Sophie's Hon Vol. IV Paris Fashion Week Edition

Welcome back to this series in time for the lovebirds' return to Paris, the City of Love, the same the city where we saw them kiss for the first time.

A lot of their most romantic pics yet and some sexy stuff under the cut!

WINE ME, DINE ME, SIXTY NINE ME . . . .

The first sight of Sophie and Perry in Paris was on Sunday, March 3th, while they were leaving Le Bristol Hotel to attend a especial dinner:

Here we can see Sophie with Danielle Haim and Jamie Mizrahi at FRAME Paris Fashion Week Dinner, held at Caviar Kaspia Restaurant:

On their return to their hotel, Sophie was pictured very happy and relaxed and holding Perry's black jumper:

I guess Sophie was looking at Perry in these pictures, he seems to make her laugh and smile a lot 😊

Now, we don't know when the lovebirds arrived in Paris, but while these pictures were appearing on the internet, I was alerted by anon message that Sophie had created a playlist with a very particular name just the day before (Saturday, March 2th) . . . . 👀 🙈 🤭

Here some songs that stand out:

These lips can't wait to taste your skin, baby, no, no And these eyes, yeah, can't wait to see your grin, ooh, ooh, baby Just let my love Just let my love adorn you Please baby, yeah —Adorn by Miguel

Oh lá lá . . . . 💋

Whispered something in your ear It was a perverted thing to say But I said it anyway Made you smile and look away Nothing's gonna hurt you, baby As long as you're with me, you'll be just fine Nothing's gonna hurt you, baby Nothing's gonna take you from my side —Nothing's gonna hurt you Baby by Cigarettes After Sex

I guess Paris brings out passion in lovers . . . . 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

~~~

YOUR CLOTHES LOOK BETTER ON ME . . . .

The next day, Monday, March 4th, Sophie and Perry went to the Louis Vuitton Paris La Samaritaine store, probably for Sophie's outfit fitting for the next day show:

On their return to their hotel, they went on a very romantic stroll through the City of Love, holding hands, walking by le Pont des Arts, sitting on benches to exchange clothes, and being the most affectioned with each other . . . .

Oh my heart . . . . Why are they so cute and sweet and lovely???

OK, so when they actually arrive to their hotel, Sophie was wearing Perry's green jacket that looks so big on her, and I love it!

I know, Sophie, I know . . . . It's so nice to smell the scent of the person we love on us . . . .

Oh, to be young and in love . . . . in Paris 💕

~~~

GIRAFE & COSTES

During the night of Monday, March 4th, Sophie and Perry were seen at Girafe restaurant, and later at Costes restaurant.

There are several videos of Sophie being so nice and sweet with her fans waiting for her at her hotel door and at those restaurants doors. She took pictures and videos and sent greetings for a lot of lucky fans. You can watch it here & here.

In those videos you can see that Perry's friend, Rupert Gorst, joined them that night. He is the same friend that travelled with them to ski in Meribel.

In those videos you can also see that Sophie left Costes restaurant with a Glowery bag. Glowery is a brand founded by Alexandra Kolasinski (a long time friend of Sophie's ex husband), so Sophie probably met with her at Costes. I'm mentioning this just to reiterate that the "cheating allegations" are a made up narrative.

OK, let's see the pictures!

Leaving Girafe:

Loving the way Perry is holding Sophie's hand in these pictures . . . .

Leaving Costes:

Lol at Rupert waving his hand to the paps in the back 😂

Here's another video of them leaving Costes, via Backdrid with Game of Thrones theme lol

I like how Perry is the last to leave, several steps behind her and Rupert and he opted to read his phone to avoid the paps pictures . . . . Also, how lovely and polite Sophie is with fans and paps!

Now to the main event!

MAXIM'S

After the Show, Sophie and Perry were seen leaving Maxim's restaurant where Louis Vuitton held an after party:

During the after party, Sophie was seen next to singer Felix from Stray Kids and Nicolas Ghesquiere, while listening to singer Zaho de Sagazan performing her song La symphonie des éclairs on the piano.

Rupert Gorst joined Sophie and Perry for the after party as well. They sure had a blast.

my thoughts on side order so far (after doing the tutorial run)

panicked a little at the beginning when it asked me to design 8 because i thought it was just going to pull it from splatoon 2 and then ask if i wanted to change any of it, not go through each step like i didn't already have existing agent 8 data. suspended it and looked on youtube to see if it did do something differently (trying to stick to people that probably played splatoon 2) (and covering the sidebar with my hand because i KNOW there's at least one "side order all bosses" thumbnail in there. i'm looking at you prosafiagaming. wait no i mean i'm NOT looking at you)

eventually i decided that they must not be pulling that data for some reason, since everyone i saw starting it had the same customization experience (though i noticed different options were highlighted by default for different people? and mine didn't 100% match up with my s2 agent 8 but it was close)

anyway uh. as far as the actual game. seems like it'll be fun. i do still have splatoon 1 nagging at me until i finish my business before it shuts down though (just 18 wins to S+ 99... and then 3 battles with each of the other 90 weapons i haven't used in 7-8 years, or ever)

found it interesting that they kept pearl's last name as houzuki. like... they only localized half of her name? calling her pearl houzuki all these years made sense because she didn't have a canon english name but um. i guess that's it now? (i won't argue with not leaving her first name alone because probably too many people would pronounce hime as "haim" or something)

this is almost like when octo expansion just casually dropped that actually the localization didn't change marina's name, the japanese version just uses her last name and english uses her first

