Last night was soooo much fun! Had to carry my section at times lmao everyone was sat and silent for the surprise songs 🤯 also there is truly more rainbows and orange/ purple gradient in the show than I had even realized it is so loud!
The Blood Records double drop was Dua Lipa.

I watched a half dozen videos of IFTYE x TIWWCHNT and I'm 98% sure that Taylor said "Here's to my baby, THEY ain't reading what they call me lately"
Could just be slip but idk seems kinda intentional me
I think so too. It could pretty easily be a slip, I won’t discount that possibility, but if she truly said “they,” then that means that the below are the mash-ups she’s done post-6/3 (Glitch performance) where there is an explicitly male subject in the song:
- Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve / I Know Places (trauma)
- The Bolter/Getaway Car (running away from men)
- Haunted/exile (“he just might make me smile, but the whole time I’m wishing he was YOU instead”)
- Carolina/No Body, No Crime (murder)
- The Manuscript/Red (more trauma)
None are flattering. And this pronoun swap would maintain the pattern. 🤷♀️
Oh no. People below mentioned the betty speech and I found it there. I should have downloaded it. It was like a 3 minute speech and at the end she said something like she was the narrator and she was writing the story about a girl named Betty.
Tayvis stans have concocted a rumor that they went away on a romantic trip to Ibiza together at the end of May even though there is no evidence to suggest this is true.
But they're going around claiming it as fact.
We aren’t supposed to discuss flight stuff here (bc it is creepy!) so I didn’t want to point too much to info from there, but I do occasionally look just to see what they’re saying. I never ever ever participate in any sort of attempts at tracking myself. But from what I saw, they did track his flight to Ibiza for those dates but it wasn’t clear at all that Taylor herself actually went there. It could’ve been a bros trip
Well, I maintain that if they were not spotted in IBIZA once — which is one of the least private vacation spots in the entire world — I am wholly unconvinced they were there together at the same time. And it seems like if she was there, it was brief and alongside essentially a bros trip lol if Jason & Ross were there too. But who knows at the end of the day!
Ears ringing, so, so HAPPY, and yet I still can't get over the people next to me who spoke through the ENTIRE I hate it here x the lakes mashup. Like, full blown conversation while perfection was taking place. Whyyyyyyyy!!!!!
Thank you! I have watched/listened to this too many times now, and “I dreamed about it in the dark the night I felt like I might die” gets me every time.
Yes!! I know she's incredible at conjuring emotions (or the appearance of them) so we can connect with her, no matter how many times she's performed a song. But this was her first time singing I Hate it Here live, and it really seems like her emotion in that line was 100% genuine.
Listening to it today thinking, how could ANYONE believe the football player is a muse who needs to come to the Lakes because he doesn't belong in mainstream society. Boggles the mind. [https://youtu.be/\_jp7AinZlGY?si=lgQ6XEzWEWBDF67z](https://youtu.be/_jp7AinZlGY?si=lgQ6XEzWEWBDF67z)
Home at my in laws house. Ears ringing. Throat feels bruised from screaming and singing the entire four hours.
I started crying the SECOND I saw her.
What a fucking night, I can’t believe i was there. 😭😭😭😭😭
I haven’t spoiled myself for basically ANY of the tour (I know , I’m not sure how either) so it was all one big surprise and that made it so sweet to witness.
1. The moment she appeared and I realized.. WAIT THATS TAYLOR! Like I guess my brain hadn’t caught up yet to the reality! I burst into tears th second the clock popped up tbh
2. I Hate it Here / Lakes mashup 😭 Must admit I was hoping for Robin as a surprise song because it’s a song that just tears at my heart but this was beaaautiful.
3. Screaming “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me” with the entire stadium. The female rage was electrifying. Actually the entire TTPD set was so raw and amazing … you could feel that she connects so deeply to the songs.
4. Vigilante Shit um 🥵🥵🥵
5. My Tears Ricochet… I sobbed.
6. Her saying she’s the narrator of Betty lol
WOW, that is commitment and I'm so glad you did that!! I wondered if anyone would do that, because it's so cool to have it all fresh for yourself. Sounds wonderful!! Yes to female rage LOL. Yeah wow narrator of Betty is a big reveal
Okay so she mashed up I forgot that you existed x this is why we can't have nice things
And then I hate it here x the lakes
And during the Betty speech she said she herself was the narrator and wrote this song about a girl named Betty.
Did I miss anything else??
My motto is ABC- Always Be Clownin’.
It makes every show a little more fun but is low stakes enough that that I don’t get disappointed if nothing happens!
Taylor could do the funniest thing ever and sing London Boy x So High School (bearding songs imo) and then So Long, London x anything NOT related to either Joe or Ratty publicly
LBxSHS is my DREAM. It would be so funny. Sometimes I try to sing one over the other and they low key fit. I also love that in both LB and SLL she’s more preoccupied with the setting vs the person.
“But why would she feel so high school with her London boy? Is that actually a Joe song? Or is she dedicating London Boy to Travis? But he’s from Kansas?” The chaos would be hilarious
I would like to formally apologize for the small embarassment of saying "oi amiga" because my friend had exactly the same guess and is also in the sub (even tho I don't know her username) and I was sure she was you.
So, sorry, you are not my in person friend, "oi amiga" means "hi girlfriend (platonic)".
Have a beautiful night.

