no actually like with their track record why would you do something that could even *possibly* provoke taylor’s lawyers that genuinely sounds terrifying like you’re cooked 😭

especially when it’s such a cherrypicked and not remotely nuanced take… as a POC i typically pick my battles bc i only have so much energy to go around and a taylor swift necklace is probably not gonna be one of them 💀

and this is definitely why she wants to burn it all down.

i will say suing would prob make her look worse in the public eye (billionaire vs person trying to make rent) but she technically can sue lmfao. i do think we need to start punching people more often tho because holy shit. ppl truly forget taylor is a real person not just a brand

that looks like a whole lotta white to me 🥴 like again ppl who were genuinely concerned abt it? sure. but the takes i’ve seen from POC are always way more nuanced and well-explained than “8 points on the star 8 lightning bolts” and the discourse truly felt manufactured and like a panic.

The Life of a Showgirl is Taylor’s final performance and send off to this fandom as we know it.

It’s a letter of regrets, vulnerability, desire, loyalty. Every song connects to each other in the context of taylor grappling with her desire to come out AND also keep her beloved fans.

oh for sure! this is such a lovely community and everyone here is so smarttt there is no way i would’ve figured any of this out myself! but now i know so much about queer history and am more in touch with my queerness (i was already gay but not quite Queer), i wouldn’t trade this for the world 🥺

i only started being a full on gaylor in 2023 after going to the eras tour and it’s definitely felt so “real” the whole time, especially now 😭 bc like with it all in view now i joined after the performance art started lmao. i lowkey wish i experienced what it was like before just a wee bit!

sometimes it feels like gaylors are the only part of the fandom that can hold multiple truths in our head at once without exploding 💀

ALSO i think it’s very fair to start questioning if the ends really do justify the means at this point in time

given it was 2019 it’s probably a contract end date. she signed with her current label in 2018 iirc.

from my religious parents, so why are so many american adults falling for it lmfao. i’m not religious now but i was raised with the kind of christianity that’s “love your neighbor as yourself” for the most part and clearly most of america wasn’t 😒

truly the neurodivergent experience 🙃 i could’ve told you back in 5th grade when *he* was first running for president that he was bad news and it would lead to this. i learned about wwii, i saw how he was blaming one group (immigrants) for our problems and said “nope” without any input whatsoever

this is gonna sound pretentious but beimg a person that has strong pattern recognition is deeply exhausting and distressing. between the constant internet rage bait & ppl at work not listening to me when I predict shit years in advance, I’m just fucking tired.

and yet entirely valid and we’re all feeling it on the daily so someone’s gotta voice it

it sucks that more people aren’t open to this bc it’s genuinely so intriguing and even if somehow we’re all wrong we’ve learned so much about queer history and closeting and the industry. ppl need to stop being so serious and consider alternatives, even as merely a brief thought experiment.

yeah tbh i barely being it up to anyone outside of my partner. i reserve the gaylor talk for chill QUEER (not just gay) people only. but it sucks when someone asks me abt it and i have to like edit out the gaylor parts 😭 although thanks to strict parents i am very good at editing truths lmao

this has been coming up a lot in taylor’s imagery and i know it’s 99.999999999999% likely that it’s just a metaphor but there’s always something in the back of my mind that gets a little concerned 😬