Then Because She Goes

You are mine, I’ve been drowning in you

★ Chapter 1 of 15, 4283 words

★ Matty Healy x Original Female Character

★ warnings: none

— 17 April, 2018

The wheels on the metal cart Este struggled to push were in dire need of some grease. She winced at the loud squeaking noise it made, as her shoulders jumped up to soften the blow to her ears. It was decades old, the shop’s equipment, so Este was used to it. Bubbles emerged underneath the orange carpet as it bunched up and refused to let the heavy product across the store.

Nietzsche, Seneca, and Aurelius were just a few of the dozens of surnames sitting before her already drooping eyes, waiting patiently to return to the philosophy section on the quiet Tuesday morning. A seven-in-the-morning start time was odd for Este, as she had grown accustomed to coming in past midday and closing up the shop in the evening. But, the night before, her boss rang her and begged her to come in bright and early; since he’d forgotten that his daughter's piano performance was a matinee. He promised to cover the evening for her instead.

Samuel, her boss, was the forty-something year old owner of Greenhouse Books who usually covered mornings. He only hired the once teenage Este in attempts to save the live plants scattered across his store, since he was horrible at caring for them himself, and customers started to complain. But almost eight years later, she loved nothing more than the musty smell of used literature, and lived a quiet, content life surrounded by it.

The change of pace was bizarre. Sam almost always dealt with the non-fiction areas of the store. She felt oddly unfamiliar shelving what she had to that day, even with the years of experience under her belt. Her tan cheeks grew warm with embarrassment. Memoirs could be seen in her hands often but never philosophy, and the difficult to pronounce names didn't help her bare minimum knowledge on the genre.

Nonetheless, she squeezed a final book by Camus into the tightly packed bay and turned to wheel the cart back across the now permanently rippled carpet. Yikes. She'd have to tell Sam to get it stretched again or maybe ask him to just quit putting so many books on each cart at once.

“Oh well,” she muttered and tucked a wavy strand of her black hair behind her ear. “It’ll add to the charm.”

Interrupting the conversation Este was holding with nobody but herself, an elderly woman brushed through the front door.

“Good morning!” the woman exclaimed, smiling as she attempted to control her white hair that had been swept around by the Manchester wind.

“Morning! Watch your step, almost tripped on that ripple myself,” Este warned, perking up her voice to make a polite impression.

Wrinkles appeared near the woman’s eyes as she laughed and thanked Este gratefully, before asking for the whereabouts of Louise Penny’s books. After outstretching her arm and pointing over to the mystery section, the still half-asleep 26-year-old stationed herself back behind the counter.

An inconsistent flow of customer interactions continued throughout the day before Este found herself closing the store for thirty minutes to eat her lunch and brew a quick coffee. She flipped the sign in the window to the side that read ‘closed’ and then pranced to the back room to start their Nespresso for an americano. Leftover Thai food from last night's takeaway was scarfed into her stomach as she decided to eat in her spot behind the counter, enjoying the sun streaming in instead of hiding in the back.

Watching people walk past Greenhouse on the pavement was her daily entertainment; but it quickly backfired as Este remembered that the people walking by could actually see her too. Some pairs of eyes lingered on her a bit too long—out of curiosity, Este assumed—and it made her feel a bit like a zoo animal. So, she thought it’d be best to finish her meal in the back room; but before she could get there, someone tugged on the door trying to enter. It was locked of course, but her pushover mentality jumped up to open it anyway.

She hurriedly greeted the young man on the other side, mustering up an apology in her head. “I’m so sorry, I was just closed up for lunch! You’re welcome to come on in, I’m finishing up right away—”

He interrupted with a similar apologetic tone in his voice. “Oh—you’re on break! Please, no worries, I can come back another time. Enjoy your lunch!”

“Thank you, but I promise I don’t mind at all. Please come on in!” she argued, but he stepped backwards promptly and insisted on coming back later.

“I insist, you deserve your break. I’m sure this shop won’t disappear on me—no biggie. Seriously,” he finished, slipping his hand back into the pocket of his trench coat.

Este looked at the tattoo poking out of his sleeve. It said ‘DAD’. She stopped herself from staring and shot him one last ‘thank you’ while a soft smile lit up his face.

