Masterpost: Taylor Swift & The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

Since I think the book The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo (TSHOEH) helps in understanding bearding, lavender marriages and PR stunts, I thought I’d combine all the parallels I have found to Taylor’s life. Before I start, I want to point out that I could not have done this without various anons and other tumblr users (listed at the end of this post). I’m sure there are still some parallels missing, but I will try and update this post whenever I come across something new. If you have any questions or want to add something, just message me or add in the comments of this post. Now… sit back, grab a glass of wine and enjoy this deep dive. [Obviously this contains spoilers.]

TayLiz: A Semi-Complete Timeline

Hey guys! I do love doing research and work behind the scenes for some other gaylor blogs you might know, such as @swiftiesleuth. 

While researching Taylor, I realized there was a big gap in the “gaylor timeline” as it were. People kind of just skip straight from Emily (🤮) to Dianna (✨), and write off any time in between that as the “Lost Years.” Well, I love a challenge, so I decided to dig into it.

As I did, people like @swiftgron-get-married and @mercuryonparklane helped along the way, and with their help, I was able to cobble together a glimpse into another time. A time back when Taylor was more open with her fans, writing lengthy posts about her life on MySpace. Back when she did her own hair and makeup with Liz and Caitlin. Things were simpler. And, because of that, I think TayLiz is a really good place to start when we’re looking at what has lead us to the place and circumstances Taylor is today. 

I also just wanted to say I fully believe Liz’s two big relationships with men (Jason and Bryan) were real. I don’t think she was bearding or covering or anything like that, especially in the case of Bryan. When it comes to Taylor, I’m a little less certain (we can never really know for sure with either of them), but I think approaching a timeline with an open mind is a good idea, so I’ve approached this as if any and all of Taylor’s public and speculated relationships could’ve possibly been real, including the men.

If you have any questions about the timeline, find anything else, or see any inconsistencies, feel free to drop by my askbox and let me know and I’ll go ahead and fix/add them!

So with that, let’s dive in! Early Introductions (December 2006 - February 2009)

Masterpost of TayLiz Lyric Parallels

[katlovesmalamutes]

Hello and Welcome aboard S.S. Tiz. This is your captain speaking. After sending many anon asks to the wonderful blog @swiftgron-get-married​ I decided to fully commit to my new obsession and make my own blog. I am a long time Taylor fan (we are talking 2006 myspace, kids) but a relatively recent gaylor. This is a baby blog, and I am still trying to figure out tumblr. But, I hope this can be a landing place for all things Taylor and Liz, and to be able to collaborate with blogs that are much more informed and clever than I am, to understand all that we can about the relationship that Taylor and Liz had. Yes, this ship may be out of date and long sunk, but that won’t keep us from over-analyzing Taylor’s old vlogs, sexual tension on tour, Liz’s music and of course what songs Taylor wrote about Liz!

TL;DR- this gif forced me to make a tumblr. 

[katlovesmalamutes]

Thanks about the Good About Her song. I didn’t know it. Do you know when it was recorded? I don’t know if you found it but I’m pretty sure there was a pic of Liz and Taylor together in a studio that surfaced around 2014-2016. I didn’t keep trace of it so I though I dreamt it but I’m sure it is somewhere on the internet. Guess I’ll stop bothering you and let you do your own research. Good luck.

Oh, no, you’re not bothering me. Don’t worry about that. 

I am not sure when “Good About Her” was recorded unfortunately. 

As for that photo, I think you mean this one:

If so, then yes I have seen it. I am not 100% sure it’s Taylor (because I worry I have gaylor blinders on), but I have done some research into it. I first found it on the Liz Huett Facebook page and it was posted there on July 15, 2015. I’m not sure if that is the original date the picture was taken, but that would have been right in-between Taylor’s Washington, D.C. dates (July 13/14) and Chicago dates (July 18/19) on the 1989 World Tour. And Taylor had a similar haircut around that time, but in the studio picture the hair looks a little shorter (that could because she is leaning her head forward a bit) and darker (maybe because of the lighting/filter). Here are a couple pictures from the Chicago shows:

I have heard a theory that Lover was recorded or partially recorded before reputation. Maybe they were recording something for Lover, hence, why seemingly nothing ever became of that recording session. At first, I thought the picture might have been taken at Electric Lady Studios in NYC (where part of Lover was recorded), but I did some research and now I’m pretty sure it wasn’t. This is all a total crack theory, though, because I can’t even 100% say that that is Taylor in the picture.

