"The Alchemy" = Karlie's POV of how she's going to take Taylor from Travis?

"I haven't come around in so long

But I'm making a comeback to where I belong"

Karlie showing up at the Eras Tour! Taylor didn't spend long enough with either of the beards for "so long" to make any sense as being about them. How do you make a comeback when you're barely a thing to begin with? Karlie's comeback was headline news though.

"So when I touch down

Call the amateurs and cut 'em from the team

Ditch the clowns, get the crown"

Her football fan baby ("fly like a jet stream") is touching down and coming to sweep away the understudies, users, narcissists and clowns. King of my Heart coming to reclaim her crown! We can only hope 🙏

"Cause the sign on your heart says it's still reserved for me"

Taylor can rewrite history all she wants, but Tratty was never a thing and no-one with a brain can buy the idea that he was the love of her life ten years ago, while Kissgate was happening right in front of him. Peak Kaylor era. When we all saw with our own eyes how she looked at Karlie! But, no, it was Matty all along! Sure, Jan.

Meanwhile, even the "anyone but Karlie" Gaylors who hate her can't deny Taylor has been writing songs about Karlie for a decade now. Even they think she's not over her. So who "still" has Taylor's heart and could make a comeback? Mmhmm.

"I circled you on a map"

Flashback to Taylor highlighting Kaylor-related towns on the weather map in the Lavender Haze music video. Uh-huh.

"Who are we to fight the alchemy?"

Alchemy is the process of turning things into gold. Are we really going to sit here and pretend this isn't Ms Gold Rush, Ms "it's like your eyes are liquor, it's like your body is gold"? Are we really going to pretend Karlie hasn't been gold coded since the beginning? But no! This is about Travis! Totally! Does your blindfold fit snugly enough, babe, or do you want me to tighten it some more for you? 🙄

"Hey, what if I told you we're cool

That child's play back in school

Is forgiven under my rule?"

The child's play is the bearding. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. It's getting so old to never grow up. Karlie is saying it all means nothing.

"These blokes warm the benches

We've been on a winning streak"

Her British beards have just been keeping Karlie's seat warm. While she and Taylor have privately been on a winning streak.

(Seriously, the construction of this song makes no sense if you believe it's about Travis. How could she have been "on a winning streak" with him, while "these blokes" were present-tense warming the benches? Or are we supposed to believe they're just waiting on the sidelines for Taylor to get back with one of them? Even though things are so great with 🚜 and she's said multiple times she doesn't want that? So . . . how is any of this working, exactly? What benches are they warming? Are we SURE the "we" is Travis? Hmm?)

"He jokes it's heroin but this time with an e"

People are so distracted by this "dig at Matty" they can't see what's right in front of their faces. Heroin with an e = heroine. As in, the female hero of a story. The joke is that the one to "save" Taylor won't be any of these jokers dressing up as kings. It's a woman. A HEROINE. Not a hero.

And then we get a football metaphor everyone will assume is about Travis, even though Karlie's love of football is well-documented. Do we really think Travis cares more about the beard he's made his meal ticket than he does about winning a trophy? Yeah, right. The days of wasted celebration with no Taylor in sight really give that impression. The thirst traps he was liking on Instagram while "dating" Taylor really show he only has eyes for her. Totally.

Meanwhile we have a million songs where Taylor tells us all her obviously-Karlie lover ever wanted was her.

I can't see The Alchemy any other way than as a Karlie comeback song. Bring it home, Karlie! We're all rooting for you! Go! Fight! Win! 🏆

Wow, Anon! I love this take! Lots of food for thought.

This kills me every time. Now we both have broken hearts Taylor.

#🤔🤔🤔 #interesting

the nurse though… hear me out 😂

[heda-heather]

Perfection!!!! The Fortnight music video is gorgeous!

[heda-heather]

I am so mentally & physically unwell 😭

Oh, hey. Remember when Karlie posted this photo for seemingly no reason back in January?

With these emojis placed just so?

I truly truly wish her fans would look deeper into her art rather than just pointing at different men and saying it's about him. I've pretty much spent this entire album cycle so far attaching no muses to anything. I think this album is about her more than anything

Her mental state, her fans, her fame, her life.

It's about her.

#it’s honestly so annoying

[heda-heather]

amazing

I'm starting to wonder whether the Ratty PR was put in place so Taylor had a cover for her "sinful love." That said, I love how her perspective on her love has changed. It now seems more like "Screw you all, this is my person," rather than the quiet love and the sometimes frightened guilt she felt on her previous albums.

There's been growth, imo. This album is making my head explode. Lmao

Ohhh that’s a good theory about the sinful love!

And yes… She went from scared and keeping secrets to guilt for having to keep those secrets.

Now she seems to be in that transition phase of being angry, at others and herself for losing years to these games (even if she also knows it has protected her family) to moving forward with that “fuck it!” fight for freedom.

[heda-heather]

Imgonnagetyouback is the growing seed of the Kaylor reunion narrative we’ve been guessing how she’s going to “reintroduce” KK back in her life to the general public.

It’s the “we were in love in our 20’s, we moved on, but she’s the love of my life and we’ll be together again.”

I’m of course still of the belief they’ve been together this whole time (perhaps a few bumps along the way as any long term relationship can have, much more with their dazzling, crazy lives).

They know the general public could possibly, more easily accept/digest an underdog, comeback story than oh, we’ve duped you all these years.

I’m here for all this chaotic double album! So much to still unpack. 👏

[heda-heather]

I seriously can’t get over it

I can't stop listening to "Robin." I can't believe how f***ing loud this is. SHE SHARED THIS. She tucked it near the end of her surprise double album. Like...wtf. I can't believe this. 🌼☀️

[heda-heather]

Oh for the love of Post Malone, Taylor!

“I was a debutante in another life, but now I seem to be scared to go outside.” (I Hate It Here)

A debutante? As in, a debutante ball? As in, COMING OUT?!!!!?

[heda-heather]

I know most of the fandom and all my IRL friends will think I'm crazy, but this album and all the stuff surrounding it has pretty much fully confirmed Kaylor in my mind. The ✌s, poet shirts, twinning, an album that's full of gay anger and apologies and Robin and Fresh Out the Slammer and Peter and Cassandra and Down Bad etc. etc. They are together and they are fine and happy.

Protecting some sweetness with some big ass showmanship 🏈

"This is a Joe Alwyn album" "This is a Matty Healy album" shut up shut up SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!! Swifties are so annoying, this is a TAYLOR SWIFT ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY IS YOUR FIRST REACTION TO ASSIGN THINGS TO A MAN!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!!!!

[heda-heather]

Swifties aren’t gonna get this album unless they’ve been through some kind of true deep trauma which leads to mental health issues AND they are introspective enough about themselves to know they have been mentally fucked at points in their life

[heda-heather]

✨this is why they shouldn’t kill off the main guy✨
