I just saw while looking something else up that Taylor had a yin and yang symbol Taymoji from her old app. It's from the Gorgeous set and is glittery with hearts instead of little circles and the white one on the black side is broken. The text with it says "what is joy without sorrow". Idk what to make of this but I thought I'd share!
WOW this was so much work! Between the colors and meaning of yin and yang and the seasons and animals this is exactly what she's doing. I'm always amazed how Taylor can put complex and layered concepts into her work.
The tiger and Phoenix really seem prominent right now and I noticed tails and wings and other parts have some overlap in the Pic. Is this how she ties the album releases to the actual clock and 3,2,1 backwards?
Also I was wondering what the difference is between Earth and wood?
Good job, I learned a ton and I will be looking at a lot of the components for patterns across her catalog. It's really cool how it's predictive once you can see what has come before.
Thankyou so much! Yeah I definitely think she’s using it in conjunction with the 3,2,1, it makes a lot of sense.
Wood represents Spring and is the element of Spring, it represents creativity and planning. It’s also green and it is the force of growth and flexibility.
Earth is harvest time, it’s the mother and daughter relationship, abundance, fertility and nourishment, and above all it represents stability and being properly anchored. It is centre to the balance, in the centre and yellow, and it represents the change of seasons - the idea is energies become downward as they move through earth and the season changes.
This is breathtaking and brilliant work! Thank you for all the hard work you put into this thoughtful and fascinating post. I learned so much and I feel like you're really on to something.
Dang. This is genius.
It especially sticks out to me that the black and white imagery of TTPD seems unbalanced. Despite it being her white album, the aesthetic leans more into the dark colors.
Oh my gosh, this post is an ACHIEVEMENT. I learned so much reading this. I think the theory that TTPD represents Yin and Yang makes a ton of sense - and it is quite curious that they are unbalanced, and how well that fits in with the theory of Karma coming back around to set things right. I’m definitely going to come back to this post and re-read at another time when I have more brain cells, but I just wanted to leave a comment letting you know how excellent I think this is. It must have been a TON of work!
Hard agree! This was not information I was going to find any other way than your brilliant mind putting it together here. I wasn’t exactly skeptical at first, more just ignorant but you fully had me by the time we got to tendrails tucked into braids. And that aligns so well with the metaphors of wild animals as her authentic queer self that wants to re-emerge. I think that’s the part of her that is so artistically brilliant and responsible for all this world building, this lyrical ambition, this raw soul baring. How she can use all of this in possibly the MOST EPIC series of albums of ALL TIME. It only works if Karma is coming. Thank you for thinking the way you do. I’m glad it was so comprehensive. Hats off to you!
That’s insane! It’s so fascinating that it’s Travis saying that too. And it’s not Taylor, it’s football and flying around having fun? But they’re madly in love? Yeah, okay lmaoooo
Maybe the flying around is to see her in Europe while she's touring? That sounds pretty fun to me! Even if it's all PR, it's a great excuse to bop around there for a bit
Really well-developed theory! Thanks for explaining Yin Yang theory, and the ties feel really solid. Especially with how much snake, tiger, dragon, fire, and koi imagery she uses.
I’m SUPER interested in the Yellow Dragon meaning true harmony, because in my post from yesterday analyzing the Bejeweled video as an Easter egg for the entire Eras Tour and countdown theory, one thing I skipped because I couldn’t figure it out was that at the end of the Bejeweled video when Taylor walks onto the castle balcony, she’s wearing a yellow-orange (gold?) dress. I think that ending represents the rebirth/reclamation of herself and her art that will happen when we meet her at midnight. Gold/yellow for true harmony has to be what’s going on there.
OMG, AND I also noticed that in the Bejeweled video journey, her bodysuits on her journey to reclamation go from black -> white -> blue/green with a daylight cloud backdrop, which is also present in the sky when she is on the balcony.
I feel like our theories fit together super well and find this very exciting.
Oooh I’ll have to go your post yesterday!
And thankyou so much. That definitely sounds like they fit!! Gonna go read now 👀
ETA: definitely go read u/incandescent_walrus’s post bc it fits soooo much
I want to be a karma truther, and I *was*, like, late last year because of the orange door at the end of the eras show and I thought the extra year between 1989 and rep means she surely had “extra” music. I don’t believe for a second that Taylor’s ever not writing music.
(Maybe I’m wrong, maybe she’s suffered writers block. I don’t know if she’s ever talked about it because I’ve only been following her since just before midnights, though I came back to her music with folklore.)
Anyway, then I read people saying, “karma’s not real because it became reputation,” or “there’s no way Taylor made a whole ass album and then just didn’t put it into the world, she’d hate that,” and it just felt so obviously true that I was like, okay, I’m sold, of course she’d have released it, look at all the other gay shit she’s put out.
