#tough day to be anti gaylor

[namegoesup]

"weird rumors" "rabid speculation"

[bettyshoweduptotheparty]

the way the anti-hero prophecy is coming true and even the most loyal gaylors are now leaving cuz theyre tired of her scheming..shes alienating the ppl that actually see and understand her the most

I don't think it's a prophecy so much as a fear of hers... but yeah, a lot of people are frustrated and I can understand those feelings. If you've not been around pre-2016 (as a gaylor) this is the first time for many on this ever rotating carrousel of public beards and it's tough for some people to watch.

But let me tell you (as someone who has been a fan and casual gaylor since 2013) we've just been spoiled with this stable situation she was in for the last 6 years where she had this unproblematic English guy we barely ever saw, the now situation is much more common in the playbook of bearding relationships and was pretty much standard for Taylor pre-2016. And being single also did her no favours, the media and fans will always speculate who she's dating unless she's in a confirmed stable relationship. I think the whole Kim and Kanye situation and reputation for fast-changing boyfriends required a different approach and that's where Joe came in. I don't think she was aware that it would be this spectacle again when she wrote Anti Hero, it's just the general awareness that it's no fun to be a gaylor most of the time because she's no hero. I'm not sure if it's comforting or frustrating that she fully acknowledges she's the problem, yet continues to do the same things over and over again...

You've got to be in it for the fun bits rather than the gut punches, because those are guaranteed to happen. And don't feel stupid for feeling beat down by her actions, take a step back if needed, it's valid to see someone and hope they live their truth one day and then be disappointed when they continue to deny that truth and cater to those that don't deserve it. I always think we'll be the lucky ones if she's ever ready to let the world in on her secret, but if not, it'll just stay a wink-and-a-nod game between us. And it's ok if that's not your thing.
