I washed my hands of us at the club btw!!! If you even care!
My favorite thing about question..? is that taylor singing about what she would say to karli's little gay husband
"Did you every have someone kiss you in a crowded room?" Kiss gate. the 1975 concert. The Matty Healy relationship was to point back to Karli and kiss gate and you are in love. she's trying to scream hey, look at us, this is the lead singer of the band karli and I went to see when we kissed. That why matty had said he wasn't writing songs about taylor, cause it wasn't real, it was a hair pin dropped right on the doorstep of kissgate.
"Do you wish you could still touch ...her?" the dots infer that there was a pause, a secret code between beards
"When (he) says it's too much" whoever was Josh's gay lover (If he had one) felt it to be too much to sneak around, "Did you leave (his) house in the middle of the night?"
"Caught in politics and gender-rolls" exactly what it sounds like. karli and josh had to beard considering how close they are to the trumps.. a known homophobic. they had to keep the fantasy of gender-rolls up
"Did you wish you put up more of a fight?" He tried to fight the gender-rolls and politics. To be openly gay. but the fight wasn't fruitful, he got pushed into the ( very glass) closet
"And what's that, that I heard, that your still with her. That's nice, i'm sure that's what's suitable and right" After all those years they're still bearding. they're still wrapped up in gender-rolls and politics
which, of course, could mean nothing but can I ask you a question...?

it’s funny how SOME (not all) hetlors/haylors think this is 100% fine and normal behavior yet if i say wonderland is gay af and about probs about dianna suddenly i’m speculating about her sexuality/need to touch grass/being invasive/etc. which completely disregards:
1. queercoding and it’s history and why some people cannot overtly come out—yes, even a rich and influential white women!
2. taylor has said many many times she never explicitly says who her songs are about and thus doesn’t mind people speculating who. imo, the 1989 tv prologue is more about the fishbowl lense her dating life falls in and the disrespectful articles about her and dianna and her and harry/other bfs (or girl space friends/boy space friends).
do some gaylors take it too far? absolutely!! i disagree with a lot of them on this platform and others but it is not a gaylor specific issue and i’m sick of the double standard! the rampant homophobia in this fandom is so real and most of yall don’t even realize the subtle homophobia you possess?? not everybody has to think she’s gay/bi/queer or whatever but being nasty to anyone who is open to the idea is just plain wrong.
analyzing work through a queer lense is not bad. saying “hmm x lyric seems like it correlates to x person” isn’t always as crazy as some think it is!! ultimately, taylor swift is a brand and she knows how certain things will be perceived and if she really didn’t want to have people thinking she’s some form of queer, she would do a lot more than a half baked sentence in the prologue of an album.
people saying that the scarf in atw was a metaphor for her VIRGINITY. people leaving flowers on cornelia street after tay and joe broke up. the absolute chaos that was jake gyllenhaal’s insta after red tv. the accounts that are making AI edits of what travis and tay’s BABY would look like. i could go on and on about the instances that the “mainstream” fandom has done that is clearly disrespectful to taylor and her art.
i love taylor and ultimately dgaf on what her sexuality is. i just wish the general fandom wasn’t so quick to pull out the pitchforks on every gaylor or someone who is gaylor-adjacent without understanding what our community really is.
