Summation of Opalite and Peek into the Future of Taylor Swift [Opalite 7]

 Here’s what I’m getting at with all these colors in the ME! Video. Look at the sky! It’s OPALITE.

You see the rainbows in both, right?

Put it allllll together.

From 1+1=2: The Phoenix is always reinventing herself . A love so important it’s like life itself. It emphasizes TWO in love. Give everything with their SOUL. TWO merge into ONE soul. 

All versions/personas/parts of Taylor merge into ONE soul (at album 13?)

I thought my house was haunted

I used to live with ghosts

Ghost is the baggage of being “other”

She bearded to cover up her true selves. Sacrificed her actual relationships for fame and because the industry demands it.

In Opalite, she says she was wrong to feel haunted by her queerness. Maybe she regrets all the posing.

Taylor had given hints before and they were ignored (lyrics to Welcome to New York, New Romantics, Out of the Woods, Wonderland, etc, etc). Taylor wrote a very direct song about a woman, This is What You Came for--lightning strikes.

Because of the men that masqueraded, the sapphic relationships she never made her centerfold, people can’t SEE the true her.

Taylor made some (indirect, but clear) steps toward coming out in the lover era. The Me! Video, the YNTCD video with so many LGBTQ artists supporting her, the surprise Stonewall performance, but had to abandon saying the words because at the end of that pride month, prior to the big pride parade with that rainbow dress her masters were sold. 

Taylor had to pivot when her masters were sold to a hater.

She always wanted to own her masters free and clear. Coming out would be controversial to some. She would lose fans, lose the ability to tour in conservative, authoritarian countries. In order to buy back her masters, Taylor needed the MOST fans. She had to be the most palatable. She had to set up the biggest tour the world has ever seen in order to get that money for her masters. 

Therefore, she had to ‘keep it 100’ and double-down on the bearding and being ‘the straightest woman alive’ to pull off the masters re-records and historic Eras tour to make as much money as possible. She had to remain silent about the foiled coming out of Lover.

Instead of celebration, there was backlash to Taylor Swift’s coming out (ME! Out now, “...gay pride, everything that makes me, me.” and YNTCD music video). People could not see Taylor Swift, ‘the straightest woman alive’ as queer. Just like Taylor portrays in the Delicate music video.

And that broke Taylor’s heart. She was in a depression the latter part of the Lover Era, folklore, evermore, Midnights, TTPD… 

And in The Life of a Showgirl, album #12, after we’ve met big Taylor, poet Taylor, and finally Showgirl Taylor.

Multiple perspectives of Taylor each get an album:

Failure brings you freedom seems like an important line. Failure to actually come out? Failure of originally getting her masters? Failure of a relationship ?

After all that depression, she sings this song, Opalite.

Let’s remember what opalite represents symbolically (straight from our resource in the above text):

It’s soothing and mood-enhancing, kinda like a mother consoling and offering advice to a daughter. Opalite is known to reduce grief and calm anxious thoughts, bringing tranquility, optimism and perspective. As healer of the third eye chakra, Opalite helps gain higher understanding of the universe and your place in it-clarity. Fresh starts. A CLEAR SKY. 

Back around comes the Midnight’s liner notes:

We lie awake in love and in fear and in turmoil and in tears. We stare at walls and drink until they speak back. We twist in our self-made cages and pray that we aren't — right this minute — about to make some fateful life-altering mistake. This is a collection of music written in the middle of the night, a journey through terrors and sweet dreams. The floors we pace and the demons we face. For all of us who have tossed and turned and decided to keep the lanterns lit and go searching. Hoping that just maybe, when the clock strikes twelve...we'll meet ourselves.

See you there. Midnight sharp.

We have now met the 3 Taylors from the Anti-Hero music video. The third album of that series, TLOAS, released at 12:12 AM, introduced the third and final perspective. 

Sleepless in the onyx night

But now the sky is opalite

What does that mean for album #13, which I guessed would be lavender in color???

The storm freed the lightning from the opals, and the stones became RAINBOW.

Oh oh oh oh oh