She let out a breath after the nervous and slightly desperate exchange, watching the man walk away. I may as well have begged him to stay on my hands and knees... Este thought to herself and cringed. Her eyes lingered as he ran his fingers through his hair and jogged to cross the street to enter the Starbucks that sat opposite her.

He could’ve read the sign, to be fair.

— April 21, 2018

After that lonesome Tuesday shift, some relief accompanied Este through the week as her typical evening hours were welcomed back into her schedule.

But, a pestering curiosity ate into Este's subconscious. She wondered if the 'DAD'-tattoo-having, lunch-break-interrupting guy ever came back in and whether he found what he was looking for. Maybe he had even more tattoos, and enjoyed reading Nietzsche, unlike her.

She always thought there was excitement within mystery. This fascination shined through with her habit of seeing intriguing strangers and creating little lives for them. Este did it all the time when meeting customers, since it was difficult (and far too existential) for her to conceptualise each person on Earth living a life just as thoroughly as her own. Were they not just entities who showed up to walk into her sight and then out of it again? How could they experience unique anxieties, have a favourite food, or dislike their mum's maiden name?

Este never had any luck accepting that reality, so she felt comfort through the creativity of just deciding what these strangers were like, using it as a way to pass time in the bookstore. She insisted that the Louise Penny woman from that early morning had countless amounts of cats, rarely leaving a stray on the street. She probably lived an eventful youth, travelling around the world, never having time for children, with the biggest sweet tooth known to humankind.

But he was different. Este struggled to pin any quirky and made-up attributes to the striking stranger. Nothing she stirred up in her mind felt like it fit. She began to think that maybe she was too curious to know the real answers to be able to come up with any make-believe ones. As rare as this struggle was for Este, the mere seconds-long interaction from earlier in the week slowly faltered from her memory.

✴

“It should arrive in, maybe, four to five business days. Can’t be sure with the post, though. Perfect. We’ll be in touch—my pleasure. Buh-bye.”

The blue Post-It note crumpled in her hand as Este finally made the last call on the order-in list Sam left for her. A sigh escaped her lips as she let herself relax into the bulk of her shift, only 45 minutes in so far.

She took a leisurely lap around the shop and dragged her fingertips over the greenery—some hanging, some sitting on any spare patch of carpet, others sprawled along the shelves—taking note of their growing crunchiness. Her eyes widened as she tried to recall the last time she’d watered them. It had been a while. Walking to the back, Este opened the leftmost cupboard in the kitchenette to grab their large glass pitcher.

Caring for the plants served as a great way to make the clock tick faster on a particularly slow day for Greenhouse. A customer would walk in no less than an hour after the previous one, and preferred to silently browse—Este's favourite type of shopper. But later, when she was due to close in a short half-hour, a pair of familiar eyes met hers through the front window.

Serving as a much more casual alternative to a trench coat, a bright yellow puffer jacket clad Matty this time around. He reached out a hand to try the door, similarly to his actions earlier in the week. Hesitating, he glanced over at the sign in the glass. It read ‘open’, thankfully, so he swung it wide and slid through. His curly hair slightly bounced back and forth as a memory of the awkward encounter came to the front of his mind, attempting to shake it out.

The last thing he wanted to do on his quick trip was to almost break and enter a locally praised small business. Good god, was that embarrassing, Matty thought.

After it happened, he waited in line at the Starbucks across the street and physically cringed—knowing that there was not a single chance he'd be stepping back into the shop on that same day. Enough damage to his ego had been done.

Every time he took a stroll through Manchester, to slow down the pace of his normally high-speed life, Greenhouse piqued his interest. Its charming energy inspired him to walk in a handful of times over the years; meeting the tall and bright blond owner with a small smile each time. So, he couldn't stop his feet from carrying him back down to the bookshop across from the Starbucks.

Matty was certain that he had never seen that particular worker before he'd disturbed her lunch, despite shopping at Greenhouse in the past. He would’ve remembered the fullness of her cheeks and her wavy black hair. As his eyes graced her a second time, now in the glow of the few lamps illuminating the shop instead of the late morning natural brightness, he gave her an acknowledging (and apologetic) smile and nod.

Este recognized him instantly and waved her hand lightly. “Evening,” she said, her single dimple showing up as she sent a smile back.

“Evening,” he replied casually. “Do you guys have an essay section? I never know where to look.”

Racking her brain for any essay recommendations and finding none, she answered him. “Yeah! It's just in the left back corner over there,” she pointed. “Rather small though, we don't tend to receive many essays nowadays and I can't say I've read any myself.”

He glanced over to where she pointed and nodded his head in realisation, eyes travelling back to hers. Normally, Matty would head over silently and go about his night—but a sudden urge to hear her speak again took over, and his feet stayed in place.

“Really? Not the essay type?”

“Not at all,” she shyly admitted, stepping out from behind the counter and deciding to go and show him the section herself. Este felt like he was striking a conversation with the intention of it lasting, so she chose to comply. Not that she needed much convincing.

