So My Immediate Thought When Watching The Interview With Colbert, Is That I Feel Like The Bit About “hey

So my immediate thought when watching the interview with Colbert, is that I feel like the bit about “hey Stephen” being about him, and there being all this evidence (as a bit) and her denying it, is like a parallel to all of the gaylor/kaylor evidence and then everyone (including Taylor via her pr narrative) denying it.

She says to him that if she were going to write a song about him she wouldn’t name it after him, that would be too obvious. She says songwriting “is in the details”. She even lists things that she would say about him like him being on tv, on the daily show, being 5’11” etc. when she said “I love you on the tv” it immediately made me think of “you’re a queen selling dreams, selling make up and magazines”.

At another point she describes where his exact location is in New York, which immediately made me think of “you’re the west village”. Another detail that shows the truth of a song.

The basic take away of too-obvious titles, and the truth being in the details of the song, is so LOUD. It reinforces the falseness of all of the anachronisms that we’ve been pointing out in her last four albums. Songs said to be about toe, but whose details only actually work with Karlie. Or songs that are said to be about straight relationships, but whose details seem to clearly suggest a wlw relationship. For instance, Cardigan referencing “high heels on cobblestones” and James in Betty singing “I was walking home on broken cobblestones”. The truth is in the details

Also the comment about too-obvious titles vs details made me cackle about London Boy 😂 it really is Blank Space 2.0

God there are so many other examples... “looking out the window like I’m not your favorite town/I’m New York City/I still do it for you baby” when joe has stated New York is definitely not his favorite city, but a certain lady loves it. “I’m so mystified by how this city screams your name”, etc.

She keeps giving us entire albums that are the equivalent of lyrical mood boards, covered in photos of Karlie (plus some of Emily and Sue, and other sapphic icons/characters) and then says “no I don’t know what you’re talking about, it’s from a male perspective”. And it’s so obvious that it’s a joke, just like this bit. It also stood out to me that there was audible laughter from the crew members in the studio(s). Which felt like it echoed all of us, watching Taylor pull gayer and gayer songs, themes, imagery with each album, then saying “where?” with a semi straight face, just redirecting the gps attention. And us sitting back in astonishment and delirious laughter asking “how can they not see it??”

Fabricating her own demise at the moment…or genuinely happy in the ultimate masculine football fantasy??

It’s interesting to me how the interpretations of Ms. Swift are so much better deduced by people who hear her songs on the radio, or whatever, (you get me), versus my own ones…a longtime fan and genuine supporter for almost two decades; one who has studied and like - lip synced the absolute shit out of EVERY SINGLE SONG in this woman’s discography since 2008 and analyzed her PR game like a game of mother fucking scrabble…

Tree would shut any of this homosexuality shit down in a sec if a shred of it wasn’t true.

C’mon. Like nooooooo famous celebrity in the history of Hollywood or music industry was gay?!?!?! 🙉 When I propose the idea that T Swizzle could be a right queer, the normals shut it down immediately - these are people who don’t even “like” her or her music! 😂 They’re like, “Taylor Swift isn’t that good” I’m like - check it out from a queer perspective they’re like wow, that’s pretty fucked up if you look how many dudes she has been with I can’t believe you would think that about Taylor Swift I don’t appreciate her talent and have never listened to an album the whole way through but I will defend her heterosexuality till the end, man.

😅😅

I mean EVERYONE in drama class was queer. Like all of us lol. But somehow only the STRAIGHT PEOPLE had the drive to pursue their dreams and become successful entertainers?!? 😅 looool. No man; the straight kids were home playing house pretending happiness; the atypicals were out MAKING THE WORLD HAPPEN.

No man. They beard with each other. Did you SEE the latest promos of our girl and flamy football dude? 😜😜

Reminder that capitalism is the death of art

I’ve seen the Ursula K LeGuin quote about capitalism going around, but to really appreciate it you have to know the context.

The year is 2014. She has been given a lifetime achievement award from the National Book Awards. Neil Gaiman puts it on her neck in front of a crowd of booksellers who bankrolled the event, and it’s time to make a standard “thank you for this award, insert story here, something about diversity, blah blah blah” speech. She starts off doing just that, thanking her friends and fellow authors. All is well.

Then this old lady from Oregon looks her audience of executives dead in the eye, and says “Developing written material to suit sales strategies in order to maximize corporate profit and advertising revenue is not the same thing as responsible book publishing or authorship.”

She rails against the reduction of her art to a commodity produced only for profit. She denounces publishers who overcharge libraries for their products and censor writers in favor of something “more profitable”. She specifically denounces Amazon and its business practices, knowing full well that her audience is filled with Amazon employees. And to cap it off, she warns them: “We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art. Very often in our art, the art of words.”

Ursula K LeGuin got up in front of an audience of some of the most powerful people in publishing, was expected to give a trite and politically safe argument about literature, and instead told them directly “Your empire will fall. And I will help it along.”
