I really liked the video, I do have some theories of my own, particularly for the telephone scene which you mentioned being a little confused by. For the telephone scene, I think there is another reference to The Black Dog there because that song has the lyric: "I just don't understand how you don't miss me In the shower and remember how my rain-soaked body Was shakin', do you hate me?" Hence that is why she is in the soaking rain. I also think the scenery reminds me of the Albatross. That song draws heavily on the major poem "Rime of the Ancient Mariner." That poem involves imagery of seas, the Albatross bird, and big rock formations in the water, the visualization in the music video reminds me a lot of illustrations for The Rime of the Ancient Mariner which you can see on google images if you just search the poem's title. The poet for Mariner was also a contemporary of William Wordsworth an English romantic poet Taylor has referenced before in the song The Lakes and more obliquely with Seven as Wordsworth's most famous poem "We Are Seven" also about childhood expeirences. Finally, the scene where there is paper shaped like her profile in Style has a long road into the dark cloudy west, it reminds me heavily of the cover to Bruce Springsteen's album "Nebraska" which is one of Springsteen's moodier, more poetic, and folk albums. It's often an incredibly dark but beautiful album that I highly recommend. She's referenced Springsteen before in the song "London Boy" as a contrast to her attraction to Alwyn (I love Springsteen, faded blue jeans, Tennessee Whiskey). And Springsteen somewhat recently praised Taylor Swift on the Howard Stern podcast. So while it may seem like a stretch to consider an open road which is pretty common imagery a reference to Springsteen's Nebraska I do think it is apt here and can serve to further push the sadness she feels from the end of her London Boy era sto to speak. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk, lovely video as always. Edit: I also think the telephone booth is referencing Maroon "The rust that grew between telephones" Typewriters tie into the title track, and I think the colors in the scene also reference recent color scenes, she frequently used Blue to describe her lover in previous albums and the orangey gold color hasn't been used much before but maybe it is meant to be more yellow like the Cardigan/Willow videos? Or maybe it is just contrast. Regardless, as someone whose favorite color is orange I really hope she makes an album someday where orange is the primary color scheme lolsob.

Wait Kevin so u know in the science lan scene there’s the machine that reads heart rate or what’re and it’s prints out like a spiked graph? So basically the top two lines on the paper probably say something I cursive. I couldn’t read it but can anybody else read it it catch that moment??❤️❤️

@@tswiftismytharapy Just went back ot the scene you were right that the EKG (that's the name of the machine) does spell some words! It just says "I love you it's ruining my life." Good find. :)

@@Althea-42 omg thank u❤️❤️also that was kind of underwhelming I thought I would find te release date of rep tv or something lol❤️❤️

Loved your Easter Egg video. As a Swiftie since 2008...& I knew she would be as big as the Beatles one day since then...I am currently working on a GIANT EASTER EGG that will perhaps rock the Swiftie world...but i will first relay it on twitter...then I will bring it to your attention here(as I don't have a large social media following,& perhaps you might bring more attention to it if you want to take the ball rolling with it. After you, I'll post the same Easter Egg hints on Access Hollywood's UKposts Easter Egg video rundown on "Fortnite". Interesting responses from this info I may bring,& hopefully somebody won't beat me to the punch by time I expose it... I'm sure interesting comments will arise. I just listened to the song & video at 1:30 am Pacific Standard Time...& I immediately noticed the Easter Eggs.👀☝🧐🥚

You don't get to tell me about clowns Am I allowed to love her this much? Old taylor died screaming

I love you it’s ruining my sleep

BAHAHAH

lollll

Best post I've seen all day. LOL.

YES! This was my first thought also!

Pay close attention to this part and you can hear "me e e" as well! It's def a Lover reference

I know what it means and honestly I don’t blame her.

the flying paper and standing across from another is also in the story of us mv

Yes!!

nice theory, that’s one of the best ones i’ve seen yet

THIS!

False. The last track of Midnights is Mastermind or Dear Reader for the 3am edition. It Hits Different was track 14 on Target edition (16 tracks total), so nice try but stop spreading lies.

