HERE WE GO!!

I was a functioning alcoholic til nobody noticed my new aesthetic….

Dear god the HAIRPINS. So many hairpins! She literally wears an absurd amount in the Fortnight video. Also she made it abundantly obvious on this album that the stories and her dating life don’t match up…

Half moonshine, full eclipse // crowd goes wild at her fingertips….

UNFURLING OF A BALLERINA BUN AFTER A LONG PERFORMANCE.

Also the article literally talks about poets and their muses which is before the drop…

Me thinks now even more than before this article was so planned and she was in on it.

CHAOS. DEMON.

The straightest Taylor Swift songs

1.Betty: Writing a song about yearning for a woman is such a hetrosexual thing to do.

2. Marron: Yes because most straight men have scarlet lips.

3.Wonderland: It’s a complete coincidence that Diana had her wonderland tattoo removed right after this song was released. 

4.The Man: Because most straight women wish they could brag about getting bitches and models.

5.Don’t Blame Me: I don’t know what you're talking about being in a straight relationship is totally falling from grace.

6.Hits Different: Because wanting to melt another girl's world is extremely straight.

7.Dress:  Wanting to date your best friend is such hetrosexual behavior right? Right?

8.Gorgeous: Because it makes total sense why it would be worse for a man to not have a girlfriend than to be single.

9.Now That We Don’t Talk: Because it’s completely logical for “Truth is I can’t pretend it’s platonic it’s just ended” to be written by a straight woman about a straight man.

10.Daylight: “I used to think love would be black and white but it’s golden.” is such a straight lyric to write.

11.I Know Places: Because every straight person has to worry about people finding out about their relationship with their partner.

12.End Game: Because her being in a relationship with a man no ones ever heard of would be a big conversation.

13.Illicit Affairs: Again having to hide a relationship is such hetrosexual behavior.

14.Question: Because a hetrosexual relationship is totally going against gender norms and is not at all considered suitable and right

15.Ours: Because most hetrosexual couples have to deal with people disapproving of their relationship.

16.How You Get The Girl: Because most straight women are extremely familiar with how to get the girl. 

17.Out Of The Woods: “The rest of the world was black and white but we were in screaming color” is such a straight lyric you guys.

18.All Of The Girls You Loved Before: Because “all of the girls you’ve loved before made you the one I’ve fallen for” makes total grammatical sense for it to be about a man.

19.Glitch: Because it’s so common for a straight relationship to start off as them supposed to be just friends.

20.The Very First Night: Because there is no reason as to why “they don’t know how much I miss you” breaks the whole flow of the song.

So hang on, hang on, lemme make sure I’m getting this right. So she’s in a psych ward. In a wedding gown. And she takes the “miracle move on drug” the “forget him” pill of which the effects are temporary. Right, right. And then she’s set free, and immediately walks into a sterile office in a VICTORIAN MOURNING gown! And sits down to start working away on her typewriter. She’s writing, and she loves her muse, and it’s ruining her life. Okay. And then she and the muse are laying on the papers, in love. The pages of her work, her diary, her songs, THE FILES!! And they’re together, and the pages are flying around them, blocking them from the camera, okay? You still with me? She reaches for the muse and then she’s getting electric shock therapy?? With curly hair?? Okay. Okay. And again, loving the muse is ruining her life. And all the doctors, the people closest to her, run away scared when the electricity short circuits or whatever, and the muse is the only one who notices and stops it from killing her!!! The muse is in a (glass) phone booth, and Taylor is sitting right on top, but out of view from the muse. And they are in the middle of NOWHERE. The rust that grew between telephones??? And then we’re back in the office, and she’s pulling all the files out of the drawers!! In the mourning gown again!!! And she’s letting them out, ruining the sterility, and she’s freaking out, sobbing. And then she’s facing the camera, stone cold, letting the files swirl around her, now out in the open ON FIRE I MIGHT ADD. And back in the psych ward in the wedding dress, she breaks the glass to escape, to bolt?? And then, once the files are free, once the glass is broken, once the muse steps out of the glass!! Then she can touch the muse. Then she can touch the muse. Somebody give me an oxygen mask, holy shit

If you think Taylor's boot heel broke on accident, think again

Let's think about what has been happening lately. Taylor and Travis have been ALL OVER the news with their little kissies and public appearances and it has been driving all us lesbians inSANE, right? Almost like Taylor has 'turned heel' on us.