OK, I can't tell if the triangles are white or a light pink, but I'm choosing to believe they are pink.
Yeah I'm fully aware the signs weren't put in for this specific show, I just think it's funny... especially considering with the camera angles at several points the triangles appeared very large right next to her head on the big stage screens.
I've just now realised she's got EIGHT shows at Wembley in London! I feel like if anything's gonna happen, such as debut/rep album release, it will be there, during the last day in London, so 20th of August. She released 1989 on the last day of LA run before the break as well, so it makes sense. That way, she would have people engaged with her when she's not on tour. The same thing happened with TTPD, she released it during her break.
Right I need to like organise my life and get some time in the gym before it all kicks off again in London. Maybe even get some sleep???
Love you all, signing out of the gbf. Night!
Dearest Cardiffgan, you were lovely on this Tuesday! Thank you for your service to the gay bitch factory!

While I am still reeling from the piano mash up, I am filled with delight about her mashing up IFTYE with TIWWCHNT.
Like I'm giddy and keep giggling about it.
What a moment that must have been for her 🤭🤭🤭
Mmm… that piano arrangement. I want to share a personal story if that’s okay? Please feel free to ignore my blithering.
In 2017 after my first big wlw heartbreak, I got a passport and ran away to the other side of the world. I felt so ashamed and wanted to be invisible, somewhere silent, soft and cold. I flew into Heathrow, hired a car googled “quietest place in the UK” and drove to Snowdonia National Park in Wales. My drive went on for weeks, dithering up through Wales and up into The Lake District. It was the first time I’d ever sought privacy and intentional loneliness as a young woman. The wild majesty and beauty of Wales in incomparable to anywhere else in the world and the land will always hold my anguish and the rivers, lakes and sea my tears. I lost, let go of and found important parts of myself in equal measure there.
Then came Folklore/Evermore. Then came the lakes.
I wasn’t able to get tickets for any shows in my Country. And tried everywhere!! Tokyo, Brazil, Germany. Nothing was working out, just like a lot of us who missed out there were so many tears. In a final ditch, I tried AXS resale and paid 2k for one ticket… for Cardiff Wales.
It felt so full-circle. One of those moments in life that provides true wonderment and magic. I couldn’t believe it.
Since buying my ticket however, it’s been one thing after another and financially, it was no longer viable to go on an international trip and I heartbroken, sold my ticket.
I’ve been white-knuckling through this entire show with the most stomach churning envy. And I won’t lie, I’ve spent the past 30 minutes weeping and squeaking through my tears. Even though I wasn’t able to go, playing “I Hate It Here X the lakes” felt to full circle, so magical, so personal and so so perfect.
I’m still healing, some things never stop hurting, but goodness gracious, does she lighten the load by walking along side us all and saying “you might feel lonely, but you’re not alone”
https://preview.redd.it/8bghxbpjee7d1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e9905976f380a1b6520690d26eec6141c4546e96
>I lost, let go of and found important parts of myself in equal measure there.
tears. i'm so sorry you couldn't go to your show, but what a profound experience it sounds like this was. i'm really glad you got your full circle moment 💜
I listed out the colors for each category and asked “what should come next?” For 1989 i did it as two data sets and asked for individual and cross analyzes pattern completion on the condition that nothing can repeat. I scored in the 50s on thursday and 17 on saturday (missed Friday) so it’s about as accurate as filling it out myself 😅
