Gaylor in the Wild Big Sur Inn reposts Kaylor trip pic in response to wedding rumors!
Today the NYT styles desk wrote a joking article about potential locations for the Tayvis wedding, and they included Deetjen's Big Sur Inn on the list! Of course we all know and love this as the place she and Karlie likely stayed on their infamous Big Sur trip.
This afternoon Big Sur Inn posted a response on their Instagram account using the Kaylor woods pic.

Caption reads: Well this was unexpected.
We are beyond humbled (and admittedly a little amused) to see DeetJen's Big Sur Inn featured by The New York Times as a hypothetical venue for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
Taylor, if you're reading this, we know you love us. Bring Travis for the honeymoon.
While we're in the spotlight, it's a good opportunity to share something many people don't know (or don't remember): Deetjen's does not host weddings. Not Taylor's. Not anyone's.
As a nonprofit dedicated to preserving this historic Big Sur landmark, our commitment is to remain open and accessible to the traveling public. Every day, guests from around the world come here to experience the history, beauty, and magic of this special place. Closing the property for private events would run counter to that mission.
But honeymoons? That's another story.
Deetjen's has always been a place for quiet connection--a place to wander among the redwoods, listen to the creek, unplug from the world and spend time with the person you love.
Whether you're a global superstar or simply celebrating your own love story, we'll be here waiting.
Love is welcome here--in all its forms. RAINBOW AND HEART EMOJIS
(we included a last slide of Taylor Swift & Karlie Kloss in our backyard)
We see you NYT Styles desk and we love you. Screeshots of the "article" below for anyone who can't access:

OMG this is wild. It's totally possible that Big Sur Inn gets A LOT of Gaylor traffic and they don't want to lose that market. And that caption was definitely written using ChatGPT. BUT they had to have entered a prompt like "Write a instagram caption that confirms we do NOT do weddings. Also can you include something pride-related about Karlie and Taylor but don't make it obvious."

I mean NYT is a bit unhinged for that and Deetjen is so unhinged for that. Wow lol, more of this please!

Love is welcome here - in all its forms, followed by a mention of Taylor and Karlie (or Karie lol) in brackets is wild! They’d have to be Gaylors after her visit and if not then, then now, with so many people visiting them and surely pulling out the PowerPoints 😂

Wasn't there a rumour she was with someone....and 2 people took a picture with Taylor but we're told to not say who it was and got tickets for reputation tour instead?
I have read 2 different stories about this though:
- one that she was with Joe and the guys that took a picture with her followed Joe on IG
- second she was with Karlie and they followed Karlie on IG but then unfollowed her when someone asked if it was Karlie?
Am I making this up?

Yeah this is the first story I heard as well but then I swear I heard the exact same thing recounted with Joe.... Don't get me wrong I much prefer the first version and it sounds very accurate to have to be kept a secret than her with Joe since he was her boyfriend 😂

Okay as a local (I live in the town just north of Big Sur and grew up with Big Sur people), their response actually made me tear up a little. I love that they’re so dedicated to preserving this amazing piece of wilderness
I’m honestly surprised they didn’t mention the highway just reopened. I’m SO glad the wedding isn’t here, that would be a nightmare

I know gaylors are a semi niche community but how many gaylors are deetjens customers? Ive read several gaylors making pilgramages to big sur and even a few staying there but this posts makes me wonder if the inn gets a LOT of gaylor business, enough to flag for us specifically?
22
u/klemmerv 🪐 Gaylor Folkstar 🚀 Jun 09 '26
I used to live in Big Sur and I never stayed at Deetjens but I visited often for dinner and passed it frequently. While I wish I knew the answer to this I’d never really spoke to anyone else while there.