He had a certain amiability to him, and even with the limited interaction they'd had together, Este felt it radiate. His eyebrows rose in curiosity and she knew he was listening deeply to their light small talk, which they fell into with ease. More apologies for the momentous Tuesday lunch incident were spewed between them before they learned the other's favourite genres, and the reason Matty had never seen her in the shop before. He made a mental note to come in the evening again next time.

Este liked the few greys hiding in his curly hair and was jealous of his jacket, planning to ask him where it was from if he ever came back in again (since maybe it was too early for that kind of thing). The way he said 'em' instead of 'um' was silly.

Matty couldn't stop staring at her dimple and accidentally smiled back every time it appeared on the left side of her face. In the couple steps they took, he counted up the 4 times she reached to fidget with her necklace. He thought it was a dragonfly, but wasn't completely sure.

“Here they are.” Her eyes scanned the few dozen essay anthologies that sat on the shelves, rather dusty. “Honestly not sure if you'll find anything good here. Can't recall the last time I saw anyone even browsing the section,” she admitted bluntly with a smile, poking fun at his odd reading taste.

Este’s playfulness dragged the edges of his mouth upwards, with his slightly crooked teeth on display.

“Thanks anyway,” he replied with a chuckle, but dragged his tone out—leaving space to let her finish his sentence, silently asking for her name.

She didn't quite get the memo, spouting a quick 'no worries' and flashing him another smile. Her eyes locked with his for a couple seconds as her body turned to lift a pile of books that were clearly out of place. Este had work to do, after all.

He wasn’t too concerned that he didn’t have a name to pair with her face, since he figured he’d remember her anyway. Keeping reserved on his time off, striking conversation wasn't something Matty often did—especially with strangers— but he felt strangely at home within the musty smelling book shop. Its warm lighting and orange carpet eased his eyes. It helped that he was entranced by its smiley staff, too.

Raising his finger to the shelf to help his eyes drag over the sideways book titles, he searched for something to read on the train back to London. He read them one by one. Something about evolution, something by Virginia Woolf. No, no.

“Jesus is the Way: Essays on His Master Plan,” he read aloud to himself as he picked up and inspected the brown novel. “Definitely no.”

Wandering around the shelves after no luck with any essays, Matty turned on his phone to grab the time. He'd been inside Greenhouse for no more than 20 minutes, but had to get back to start packing for his early train ride the next morning. He picked at the skin surrounding his nail beds with his teeth, out of habit, as he decided whether he should say something to the girl behind the counter before leaving.

She had just finished moving the stack of books she had lifted earlier, the abundance of them taking a couple trips. The heavy lifting forced her to catch her breath after she was done, cheeks slightly flushed. Matty noticed the tinge of pink in them and observed the way it mixed with her tanned skin. A subtle anxiety crept behind his ears while he walked past the register, stopping right in front.

“You weren't lying, the essay selection here is actually pretty shite,” he joked to catch her attention.

Este laughed at herself and raised her hands in the air next to her shoulders. “I mean, I'm no liar.” Her eyebrows raised and she shrugged, hands still in the air, as if saying 'I told you so'. “Nothing else caught your eye?”

He pursed his lips and shook his head. “Nope. Guess I'll just never read a book ever again. Thanks…” More sarcasm dripped from his voice as he hoped she'd fill in the space he left for her name, for a second time.

“Este,” she completed. “And hey, next time you should just have a better taste in books and then maybe you won't have to scour the essay section for something to read.”

Matty's quick wit shot a response back immediately, the friendly banter continuing. “I don't recall you offering any recommendations for me,” he argued.

A chuckle escaped her lips as her dimple appeared again, a smile brightening her face.

Since he couldn't help it, he smiled right back. “I'm Matty, by the way.”

She studied the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes and pictured them becoming more noticeable when he laughs. He seemed like the type to laugh with his whole body; like he felt things deeply.

“Well Matty, I'd be happy to recommend something of my taste if you could find an essay anthology that won't make me want to rip my hair out of boredom,” Este posed.

He pointed at her, beginning to turn his body towards the door, his feet shuffling over.

“If that's a promise, then I'll be back.” Flashing another smile, Matty exited and ended the conversation there.

The door shut behind him as he let out a shaky breath, inhaling deeply for the first time in the past couple minutes. I should've said goodbye before leaving. Was saying that ‘I’ll be back’ weird? Was it creepy? he overthought. It was quite out of the blue to care so much about a short interaction with a stranger, but he found himself considering both what he did say and could have said to Este on his journey back.

As Matty stepped into his messy Airbnb, he thought about his itinerary for the following day and noticed a rare wave of dread tickling the back of his neck. After getting back to London, he'd be knee deep in work; likely living in the studio, pushing through the thick of writing and recording his third album. Out of context, four months sounded like plenty of time to finish it, but his trip back to his old stomping grounds—originally taken to bask in some calm before the storm—left a lot of space for thinking. The pressure was overwhelming.