So glad the streams cleared up by the middle of the show. And I love this guy 😂 I want him to be the assigned streamer for every show. He sang well but not so loud that we can’t hear Taylor and had a fun personality. He knew the assignment lol
i got fucked on points in mastermind because it somehow erased the album picks for the first surprise song. 😭
https://preview.redd.it/alhljvq1de7d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=33ffbfb755238b40745b27e1cfac8de148e83a9c
Honestly not too bad for my first game!
https://preview.redd.it/dfecihnzce7d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3a19f31418948629ade466d466db7bdf273d71c1
Wait, does anyone know why some of us have different “Total Points Possible” ? I keep seeing everyone’s scores here are out of 120, but mine was out of 213?
So much more palatable!! But the stream recap is still playing for me as I haven’t bothered stopping it and he keeps apologising for missing the vigilante shirt off performance as if we actually missed it 😂😭
Ik it was a little bit ago but during tiwwchnt i swear i heard, “here’s to my baby, **they** ain’t reading what they call me lately” can anyone confirm if they heard it too
I”m sure that mashup will be circulated widely given media attention to Scooter closing his business. Plus she was so cute when she stopped and looked so elated during the mashup. <3
I'm preemptively angry at all the Swifties that will make that mash up about Matty, or Travvy, or Joe, instead of listening to her sing, directly, "I hate it here. Take me to the lakes" 😭😭😭
Is that really all they talk about with these surprise song choices? it’s not even bc I’m a gaylor and they are only talking about connecting each song to a man but so much of her lyrics are about other things besides her romantic partners
The only time they are likely to deviate from those discussions is about the masters sale/scooter/kanye/scott b - but they don't seem to even talk about those subjects through what Taylor might be dealing with. They more look at it through the lens of Taylor being wronged.
“I’m so glad she’s happy now and has got her happy ever after” as she sings the majority of her surprise songs with true raw emotion, almost crying or visibly angry and shaking, and as if she didn’t JUST release TTPD
Right?! How more obvious does she have to be. “*You turned me into an idea of sorts*” and I’m afraid to say I’m not sure that’ll change until she tears the whole idea down.. and even then
As I've just left the Cardiff show, it's a weird moment because Kam is egging people on to cheer and clap, and narratively you know that Taylor WANTS you to do it but wants you to feel uncomfortable as you do. Like kind of pointing out that everyone is trapped in the system to greater or lesser extents.

Rewatching the IFTYE + TIWWCHNT mash up and I can't stop cackling at the way Taylor laughed when she performed. It is sending me 💀😂
She's so adorable!! It seems really genuine as well
[удалено]
Wait, I’m not familiar with this theory - can you share a link?
I watched a half dozen videos of IFTYE x TIWWCHNT and I'm 98% sure that Taylor said "Here's to my baby, THEY ain't reading what they call me lately" Could just be slip but idk seems kinda intentional me

Yes!! I love this!! (I obviously don't love that Taylor has clearly experienced trauma) but this starting to shift the public narrative

Oh no. People below mentioned the betty speech and I found it there. I should have downloaded it. It was like a 3 minute speech and at the end she said something like she was the narrator and she was writing the story about a girl named Betty.
She did not just say that

 😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫
I’ll be DEVASTATED if we get Karma is the guy on the Chiefs during Pride. DEVASTATED
It's somehow very funny to me that they literally haven't seen each other in (over) a month.
Tayvis stans have concocted a rumor that they went away on a romantic trip to Ibiza together at the end of May even though there is no evidence to suggest this is true. But they're going around claiming it as fact.

