March 7 - Taylor and Joe go hiking. Joe is wearing dark jeans and Nikes, which fans and media recognize as promo for the “Delicate” song. (Link)
March 11 - “Delicate” music video is released at the iHeart Radio Awards. (Link to video). For analysis of the likely Tily references in the video - see here.
Taylor straddles a Cadillac Fleetwood in the video. Autostraddle is a website for lesbian, bisexual, and queer women. Lily is related to Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac and is often backstage at their concerts.
Taylor walks past “Joe’s” Deli to go into another bar.
Let’s look at the “Delicate” lyrics tosee who the song is about:
“Dive bar on the East Side, where you at?”
This harkens back to the October 2016 nights at the East Village dive bars near Lily’s apartment - Lovers of Today and Cabin Down Below. For more info - see here.
“Dark jeans and your Nikes, look at you”
While not always Nikes, Lily is frequently seen wearing dark jeans/pants and dark sneakers.
“Oh damn, never seen that color blue”
Lily’s ocean blue eyes and great blue outfits speak for themselves.
“Third floor on the West Side, me and you”
Taylor’s Cornelia Street pad, which she was renting in 2016 when Tily became a thing, is a three-story townhouse on the West Side. For more info about Tily’s time at the Cornelia Street townhouse - see here.
“Do the girls back home touch you like I do?”
This line implies that the subject of “Delicate” is not from the same place as Taylor. As we know, Lily is British. She has a friend group of other British and European women, several of whom are queer.
April 13 - Taylor releases cover of Earth Wind & Fire’s “September” on Spotify. For analysis, see link. Taylor also released an acoustic version of “Delicate” as a Spotify Single on the same day.
lucky charms and cheerios continue to make children and adults sick, the cause is still under investigation, and no recall has been issued. terrifying. that means it is almost definitely not one of the common causes like salmonella…
daily harvest said tara flour made customers sick. FDA is mad they announced that because the exact cause has still not been found. daily harvest products have given people liver damage so bad they needed to have their gallbladders removed. while the current FDA investigation only involves the leek + lentil crumbles, there are many reports of other daily harvest foods like the flatbreads also harming people. if you have been affected by daily harvest’s bullshit, there is now a subreddit for it.
