shows in LA…I feel like something will be announced or released on that date!

A quick note on the scales: the scales could be in reference to Justice or Libra depending. But the weighing of hearts you guys were talking about is an Egyptian myth thing. Anubis weighs hearts on scales to determine if you'll be reincarnated (I hope I remembered that last part correctly). And that could be a Hades reference but Hades doesnt have any association with Rams as far as I know so its most likely a reference to Aries the zodiac sign.

I also saw somewhere about the hourglass being about the "two karmas", music and album.
In the statue visual, the grafitti that appears is the one below in The Man MV.
So the hourglass represents the two karmas, the one below is the one that she is like "enjoying" now, (the music), and the above is like masterminding, providing the sand (the album and all the theories).
I don't know where I stand about the karma album. Sometimes, I think there is no way that is not true, but sometimes I think it is too stretch. But now, every time I see the hourglass, I think about this comment.

First I need to say that if I could teleport Bonny and Emily to the secret sing part of the eras tour every night I would. Also the first thing I thought of with the music video was libra (the scales) and Aries (the ram) which I believe Matty is Aries but I like the goddess more. When she was a mountain I thought of Moana and their depiction of Te fiti… and finally the Dorothy reference reminded me of when Harry styles dressed up as Dorothy during his Harryween show, which is terrifying if she’s hinting at something with Harry, but now, I also thought of Dorothea which idk what that could mean, maybe something with Selena Gomez

2023-05-28 17:20:36 +0000 UTC
i think it’s just referencing “there’s no place like home” as in her debut album being the last release! bc the first scene is 1989 with the roman numerals and the next scene is major rep vibes and then debut last
Taylor Marie
2023-05-28 17:20:34 +0000 UTC

this is such a beautiful crafted theory and explanation. and here i was thinking it just means 1989, then rep, then debut lol

2023-05-28 17:17:11 +0000 UTC
but in the very first scene the roman numerals on the bottom of the statue say 1989 so that would be next, like we’ve been waiting for. sadly i think the man wall theory may need to be put to rest
Taylor Marie

Oh my gosh!! So I noticed on the coffee cup clock that the Roman numeral for 4 was wrong. Typically the number should be IV for 4, but when I googled it, for clocks I guess it was different. Here was the Google explanation:
When Roman numerals were in use by the Roman Empire, the name of the Romans' supreme deity, Jupiter, was spelled as IVPPITER in Latin. There was a feeling that using the start of Jupiter's name on a clock dial, and it being upside down where it fell, would be disrespectful to the deity, so IIII was introduced instead.
What a mastermind!!!!!

Keep in mind Ice Spice ends with “Karma is my bestie” during the piano scene. If it is Matty There is still no confirmation that they are in a relationship. Friends hold hands too.

2023-05-28 16:26:17 +0000 UTC
Each scene leads us through her re-recording time line from the man wall. If that is true Reputation, then debut (Dorothy scene), 1989. Her nails reading right to left, 8/2 black nail…. I don’t so much you could say about this video.
Layla4124
2023-05-28 16:23:39 +0000 UTC
I thought the yellow brick road/Dorothy bit could be a Barbie movie Easter egg? There’s been a bunch of wizard of oz references in all the barbie trailers so I’m guessing she’s gonna have a song on the soundtrack.
As for the the coffee cup, it didn’t make me think karma between 1989 and rep, I thought her thumbs were really specifically placed in a weird looking way, so I think the 1989 nail is pointing at the 8 and the Rep one is pointing at 2. I’m guessing 1989 announcement in August and Rep announcement in February 🤔

We will be unpacking this video for years. This comment is about Themis the goddess of Devine Justice. What is Devine Justine? Karma. The yellow/gold is fearless era. Then it flips upside down to black/red obviously Reputation era. This could be hell, or Hades. My theory is it is the Goddess Nemesis. In Greek Mythology, Themis hands down gods will, karma. The opposite of Themis is Nemesis, who also is a Goddess of justice. But also the Goddess of revenge, Devine retribution. These two work together to deliver justice. How the Fearless/Themis scene turns upside down makes me think it’s the opposite, which would be the Goddess Nemesis. Depending on lore, Nemesis often wears headgear and can be in the shape of ram. Still can’t rule out the devil in hades. But I like to think of the Reputation character not as the devil in Hades, but someone who wants to deliver Justice by wrath and revenge. That is Nemesis. These two goddesses were so interwoven that their Greek statues were housed together as the two sides of devine Justice.