@@rnmatsuda chill lol

Fr I am not meantally stable 😭

REAL

That’s a fact

Frrr

Ooohh

I thought this was similar with the Karma video of Taylor blue light thread hooked to the Moon and Ice Spice orange light thread hooked to Saturn the planet of Karma.

@@ingridwagner9541’love you to the moon and to Saturn’ HOLY 😱 I didn’t even make that connection when watching karma ft ice spice

Some say it refers to the midnights till dawn version

Also she’s a fire sign and he’s a water sign.

Embroidered lab coats and we can’t really read Ethan’s jacket, but we presume it’s “Dr. Anderson.” 😊

We know that Sherlock Holmes... meaning of The Black Dog Institute name is mental health. I think song 'I Look in People's Windows' is like collab' with Civil Wars in Hunger Games 'Eyes Wide Open' which could "Mean" anything: survival, acceptance, enemy, or re music executives who messed her owning songs - she released Taylor's Version.

@@patrickphuong2609Some people don’t know that Sherlock Holmes…and btw its “eyes open” instead of “eyes wide open”.

@@patrickphuong2609 "we know" - tf is "we"?

@@patrickphuong2609 wow the pedantry is suffocating around here...

I completely didn’t notice the dog until pointed out. Missed it in the video!

You’re totally right! And I’m the 13th like on your comment😇😝 Yay

Yas! Someone's spoken my mind, finally. I do think all the scenes go back and forth in the timeline.

Also, maybe a reference to The Joker and the Queen (a song with Ed Sheeran)?

Exactly. She was obsessed by this man, even got his same tats!

@@carriefingsolomon and now I'm your 13th like. :)

i try

@@taylorswifthockeybroTysm ily!❤

haha same ❤

Under that spell i see.

I also thought that the blue was for Joe bc of her songs

It's symbolizing the twinflame connection❤️

Matty is known for his typewriters and tattoes

yes it does

There are more easter eggs of 1989 than rep

@@rakhitgupta3761 1989 (Taylor’s version) 2.0

The black dog paw prints were on the Agenda posted by Taylor Nation

@@rakhitgupta3761 could it be because Healy apparently collabed on 1989 TV but was pulled before it was released? Ref to their break up in this album?

You must not be married. LOL. (No malicious intent.. just a married woman’s observation after 28 years). That silence from the person you love can be brutal; so deafening and painful.

@@NYheartinAZ I understood that comment just as they found it funny how that line comes out of nowhere and is just cut off in the video. I don't think they were laughing at the actual quote, but that's just me.

Wow really?? Whats specific about it? (Genuinely curious)

@@thereadingsylph Black mourning dress reached its peak during Queen Victoria's reign. She set the standard by wearing mourning for half of her life. With these standards in place, it was considered a social requisite to don black from anywhere between three months to two and a half years while grieving for a loved one or monarch. That’s what google said I had no idea but I recognized that style of dresses I’m a big social studies fan

@@thanKyou_aIMee thats so cool!! Thank you

@@thereadingsylph np!

@@thanKyou_aIMee Didn’t they have some kind of pigment in them that contained arsenic? Not joking. I watch a lot of historical stuff. I can’t remember if this was the dress color with the issue.

AND the running hug scene!! Just like when she ran to Joe after Rep Tour!

might as well the booth represent England (or London particularly)? As they are one of the association we all get thinking about London: a red telephone booth 😅

the song is about matty, not joe..since she touched matty for only a fortnight

What is the name of the song you're referring to from Midnights?

@@aleksandragieralt7370 Hits different!

@@costacheisabela2491 thank you 😊

False. The last track of Midnights is Mastermind or Dear Reader for the 3am edition. It Hits Different was track 14 on Target edition (16 tracks total), so nice try but stop spreading lies.

@@rnmatsudawasnt trying to spread lies, I made an honest mistake and I fixed it! try to be kinder

Thanks for the spoiler 😢

Spoiler?!😂 that movie is a classic and TWENTY years old. Buddy, if you ain’t seen it….

Not just a pill; it's a whole process of being put to sleep (in his own apartment) so the scientists can erase the memories. There's a crazy montage where he's trying to hide memories of her in deeper parts of his brain.

