Rating Every Song on Fearless Based on How Gay it is
Hello friends! I still have a few song analyses in the pipeline (and one on Lover the album) but today in honor of Fearless (Taylorâs Edition) being announced and Love Story being released in a few hours I thought Iâd do something fun to celebrate!
And you know what? Fuck my usual disclaimer, I am the word of god here. Try and change my mind about any of these. I dare you. (I kid I kid this isnât that serious and youâre free to disagree <3)
1. Fearless 15/10
Everything about this song is so fucking gay oh my god. This isnât a fruit, this is a whole ass edible arrangement. As a small rural town Gay (my hometown has a population of less that 4,000 and where Iâm living now has a population of 2,500) this uh. Hits.
âAnd I don't know how it gets better than this/You take my hand and drag me head first, fearlessâ
YâALL
The idea of falling in love with someone who makes you less afraid of your homophobic small townâŠâŠ.itâs getting to me.
âMy hands shake, I'm not usually this way but/You pull me in and I'm a little more brave/It's the first kiss, it's flawless, really something/It's fearlessâ
This is making me emotional, I'll be honest. I see so much of my friends and my experience in high school in this song.Â
This quote I found on genius is from when the album was released on BMRâs website.
âWhen I wrote âFearless,â I wasnât dating anyone. I wasnât even in the beginning stages of dating anybody. I really was all by myself out on tour and I got this idea for a song about the best first date. I think sometimes when youâre writing love songs, you donât write them about what youâre going through at the moment, you write about what you wish you had. So, this song is about the best first date I havenât had yet.â
This just screams baby Tay writing gay folklore to me, about the gay stories she wish she had. Notice how there are no pronouns in this song??? Fruity Iâm telling you.
All that to say. Iâm crying because the linear note says âI loved you before I met youâ and I want to go listen to Long Story Short and cry now.
2. Fifteen 1/10
Objectively pretty straight as sheâs singing about her and Abigailâs dating boys in HS. And Taylor got with a senior guy. Good for her I suppose.
Unless he was one of the shitty ones in which case.
âThis is life before you know who you're gonna beâ
This however, is a cute line and the whole song makes me warm and nostalgic. You can also hear her crying after the line âand Abigail gave everything she had to a boy who changed his mindâ which makes me emo and Iâm sure will take on new depth after Abigailâs divorce and hurt me even more.
Other highlights that make me sob include.
âWhen all you wanted was to be wanted/Wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now/Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday/But I realized some bigger dreams of mineâ
Bigger dreams of hers indeed :â)
(Also how can you say sheâs a gold star lesbian when this song exists. She was obviously dating boys in high school and even if you think sheâs a lesbian. Comp het is a hell of a drug kids.)
3. Love Story 8/10
Tried to change the ending indeed.
This is THE Taylor Swift song, and maybe itâs the nostalgia talking but damn I still love it. Written because she wanted to change the ending of Romeo and Juliet (how anyone likes RandJ enough to want to rewrite I have no clue.) and/or because her parents didnât approve of a guy she was seeing. (according to genius, it wouldâve been too early for Joe J so it could possibly be Boys Like Girls frontman, his image did clash with hers and they did release some cute songs together. However if you want my take itâs probably folklore about Emily, take for what you will)
This song has very oft gay vibes with the âThey donât approve of our love angle!â but uses male pronouns so points redacted for that. HOWEVER this is a very early use of ~the male perspective~ in Taylorâs songs and for that it deserves all the love.
â So I sneak out to the garden to see you/We keep quiet, 'cause we're dead if they knew/So close your eyes/Escape this town for a little whileâ
More rural town angst!!!
Nothing gets me more than rural town angst.
âRomeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel/This love is difficult, but it's realâ
Originally the lyric was âthis love is differentâ. Granted I do not remember the source, iâs just lore implanted into my brain, but make of that what you will.
â"Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone/I love you, and that's all I really know/I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress/It's a love story, baby, just say "Yes"â
Marry me Juliet from the male perspective :)
Also worth noting. This is Karlieâs (and Kim Kâs lmao) favorite Taylor song which. While basic as hell. Makes this cover sad as hell to this former Kaylor. (thanks @swiftgron-get-married for the tears <3)
Also not to make this about a man AGAIN but the secret message is âSome day Iâll find thisâ AND SHE DID IM CRYING.
4. Hey Stephen 1/10
The one thing Camilla Cabello and I have in common is loving this song, so I have to live with that for the rest of my life.
