the thing about haylor is i dont want them together i dont think they were the pinnacle of a perfect relationship i just find their dynamic and the way they write about each other SO ENDLESSLY INTERESTING. like i am a fan of the art of haylorism not shipping these two humans together as actual end game. does this make sense?
Everything you said regarding haylor is right. This is why I have a pet peeve when people use MR to haylor edits. If anything they were both midnight rain and that's what drew them closer. They were constantly looking for light in other people to balance the darkness. Their relationship itself and the parallels between them as individuals is what makes us still talk about them. Not because we think they are meant to be. Harry and Taylor fandom has the biggest crossover of fans because there is an undeniable/unintentional mirroring that fans are unintentionally drawn to. I lost the count regarding the number of people who compared HsH and 1989 era and overexposure(though T had it worse because of misogyny). There is an unintentional parallelism in their music even when the songs have nothing to do with each other. They are the BIGGEST male and female pop artist RN and through their music we know they struggle with similar issues (listening to AIW and Dear Reader back to back is one hell of an experience. ) Which is why they need partners who can give them stability and comfort. T knew it after 1989 era and found it. And considering the way HsH era has gone I won't be surprised if harry came to a similar understanding. (And I hope he finds it someday). Like you said they were meant to meet because without these dead end streets Taylor wouldn't have met joe.
people have used "he was sunshine/i was midnight rain" for...harry...??? "chasing that fame, he stayed the same"????? how
i love what you said about them both being midnight rain, they really are - and this JUST made me connect ttds/midnight rain to changes, the song harry gave to cam. "there is a town, somewhere down a country road/I see it now, I take it everywhere I go/the river sways, I can almost hear it now/as if to say, "You're not the only one who wants a way out"/so, I go 'cause I don't wanna feel like I don't know you anymore/I memorize those roads.../God bless the young hearts sippin' cheap wine/Gettin' drunk with their friends for the first time/Thinkin' nothing's gonna change/'Til everything changes/They never leave/They're all havin' babies now/Watchin' daytime TV/Livin' off the gossip of a cruel small town/So, I go/'Cause I don't wanna feel like you don't know me anymore/Don't recognize my face," and that's very connected to love of my life too: "take you with me every time i go away, in a hotel usin' someone else's name.../i don't know you half as well as all my friends, i can't pretend i won't be doin' everything i can, to get to know your creases and your ends, are they the same?" it's: the road not taken looks real good now, and it always leads to you and my hometown. and it's: i guess sometimes we all get just what we wanted, and he never thinks of me, except when i'm on tv. they are the midnight rain, the one dreaming to get out, escaping, and finding themselves haunted. "we're just two ghosts standing in the place of you and me..."
They were constantly looking for light in other people to balance the darkness. this is very interesting in them too, because they're often perceived as light/bubbly/upbeat people (and they both do have that sparkle and those bright aspects!), but then we know from the songs they've written and things they've shared that they grapple with their darkness and loneliness too.
Their relationship itself and the parallels between them as individuals is what makes us still talk about them. Not because we think they are meant to be. Harry and Taylor fandom has the biggest crossover of fans because there is an undeniable/unintentional mirroring that fans are unintentionally drawn to...There is an unintentional parallelism in their music even when the songs have nothing to do with each other. exactly! the reason why many fans love them both and connect in similar ways to their music is because that mirrored expression and empathy and artistry draws us in! there are themes and emotions they both express that we connect to. the expressionism in how they craft their lyrics and how they present their art strikes something in us.
listening to AIW and Dear Reader back to back is one hell of an experience. oh nooo, i've never done this! you're no good alone /// a house, not a home, all alone 'cause nobody's there /// why are you sitting at home on the floor, what kind of pills are you on? /// my fourth drink in my hand, these desperate prayers of a cursed man...ouch đ
yes, they need that groundedness and quiet and comfort to balance everything else out. the person who only wants sweet nothing. without all of the exes, fights, and flaws, we wouldn't be standing here so tall. all of the dead end streets led you straight to me, out of all the wrong arms right into that dive bar...and i think that makes so much sense, that you need someone constant and who gives you a sense of peace and freedom and completion to be your whole self, and who loves you in the best and the worst of it. the person who loves you for you, in the noise and the silence.
they are so similar i canât..
Taylor meeting the parents (the moms especially) this early on, will never not be funny to me. Blondie is out there interacting with them as if they've known each other for years lol. I kind of feel bad for them cause they also get to feel the blow of the breakup alongside their sons. Tay is a daughter-in-law material and no doubt she charms them too, leaving a long lasting effect. She's the kind of ex that the moms continue asking about years after the breakup has happened.