Too much time spent diving through his own thoughts was never good for Matty. Things that he agreed were settled suddenly needed tweaking, making the newly 29-year-old eager to get back to work. The pure magnitude of it all was what he found himself to dread, the high expectations weighing on his conscience.His art only continued to explore genres (or the lack thereof), and fleeted with ambition—the only way to keep him sane—and the new instalment of The 1975 embraced that more than ever.

It's far too early to be worried about criticism, Matty decided internally, trying to fit a fifth pair of shoes into his suitcase.

He considered the surprisingly effortless exchange he shared with Este just an hour previous to his last-minute packing, and how it was the first he initiated while on his own in a long while. For a moment, he had no record to worry about, or deadlines to meet, and enjoyed the simple company of another person. Through the stress of his industrious life, Matty had a habit of forgetting that the naivety of moments like those in Greenhouse Books is sometimes all he needs for a surge of inspiration. The Greenhouse girl served as a good reminder.

A suddenly buoyant outlook for A Brief Inquiry accompanied Matty and his now fully zipped black luggage on the floor of his lounge. His tired hands reached for his phone and opened up Instagram, signing into his burner account, the official one still dormant and set to reactivate closer to the album release. The only intention he had on the social media app that night was to slyly search 'este' into his explore page, but none were the Este.

Must be a couple of other Este’s on the internet, I guess, Matty thought.

Before bed that night, he laid his head on his pillow, as a small spark of motivation soothed the pressure of the coming future.

— May 31, 2018

“The couch definitely can't go in that corner,” Este argued. “Everyone would break their necks trying to watch the T.V.” She sipped on her tea, elbows propped behind her on the kitchen island. “Seriously, Cate, tell me how you can be a graphic designer without having even a slight eye for interiors. It's appalling, honestly.”

A moment of silence sat between the two flatmates as they looked at each other, Cate’s jaw hanging open. “How about you tell me how you can be such a bitch and still live under the same roof as me?” she fired back playfully. “I'm gonna strangle you one day.” Her hands rose, forming an imaginary chokehold as the two laughed some more.

Cate joined Este in the kitchen to see the same view of their living room, tilting her head. Their brand new couch sat awkwardly in the centre of the space, both of them failing to realise how big it was before buying it online. Sweat once glistened at both of their foreheads as they rearranged all of the furniture that sat in front of the T.V., attempting to find some sort of solution, and ultimately playing a game of living room Tetris to try and fit the couch somewhere.

They were so focused that they did it all in silence, only exchanging short phrases like ‘to your left, a couple of centimetres,’ and ‘hold that corner while I fix the rug’. But, after two hours of effort, the girls sat back to assess the damage and have a tea break.

“You know,” started Este. “Maybe this big project you're up for will earn you some extra cash and we can afford to get a new coffee table, too. That's really the issue here, honestly. It's awkward and bulky. We need a cute and dainty ovular one, or something, maybe the couch will fit then,” she suggested.

The red-haired girl raised her eyebrows. “You’ve found the culprit, babe. That coffee table needs to go.” Cate confirmed. “Might be a while for that merch collection to pay out, though. We haven’t even started it yet. Think we can survive with this gargantuan thing until September?”

“I guess we’ll have to.”

After they chose to ignore the furniture situation for the night, Este started bringing ingredients out of the cupboards to make herself dinner. She plonked a loaf of bread and a carton of eggs plonked onto the counter, with Cate watching in amusement.

“Eggs? At 7:30pm?” Cate asked judgmentally.

“Listen, breakfast for dinner is normal for me. You should know this by now.” Este shrugged and flicked on their gas stove to start satisfying her hunger. “You ate already—and without me, so this is actually none of your business,” she said.

A dash of oil was drizzled into the pan and Este stepped back to wait for it to heat up.

“Still think it’s weird.”

Este rolled her eyes. “You can quit judging me and divert that energy to being on AUX, if you don't mind. Been in a drought lately, just listening to the same stuff over and over,” Este suggested, getting most of her music recommendations from roommate’s much more eclectic taste. She handed over their JBL speaker that was sitting on the island, prompting Cate to pair her phone and fill the silence.

“I could say the exact same! What’s with the month of May? I’ve come across literally nothing new, or even remotely good,” she complained. “But hey, I think it’s Annie Mac time on Radio 1 right now. Maybe I’ll stick that on and she’ll give us some hope.”

Este flipped over her egg with a spatula and then pointed it at Cate, approving her good idea. “I trust that woman with my life, Cate. You know I’d never say no to my girl Annie,” she gushed.

Cate laughed and put on the radio, the two falling into conversation about nothing in particular as Annie Mac spouted on about her hottest record of May.

“The whole song seems to be about you looking back, and the observations of growing older, and what you’re learning—and the lessons learned.”