This song is very painfully straight.
How can you think this woman is a gold star lesbian.
The only noteworthy thing is that this is one of the few songs she confirms who itâs about. The secret message is âLove and Theftâ which is the name of a country music duo who went on to open her Fearless tour. Which, does make me side eye this song a little bit.
Still a cute song.
âHey Stephen, boy, you might have me believing/I don't always have to be aloneâ
5. White Horse 1/10
Oh look. Itâs track five.Â
You know maybe this is just me being a bitch but in my ranking of track fives this is. Pretty low. Maybe on the bottom.
Like I donât have a lot to say about it.Â
Sheâs going through it over a guy. He was a cheating dickweazel.Â
â'Cause I'm not your princess, this ain't a fairytale/I'm gonna find someone someday/Who might actually treat me wellâ
âTry and catch me now, oh/It's too late/To catch me nowâ
These lines hit though!!
And she found Joe!! Who treats her well!!!! And she isnât the princess, sheâs the prince who dropped her sword and knocked on her door!!! But this time if they come for them sheâs ready!!!
Yes I will make every song about Long Story Short <3
6. You Belong With Me 5/10
Ah yes. The other THE Taylor Swift song.
You know. If I went to a high school with a cheerleading squad. And I had a crush on a cheerleader. I would blast this song. So for that it gets a 5/10. Otherwise. Fairly straight and fairly iconic.
7. Breathe 8/10
Well. We know this one is about a woman. (Emily Poe for those not in the know. Ha. A rhyme!) That alone has an 8/10. And itâs the first time she has a featured artist so bonus points for that!
It was nominated for a Grammy and it fucking lost to Jason Mraz. Whenâs the last time you thought about Jason Mraz.
I will not have Kaylor feels on a fucking Fearless song but damn is it VERY easy.
âNever a clean break, no one here to save me/You're the only thing I know like the back of my handâ
âIt's 2 A.M, feeling like I just lost a friend/Hope you know it's not easy, easy for meâ
Also this bridge? Goes off. HIGHLY underrated.Â
8. Tell Me Why 3/10
You know. Maybe this album isnât as gay as I once thought.
This song does bop though, not as good as her other angry songs on this album. But I can vibe with this you know. Why are you being an asshole mysterious man.
âYou could write a book on how to ruin someone's perfect dayâ
This has to be one of baby Tayâs best burns. Damn.Â
âWhy do you have to make me feel small/So you can feel whole inside?/Why do you have to put down my dreams/So you're the only thing on my mind?â
Men ainât shit kids. However, bonus points for the shade.Â
9. Youâre not Sorry 1/10
Ok, ok. Maybe this was a foolish endeavor.
Because yet again we have a very straight song. A good song. That was on Taylorâs episode of CSI. But oh dear. Very straight. Gets a measly one point. We started this post off so very very gay but damn. We seem to be nearing the end on a very straight note.
10. The Way I Loved You 20/10
Hey Remember what I said about this album being very straight.
WELL THAT WAS A LIE.
Is this a comphet album or am I projecting.
This is one of my favorite baby gay Taylor songs. Her masterful use of pronouns (he is sensible! And so incredible! And all my single friends are jealous! But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain, when it was two am and I was cursing your name!) makes the other person sheâs singing about completely vague, while we know she isnât happy with whichever guy sheâs dating.
Mayhaps an early reaction to PRomances?
Either way this song is so good, truly an underrated gay gem I mean. Look at it.
âBreaking down and coming undone/It's a roller coaster kind of rush/And I never knew I could feel that much/And that's the way I loved youâ
AND THE BRIDGE. Do all of her gay songs just have kickass bridges?
âHe can't see the smile I'm faking/And my heart's not breaking/'Cause I'm not feeling anything at all/And you were wild and crazy/Just so frustrating/Intoxicating, complicated/Got away by some mistake and nowâŠâ
Damn. Iâm imaging this with 2020 vocals and fucking ascending.
Also please watch the live performance of it from the Fearless tour. Itâs such a damn shame this got cut from the movie and some woman in the front row is wearing a cowboy hat. Everyone is holding up those cameras everyone had to have before smartphones. Taylor is being endearing. Itâs a good time.
11. Forever and Always 6/10
Bonus points for the ~drama~ of it all. Added last minute to the album? The iconic throwing of the chair in live performances?? All of it very dramatique and for that we stan.