I’ll be in Santa Clara the night before Bonnie and Emily and I’ve been mourning all of the songs I won’t get to hear. Night 1 in Jersey crushed because two huge favorites slipped away. I actually became a fan in the Speak Now era but it’s not my favorite album. I’m mostly living for the release of Rep. And then of course I remind myself that somehow I managed to buy tickets during the Ticketmaster fiasco and should be counting my blessings.

I looooove that she is Dorothy and the grim reapers give her the finger and she waves back cheerily. Nothing is going to bring her down, no one’s going to interfere with her mood. She’s going to decide how she feels. And she doesn’t have to sweat anything because she has the upper hand. She’s just skipping (love it when she skips BTW) on down the road. Such a great MV. Also loved your interpretations - thank you so much for getting to this so quickly.

I think the clock striking midnight in the coffee is also signifying the end of the Midnights era as in no more vault songs or music videos and that we are now in Speak Now era. But who knows! Taylor seems to like mixing the eras these days!
Jenna Aguirre
2023-05-28 15:03:43 +0000 UTC
also, i feel like she went through almost all of her eras in this video however i am probably just delusional. the butterflies on the record at the beginning were giving the debut cover art. the reputation devil scene, the various gold scenes are giving fearless colors, the speak now hourglass, the 1989 blue dress when she's on olivia, the mountains/sky scene are giving folklore, the pink sky on the water looks like the sky from lover, the coffee midnight scene obviously midnights. not sure about red though so im just silly

2023-05-28 14:49:42 +0000 UTC
I was thinking the blue thumb nail at 8 so announcement in August maybe 7 with the reference to moon and Saturn and then we saw the zodiac libra and Aries so maybe 1989 out in October and Rep announcement on Feb for the black nail at 2 and it’s released in Aries time which is March/April?
I also think she’s gonna give treats at shows in places close to her heart and her career Nashville got Speak Now and NY got all of that I think California show might get the 1989 announcement and if she does Euro dates definitely treats in England.

Nina Conte
2023-05-28 14:14:53 +0000 UTC
The next annular eclipse is on the 14th of Oct 23 so maybe it’s an Easter egg to her releasing something that day or maybe on the 13th in time for the eclipse (a new dawn/era?)

Since Speak Now is July 2023, I would guess Rep would come out Feb 2024 and 1989 would be Aug 2024? That gives each album a good amount of space to have a proper "era"

She also looked very similar to the goddess in Moana and they are in process of making the live action. It could be an Easter egg that she could be in the movie. And also so sorry for all this. I had a lot to fathom
devin dear
2023-05-28 13:29:36 +0000 UTC
(Third) the Roman numerals mean 1989. The new music video I think gives us the order. Which we kinda figured anyway. Starts in 1989/ transitions to reputation/ then sweet innocent dorthy for debut.
devin dear
2023-05-28 13:28:19 +0000 UTC
(Second) The new Barbie movie supposedly has a bunch of Wizard of Oz references. I’m wondering if she is somehow gonna use Barbie to help release 1989. The movie still has two tracks that haven’t been announced and you can’t possibly do a Barbie movie without Taylor.

Amanda Ruth
2023-05-28 13:25:47 +0000 UTC
(First prediction)So the nails at the end are making me think since the blue is on 8. I think we will get 1989 announcement. And I think we will get Reputation in Feb. since it was on the 2.
devin dear
2023-05-28 13:25:18 +0000 UTC
Also something that just came to mind about the Dorothy thing. She helps the Tin Man find a heart (Speak Now when she had her heart broken), the Scarecrow find a brain (1989 when she became more strategic about her music and started speaking out more on her beliefs) and the Lion find his courage (Reputation when she had to come back when she thought nobody wanted her to be there)... once she's found all these, she can go back home (Debut, back to her roots)

There's 12 numbers on a clock, 12 months in a year, the 1989 nail is next to 8 (August), the Reputation nail is next to 2 (February)... is she hinting at future announcements? 👀

I interpret the man at the piano as Jack Antonoff in two ways - she's going through all of these visuals of Karma, and it all leads back to the music. I see it as either a reference to the re-recordings they're working on together, or with the latte clock striking midnight, it's closing out the Midnights era and they're making new music.

all of the references to all of the albums that are not hers yet, she might be saying she is releasing them all at once and yet the lost karma album reference which means that album is coming, what if TS11 is the Karma Album, what if she changed the sound of the karma album to update it.
Jen Manchulenko
2023-05-28 13:07:26 +0000 UTC
They are lassoing the Moon and Saturn after she says Karma brings all my friends to the summit. In Seven she describes her love of her friends from Moon to Saturn. I think that is the reference.

