Something I thought of for explaining the wlw reading of “argumentative antithetical dream girl” line to hetlors: flip it. Make it: “I could still rock your nights; argumentative antithetical dream guy.”

It still makes sense, doesn’t it? Therefore, it makes perfect sense that she could be addressing that line to a woman.

Yes, this is a great point!

Whether or not anyone from Taylor’s team actually spoke to CNN about the NYT article, let’s all be reminded that:

* Nobody speculated on Taylor’s sexuality. The author points out various ways in which Taylor flags queerness in her art and that suggests to queer people that she may be one of us. That’s not a speculation, that’s fact.

* The article is also largely about closeting in the entertainment industry. And that’s still very common (also fact) whether you like it or not.

* This beautifully written and heartfelt article makes a point for the kind of world that queer people deserve to live in. If you call that ‘inappropriate’ I think that says a lot…

And maybe most importantly: IF SHE WAS AN ALLY SHE WOULD NOT BE OFFENDED TO BE ASSUMED QUEER! Being gay is not offensive and if you think otherwise, that’s homophobia.

At no point does the author dig into her muses or speculate on who she might be dating. That’s a level of journalistic professionalism that a lot of lesser publications could learn from.

Anna Marks (if that is your name) you are a brilliant writer and journalist, and I hope you do not take any criticism from old white men on CNN!

Before anyone comes with that quote that y’all love to dig up from the time capsule:

She’s always been an ally to the LGBTQ community. She just never made it a spectacle as a lot of her peers do. This is the same person who insinuated Joe Alwyn encouraged her to speak up about US politics.

Taylor Swift isn’t stupid—she’s aware of the implications of her actions. This awareness has helped her to be as successful as she is. Why do you think she made that speech about her concerts being a safe space when she got backlash for “dating” MH? Him allegedly being on Slut! and removed?

Y’all love to take that quote and twist it into a narrative about being naive.

Don’t forget how she also said gay pride makes her her.

How she had a gay pride parade in the Me! video.

How she said “spelling is fun” as a way to ask if she has to spell it out, but y’all didn’t get it, so she took it out of the song.

How at TIFF, she gave a veiled statement about closeting and people laughed thinking she was making a joke. Her reaction to the laughter.

Look at how many of y’all say the Lover era was her worst era fashion wise. It’s interesting, because she was wearing a lot of rainbow in that era.

Y’all love to forget that.

Y’all also love to bring up Hayley Kiyoko and Lil Nas X as examples of why Taylor can just “come out” and won’t see any backlash.

When Hayley and Nas began their careers, they began them as out queer artists and not in country music. Nas is an openly queer artist in the hip hop industry and by all really think he has it easy?

Taylor could’ve easily still been dominating country music. But she chose to leave that genre of music. She would’ve never been able to do an album like 1989, folklore or evermore in that genre because she wouldn’t have had the lyrical freedom. She had to fight Scott Borchetta for 1989 to even be what it is.

Exactly this.

Also, I would like to add a question to swifties who refuse to see her.

What do you think this moment during anti-hero on tour is about? Why do you think she has a gigantic version of herself literally screaming at people in the audience to LOOK AT HER while the version of her on stage is performing? What could possibly be the explanation for this?

The longest I've been able to go without coffee is two weeks and I was a kicking nightmare to deal with

Always support the 3 G's

The girls, the gays and the goths

They can deny all they want but Taylor’s own words told the story

'tis the damn season // suburban legends

To those who insist Taylor is referring to herself when she says "argumentative antithetical dream girl"…. in what universe would she be so egotistical as to proclaim herself a dream girl, especially when: 1. She already clearly referred to her muse just three lines earlier when she said "dreams of your hair and your stare and sense of belief"

2. She already clearly referred to herself as "an asshole outlaw" in the previous verse

my favorite lead singles (1/5) | it must be exhausting, always rooting for the anti-hero.

There needs to be a study about the kenification of barbie and the travisification of swifties. You're telling me two women dominate the year 2023 like no other, standing for female empowerment and the movement of women and girls all over the world realising that being feminine is ok but the outcome is that everyone talks about their men? A MAN????? when SHE is there???

a true friend will see all the most vulnerable, dark, sorrowful parts of you and love you the same if not even more after seeing them

EXACTLY this!

reblog if you’re NOT tumblr famous, but you ARE tired and kinda gay

This is so accurate

DID YALL NOT WATCH THE ANTI HERO SCREEN AT ERAS?? NM I know you didn’t 🤨

Stealing this outfit for the summer

(Also... has she been wearing the same bag?)

this is how i dress when i want people to speculate on my sexuality

"I think they've been together awhile and she's finally ready to show him off"

Who are you talking to rn?? Awhile?? Bc "awhile" ago yall couldn't accept toe broke up. And then you defended Matty. Make. Up. Your. Mind.