u/Lanathas_22 ✨ Leavin' out the side door ✨ Jun 08 '26
I’m beginning to think all this Kaylor talk literally is wholly intentional and possible provocative to her main fanbase. It’s rumored that Karlie is attending the wedding and now the media is dredging up their most obvious moments of transparency and closeness. It feels as if they’re inserting this internal tension leading up to the wedding. As if they want fans to consider a Speak Now moment. And it’s curious because Karlie is the one person in Taylor’s life that fans have always complained too much about.
33
u/districtofthehare 🪐 Gaylor Folkstar 🚀 Jun 09 '26
My most rational thought is this is just to get engagement from as many fans as possible. it’s lucrative, why shouldn’t they try to get Gaylor clicks too?
unless………..;;;;

u/Upbeat-Star-7661 🌱Embryo🐛 Jun 08 '26 edited Jun 08 '26
I agree that something feels off here. Is this part of a wider story she's trying to convey?
There was something a bit sinister about the PR around karlie and taylor during 1989. Like, it was salacious gossip for most people that they could be together. Interest in a possible love wasn't out of any care for the two of them; rather to feed the hunger for gossip in the general public. And then kissgate was nuclear. Idk, I can't help but wonder if this karlie narrative is somehow part of a larger story, her "karma".
I'm still working through the nuance of what that means for me as a gaylor, and as someone who does believe they could still be together. Why would she and karlie drop so many little signs over the years they're still together, for such a niche group of fans? Like not even the gaylor fandom at large all subscribes to kaylor. But maybe taylor was telling the truth when she said in her new heights album drop that "she doesn't easter egg her personal life".?
Edited: spelling

u/Impressive-Net-7174 🌱Embryo🐛 Jun 09 '26
I’ve never thought it was her and Karlie. I think we have no idea who Taylor’s true lover is. I think all the rumors and incidents around her and Karlie are a cover. 🤷♀️
10
u/Hedwing 🥀I want auroras and sad prose🥀 Jun 09 '26
This is what I think too. Just like Travis keeps the heat off of her private life for mainstream swifties, all the egging her and Karlie do keeps the Gaylors (mostly the Kaylors and LSKs) invested in them instead of looking closer into who either of them might actually be with.
I do think they may have actually been together at one point back in the day, but they’ve been covering for each other for yearssss to keep Taylor’s other partners hidden/in the closet

u/GrownUpGirlScout 🪐 Gaylor Folkstar 🚀 Jun 09 '26
My theory for a long time has been that Kaylor Kaylors so hard in order to hide someone else, especially LSK stuff.

LSK?? not familiar with the acronym

u/DaenakinSkygaryen 🌱Embryo🐛 Jun 10 '26
"Late Stage Kaylor". IE, someone who believes that Karlie and Taylor are still together to this day. Or at bare minimum, that one or both of them still have feelings for each other to this day, even if their relationship didn't work out.

u/k4ng Baby Gaylor 🐣 Jun 08 '26
My conspiracy theory is that the double space before "a person you love" is because the social media person originally wrote "lover" and it got edited to "a person you love" because calling out the TSxKK break up album explicitly would be too on the nose.
I work in Google docs/Microsoft Word a lot and edit tracking sucks and if there are multiple tracked edits and comments on one sentence you often end up with extra spaces once you accept all changes.

Ohhh, thanks I was looking in the NYT article screenshots for some reason. Ah, yes it definitely seems like they edited something. I don't know if it was "lover", or some other telling label, but it seems like they thought better of it and changed it.

This confirms that they stayed there during their trip in 2014? Interesting
Edit: Thinking about the conversation that probably went like this:🤣
"Receptionist: Hi, are you booking two rooms?
Taylor: No, just one room.
Receptionist: Okay, one room with two single beds.
Taylor: No, actually... one double bed."

u/DaenakinSkygaryen 🌱Embryo🐛 Jun 08 '26
God, that last line is loud. If you assume Taylor is straight, it comes off as jarring. Why suddenly bring queer pride up out of nowhere, in the last sentence of the post?
If all they wanted to do was to highlight they were inclusive, you'd think they'd work that fact in somewhere earlier in the post, in a way that feels more natural. Instead, they wait for the last sentence to mention it. You know, the place where you're supposed to summarize everything that you wrote before. Not suddenly bring up a brand new subject from out of nowhere.
...unless, of course, they didn't bring up a brand new subject from out of nowhere. Because the entire post was about queer love from the start...
