one of the best things about #GaylorSwift (Taylor Swift secretly being gay) discourse is that many of the loudest voices in it are lesbians who are not attracted to men and believe that posting a photo of Joe Alwyn is evidence enough that Taylor Swift is not actually writing about 'this guy?????', and a photo of Zoë Kravitz looking hot as fuck is incontrovertible evidence that Taylor must be in love with her not just platonically
「lavender haze」is a song to her FRIEND, Joe Alwyn, who is also her beard
(I didn't actually know this and I don't think Taylor knows much about queer culture but she definitely googles everything)
"'Lavender marriage' was a term used to describe 'heterosexual' marriages of convenience between gay men and lesbians"
'the 1950s shit they want from me / I just want to stay in that lavender haze'
she is upset that white feminism hasn't made her life completely easy breezy, which is why she wants to stay in the closet, because she can't let go of the privilege of maintaining a hetero image
'all they keep asking me is if I'm gonna be your bride'
yeah she's been with Joe for a while now and the relationship escalator demands that they get engaged and then married, but...
'Staring at the ceiling with you / Oh you don't ever say too much / And you don't really read into / My melancholia'
they're just pals, and mid-tier pals at that. like this is not a description of a normal romantic couple, or even close friends. he is an inoffensive, bland dude who isn't going to pull some wacky press stunt or too famous in his own right, and they don't have a deep emotional connection. he's an adequate beard for a while, sure, but Taylor probably doesn't want to get *married* to him
willow: 'wreck my plans, that's my man'
referring to her image and how her entire career and life are planned out for years, to the day, including her 'relationships'
'hey, that's my man / yeah that's my man / yeah that's my man / every bait and switch was a work of art'
pretending that whatever guy she's dating is the centre of her life when he's really a beard so she can continue seeing women!!!
wow the song 'Dress' is so fuckinf gay hello Taylor
'you kiss my face and we're both drunk'
'i don't want you like a best friend'
okay #GaylorSwift
Dear Mastodon:
I am currently obsessed with #TaylorSwift. The reason is it is clear to me that she is queer and has been writing about her closeted queer experiences for pretty much her whole career. This theory is called #GaylorSwift and I am a #Gaylor.
There is tons of evidence that she’s been signaling that she’s queer for years. But the best part is:
Listening to her music through a queer lens makes it 1000x better.
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
On top of that the #gaylor community is awesome.
