What does the Saturn shot mean? What about the boat? What Taylor putting both of her arms in the air? It’s funny how little you simpletons know about the occult
The outfit on the hourglass scene is the same from the one she used on her performance on the 2019's AMA as the artist of the decade... Which, in that time, she didn't own any of her firsts 6 albums (debut to reputation) and there was a chance she couldn't sing the songs from any of that albums because of Scooter... and the hourglass for me is she saying: I will own my music and it's just a matter of time, baby...
On the yellow brick rd she's keeping her side of the street clean, and the reapers are the record industry who wouldn't know what she means. Possibly the three owners of her un re-recorded music? It was sold 2x, 1st by Big Machine, Then by 🛴 to the company that owns them now I believe. She looks so innocent because she was a child when she signed with Big M, and is in a fantasy world, aka OZ, which isn't real, not the real Taylor. Just my take on it after 3 watches.
The painting at the start has the long pond studio on it, and the pearl necklace that she wears when lying on olivia has 13 visible pearls, the attention to detail is incredible
@@tala2987 oh damn I didn’t think of the clock aspect I think you’re right and selfishly I want you to be because I love both albums but I’m personally connecting hard with reputation right now and I want it so much. Also let me get out my clown makeup because my birthday is August 13 and I now have hope I can maybe manifest reputation release on my birthday (even tho I agree with the august 7 theory)
There were 3 lightbulbs (Speak Now) then 5 (1989)…also, the 3 “deaths” onthe other side of the book might be the 3 albums that she hasn’t re-recorded yet, they’re still on the dark side 😂
I think the lightbulb flickering represents how at the beginning of her career she might have had perceived herself of having a shaky legacy“Ask me why so many fade but i’m still here”. And after that the other lightbulbs light up and then explode. This could represent her legacy and level of fame that over got so big and so powerful it caused the lightbulbs to explode.
The Lightbulbs are incandescent not LED. Incandescent bulbs give off a warmer, more natural light than LED which are often more of a blue wave. Lightbulbs (incandescent) explode if the overheat, or have too high wattage run through them. No clue if that connects anything lol. The details are so well planned, it is amazing to pull that off, time and again.
A few more! There are five birds in the gondola scene (5 = 1989). The nails definitely represent 1989 and Reputation. If you do an eras manucure starting with the left pinkie, blue is on the left thumb (1989) and black is on the right thumb (Rep). The coffee cup with the clock is between the blue and black nails like the rumoured shelved album Karma would have been between 1989 and Rep. So the coffee clock striking midnight at the end could mean that it's time for Karma to be released, or that Midnights includes re-worked Karma recordings, or that we will get 1989 and Reputation TS version at the same time.
I also love this theory and will now be daydreaming of a double release literally I would have no more serotonin left for the rest of my life after that day and honestly Worth it lol
It’s me, hi! If you scroll to her Insta post on March 17th, you would find that the last pic is her nails coloured in correlation with her 10 albums, so yes the nails in the vid represent 1989 + reputation
I have a theory on the Lightbulbs: So Taylor has always spoken about how her songs have come from her having "lightbulb moments" of ideas, the creative sparks and this motif with the line of "I'm still here" is further cementing that her superpower of writing her own songs is what has kept her relevant and she's still here and we still love her. She's mentioning that it's because her songs are from the lightbulb ideas she gets, her legacy will continue till the sparks last... Until one day she's eventually out of it. Even more important since her writing her songs is the reason why she was able to re record her songs!!!❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
The lightbulb scene felt very out of place in this video, purposefully. Three things came to mind. 1) Its very reminiscent of LWYMMD music video maybe Karma is finally breaking out of the golden cage and we will be getting Karma as an Album 2) The glass box in Ready For It music video. 3) Like the cake with the equal sign she might have another “ft”with Ed Sheeran’s Subtract album.
I think it was referencing her evermore album "incandescent glow", since someone said that every scene resembles her albums. The first record scene is debut. Hourglass one is Speak Now, since it's gonna be out really soon, the devil one is reputation, the ice spice seashell one is maybe red, the boat one is lover, the midnight sky with stars is midnight, the mountain Taylor might be folklore also the moon and the Saturn. Edit: the dorothy wizard of oz scene represents dorothy, not the first blue record with butterflies one.
@@ivy_1989 oh good one and if you’re right and the 5 bulbs represent 1989 it could be further evidence of 1989 and rep coming out at same time as another commenter mentioned above
I was perplexed by the clock not being at Midnight, so I went to re-watch Bejeweled MV (where the watch is at Midnights when exile end, then the clock either 3:15 am or 00:15 am). What I saw then is that, in the elevator, she presses the 3rd floor (Speak Now), goes out where the diamonds fall on her dress, and then, she goes back and the arrow points at 5th floor, so 1989. Basically, she says "Speak Now, a little time, then 1989"... And it's quite confirmed with the color palette and everything you spotted!
