Do you ever just stop and think about 1989 TV

Also this stuff makes me wonder how frustrated Taylor gets with them 😭 like she goes from “I can show you lies” in TTPD to “that was a lie” in TLOAS 😂

Please tell me they’re not only realizing this NOW??? We literally clocked it from day one 😭

TikTok of the eras tour “I can do it with a broken heart” performance with the caption “omg they’re literally undressing her from TTPD outfit and making her into a show girl”

So many connections to her other work 😭

And I’m wondering if we look at TTPD and pull out the Showgirl aspects (BDILH, SHS, etc.) what we’re left with is from the Real Taylor and those themes will be on TS13.

Hairpin Drops Podcast @hairpindropspodcast.com · 4h

And TTPD is in the middle because that’s where Showgirl Taylor and Real Taylor converge, in her art.

Hairpin Drops Podcast @hairpindropspodcast.com · 4h

Taylor Nation teased Showgirl with all those orange outfits, so the main color of Showgirl has been orange, right? And we just had TTPD, which was white, where we met Poet Taylor. Now we’ve met Showgirl Taylor. What if TS13 is the Real Taylor and the color concept is shades of pink?

“Did you girlboss too close to the sun?” is so funny especially in this like chant that feels like campy pirate music

I’ve not gotten over “mistake my kindness for weakness and find your card cancelled”

Yeah I wonder what Taylor would say if it wasn’t pre approved!

Hairpin Drops Podcast @hairpindropspodcast.com · 5h

Ha totally fair 😂

Hairpin Drops Podcast @hairpindropspodcast.com · 5h

I guess I see him as part of it! Like if you subscribe to the performanceartlor theories then he’s in on everything with Taylor, and Showgirl seems to be an album about the performance art

Also the fact that he actually did sign them 😭 like that alone is a wild move of his 😂

Imagine doing this and then saying “your part in all of this has been great, I can’t wait to see how the show ends” what do you think he’d say? Ugh now I want to do this while wearing a button camera

The vulnerability in this bathroom scene seems so important for us to understand.

we watch taylor transition from partying/emulating the tour & public life to the private, raw, escape to the bathroom. room 87 appears to be a party as you first enter, yet the deeper you venture the darker it appears

"Girls, I don't need to catch the bouquet, mm
To knowa hard rock is on the way" -Wood

"Thank you for the lovely bouquet
I'm married to the hustle" -TLOAS

y'all she flat out said it. she caught the wedding bouquet and it was for her job. Travis is the hustle she's marrying

Sorry for writing Tayvis fanfic even if it is in performanceartlor 🥴

Hairpin Drops Podcast @hairpindropspodcast.com · 5h

I also can see them at like a PR meeting or something and Taylor is signing these and they’re drinking wine and Travis asks to sign one just for the lols and then an actual lightbulb goes off over Taylor’s head and she snaps for her assistant to bring her a pen never breaking eye contact with Travis
