Ok, more spiraling… what if “ready for it” was originally written for Matty then repurposed for Joe?

no guys the timeline still exists. she had a fling with matty at the end of 2014 and it was wrapped up by the time she got with calvin in early 2015. she did not start writing songs that made the rep album until well over a year later, right when she met joe (and got closer with lily requsite tily acknowledgement for those of you that dabble)

in fall of 2016 she starts hooking up with joe and goes crazy writing all the songs for rep, they tie back to him not matty.

i think we have to look at matty in the context of things falling apart so horribly with joe and being hard and toxic for a long time. i think she saw joe as The Answer to snakegate (it’s how she won it) and also The Answer to her yearning for golden love and she got so desperate when she realized it wasn’t going to work with Golden Joe she pivoted HARD into matty and his love bombs she put matty on a Pedestal quickly because losing joe drove her a bit mad.

i don’t think matty is actual some golden love she’d been craving for years, i think he was a fling she wondered about but nothing too deep until she reconnected with him during the wreckage of failed toe.

we can certainly revisit (in fact i think we must) songs like the 1, cardigan, illicit affairs, high infidelity and ivy with matty in mind but reputation and lover are mostly about joe. we can keep an eye on them ofc but the timeline remains.

this is why we started covering the toe timeline!

make sure and tune in if you want the full data set

Meet Tatty Poppet, your friendly local doctor!!

Welcome Home belongs to Partycoffin‼️

Get to know her better under the cut!!

Tatty Poppet was the first (licensed!) doctor in the neighborhood! And seeing as they're all puppets, she used needle and thread to mend them! Maybe her needles were too large and seemingly unwieldy, but she made this work nicely!

She worked in a homey self-regulated clinic and lived in a small house build near.

She has always let Poppy and other neighbors help out with her work with whatever they could offer.

She was seemingly chill and aloof, but in truth always warm-hearted and a tad mischievous.

She was very wise, understanding, and knowledgeable, of health care and art, and was always happy to accommodate any of your needs.

She lived life in an easy-going and patient manner, taking things in stride and one at a time.

She once commended Wally for his impressive health record, something like how "he took care of himself well," on which Barnaby replied that "one apple a day kept the doctor away." Wally was distraught and conflicted. Did his affinity to apples make Tatty keep her distance from him? Tatty had to reassure him before he could come to any false conclusions.

There wasn't anything she couldn't fix, so why? So why? Why?

You’re silent. I wasn’t expecting that. What are your thoughts?

With how fast that rebuttal came out - I wanted to wait a few hours and watch it play out.

The Sun article read much different then the others and it didn’t read like another tabloid fodder article meant for clicks.

The writer is also the editor of entertainment news for the Sun. He has a clean record for reporting. He has proof. Whatever it may be. And knew that if you want to hold integrity in a situation like this then you have to do something of good will. He gives the team a warning, he drops the article and some ridiculous denial goes out. Then it’s in the clear for whatever the agreed time is then he drops it with an exclusive.

It’s smart business.

It’s possible the Sun has been sitting on the article for a bit and gave their people a courtesy before releasing it. Then they were able to throw in a retraction extremely quickly.

This leak was not supposed to get out. Someone let out information from the label and this - and yes, it’s likely someone who knows the band well. I’ve heard that the Sun is sitting on images and as a result, they’ve likely made a deal with Tree to hold onto them until a bit after speak now and then have the exclusive to post them first.

The denial saying they don’t talk. At all. Like come on. No one believes that. There’s been more than one person (Swiftie and non Swiftie alike) come out and suggest they’ve seen her in places where Matty was in or close too. Plus the denial came on really fast - almost like whiplash. So not only did they have knowledge it was coming… they planned on it. Tree is usually silent when it comes to break ups or rumoured dating etc. she also lies to the media a fair bit (that happy Joe article)

Then Matty does a pap walk with his mom. Granted he doesn’t look like he wants to be there. At all.

This whole thing… I don’t know.

The Sun article also states how they would do anything to make it work this time…

Like, oh I don’t know, stay private and hidden even if it means having the media and fans think you hate each other?

I am proper mad!!! Those swifties, only now they acknowledge the story matty and taylor had since freaking 2014!!

"Omg so the [insert song here] is actually about matty healy?"— average swiftie.

"Omg so we ruined it for them?"

"Omg so she was in love, love?"

Yes!!! We been telling you since 2014!! We been telling you last year!! And you blocked maylor fans like rabid dogs, and now I see theories, the same theories we blogged on twitter and tumblr, and tiktok, surfacing.

