She could make each song start with the letters "I'm gay" and they would suddenly believe she doesn't hide words in letters

what do you mean youre a long time fan learning about GLAAD from a video reaction?? HUH???

a PopBase post looking like gaylor bluesky circa December 2024.

YES to this thread - what if the 3 Taylors are albums? 🧵 Paper head Taylor = GIANT Antihero Taylor = locked-in-vault 13 Taylor = reclaimed castle taylor Fortnights TTPD is room 1. Room 2 is new era, and needs the man and woman working in-sync (I Can See You MV explains it more) ICSY & Antihero=🎸💥

Maybe it was rock-n-roll playing, maybe it was her? Echos of past history come back to me, in a blur. Thinking about how Joan Jett pushed coming out through her music, letting the song speak for her, and she cited Crimson and Clover as her ‘didn’t I make it obvious?’, as her lyrical Betty anthem.

I just thought of a question - what decades of queer history has Taylor covered so far?

Santa Buddy is growing a beard. [linked videos in the comments below]

Have you ever heard of the term “beards”?

I’m spotting a pattern

Tbh this shoulda been enough if I’m being honest

I think it would be a clever way of addressing all the “she’s performing for the male gaze” commentators if/when there’s no man there! it can be done in drag to keep it glass closeted too They will still think “there’s a man” there, while she’s taking a butchfemme photoshoot, like Cindy + K D Lang

Sabrina’s album cover is like:

thinking about how ME! takes place in London & Midnights Taylor drenched in Rainbows while The Man covers her with the umbrella. but Shade never made anybody less Gay. & the rainbow portal is what takes them Out. So Long, London.

And shade never made anybody less gay (and not the kind that’s thrown I mean the kind under where a tree has grown)❤️🏳️‍🌈

Uhh.. chat? Watch the video for the exact moment this comes up in the documentary - when her dad is talking about how the teachings of the church about gays was wrong.

Taylor Swift and the Complexities of Gender on the TTPD album thread Let’s begin with the Chairman of the Tortured Poets Department

Here’s the full article where he came out publicly! 1/24/95

Sabrina Carpenter can only say one thing in a lyric, and that one interpretation and implied meaning is FINAL! Meanwhile…

partner is having ‘the talk’ with their parents about how they’re not safe to be around… hope it goes well, and I am proud of them for getting up the courage to set boundaries. i think a BIG piece is loss of privilege - it was easy enough to sit at that table when they were protected, but now, not.

both part 1 & part 2 of the queer, marxist, taylor swift essay that i’ve been working on are officially up! would love to hear your thoughts & lyrical / analytical additions ⬇️

Even more embarrassing, it was an education-related podcast, where they’re admitting they’re using A I instead of just reading the 10 page document that’s essential to read for the profession they’ve chosen Like a lawyer who doesn’t read case law, but relies on A I to think. 😭

just listened to a podcast and they were like “this is a great case for chatGP T” no, NO it was not it was like “use that, then read the sources”, but sources were what you need to read anyway? like reading a summary of the fire code, THEN going to the actual fire code? making 1 step into two!

I’m going to need an explanation of this if shade doesn’t make anybody less gay and Taylor is holding a sunshade then, by the song logic, explain it to me antis…

In plain sight you hid, you are what you did “I prefer ✨hiding in plain sight ✨, my fourth drink in my hand, these desperate prayers of a cursed Man” 🤵‍♀️

Throughout the TTPD album, Taylor uses traditionally male words on herself. Again - this is action she is taking. It is okay to notice it in the art! It means these are the words she herself chose to use for her work, out of all the words that exist.

easy interpretation is “it’s a breakup song about a relationship” but many feel the song is a breakup song to the fans, a relationship that doesn’t fit She’s the “conman who sells a fool get-love-quick schemes”, a cowboy “telling rich folks anything they want to hear.” Forever is the sweetest con.

🩷 my fav eras tour outfits 🧡

I come in peace, just sharing lyrics and prologues. 🫶 🎵 "You taught me a secret language I can't speak with anyone else"

the maroon glitch flower hoodie of November 2019. So scarlet it was maroon.

Sparkly outfits #friendsofdorothea

Lesbian flag found in whose hands? microphone and a piano and a lesbian flag, as usual (credit: hcsiequake on twit)

public bathrooms flights and buses and subways crowded areas local pharmacy doctor and hospital appts you don’t want some stranger 6 rows over giving you a permanent infection to your lungs, and brain changes, bc they didn’t mask and went on a plane while sick. 😔 Catching influenza in the TSA line

Losers bracket: Kens, men masqueraded, you’re so gorgeous, singing to dream girl, “she’s the kind of book you just can’t put down”, “sit by my side in the shade” which NEVER made anybody less…! “scandal does funny thing to PRIDE but brings lovers closer”, will you kiss me Betty, ME: like a rainbow 🌈

That sweater is so 2007-2010, that sweater in colors was my entire wardrobe of “business casual”, outside of “t-shirts given to me for free” 😀

Performed with Taylor on stage London June 22, 2018 First 1D member to wear a rainbow item in a music video! 2012, during the One Thing mv with a guitar strap Introduced his 2020 tour wearing a shirt of queer kissing “In all your gorgeous colors, I promise that I’ll love you” #friendsofDorothea

lol the time I discovered (by happenstance, since the new boss transfer decided to hide documents) that there was illegal activity All I did was ask a simple question to a supervisor 😉, and by end of day witnessed the glory of: “I had a great idea, turns out it’s illegal” 🤣 but also got yelled at.

Okay, now that I’ve calmed myself after my outburst…this is performance arttttttt they all knew who that jacket was supposed to go to!

He'd make up stories about relationships with girlfriends that were non existent

YES! Gaylors who love lyrical analysis should check out Countin’ on A Miracle (gender of muse & narrator), and also Brilliant Disguise (🪻🧔‍♀️🚪💍): “you play the loving woman, i’ll play the faithful man” about the wedding. Queer history folks may look into Philadelphia movie’s soundtrack about HIV.

if you've never seen janelle monae before last night, please do yourself the favor of watching this www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEdd...

Chappell spoke eloquently on healthcare and exploitation of record labels on new artists. She spoke on trans rights. She spoke on being a gay artist, with gay songs written by gay people, that recognition being given. Whole world’s the 💖🦄 club Proud of her tonight! Don’t let them take your voice!

BOOO!!!! the issues here are life and death, about commitment to human rights, and you’re worried about sending pandering tweets. Go do your JOB, and save human lives. Stop posting about pennies.

my fave queer resistance anthem that got me through 2022

Fifth year of 🏳️‍🌈 Only The Brave! 🏳️‍🌈 “Come on, when you know you know!” “Lonely shadow dances from the cradle to the grave” “It’s a church of burnt romances, and I’m too far gone to pray.” “Love’s a solo song and it’s only for the brave” ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