Still pretty straight.
Also Joe Jonas responded to the song and why do I find his response so damn funny. âItâs part of being a musician, I guess. You write songs about each other.â
This is another song where the idea of Taylorâs grown up vocals on this isâŠâŠâŠ..whew
12. The Best Day 0/10
This gets zero points because itâs about her literal mom.
Still makes me cry.
God bless Andrea Swift indeed
13. Change 13/10
We start the official tracklist with a gay song. We end it with a gay song.
We will ignore that it was originally written for Scott and BMR and instead induct it into the hall of gay pride anthems, as it should be.Â
âWe're getting stronger now, finding things they never found/They might be bigger but we're faster and never scared/You can walk away, say we don't need this/But there's something in your eyes says we can beat thisâ
âThis revolution, the time will come/For us to finally win/And we'll sing hallelujah, we'll sing hallelujahâ
The music video is cringe though lol
14. Jump then Fall 10/10
This song is gay because I choose it to be. <3
Like. Picture baby Taylor writing this song and playing it on her guitar to a girl she has a crush on telling her that sheâll protect her and theyâll be safe and in love and happy together. Gah, maybe Iâm ~projecting~ but this sweet ass song always gets me and is EASILY in my top five Taylor songs. Super underrated and hecking cute.Â
âWe're on the phone and without a warning/I realize your laugh is the best sound/I have ever heardâ
Like. Look at this shit.
âI watch you talk, you didn't notice/I hear the words but all I can think is/We should be togetherâ
Tell me this is about the first time you get a crush on a girl and sheâs your best friend and sheâs amazing and beautiful and you realize you kinda want to kiss her and you hope she wants to kiss you too.
âI had time to think it oh, over/And all I can say is come closer/Take a deep breath and jump then fall into meâ
And sheâs the Romeo who's going to protect her!!!!! Sheâs the knight in shining armor in this song and I love that for her??
âThe bottom's gonna drop out from under our feet/I'll catch you, I'll catch you/When people say things that bring you to your knees/I'll catch you/The time is gonna come when you're so mad you could cry/But I'll hold you through the night until you smileâ
I wonât divulge into full on analysis here because. This is what this post is about but PLEASE listen to this song more. Itâs such a gay little gem.
15. Untouchable 9/10
How does she make a cover sound gay.
It sounds so gay.
âYou got to come on, come on, say that we'll be together/Come on, come on, little taste of heavenâ
Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
16. Forever and Always Piano Version 1/10
This song gets 1/10 because I donât like it. There. I said it.
17. Come in With the Rain 3/10
I can see why this is a bonus track. It doesnât hit me as much as the other songs on the album.
But damn if I donât want to scream sing this one driving down a high way.
18. Superstar 7/10
You canât tell me this song is about a man. I simply wonât entertain the idea.
You cannot prove to me that this song is about a man. There is not a male pronoun in sight.Â
>:)
19. The Other Side of the Door 6/10
Is this song about having a fight about being in the closet? Probably not. Will my gay little brain make it about that? Yep!
And that, funky little queer pals, is my gay rating of every Fearless song. Like and subscribe, #t3atmidnight

This is filled w/ spoilers
So here it is, time for me to pull myself together and post all my thoughts and feelings on the new episode into one big long post.Â
So my overall feelings?
I am upset
Not because it was a bad episode- it was amazing, literally so good- nope, itâs because of Nathalie- but Iâll get into that in a moment. Iâm gonna put a read-more here cause this is gonna probably be really long- and could very well be a recap of the whole ep with my commentary.Â
-----
First off, when Plagg seemed not to like Adrienâs birthday present for Marinette, he seemed so concerned (these screenshots arenât going to be very good quality because I REALLY donât feel like going through all the trouble of making them look nice & take hours on one post)
Look at the little bean! SO concerned. Itâs perfect Honeybun, sheâll love it.Â
Then onto the next scene...
