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.
Taylor Swift releasing a book with Speak Now ?!
Speak Now was released 2010, which is the same year Chely Wright came out publicly. The ATW mv referenced a book release "13 years later"
She mentions July 9 in her Speak Now announcement
