📌 I don’t care how Taylor Swift identifies. Her music is compelling through a queer lens so I’m gonna be discussing that with the rest of the neurodivergent gays (interesting people).
Just block and quote me if you wanna be a little bitch about it. ✌🏻

@waranwonders To those arguing that the song Actually Romantic doesn’t have Sapphic vibes: If you treat the song as a text, independent of context—what we call “practical criticism” at Cambridge—it undoubtedly does. This is not a comment on Taylor’s sexuality, but a reading of the song.
Disclaimer for anyone about to rage in my quotes/comments. This is about relating to the sentiment as an autistic person not trying to diagnose Taylor.
“I like em cloaked in Gucci and in scandal” would hit so hard in a music video with punks, kinksters, and drag royalty where “queer beauty reigns supreme.”
"You must remember everything, but mostly this: The crowd is your king."
How Taylor portrays both Ophelia AND Hamlet.
And makes us King Claudius.
This play is about us. No. Really.
A long 🧵
@MollyWood_12 This actually has nothing to do with sexuality? The Truman Show is about reality vs. show business, surveillance and media manipulation, longing for freedom and the morality of entertainment. All th same themes Taylor’s been exploring in Showgirl.
Taylor Swift tells Jimmy Fallon why she hasn’t done the Super Bowl halftime show yet:
“We’re always able to tell [Jay-Z] the truth, which is that like, I am in love with a guy who does that sport on that actual field. Like, that is violent chess. That is gladiators without swords, that is dangerous. The whole season I am locked in on what that man is doing on the field. Can you imagine if like he’s out there every single week like putting his life on the line, doing this very dangerous, very high pressure, high intensity sport and I’m like, ‘I wonder what my choreo should be.’ […] And this is nothing to do with Travis, he would love for me to do it. I’m just too locked in.”
“What kind of dress is she gonna wear? Floggings. What’s the cake gonna look like? Executions. Who’s gonna be there? Fear. Blanket coverage. Shove it in their faces. Show them that she’s one of us now.” ~ Plutarch Heavensbee’s plan to make people lose faith in the resistance