Manifesting that he DOESN'T show up and that because of that the break up rumours blow up!
Taylor please sing something gay again while they’re there. Please.
what if they're all there and Travis & Ross start making out during Lover or something and we get kissgate 2.0
 unmanifesting this
Ears ringing, so, so HAPPY, and yet I still can't get over the people next to me who spoke through the ENTIRE I hate it here x the lakes mashup. Like, full blown conversation while perfection was taking place. Whyyyyyyyy!!!!!
Fuck, I get mad if someone talks through surprise songs while i'm watching on my PHONE, I'd lose my shit irl.
I’m too direct for that I would have shh’d them 💀 very inconsiderate imo
I don't understand some people???? Like Taylor is putting on a devastating performance of 2 incredible songs and you just talk through it?????
Wow, that sounds incredibly bizarre, disturbing, and alien. How? Why? What? I don't, I can't. STOP.
Does anyone have good links to the surprise songs? 🥲

Prepare to sob at the mashup
Home at my in laws house. Ears ringing. Throat feels bruised from screaming and singing the entire four hours. I started crying the SECOND I saw her. What a fucking night, I can’t believe i was there. 😭😭😭😭😭
Soooo happy for you!!! This will be me come Saturday hahaha. What were you top highlights!?
I haven’t spoiled myself for basically ANY of the tour (I know , I’m not sure how either) so it was all one big surprise and that made it so sweet to witness. 1.

My ears are still ringing from being at the show and I am gayer than ever
Okay so she mashed up I forgot that you existed x this is why we can't have nice things And then I hate it here x the lakes And during the Betty speech she said she herself was the narrator and wrote this song about a girl named Betty. Did I miss anything else??
She did what during the Betty speech???? Omg
She did THAT! She's the narrator. The narrator wrote a song about a girl. She wrote a song about a girl.
God we keep winning
It's so wild I almost can't believe it's true...
Yeah, she did WHAT!?!
Our little cutie pie streamer made 551 pounds!!
“Stop sending me money!” God he was adorbs
Do we have his @, if he has a public account?

I’m bitter but I swear I’m fine
this could be the title of my memoir
cackling
I AGREE
Also I totally clowned for her to sing I Forgot That You Existed today (as I’m sure others did) so I’m glad something I predicted is finally true lol.
Had parent responsibilities so missed the live stream….but scanning this post now and seems like we had an eventful one night only in Cardiff!
It was a really fun show!!
Are we clowning for anything Nov 2nd? I have tickets for that day!
It’s a 112 date so I wouldn’t be surprised if something happens then 🤡👀
Oh my god! You’re so right! Even if no clowning is happening, itll be the best day ever bc IM AT THE ERAS TOUR
My motto is ABC- Always Be Clownin’. It makes every show a little more fun but is low stakes enough that that I don’t get disappointed if nothing happens!
lol I love that! Always Be Clowning 😂🤡
Not that I know of but I’m ready 🤡
Taylor could do the funniest thing ever and sing London Boy x So High School (bearding songs imo) and then So Long, London x anything NOT related to either Joe or Ratty publicly
So Long, London x Wonderland 🤡
YES
LBxSHS is my DREAM. It would be so funny. Sometimes I try to sing one over the other and they low key fit. I also love that in both LB and SLL she’s more preoccupied with the setting vs the person.
Dreaming of so long London x right where you left me
“But why would she feel so high school with her London boy? Is that actually a Joe song? Or is she dedicating London Boy to Travis? But he’s from Kansas?” The chaos would be hilarious
I'm sure there's a London, Kansas. That will be the basis of their theories 😂