I didn't see caffeine as a drug until I realized I could quit alchohol and weed any time but I can't go a damn day without coffee or energy drinks

People are so weird about anything that makes you high to the point of wanting the chronically ill to suffer more. “Just take OTC painkillers 🙄”

Many of us do. Do you know how damaging that is to the body? To take every damn day, round the clock? Ever think that’s why many spoonies have to have a strategy, constantly rotating drugs?

It’s literally not the end of the world if a spoonie needs to consume cannabis in order to more effectively manage pain and other symptoms (weed SAVES my ass from persistent daily nausea. I wouldn’t be able to eat otherwise).

It’s especially weird when people are anti-any-pain-med-that-has-a-high when they’re guzzling caffeine drinks. They really can’t pretend it’s out of concern and “worrying about the dangers of addiction.” Quit coffee, then, Susan! And get back to me in a week, tell me how you feel.

reblog to claim og wonderland stan status before tay’s version goes absolutely insanely crazyyy that song will never be background material she deserves front center

Ok but it’s actually so funny. This is so clearly a big PR push by the NFL to appeal to women.

Observations from lurking:

It amazes me how the know-it-all swifties vying for the title of Taylor’s favorite fan bestie on the former bird app have no idea how PR works (not that I’m an expert) but were world-renowned scholars about it back in May.

From what I gather by their logic, it’s PR (or “clout chasing”) when it’s someone they don’t like or who they no longer like. Remember how Toe was the greatest thing since sliced bread for 6 years and her “savior”? Now he’s a “jobless loser” who “didn’t let Taylor bejeweled”. Lol

The comment that irks me the most is one where someone said:

“They’re the last people to need a PR relationship”

Again…walk with me here. Grab a jacket because those fall temps are hitting in some places. Plus, aesthetic. lol

Travis, an NFL player, signed with CAA in May for representation off the field. Who is Travis Kelce outside of the NFL? He isn’t going to play football forever. Athletes build brands just as musicians and actors/actresses do.

He mentioned the friendship bracelet thing on his podcast in July. It got attention.

So what would his off the field representation do? Capitalize on it. It’s like when someone goes viral doing something funny—all of a sudden, they’re scoring brand deals, etc. because some company sees a way to profit from it.

Why would they capitalize on the bracelet story? To build his platform.

How do they capitalize on it? By emphasizing the fact that he went to the one of the biggest tours this year by one of the biggest artists of the year.

Because their job is to secure endorsement deals, etc. for him. They make money when he makes money. If they aren’t doing their job to his standards, they get fired. If they get fired, the money stops coming from him.

Their website literally says:

In addition to draft preparation and contract negotiation, we provide elite athletes with top-of-the-line marketing services. Our commitment to client service is reflected in everything we do.

Since CAA represents top talent across film, television, broadcasting, music and digital, we can create one-of-a-kind opportunities and partnerships for football clients.

Ask yourselves—how much have you ever heard about Taylor during an NFL game or even in the same sentence as the NFL before this? Only that she turned down the half time show, right? Or if someone was trying to be funny and make a joke about her at her expense.

However, after the rumors started, all you heard were puns about her in reference to who? Travis.

All the headlines today have done what? Mentioned how Travis “pursued” her as if it were some decades long mission, when this all came about from a story he told…in July.

Watch. You will see articles about “who are Travis & Jason Kelce” or “Who is Donna Kelce”—again, building the platform and introducing him to an audience outside of football.

After he originally told the bracelet story, he had pretty much left it alone.

Until recently. Comical.

We know Taylor isn’t trying out for the NWSL or WNBA anytime soon. She really only gets a male sports fan audience and she doesn’t even really need that.

Yes, I’m over analyzing. I tend to do that and fully admit it. I’ve been on several hills by myself, quite comfortably. L’s and all.

Btw, there’s even an article about Sophie and Taylor’s dinner outings being a top tier PR move. So why can’t the same be said about this?

IF this whole thing is a PR stunt it's probably to mimic the 1989 era

It’s giving Ken brainwashed Barbie into serving him and now Barbieland is ruined
