I Wouldn’t Proclaim Myself A “Toë Truther” But It’s Crazy Knowing That During The Pandemic They

I wouldn’t proclaim myself a “Toë truther” but it’s crazy knowing that during the pandemic they lived together…especially since during that time Taylor wrote two of her best pieces of work ever. Folklore and Evermore.

It is rumored that Zoë Kravitz helped write and produce some of those songs and for gaylors that’s HUGE. These albums are championed for their subtle queer coding in songs like Betty, Ivy, Seven, This is Me Trying, etc.

Zoë Kravitz has not come out exclusively as queer but has definitely made it clear that she walks to the beat of her own drum stating her role as Catwoman in Batman was definitely bisexual.

I speculate that if Zoë was living with Taylor and Joe at the time of global shut down it isn’t too far of a stretch to think that the true identity of ‘William Bowery’ isn’t Joe as Taylor proclaims in the long pond sessions. Especially since, Joe is properly credited as a producer on a good portion of the songs…why wouldn’t they just add his name as such to the writing credits?

Moreover,

William Bowery appears in Exile, Evermore, Betty, Coney Island, and Champaign Problems (excluding songs from most recent album midnights including lavender haze, maroon, bejeweled, anti-hero and more)

— I find it interesting that Joe would be so inclined to help write songs about the potential downfall of their own relationship…discussing topics of declining an engagement, being in exile from the one you supposedly loved, apologies, and longing—only to (public ally) break up at the start of the Eras Tour where Taylor sings about being so in love it doesn’t matter and wanting to stay in her own lavender haze.

I will admit I’m newer to this theory and do not have all the details to fully confirm my thought, but with subjects as they’re represented in Folklore and Evermore it’s hard to see how a cis-straight white man would ever have enough experience to discuss secrecy, forbidden love, and other difficult themes that Taylor holds deeply to her heart.

What do you think?
