Kaylor - Blog Posts
My favorite thing about question..? is that taylor singing about what she would say to karli's little gay husband
"Did you every have someone kiss you in a crowded room?" Kiss gate. the 1975 concert. The Matty Healy relationship was to point back to Karli and kiss gate and you are in love. she's trying to scream hey, look at us, this is the lead singer of the band karli and I went to see when we kissed. That why matty had said he wasn't writing songs about taylor, cause it wasn't real, it was a hair pin dropped right on the doorstep of kissgate.
"Do you wish you could still touch ...her?" the dots infer that there was a pause, a secret code between beards
"When (he) says it's too much" whoever was Josh's gay lover (If he had one) felt it to be too much to sneak around, "Did you leave (his) house in the middle of the night?"
"Caught in politics and gender-rolls" exactly what it sounds like. karli and josh had to beard considering how close they are to the trumps.. a known homophobic. they had to keep the fantasy of gender-rolls up
"Did you wish you put up more of a fight?" He tried to fight the gender-rolls and politics. To be openly gay. but the fight wasn't fruitful, he got pushed into the ( very glass) closet
"And what's that, that I heard, that your still with her. That's nice, i'm sure that's what's suitable and right" After all those years they're still bearding. they're still wrapped up in gender-rolls and politics
which, of course, could mean nothing but can I ask you a question...?
I was listening to loml and I started thinking about jemily (the ship name of two female fbi agents, Emily and jj, on criminal minds). Jj left Emily when jj thought she was in love with her new husband, Jj ends up pregnant and now feels like she has to stay in the relationship. and in my mind it's the song Emily would associate with Jj.
It reminds me of Kaylor. Taylor is singing to Karli. she's the lost of Taylor's life.
In my mind, both Kaylor and Jemily found their way back together despite the husbands and kids.
I think as a gaylor, the song imgonnatogetyouback is INSANELY queer.
"im going to pull you into the closet" she's going to closet her lover. Taylor cant be out so if they want to be lovers, they have to stay in the closet.
"Say you got somebody, I'll say I got someone too" Taylor is talking about bearding, specifically kaylor bearding. karli has her fruity little husband and taylor has her fruity little football player.
"You knew the price going in" Karli knew they'd have to stay a secret to the general public. they couldn't be out.
"Once you fix your face, I'm going in" she's talking to Karli, theres no quotations around it. she is saying to someone, someone isn't saying it to her.
"Push the reset button, we're becoming something new" Her and Karli are starting a relationship again. Karli was at the LA N2 eras tour and was seen backstage going to Taylor, that's where it started again. Karli is in Paris right now. so is Taylor. it's still new. it's still fresh. they're restarting what could've been.
"we broke all the pieces but we still want to play the game" They can't stay away from each other. The relationship fell apart but they're still going to the other.
she just keeps dropping hints if ya'll hetlors don't see it thats on you. Cause even if she did just turn out to be straight (which she obviously isn't) that would be a whole other problematic thing..... so which is she problematic or queer, which is worse to them?
So I came across this comment on a random reddit post…
I had never heard that before, but the first thing I thought of was all the pearl imagery in Taylor’s latest video.
Pearls, pearls & more pearls. Maybe something, maybe nothing at all. Just thought it was worth a share. ⚪️
*insert calvin harris's deleted twitter posts about losing a big old beard*
Actual footage of me seeing this come up on TikTok…..
As a kaylor having taylor looking up at karli throughout the last night of the eras tour in LA, especially during the folklore set, immortalized on disney+ to be watched whenever is really something. especially cause she knew it was being filmed and she decided to bring her girlfriend and she kept looking up at karli. She put karli up there so she could keep looking up at her!
Just two women in love on a road trip <3

is that why I always feel like strutting everytime I listen to the queer master peice that is goldrush
I love that Karlie’s walk perfectly matching the Gold Rush beat is making the rounds on Twitter. The proof is undeniable.
(and so cute! Taylor is such a romantic.)
only true allies kiss their best friend at a concert, drops so many hairpins about her, and then write multiple albums about her over the span of like 10 yrs, obviously.
