#gaylor swift evidence

[old-acc-gaylorscatmeredith]

Hits different is the most explicitly gay song Taylor has ever released

'Bet I could still melt your world, argumentative, antithetical dream girl' she is directly addressing her dream girl here. She's saying she could melt the dream girl's world. Literally what else could that possibly mean?

'I used to switch out these Kens' for what? It could be she's referring to men as Kens because she plays with them like dolls, but specifically 'switch out' rather than 'play with' implies she's switched them out for something else, like another Barbie - something I've found to be a common experience among girls who like girls.

Also 'asshole outlaw' reminds me of her country roots, and country music is generally very homophobic and sexist. She used to comply by these standards and mindsets but not anymore. Now, 'don't need another metaphor, its simple enough' she doesn't need to disguise it as friendship, instead she's writing song explicitly about this dream girl who she's in love with and skipping the metaphors for other more direct references:

Like references to other songs too, like mentions of summer because of Cruel Summer with 'freedom felt like summer ... now the sun burns'. 'I snuck in through the garden gate every night that summer just to seal my fate' when the only garden gate Taylor's been seen around is Karlie's. The matching lyric: 'I'm drunk in the back of the car and I cried like a baby coming home from the bar' matches with 'I never don't cry at the bar ... I slur your name 'til someone puts me in a car' she's drunk and says 'Karlie' or 'Kar' which is mistaken for 'car'.

A New Romantics reference too, which is such a gay anthem I could write a whole other post about it. 'Like waiting for a bus that never comes' is to me a weirdly out of place lyric just like 'we wait for trains that just aren't coming'.

I'd even argue 'I heard your key turn in the door down the hallways/Is it okay? Is it you?/Or have they come to take me away?' is asking if interacting with Karlie at all is okay to do at all, if she can focus on the public drama about them actually being about her and Karlie, when all she can think about is being found out and taken away from her fame and reputation.

Then of course 'each bar plays our song nothing has ever felt so wrong' meaning 'their song' must be a popular and mainstream song to be played at bars so often, or more broadly could mean mainstream love songs in general which are mostly straight and don't feel right to her for some reason. Her friends tell her that's okay because 'love is a lie' but she knows they're only saying it to make her feel better, when that's not the real reason why 'moving on was always easy'.

Despite all the men she never really liked and the love that never felt right to her, this one person 'hits different'. You as the listener have a choice, either hear she's with her dream girl and it feels right, or that she 'just needed to meet the right guy', as straight people tell lesbians their entire lives.

This has been a gaylor essay thank you for reading

I'm sorry but how has no-one noticed how GAYLOR the business insider Kaylor friendship timeline is?

It mentions all the gay stuff at Big Sur (cuddling, daisies, sharing clothes, "take her to big sur", how Taylor's room for Karlie, says Taylor took Karlie as her DATE to the AMAs, covers Kissgate, the Ingrid Michaelson thing, how the BFF video went private, the "my publicist would get mad at me", the river cruise photo, the cornelia street apartment, the polaroids, the folklore photoshoot resemblance...

A GAYLOR wrote that.

[shortkingvi]

me when i write a love song about feeling like i have to compete for someone’s affection because of how wonderful and gorgeous they are and i specifically write the lyric “what must it be like to grow up that beautiful / with your hair falling into place like dominoes” except the song is DEFINITELY about a man….. me when i am taylor swift…

Taylor Swift and the Gaylor Double Standard

In the heteronormative context it takes very little evidence to start dating rumors. Unconfirmed relationships are cemented in approved fan lore. The standard of proof to be considered Taylor Swift’s boyfriend is LOW. And people just chuckle or silently move along with correct or incorrect assumptions of dating status are about men. On the other hand, any of the same or more details about a…

"why do you feel the need to speculate" define speculation for me anon quickly you moron

[i-dont-even-know-anymore976]

just saw a gaylor on twt crashing out that taylor’s not releasing rep tv because it’s her most gay album 😩

which like clearly you’ve missed the entire point of the re-records but frankly even if she did choose not to re-record rep to avoid you guys micro-analysing every breath she takes i wouldn’t blame her !! in fact - i’d rather not get rep tv to avoid it !!

[bemusedlybespectacled]

proposing what I'm going to call Gaylor's Razor, which is: never explain normal shit as being part of a secret message that can only be decoded by over-analysis.

"These Taylor Swift lyrics are actually coded messages saying that she's a lesbian and is forced to stay in the closet! Any lyrics that are clearly about being attracted to a man are just to throw us off the scent!" Sometimes people, like Taylor Swift, are straight and write about being straight, because they are straight.