Anyway, feel free to send any asks you might have, it’s no bother at all!

Bowery Hotel

Photos for Taylor’s Vogue February 2012 cover (the one where she let them cut her bangs) were taken sometime before her 22nd birthday at the Bowery Hotel. Here is the behind the scenes video from the shoot:

Here is the description for the behind-the-scenes video, which notes that Taylor’s “band came out to support her”:

The band (including Liz) was also photographed with Taylor:

So, there is at least one Bowery connection to Liz, along with multiple other people Taylor has been linked to, but just pointing this out.

[katlovesmalamutes]

An attempt at objectivity on the topic of Tayliz/a summary…

Disclaimer: I do not know any of these people personally. This is all speculation/personal opinion and not to be taken too seriously. Honestly, I hope people know that I’m mainly just having fun with Tayliz and, after everything I’ve seen, I don’t think the evidence is necessarily much stronger than Taymily (and both of those ships are less supported than Swiftgron and Kaylor). 

I apologize in advance for the length of this post, but I was just trying to put it all in one place, mostly for myself.

Over the last month or so, I got a little too into the idea of a potential relationship between Tayliz and I’m still on the fence about it. Although there have been things that made me lean towards the “they definitely dated/were more than friends” side of the fence, I’m trying to stay as objective as I can. This post is my attempt at purely laying out their relationship (whatever the nature of that might be).

Preface:

I’ve been a fan of Taylor’s since 2006 and I’ve always felt most of her songs were queer coded (even though I didn’t know there was a term for that concept back then). I personally believe that Taylor is either bi/pan or a lesbian. I lean towards the latter based on a multitude of things that are too numerous to list and are essentially irrelevant to this post. The important part is that I think she falls somewhere on the rainbow spectrum. And I do believe that the Big 2 Gaylor ships (Dianna and Karlie) were real and I shipped the hell out of them when they were sailing. I also don’t believe that those are the only 2 women she’s dated.

As for Liz, I really have no idea. She has only ever acknowledged dating/been confirmed to have dated men, but the same could be said of Taylor. She also seems like a bit of a wildcard (not necessarily in a bad way, though) and might just be that one friend who flirts with everyone.

I don’t feel the need to extrapolate on the men either side of Tayliz may have been/may currently be with. Even if both of these woman have dated or are currently dating men for real, that has no bearing on either woman’s potential queerness nor does it mean that it’s impossible for them to have dated each other in the past.

Anyway, my main point is that my Tayliz posts are mostly just me finding something that might lend to the idea that these two incredibly talented, attractive women may have once been an item. 

My interest in exploring whether they were more than friends is more about me enjoying their past interactions and trying to fill in the Gaylor gap between Emily and Dianna because there are songs on Red that I don’t think are about either of those women (I don’t think any of them are about Emily).

Here are the potential explanations I have regarding the nature of their relationship:

Tayliz were co-workers who happened to be around the same age and had a lot in common, so they formed an extremely close friendship while traveling the world together and eventually had a falling out or grew apart.

Taylor had a huge crush on Liz, but it wasn’t reciprocated.

Tayliz were more than friends, but not in a serious relationship, and that ended when Taylor met Dianna.

Tayliz were a couple for at least 2 years, but probably longer, and were on and off at certain points until Taylor officially ended things to be with Dianna.

Here are some of the things that stand out to me in the timeline of their relationship:

1)  How they met:

The official story is that they met at a meet and greet, ran into each other a couple more times, and Liz eventually ended up auditioning to be her backup singer, but the details about exactly how that happened are confusing/conflicting (which makes me a little bit skeptical about it). For example, when discussing Liz’s part in the music video for “The Story of Us” with MTV News, this is what Taylor told them about how she met Liz:

“We met in a meet-and-greet line. I started out playing small bars and clubs a few years ago, and she came to one of the shows, and I would sign autographs … and she waited three or four hours,“ Swift recalled. “And she came up and asked if she could sing for me. She sang for me, and I said, ‘You’ve got to audition for some TV talent show.’ And I ran into her a few months later, and one thing led to another and she ended up being my backup singer on tour and making out with a guy in my video.”

That was definitely the CliffsNotes’ version of how they met, but also kind of confusing because it was years, not months, between when they would have met for the first time and when Liz was hired to be her backup singer. It could have been months between their 3rd meeting (was it only their 3rd time meeting, though? It was, at least as far as the public is aware, but they may have “met” more times than that) and when she auditioned.