Taylor Swift planting the seeds of allyship in 2014
if he was supposed to and got cut cause of the backlash of being seen with Matty that Taylor got I'm going to riot (even tho if it did happen my little kaylor heart couldn't take)
Please no this was all I had left 😭
the post that inspired my "The Seven Husbands Of Taylor swift- A Comparative Essay" cause I'm obsessed and queer and a kaylor <3
“When Celia said she couldn’t have all of me, it was because I was selfish and because I was scared of losing everything I had. Not because I had two sides of me that one person could never fulfill. I broke Celia’s heart because I spent half my time loving her and the other half hiding how much I loved her." (Evelyn Hugo)
The seven husbands of Taylor Swift- a comparative essay.
so I know that this isn't my usual smut post and i've been kinda MIA but I've been reading The Seven Husbands Of Evelyn Hugo and there's many, many references to Taylor swift and/ or Kaylor so I want to write an essay on it. I am posting it to tumblr to give me a reason to finish it cause I never finish essays. this is just the opening paragraph (or half of it depending on if I add to it or the feed back I get back from my bestie), I've been working on my writing and I'm very proud of this so far. I hope you like it and I am open to feed back if you have any :)
Taylor swift, a woman whose closet is made of glass, and the fictional character Evelyn Hugho from “The Seven Husbands Of Evelyn Hugo” by Taylor Jenkins Reid, a woman who spent half her time loving Celia St. James and the other half hiding how much she loved her both have one thing in common, they fell in love with a woman while dating a man. It started in a closet at an awards show after being told her new friend, Celia St. james, is a lesbian Evelyn decided to confront the red haired woman which leads to a kiss. At some point between 2010-2012 Taylor and Karli met while Swift was dating her then beard Harry Styles, their first public interaction was on twitter on January 17th 2012 with Karli tweeting “hey @(Taylorswift13) love the @(vogue magazine) cover! Your kitchen or mine?”. Many fans often compare Evelyn and Taylor, they being two women who have had a secret relationship with a women (or multiple in Taylor’s case- Hey, dianna).
Lover of Taylor swift❤️❤️
Taylor swift queer flagging part eight:
this will be the last part for a while. just until I find more or she debuts any new outfit!!!
People saying the tortured poets department is somehow tied to Joe because of ONE word that coincides with Joe friends groupchat , but dismissing queer analysis of Taylor lyrics based on queer history and references and parallels that Taylor has done herself is wild to me.
We are all just guessing. Is just guessing. Hetlors are speculating as much as gaylors are.
The only difference is that gaylors get harrased because of that speculation
Of course Taylor Swift is straight. Is totally straight to dress up as Sappho and hide in a glass closet to sing in the MV of the first track of your really queer album where you sing "thats my man" so many times that is just campy and ridculous considering how queercoded that lyrics are. Those gaylors are just taking it too far.
So, Taylor Nation just posted a photo of Taylor in her birthday with tha caption "bejeweled girl at the birthday party" with the bejewel song too. Is she soft launching a Travlor break up with the articule about Travis having doubst, then he not being at her birthday party and now the bejewel caption???
I was just listening to suburban legends and, first thing first, what and absolute total banger. I genuinely cannot understand why I did not listen to this song more often. And second, the lyrics are like, really queer-coded.
The one that really called my attention was "1950s gymnasium". Now, if you dont know that, in the 1950s the lavander scare, a process where queer people where maked to be outcast on the society by the goverment, took place. People needed to hide and did not really know who to trust (since the people caught "guilty" were force by torture and manipulation to give names or other queer people), it was really a strugle. She says she is "standing in a 1950s gymnasium" like, trying to survive the scrutiny and navigaiting her life not knowing who to trust about her true self alongside other queer people. All together in one place, practicing not getting caught (and we all now that era was when Taylor was really bad at hiding her alleged relationships with women)
Then, theres the chorus. I didnt come here to make friends, when would you need to clarify that in a straight scenario? Almost never and, based on the lyrics, I dont think thats the case. And then the "you kissed me on a way thats gonna screw me up forever" its really deep if we read it as queer. Taylor queerness was an obstacle to her career, something that should be hidden and secretive because the consecuences of it being know were too catastrofic (like in the 1950s). Her queerness could screw her career and dreams forever, so that kiss (that I think represents her whole relationship with the muse) could screw her up forever, everything she has worked for could go away because of who she was in love with. Yet, when she hold her, it hold her together, so it was worth it.