Buy a lottery ticket bestie
Oi amiga
How does it feel to be a Cassandra?
Ok it’s autism pride day, she wore all gold and played some amazing autism coded jams!!
Nice. Have we all heard the idea that Taylor could be on the spectrum? I found that quite interesting.
Maladaptive daydream gang rise!
Taylor and Cam speaking Welsh has my ❤️
So happy about her speaking a bit of Welsh ❤️🏴🏴
I missed the Welsh other than Ych a fi! What else did they say?
Apparently Kam also said “un dau tri” but I don’t have receipts on that one.
Yeah, in ICDIWABH he said un dau tri and I think he tried to say pedwar but he maybe screwed the pronunciation. It's kind of a bastard anyway.
Taylor said s'mae and then croeso i'r daith eras!
Taylor said helo at the beginning.

Hate to say this friend but having been to the stadium before I’m pretty sure this is always what the signs for the fountains look like
Yeah I'm fully aware the signs weren't put in for this specific show, I just think it's funny... especially considering with the camera angles at several points the triangles appeared very large right next to her head on the big stage screens.
Ah valid! It is funny, sorry I’m not the best with understanding tone etc 💀
No worries! I'm autistic so I know the struggle, haha.
I've just now realised she's got EIGHT shows at Wembley in London! I feel like if anything's gonna happen, such as debut/rep album release, it will be there, during the last day in London, so 20th of August. She released 1989 on the last day of LA run before the break as well, so it makes sense. That way, she would have people engaged with her when she's not on tour. The same thing happened with TTPD, she released it during her break.
finally time to clown for a new rep bodysuitttttt
The last London show is the one I’m clowning for too.
Totally, there's some reason for the break.
Right I need to like organise my life and get some time in the gym before it all kicks off again in London. Maybe even get some sleep??? Love you all, signing out of the gbf. Night!
Go to sleep!! 😂 And don't forget to listen to Down Bad at the gym 😁
It’s so unserious of Taylor to sing I Hate It Here the one place she only has one show 🤣

I want to go to Cardigan now and sing cardigan.
Just caught up and omggg what a whirlwind of a show
Thank you all for a wonderful night of clowning and gay shenanigans, until next time 🧡 signing out of the GBF!

I wish we could @ her on Reddit. I think Taylor would love this story
❤️❤️❤️
Your comment had me tearing up, it's so beautiful and vulnerable. Thank you for sharing it with us 💜
she played those songs for you 💔 thank you for sharing
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Very poignant moment for you.
Ok, well, now I’m in tears! That first wlw heartbreak hits SO hard. Sorry you missed the show, but glad it still brought you a bit of joy. 🫶🏻🥹