The music video you are thinking of with the hourglass might be Bejeweled, when she and Dita van Teese are doing the martini glass dance. That's what the Taylor in the top part of the hourglass reminded me of.
Also the light bulb scene reminded me of her holding up the two motorcycles in the LWYMD video; not visually, but in the sense that she is providing the power.

Ok I just had a shower thought
You know the little strips of orange and pink lens flare in the scene where she is the mountain? Such a tiny detail that it may be nothing, but they would have had to choose to edit it like that with that lens flare and those colours.
They're the same colours and side-by-side nature as her outfit she wore to the Grammys where she won Album of the Year for 1989!!

The nails point to a number on the coffee mug, blue was at eight(august) and black was at 2( February) so maybe that’s when the announcement will come

There were 5 lightbulbs and 5 seagulls in the sky when they were in the boat, so maybe 1989 is next

ALSO! a funny thing I’m not sure if Taylor really meant it but i saw people count the fence on the left from the clean street scene, and there were five holes in the fence hahaha
jennie
2023-05-28 09:56:57 +0000 UTC
and the scene with ' mother nature ' also looks like " Windermere peaks " from the lakes

the hour glass people say is from the website where it says " august slipped away " and it had a purple hour glass just like this one.
jennie
2023-05-28 09:49:34 +0000 UTC
and the roman numerals mean 1989 ! she is gonna make us start clowning for 1989 now isnt she
jennie
2023-05-28 09:45:52 +0000 UTC
the coffee i think is a lyric from 'you're in love '! " coffee at midnight " which is another 1989 reference !

I think in the Karma music video, the underworld scene was that she was unknowingly partying with people who turned out to be evil/devils. Scott and her old record label. She takes her mask off and waves (during the "people you burned just to get there" line) when she realizes it. As if saying I'm the one you burned to get there.
She leaves and is happy without them, but the three grim reapers (Scott, Scooter, Kanye?) are watching, waiting to take her down. She happily blows them a lavender kiss.
Also, I think the guy at the piano at the end with dark hair is Matty. He is a musician too and it looks like an intimate home setting with coffee, more than a recording studio where she would be with Jack.

Your adrenals must be shot doing this much reacting this weekend! Thank you for doing the MOST for us! Also, I need you to know that the hair on my arms stood on end when you were making parallells between Dorothy and Taylor collecting albums so she can go home. You both are insanely smart!

Oh my god yes the babydoll mini blue dress is a reference to Harry's Dorothy costume wow. I was reminded of Ariana Grande's babydoll mini dresses, Harry as Dorothy makes so much more sense

As a fan of both Taylor and Harry I just cannot help but see so many parallels. The Dorothy scene combined with the keeping the street „clean“ and Harry dressing up as Dorothy for Harryween and Clean on 1989… It totally can be random and not directly linked but i’m in my happy little bubble finding those parallels and enjoy it way too much. Not ready for 1989TV! 🥹

Ok scratch the Wizard of Oz thing about debut (although it seems clear that it will be the last re-recording) because someone just pointed out “the world was in black and white but we were in screaming color” which is ssooooo Wizard of Oz coded because the film literally starts in b&w and shifts to color

Taylor looks SO fucking good in the music video!
Nele
2023-05-28 08:43:15 +0000 UTC
Some other easter eggs I think are there:
- The butterflies at the beginning are from debut.
- Dorothy looks like 1989 a bit looking at Reputation towards the right side.
- The hourglass is from the Nothing New lyric vide.