AH! My brain late at night while making this was like maybe it's her first 5 albums but then i'm like wait she's re-recording 6 so i gave up but what you said makes so much sense!
When she is laying on Olivia that dress looks like the one she is in at the beginning of Me! When she yells I am calm. Maybe it's her 2ay of saying I am finally calm and I get to sit back with my cats while Karma takes care of everything ❤
She is dressed like a 50’s or 60’s housewife with that dress and pearls. If you like old films and TV shows, she looks like the Leave It To Beaver mom who was always dressed in designer clothing with a pearl choker. Not really realistic of a housewife. It’s just what TV was trying to sell the masses of a perfect family with 2 kids and a stay at home mom, while the dad works. Not sure why this would be an Easter since we already have Lavender Haze. However, it does seem like an old Barbie look too.
I thought the hourglass could be the countdown to Speak Now (Taylor’s Version). The scene that looks like the Wizard of Oz on one side and dark on the other looked to be a reference to 1989’s wonderland and then reputation.
The scene with the lightbulbs is reminiscent of the birdcage scene from the LWYMMD video. Both have the same aesthetic...her hair and makeup are very similar...and the same color scheme. I would have called it orange before but now I'm gonna go with copper, like a copper filament in old bulbs. Since Taylor has yet to use orange/copper for an album, the speculation that there is a "missing" unreleased album makes sense...one that preceded Rep. If the lightbulb scene in the Karma video is a reference to the birdcage scene, it's obvious that we are supposed to connect the two. I think in both, Taylor is a shackled artist. The birdcage scene in the LWYMMD video was an obvious hint at her feeling like a caged canary performing for others, but lacking freedom to call her own shots. And, in Karma, she is the spark of creativity...lightbulbs represent ideas... that powered all the albums that Scott Borchetta had control of. Now, if both scenes are coded commentary on her Karma album, what I want to know is...what does the fact that the lightbulbs shatter mean? If it has to do with her albums finally being free from Borchetta's control and being rereleased as @Wildest Dreams suggested, could it be that Scott kept Karma "under glass" too and that's why it has never been released? Maybe he wouldn't allow her to release it? But maybe Taylor has rerecorded it and can now set it free?
A live-action Moana movie was recently announced. I wonder if the Te Fiti reference means that she either has a role in the movie or if she is creating music for the soundtrack???
Looking forward to everything but debut will be interesting. I’ve been with her since 2006 so looking forward to that. as someone who is blind, I appreciate your descriptions for the Easter eggs. Thank you.
I'm looking forward to debut the most too I think because her voice is so much stronger now. Plus that album holds a special place for me. I need to hear her Taylor's version of Mary's song!
Taylor has also mentioned several times that butterflies represent rebirth to her and she wore jeans with a butterfly in New York awhile ago. I think that’s referencing her rebirth from the end of a long bad ending to her relationship with Jo.
If she keeps releasing music videos, i'll be there!! I know i missed some at the beginning of mdinights era, but I'm back. Thank you for watching these =)
@@Shineonmedia this is the first video I’ve seen of yours and I really like your vibe I hate when these things scream at you and are super erratic you have a great energy and I will be watching more of your videos
Love this! The cat scene confused me at first. Because the dress is blue, which is 1989, but it also looks Speak Now-ish, and made me think of the “no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity” line
She's the Libra statue, with 1989 written on it. Maybe 1989 is coming out in October (she always releases albums around the 21st Oct - which is the Libra star sign month)
Oh and the space scene with the strings, reminds me so much of ….Ready For It?. There were some strong reputation era references in this one. I feel that will be the next.
The lightbulb could be referencing fearless album or maybe just a metaphor of lyric "ask me why so many fade but i am still here" by the flickering of lightbulb
I see that too! And when they exploded is become she became stronger and trusts her power more now. When the light is flickering it kinda looked like a low power on top, like she was dying.
@@jennifernicolae how does kardashian factor into midnights album? The song "karma"? It seems kind of random when everything else seems planned to the letter. But who can know the mind of TS lol....
Personally, I believe she is done rerecording her albums. It's just the release that is taking a lot time because she needs to ensure that each album will have their own time once released.