Now in the second verse, there are (appart from the 1950s lyrics) a few things that caught my attention. First, the fantasy she has about surprising everyone with their mismatched sings, its a fantasy because it cannot happen. Its not posible, that is why it is a fantasy. Second, theres the lyric, "You'd be more than a chapter in my old diaries with the pages ripped out" she says "You'd" as in a way of hoping, like saying: if our love was not something we have to hide you will be more than a than a chapter in my old diaries with the pages ripped out. Now, this thing about ripping of pages of a diary is honestly heartbreaking. She feels so afraid, she needs to hide that much that she even erased any prove of her love from her diaries, one of the most personal things anyone could ever own, were you pour your feeling to yourself and yourself only; she could not even trust her diaries to keep her love secret.
To finish, we have to tie it all to the title: suburban legends. A history that everyones knows yet no one can tell if it is or not true, because there us no proof. It could be real or not, but everyone has heard of it. Taylor saying her and her muse were born to be suburban legends insinuates that the relationships she is singing about was secret, very few people knew that it existed for real (bacause it was not safe) but everyone heard the rumors about it.
Disclaimer: this is just my interpretation and by sharing this I am not saying this is the truth or that Taylor said that to me or something like that. I am just reading and analising the art she putted out there.
I just read a re-post of one of my post from a non-gaylor, and I would like to say it was a really good, respectful answer that explained their point of view perfectly and, by any means, this post is an attemp to start beef or anything.
Being said that, one of the points that really standed out to me was how some fans would "force a queer identity on her" (not quoting them, just summarizing) and how twisting lyrics to hold a narrative or using certain interpretation of a song, was not healthy, in reference to the connection I made to the album midnights and Taylors queerness.
Now, I would like to ask, isnt twisting a lyric to fit a narrative how people started saying that Taylor was the "argumentative antithetical dream girl" she refers to in hits different, when is crearly (and is a question of grammar and basic language comprension) refering to the muse of the song?
Bet I could still melt your world, argumentative antithetical dream girl. Are you kidding me?? How could you posible say this makes sense if she was refering to herself???
Then, the paternity test constantly done by swifties to look for the muse of a song is nothing more than a certain interpretation of the lyric to fit the narrative. So that is not a thing exclusive to gaylors, almost every swiftie does it.
Now, that is what I like to call a double standard. I am not shaming the original autor of the post that have inspired this text, but pointing out a more societal problem. Very often, speculation and shipping and reading into things, if done in a hetero way is okay but do not dare to do it in a way that relates to queerness.
About the "forcing a queer identity on her", there is a thing, done through history called flagging. Safo was doing it in ancient Grecee, so did Oscar Wilde and more recently Elton John or James Dean. There are signals of the queer community to signal discretely to other lgbtq+ that they are one of them.
Taylor is not subtle about her flagging. She went out in a bi pride colored jacket to sing "and you can want who you want, boys and boys and girls and girls". She did sing about wearing someone like a necklace. She did spray paint her paint the bi colors to her gay pride music video. Use the lyric hair pin drop more than once. She puts lesbian flag colors as the main lighting in her world wide tour. And much much more. Is obvious, really out there for the people who want to see it to see.
Once you see that, you have no option but to hope she is queer; because if she was not, she would only be a straight girl that harmed the queer comunity by taking all the simbolisim that lgbtq+ people have built througt the ages and making it hetero to the mainstream, erasing the very little history the comunity has managed to create in the opressed world that it had have to endure.
So, even if I think that the answer to my previous post was really well written and respectful, I do not think it is a really nuance take.
PD: To the person behind the original blog that posted the answer, if you have read this and recognised yourself on it, just know this is not a personal attack and I apologize before hand if that felt like that to you.
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.
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
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
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