Taylor said, before she performed Maroon, that she wishes she could do this tour forever. So do we! She has so many songs, she really could do an Eras 2 Tour: The Alternate Songs. Her all new set list could be all the songs from the eras that she didn't perform on this tour. The Lover Era could be-Me!, London Boy, Daylight, Cornelia Street, etc. The Fearless Era could be-White Horse, Forever & Always, Hey Stephen, etc. One can dream...
Lin Gill
2023-05-28 08:21:41 +0000 UTC
I think the guy at the piano in the MV is definitely Jack, helping her with her re-recordings.

Aloha Record Sargent
2023-05-28 08:08:48 +0000 UTC
Wait I just saw something offensive…
the golden goddess scene could also be a reference to the Libra zodiac sign
“this is possibly an easter egg for 1989 tv being announced or release in Libra season this year!! (sep 23 - Oct 23)”
kienan
2023-05-28 08:02:38 +0000 UTC
Towards the end when the clouds transition into the cappuccino foam, I thought of the Carly Simon lyrics, “clouds in my coffee” which I believe Taylor has referenced as being her favorite lyrics from “You’re So Vain” and may have influenced Taylor’s writing of the lyrics that you sang, Bonny, (“fades into the gray of my day old tea”)🤔
Sha

I’ve never saw Emily look so disappointed 😢 😂
Courtney
2023-05-28 07:58:42 +0000 UTC
Also, y'all talked about the eclipse in the music video. Could that just have been another Folklore reference? Because in Hoax, she says "My eclipsed sun"
Aloha Record Sargent
2023-05-28 07:54:45 +0000 UTC
Did anyone think the lightbulbs could have represented the bright idea to do the re-recordings? And when she looked to the side within the lightbulb, could that have been a reference to the Fearless album cover? (the first album she re-recorded?)
Aloha Record Sargent
2023-05-28 07:53:32 +0000 UTC
Adding to your interpretation of the imagery, the boat scene reminds me quite a lot of Charon, a boatman in greek mythology who ferries the souls of the dead across the waters of Hades to the judgement which will determine their final resting place.
Lelia Wagner
2023-05-28 07:52:16 +0000 UTC

I think her black thumb being at the 2 means Rep will come in February and the blue at 8 means 1989 will come in August.

It is 100% a Moana reference. There is no way it can't be! And if you look into Te Fiti, it makes sense.
Aloha Record Sargent
2023-05-28 07:37:41 +0000 UTC
I think maybe the scene switching from the greek one to the rep one and like the wizard of oz one could potentially be the order of the rerecordings being released
Annika
2023-05-28 07:33:13 +0000 UTC
What a night! I was losing it too! 😭 Also, when you made the connection to Dorothy not being able to go home to 'my tears ricochet,' I hadn't thought of that in that way, except that in the Wizard of Oz was on her way to the Emerald city-- a stolen jewels reference. Also 'green' = Debut.

Silke Huybrechts
2023-05-28 07:31:00 +0000 UTC
The part when she’s Mother Nature is her being the goddess Gaia I think! And it looks exactly like the Gaia depiction in Moana!! Immediately where my mind went to cuz in the movie if I remember correctly Gaia wakes up when she’s angry but then goes back to her peaceful slumber when everything is right in the world.

The guy at the end of the video at the piano is clearly Jack. The scene alludes to coming back to reality from the daydream she was having about "Karma" and being at Electric Lady Studios working on Midnights with Jack!
Kyra Amador
2023-05-28 07:24:00 +0000 UTC
I’m terms of Easter eggs… I saw this circulating on Twitter and I guess it’s plausible…
“In the first three scenes of the Karma music video, Taylor tells us the order of her remaining rerecordings.
1. The statue with the roman numerals for 1989 at the bottom
2. The “darker” side of Taylor and reputation look
3. Wizard of Oz + “There’s no place like home” for debut”
It’s also highly concerning that there seems to be the word KARMA written in the same graffiti style as The Man music video in the opening shot with her as the statue. (Second column from the left)
ALSO… I saw someone say that the blue nail (1989) was at 8 and the black nail (rep) was at 2 so maybe it means 1989 tv in august and rep tv in February. It’s a stretch for sure lol but there just SIMPLY must be meaning in that shot…
kienan
2023-05-28 07:23:10 +0000 UTC
The Karma video is so amazing, I love it so much! I think my favorite reference is the Moana movie one (when she is the earth). It's probably not that she wanted to refer to the Disney movie but the imagery is the same. So beautiful.