The gold clam shell that Ice Spice is sitting in might have been an Easter egg in Bejewelled - she has a gold clam pocket watch at the start of the song in Bejewelled
The nails, I think, are significant. The blue is near 8! Maybe a 1989 announcement in August? August 7th?? Maybe a reputation announcement in Feb!? 5:26
You thought the hourglass and reference to the song seven could mean something is coming on August 7th but that could also mean 8th July which makes some sense as Speak Now TV is coming on 7th July and you could expect a single/music video to come out the next day
time moving in hourglass also might represents that the time for speak now (TV) is ticking. Upper taylor might be speak now (TV) taylor and down taylor original speak now taylor
Genuinely think the broom is another reference to the Wizard of Oz, specifically the Wicked Witch of the West's magic broom. It even curves kind of the same way! I think by using it to sweep her side of the street clean, she's saying she's no longer concerned about whether people want to make her out to be the villain; she's keeping her head up and moving forward down that Yellow Brick Road to success.
Ohhhh I'd like to think it has something to do with her working on the Live-action of Moana since it is rumoured to be released in the future. Lil-Manuel wrote the songs there so yeah. Maybe, just maybe (sorry for my English hehe)
In look what you made me do, Taylor takes off her mask at the line “all the they think about karma” and in the Rep section for the Karma music video, she is also wearing a mask which she then takes off. Also the grim reapers flipping her off could represent the three albums she just re-record: Fearless, Red and Speak Now
I haven’t seen anyone talk about this one yet, the image used for the visualiser(the one with the planets), if you look at the stars in it you can see to visible groupings of stars, the right group one lines up to say TS obviously meaning Taylor swift and the group on the left (turned upside down) its outlining the numbers 1989 very roughly but if you outline it physically it’s very obvious xx
I've heard a theory about the Moon and Saturn part. The verse in Seven, of course, represents the amount of love Taylor allegedly has for Joe. By closing the gap between the two astronomical objects it could mean the love is becoming non-existent.
I think the lightbulb scene is representing her next re-recordings. Three bulbs go out, representing speak now as her third album and then all 5 go out representing 1989, her fifth album. Also, she’s “trapped” inside these lightbulbs, perhaps alluding to the fact that after she rereleases them she’s no longer trapped by foot pushed manual vehicle. Also, I think with this mv she’s referencing all of her eras and obviously we’ve got the eras tour so I think this is Taylor’s way of saying that she’s actually re recorded all 6 of her albums (she’s been re-recording them since 2019) and is now just living her life.
A couple of things.. she’s holding her arms in the first scene at 10 4.. the gondola is facing 10 4 when they are above it! I think an album is being released on either 10/4 or 10/20 which also coincides with her usual release dates for albums! But the question is, is it 1989, Reputation or a NEW album?!
i think the part where it’s when the book opens i think it’s saying 1989 era where it was all happy and nice and stuff and reputation era and as you can see she is in the “1989 era” so that is maybe a way of saying 1989 is next. And the light bulbs could be a reference to 1989 coming next cause it goes from 1 lightbulb to 3 which could mean 3 of her albums are now taylor’s version and then it goes into 5 lightbulbs which also her 5th album is 1989. and in the part where she is stone can be a reference of Out of the woods.
The Egyptian row boat could be a reference to Katy Perry’s Dark horse music video, who we know Taylor and Katy had some BAD BLOOD in the past. The Dark horse music video also came out in 2014 like 1989. Dark horse also featured Juicy J, who was born in 1975. Matty Healy is part of the band The 1975. And Matty Healy was born in 1989.
@@KarlaGuzmanKarlaGZ wish we could post pictures here. I looked through and compared both and besides the gold shimmer there isn't any other similarities.
About the book scene with both sides I do think is a reference of WOO representing the song Dorothea from Folklore saying goodbye to the dark side of reputation saying that maybe REP is coming first
The idea of the book being two of her eras is interesting. I also thought it was to represent the media & haters bcs she's creating her art and music and waving to her haters like "ur giving me ideas thx" yk. A bit like in Lavender Haze where she says "Get it off your chest, get it off my desk" as in being okay with the fact that ppl comment and hate but leaving it out of her life and this world she's created for herself thx to her music + Then the hourglass is def a Folklore ref but I feel like it also became a Lavender Haze and SN + when she's laying on the cat she has a light blue dress!! + the lightbulb part gave me the sense of her getting her ideas from all her haters once more. Karma being the theme here, it's like her mind comes up with art, lyrics and music for everything other people say about her. "Asked me what I learned from all those years [...] ask me why so many fade but I'm still here" could be just this idea of creating her art from everything that has happened to her, what ppl say abt her, her life basically :)
Love the Zodiac stuff for Libra (the 7 sign in the zodiac chat) and Aries (the 1st in Zodiac chat) yes as one comment aries and Libra are opposites on the chart a little deeper meaning. Aries, being in the first house represent sounds as a libra is in the seventh house, representing partnership/marriage. also, when she’s in the hell world, that black dress really screams Hades to me, Hades, being associated with the planet, Pluto. Pluto in the zodiac chart is Scorpio. Scorpio is right after a libra, putting it in the eighth house, Scorpio/Pluto represents the planet of transformation.
when she's lying on olivia the outfit including the red lipstick and the way she looks at the camera gives me blank space music video vibes... especially the scene where shes painting a picture of him in blank space mv.
