Honestly, I completely understand why Taylor Swift would hide her queerness. Not only because is the safest option for her but because she is a petty queen. Imagine being told you have to hide who you are to archieve your dreams. Then you worked hard and followed the rules. You get crushed sometimes, but that is okay, because you recover and go back bigger than ever. You live your love in secret, hiding in plan sight, only for the ones that are like you to see. Then you are higher than you ever been. You are not great but the greatest.
Now you reveal your queerness. Completely out for everyone to see, there is no deniying it now, it is imposible to do so.
Imagine crushing the persona that everyone has admired. Imagine destroying the God they have created and worshipped, the one that you hated so much, just by being yourself.
What a beautiful satisfying revenge would be to change the paradigma so quikly, just by being freely and unshamedly yourself. What an amazing feeling would be to laugh at everyones face by saying: "hey, the thing you have adored all your life, she doesnt exist. I have been lying to you in order to be loved, and the people you call dumb or crazy or delusional for reading what I was saying, for seeing through my lies were right"
By the way, this is kind of the premise of mastermind and dear reader (and the midnights album as a whole). Just in case you were wondering.
So, aparently and according to Closer, Travis is having doubts about Taylor and their relationship. The articule says he still loves her but the public talking about how they may be pr and the rumour about her marriage with Joe (that is confirmed by Tree Pain to not be true) are messing with him.
The articule is very detailed, almost as if they read the mind of Kelce, and I cannot help but ask, how would they know? What I am trying to say is, this really looks like they are trying to craft a narrative around their relationships. The magazine is most likely not making that up, but been told by sources from Taylor and Travis team.
This is all really campy and reminds me of the Tom Hiddleston pre-reputation pr stunt, and it completely makes sense for them to do that.
If we take a closer look to Taylors public persona during the re recording era, she really tried and recreate her public dating life for the time of the albums original release when the re recording was going to be released. Previously to Speak Now TV she dated Matty Healy, a really cuestionable guy that swifties dont like. Pre 1989TV release she started being a lot more public with friends and starting dating Kalce out of the blue, which really draws paralels to her girlsquad and her relationship with Harry Styles or Calvin Harris, I am not really sure which one she might be recreating (and maybe Kelce is the mix of both Styles and Harris).
Now, in the pre reputation era, and if this pattern is not me reading a lot into her every move, it makes a lot of sense that Kelce has now gone from the character of Styles/Harris of 1989 to the Tom Hiddleston of reputation, all public and unashamed.
I dont know where she is going with all this public performances she is making, and maybe Travlor is a real, genuine, happy relationship (which good for her because everyone deserves true, happy, genuine love) but that is my take on it.
Just seen a post about not tagging your gaylor publications with the Taylor Swift tag so you dont get trouble, and I completely respect that. Is a great way to avoid problems with hetlors and people that only what to spread hate.
However, I am a Taylor Swift fan. My post is about Taylor Swift. I made post about Taylor, her art and her public performances. I have the right to use the Taylor Swift tag and I will (but it is perfectly okay not to use it to avoid hetlors and stuff).
Just because the analisys I have doesnt aling with the mayority of the fandom doesnt mean is less valid or punisheable. Seing and pointing out the flagging is not harmful, the queer flagging is there for a reason (and most definitely, on propouse).
My gaylor post are about Taylor Swift like are the ones about Travlor and Haylor (and they all have the same speculative nature), so I have the right to use the Taylor Swift tag as much as I want without getting any hate
Seeing that I thought, isnt midnights an experimental album that has songs written all throught Taylor life?? The ones that she is confessing all her truth (or the one she wants to share)?? If that is correct, then what she is impliying is that all her music, more specifically, the vault tracks, are her real thruth. To me, it just feels like a call for us to listen to her music and what she writes about (she is first and foremost a storyteller) more than about the narrative that she so loudly sells to the world.
Also, being a little bit more delusional, I think at the end of it, we will get out of the night and step into the daylight, whatever that means. For my personal bias, I think is a coming out of some short or something like that, but I think she is going to reveal some kind of groundbraking truth when this era is over.
So, I am reading the Taylor Swift person of the year article and it was only when she signed a new record deal that she was given more creative freedom. Then the lover era started, the queerest era, when she was supposed to come out. In the exact moment she had the chance to come out safely she tried. I have been crying for about 5 minutes.
Soooo, I am noticing we all had a glitch in the livestreams...
I am really thankful for all the Taylor Swift content we have gotten this year and we, as a fanbase, are not entitled to anything and should be thankful for the records we already got this year (and we are). That being said, I am kind of sad and dissapointed that Reputation TV was not anounce tonight
Taylor pointing at Travis during blank space should be enough proof about it being pr. Like, are you telling me that pointing at the man she is suposedly dating during a song that satirizes her public relationships is cute and romantic??? It is not logical
Okay, lets get something clear, she can be queer and in a loving relationship with a man. Years and years of flagging are not erased by a happy relationship with a man. She could be bisexual, pansexual, queer, unlabeled...
Genuine question, who do non-gaylors think the whole midnights album is about??
If only I could get Jack Antonoff drunk and convince him I can keep a secret I would know EVERYTHING
Every relathionship Taylor has had with women or men is valid, but I though we all swifties agreed that the fever dream that was Haylor was a PR stunt
Gay pride makes me, me. In a straight way tho. Could you imagine me as one of those queers? What a ridiculous thought
Not every unpleasant experience you have is a trauma. However, I think we can all agree that not getting tickets to the eras tour is the biggest trauma anyone can have
Taylor Swift is the Emily Dickinson of our generation and I will not be taking critizism on that
Now she gets the mojo dojo casa house, get the kids, get the prize, picture me thick as thieves with you ex long term distance low commitement casual girlfriend