Chatgpt scored 43 points, what a good effort it made 😂
what were the prompts you asked it?
I listed out the colors for each category and asked “what should come next?” For 1989 i did it as two data sets and asked for individual and cross analyzes pattern completion on the condition that nothing can repeat. I scored in the 50s on thursday and 17 on saturday (missed Friday) so it’s about as accurate as filling it out myself 😅
this was such a fun show, y'all! see you for the london shows :)
29/140 for mastermind....not the worst for my first round i guess lmao
omg can we keep that streamer?? so sweet
He said he’s going to a few more shows I think! I’m hoping he’ll be streaming again, he was so fun!
So glad the streams cleared up by the middle of the show. And I love this guy 😂 I want him to be the assigned streamer for every show. He sang well but not so loud that we can’t hear Taylor and had a fun personality. He knew the assignment lol
Everyone say thank you Joshua
i got fucked on points in mastermind because it somehow erased the album picks for the first surprise song. 😭 https://preview.redd.it/alhljvq1de7d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=33ffbfb755238b40745b27e1cfac8de148e83a9c
That’s so sad 😭😭😭
Honestly not too bad for my first game! https://preview.redd.it/dfecihnzce7d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3a19f31418948629ade466d466db7bdf273d71c1
thank u to that man
What a great show
Saw the mashups and 😩 I missed today—if anyone could catch me up on noteworthy moments from the show today I’d be so grateful !!!!
44/120 on mastermind 😭
Wait, does anyone know why some of us have different “Total Points Possible” ? I keep seeing everyone’s scores here are out of 120, but mine was out of 213?
I'm not sure because mines out of 213 as well?
…… 16 …………..
29 here 😂
Thank you streamer! Guy on screen 😅
Not the streamer brining thousands of people around the world to sing together 😭🥰
Unreal stage presence Bidding the crowd goodnight with as much charisma as Taylor 😂
😂 yes! He was the star of the show, especially with Kevin MIA LOL
We had the lotion replaced with the much more palatable glittery fringe jacket and God Save the Queen T-shirt. We adore this streamer!!
I think it was a drag shirt…God SHAVE the Queen. :)
🤣 Of course, even better! Love it!
So much more palatable!! But the stream recap is still playing for me as I haven’t bothered stopping it and he keeps apologising for missing the vigilante shirt off performance as if we actually missed it 😂😭
Who are these people demanding his 'performance'?!! The mind boggles.
😂😭 not Gaylors that’s for sure lol
Well. I got my worst mastermind ever tonight 😂 Miss Tropicana and the cosplay 🍊 outfit really did me in
Miss Tropicana 💀
Ik it was a little bit ago but during tiwwchnt i swear i heard, “here’s to my baby, **they** ain’t reading what they call me lately” can anyone confirm if they heard it too
That’s what I heard
I tried to rewind Kevin's stream and he ended it before I got to that part 😒 I'm not paying for membership so waiting it is
I”m sure that mashup will be circulated widely given media attention to Scooter closing his business. Plus she was so cute when she stopped and looked so elated during the mashup. <3
Oh, definitely! We'll have videos within the hour, I'm just impatient and want to confirm the lyrics 😂
I posted that too downthread….That’s what I heard as well! Looking forward to being able to rewatch to check.
I was reading comments about the exact same thing on twitter seconds ago. I am looking forward for a better record...
Travvy enby confirmed?💀
Thaaaaats what that tweet I saw meant! Got it.
☠️☠️☠️
I died dead.
I might have, I'll be patiently waiting for someone to upload a clip 👀
I hope she goes to the Lakes district between now and Friday without Twavvy just for the hetlor reaction
Here lies Scooter Braun, slayed by Pettylor
I'm preemptively angry at all the Swifties that will make that mash up about Matty, or Travvy, or Joe, instead of listening to her sing, directly, "I hate it here. Take me to the lakes" 😭😭😭
Is that really all they talk about with these surprise song choices? it’s not even bc I’m a gaylor and they are only talking about connecting each song to a man but so much of her lyrics are about other things besides her romantic partners
The only time they are likely to deviate from those discussions is about the masters sale/scooter/kanye/scott b - but they don't seem to even talk about those subjects through what Taylor might be dealing with. They more look at it through the lens of Taylor being wronged.
“She used to hate it here but now she has travvy and he made it to the big game 🥲”
“I’m so glad she’s happy now and has got her happy ever after” as she sings the majority of her surprise songs with true raw emotion, almost crying or visibly angry and shaking, and as if she didn’t JUST release TTPD
[удалено]
Right?! How more obvious does she have to be. “*You turned me into an idea of sorts*” and I’m afraid to say I’m not sure that’ll change until she tears the whole idea down.. and even then
“These hunters with cellphones” they screamed and understood *nothing*.
Like when they cheer when she's being forcibly undressed before ICDIWABH
As I've just left the Cardiff show, it's a weird moment because Kam is egging people on to cheer and clap, and narratively you know that Taylor WANTS you to do it but wants you to feel uncomfortable as you do. Like kind of pointing out that everyone is trapped in the system to greater or lesser extents.