Her earrings when she is laying on the cat are in the shape of the sign again of Scorpio ♏️- in the middle of her pearls which are white in that clip - signifying purity but the blue center is like a diamond 💍 ring band with 6 jewels showing. And it’s blue so maybe a reference to her 6 blue years with Joe ?
The boat with lover sky and vibes when she rows the ripple in the water looks like half of a heart. When the camera looks down on them is the best visualization.
my theory for the moana part is that it’s another reference to greek mythology. the two first gods were the erath and the sky and then they went on to create the rest and the only thing that came before that was chaos. this really is the only thing that rings true to me as taylor is the earth and ice spice is the sky and moments before they were in outer space catching planets with lassos like cattle. i think it’s particularly interesting that taylor keeps placing herself in the position of justice and karma throughout the video, when i saw that lady justice scene for the first time my jaw dropped. during the moana part she sings ‚karma is the thunder rattling your ground‘ and then she’s a landmass and it’s giving vigilante shit where she is taking matters into her own hands to enforce what she perceives as just. i really hope someone is digging up something about those lightbulbs and that gondola scene soon.
I think the storybook scene is either the duality of reputation. How she actually is and how the media used to portray her. Or, it’s representing lover and reputation being sister albums.
Lot of reputation and 1989 vibes in this music video reputation vibes obviously in the beginning. The lightbulb breaks which involves reputation since in ready for it she breaks the glass in the end. Not to mention it starts like a grave just like in look what you made me do. Also in the cappuccino in the end has a bit of a shape of a snake not completely but kinda 5 lightbulbs represents 1989 album, lots of blue, not to mention her laying down like in blank space. These are just my thoughts too. :)
when she is holding the coffee her fingers are by 2oclock (rep nail) and 8oclock(1989 nail) i dont know if that means anything but i hadn’t seen anyone say anything about it so thought i would point it out!
I wonder if she will have a song on the wizard of oz movie that Ariana has been filming. Or on the new barbie movie since that has been giving off land of oz vibes as well 🤔
@@latsyrc881 I think the Barbie soundtrack has already had its artists announced and she wasn't on there =( Wicked though is a musical already packed with songs but there's always an original thrown in there. Maybe!
How can anyone not be talking about the Dorothea representing Selena Gomez and the 3 other characters representing Hayley, Kylie and Kendall or even the 3 kardashians? lol AM I CRAZY??? I would say yes, but, that was the first thing to pop in my head when I saw this. Something about Taylor as Dorothy also made me think about Selena (back to you photos)
Lots of discussion on Zodiac. Reminds me of when she accepted an award virtually and there was that zodiac imagry behind her. As for this lost Karma album...I dont think she would release a song titled Karma if there is potential for an album with same title to eventually see light.
The lightbulb scene: three light bulbs are shown first. This could represent Speak Now TV, which we know is coming next. Then two more light bulbs are shown. That makes 5. 1989 is her 5th album. It could be that 1989 TV is coming next after Speak Now.
I think the light bulb has an orangey kind of glow, orange being the karma theorised album. She is trapped in the bulb but is still Shining. It goes from 3 to five bulbs, speak now to 1989??? I thought it was odd timing that of that was the karma segment she was saying ' Im still here' (that speaks for itself) and then it explodes, so maybe that's showing its coming out in the world? Or it's being destroyed.?
The opening scene with the butterflies reminds me of her song Clean from the 1989 album. There is a lyric that goes, "when the butterflies turned to dust that covered my whole room." Each butterfly could represent her albums: 1989, Debut, and Speak Now. Since she is alluding to Clean, one of the lines in the chorus is "gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean" could hint at her relationship with Scooter Braun and once she releases her rerecorded versions of those albums, Taylor will finally be free.
