Holes in the Taylor and Joe Timeline / Narrative - a thread
starting with 'big reputation.' in what way did joe alwyn have a big reputation in 2016? he was a completely unknown actor who had been in 0 films and even now most people only know him as taylor swift's boyfriend ImageImageImage
taylor uses new york city as a metaphor to describe her muse. this is a guy from london. nyc is not screaming his name. in an interview with l'officiel usa he chose london over nyc. and he doesn't have an apartment in the west village. (someone else does though!) ImageImageImage
taylor sings about her muse's ex girlfriends but joe doesn't have any. btw interesting that he had 0 ex girlfriends at 25 and his first girlfriend was taylor swift ImageImage
grammygate (1/2)
folklore's credits were changed after it won a grammy to add joe as a producer on a third of the album, the bare minimum that's required to win a grammy. he wasn't a producer for the 10 months before it won a grammy but when it won he was suddenly a producter

so the theory goes either 1. taylor pulled some strings to get her boyfriend a grammy he didn't earn (YIKES) or 2. it was an unearned 'reward' as part of a bearding contract (also yikes). and then there's the william bowery situation
taylor says william bowery is joe, she heard him singing betty, he "plays piano beautifully" and created the piano part in exile. joe has said he plays piano badly and it wouldn't be fair for him to sing. also why credit joe and william bowery separately?

taylor was with cara delevigne on the supposed anniversary date (28th september 2016) and cara was seen leaving taylor's apartment the next morning. which means she spent the '28th night of september' with cara delevigne Image
martha hunt, one of taylor's closest friends, had no clue who joe was in november 2017. here's a video of the interview where she's asked about him and she's clueless and then just says "i love a cup of joe in the morning!"

in the lavender haze mv, taylor's sad when she's alone with her partner because he doesn't "read into her melancholia", but they act in love when people and cameras are watching, and their house where they live together ends up being a fake movie set ImageImageImageImage
so it goes was written in march 2015, way before taylor met joe. this was confirmed by oscar gorres who collaborated with her on the song. so it goes contains the gold motif that taylor uses to describe her muse throughout reputation and in future albums ImageImageImage
the song london boy opens with a snippet of idris elba in an interview talking about doing 'paid dates' for charity

also the music is sampled from a lesbian sex scene in booksmart, a movie that taylor posted about
taylor wants to get married in lover (2019) but changes her mind in midnights (2022). she said lavender haze is about the 'weird rumors' people make and they ended up being marriage rumors. so she wanted to marry the lover muse but lavender haze is about someone else (her beard) ImageImage
taylor and joe have a lot of backgrid photos, which usually means the celebrities called the paps on themselves. the bahamas ones are especially telling because it's unlikely someone with a camera was hiding on a private beach in the bahamas waiting for taylor swift to show up ImageImageImageImage
three days before the delicate single released taylor was seen out with joe wearing dark jeans and nikes (trying to match the delicate lyrics). this was clearly deliberate, but if they’re real - why? why would she do this for her 'secret private relationship'? ImageImage
so many lyrics on the lover album hint at a relationship that's ending and there's a lot of anxiety and fighting happening + the entirety of dbatc. either taylor and joe have an unhealthy relationship or they broke up (or lover was about someone else) Image
king of my heart (1/2)
these lyrics make no sense. at what point in 2016 did she decide she was better off alone and started living on her own? when she moved from calvin to tom and then joe immediately? there's no time for her to be alone in this timeline Image
(2/2)
these lyrics suggest that she started dating joe weeks after meeting him. but she met joe on 2nd may 2016, started dating tom, and then broke up with tom on 6th september. taylor and joe supposedly started dating on 28th september. may-sep is a lot longer than a few weeks Image
these are the original gorgeous lyrics and the song is supposedly about meeting joe at the met gala. so the 'boyfriend' has to be calvin harris. but taylor was with calvin a week before the met gala. they celebrated gigi hadid’s birthday together (picture from calvin's snapchat) ImageImage
these songs that are supposedly about joe all contradict each other. invisible string says them getting together was fate, glitch and paper rings say it was an accident, and mastermind says she planned it all along. what? ImageImageImageImage
every time taylor does or is about do do something gay we get a paparazzi shoot or an article that basically says 'taylor swift's boyfriend is still her boyfriend.' if this was a real relationship they wouldn't need to keep confirming it like this. recent examples: ImageImageImageImage
unrelated but relevant. in jan 2018 calvin harris made these tweets about 'bearding' which he then deleted. this shows that this is a thing that happens and that taylor has done it. he's also implying he expected a grammy as a reward from his beard (but it was joe she gave it to) Image
and finally, in dear reader one of the things taylor sings about is how she's trapped and is keeping secrets. she says if we knew who she really was we would never trust her again, and that she's all alone, walking home to nobody ImageImage
shout out to one of my favorite gaylors who contributed to this thread but wishes to remain anonymous. thank you for helping me put this together! 💞
