Holy shit bitches it might be time

The inflatable eras tour friendship bracelet that was wrapped around the last couple stadiums? Taylor purchased it and it is now around a stadium in San Francisco.

San Francisco pride is this weekend and the theme is queer joy isresistance

The r/Gaylor subreddit has some very interesting theories regarding "Break up Announcement" day

April 20th! "What if I roll the stone away" day (aka Easter)

[just-gaylor-stuff]

Here I am bored outta my mind. Here's some theories I screenshoted from reddit:

[reddragon733]

Check out the Articles 🌈

Entertainment I found here in the lore. Went looking for the commercial I saw on the AMA’s and found this whole other beauty on the net and I tell ya, it’s more impactful than just entertainment.

Didn’t see this ad before but we will let that speak for itself

an old fashioned you say?

And that led me here. How the fuck did I misssssssssssss this the other day when I was making my post about the AMAs?!

In rainbow header Essence is Taylor coded.

This article says it all

A PR newswire article -With the new "Make it a Cocktail" campaign making its debut during the live broadcast, On The Rocks™ aims to encourage consumers to elevate their moments by choosing a bartender-created On The Rocks™ in situations traditionally dominated by beer or wine, disrupting conventional drink narratives. In the series, the brand showcases individuals breaking away from the pack in a variety of circumstances to inspire the viewer to Make it a Cocktail? next time they are choosing a drink. (somebody check and see if Kaylor are investors in OTR and is that ice spice with her hand around the bottle in the other article?)

This is going to be a beautiful month.

a Poetic return to Lover

She broke the Master Heist and has her FREEDOM of choice in all aspects.

It’s all Connected.

Somewhere over Laredo

Re-load lover era

🙏

I’ve had a lover vibe for this song ever since the show and this performance

Cheers to you Taylor and the New Romantics for changing the music industry and the public perception

Enjoy and one, two, three last thoughts

Happy June 1 National 💅🏻 day

Hi, welcome to my blog! Taylor's music is so much deeper than we give her credit for. I'm gonna take you on a tour on hot-taylor-takes version of Taylor's brain. We'll explore all sorts of stuff! I do believe in Gaylor, but not all theories involve that. As these are "hot takes" I expect everyone to be civil and, of course, clowning is encouraged.

Growth!

This is so accurate...

(the forgotten Masc photoshoots)

I believe Taylor has been through 2 attempts to have a Masc Era, with the first starting to be rolled out in late 2014.

Many of us are familiar with the Wonderland photoshoot. It blessed us with some of the best pics of Boyfriend Taylor we’ve ever received. But what if I told you there were others?

This photoshoot was likely done on Sep or Oct of 2014. You all may remember what else was going on in 2014. Big Sur in March, tons of photo shoots of Taylor and Karlie throughout the year, more instances of them stepping out together. They were inseparable all summer.

Then 1989 releases in Nov with its heavily queercoded lyrics and references in Welcome to NY and New Romantics with their explicit support and acknowledgment for queerness.

And right around the time of the amazing Wonderland photoshoot and the 1989 release, Karlie and Taylor were seemingly stepping out together more officially. Like it is so unreal to me that this:

And these:

All happened the same month. But there are also additional photo shoots that happened around this time, or in Nov of 2014 that show that this was not just a single isolated photoshoot.

There were a couple of more neutral or femme shoots that had more masc shots included:

There were also shoots where the expressions, outfits, etc are either more masculine or heavily queerflagging.

But I especially love this British Vogue fashion shoot Taylor did cause it’s such a callback to the original New Romantics, a movement that started out in the UK.

There are just so many good photos in here and I suspect there are other photoshoot goldmines I have yet to discover. So I highly recommend we all do more research because I think there is a lot of Boyfriend Taylor that has been lost (or at least rendered harder to find over the years). I need to do some deeper digging to see what else I can find. (And I haven’t posted em all here cause of picture limits)

I also know a lot of us are Enbylors or non-bilors or whatever our cutesy short name is, and I do think this coupled with a love of the Lover and Folklore era photoshoots where Taylor was styled in a more androgynous or gender experimental way does support that.

