the queering of taylor swift

“not only does a queer reading of folklore further validate all the earlier queer readings of many of swift’s other songs, it also opens up possibilities for more nuanced, equally rewarding readings of swift’s songs”

🙌 THIS 🙌

Coney Island

The question pounds my head

"What's a lifetime of achievement?"

If I pushed you to the edge

But you were too polite to leave me

And do you miss the rogue

Who coaxed you into paradise and left you there?

Will you forgive my soul

When you're too wise to trust me and too old to care?

'Cause we were like the mall before the Internet

It was the one place to be

The mischief, the gift wrapped suburban dreams

Sorry for not winning you an arcade ring

And I'm sitting on a bench in Coney Island

wondering where did my baby go?

———

Coney Island Baby

And the straightest dude I ever knew

was standing right for me, all the time

So I had to play football for the coach

And I wanted to play football for the coach

When you're all alone and lonely

In your midnight hour

And you find that your soul

It has been up for sale

And you're getting to think about

All the things that you done

And you're getting to hate

Just about everything

But remember the princess who lived on the hill

Who loved you even though she knew you was wrong

And right now she just might come shining through

And the

Glory of love

Glory of love

Glory of love, just might come through

I don’t dress for women, I undress for them or whatever the fuck it was Taylor Swift said.

Can we bring back the discussion of how Karlie is literally in the ME! MV ????

This random "man" is the only person falling from the sky that gets a whole close up for seemingly no reason and "he" is not credited ANYWHERE.

This is literally Karlie Kloss in disguise

Her features may have been altered, but the position of her features were not!

Like it's so obvious???? It is layers of makeup and prosthetics. In general you can tell that's not even a man + the hair is a dead giveaway that it's a disguise. And not a good one bcuz the intention WAS to be obvious

And then Taylor literally disguises herself as a man in The Man just to drive the point btw

It's the prosthetic nose and chin + the changed eyebrows and wig in BOTH for me.

Adding this edit I came across after bcuz it is better than the one I used and UNDENIABLE

KARLIE LIKED TAYLORS POST OHHHH KAYLORREUNIONLOR WE’RE REALLY IN IT NOW

[imtheremostoftheyear]

The notion that Taylor doesn't like gaylors is so funny to me. We're truly the biggest nerds in this fandom and you cannot convince me she isn't into that. Who else is out here reading Untamed and Dickinson and analysing The Wizard of Oz and The Truman Show and learning so much about queer history and listening to Dusty Springfield, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon, James Taylor and countless of other artists, analysing their lyrics, making connections, and all that not just because of her, but because we're truly in it now. And whether the connections we're seeing are real is truly anyone's guess, but I don't think it matters so much as the act of engaging in these artists' works, really diving in there, attempting to understand and actually SEE them and what they've been trying to say. You cannot honestly believe that this type of shit isn't EXACTLY what Taylor would want us to be doing.

Taylor did NOT write

"I dream of cracking locks throwing myself to the wolves, or the ocean rocks; crashing into him tonight"

implying that she has two choices: to come out with a secret and be thrown to the wolves, or keep it hidden and it feeling like death to her- and then saying that being with a man is the equivalent of said death-

for you to think Guilty As Sin? is about a straight relationship

[cerebralisis]

If there was any doubt as to which “sparkling summer” she was referring to in The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived, I think the addition of a literal PARADE should make it clear enough. 🏳��‍🌈

[hauntedlovewasteland]

Y’all ever just casually thinking about the Best Best Friends video and how Karlie admitted that she’s was the reason Taylor moved to New York instead of moving across the ocean to London

Karlie: She lives in Nashville, L.A. and New York, and she almost moved to London and I said ‘nope not happening’ and now she lives in New York.

This whole video is one of the gayest things I’ve ever seen and I say that as a transgender queer man who literally goes out of his way to watch the gayest things out there.

So hang on, hang on, lemme make sure I’m getting this right. So she’s in a psych ward. In a wedding gown. And she takes the “miracle move on drug” the “forget him” pill of which the effects are temporary. Right, right. And then she’s set free, and immediately walks into a sterile office in a VICTORIAN MOURNING gown! And sits down to start working away on her typewriter. She’s writing, and she loves her muse, and it’s ruining her life. Okay. And then she and the muse are laying on the papers, in love. The pages of her work, her diary, her songs, THE FILES!! And they’re together, and the pages are flying around them, blocking them from the camera, okay? You still with me? She reaches for the muse and then she’s getting electric shock therapy?? With curly hair?? Okay. Okay. And again, loving the muse is ruining her life. And all the doctors, the people closest to her, run away scared when the electricity short circuits or whatever, and the muse is the only one who notices and stops it from killing her!!! The muse is in a (glass) phone booth, and Taylor is sitting right on top, but out of view from the muse. And they are in the middle of NOWHERE. The rust that grew between telephones??? And then we’re back in the office, and she’s pulling all the files out of the drawers!! In the mourning gown again!!! And she’s letting them out, ruining the sterility, and she’s freaking out, sobbing. And then she’s facing the camera, stone cold, letting the files swirl around her, now out in the open ON FIRE I MIGHT ADD. And back in the psych ward in the wedding dress, she breaks the glass to escape, to bolt?? And then, once the files are free, once the glass is broken, once the muse steps out of the glass!! Then she can touch the muse. Then she can touch the muse. Somebody give me an oxygen mask, holy shit

IM SO SORRY WHAT?????

TAYLOR NATION U DOG

[taylorklosscomeout138]

10 years ago today, moments before Kissgate happened, Karlie kissed her fingers and then placed them on Taylor's cheek

Immediately after, Taylor kissed her fingers, embraced Karlie, and put them on her neck

[argumentativeantitheticaldrmgrl]

This is just insane