"The fourth series of Sherlock was deliberately bad because it was actually a coded message to us fans that there is a secret fourth episode that will make Johnlock canon and will actually be good!" Sometimes writers (even experienced writers who are normally good at their jobs) will write something that's not good, because no one is perfect. They're not going to waste everyone's time and money and energy creating something terrible on purpose as part of a grand master plan.

"Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, the Canadian Olympic ice dancers, are secretly married (with kids)! Their public relationships with people who are not each other and them repeatedly saying 'we dated as kids and now we're just friends' are just to hide the truth! Which they need to hide for some reason! Their relationship is obvious just from their physical chemistry when competing! JUST LOOK AT THIS TWO SECOND CLIP OF HIM BLINKING AT HER!" It seems counterproductive to put all that thought into hiding a relationship that doesn't need to be hidden but then also telegraph that same relationship in front of millions of people through planned choreography.

"But BB, what about times that people really are speaking in code or hiding something due to outside influences?"

If it requires huge leaps in logic, like adding all the letters in a sentence together and dividing by seventeen and that number matches the binary sequence for the color yellow so YELLOW MUST BE SIGNIFICANT, it's not a secret code.

If it requires focusing on teeny tiny details but discards huge ones, like analyzing someone's micro-expressions but handwaving away what the person is actually saying out loud with their mouth, or focusing on one specific line instead of the entire scene or song or whatever, it's not a secret code.

If both supporting and contradictory evidence are used to come to the same conclusion (ex: when Taylor says something that I interpret as gay, that means she's gay, and when she says something that I interpret as straight, that still means she's gay and just hiding it), it's not a secret code.

Trying to apply fandom meta analysis techniques to real life is a really good way of fall into conspiratorial thinking that can be easily exploited. You can totally try to predict what's going to happen in a story or choose to interpret a scene in a specific way; you can't do that in real life with real people. That way lies the kind of nonsense that leads to shit like "this image of pizza on a children's toy is actually subliminal messaging by The Cabal™ that proves that Pizzagate is real."

during a powerpoint party last month I did mine on discussing gayl*r evidence and theories and the levels to which their rhetoric resembles apocalyptic cults is genuinely disturbing.

unsurprising! conspiracy thought is conspiracy thought no matter where it's applied!

I think a lot of people come to the mistaken conclusion that I hate Gaylorism so much because of a person disdain for Swift, when in reality it's because I'm DEEPLY troubled by the popularity of something training mostly young, mostly queer, mostly vaguely leftish people to engage in conspiracy think to such an egregious extent.

[roadhogsbigbelly]

speaking of which i do think it's funny seeing gaylors trying to looking for tiniest piece of evidence than taylor allison swift is possibly sapphic only for Megan Thee Stallion to say this shit and for their to be crickets.

The 1989 Era Is Coming Back Around—Rebirth and New Beginnings ☀️🦋

You know what I just realized….Taylor is currently 34 yrs old which means she will be 35 on Dec 13 of this yr. The Manuscript vinyl variant of TTPD is $35 and the standard digital album is $12

I just made a post explaining why I think this album cover represents the acceptance stage of grief and how it’s related to the common expression “You’ve made your bed now lie in it” which means you have to accept the unpleasant results of your actions. We know that midnight or 12:00 is when we meet the real Taylor and when Taylor meets herself and there have been a lot of hints at New Year’s Day, one of the biggest midnights of the yr, being when midnight will happen: 321 happy new yr, 321 exile ends, new yr = rebirth and new beginnings 🦋, glitching back to 1989 era which is the moonstone vinyl, midnights vinyls clock, 12 hrs for 12 months, 12th month is Dec, 8/9/23 surprise songs, “don’t read the last page” connecting to the story of us and the manuscript, etc

So putting all these pieces together I don’t think it’s that much of a reach to conclude that midnight/daylight will happen at the end of this yr in Dec when Taylor is 35 yrs old. The moonstone vinyl/1989 represents the beginning of the yr (Jan-March, 1-3), and if we’re glitching back to 1989 and starting over from the beginning—the 2013 VSFS—then the beginning of 2025 will mark the rebirth/new beginning/new chapter that Taylor has been hinting at!! This is why Taylor has been referencing the 1989 era like crazy lately and why the 1989 tv album cover is the only album cover of hers that she smiles in. She’s literally telling us exactly WHEN midnight will happen

“It’s a clock, it can help you tell time” -> “It’s coming back around” -> Just like a cyclical clock, the 1989 era/moonstone vinyl is coming back around. We’re going back to where it all began

[only-twenty-minutes-to-sleep]

Yeah, this was just me secretly still being salty about Midnights (/gen). Like, she literally wrote a whole song called Lavender Haze about having a boyfriend who isn’t romantic with her at all and at first people were like “wow, Lavender Haze! They’re so in love! He isn’t dramatic like her ex’s” and then people retconned it to be “Joe was inattentive 😢”

Imagine in a few years, Taylor and Travis get married and all the hetlors are like “omg, they’re so in love! They’re perfect for each other!” And then Taylor writes a whole album like “I’m trapped in this prison that I’ve built myself” and “no one knows the real me, no one knows the way I love you” and “his love is lavender” and the Gaylor’s are like “sounds like a lavender marriage, idk” and then all the Hetlors start to viciously attack the Gaylor’s for being “delusional” because lavender relationship “clearly don’t exist” and Taylor would “never do that.”

