snuck in through the garden gate every night that summer to get my pussy ate or whatever it was that taylor swift said
so many questions like….. did taylor know karlie was going to be there? she must have known, right? well in advance too. did she plan the announcement specifically because of her, or just decided to do it anyway once she found out? we know she’s online, we know she not unaware of how people are reacting, and that it’s very predictable. like…. did karlie know? there would be an announcement? she definitely knew there would be a reaction, ive seen her tiktok comments. has she seen any parts of the show before? or will she be seeing vigilante shit for the first time live? i have never cared so much about celebrity drama in my life!
Oh, damn, never seen that color blue
announcing a re-recording in nashville, where big machine resides, is such a power move. I hope scooter braun and scott borchetta have a horrible night. get fucked.
im sure lots of people will listen to TTPD and discount it because she talks about matty in it (and ofc people have their valid issues with him, but im not gonna go into that), but the whole lead up to the album has been “we’re investigating,” and imo a lot of us took that as her saying “we’re investigating why my relationship ended” whereas the album is actually about “we’re investigating this caricature of a girl who went through something life-changing, and she has apparently gone crazy” and she’s basically done a public autopsy of herself; something that the media/fans/public have done since the beginning, but this time around she was like “i’ll do it to myself.”
hence, the album aesthetic feels so sterile too imo. she’s trying to distance herself from the subject but!!!!!! she is the subject. and in conclusion, i think what she’s really putting down is “the summary of the investigation of this girl is that she went insane because of what happened to her, but it’s hopefully gonna be okay”
sidenote: i think what we need to take away from the album is to… let her live…
"... she’s not a pop star, or a classic rocker, or anything that has come before. She’s Taylor Swift."

Taylor, I hate to break it to you, but this is very much not keeping your side of the street clean.
Ok so as a tumblr gaylor I have a few things to say about the leaked prologue.
Firstly, I don't think that passage was referring to people wondering if she may be queer so much as asking people not to sexualize her friendships, which if you weren't around in the OG 1989 era, happened a lot in mainstream media and was much different than a small group of gaylors on tumblr dot com.
That being said, I will not be speculating about Taylor's relationships with specific women she was friends with.
However, queer close reading of text is a valid and recognized discipline in academia. It is completely fair of me, as a gay person, to hear and find queer themes in Taylor's music. This is not me "outing" her, or speculating anything, just relating to themes that I find in my own life.
The final thing I want to say is that people are seemingly only focused on the part of the prologue that they think references gaylors, and not about the part right before it that asks to stop speculating about her relationships with men. I feel like whenever she asks people not to speculate about her relationships, gaylors are hit way harder than hetlors, who continue to do things like put Taylor and Travis's faces into AI software to generate what their baby might look like, and making pregnancy edits of her. Speculation is speculation, and if you want to come down on gaylors, you have to come down on the hetlors as well.
I, too, have wanted to jump off buildings because of women :)