Even during meals, they sit so far away from each other. Why? Iâve often wondered what the point of such a long table with so many chairs could be, especially in a house thatâs so big yet so empty. I suppose that it could do well for meetings, but still, this is a family meal, not a company get-together or business meeting with people you have to impress. They have to practically yell at each other to be heard.Â
Also, look at this
He basically asked Nathalie for approval. âShould I let him?â âYes sir, I would.â âVery well, Adrien.â
Also, the fact that Gabriel and Lila have the same meeting place each time. He isnât just driving by hoping to catch her, they have a time and place set up. And the idea that Marinette is a bad influence? Preposterous! But of course, this is Lila.Â
Screw Lila.Â
âYou work to hard, sirâÂ
Yes Nathalie, Iâm sure you know what working to hard feels like. Youâre not exactly relaxing, yourself.Â
---
Next scene!Â
Ms. Bustier: Marinette, would you bring your school bag to me please, I need to check something
Okay so first off, youâre going off of an anonymous tip that one of your best and most well-behaved students (Aside from being late quite often) is a thief and a cheat? And secondly, you really think that she is SO STUPID that if she had taken them knowingly, she wouldnât have maybe removed them from her bag? Third, why did Marinette not FIND them in her bag before school started, take them out, and maybe call Alya or something.Â
âThatâs impossible Marinette, Lila got the worst grade in the classâ not impossible if she stole them after the test- also, way to be subtle on grades. I thought teachers were supposed to keep that stuff relatively undercover.Â
And Adrien really said âMarinette Rightsâ
---
So.
Thereâs no sound of crashing.Â
Lila just yells âReady?â in the most mischievous voice she can
Then she starts screaming
And no one stopped to think âHey, not only is Marinette really not known to assault people, but we didnât hear a single thud that would have sounded like someone falling down the stairs preceding her screams.â
âShe keeps calling me a liar, getting the others to gang up against me...â SINCE. WHEN?
Also.Â
âOh...I have proofâ
How would she have known that the proof was in Marinetteâs locker? And again, if she knew, why would she be surprised to find the pendant in Marinetteâs locker??
UGH.Â
---
Now we get to the part that started lil miss me to get so upset.Â
âAre you ready, Nathalie?â
âMore than ever.â
She just bounces out from behind him, ready as sheâll ever be.Â
Look at herÂ
Then she goes on to call him the Almighty Scarlet Moth and I just smhÂ
Awww. She looks like sheâs ready to punch those butterflies in the face. You punch those akumas.Â
Varity Queen? Princess Justice? Oh yeah. I wanna see those.Â
And now to the scene that hurt me
âWhatâs wrong?!â
âNothing, everything's fine! Keep going..â
She was so ready to just fall down and choke while he continued his fight and she would have still loved him if he hadnât stopped to help her
But this seen makes it so clear
he loves her too
Even if itâs just as a friend and assistant, he loves her. And it just...the voice acting, her voice actor was so good, it physically hurts me to watch that scene. 15/10. Â
And Tikki yelling at Marinette...well not really yelling...but holy crap, there is a lot riding on this 14 year old girls shoulders when it comes to her own emotions. Sheâs still learning what some of them are, puberty is far from over with her, so now she just has the added pressure of not being able to feel the natural emotions that occur with hormone fluctuations and righteous anger from being falsely accused without having to be fearful of Hawkmothâs akuma.Â
But on the bright side, Alya FINALLY believes Marinette! She may have her flaws and push Mari a bit to much IMO when it comes to Adrien but hey, when it comes right down to it, sheâll stick it out with her pals. A true friend.Â
---
Is that the same doctor we saw at Master Fuâs?
And despite her state, still the only thing sheâs thinking about is him, his goals, what he wants- and heâs not even thinking about that right now.Â
He looks so distraught too. He needs her. But sheâs just so laser focused on one thing that sheâs not thinking about the other possibilities. Mark my words, her persistence is whatâs going to drive him to stop being Hawkmoth.Â
âI donât care, Gabriel. I want to help you.â I swear, Iâm gonna start crying again. Sheâs telling him how she feels when she says stuff like that! Itâs loud and clear. If he hasnât seen it by now, when itâs more obvious than Marinette could ever hope to be- then literally nothing but her straight up saying the words âIâm in love with youâ is gonna make it click. He has to know!
âNot at that cost! Never at that cost again...â then it cuts to his family portrait.Â
Why, pray tell, does it cut to his family portrait? Of all things. Why did it cut to anything at all? They didnât need to go to the trouble of creating a whole new picture to cut to if they didnât NEED to. Itâs saying something. And Im pretty sure that its that heâs not willing to give up Nathalie, not even for Emilie.Â
I would also like to point out that in that picture, he is wearing blue- but now, he primarily wears red. What is a combination of blue and red? Purple. The color of Nathalieâs suit.Â
Hmm...