Oh Anon - you are spot on! She is a parent charmer for sure. And we can just imagine the âHow could you let her get awaaaay?!?â conversations some of these mothers are forced to have with their broken-hearted sons as Blondie zooms away in the Getaway Car?
While weâre on the subject of notorious parent charmers? Harry Edward Styles. Look at his interactions with the senior Cordens, see how Ben Winston talks about his time with the senior Winstons, see the charm on display as H sweetly asks after then greets Hillary Whitehall in front of a panicked Jack at the 2020 Brits. Or listen to that HAIM interview I reposted the other day. Not only is he friends with the girls, he is friends with their DAD whose drumming heâd admired for years.
Theyâre considerate and kind, and enthusiastic supporters of these parentsâ beloved children. No wonder parents are big fans.
Thanks so much for this ask!
Idk if anyoneâs brought this up yet but I am bowled over by
âYou search the world for something else to make you feel like what we hadâ -> âyou search in every models bed for something greaterâ
-> âdoes it feel like everythingâs just like second-best after that meteor strike? and whatâs that, that i heard, that youâre still with her, thatâs nice, iâm sure thatâs whatâs suitableâŚ.â

I think you guys are going to enjoy this reading on Taylorâs future spouse from today. Here are my highlights:
Sheâll be married in less that three years (sheâll be married before sheâs 38). Itâll be around the winter or fall season.
She knows this person already, itâs one of her exes.
He makes her happy and they laugh a lot together.
Theyâre very similar people and have known each other for lifetimes.
Heâs got an outgoing persona.
They could be a confrontational person (perhaps contrarian?)
In Taylorâs head she knows it always come back around to this person.
He is giving a lot of Aquarius energy.
Their connection is very strong.
Theyâre not very far off in age.
Random: he likes spaghetti (lol) and also very out of the norm foods.
They have very strong sexual tension.
Reader doesnât think this person is American.
The relationship may be hidden for quite some time.
The number 7 is quite important.
He has dark hair and slightly tan skin.
Heâs in the music industry.
They could be twin flames. Reader is âvery muchâ getting that energy.
They have a very âwill they wonât theyâ energy (like Ross and Rachel!)
They failed in the past but they wonât let each other go again. They want to get it right this time.
They have lived similar experiences and have a mutual understanding of each other.
Reader says their energy reminds her of âCowboy Like Meâ in that theyâre both good at playing the game in their industry and theyâve both got âtricks up their sleeves.â
Theyâve been wanting this for a long time but circumstances and miscommunication and timing have gotten in the way
They want to create together, maybe music
This relationship is very powerful and different from Taylorâs othersâit consumes her. Heâs always been in her heart.
Public reaction will be split, with some being very supportive and some being haters (not surprising). It wonât be a surprise, though, because theyâve been together in the past.
They always find their way back to each other.
They will be unstoppable together.
Theyâll have kids. Maybe two or three.
Theyâll feel very free to be themselves with each other.
They will continue to be passionate and challenge each other. Being together completes them.
From Taylorâs old Instagram feed.
i need 1989 vault tracks to give them the push to finally DO SOMETHING
IIRC didn't some tarot readings say that Haylor would get back in September? It's the middle of September already and they seem to have no contact at all and they are hanging out with other people. Is there a new Tarot prediction for when they will reconnect?
Also, the iamnearlyhome and eroda lighthouse accounts have stopped tweeting for some time now. Do you think this is because HS and TR are serious now and HS has taken a break from daydreaming about reuniting with TS?
They said Virgo season which is aug 23-sept 22. Right before this is when HS disappeared for 12 days. We donât know if theyâre in contact or not. I choose to believe they are. I donât think things are serious with TR.
thereâs just no possible way that end game is about joe lmao.. not ONE of those lyrics scream joe and itâs actually insane to think so many swifties just brushed it off because they didnât take haylor seriously as a couple. and they still kinda donât because theyâre making jokes now about how taylor can âfinallyâ sing end game and the lyrics actually fitting because sheâs with travis đ
While weâre at it, âReady For Itâ is so blatantly about Harry. At this point I think a lot of Swifties turn a blind eye to the lyrics because deep down they know itâs not about Joe.
Same anon on Travis Kelce ask. I think what most haylors fail to accept is that Harry has been saying no to Taylor since 2020. The Daylight mv is a good proof. It's about & for Taylor but Harry saying, "If I was a bluebird..." But he is not. He's been yelling at her, so to speak on that megaphone, but she just won't listen. And haylors aren't listening too. I think it's best to help Taylor out as you just did on your answer but not push the Haylor narrative anymore. I just think that's more helpful to blondie.
Should I feel conflicted about calling you âTravis Kelce askâ anon, lol? Thank you for replying.