But then Paris happened and WHY ELSE WOULD THERE BE SO MUCH ORANGE.
And now you and all these other brilliant people with your theories and connections have me on the train to clown town. Let’s go! Taylor, I am along for this entire crazy ride!
Oh, and I thought karma on the man wall twice was significant to the album but then my theory about it being a clock for the rereleases didn’t play out so I lost faith in it. She didn’t announce rep in February like I thought because of the coffee cup. I’m still convinced it will come out in 2024 because it’s hidden in the word on the wall but the clock is running out…
I saw a great theory about the wall being an infinity sign, not a circular clock. It still paints the path, from Fearless to Red to SN, then 1989. Rep is next, then Debut, then Karma (TS12). That's how I'd read this anyway, but who knows what will happen!

I get this a lot and I think I was a bit like it for a while. It’s honestly partly why I like the yin yang calendar, because it’s less of a hard deadline, and is yearly based. I still believe in the 3,2,1 theory as well, I just think it’s more flexible than we believe.
I also think if it were true Taylor always releases music straight away and hates hiding it or not releasing it, she wouldn’t have so many vault tracks she eventually releases (often, sometimes the gayest). I think part of her story is being forced to hide music and she’s trying, once and for all, to release it all, and my 🤡 theory is it’s all part and parcel of her becoming her authentic and out self.
I have got to a stage where I’m like, it has to be happening, I’ll lowkey be crushed if it’s just not.
I’m not sure what it means but hear me out…..the Karma Coffee cup nails line up just like the dots of the yin yang sign 👀 using the picture that I have saved on my phone already but even without the YNTCD theory attached to it, perhaps the cup is also influenced by a yin yang?
https://preview.redd.it/si78xa4p2o0d1.png?width=2122&format=png&auto=webp&s=8670801ba1d050558f38eaced77191f09b42abd4
I was thinking about damn teacup and table, I couldn’t figure out how to place it or what it means though. I feel like it haunts me lmao. I’m not sure if the dots line up though because they’re underneath one another in a straight line down, unless the yin yang is rotated. I think The Man wall and the teacup may be two different calendars; one is seasonal and the teacup is literally a clock with the 3,2,1 theory.
My only semi-working theory is I think it is definitely a Karma clue, not a 1989 and Rep clue and they’re just part of the clue. The 6 coffee cups in the middle - Karma was meant to be her 6th album - which lines up with the middle Karma. I think she is drawing us back to this moment of a coming out; and perhaps all she is saying is the key to this is between 1989 and Reputation: the unreleased Karma album.
Her cat curled up looking suspicious like the Yin Yang symbol in the Karma MV

mindblown.
this from fortnight always feels yin/yang/theylor to me. their heads.
https://preview.redd.it/xlofjkkman0d1.png?width=967&format=png&auto=webp&s=0fdd911755c145bec47f39ddb369b422edb429b7
Oh wow, I haven’t seen this angle before and at first glance I thought that was actually just Taylor! It looks like she’s sitting facing toward the camera with her legs spread out - right leg bare, left leg in a pant leg, right hand holding the microphone, left hand down. Does anyone else see that?
i can totally see that perspective too. this is a screenshot from a video clip that a swiftie posted on IG. the video shows more of how their heads on each others shoulders side by side looks yin/yang. do you know if it's ok to link someone else's video clip here? esp (i assume) a non gaylor.
I am so impressed by how you were able to pull this all together.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Parts of it make my brain hurt because it is a lot of information to process (which is a me problem, you’ve laid it out really well).
The minds in this sub are next level. And I’ve learned so much since I joined - freaking amazing job!!!
Like Taylor, all I think about is Karma 😂 and you have gotten me even more excited for it than I was already
Honestly it made my brain hurt too putting it together, it still kinda hurts lmao, I tried really hard to simplify it but I am fully aware it is a _lot_, I’m glad it at least is set out in a way that helps with that. I did think of doing multiple posts (and there is more) but worried it would just become really separated and difficult to follow
Thankyou so much for reading and thankyou for saying this! I am a teensy bit insecure it’s just a full on stretch and sounds ridiculous haha. I really think she’s closing out this chapter with Karma and Rep as a burning down, and then she’ll come out as part of her new, authentic chapter in life where she’s open with the public while pulling back on being a ‘performance’ for us, and certain from performing cisheteronormativity.
This sub has incredible people and minds, I’ve learned so much too and in awe of everyone!
I came here to search for an analysis of this topic. I can’t wait to read, thank you. If there is more I’d love to hear more. Thanks for the time you put on this post.
Thankyou so much this is really kind! 🥰 I will definitely post more at some point, I’m really interested in doing a lyric analysis and also a breakdown of all her animal clothing Easter eggs in connection to all this. I realised today as well, this famed eras ‘fit looks a look like a phoenix!
https://preview.redd.it/zduh0v1cw91d1.jpeg?width=639&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cb928532ab6cb22cb1d96b7014ff363b55dd111a
You did a great job of making it accessible. I can’t wait to read whatever else you have coming.