A big f to the crazy taylor swift fans, who started a freaking petion a year ago!!! That is CRAZY.

It is been months and I am not forgiving you. Ever.

Looked up at the sky and it was

The lips I used to call home, so scarlet, it was maroon

The burgundy on my T-shirt when you splashed your wine into me

And I chose you

In New York, no shoes

The one I was dancin' with

And how the blood rushed into my cheeks, so scarlet, it was

The mark you saw on my collarbone, the rust that grew between telephones

I hoped you'd return

With your feet on the ground

Tell me all that you'd learned

Cause love's never lost when perspective is earned

And you said you'd come and get me but you were 25

And the shelf life of those fantasies has expired

Lost to the lost boys chapter of your life

Forgive me Peter, please know that I tried

To hold onto the days when you were mine

But the woman who sits by the window has turned out the light.

I know a place

It's somewhere I go when I need to remember your face

We get married in our heads

Something to do while we try to recall how we met

Do you think I have forgotten?

Do you think I have forgotten

About you?

Midnight album cover is her sparking a lighter - getting ready to burn it down…she gave us a heads up for what’s to come.

The breakup was obvious from the album and timing, Joe the Beard did his work and can be let go now as she moves into the next phase.

I see this PR strategy with Matty as the next step in this era. It almost feels to me like when Miley went wild to shatter her association with Hannah Montana.

Is Taylor stepping out with Matty akin to this…a clear message to the fans that she’s not concerned about their opinions as she once was, by “dating” someone as controversial as Matty?? Is Taylor stunting with Matty the equivalent of Miley’s beige clad ass disaster of a twerk??

After all - Midnight is the technical end of the day, or - the end of the era. Al the clock imagery…time’s up on the former TS brand???

I say, this is just the beginning.

I’m somewhat surprised Matty’s involved, but leads me to believe they are scheming something BIG.

They’ve been baiting us. There are parallels in their work for years (Paris and Paris, Happiness and Happiness). Recently, Being Funny in a Foreign Language and Midnight came out SAME month. Both have seventies motifs - I noticed the similarities instantly. And then of course, the 02 performance in London.

What’s going on here?? Secret best friends with vigilante plans?? Or, are they truly in love? I’ve wondered for years if they’ve secretly been together, that the bearding was for them and not actually Karlie.

What are the two genius pop stars up to?

Let’s wait and watch and look for the clues. My Tatty instincts say things are about to get fun.

And my guess - this stunt lasts a few months at best. Taylor is knowingly tarnishing her reputation by letting herself be seen with Matty. Let the public slander her for that, and when there’s a messy breakup around the end of summer…

Maybe she’s setting the stage for an undoing of the brand she’s built in the last 20 years 🤔🤔

Who really knows, probably not even our girl. 🤡

I do hope Tay’s team is looking after Joe rn

“Question...?” (Midnights) Matty Healy Masterpost

I haven’t done an analytic post in quite some time! I’m a little rusty, but I felt like this would be fun and …Question? has been pondering on my mind for some time now.

Before I hop into it, this is just a personal analysis theory. I’m not Taylor. I cannot ‘confirm’ whether a song is about someone, only Taylor holds those cards. Since it is a solely a theory; if you have a different opinion on ‘who’ you think a song is about, that is ok.

---

Now anyways, let’s get started...

Short Summary: …Question? Is a song where the song narrator (singing the song) is specifically reminiscing about a short lived moment of the past, regarding a short-lived situtationship, which we cannot fully call an official relationship because it was fleeting. The song narrator ponders on Questions she’s asking a former brief past lover. The narrator also opens up her heart, and telling her side of the story to that past brief lover, whom she has the Questions to.

Who is the ex fleeting situtationship? (Who the song is about?): Matty Healy.

How is it about Matty, well firstly, I know commonly Harry Styles is thought to be the muse of this track, and (you never can say never, he very well could ‘still’ be as Harry has similar coincidences experienced and the OOTW sample) but heavily it seems to lay on Matty.

---

Let’s take an insight look to the lyrics, in a more depth way:

‘Good girl, sad boy / Big city, wrong choices”

Taylor tends to usually refer herself as a ‘good girl’ and has in previous songs, which narratively make it easily to come to the conclusion she is speaking about herself here. The ‘big city’ she refers to is New York, which, Taylor first met Matty Healy in 2014. New York is the “big city” as it’s often nicknamed the big apple for a reason.

