Whether she is conscious of it or not, Ms. Swift signals to queer people — in the language we use to communicate with one another — that she has some affinity for queer identity. There are some queer people who would say that through this sort of signaling, she has already come out, at least to us. 

~in the goddamn New York Times~

I don’t think the timing of the Emily/Taylor related announcement is coincidental

The most obvious reasoning for this being shared now is to draw parallels between Emily and Taylor as poets

However, I wonder if we might receive a song that Taylor wrote from “Emily’s perspective” on TTPD

So I came across this comment on a random reddit post…

I had never heard that before, but the first thing I thought of was all the pearl imagery in Taylor’s latest video.

Pearls, pearls & more pearls. Maybe something, maybe nothing at all. Just thought it was worth a share. ⚪️

bro...hold on...shes also referencing the failed coming out of 2019. and has been ever since folklore. lover came out in august. 'august slipped away like a bottle of wine cuz you were never mine'...going insane. she tells the story of her life through love songs bc she knows thats the only way to get & keep people's attention. 'I'm still trying everything To keep you looking at me'

You said some things that I can't unabsorb

You turned me into an idea of sorts

You needed me, but you needed drugs more

And I couldn't watch it happen

I changed into goddesses, villains and fools

Changed plans and lovers and outfits and rules

All to outrun my desertion of you

And you just watched it

this play was about us. how the public viewed the ME! and 'you need to calm down' songs & music videos. she gave so many signs. she tried to tell us a million little times. she reinvented herself over and over to try and make us see. some of us did, most of her fans and the world at large didn't. now shes burning all her past lives. shes going to come out and destroy everything she built in the name of being her true self.

the more i listen to TTPD the more convinced I become shes not talking about being in love in any of the songs at all & all the references to muses are just red herrings for fans to look past, & shes really just talking about her relationship with the music industry & her fanbase

Before TTPD, has Taylor ever used any typewriter imagery/references?

funny you should ask,

oh! & of course:

(i honestly feel like every time taylor calls love 'wild' she is calling back to this, & dickinson in general)

can we talk about 'the albatross' reference to 'candle in the wind'??

"Wise men once said / 'Wild winds are death to the candle'"

like??

this really is for tortured gay people with depression i love it

put narcotics into all of my songs and that’s why you’re still singing along

What if Taylor uses the theme of an eclipse so often because she views her image (Taylor TM) as the moon, which blocks us from seeing her true muse (the sun)
