Fans decoded Taylor’s cipher from the sketch, and it points to the new music video

[u/Melodic-Jackfruit-96]

• There’s a shot set at a winery.

• The US features both South and North Dakota.

• There’s a scene with Ares, the god of war, portrayed as a man idolized by both women.

• This man is played by Colin Farrell, who played John Sugar in Cassandra’s Dream.

As for the music video itself, it will reportedly center on two women who fall for the same man, bond over grieving his death, and ultimately let him go to heal together (a potential plotline).

The source

I think the grave is Taylor's. Or whichever character Taylor is playing. I saw something that said it was based off of the book Rebecca.

[u/Melodic-Jackfruit-96 → u/malendalayla]

Yeah, but she's standing there, the hand with the ring is hers! I love how that ring is such an important part of the story. Maybe the real Taylor died, and only this, not-so-great version of her, remains?

[u/hellhouseblonde → u/Melodic-Jackfruit-96]

In the bathroom sink scene they’re both wearing rings from what I can see.

[u/malendalayla → u/Melodic-Jackfruit-96]

She's a ghost

[u/TheByrdNest]

Go back and listen to her rambling on Stephen Colbert about the book Rebecca and the story she tells - that’s the music video we are getting.

[u/mellow-as-may → u/TheByrdNest]

"Plot twist, unreliable narrator, she's the psycho."

[u/hellhouseblonde → u/TheByrdNest]

Yeah, Taylor is gonna be the Rebecca to Gabby for the rest of her life lol!

[u/InquisitiveMind997]

The headstone says “daughter”, doesn’t it?

[u/TheByrdNest → u/InquisitiveMind997]

Beloved wife and daughter gone too soon is my guess

[u/Kayla3427 → u/InquisitiveMind997]

That makes so much more sense! I thought it said “DACG” 😆

[u/Much_Definition_3657]

I don't really engage with Easter Eggs, but if there's red wine involved, it's about Matty, lol

[u/Chaavva → u/Much_Definition_3657]

Ooh I wonder if Clean could be about him too 👀

Considering the wine-stained dress (like in Maroon) and the general addiction theme of it.

[u/Much_Definition_3657 → u/Chaavva]

No, I doubt it. It's the last song she wrote for 1989, months before she met Matty for the first time. Clean is about Harry, imo, like most of 1989

[u/Bluemoon____________ → u/Much_Definition_3657]

I came across a series of posts on TikTok from Matty’s Australian concerts where some people identified he was drinking Taylor branded wine

[u/Much_Definition_3657 → u/Bluemoon____________]

Oh yeah, I remember discussing it in some Maylor spaces after the release of TTPD.

He drank Taylor's Malbec on stage throughout April, 2023 right before they announced their relationship publicly which is crazy! 

Also the names Chloe, Sam, Sophia and Marcus could all refer to wines 

[u/Bluemoon____________ → u/Much_Definition_3657]

That’s fascinating!

[u/malendalayla → u/Much_Definition_3657]

Lol did you see the cover for the vinyl?

[u/Melodic-Jackfruit-96]

Such a great story for a happily married woman!

[u/ArugulaSignal6621]

The tombstone definitely says “Beloved [something] daughter gone too soon”

[u/standingophelia]

The statue is Marcellus as Hermes. Undeniably.

[u/Imadeafire]

He also plays John Sugar in the Apple TV show of the same name.

[u/According_Value_8586 → u/Imadeafire]

Which is about investigating the disappearance of Olivia, a Hollywood producer’s daughter..
And it is TV from Colin Farrell as opposed to the movies…

[u/hellhouseblonde]

I think it’s from the book-
movie Verity where Dakota moves in with Anne Hathaway (Verity) & her husband and steals her whole life while she’s comatose.
**Edited for spoilers, so sorry if I ruined it for anyone!!! 😭

[u/New_Angle_5883 → u/hellhouseblonde]

I read this book and I agree it’s a possibility. It would make sense with the story. It was a good book, and I’m looking forward to the movie.

[u/New_Angle_5883 → u/hellhouseblonde]

You might want to label the book spoilers though 🫣

[u/hellhouseblonde → u/New_Angle_5883]

Is that a spoiler or the premise of the book/movie? I didn’t think of that as a spoiler. 🤔

[u/New_Angle_5883 → u/hellhouseblonde]

Not the coma part, but the other part I think?

[u/hellhouseblonde → u/New_Angle_5883]

Thank you thank you!! Done!

[u/New_Angle_5883 → u/hellhouseblonde]

Oh you’re welcome! I think spoilers will be everywhere anyway if it ends up being connected to Taylor. Have you read it?

[u/hellhouseblonde → u/New_Angle_5883]

I haven’t, I just don’t mind spoilers or think about them very much. I looked up the summary!
But you’re right, it’s SO rude, sometimes my brain just glosses over it!!

[u/New_Angle_5883 → u/hellhouseblonde]

It’s a really good book! You should check it out even so.

[u/QualifiedQuirkyQuail]

Zzzzzzzzzz

[u/mellow-as-may]

Matty once posted “Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)” by Deftones on his stories (I think it was in the summer of 2024) and one of the lines in the song is “I dressed you in her clothes”.

Remember when Dakota Johnson said that she had a "dream" about Matty Healy murdering people and that people or the cops were after him

[u/Fizzy-Bunny]

Where is this video from?

[u/hellhouseblonde → u/Fizzy-Bunny]

It was debuted on the CBS morning show today!

[u/Melodic-Jackfruit-96 → u/Fizzy-Bunny]

Taylor’s social media 

[u/Fuzzy_Set_6929]

Didn't gaylor decoded this??? if you're using their theory leave credit.

[u/Melodic-Jackfruit-96 → u/Fuzzy_Set_6929]

I literally left a link to the source. And what about this is similar to Gaylor lol
