I've always felt it was the fans projecting their feelings onto Taylor.

THIS
This thing is q anon levels of delusional and I still regularly see it.
I wish people would spend their energy upholding actual queer artists

(Anonymous) 2023-10-15 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't understand the point of it. I agree with what you said about not trying to out celebrities who haven't come out.

(Anonymous) 2023-10-15 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I think on some level it's a subset of queer fans who identify with her songs, but instead of taking it as the perfectly fine self-projection onto her work that it is, they instead argue that this means she's secretly queer? Which is nonsense because an artist doesn't have to be the same as you, or have the same life for you to find meaning or identity in the music. It's kind of the point that music can reach all of us regardless of background and that's the beauty of it.

I have zero investment in Taylor Swift but not gonna lie, if it turned out she was some flavour of queer and everything we know about her is just a performative cis het show she's putting on for the sake of her career - that's a level of ruthlessness I could totally respect. Obviously it would be utterly shitty if she was made/felt pressured to be in the closet, but if it was her own decision she was at peace with because she cared more about business than (romantic) love? Heck yeah.

People who take conspiracy theories way too seriously are just fucking insufferable, but I guess at least here I could see what the theorists would have to gain from it. But this is still a real person, and like you said, it's not cool to take it to these levels whether or not she was closeted.

(Anonymous) 2023-10-15 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe this is nuts, but I kind of wonder if it's because she's so gender conforming cishet that people think (and wish) that there's something more subversive going on behind the scenes. Otherwise she's a rich white girl pop star with broad appeal including to groups like fundie Christians and alt-right whackjobs and that's... not altogether comfortable for some people.

alt-right whackjobs

They hate her now. They're pretending she's ugly and unsuccessful, it's absolutely weird.

(Anonymous) 2023-10-16 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
I'm gonna guess it has something to do with her getting young people to the polls and the way young people have historically voted.

(Anonymous) 2023-10-16 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
that and her dating Kelce, who's apparently gotten on the right's bad side by being in ads for Pfizer and Budlite, which are both big NO NOs :(

I mean, she is a very successful woman, emphasis on "woman." Leftists often forget wealthy straight white cis women still don't check all the privilege boxes out there.

(Anonymous) 2023-10-15 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
To me she comes across as totally sexless.

(Anonymous) 2023-10-16 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
You're the type of person who thinks they can tell who's gay and who's straight just by looking at them as they pass by on the street, aren't you.

(I have no opinion on Taylor Swift.)

(Anonymous) 2023-10-16 11:16 am (UTC)(link)
Oh no, this woman is singing about men and her hetero relationships, she is only hwve seen with guys SHE MUST BE GAY /s
She is either really hetero or really really in the closet (as OP says). And if she is in the closet all the speculations arenvt looking good.

You sound like deranged J2 fan if we are making assumptions

(Anonymous) 2023-10-16 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean, if I found out tomorrow that she was on the aro/ace spectrum somewhere I would feel absolutely no surprise, but she has never been or tried to be some kind of queer icon except in some of her fans’ minds.