At the time Matty had also met Taylor, it was known he was going through a lot himself: former heroin-addiction, outbursts, etc which led to a band intervention. He was not in a good place at the time of the rumors with Taylor.

“Wrong choices” also aren’t from Matty’s end either, Taylor is also speaking about her own wrong choices in the setting of New York.

“We had one thing goin' on / I swear that it was somethin'”

This is a very specific lyric that many may overlook, but tells a lot by the song narrator. Taylor indicates that she, “swears” they had something going on, meaning there wasn’t anything official, or set in stone. Thus why she, “swears” by it. This lyric here tends to steer me away from the Harry Styles theories, as Harry was in a full fledge (official) relationship with Taylor, unlike Matty where they were briefly having “something going on” even though it was fleeting, and she explains (in the rest of the song, why).

But one thing after another | Fuckin’ situations, circumstances | Miscommunications, and I have to say, by the way | I just want some explanations

This lyric is quite intriguing because it is insight what led to to derailing and the shortness of this situtationship, and Taylor is asking for an answer (to, whom) she is singing to. Around the time Taylor was seeing Matty (in 2014), briefly as it was just starting up, there was an interview where he described potentially dating Taylor Swift as ‘emasculating’ and denying the possibility of them dating when asked in the past. He later apologized publicly, and said his words were miscommunication, implying they were taken out of context and correcting what he meant.

There is a letter somewhere of his public response, I can’t find the link right now, but it does exist.

Which fits the “miscommunication issues” that led to lost.

Can I ask you a question? Did you ever have anyone kiss someone in a crowded room and every single one of your friends was makin’ fun of you but fifteen seconds later, they were clapping too?

I won’t say much about these lyrics, as it’s a very straight forward retelling specific moment, and Taylor (the narrator) is asking how they felt about that, but it is obvious they shared a kiss, his mates teased him and it’s not the ordinary, only for them to be cheering them on, which mates tend to do. You could also say this scenario is weird for the both of them based on the circumstance.

Half-moon eyes, bad surprise Did you realize out of time?

So, Matty seems to have a hooded eye shape, which you could describe as ‘half-moon’ and when he smiles becomes more obvious in which she is describing. When she also asks, “did you realize out of time?” Is their situtationship coming to an end, and him knowing such.

“She was on your mind with some dickhead guy / That you saw that night”

Now commonly people think these lyrics apply to Harry as Harry looked distressed seeing Taylor with Calvin (masterpost here) but Harry wasn’t the only one during this time who was experiencing this. Around the timing of Matty and Taylor when Taylor started to get close and began seeing Calvin, Matty was there. That exact day. Dickhead guy is also Calvin Harris, btw for anyone specifically curious.

“But you were on somethin' It was one drink after another”

As already said in this masterpost previously, Matty in the past was taking heavy drugs during this era of time. By 2017, an intervention was held for him by his bandmates. “On something” is pretty on the nose from Taylor.

What also debunks. …Question? Being about Harry Styles, is Harry in an interview himself said he never took drugs, until One Direction split. As he didn’t want to be the one who “fucks up.” It’s been said as well, Harry took One Direction seriously way back then, while his other bandmates (Louis, Zayn) were experimenting. He was “not on something” (Harry) he saw Taylor and Calvin, and that was the BBMA. Unlike Matty who “ran out of time” immediately after, cause after their breath flirting back and forth, Taylor met Calvin right then.

“Fuckin' politics and gender roles”

Matty has been politically outspoken for awhile now, I don’t know too much about him, but 21-year old Harry at the time wasn’t politically outspoken, besides maybe saying “don’t go to sea world” which is all I can really find, etc.

“Got swept away in the gray”

This may or may not be a similar reference like how Halsey paints Matty Healy and associates him with the color gray, he has strips of gray in his hair. Gray (as a color) = associated with some negative connation's, as it symbolizes loss, gloom, etc. Just like “blue’ is associated with describing the feeling of sadness.

---

Other than the lyrics, let’s talk about the sampling from OOTW.

There are theories that ‘About You’ may be Matty’s song to Taylor (whether it was written about her ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ up to you), but About You is saying, “did you think I forgotten” while OOTW is, “I remember” … Lastly, it is Jack who has long time worked with Taylor both on OOTW and Question. Both songs are on each others pre-set list as well.

So, at the NME awards in 2020 (which Matty and Taylor both attended), some artist called Slowthai got in a fight with an audience member, and I desperately need to know if there is video footage of Taylor being protected (like, were these random guys, or her security?) and of Matty standing on a chair, lol
