Controversial opinion:

We all know betty is gay, and has been heralded as the gayest song on the album. However, I counter that by saying that seven is in fact the supreme gay track and potentially one of her gayest songs to date. Realizing you're gay at a young age? Promising to keep it a secret? Wanting to save or give to or bask in the aura of a first innocent crush? Wondering how it all could have been different if you hadn't learned that your nature is socially unacceptable? Not even remembering who that person was but being impacted by them forever? In this essay I will

me, on my way to defend reputation as taylor's best album and be a disappointment to swifties everywhere

Assorted thoughts on this shot:

There's definitely a shoutout to their "secret moments in a crowded room".

I'm not really sure if there's any specific meaning about the sweatshirt, other than that the song about them.

Not totally sure what "capitalize on the feeling" in intended to mean, but in this context she absolutely did capitalize on her feelings in this situation. She wrote albums and made millions off of her music about Karlie. Maybe this is what she was told to do- Capitalize before it's too late. Capitalize before you come out and ruin your success.

Now time for my favorite- greedy. I think there's absolutely a lot behind this. I think you can definitely draw parallels in double standards- women are greedy, men are ambitious. Women are greedy for wanting anything more for themselves, men are just worth so much.

But looking at it, it's written between them. They're being greedy. Why? I'm placing my bets that when Taylor first started to want to come out (2014? 2015? 2016?), she was told she was being greedy. It could have been by her management, by her family, by herself, it doesn't really matter. She was greedy to want that for herself because her success creates the paychecks for hundreds of people around her, and to come out would be to risk that. And for what? She's succeeding, everyone is at the edge of their seats to know who she's dating, the beards are working, people love her and her music, she's making history, no one is questioning her sexuality (except, um, nevermind), everything is going perfectly. Why do you need to risk it? To be "true to yourself"? Bullshit. To be "representative"? Who cares. To live your life with who you want to live it with? You have the resources to do all of that in secret. To ask for more is greedy. Even though it's just basic humanity. Taylor Swift is not just a person- she's a company, a brand, a machine. In her music, she seems like she's balancing this need to be authentic while still keeping the machine operational. Double meanings, references, Easter eggs, riddles, what do they all point to? These were born of trying to walk an impossible line between maintaining her public image but keeping her honesty to herself and her fans.

I do have a feeling that we said goodbye to a big part of the machine in November, but only time will tell.

can we talk about it

Something that I've been thinking about with this scene as a whole is that it's not crazy over the top like the others. If you're taking the bare concept (having sex, staying the night, walk of praise vs. shame etc.) and you wanted to exemplify that in the music video, wouldn't your instinct go to Hugh Hefner imagery, lingerie, multiple women, clothes everywhere? It's like she's not poking as much fun at this scene, and it's (slightly) more serious. It's simple, honest, real, not incredibly obnoxious. She's saying she can't even have that. She can't even have the simple aspects of a relationship without feeling shamed and judged.

Also yes I'm a dumb bitch and just DM'd her about it 😂 genuinely just a Coincidence and not a Koincidence that it was there (although Karlie still posted about it so 😅)

So if you zoom into the rolling stone cover eyes, there seems to be the silhouette of a woman. In each eye. Intentionally. What does it mean?????

Gonna pull a muscle from this reach but the left eye gave me the vibes 💫

Also looks like a woman opening up the curtains to let in the daylight 💘
