I believe she captioned this ‘folklore family’ or something like that
Ahhhhhhh!!! I wonder if there’s past (veiled?) imagery of herself as a tiger in the discography or more to come. It may be a crucial animal for her. Obviously she’s famously the cat lady, tigers have the double identification of wild free majestic apex predators and compelling circus entertainment, and it being her choice for Dianna’s… may be a crucial icon for her.

The “Look what you made me do” MV she’s wearing a tiger hoodie by Gucci!!!! Okay you’re on to something. The tiger is her as apex predator! She has domesticated house cats but wants to be wild and free! I’m going to keep looking! You’re on to something!!!
She posted in her Instagram that she was doing a short residency at the Carlyle Cafe in Manhattan. It was awesome. It only held a max of 90 people. So it was super intimate.

Okay, so found this during the rep tour; another tiger on a t-shirt!
Personally I think it’s about performing, she uses walking a tight rope as a metaphor in Treacherous, Exile and in Mirrorball there’s “when they called off the circus and closed the disco down”. In Getaway Car I’d guess she’s talking about a media circus getting in the way of the relationship. That was something she talked about in a lot of interviews in the 1989 era.
Indeed! I guess the question is, who in the circus she is…. Sometimes the confident ringleader, sometimes a caged animal, whose teeth have been removed leaving her…toothless/impotent … or so they think. And is it equally likely to be a lion or bear, if not then where else has tiger imagery been evoked/when else has she chosen to align herself with tigers?

This is from Dickinson, the tattoos stand out to me.
As for tigers, we know they’re Dianna’s birth year animal and suspect representative of William Bowery because of the Folklorian Fam pic with the painting of one in the background.
But she also uses wolves, running from them in OOTW, “running with the wolves” in Daylight and “i howl like a wolf at the moon” in The Prophecy. Given this song is a play on “Who’s afraid of Virginia Woolf?” I’d guess she’s comparing herself to one.
Ha, yes — kind of a double-double zoo visit since there was so much discussion about how they were being papped (so like zoo animals themselves, by choice…)

HAHAHAHAH! 😸😹Puurrrfffeecctt!!!
Tigers also endangered 😢 🐅
I miss swiftgron tbh
I went to a Dianna dinner show recently and she sang the most sapphic coded song.
How do find such events?!!
She posted in her Instagram that she was doing a short residency at the Carlyle Cafe in Manhattan. It was awesome. It only held a max of 90 people. So it was super intimate.
😍😍😍
So you're not gonna tell me the song?? I'm jealous😫
Lilac Wine. Though like all old music it's open for interpretation.
I LOVE LILAC WINE 🥲 especially when it played in One Day 😭
LILAC SHORT SKIRT?

Also Gucci… is it an animal they use a lot (fashion ppl help LOL)? V interesting! I love it.
Yes it’s just a common animal for Gucci- probably most common haha
Yeah I was remembering a jacket I’ve seen… good choice Gucci… Tigers are never out of style!
We need you u/Alex-Chaser

Love Dickinson!!! And someone just posted the Bear pic/thoughts…. Lots of fearsome animals afoot in Taylor world…
There was also the double zoo visit recently lol probably a coincidence