Here are the three known instances in which they would have met before Liz was hired to be Taylor’s backup singer:

December 10, 2006 at Brandin’ Iron Nightclub in San Bernardino, CA (3 days before Taylor’s 17th birthday… when you came to the show in SD SB):

Liz waited in the meet and greet line after Taylor’s show:

“When I saw her perform, I knew she had something special,” Huett said about Swift during a recent telephone interview. “Despite feeling silly, I decided to wait in line and talk to her.”

According to this article, Liz asked Taylor for advice on becoming a country music singer. Taylor said that she needed to move to Nashville, if she really wanted to pursue that dream.

There appear to be no Tayliz pics on the internet from that night, but here are a couple pics of Taylor performing:

July 31st, 2007 Taylor performs at the Orange County Fair in Costa Mesa, CA (?):

Go Country 105, the radio station Liz was working for at some point during this time period, was a sponsor at the fair that weekend. According to her theswiftagency . com profile, Liz was the last fan in line at a “local festival” and she wanted Taylor to hear her sing. From that information, I believe this was the date and location of their second “official” meeting. Supposedly they spoke and Taylor gave her some pointers. I have also read somewhere that Liz sang for Taylor in her dressing room, so I don’t know if the singing happened at the Brandin’ Iron nightclub show or if it was actually at this festival or if that was just a made up part of the story.

Liz posted this picture that appears to be from that night on her myspace page with the caption: “me, Tim, and Taylor Swift the nicest girl in the world!”

They meet for a third time “officially” on February 4, 2008 at a taping of “Dance War: Bruno v. Carrie Ann”:

 Liz was a contestant on the show. Taylor was a musical guest and she performed “Our Song” that night.

According to Taylor’s myspace blog about that night, she apparently didn’t know that Liz was on the show until she arrived for her dress rehearsal:

“This love is different” vibes haha. “So I sneak out to the garden to see you”… “betty” tho. Relax, I am not actually trying to make “Love Story” a Tayliz song. 

I just want to know if they met and/or talked to each other on more than those 2 previous occasions before this taping. I don’t know, but Liz moved to Nashville on June 11, 2008, inspired, in part, by Taylor’s earlier advice.

Sidenote: based on what I believe are videos of the dances performed that night, Julianne H. was also at the taping, so…

2) Taylor wearing THAT cardigan (around the time Liz starts popping up) in the “I hope it’s gonna make you notice” vlog of her promo trip to the UK from February 18-20,2009:

Liz had performed with Taylor and the band at the San Antonio Rodeo on February 13th, 2009 (which I think was Liz’s first ever show as Taylor’s backup singer), but it looks like she wasn’t brought along for the UK trip. Although, to be fair, the vlog was posted on March 5, after they had already performed together again at the Florida Strawberry Festival on March 1.

On February 19, 2009 Taylor’s myspace blog, “On the cover of the Rolling Stone.”, she mentions that George Strait and his wife surprised her in her dressing room (there is no mention of Liz in the blogs until the “Excitement and the Agency.” blog on April 12, in which she introduces Liz and describes her as “precious” and “amazing”):

Here’s a pic of Taylor and Liz with George Strait that appears, based on Liz’s outfit, to be from the SA Rodeo show:

So, maybe Taylor had missed Liz on that UK trip and posted that vlog hoping that Liz would watch it and notice that she was wearing the cardigan.

3) The amount of time they seemingly spent together

There is way too much to extrapolate on here, but, in all fairness, they were two young women “taking on the world together” and they seemed to form a close bond.

Here are a couple cute examples:

May 29, 2009 Taylor’s myspace blog “Hi. I’m nocturnal. Help.”

So, Liz and Taylor went out, just the two of them apparently, for dinner together around Liz’s birthday (May 27) … hmmm…

February 22, 2010 Taylor’s myspace “Just got back from some cool places… (photo blog)”

“And we have FUN!“

4) The amount of Liz footage in the vlogs 

She’s even in the vlog with the cardigan at the end, even though she wasn’t on that trip. Taylor just threw in a clip from Caitlin’s birthday from after they got back to the States, which shows Liz standing next to Mama Swift during the celebration. Taylor seemed to really enjoy spending time with her… but you know, Taylor has a pattern of intense “friendships” with other women.

