Whether Or Not Anyone From Taylor’s Team Actually Spoke To CNN About The NYT Article, Let’s All Be

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!

The Sparkly Lavendar Purple Goo that keeps Taylor Swift alive, a hypothesis 🧐:

Alright we all picked up on the repeat visual of the sparkly purple goo that comes out of Taylor in Anti Hero as a visual representation of her queerness BUT I really watched again and I have some *thoughts* I’m gonna dump into the ether

First time we see the Goo is almost immediately, as Taylor cracks open an over easy Egg. She seems perplexed by it and a little bit disgusted—what are eggs? The beginning of all mammalian life. To me, this reads as Taylor acknowledging her queerness from birth and being confused and scared and maybe even grossed out by it at first, which given the time period she was a child is VERY on point

The Sparkly Lavendar Purple Goo That Keeps Taylor Swift Alive, A Hypothesis 🧐:

Next time we see it is when she’s sneaking into the party trying to be a normal human woman, and instead causes a scene that scares people to the point she gets shot with an arrow directly into her heart. She begins leaking the same purple goo that came out of the egg

The Sparkly Lavendar Purple Goo That Keeps Taylor Swift Alive, A Hypothesis 🧐:

She is surprised she was shot, she even takes the time to show everyone that she is bleeding out this purple sparkle goo and no one reacts to help, besides to be grossed out

The Sparkly Lavendar Purple Goo That Keeps Taylor Swift Alive, A Hypothesis 🧐:

Her solution isn’t to yell at or question the people who shot her, but rather to cover up her literal bleeding heart with a button

The Sparkly Lavendar Purple Goo That Keeps Taylor Swift Alive, A Hypothesis 🧐:

This whole scene reads to me as her becoming louder with her queerness as she aged, and it scaring the shit out of the adults/people around her. *Again, when she was young, it was not acceptable to be openly gay, it just wasn’t* They panic and maybe tell her it’s a phase, not to talk about it, and eventually over time, when it becomes apparent it’s not a phase, she is forced into closeting. Any hopes of living a life true to her gay ass purple heart is silenced by the need to win awards and make money for literally hundreds of other people (vote for me for everything so I can become famous and rich for many other people that are counting on me)

The final time we see the purple goo is after she’s been drinking more than she seems to want to, and after she’s drunk, she pukes purple goo all over the lap of Performance Taylor

The Sparkly Lavendar Purple Goo That Keeps Taylor Swift Alive, A Hypothesis 🧐:

She has tried her entire career to hide her true purple sparkle heart, but when her inhibitions are lowered when she drinks, it all comes pouring out of her into the lap of the sexy cool girl hetero character she’s been forced to play—ruining the mirage, the bait and switch, the performance with her super gay truth. It’s a lot, and it hurts my heart for her, what a life she’s lived

Bonus Purple Goo Point that I don’t know exactly what to do with: In The Man, her wall pee is the same sparkly purple 🧐 which was a choice and possibly ab Easter egg for Anti Hero visuals

The Sparkly Lavendar Purple Goo That Keeps Taylor Swift Alive, A Hypothesis 🧐:

Thanks for letting me think out loud here 💜

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???

okay you know that one game you’d play on the playground with friends where one person was designated as the “watcher” and everyone had to move around when the watcher wasn’t looking, and freeze if they were? and if the watcher caught you moving you were out of the game?

please rb for sample size 💔💔