I've added all of my longform videos that include Gaylor theories into a single playlist.

First off, Taylor Swift Loves Women, which is designed as an introduction to Gaylor and contains a lot of evidence and debunking of common arguments against Gaylorism. It's great for people who are open-minded about Taylor but who might not fully be Gaylors yet.

My Swiftcraft video explains the analytical perspective that i take when analyzing Taylor's work. It includes a long segment on Gaylorism but also has 20 or so other theories and mindsets I use when analyzing her work. This one is especially good for people who want to improve their own theories and get more out of Taylor's work.

A Tale of Two Taylors is an extended breakdown of TTPD as an album, looking at the two major facets of Taylor's personality that exist in constant opposition to one another: Taylor Swift (tm) the Perfectly Perfected Pop Princess and Taylor Swift the Normal Human with Flaws.

The Erasure of Taylor Swift breaks down the current PR relationship between Taylor and Travis, and how Taylors own "fans" regularly ignore Taylor and her work the moment she's in a relationship with a man. I also examine the story she's telling with Performance Artlor.

The Gaylor Perspective on New Romantics is the first episode in a series I'm working on called Lens of Dorothea, where I go through various songs and present a deeper Gaylor interpretation. For this song, I'm specifically relating New Romantics back to New Yorks history as a queer haven, esp during the AIDS epidemic and during the Stonewall Riots.

Finally, Why I'm a Gaylor examines the reasons why I'm Confident Taylor is LGBTQ, why I'm Confident she WANTS Gaylors theorizing about her, and it also overcomes some of the objections to Gaylorism that have emerged since the first video in this series, including "Prologue Prolapse," or the moment Taylor's most virulently bigoted fans showed off their inflamed gaping assholes. It also discusses the Gaylor community and how many of us have made so many great connections and learned so much about Taylor's work via queer history.

And if you like any of these videos, please feel free to share them wherever you may congregate with other Gaylors.

i lied. anyway i think now i’ve cracked the code. taylor, despite making incredibly mediocre music and generally not being an interesting artist, as well as a billionaire (inherently evil), is actively practicing some kind of sympathetic magic and imbuing her music with it, like she said on the album, puttng narcotics in her songs. but this witchcraft is very specifically tailored to charm every listener into identifying her generic lyrics with their specific situation/identity/interest, moreso than most other pop artists. that’s where gaylors and ‘autismlors’ (neurodivergent girls who armchair-diagnose taylor with autism, you’d be surprised how many there are) etc come from. they genuinely see themselves and their niche experiences in her lyrics and grow to believe that she is part of their community.

that’s why they start noticing cryptic symbolism as evidence of their theories (‘lavender haze’ signifying that she’s queer comes to mind) — her iconography and lore is so expansive that there is something for a person of virtually any demographic to latch on to and demonstrate as ‘proof’ that she is [insert label here]. this works wonders for marketability and popularity — every one of these demographics flock to purchase her albums and buy tickets to her shows because that’s not Pop Star Taylor Swift, that’s their icon. your own personal jesus, like depeche mode said? no, your own personal taylor.

how did i come to this conclusion? well, i have the misfortune of being a big fan of the 60-year-old sci-fi shitshow Doctor Who (it’s been my autistic special interest for 5 months now). and listening to TTPD, i found myself believing that taylor is also a fan and the relationship between a companion and the doctor is what the lyrics of Down Bad are based on (won’t go into detail, for more info literally just scroll down to my previous post). of course i didn’t really believe that, but the seed of “what if?” was already planted in my mind. and that’s when it clicked. this is the interest i’m most focused on right now, so i see it in taylor’s lyrics. a young queer girl from middle america who’s just come out will be heavily focused on her newfound identity, so of course she’ll see it in taylor’s lyrics.

this theory is semi-serious. i don’t actually believe in things like this. but if she had entered into a soul contract with some strange deity of musical correspondence. would you really be surprised?

Resharing because of all the hetlors in the gaylor tag thinking they really ate with their brainless takes
