Taylor Swift Has Led Her Fans Down Another Gay Rabbit Hole

Like, you’ve got to understand that from my perspective, the whole of the 2010s was this mounting tension in like, the ~conception of society~ that I faced, permitted to pass over me and through me, assembled a not-insignificant coalition in the face of (that you’re part of), as it reached height with actual mobs on the streets of my town I fell into some sort of mythical slumber, and when I came out of the chrysalis not only had I been improved in several ways that don’t happen, but basically everything in the culture has churned through to be eerily ideal-for-me

Like, it has become a mainstream understanding that Taylor Swift, the artist of her generation, is using incredibly fine lyrical control to intertwine her persona with the zeitgeist through implication.

It’s weird