I donât agree with the view that âHarry has been saying no to Taylor since 2020â. No about what? I donât think he would ever be willing to again be part of a banquet of boys with whom she hooks up (no more JALBOYL or Foolâs Gold stuff). So yeah, much firmer boundaries. (If I am being honest, my guess is his unwillingness to do so might have set the stage for Mayâs MH three weeks of yuck.)
But what I am documenting is the ways they seem to still be communicating, sending messages to each other, whatever the messages might be since their meaning is not fully clear to us fans. I wouldnât classify that as âpushing the Haylor narrativeâ. These things are actually happening. I am citing sources and using data, and I am saying itâs spec when it is.
And the Daylight MV is an example, but I disagree with your argument about the Bluebird. I think that reference ties to this poem by Harryâs beloved Bukowski, and itâs a heartbreaker.
The bluebird? Is the vulnerability and softness he feels he can only let out (at night) sometimes (so it doesnât die) and if he could share it? It would be with *her*.
And look at this timeline I outlined:
He filmed a whole video packed with messages for her on May 10/11, 2022 after weeks (or even months) of planning.
Then SIX DAYS LATER he films a decoy video.
Then he sits on the other Haylor-coded one for nearly FIFTEEN MONTHS. He could have never released it; he has done that before. But he chose to, on July 19, 2023. Why would he do that?
And the Satellite MV. He could have let us wonder who the song was about. But after the May 3rd video release: no more doubt. Blondie. And it was entirely developed after she dropped Question�
And I do not have firm answers. I am just archiving what is happening.
Itâs the same thing with his set list changes. Why add Stockholm Syndrome?
Why drop LOML and add Fine Line?
And her! Why did she make the it so clear that QuestionâŚ? was about him? Why did she have it on the album at all, holy sh*t. Itâs not fair to ask that Blondie, especially since you already know the answers!
Why did she approach him and touch him in public at the Grammys, twice?
Why did she play QuestionâŚ?, a song that âbrings me a lot of happy memoriesâ on May 20th?
These are just some of the very obvious ways they are sending messages. And I donât have definitive answers. I am noting what I see.
Do we think itâs somewhat rude Harry wasnât there for the release in LA? Or no? Not rude.. but maybe just solidifies they arenât in communication. I thought he would at least show up for her as a friend
I cannot stress enough: I think his absence and commitment elsewhere was a STRATEGIC DECISION.
Blondie has 3 exes who are not awful and with whom we have proof she interacts. All of whom have one (or more) songs on particular albums/behaviour in particular eras for which they are know: Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner, and Harry Styles.
NONE were involved in release announcements. But when they albums came out?!?
In the depth of the pandemic, Sophie and Joe got in on the action supporting Blondieâs Fearless TV release:
And we just saw Taylor Lautnerâs triumphant moments in July for SN:
And her interactions with Harry? Stratospheric interest. No one talks about anything else.
This?
And this?
Controlled the news cycle for 2 days only 6 months ago, more than his AOTY won and RedTV finally getting a Grammy. Tree had to put out a press release about their long-standing, peaceful friendship (maybe bc a certain YB threw a tantrum?)
And not supportive or not in contact? Disagree. Here is what he wore in Frankfurt in his concert hours before SN dropped:
The entire lighting scheme, the band accessories - all purple. He wore purple tones the concerts before and after too.
Last night was a TRIUMPH for Blondie. Final night of an unprecedentedly successful US tour celebrating her entire career, featuring stolen music she is reclaiming. Continued dominance on the charts and in international and domestic concert ticket sales.
And now - she gets to reclaim her first iconic album, the one that changed everything for her. The one that contains almost exclusively and still routinely chartsâŚsongs we all know are about Harry Styles. Style is *currently* her 4th or 5th highest charting single NINE YEARS after the album came out.
After the year sheâs had, do you think she wanted to risk last night being overshadowed by a man?
And Harry Styles has ALWAYS stood back to let her shine, praising her and supporting her in big and small ways. He has NEVER said anything even remotely bad about her publicly, while she has *never publicly said his name aloud*.
The is exactly ZERO chance that Harry does not get pulled into this dialogue in the coming months.
Letâs sit back and watch it play out. Being a Haylor involved a lot of patience; letâs flex that muscle now.
Sheâs also pointing out that the girls heâs publicly sleeping with all look very much like her â sheâs not shaming him for sleeping with people, sheâs getting irritated because it feels like heâs trying to replace her when he could just come back to her and save himself the trouble. The point isnât âyouâre a bad person because you sleep with a lot of people,â itâs âyou are sleeping with everybody remotely resembling me and rubbing my face in it and Iâm frustratedâ
YEAH!!!! and with the added layer of âand as you do all this, i am the one who is getting heat for it.â why shouldnât she be allowed to say that? itâs her own experience! itâs her own relationship with intimacy and sexuality and love and coming of eye in the public age!
