Before TTPD, has Taylor ever used any typewriter imagery/references?
funny you should ask,
TAYLOR SWIFT The Tortured Poets Department
connecting the dots...
What I’ve learned in the past year on my journey into the swiftie universe is that gaylors are so much nicer and intelligent than swifties/hetlors. I have not seen swifties/hetlors do lyrical analysis the way gaylors do. I don’t see them connecting historical figures and nods in her work the way gaylors do. Like gaylors will point out all of the lgbt history that Taylor has used/put into her work and say how much of a genius she is and swifties will attack the gaylors and say “well she didn’t know that’s what it meant” or “oh no that’s not the real meaning” when there is literally no other meaning than the lgbt one. The way I see it is, I’ve seen gaylors appreciate her art and work and her lyrics (because Taylor wants us to read the lyrics) and the swifties just don’t as much. Also the way that swifties/hetlors are about the “male muses” compared to how gaylors are about “female/male muses) is also vastly different. Ive noticed that the swifties see her as some character and not an actual human. I don’t feel comfortable or welcome in swifties spaces whereas gaylor spaces have made me feel at least semi welcome (only semi because I don’t ever feel 100% welcome in any space I try to be in) Overall I’m here for Taylor Swift and her music because it has brought so much joy to me personally in the last year. This has been one of the craziest and best rides I’ve been on.
the hate a lot of swifties hold for gaylors is honestly nauseating. the vast majority of gaylors aren't accusing taylor of queerbaiting, pressuring her to come out or saying she's any sexuality for sure. most of them are just pointing out how there seem to be queer themes and signals within taylor's music, which BY THE WAY is how queer people have communicated and found each other, forever.
how can you possibly think that is invasive? how can you say that gaylors are disgusting? how can you be so cruel to somebody who simply wants to find relatability in art they love?
okok. theory. taylor is an astrology girlie. what if she is using this "portal" to reinvent herself in the public eye and be more openly true & authentically queer? 'do you want to know where i was april 29' etc etc
right where you left me goes so fucking hard. y'all heard this shit??? the way she sings breathlessly in one run on sentence until she hits the chorus like skidding to a halt at the edge of a cliff like??? have you HEARD this shit?????? bitch!!!!
cant stop thinking about this...
um wtf?????
Bf Taylor... enjoy...