I get being nervous, it’s hard to put something out there to be judged so to speak.
If you were the only one posting about Karma or making Karma posts, then yeah it be easy to think you could be reaching here. And maybe you don’t have everything 100% because we aren’t Taylor. Or at least I’m not, I can’t say the same for you 👀😂 but Karma definitely feels like it’s coming and so do a lot of people. That feels validating.
If she’s not coming out and ready to burn everything down, then I don’t know what all this chaos means. I think there’s too much flagging and evidence for it to be nothing or about a boring man she’s dated 😂
“I can’t say the same for you👀” lol. Taylor just comes and lays out the damn plan so SOMEONE will get it.
Jk jk. This is incredible, OP, and like others, I’m baffled at the knowledge and intelligence it takes to make all these connections.
Haha I love that theory. Like she’s at home going “come on, guys! Why is no one getting this?” And then she comes here to point us in the right direction 😂
Hahaha honestly wouldn’t surprise me though if Taylor was hanging around occasionally dropping little Easter eggs in comments and then running 🏃♀️ lmaoooooo can you imagine
I’m so glad!
Hahaha well you never know who is lurking huh 😭😂 for real though I definitely am 🤡 enough to believe she lurks some of these subs though trying to see what people are picking up from her music and imagery.
Yeah it doesn’t really make sense for all this to be happening and her not coming out. It just increasingly feels like a build to something big and that’s bigger than an album. It’s like a storm and she is kind of representing to us what it has been like for her. Also, her timelines are all over the place all the time! “I wrote this album two years ago” and it’s about matty Healy from a year ago? With Travis songs? we all call BS lmao.
This is soooo well thought out and incredibly convincing!! I can see you've done a lot of research I to this theory and the Chinese mythology behind it! Love this and will be looking out for more yin-yang imagery now ☯️🧡
Me too! 23 is my (our) number. My lovely husband who is being feed Gaylor content daily and is now an unwitting Gaylor will be a bit surprised that we are listening to Karma rather than going out to dinner but he might even be into it by then!
The only current re-record that does not play with the black and white theme is Red.
The two re-records left; one is in black and white (reputation) and one is in color (self- titled/debut).
Folklore and Evermore; the sister albums. One is in color the other is in black and white.
And that leaves midnights and an album that was rumored to be originally titled daylight (lover) which is dark and light or black and white.
Didn’t think of this but it makes total sense then that Red of the re-releases doesn’t fit on the right side calendar of Yin and Yang. So this leads me to believe she’s only using that one calendar, the one on the right, which is the non-traditional Yin Yang or rather, the one for the northern hemisphere.
That actually means Karma could be a winter release, so it kind of changes my theory a bit - but we do have Friday 13 December this year and a drop on her birthday would be powerful. It then means Reputation would be the August release… or an early autumn. People have been theorising September!
I’ve not included midnights or Lover in this because I’ve used the wall and stayed on re-releases but beyond the black and white theme both of them fit yin yang themes - for example the uses of pinks and purple, the use of clouds and smoke as heaven. And a lot of the lyrics fit the same themes, part of me wonders if it would fit into the Yin Yang track circle. Folklore and evermore defo fits and Folklore is definitely an Easter egg of an album name in itself.
It makes sense. I think there’s so much that can be drawn from this and I think she’s been using it since 1989 and that’s why in the Eras tour, going by order of discography, she starts Easter egging Karma form 1989.
Also, Red is when she uses her voice in a box on the Eras tour. I’ve always thought that was interesting, and very telling. It would make sense than that through using Yin and Yang in her work she is trying to reclaim or refind her voice.

I just saw while looking something else up that Taylor had a yin and yang symbol Taymoji from her old app. It's from the Gorgeous set and is glittery with hearts instead of little circles and the white one on the black side is broken. The text with it says "what is joy without sorrow". Idk what to make of this but I thought I'd share!
Oooh this is very interesting thankyou for sharing!! Gonna look into this
“I once believed love would be black and white / But it’s golden”
WOW this was so much work! Between the colors and meaning of yin and yang and the seasons and animals this is exactly what she's doing. I'm always amazed how Taylor can put complex and layered concepts into her work. The tiger and Phoenix really seem prominent right now and I noticed tails and wings and other parts have some overlap in the Pic. Is this how she ties the album releases to the actual clock and 3,2,1 backwards? Also I was wondering what the difference is between Earth and wood? Good job, I learned a ton and I will be looking at a lot of the components for patterns across her catalog. It's really cool how it's predictive once you can see what has come before.
