      It seems like a sad life.

It shows they've been digging to find information and lock it away. Just... odd.

    I want to point out two things I observed and figured out myself that has a queer context: First the song "Robin" sounds like a dedication song to Gaylors, such as the lyric "the secret we all vowed/ to keep from you in sweetness" sounds like Taylor's team decided to keep Taylor's sexuality a secret from her fans in the most sweetest, kindest way possible (so that they don't "ruin" Taylor's career and image). The "you look ridiculous.. you have no idea" sounds like when h0mophobic Swifties accuse Gaylors of sounding "crazy" but Taylor is reassuring us Gaylors that we are on to something, we were right all along. The second thing I want to point out is in the song "But Daddy I Love Him" I feel like the having a baby joke was implying that people would look at Taylor funny if she claimed she was having her muse's baby since she and her muse are both cis women and cis women can't have babies together naturally unless they get IVF treatments, but most straight people are not aware of the fact that there are family-planning methods for sapphic couples so they would look at a woman funny if she claimed she was having her female partner's baby.

    😳I wish So long London was a half hr long.
    The cadence and vocabulary in guilty as sin is just top shelf.
    Who’s afraid little old me sounds like Lana Del Ray the most. How she pronounces and elongates words but the crescendos in it are amazing!
    This is all subjective, all these takes. I think it’s interesting but some reaching. You did admit it’s a lot more of a reach though for I can fix him. 👏🏾
    Taylor’s dad seems like a dick. In her documentary he wasn’t supportive of her when she’s talking about stalking, laws to protect women, she was crying and got up and left the room. He seems tone deaf to what she experiences.
    Who’s afraid of little old me immediately made me think Who’s afraid of Virginia Woolf.
    Oh my hell you had to break down what the word masqueraded means for your audience? The audience is that dense? Oh that’s sad.
    Unrelated-I think Dianna really leans into the sapphic energy in roles, outfits, the killers music video, her posts. Taylor likely is very restricted to lean into anything sapphic.
    Also wasn’t Clara Bow the 1st “It” Girl while Taylor is the modern it girl. And Emily Jean Stone (Taylor’s friend) was an it girl and she very cerebrally broke down it girl is really only a concept.

    I know that the world has changed as a whole, but I think it's incredibly important to acknowledge that Taylor's main fanbase is that of heterosexual women, mostly people that have grown up with her music.
    So even though it may be hard for you or I to understand, we must be aware of this fact. Especially since I'm fairly certain closeting in the Hollywood scene is still very proment.
    Just imagine that for a former country star that began her career in the 2000s, whose fanbase also regularly dives into her relationship with men, much like we do when it comes to her relationship with women.
    If Taylor is sapphic in any way, there is a selfish part of me that hopes she does eventually come out, because I believe it could potentially allow her some relief in life while also causing a dramatic shift in the industry as a whole.
    Plus, it would just be cool to say on the daily that Taylor Alison Swift is one of us 😂

      "Taylor's main fanbase is that of heterosexual women" Because she writes about her experiences about men, which is something straight women are very familiar with.
      If she were writing about her experiences with women, her audience would look so different to what it is. The fact is that she isn't. The fact is her music appeals to straight girls the most and that is the biggest clue you should have to NOT SPECULATE ABOUT HER SEXUALITY.

    I'll take her at her word that she's not gay, but certain of her lyrics, close female relationships and apparently disposable male relationships don't help her make the case.
    Someone on Quora answered a question posed recently about whether or not TS could be mentally ill and made at least as compelling a case for that as for her possible gayness. He noted that the rate at which she collects and disposes of men, and even women, though differently, without any real sadness, then immediately turns the affairs into songs/stories isn't typical by average (non psycho- or sociopath) emotional standards, makes the relationships more of a business enterprise, whereas an average person might be wracked by guilt or a mess of emotions after a failed relationship.
    I find the sheer rate at which she goes through people, including female friendships/affairs, weird and makes me question her ability to relate honestly and deeply to anyone without a songwriting/business ulterior motive. She could be on the spectrum. Definitely a complex woman. Having attained such an extraordinary level of fame, wealth and power, her highest priority is probably to preserving that status over being honest publicly about her sexuality if she is, in fact, gay.

    I really do not understand what is wrong with this particular group of people. You are not interpreting lyrics. You are taking lines out of context to PROVE that Taylor is gay. That crosses a line. You have no right to do that.
    The truth is there is no reason for any artist to hide their sexuality in the way you guys are implying. Imagine the amount of resources she has had to invest to keep something no one cares about "secret", especially when no one actually believes she is a lesbian. Either you believe she has the entirety of New York on a NDA agreement to hide her queerness, or just accept, she has never dated a woman.

      EXACTLY. These people are so out of touch with reality it’s scary. She’s said she’s not part of the queer community and that she’s an ally. Among other things including having her team go to CNN to dispel a Gaylor article and yet these people claim she’s never said she’s straight or said anything to stop their delusions. Taylor is so obviously straight. Her music is all about men and she’s happy with her current boyfriend. And somehow pointing this out to Gaylors they will call you homophobic which is just not true and ignorant.

    Taylor has clearly stated she's not a part of the lgbt community - "I didn't realize until recently that I could advocate for a community that I'm not a part of", and more than once. Can we not respect that as a community?
    This is so much reaching. She openly talks about how people also sexualize her female friendships, so none of her friendships are seen as safe spaces for her. She has healthy, deep female friendships. As a lesbian, this video gives me the ick. We should really respect people who advocate for our communities a lot more, rather than create fictional speculative Easter Eggs on how they're secretly also lgbt+ . It feels almost predatory. Especially when this album is overwhelming very clearly about Joe, Travis, and mainly Matty Healy... confirmed by the fact his family came out and made a statement of how he was tipped off. I will be unsubscribing.

      Sir you right... Too much of ambiguous coincidences in the past lyrics... After Taylor's statement, it's purely for the delulus. I am one such. Sorry I failed TS

      I don't believe you were ever subscribed in the first place, considering Sapphic Underground has been analyzing the queer themes in Taylor's work for quite some time. You're just now coming to this conclusion? Sure. And Billie Eilish has explicitly said she was straight, but just came out, so it doesn't matter if Taylor said something 5 years ago. People are allowed to change and people are allowed to observe Taylor's work through their own lenses.

      I'm not much of a Taylor Swift fan, but I won't be surprised if she ends up being the Evelyn Hugo of pop. Don't forget that back in the day, screen sirens Ava Gardner & Marilyn Monroe were two of the biggest closet cases in Hollywood. To this day, straight people think that both of them epitomize female heterosexuality- man crazy to the max. Not so; both were aggressive skirt chasers. IMO, Taylor accessorizes w/ men. They just become part of her persona at any given time.

      I've argued this before; she'd have to come out to be part of it, and she hasn't. Until she does, she ain't part of the community