There are a lot of examples, but can we talk about the “Demonstrating my fine athletic skills. And more.” vlog from April 26, 2010, though:

FIRST, in Taylor’s description for the vlog she lists the song playing in the background as:

Song: She Band: Parachute

Girl, stop it… we all know the full title of that song is “She (For Liz)”

Taylor dedicates part of that vlog to Liz and her habit of sleeping all the time, including a cute moment with Liz and Mama Swift.

5) The sharing of a hotel room (it seems pretty gay, but maybe it was all just a little summer campy)

So, Liz and Taylor were sharing a hotel room in London… interesting. And Liz left early so…

May 8, 2009- Taylor posts her vlog “Whisper Hello, I miss you quite terribly.”

There is quite a bit of Liz content, specifically there is a part where Taylor shows Liz sleeping on a “tiny little couch” right after this line in the song: “I like where you sleep, when you sleep next to me”.

In the same vlog Taylor wears THIS shirt and a heart necklace with a keyhole:

In the “I Knew You Were Trouble” music video Taylor wears this shirt and a key necklace:

6) The fact that Taylor planned a girls’ trip just because Liz was going through a rough time

Select photos from Taylor’s myspace “The Charleston Photo Blog” posted on August 22, 2011:

7) The speculation that Liz was fired and didn’t just leave to pursue her own career… Emily 2.0? 

According to a fan on reddit, who claimed to have met Liz one time, they asked her what happened with Taylor and the other people in the room basically said not to ask that. Supposedly, Liz said she was fired for “getting out of control”. Take that with a grain of salt, though, in part because it was some random on reddit, but also because this person seemed to not like her very much.

8) The following candids:

(these were all found on Zimbio, except the ones from the jj article btw)

November 18, 2009 Taylor and Liz return to their London hotel at midnight

November 21, 2009 lunch and shopping with Mama Swift and Caitlin, Notting Hill and Portobello Market

Fun fact: Taylor sang “Umbrella” at that O.C. Fair show on July 31, 2007

Liz was Mama Swift approved:

December 29, 2010 out and about in Nashville… Just gals being pals, according to justjared…

March 21, 2011 Tayliz and the rest of the band had dinner at Benihana in London

AND NOW SOME BONUS CONTENT

Liz making sure we know she has freckles:

I’m just putting this here because it was sweet:

 And for some tinfoil hatter-y/W. Bowery speculation fun, even though these smiley faces look absolutely nothing alike and know that I am just joking about this (btw, in Liz’s case, the smiley face is a World Adoption Day thing that she has done a few times… Liz was adopted)…:

In conclusion, I think at the very least Taylor had a major crush on Liz and at most they had a passionate as sin, sad, beautiful, tragic love affair that inspired a couple of songs on Speak Now and 2/3 of Red. 

And there you have it… I’m just going to sit on this fence, leaning slightly towards the “they did” side, unless I come across something more concrete/blatant AND have a little fun while I’m here. 

From now on, I’ll probably try to be more of a general Gaylor blog, with only the occasional Tayliz post (I say that, but I’ll probably publish 3 Tayliz posts in a row tomorrow or something). But also, probably a Liz appreciation blog because that woman is extremely talented and sexy as hell.

If read you all of this, I hope you enjoyed it. I made this more as a reference for myself. I left out some of my more crack theory and lyric analysis stuff and the social media interactions between the two. I probably missed a few key things, but I was trying to keep it somewhat brief (I think I failed at that). I probably won’t add anything else to this and will make separate posts for any other Tayliz content I come across.

[katlovesmalamutes]

When you get your to GF play the other woman

So there are two (maybe more?) occasions I know of where Taylor used Liz the play “the other woman” or more specifically the woman with the guy that is supposed to be with Taylor. 

1.The Speak Now Booklet: Liz plays the bridezilla character that is marrying the man Taylor loves, in the wedding she is going to break up.

2. In the The Story of Us music video. Liz makes out with the guy that Taylor was with and is singing to. 

Perhaps this is a weird coincidence, and it was just convenient to use Liz in both of these roles. BUT, Liz’s music video for her song H8U, is the reason I think this connection is important. 

The mv is essentially the story of Speak Now, breaking up a wedding, only this time Liz is breaking the wedding up, and the bride is a tall, blonde with curly hair. 

Other notable connections:

1. Liz wearing lots and lots of Red. 

2. The blonde bride’s red headed friend. Look familiar? 

3. THE KISS at the end of the music video, Liz doesn’t run away with the guy she’s been supposedly singing about, but rather kisses the blonde bride. THIS AIN’TNOTHING.