“That’s true.”

“So, we’ve just confirmed that you are obsessed with growing older.”

“I’m obsessed with—I mean—it’s not about me growing older, because I mean Annie, look at my face. I look alright.”

“Babe, you look like you’re about 22!”

“Right, you heard it here first. Matt Healy looks 22, that’s the headline I want to see!”

Cate walked back over to the couch and collapsed onto it, tired from the whole debacle. It made no sense in their living room, but damn, was it comfortable. She closed her eyes and basked in the fluffiness of the brand new cushion, eventually hearing a song start. Its piercing guitar riff cut into her brain and she found herself cringing at how exposed it was; but the fast beat of the song intrigued her. It felt so in-your-face, that laying down (fully relaxed with her eyes shut) felt like the complete wrong way to take it in.

She stood up suddenly and looked over at Este, who was deep in thought. Cate snapped her out of it, and said, “This song makes me feel like I have tachycardia.”

Her roommate looked up at her, now out of her trance, and laughed out loud at her best friend’s reference to the condition where your heart beats too fast. “You’re so right,” she agreed, sliding her fully cooked eggs onto the couple of slices of toast. Este couldn't help but nod her head with the rhythm.

“Tachycardia, like, in a good way, though.” Cate complimented.

It continued to the chorus and as it spewed optimistic lyrics, Este and Cate caught each other's eyes again. The line, “Won’t you give yourself a try?” repeated over and over, and in unison, they began dancing like maniacs.

REPUTATION EASTER EGGS

Here is my master list post of all the easter eggs I believe have been left for Reputation (Taylor's Version). If I've missed any please let me know!!! Happy Rep TV clowning!🐍🤡

112 THEORY

Via this theory, Reputation (Taylor's Version) is rumoured to be releasing on the 16th of February 2024 in Melbourne Australia on the first night of the Australian leg.

The announcement is rumoured to be 26th of November 2023 in Sao Paolo Brazil, on the final night of the Eras Tour 2023.

Now onto DATE MATH!

11/26/23 is the rumoured announcement date.

SO let's break down this date!

1+1+2+6+2+3=15.

1+5=6.

rep is the sixth album.

reputation TV would be her 15th album including re-recordings

Now let's look at the rumoured release date for Reputation (Taylor's version)....

It's rumoured and guessed to be releasing on February 16th 2024. 02/16/24.

Let's break that date down too...

0+2+1+6+2+4=15.

1+5=6.

MIC DROP!

National Cake Day!

11/26 is national Cake Day.

In the Bejeweled Music video Taylor is dressed as Marie Antoinette, who famously said 'let them eat cake.

And she gave a STRONG wink during that scene.

On Sao Paolo N1, Taylor VERY deliberately looked over her shoulder and winked at the crowd, right into the camera. It feels like too much of a coincidence with little miss nothing is ever accidental.

Taylor repeated this on N2, and stuck her tongue out.

There is also the cake in the I Bet You Think About Me Music video.

The numbers on the top of the cake are: 13, 26 and 2. 13x2 is 26, which seems to be an easter egg for 26/11! As well as the obvious 2's hinting towards the second month of February!! She also pulls her hand through the cake and creates two equal lines....a sideways 11?

Black Friday

11/26 falls on the weekend after Black Friday. Reputation's colour is Black, and Reputation being announced 2 days after Black Friday seems a small nod to her blacking out her socials and 3 days later posting a Reputation teaser...

And perhaps 2 because of...well February!

BEJEWELED MUSIC VIDEO

Danielle Haim

Taylor's casting of the Bejeweled music video interested me! She cast her friends the Haim sisters to play her wicked step-sister in the first scene, which is FILLED with easter eggs.

Particularly important to me is Danielle Haim.

Danielle was born on the 16th February 1989.

Yes. 02/16. The same date as Reputation (Taylor's version rumoured release. Now just remember this date. It becomes important later!!!

She was also 33 when the music video was both filmed and released. 33. 3+3=6..6 means Reputation

Danielle says "bye snake" as they leave Taylor. She is the first person to mention Taylor being a snake in this video

I do believe Taylor wouldn't miss the chance to use her friends as easter eggs when possible!!!

Danielle also flicks her fan 6 times during that scene. Credit to @kush07_ on Twitter for this fan one!

Laura Dern

Laura Dern interestingly is another February birthday (02/10/67) within that casting. Exceptionally interesting to have 2 people born in the second month present during a scene filled with 2's with outright easter eggs to Reputation...hmmm

Kingdom Keys

The wording of 'keys to your own castle' during the discussion of what the girls will get if they marry the prince is particularly interesting to me. It is VERY strongly reminiscent of 'I don't like your kingdom keys, they once belonged to me' from LWYMMD.

Twos

There are two candles burning to the side of Laura as she talks to Taylor. Also two lights above the sisters. There's a lot of 2's / doubles imagery in this music video.