I was wondering about that - I don’t know anything about Clara Bow really but the electroshock scene aesthetic reminded me of Metropolis/movies of that era. Anyone know if there’s a similar scene in a Clara Bow movie?

@@mikaylaholland5536 Clara was committed to a psych ward seemingly by her husband when she had a psychotic break. Her mother was committed when Clara was 14, her mom was schizophrenic. That’s why she’s getting electro shock therapy

I do not know about the movie scene but I know the black dress is a Clara Bow reference.

Clara Bow underwent ECT.

I was about to tell it hehe and then I read your comment

Also after reading it he pulls the plug!

‘BURN ALL THE FILES, DESERT ALL YOUR PAST LIVES’ MISS MA’AM TAYLOR WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO US😭

Exactly, i thought that the first time seeing the music video 😯😁

I think you're right. I believe she even credits Emma Stone on her vinyl tracks!

I know right…if they were both single…

I’m wondering if it’s a reference to colors by Halsey which is also written about Matty Healy.

Aren't those the same colors she and Ice Spice use in Karma mv?

Right! It's like they're trying to revive innocent curly haired barefoot good girl Swift but she won't come back...

OMG WHEN DID YOU GET VERIFIED I LOVE YOU🫶🏻

IF ANYONE DOESNT KNOW ERIK!! WATCH HIS VIDEOS!! HEY SLAY DONT WALK RUNNNNN

Hi Erik

Why do you think The One is about Matty Healy?

@@lovelover4408 I don't know, it's just a feeling I have. While some say it's about Harry, it could also be Matty. Roaring 20s and never painting by the numbers with his band 1975 and one of her albums 1989. Can see them tossing pennies in a pool. And with the amount of songs and lyrics in this new album about Matty, I don't think the fans really knew until now how much importance he has played in her romantic life over the years.

I don't think the timeline fits with matty, she was still together with joe when that song came out

@@CallmethespacemanThat song is about pining for someone. You can pine for other people when you’re in a relationship you’re not happy with.

@@lovelover4408I think it’s about Matty because of the lyrics that parallel some of Matty’s own. In “Robbers” Matty sings “If you never shoot, you’ll never know. If you never eat, you’ll never grow.” In “The 1” Taylor sings “And if you never bleed, you’re never gonna grow.” Almost like a mashup of his lyrics, taking a thought from each.

I finished it! It was so good

Omg I didn’t even put things together 😊

The style reference was the obvious one. The telephone thing is super confusing

I thought that about the blue too!!

just letting u know, that Halsey song is called colors

but she wrote songs with Joe. maybe it was from when they wrote songs for evermore and folklore. I think that she has said that she heard Joe singing champagne problems/exile from the other room

@@vanib4569 nope... even in folklore many songs are clearly about matty, with some of the same metaphors and references she's using in ttpd.

@@Ilovebrushingmyhorse omg yes duh, thanks I corrected my comment.

I agree. Which brings back the people in dog costumes in We Are Never Getting Back Together...which also has a pay phone.

Boys only want love if it's *torture*

Her lipstick is in the shape of Clara Bow's too

Clara Bow also underwent ECT.

Sadly its not blank space its back space the arrow above enter on a modern key board no days. on a type writer it resets the position of the page back a line. but it is a qwerty keyboard layout which is the UK standard keyboard the keys on US keyboards slightly different.

​@@Braywen ahh okok

OMG true! 😲

the "richter scale looking thingy" is called electrocardiogram.

I’m happy I’m not the only one that did a double take lmao

1975 fans*

Omg you are so right🤯🤯🤯 It makes now so much sense… in the first scene she take the pill to forget joe and than the story with Matty starts. And at the end it is also a hint, that she do everything to forget joe (pain like a electric chair?). And then Matty comes and saves her… like the getaway car. I think Matty ist that.. the getaway car 2.0. I want to believe in this explanation because is ruining my live when joe only plays a role in SLL. I don’t want do believe everything is about Matty!

Omg!!! And you see her reach for him before it cuts to the lab scene and he isn’t doing the same! 😩

11 Bobby pins on our right side of her hair

😭

I thought the same 😅