ANOTHER CLUE I FOUND was in the record player at the beginning. A record only plays once the stylus, the needle, actually makes contact with the record. In the mv, we can hear the distorted music BEFORE the needle actually touches it. this could allude to her relationship w joe. it could show her trust in joe wasn't ENTIRELY ready and solidified, but their relationship took off full-blast. In the great war too, its quite evident that taylor was having trouble trusting joe, when she says 'you said i have to trust more freely'. so this could show another reason for the breakup, that their trust wasn't fully established, and hence the relationship was premature and possibly rushed.
4:49 here’s my idea!! so midnights started out as just midnights, then 3am edition, now ‘till dawn. So what if it keeps on goin untill a daytime album! And this is a night album, hence the name. And right after what taylor considered a night album (reputation) came whay she considered a day album (lover)!! And what does a light baulb give off.. light! and like in the day.. there is light? lol but i’m kinda excited for her next studio album (not re record) becuase i LOVE lover!!!
Maybe she's hinting that she's gonna release 1989 AND Reputation? Like at the same time or one after another. If it's the other I think she will release 1989 first and then Reputation right after that, since there are more hints for 1989. It's just a guess because it's really a lot of work to do both, but she's a hard worker so who knows
in the storybook i feel like she was in the sweet inncocent section first maybe referring to 1989 coming out first? and then reputation later? idk just what i thought of
In the hourglass I think the purple sand makes reference about spaek now is around the corner and she (speak now) is going to be free when the sand stops falling
When she’s in the mountains, it made me think of Moana but there is also mountains called the sleeping lady. I wonder if any of them are in a significant area to her.
The clip her paddling creates half a heart in the water and when they shoot it from above the boat resembles a woman’s yoni! I’m guessing from the time bottle ( which is in a figure 8 =law of karma) she was in then going from that to Ice spice being in a clam ( again reference to a woman’s yoni & womb.. and all the pearls resembling eggs.. and ICE S was in red!! Like the time of month and releasing the pearl/ eggs..now thinking about the sand timer she was stuck in to that and all the other references makes me think a lot of it was over her having a miscarriage or not wanting children now with him.
Ever since I heard Bigger Than the Whole Sky and then the supposed breakup I keep thinking that a miscarriage did take place and was a major factor in the split. 😢
At the end of the music video, Taylor hold a coffee cup. When holding the cup, two of her fingers are visible. One is painted last gut blue of 1989 and the other black for reputation.
I thought maybe it was Jack at first but then why would she blur him . She has put him in a video before so why now hide him?! So then watching it again , after she says “Karma is My Boyfriend” then he appears and the clock ticks. A new chapter . Also the 1975 did work on Midnights.
Biggest easter egg to me is that Taylor sing 'Karma is my boyfriend' with lady which actually her probably new boyfriend was laughing at. I think it's kind a confirmation the rumor, in her wonderful and unique style. Ohh Taylor, lov u.
The wizard of oz reference is an Easter egg for Barbie soundtrack. Barbie movie is seemed to be inspired by wizard of oz. Like she moves to that world and etc. And there’s a book sooo it’s a tale
I mean I'd gladly take a musical collaboration between them...just not....sure...nvm hahaha. But he was seen at the studio a few times with her too and we know he worked with her on some midnights stuff that never came out I think...so maybe a collaboration is happening
Now that I have noticed the blue and black nails, I have a feeling that she had those two colors showing, simply because of a recent Insta post she made (when the Eras Tour was getting ready to start) with her nails colored in each album color. And she colored them in order of each album from left to right.
the Moana reference could be that Te-fiti had he heart stolen, but then returned back to an island once returned, which could b the same with taylor, as her music got stolen.
MAYBE she’s going to release the so called “missing album, Karma” theory? In an interview awhile back Taylor said that she can plan things as early as 3 years ahead right? Well… last year she released midnights. This year, just yesterday she released the Karma music video. Okay, but let’s go back 3 years ago when she released “The Man” music video in 2020 and that’s where she had the “Karma” in between 1989 and reputation. 3 years later in the Karma music video at the end is the coffee with the clock in between her two painted thumb nails that represent 1989 and reputation. Representing and saying it’s time for the missing album to be released?! Maybe not but you never know 😂🤷♀️
I think this might be a possibility as in lavender haze video it pans from blue toenails to peachy coloured fingernails. (They may be pink which wouldn't be karma) Also in the karma remix MV I noticed the wording "karma is a fire in your house, and she's bout to pop up unannounced" and on the eras tour she starts burning a house I think 9 months ago? So maybe in 3 months we will have Karma? Maybe anniversary of her getting her albums back??
When the record is distorted, it makes me think of Glitch and then it starts playing normally, like the Glitch has been fixed. It makes me think of this part “A brief interruption, a slight malfunction I'd go back to wanting dudes who give nothing”