Note how it says "just for show"? Just like all of her showy public appearances with Kelce and the lyric changes and all that bullshit. She's performing a heel turn like in wrestling. Well. The breaking heel is a message. Taylor is letting us know it is almost time for her to turn face again. The "heel era" is breaking. Travis is not long for this world of publicity.

As a bonus, I want to note that I got THIS as a reply on one of my posts 19 days ago.

Interesting coincidence, right? Well, maybe. I don't want to assume this user was trying to warn me about the boot incident but it's really hard to ignore, right? Someone knew about this and wanted us to watch out for the sign, maybe?

I wanna see a Stranger Things fic where the party is trying to figure out why Steve and Eddie are suddenly so close and one day while they're all speculating, Will just walks up to steddie and asks some queer coded question like— okay, here

As the party mumbled, Will stared at the two boys. They seemed... close. Closer than him and Mike ever were, but around where Will wanted to be with Mike.

Wait...

Will walked toward them, even as the party whisper yelled after him, asking what he was doing and telling him to stop.

"Oh, hey little Byers," Eddie greeted.

"Are you two friends with Dorothy?" Will asked, albeit a bit abruptly. He saw Eddie's face morph into a smile.

"Yes, indeed we are," Eddie said joyfully. "Are you friends with Dorothy?"

"Uh... well, I–" Will's panic was saved by Steve.

"I'm sorry, I don't know a Dorothy?"

"He's asking if we're gay," Eddie explained.

"Ohh," Steve drew out. "Yeah."

"Cool."

And with that Will turned around and walked back to the party.

"You guys can stop speculating, I know why they're so close all of the sudden," Will said, getting all of their attention.

"What? You were over there for like 30 seconds," Dustin criticized.

"Well what is it?" Max asked.

"Oh, I can't tell you," Will said, "It's between friends."

PSA because I'm fucking tired of saying this

If you've ever thought that Taylor is straight, you have speculated on her sexuality.

If you've ever debated if a song is about harry vs joe, you have speculated on her sexuality.

If you've ever gushed about how her and travis are so real and they're going to get married and have babies, YOU HAVE SPECULATED ON HER SEXUALITY.

The only reason you have a problem with gaylors is because because you think being queer is bad. Thinking that makes you homophobic.

Being queer is fucking awesome.

Being queer is beautiful.

Being queer is a gift.

Getting through the album and WOW

Is it just me or is she raging at all of the fans/media, people in the industry, who have kept her….caged? Her relationship with the world as Taylor TM?!

This album ain’t about MH or JA or a love interest… oh no.

Holy shit. She’s pissed. I’m here for it. We love you girl. 🫶🏼

[wefelldowntherabbitthole]

she was so far out of the closet at this point its crazy how some people can still deny it

[bettyshoweduptotheparty]

Haven’t seen this on here yet so here’s a reminder of the time Taylor depicted herself as one of the few depictions of Sappho in the willow music video. In a glass closet no less 🤭

You know what? I have become a gaylor sympathiser

This is going to be a long post, sorry! Please read the full post before even thinking about commenting.

Over the past few days I’ve seen a few posts on my dash about taylor swift and her fans that have left a bad taste in my mouth.

I know that a lot of people think that some fans of her are “trying to make her gay” and I just wanted to put the record straight and defend some people after actually looking at what’s going on. And I know I’m probably opening myself up for tumblr’s poor reading comprehension but before I start I’m going to say this:

I do not think taylor swift is a lesbian

Ok? Now let’s have a conversation.