There are two candles next to where the Haim sisters and Laura exit the room.

Danielle our Feb 16th hint is also the second person to say goodbye to Taylor. Another 2.

Alana then calls Taylor 'snakey'. This is the second time a snake reference is said, and it is the last. Another 2 of course...

In the scene with Dita Von Teese there is 2 of everything.

In the final scene of the video there are two torches on either side of Taylor. Just another 2. Just for funsies.

Exile ends 02

Taylor then receives the oyster shell stopwatch which declares "exile ends at 02". Now going back to Alana and Danielle's comments...exile ends for this SNAKE at 02. FEBRUARY.

Outfits

The next scene shows Taylor in a hooded black outfit. This is very strong imagery of the reputation stadium tour beginning outfit she wore.

In the scene where jewels begin flying to her, there is a scene alone of just her boots when she is walking. This really reminded me of the beginning of the reputation section of the eras tour.

Full Moon

When we see the outside of the building of which the elevator is in, there is a full moon. 11/26 is a full moon. SNTV was announced on a full moon, 1989TV was the day before a full moon....

Dita Von Teese scene

In the scene with Dita Von Teese, Taylor is dripping in diamonds. Very reminiscent of LWYMMD bathtub scene.

Theres two chandeliers present during this scene. This just struck the idea of the lyric 'bass beat rattling the chandelier' from This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things.

Ghosted

Taylor refuses Jack's proposal. The text says...she ghosted.

When did Taylor ghost on us? Rep era! she wasn't seen, she was like a ghost!

Marie Antoniette

Taylor is dressed like Marie Antoinette in the scene where she receives the keys. Marie famously said 'let them eat cake'. National Cake Day is 11/26. This also lines up with the I Bet You Think About Me Cake theory!

Castle Crumbling

The final scene has her stood in a crumbling castle at night. Her castle crumbling overnight...hello Call It What You Want To! There is also a full moon...

KARMA MV

Devil Scene

The scene that we link to Reputation is the second scene featuring Taylor. She's dressed in all black and has a mask of the devil.

This scene starts at 20 seconds. She waves at 26 seconds.... perhaps an easter egg for the era beginning in the 2nd month and for the album saying' hello' aka an announcement on the 26th!

She's surrounded by 13 dancers at this point, the presence of a 13 normally is alerting us it is an easter egg.

The belt on her dress is very similar to a necklace she held up during the LWYMMD behind the scenes walkthroughs.

Ice Spice

Ice Spice is featured in both the song and of course the video. Her birthday is 1/1. New Years Day. And well...Taylor loves to use a birthday as an easter egg...

Island

The scene where Taylor is laying as an island has linked her to Te-Fiti, and the codename for Karma was 'Volcano'. However in Sao Paolo, there is an island called 'Snake Island'. And the outline of this island looks VERY similar to how Taylor looks as an island!

Coffee Cup

Obviously we have the most obvious one we all know and love. The Midnights coffee cup being a blue nail at 8 & a black nail at 2. 1989TV was announced in August, meaning the nails definitely meant something.

Now the black nail being at 2 could mean released in February or announced then, but I'm leaning heavily towards releasing!

The coffee cup has the hands of the clock between 11:56, indicating it is becoming close to midnight.

Midnight = 12. December is the 12th month, but she's indicating something coming BEFORE MIDNIGHT. 4 minutes in fact before midnight. Indicating reputation is coming 4 days before December. Aka November 26th!

I CAN SEE YOU MV

The only real easter egg I could find within this music video for Reputation was the use of a Getaway Car and the dark outfits.

You Are In Love Lyric Video

In the sand of this video are the letters R E P...hello reputation!

The Eras Tour

At one night of the Eras Tour, Taylor said the crowd were jumping like kangaroos. With Reputation TV rumoured to release February 16th in Melbourne, Australia, I am counting this as an easter egg for SURE.

VMAS

Hello. The Outfit. That's Reputation!

The Ring Taylor wore (and broke) is very very similar to the necklace pendant Laura Dern wears in Bejeweled. Telling us to look at Laura, who is a February birthday.

During her acceptance speech, Taylor used the words 'slithering around genres' to describe her musical journey. Well that reputation if I've ever seen her!

PREVIOUS ANNOUNCEMENTS

Taylor announced Speak Now with Sparks Fly. Track 2.

She announced 1989 TV with New Romantics. Track 16.

2/16...how interesting!

RIO

The choice of playing ME! as her first acoustic song ON N3 was VERY interesting to me. Her first released song that she owned. Interestingly it came out on the 26th of April 2016. Yup a 26! The music video also begins with a snake, and signified the end of the rep era, so I do think it was used as a Rep Easter egg, especially when paired with So It Goes....

It was interesting she paired a track 16 with a track 7. 16 is her rumoured rep release day and 7 is her rumoured debut release day.

