a line by line analysis of peter from a translor perspective! 🧵
i'm aware this thread is unreasonably long, sorry about that, summarised version coming soon :P
someone in my mentions said "the prophecy is about matty healy" and... that just makes me really sad. she wrote a heartwrenching song about feeling like she's disqualified herself from love - like her destiny is loneliness and all you think of is some man? plss value her art more
but daddy i love him is gay. if you can't see past he/him pronouns idk what to tell you, this is extremely gay. this is lesbianism. this is everything.

this is ur devastating reminder that wisteria grows downwards from trees and trellises, so taylor's feet are not on the ground in this fantasy of hers
i think we moved past taylor naming an album after emily dickinson's letter sign off to her lover and releasing it on her birthday too fast. the queer history she's connected us to is so sacred to me
my secret is that i don't really care if gaylor theories are "true", partly because truth is untouchable when it comes to her, but mostly because i look around and see queer people sharing their stories with each other, queer history being studied, queer community blossoming. 1/2
i am so fucking tired
fortnight is not an archaic english term this is not a joe alwyn reference PLEASE i think it's jjst in her vocab bc she's mr worldwide
do any of my american oomfs use this word in daily life i must know. to me it's just as commonplace as saying two weeks
i'm actually really grateful for chloe or sam or sophia or marcus and it's consequences for the community. she's inserting queerness into her discography very casually, and it's not necessarily HER queerness so it can be accepted to be apart of the TSCU to some degree
so let me get this straight: taylor left her childhood and emerged in a GLASS BOX where she knew to PERFORM and then when she found love and tried to escape for it she found she was stuck there???
are we as a fandom ready to discuss how the impact of taylurking was the same as panopticism and has created a culture of "don't ever criticise taylor, she might be watching!" like she is god
and i don't for a second believe that was her intention, but the impact is undeniable
taylor, as a public figure, is a mirrorball, when you talk about her, you tell me about you. which words of taylor's do you find queerness in? how does your reflection in her glass closet look?
i want to know you. i want to know what it is to be queer in the 21st century. 2/2
trying to say this as lowercase as possible bc it will get me double cancelled
but either swiftgron was resurrected or she is running out of metaphors for love
and i don't think it's the latter
maybe this is just the autistic tendency to identify really strongly w my special interest but it makes me really sad when other queer people make fun of gaylors :(
@worstb3haviorr
personally i think given the way this song starts (first photo), the line repeated throughout when she herself is a poet (second photo), and the other themes of su1c1de on this album (third and fourth photo), this is likely what she meant, but that's just my thoughts
the crowd goes wild at her fingertips, but half of what she's sharing is just moonshine (fiction) and despite her fame she remains fully eclipsed - fully concealed.
"...the boundaries between truth and diction become almost indiscernible. Speculation, over time, becomes fact"
taylor is peter
taylor is The Man
taylor is Queer
these are hills i will die on
maybe literally i get very overwhelmed by my special interests i have autism
the way taylor is able to contrast two lines that are literally almost identical but have them mean such different things is incredible. her lyricism is to die for
truly cannot stop thinking about "half moonshine, full eclipse" bc if she makes half of her story up she is fully hidden!!!!! we can't separate fact from fiction!!!!! she's eclipsed omfg
my wheelchair that all my lovers here bought me, ft. the folklore cardigan i just finished knitting 🫶🫶🫶 thank you so much for this, this community has genuinely changed my life. i love you all so much
high infidelity is about how taylor's queerness (and hiding it) impacts every relationship in her life (personal and parasocial) - a thread! 🧵
i'd rly rly rly appreciate it if you read and rt if it resonates, it took a lot of work and i hope it'll be worth your time :) <3
this is why taylor flags btw. billie has been very obviously queer for a long time even attempting to come out more than once, but when she made her queerness explicit this happens. taylor is driven by success and explicitly coming out threatens that.
hi gaylors! been a gaylor for quite a while and i started this account like two days before the breakup (best timing ever!!!) looking for gaylor mutuals so feel free to follow or retweet to help me find friends on here! thank youuu
being a gaylor being a cancelable offence is so funny. just say a bryanlicious2 callous thread and it was just evidence he's a gaylor. please be serious we just think a multi-millionaire is gay because she doesn't stop doing gay shit and we're gay too it's really not that deep
i can't believe she released THIS and ppl twisted it into "she's talking about herself" like this woman CANNOT WIN‼️ i would also be screaming "look at me" on a giant screen during eras
very quick thread on why i read ☆the alchemy☆ as a PR relationship/bearding song 🧵
this is just my interpretation and you are more than welcome to disagree! keep enjoying tayvis if you want, it's fun!
i can never be convinced that chappell is an industry plant bc how did i become a fan? random 20-somethings on gaylor twitter with day jobs told me to listen.... ur gonna tell me cc is an industry gardener??? that's oomf 😭😭😭😭
some of y'all need to remember you have trans moots tbh
like travis kelce won't see you saying his body hair is disgusting, but ur transmasc moots who finally feel at home in their bodies bc of body hair (or any other masculine feature you're hating) on will!
patti smith looked gay bc of her masculine presentation but was straight, taylor looks straight (to straight people at least) because of her feminine presentation but is g-
chloe or sam or sophia or marcus she canonical dated a bisexual????
her strat is to change the culture entirely so bisexuality is the assumed sexuality and then she doesn't have to come out
question - one of her most explicitly gay songs, then "they see right through me" which means is a double edged sword her anxiety brandishes:
- they know i'm queer, this is power they have over me
- they never see i'm queer, i gave so many signs, will i always be invisible?
Hundreds of Taylor Swift fans swarm London pub The Black Dog after
#TSTTPD
album shout-out.
The staff at the pub say they are now frantically searching through their CCTV archives to try to find footage of either Taylor Swift or Joe Alwyn visiting the premises in the past.
@grouponm0m
i think shes hurt by the public response tbh, like she wishes she hadnt (or didn't want to in the first place) addressed it bc now its undeniable to the homophobes unlike flagging or subtly coming out
FROOMFS (friend oomfs) MY OFFICIAL DISABILITY PAYMENT GOT APPROVED AND NOW I HAVE LIKE A TIIINY BIT OF DISPOSABLE INCOME (still barely enough to live) BUT OH WELL IM SO HAPPY
the funny thing about telling gaylors to get help is if we actually went to a therapist about this, concerned about psychosis or something, and told them The Lore they would probably just agree she's gay lmao
i have to assume they mean conversion therapy