First of all from what I’ve seen most of the fans who talk about Taylor swift and queerness do it from a point of literary analysis and learning queer history. This is a huge part of the community and lots of people have said that they never would have learnt so much about queer history without reading taylor swift’s works through a queer lens.

Adding on to that point, it seems a little hypocritical for the gay site which loves queer readings of books, tv shows, songs, musicals, films etc to be bullying a pretty small group of people who are mainly doing queer readings of lyrics. Especially when those people get near constant death threats. Instead of bullying these people (who don’t think or do what you think they think and do) why don’t you go outside and think “does this affect me? No. Do I agree with them? No. Am I going to cyber bully them because of this? No.”

Secondly, for the people who believe that any speculation on a real persons sexuality is 100% wrong. I used to think this too but I have changed my mind a bit about this recently after stopping and thinking about it properly. I’m not trying to change your mind at all I just want you to stop and think for a minute.

If you only get mad when speculation is queer in nature, then maybe think about that for a minute. Why is it totally wrong to think a person might be queer. We probably do it in our daily lives with people we know and they likely do it with us, back in the day that’s how queer people found each other-by speculating on sexuality. Would you be upset if you found out someone that you know thought you might be queer? I wouldn’t, maybe you would but if you would, why? Why is it terrible to think someone might be queer (this is NOT about hounding a person to admit to being queer like shawn mendes, this is just thinking in your head and on your small blog that the person will likely never see). Also this is literally the website where we talk about historical (real people) being gay even when they would have never said something to the equivalent.

An addition to this point before people start saying in the comments is that this is NOT the same situation as with kit connor. The issue there was people assuming that he was straight and taking that role away from a queer person. Speculating that he was queer was the opposite of what happened in that situation. So this is not an example of what happens when you speculate queerness.

Final things to say:

1) don’t believe every post you see with someone looking insane about taylor swift being gay, a lot of them are fake.

2) before anyone says “they should listen to real queer artists instead” most of them very much do. There’s a lot of fans of Hayley kiyoko, girl in red, Janelle monae, tegan and sara, zolita, kehlani etc.

3) there are some queer flags that are there. Sorry but there are. Hairpin drops, lavender, the ladder, flag colours, songs about women, friend of dorothy reference. Whether they are intentional is a different matter.

4) shipping real people is not what is happening for the majority of the people in the community. Also this comes back to queer vs straight again. Plenty of swifties ship taylor with men she’s been seen with and no one goes into their inboxes and sends death threats even when they are the ones making taylor swift all about the men she may or may not have dated.

5) taylor swift has never stated her sexuality. I know this may be hard to belive based off of how some people act, but it’s true. She has made vague statements which could have many meanings but she has never clearly stated anything. When gaylors get upset with taylor it is not because she said she is straight, it’s because they are getting death threats and doxxed and she seems to either be unaware of it (which is unlikely given how she seems to be a little terminally online) or she doesn’t care enough to tell her fans to stop.

6) if she does explicitly say she’s straight then there will probably be disappointment in her use of queer history and flags and her potential queer erasure (as we saw with lavender haze, with straight women describing their relationships as lavender) and centring herself in queer spaces (like the you need to calm down music video) but no one will be angry that she’s not gay. And a lot will probably be grateful that she actually explicitly stated for the record to absolve any confusion. The main issue would likely be other fans ramping up the death threats and bullying.

In conclusion: these people who do queer analysis of Taylor’s work are not trying to out her or make her gay etc. if you don’t understand it that’s fine it’s clearly not for you and you can go quite easily without seeing any of it. It’s not illegal to read works through a queer lens and if it means more people know about queer history then I think that’s a very good thing.

I changed my mind after looking at what a lot of people are actually saying rather than what people perceive them to be saying and maybe you will too?

Just be kinder to people online please and if you don’t like what people are saying block them and do not engage!