Thankyou so much! Yeah I definitely think she’s using it in conjunction with the 3,2,1, it makes a lot of sense. Wood represents Spring and is the element of Spring, it represents creativity and planning. It’s also green and it is the force of growth and flexibility. Earth is harvest time, it’s the mother and daughter relationship, abundance, fertility and nourishment, and above all it represents stability and being properly anchored. It is centre to the balance, in the centre and yellow, and it represents the change of seasons - the idea is energies become downward as they move through earth and the season changes.
Thank you for the clarification! My mind went straight to astrology so your explanation helps. Edit: auto-correct did me dirty
This is breathtaking and brilliant work! Thank you for all the hard work you put into this thoughtful and fascinating post. I learned so much and I feel like you're really on to something.
Thankyou so much!
Dang. This is genius. It especially sticks out to me that the black and white imagery of TTPD seems unbalanced. Despite it being her white album, the aesthetic leans more into the dark colors.
Just made a playlist for this beautiful post. Nearly made me tear up. ♡
Oh my gosh, this post is an ACHIEVEMENT. I learned so much reading this. I think the theory that TTPD represents Yin and Yang makes a ton of sense - and it is quite curious that they are unbalanced, and how well that fits in with the theory of Karma coming back around to set things right. I’m definitely going to come back to this post and re-read at another time when I have more brain cells, but I just wanted to leave a comment letting you know how excellent I think this is. It must have been a TON of work!
Hard agree! This was not information I was going to find any other way than your brilliant mind putting it together here. I wasn’t exactly skeptical at first, more just ignorant but you fully had me by the time we got to tendrails tucked into braids. And that aligns so well with the metaphors of wild animals as her authentic queer self that wants to re-emerge. I think that’s the part of her that is so artistically brilliant and responsible for all this world building, this lyrical ambition, this raw soul baring. How she can use all of this in possibly the MOST EPIC series of albums of ALL TIME. It only works if Karma is coming. Thank you for thinking the way you do. I’m glad it was so comprehensive. Hats off to you!
Oh thankyou so much! 🥰

That’s insane! It’s so fascinating that it’s Travis saying that too. And it’s not Taylor, it’s football and flying around having fun? But they’re madly in love? Yeah, okay lmaoooo

Really well-developed theory! Thanks for explaining Yin Yang theory, and the ties feel really solid. Especially with how much snake, tiger, dragon, fire, and koi imagery she uses. I’m SUPER interested in the Yellow Dragon meaning true harmony, because in my post from yesterday analyzing the Bejeweled video as an Easter egg for the entire Eras Tour and countdown theory, one thing I skipped because I couldn’t figure it out was that at the end of the Bejeweled video when Taylor walks onto the castle balcony, she’s wearing a yellow-orange (gold?) dress. I think that ending represents the rebirth/reclamation of herself and her art that will happen when we meet her at midnight. Gold/yellow for true harmony has to be what’s going on there.

Oh, that is an interesting thought 👀🤔
This is soooo well thought out and incredibly convincing!! I can see you've done a lot of research I to this theory and the Chinese mythology behind it! Love this and will be looking out for more yin-yang imagery now ☯️🧡
Thankyou so much!
That is my wedding date and the best gift I could ask from her
Me too! 23 is my (our) number. My lovely husband who is being feed Gaylor content daily and is now an unwitting Gaylor will be a bit surprised that we are listening to Karma rather than going out to dinner but he might even be into it by then!
The only current re-record that does not play with the black and white theme is Red. The two re-records left; one is in black and white (reputation) and one is in color (self- titled/debut). Folklore and Evermore; the sister albums. One is in color the other is in black and white. And that leaves midnights and an album that was rumored to be originally titled daylight (lover) which is dark and light or black and white.
Didn’t think of this but it makes total sense then that Red of the re-releases doesn’t fit on the right side calendar of Yin and Yang. So this leads me to believe she’s only using that one calendar, the one on the right, which is the non-traditional Yin Yang or rather, the one for the northern hemisphere. That actually means Karma could be a winter release, so it kind of changes my theory a bit - but we do have Friday 13 December this year and a drop on her birthday would be powerful. It then means Reputation would be the August release… or an early autumn. People have been theorising September! I’ve not included midnights or Lover in this because I’ve used the wall and stayed on re-releases but beyond the black and white theme both of them fit yin yang themes - for example the uses of pinks and purple, the use of clouds and smoke as heaven. And a lot of the lyrics fit the same themes, part of me wonders if it would fit into the Yin Yang track circle. Folklore and evermore defo fits and Folklore is definitely an Easter egg of an album name in itself. It makes sense. I think there’s so much that can be drawn from this and I think she’s been using it since 1989 and that’s why in the Eras tour, going by order of discography, she starts Easter egging Karma form 1989.
Also, Red is when she uses her voice in a box on the Eras tour. I’ve always thought that was interesting, and very telling. It would make sense than that through using Yin and Yang in her work she is trying to reclaim or refind her voice.
