So, to pick up on references I went back and relistened to Red through Reputation. My main takeaway from hearing them all in a row:

Taylor Swift has a frankly hilarious number of lines that are like “oh, and I’m amazing in bed”

Which, like, at this point she’s basically a shapeshifting empath who’s also an obsessive crazy chick, I bet so

But I thought on that more, and honestly, that’s a real, important theme in her work, that the reason you should want to get with her isn’t that she’s hot, it’s that she’s an excellent lover

Like, that’s even You Belong With Me, once you add in the way she uses “know” as the correct idiom to relate to a lover - to memorize them so completely you carry a working model of them within yourself.

Taylor Swift is demisexual as hell

(The YBWM video is about the good lover version of Taylor, the one who unguardedly sings, and dances, and communicates through writing, proving her superiority to the merely hot version of Taylor, with the bonus that the good lover version cleans up to be pretty hot)

…

I feel kind of weird admitting I find her sexually attractive, not least ‘cause, you know who’s known for lurking tumblr reading posts about Taylor Swift and only much later letting on that she saw everything? Taylor Swift.

But I mean, she puts a lot of effort and energy into convincing people they should want to fuck Taylor Swift, it would almost be ruder to not. Plus, she’s the last person that gets to give anyone shit for having a thing for celebrities, honestly one of the most charming things about her is how openly kid-in-a-candy-store psyched she is that she gets to fuck celebrities.

I suppose when you think about it, Taylor Swift writes fanfic about hooking up with Taylor Swift for a living, ever since she was a teenager. (She specializes in angst, slow burn, friends to lovers, and celebrity pairings)
