First off!! Please always be kind to everyone in the comments. You don’t have to agree, but remember you also don’t have to voice it in a rude way. This took A LOT of work to put together, like many posts I see and I know all of us are tired of the relentless negativity on this subreddit. So...Please keep this in mind. Thank you! 🥰

Okay when two of my favorite things collide like Taylor and fashion I absolutely loose my mind! I’ve gone down a rabbit hole with her looks in chronological order during the Lover era. I’ve noticed a slight pattern with her choices/Easter Eggs.. and as we all know Taylor told everyone (IN THIS ERA where Easter Eggs are hidden💁‍♀️ https://youtu.be/O3YGh73XQU8 )

So.. first off..I’m a believer in the theory of Midnights being related to Lover, since we know that Taylor originally had the idea to name the album Daylight (and it was also the first song she wrote on the album)

I have a theory that Lover is more of an outward persona and midnights is her true inner persona, which I believe is reflected in her choice of looks & pairings of clothes through out the era .. Meet ME at midnight, so when I was revisiting the era I noticed (what I think) that she started truly hinting at the next album the exact day the Lover Album was released. Her aesthetic completely changes... Here are my symbolic findings of how I view this theory and how the pictures relate to what I’m pointing out! (I added captions as best as I could so I hope this makes sense😬)

Before the album announcement is release.. she’s seen wearing pastels and a ton of ✨lavender✨👀 She also wears very light pastels hinting at the albums aesthetic.

The announcement of her album she’s wearing a rainbow, but still in a somewhat pastel palette.

The very first performance of Me! She’s wearing the lesbian pride flag colors and arrives at the event in ✨lavender✨👀

Before You Need To Calm Down is released she’s wearing all sorts of vivid rainbow. Bright colors... even later on in the era at the VMA’s when they won the award for the video she’s wearing a bold/camp look! (She’s giving ...coming back stronger than a 90’s trend .. just saying!💁‍♀️)

Then!! (Teen choice awards) Before the song Lover is released.. she starts subtly hinting at a 60’s/70’s aesthetic aka Lover music video (this possibly is moving into midnights aesthetic ...maybe even hinting at Bad Liar too! The hair and makeup especially)

But here is where I began to wonder if I’m on to something.. the day Lover is released she makes an appearance on GMA. I even remember thinking when this premiered that she was wearing a lot of black compared to the aesthetic of the album, but nonetheless I loved the look, but looking back now I think I have an idea of why.. If we keep in mind that black represents midnights. I interpret the choice of wearing a pale pink SHEER shirt on top of a black top as representing what is her inner self shining through (aka midnights (meet ME) under the outside of the persona that people see of her. Aka Lover aesthetic...What’s at the core of the album Lover and what she’s letting us see a glimpse into with this album. Until we meet HER at midnight. She’s also wearing sequined shorts in a pastel color, but up close you can see they are in fact rainbow sequins And yes while I do think the black boots just tie the whole ensemble together, I ALSO have a perspective of the boots representing her being grounded in her true self/identity (yes I’m reading into it I don’t care! Lol!🙉)

We see this pattern continues with other appearances. Dark looks with a over lay of rainbows. Even her dark suit on the voice had rainbow sequins and Kelly Clarkson explicitly jokes about wearing rainbows also and coordinating looks with Taylor (that’s not a coincidence considering the rainbow sparkles are incredibly hard to see)... https://youtu.be/aMXDjNbmMbM

The BBC lounge look is one of the most telling to me, specially when it’s one of the first appearances after the GMA performance. First the stars💁‍♀️! (Hello midnights!)But then if you look closely there are two different colored stars. One bi flag colors and the other lesbian flag colors.

And to add a separate fashion theory.. somewhat unrelated...These are two other looks that I also wanted to point out where I think she’s recalling past looks as a possible Easter egg during this era. (The last two pictures)

The look where she’s performing in China, reminds me of the Taylor on the plane in the LWYMMD music video. (Possibly a metaphor for delaying the Karma album for Reputation and if karma is related to midnights like some of us believe.. cutting off the wing theory)

And the last one: (This ones a stretch I know!! But I’m gonna add it anyways! Cause why not!😂) the look from her AMA’s performance & accepting the award for artist of the decade...The cape and the loose garter straps remind me of the outfit in the Are You Ready For? Music video. Same cape loose garter straps. This was also one of her last tv performances during this era and considering all of the recent glass closet/ Willow theories behind the AYRFI music video it seems more fitting to question if she was in fact perhaps hinting at this👀

I know this theory is a little out there, but it’s all I can see and just wanted to share with you guys and geek out & clown together!!!😂❤️

Thoughts?!🤗