Seven (childhood) + Invisible String (strings that lead us to people/places that are meant for us) = Destiny (Taylor’s career) ..This is how i view the connection between those two songs in that picture of her and Ice. The Invisible String is leading Taylor back to her music/re-recordings because that was always her destiny 👀
Jessica
2023-05-28 07:21:59 +0000 UTC
oKAY I haven't watched your reaction to the music vid yet but just wanted to preemptively air my analysis:
Bright blue swirls and butterflies with the record turning on- 1989 colour theme + the butterflies turned to dust that covered my whole room. Also in the background
Taylor dressed as the statue of scales, an ancient symbol of justice, with 1989 in roman numerals on the base of the sculpture, and Karma written in graffiti font on a column in the back the left
Reputation-evoking imagery with the red devil masks
Dorothy and the yellow-brick road + 3 grim reapers/hooded evil people with middle fingers up (not sure what all this means but surely 3 is a Speak Now ref? Also Taylor's babydoll minidress reminds me of one of Ariana Grande's signature dress styles)
Hourglass: Taylor under the shower reminds me of a music video but I can't think which. And her hand movement while sitting in the top of the hourglass, as well as all the cloud visuals (and come to think of it her lying in the purple water in Lavender Haze) remind me of Ariana in God is a Woman, and I vaguely remember hearing a theory that Ariana might have collabed with Taylor? I wonder if she's teasing an Ariana Grande feature on 1989 TV????? I might be clutching at straws but that's what the visuals evoke for me.
Blank Space visuals recreated with her in 50s glam on the cat.
Ice Spice posing as Aphrodite in the oyster, the Greek Goddess of sex, beauty, love and fertility.
Taylor and Ice Spice walking up the tower above the clouds- dressed in bodysuits reminiscent of Taylor's Out of the Woods jewelled performance bodysuit
Single threads of gold and silver tying her and her friend to the moon and to Saturn
FIVE LIGHTBULBS. Also Taylor has recently worn gold outfits with long hair out to award shows where she won awards for All Too Well 10 and the All Too Well Short Film. It makes me think of how she lost awards for Red originally then immediately came up with the idea of 1989 (lightbulb moment in the middle of the night!)
Her as the mountains reminds me of the cinematic views we get in OotW MV of both snowy mountains and forest, and how gets tangled/absorbed in trees etc.
- (ok edited bc a comment ^^ said she was depicting herself as Te Fiti from Moana which I had to look up but it makes sense, another image of a goddess and she spread life and compassion and goodness, but if her heart is stolen she turns into a vengeful and dark goddess of chaos, LIKE KARMA)
Her steering the ferry reminds me of the person in greek mythology whose job it was to ferry people to Hades (hell)- a bit like how she's painting Karma and fate, carrying people toward their earned destination of good or bad fortune
BLUE AND BLACK NAILS holding the coffee (overt 1989 and Rep TV easter eggs omggg) but also the coffee reminds me of Begin Again and Holy Ground (while having coffee all alone and lord it took me away), but also Starbucks lovers lmao. But she's carrying it to the piano with a guy there at the piano with her, and it seems to give Folklore cabin and Joe/Taylor songwriting vibes?? What does it mean??
Ok this concludes my breakdown, I don't know what lots of it means but these are my musings- lots of 1989 and a few Rep easter eggs, Greek mythology imagery, and things that even slightly remind me of Ariana Grande.
Zosia Dabrowski
2023-05-28 07:21:22 +0000 UTC
I totally agree with Emily about how in MTR Taylor mourns the loss of her albums and not being able to go home, but w. Karma = times up and, like in the Wizard of Oz, Taylor’s making her way back home via the re-recordings 😄
Jessica
2023-05-28 07:17:14 +0000 UTC
I wonder if the coffee is another potential Easter egg for 1989, like the coffee is being served at midnight, a cheeky little You are in love reference?
Ramell

I get confused about the time difference, lol… anyway, I won’t spoil it for you girls 😂 (unless requested, ha!)… BUT I do have a song prediction for night 3… It’s Christian Owens’s first night opening the tour, so I think she may sing King of My Heart in honor of him, her actual REP tour King! 👑