Nathalie: Shh
Me:Â *handing Nooroo pots and pans*
Sheâs so desperate to help him- and look at how she treats Duusu. She isnât being cruel. Duusu just told her âNo, you should be restingâ and sheâs just like âYeah, but what if I didnât?â not âDonât tell me what to do!â or any crap like that. Instead she stops and explains herself. And then Duusu...
No, not itâs not romantic. Itâs twisted. I love Gabriel and Nathalie as a pair, but this isnât a romantic gesture. Nathalie is losing herself in her desperation to help him, get the miraculous, end it once and for all, and her desires to please Gabriel even if it means that heâs not going to want her in the end. She is fighting a losing battle, no matter what happens, sheâs going to get the short end of the stick- and it just breaks my heart that she is so willing to throw her life away when there are other ways she could be assisting him that donât include her deteriortating. Thatâs why I cried so much during this ep- she wants to prove a point by using this miraculous when it isnât necessary. And that is why I officially HATE seeing Mayura- because each time she transforms sheâs one step closer to falling down and not getting back up.Â
Also, I thought this scene was super interesting. Thatâs how she creates a sentimonster? That is so cool.Â
Moving on, when Adrien pulls out his phoneÂ
âI am Mayura, and Iâm about to annihilate Ladybug, Mwahahaha!â Points for subtlety, Hon. XD
Sheâs so cute
âIâve always gone out of my way to hide my true feelings for you but I just canât do it anymoreâ possible foreshadowing? Hmmm?? âYour feelings for me havenât changed and mine are growing stronger every dayâ I canât help but think she was speaking from her own heart in some of that.Â
And our poor little kitty
So desperate for love, he refuses to believe that
Ladybug wasnât actually moving on
âSheâs so perfectâ âIâm nowhere near as perfect as her.â
Also âSenticharm!â *gets big gun blaster thing*
âLucky Charm!â *gets fork*
Seriously Gabriel and Nathalie belong together at this rate.Â
âNathalie?!â
âNooroo why didnât you wake me up?â âI couldnt bring myself to you were sleeping so peacefullyâ because âIm scared of you and Nathalie told me to Shhâ wasnât the right response.Â
She gets tired even when using the miraculous
And she still goes out in the fieldÂ
Heeeerrres Hawky!
Legit tho, this is what an anon was talking about earlier from the Gabenath ask meme I did a while back. I said that what I look forin a fanfic would include Hawkmoth needing to save Mayura on the battlefield. And it JUST became canon. Lord have mercy, I think Iâve died XD
AlsoÂ
âYouâre the real monster!âÂ
âOh, that...youâll find out very soonâ He doesnât even care tho. Like, whereâs all his givacraps fly off to? Oh yeah thatâs right theyâre akumatizing people, they just keep flying away. Â
He is huge compared to them. And just going to town trying to whap this 14 year old girl into oblivion. Boy.Â
âAll I need to do is wait a few minutes until you two turn back into regular kids, so fragile, so easy to breakâ Absolutely no filter. Do you think thatâs going to make you seem less like a villain? We donât say stuff like that! You canât just take that back! I swear, if you have a redemption arc it had better be Paarthurnax/Zuko-level convincing because there are very few people willing to forgive you after you say things like that with no remorse.Â
âRelease herâ
You canât tell me he doesnât love her- he sucks at it, but he does. Im really hoping heâll learn from this mistake and never ask her to use the peacock miraculous again- if she uses it, it has to be on her.
âDonât mind meâ Babe if he doesnât mind you and youâre discovered then itâs just a hop skip and jump from Hawkmoth being Gabriel Agreste,Â
Heâs carrying her again
Idk if I should focus on how little Nathalie seems to care about how much danger she put herself in or the fact that we have a Gabriel booty close-up
Heâs reprimanding her, she starts coughing, her glasses fall off, and he immediately softens up.Â
Look at that soft look. And the music thatâs playing in the background? Itâs so...sad..and enhances the way heâs looking at her.Â
And now.....Adrien
As soon as the adults leave, he growls and the music gets more aggressive. Intimidating.Â
He is ticked. âBecause weâre friends arenât we?â that was just laced with venom and malice. They say demons run when a good man goes to war.Â
Well Adrienâs started packing. Lila better watch her step.Â
And in the end, she basically outed herself as a pathological liar. She admitted it, though she likely didnât word it that way.Â
Well, thatâs all I have to say. Remember, God made you special and he loves you very much. *veggie tales theme starts playing*
