[@jazzbina]

being so early to a breakdown of taylor swift conspiracy theories is the most swiftie thing my non-swiftie ass did

[@uncarley]

so true

[@fynnsternis6432]

oh i'm dumb i thought the harry styles snowmobile thing was still part of gaylor and was waiting for the reveal how mr styles committing vehicular manslaughter was proof that taylor swift is gay 😭

[@Chronicallywitty]

This could be true, next theory everyone need to push 😂

[@janekatevandyke4355]

gimmie ten bucks at 20 minutes, i could make the connection

[@MarbleSodaPop]

I made a connection of how those theories could be part of each other Okay, so if Taylor Swift is gay, then her relationship with Harry Styles was fake, likely to cover up the fact that he committed manslaughter. And if the cover story is a very early "date" that would prove that it started for the cover-up. Another big part of the Gaylor theory is that she is revealing it through her music, so part of that would be revealing that her relationship with Harry was fake and showing that it was only to cover up the fact he accidentally killed people. That's how Harry Styles committing vehicular manslaughter would prove Taylor Swift is gay, which is not something I thought I would ever write, especially since I don't listen to Taylor Swift lol

[@katieveggie11]

webbed feet is so good because she can never prove it wrong without letting the dogs out for free

[@xxleah_haydenxx]

she has got the dogs out for free plenty of times already, thats what makes the webbed feet joke even funnier 😭😭😭

[@TheChristianna321]

The traveling in a box thing is the most realistic one to me. I think it's been confirmed that she travels to stage at the eras tour in a Janitor's cart, so this doesn't feel like a stretch. It is a very small box though.

[@silentpartner9957]

[@mistycreek4584]

I wasn’t there when it started, but when I joined it was basically two rules. Fvck JKR and AtYD is our canon. Marauders are some of the best people I’ve met online at this point, and I’ve met some of my closest friends from it

[@pietrofacchi3325]

"tethering on the edge of mental collapse" really does not sound like the prime/ideal state of mind to dive into taylor's lore if you ask me but this makes this whole video quite admirable really