And also just realistically the fact that we now have a number of photoshoots from a number of eras that feature Taylor styled in this way; it definitely supports the case that the Wonderland shoot was NOT a single fluke of a shoot where she was styled wholly by someone else because that’s the way they wanted to see her. There is a continued queering of Taylor’s wardrobe and image that likely was at least approved if not suggested by Taylor’s team, and by Taylor herself.

So if we have all of these shoots in the latter half of 2014, and there was so much hinting that Taylor was lgbtq at this time…

What happened?

Kissgate.

I believe Taylor and Karlie had a very specific, measured plan in place to allow people to get more comfy with the idea they might be together, and Kissgate was too much, too fast, and caused too much backlash. And that caused one or both of them to want to hide again.

Where could we have been now if Kissgate had been lauded and not made into a controversial thing?

Rest of the post is in the reblog because this IS THE HELL SITE

[aerinmoriarty]

I will die on the hill that Gaylorism performs the critical function of documenting, archiving, and analyzing one of the most influential queer artists of all time *while she's still alive* which is exceptionally rare and also valuable for future queer historians.

Queer people always have and always will make a considerable portion of our media. Throughout history, most have waited until late in life to come out, or they are outed posthumously. Whitney Houston, Sally Ride, Pee Wee Herman, Luther Vandross, Rock Hudson & many, many more queer performers were only able to have their work & lives interpreted through a queer lens after they were no longer with us.

In addition, because of the myriad references to queer history and queer persons in her corpus, it's common for Gaylors to report learning a lot about queer art, publications, events & icons. Even those of us who have taken courses on queer media and history learn so much in the process of researching Taylor's work.

And because of the scope of Taylor's career & body of work is so large, untangling the threads is impossible for one person alone. I've referred to this as the World's Biggest Group Project & in participating in this project, many of us find the queer community and friendship that we have always longed for.

[aerinmoriarty]

I often say that Gaylor is the World's Largest Group Project, because we cannot solve it all on our own, and because I believe that it is as much about connecting with compassionate community as it is about solving the puzzle that is Taylor Swift.

Reblog if you've found friendship because of your fandoms.

[pokeybananas]

Alrighty folks, buckle up, because I googled "Taylor Swift Wonderland music video" and have fallen down a as of yet unsolved Eras tour puzzle/ one of the greatest theories I've ever heard!

[aerinmoriarty]

Wait wait wait... holy fucking shitballs y'all, is this right??

Did Taylor Swift sincerely do a Leaping Lesbian before climbing The Ladder to her Lavender Haze every night? LIKE EVERY NIGHT?! Are you seriously fucking with me!?

(The Ladder is one of the first lesbian publications)

WE CAN'T KEEP LETTING HER GET AWAY WITH THIS lol

I saw this image together as one blurb in this article and I literally spit my drink.

she did this every fucking night y'all i just cant with her lol

I hope she is out of the well of loneliness 😭

[pokeybananas]

Hello again and welcome to, "I'm slowly starting to come out of my hole of depression but Gaylor is lifestyle at this point"

Where I screenshot the one of the two r/GaylorSwift subreddits and post them here!

[aerinmoriarty]

Yall… I think I know what new Era we are in..

Or rather what old Era Taylor was forced to abort before it was fully announced.

You see, the way Taylor enunciates “mascara” in the two songs it appears in has always stuck in my brain.

She’s saying Masc Era.

Like…

Masc Era.

She could feel the Masc Era run in Right Where You Left Me because she wasn’t able to come out of the closet so she had to put her hopes of a Masc Era on hold.

And I believe she’s done this twice.

Once the Masc Era was cancelled because KimYe and the resulting incidents that would lead to Reputation… she couldn’t come out when she was already so hated.

Then again when the Masters Heist happened and she had to pivot the Lover release to be straight.

We’re seeing Blazers again so much recently because we are back in the Masc Era.
