#but i'm delusional and believe in this reputation era thing

[9w1ft]

My kaylor journey is a really long one! As early as 2014, after seeing pictures of them, the Knicks-side basketball date, I already sensed that there was something different about them. I was a baby gay at the time, just came out, so you could say that I could sense some "vibes" from fellow queers but still can't tell the difference clearly (unlike now). And at the time, I was fresh out of the Kpop fandom. If you guys didn't know, in Kpop fandoms, queerbaiting is a big thing (and encouraged by their managements), as in some members of the same group would deliberately be touchey and lovey dovey towards one another (girl x girl or guy x guy) to attract fans for their pairing. So when I stopped following kpop, I saw Kaylor, at first I was sooo ready to be on-board shipping them, but I got scared "what if this is queerbaiting again?". And so I just kept my shipping of them at bay, but still followed along from a distance for a bit, until I think 2016? Before they went into "hiding". After that honestly I kinda forgot about them, BUT I kept my theory/hunch that they weren't just friends even without seeing evidences of them being actually real here on Tumblr. Sad to say that I also skipped Reputation at the time cuz I honestly thought it was just a diss album, and now I feel stupid because it was actually Taylor revealing the Kaylor love story 😭😭😭 What truly solidified my initial theory about Kaylor was after listening to Lover. Cornelia Street. That hit me so hard, I just knew it was about Karlie. Again at this time, I haven't seen any evidences about them here on tumblr or anywhere, I shipped them purely based on my observation and Taylor's lyrics! Also, Taylor not attending Karlie's 2 weddings proved to me that they were more than bffs. Thought they were over after that. And then Folkmore came out, sparking up rumors about them again (I saw a lot on twitter), I wondered why they were still being linked if it was supposedly over by the Lover era? And so that was the time I finally actually looked for evidences here on tumblr. I'm completely mind blown by how real everything is. I also cannot believe that my hunch was right all along, thought I was delusional. But yeah I was already a Kaylor believer just by listening to Taylor's songs before actually falling down the rabbithole, that's how powerful they are!

oh my goodness ANON this is so amazing to have had a hunch and to have kept it to yourself for years.. and then to suddenly humor yourself only to find this enclave all about it!! that must have been such a trip!

i often think about how close i was to being around here much earlier, or how taylor or karlie stuff would slip into my life and just sit there without me like, knowing lol. i guess we find ourselves here in our own time.

#like i’ve been on tumblr on other capacities since red era #or i got gifted Lola perfume a long time ago and was like huh weird bottle but this model is so pretty lol