Post Rio the only remaining Reputation song left for surprise songs is 'I Did Something Bad'. It appears Taylor is doing what she did with 1989 and will announce after finishing the entire album!

SAO PAOLO

They used a new reputation era photo from the Taylor Insta photoshoot for a welcome banner in transit areas. After scouring the internet and my swiftie sources I couldn't find it anywhere, so I am presuming this high quality image was provided to Sao Paolo to use from Taylor's team... a rep era picture..hmmm

In TaylorNations post from pre Sao Paolo N1, they say they are 'wonderstruck'. This is from the song Enchanted. Enchanted has a run time of 5.53. 5+5+3= 13. Funny them using a 13 song to talk about Sao Paolo...seems important right!

In Sao Paolo there is an island called Snake Island. I think this is important as mentioned in the Karma MV section.

There are 6 shows in Brazil. 6 again that's REP CODED!

N3 will be her 13th international date. It will also be her 66th show overall.

Taylor's opener Sabrina Carpenter came out in an outfit very reminiscent of Taylor's rainbow dress from the Reputation Stadium Tour. Taylor's openers have been in on announcements in the past, Haim knew about 1989TVs release!

Taylor looked over her shoulder and winked right into the camera. This is very similar to the wink she did in Bejeweled whilst dressed as Marie Antoniette!

For surprise songs on Sao Paolo N1 Taylor sang Now That We Don't Talk for the first time. This song has a run time of 2:26. Taylor is insane enough to do this....2=February. 26= Announcement date,.

She also played Innocent. Innocent is track 11 on Speak Now. So by using Now That We Don't Talk and Innocent she easter egged both the numbers 2, 26 and 11. February and the 26th of November!!!!

Innocent is also sampled in LWYMMD. It is also about the same person. Innocent was also first played on 12/09/10. 1+2+0+9+1+0=13! Sao Paolo N1 was also a 13 date (11/24/23 - 1+1+2+4+2+3=13)

Taylor stuck her tongue out a LOT this night. I think she knows we are clowning and is playing with us. Also...snakes do stick their tongues out constantly so...

Taylor did a sideways Dolphin body roll in Midnight Rain. She doesn't normally do this. We saw her do this move during the BTS clips of Reputation being made and recorded.

SURPRISE SONGS

Surprise songs were Safe and Sound and Untouchable. An interesting pairing. As Safe and Sound technically wasn't on an album release, it's a track 0. Untouchable is a track 15.

Reputation (Taylor's Version) will be Taylor's 15th album including rerecords.

Safe and Sound was released on the 26th of December 2011.

Untouchable was released on the 26th of October 2009.

Safe and Sound is all about protection from the outside world, and Untouchable is about dreaming of something you feel you can't have. During the Reputation era/events leading to Rep's release Taylor went into hiding to protect herself from the outside world, and dreamt of the public releasing she was right about the phone-call and the Kimye situation all along, but she felt they wouldn't believe her.

There are lyrical parallels in both the surprise songs to Reputation songs. Credit to @taylorslavender and @lightupfloor on twitter for these!

TRIPLE HIGH NOTE

Taylor did a triple Don't Blame Me high note on N1. The only surprise song left from rep is track 3. This triple note was done once in Rio, N3 in Atlanta, once in Tampa, Glendale once and finally Sao Paolo N1. This means she has done it 5 times. She did not sing that note in the rep set N2 in Sao Paolo. If she does it N3 she would bring the total of triple notes during tour to 6...aka rep's number!

Photographer

A black and white photographer named Damon Baker (@damon_baker) who has previously worked with Taylor, posted her on his story on 11/25 answering a question box asking 'last thing that inspired you?' answering 'my next creation'. Now with Reputation TV being rumoured to release on 11/26 and likely with a black and white photoshoot makes for an interesting situation. He also posted a story saying his next project was coming 'tomorrow' aka 11/26...

Reputation Merch

In the holiday merch drop, Reputation appeared to receive the most new merch. In the VERY limited edition drops, most of the old pieces sold were Reputation Merch.

The Black Friday sale timer ends on 11/26.

Instagram

As of 11/26, Taylor's Instagram is currently aligned, and has a clear darker theme to it. We saw this when 1989TV was released that her feed became bluer.

The Surprise Song Countdown.

It is theorised Taylor is using her rerecorded albums to count down to Reputation's release using her surprise songs. TaylorNation shared a countdown video for the Black Friday Store sale

Now That We Don't Talk (4th rerecord)

Innocent (3rd rerecord)

Safe and Sound (2nd rerecord)

Untouchable (1st rerecord)

It is theorised she could do a song from Debut as this would be album 0 as the rerecord hasn't been announced yet, or perhaps Glitch. Then we think she will do I Did Something Bad and announce Reputation (Taylor's Version).

Dancer Instagram Story

One of Taylor's dancers posted this image of a snake wrapping round legs statue...what do they know!!!
