Listening to Better than Revenge and oh my god, Taylor Swift was obviously bi this whole time, wasn’t she?

the really funny thing here today is the absolute power imbalance, like we’re talking about a kinda slutty Disneylodeon actress on one hand and on the other Taylor fucking Swift

you think she still felt like doing what she was doing?

the song is literally IM GONNA GET REALLY INTENSE ABOUT HOW A GIRL I KNOW USES HER SEXUALITY, IN PUBLIC, WHERE EVERYONE CAN SEE US

Already have to footnote New Romantics that “he can’t see it in my face but I’m about to play my ace” is a Lady Gaga reference

Listening to Better than Revenge and oh my god, Taylor Swift was obviously bi this whole time, wasn’t she?

The thing is really someone coming from outside an established Hollywood family when Jake Gyllenhaal did would not have had either the necessary connections or the dynastic instinct to cover up his bisexuality

There is, or at least at the time was, a Hollywood pressure against “outing” people that was less about what it would mean in any particular circumstance than just preventing an “outing”-based paramedia ecology from establishing itself in the first place

My stake in this is I assume Taylor Swift was bi too and I want Red to be recognized as the first great bi m/f masterpiece

Like “oh ha ha, she’s really just BPD!” would be more compelling if I did not know multiple girls who used Taylor Swift to recognize their own bisexuality as a path out of BPD

You know you don’t have to conclude they were in a relationship to think a bisexual Taylor probably picked something up from Karlie Kloss re: the presentation of femininity for public consumption!

A lot of it seems to be unpacking what “a girl being desired” is really doing for them

Taylor Swift’s been releasing increasingly avant-garde and conceptual stuff lately (consider that her latest album is a cover of her decade-ago masterpiece), it would be really interesting for her to compose and record a totally new soundtrack for The Virgin Suicides (1999) to replace the original Air one

It is my learned inference that Taylor Swift was probably best to fuck on the 1989 tour when she was writing Reputation.

You know, “being driven around the highways of southeastern Pennsylvania as ‘80s-born kids, listening to 'adult alternative’ radio and looking at the sunny landscape scenery” is quite literally both my and Taylor Swift’s origin stories

Tumblr is my favourite social media site because this place is literally uninhabitable for celebrities. No verification system, no algorithm that boosts their posts, it’s a completely lawless wasteland for them

Except Neil Gaiman.

Neil Gaiman goes on Tumblr to avoid writing and honestly, same.

In fairness Taylor Swift stuck around for longer than you’d expect

I mean, I talk about how the conceit of the YBWM video was perfect, that Taylor Swift is the nerdy girl next door and the bitchy popular girl, like, the next door one definitely had a [tumblr]

An amusing thing is for all the intimacy and her baiting on recent albums I’m not sure you could go back through Red and realize Jake Gyllenhaal was bisexual

Tumblr. It’s a place for fandom.

So when I say that Taylor Swift is positioning to be Empress of America, overseeing American culture (the nation, across however many American states), the last person to come within shouting distance of that role was Oprah Winfrey, and Taylor was aware that was the endstate much earlier in the process

Oh, I suppose Taylor Swift specializing in close-touch affect mastery for mimicry or commentary should’ve clued me in a Red cover album would be worthwhile; the last of bonus tracks, about going back in time, makes clear it’s intended as a portal, I had in fact been treating the original 2012 Red as an artifact from the last good time and if we’re all being invited to pick up from there and keep going sure. Ave tayswift regina americanorum.

Oh Jesus, I just realized that before when I tried to listen to the Taylor’s Version Red my phone speakers were just blown out in ways that washed out a lot of the subtlety into crap

Completely, I haven’t even heard an “Imma let you finish” snowclone in years

hi guys :) heres my growing collection of taylor swift deepfaked on to monkeys

This is horrifying and unnecessary, keep up the good work

So I’ve said for a while that Taylor Swift regularly deliberately writes her lyrics to accommodate multiple readings. My theory for this one, off 2019’s Lover, is that past the obvious sick-loved-one reading, there’s a reading where Taylor Swift is singing it to America

And I hate to make this all about me

But who am I supposed to talk to?

What am I supposed to do

If there’s no you?

This won’t go back to normal, if it ever was

It’s been years of hoping, and I keep saying it because

‘Cause I have to
