The Love Blackout "It's all part of the f*cking story"
Ok, this is gonna be a long post. But hopefully, this will help you understand this very important piece of Kaylor evidence and explain LSK a bit better too.
PS: I'm new to Tumblr, while doing my research I'll tag those post/blogs but I don't know if there's anything else I should do, let me know!
Love Blackout Meaning
So all this Love Blackout discourse comes from those Glitch lyrics:
"But it's been 2190 days of out love blackout, the system's breaking down"
First, let's start by looking at what Love Blackout is supposed to mean:
"A suppression of information, especially one imposed on the media by the government"
Interesting... a suppression of information imposed on the medias 🤔
Like not being seen/papped together by the medias??? Maybe.
2190 days
Knowing Taylor, she wouldn't use 2190, a very specific number, for it to mean nothing would she??
So what does 2190 days means in years? It's 6 years:
Didn't she recently talked about a relationship, 6 years AND the medias recently?:
Yes! In her Lavender Haze Instagram Reel! The same where she talked about that scene in Mad Men 🤔
"If the world finds out that you are in love with somebody, they are gonna weight in on it"
"Like my relationship FOR 6 years"
Funny how she didn't say her relationship OF 6 years.
She wanted to protect the real stuff from media, in the last 6 years.
So if you count the days backward since Midnights release on October 21st 2022 it gives you Octobre 22nd 2016.
The last time Karlie and Taylor were papped together was at Drake's birthday on Octobre 23rd.
But The Love Blackout was not over on Midnights release day.
Taylor and Karlie were still not papped together at an event (they weren't papped at reputation stadium tour, they just posted a picture together).
So Midnights release day should count in our calculation.
And if you include that day. It ends exactly on Octobre 23rd 2016.
Before taking a deep dive into this Love Blackout, let's take a moment to talk about Octobre 2016.
Because A LOT of important stuff happened that month.
Octobre 2016
Octobre 11th 2016:
Taylor goes to diner at the Waverly Inn restaurant with Suki Waterhouse, Cara Delevigne and Dakota Johnson.
Later that evening, Suki posts a table cloth with : "It's all part of the f*cking story" written on it and a "K".
She deletes it not long after. But us Gaylors have all jumped on it already.
Plus, one of Taylor body guard is papped leaving the restaurant with that Table cloth:
But what story?? What does it all mean??
Let's look at what happened in the days after this event.
I'm sure Taylor had a plan 😉
Octobre 12 2016:
Taylor goes to the Kings of Leon concert with the same friends and some more.
It's funny because, it's at this very concert, that Taylor is rumored to have started her relationship with Joe.
Are you starting to see the "f*cking story" they were talking about??
Taylor, Karlie and Serena Williams go out at the Bowery Ballroom.
Yes. Yes, this combination of names is suspicious 🤔
Back to the 2190 days:
So we have established that counting backward from Midnights release and including Midnigths release day.
We have Octobre 23 2016.
This was Drake's birthday party and Taylor attended with Karlie:
The article was published the next morning
In fact, it's the last time ever that they both were papped at an event together: (Love Blackout)
Two important Kaylor Lore came from that Party:
Golden tattoos "made your mark on me, a golden tattoo"
The Third Polaroid
If we follow the Love Blackout definition : "A supression of information imposed on the media"
We can stop there, everything makes sense, the song ties back to Karlie, that moment and everyone is happy.
But what if there's more to this?
The Blood Moonlit Implication
corneliastvendor did an incredible find: https://kwyw.tumblr.com/post/711447685996167168?is_related_post=1
(I also use picture of their post here)
Stay with me on that one and I swear this will all make sense!
Plus there's a lot to unpack after this.
In Glitch, there's the lyrics: "Nights are so stary, blood moonlit"
Blood moon is a lunar eclipse.
There is even a bloodmoon the Glitch Official Lyrics Video:
And when was the last lunar eclipse following Midnights release?
source: corneliastvendor
On Novembre 8th 2022.
If we count the days backward where does it lead us?
source: corneliastvendor
It leads to Novembre 9th 2016.
Karlie and Taylor last event that they attended together (except reputation) is Lorde's birthday on Novembre 7th 2016.
On Novembre 7th Taylor posted this picture:
And Karlie posted the same picture the day after on Novembre 8th:
It's the last post about them attending an event together (beside reputation).
The presidentatial election also happenened on Novembre 8th 2016, and Trump was elected... (I believe this is important).
So the last post of them at an event together is on Novembre 8th 2016.
Wich means that the Love Blackout would have started the day after right?
Exactly 2190 days since the blood moonlit night followingg Midnights release.
And something tells me that this specific date is really important in their story, because here's a screenshot of The Man MV:
The. Exact. Same. Ring. and pose...
Lorde's birthday, is also the first time ever that Taylor wore the Victora Secret Angel Ring.
source: tilynation
I think she wore this ring there, knowing that they won't be seen together after as a way of being able to flag Karlie in the future.
The VS angel ring is really important and Taylor wore it at many significant events:
All the making of videos of reputation
The Call It What You Want scene of Miss Americana
On Decembre 4th 2019 (Kissgate anniversary)
So last post together before they disappear on Novembre 8th 2016, same day as the US elections.
This ties back to those lyrics: "I recall late Novembre, slowly I said, holding my breath. You don't need to save me, but would you run away with me? Yes"
Remember that in Miss Americana, it's Karlie who says "Yes".
The Love Blackout:
During that time, after Novembre 8th 2016, Taylor is mostly in London...and so is karlie.
Decembre 2016:
Taylor spends the holiday at her in-laws in St-Louis.
January 2017:
Taylor is in London.
There's a very interesting entry in her Lover Journal that talks EXACTLY about the Love Blackout:
"I'm essentially based in London, hiding out trying to protect us from the nasty world that just wants to ruin things. We have been together and no one has found out for 3 monts now"
And it is almost words for words her Lavender Haze Instagram Reel....
(Las time they were papped together, in Octobre 2016, Drake's birthday party, 3 months before)
And who was in England during the exact time frame? Karlie!
I believe the picture was posted a couple of days after.
But regardless, this is important because look at the Swans.
And now look at the Lover Merch:
Plus, Karlie did a very cute post that month with Swarovski Swans jewelery:
Refering the Eye Theory while she was at it!!!
Also, Taylor said in the Long Pond Studio Session that she went to The Lake District a couple of years ago.
And in Invisible String we have: "Bold was the waitress on our three year trip Getting lunch down by the lakes. She said I looked like an American singer"
Kaylor anniversary is March 6th 2014. So Jan 2017 is close enough to that anniversary.
Plus, 3 years for Toe would have been in 2019, wich doesn't match the "couple of years" of LPSS...
Jannuary 11th 2017:
Taylor is paped going out of a gym in LA.
It's the first time that she is paped in a couple of months.
And she wears the VS Angel Ring
source: tilynation
In the reputation secret session she explained how she was overwhelmed by this.
"her thought process was less about herself and more about how she could possibly have a normal relationship when this was her life"
