Staying with Midnights, does anyone have a theory about what/who Kimber represents that would fit Father Figure?

I want to know what about Actually Romantic makes my brain want to jump into Pop Muzik

I wonder if in addition to the Dorothy ref, the red shoes is a reference to The Red Shoes (story, movie, etc). There is something very A Chorus Line about this era, which made me think of it.

The Fate of Ophelia MV definitely has callbacks to other music videos... Mean, WANGBT, LWYMMD... Plus the AMAs Blank Space performance
