Obviously
So, aparently and according to Closer, Travis is having doubts about Taylor and their relationship. The articule says he still loves her but the public talking about how they may be pr and the rumour about her marriage with Joe (that is confirmed by Tree Pain to not be true) are messing with him.
The articule is very detailed, almost as if they read the mind of Kelce, and I cannot help but ask, how would they know? What I am trying to say is, this really looks like they are trying to craft a narrative around their relationships. The magazine is most likely not making that up, but been told by sources from Taylor and Travis team.
This is all really campy and reminds me of the Tom Hiddleston pre-reputation pr stunt, and it completely makes sense for them to do that.
If we take a closer look to Taylors public persona during the re recording era, she really tried and recreate her public dating life for the time of the albums original release when the re recording was going to be released. Previously to Speak Now TV she dated Matty Healy, a really cuestionable guy that swifties dont like. Pre 1989TV release she started being a lot more public with friends and starting dating Kalce out of the blue, which really draws paralels to her girlsquad and her relationship with Harry Styles or Calvin Harris, I am not really sure which one she might be recreating (and maybe Kelce is the mix of both Styles and Harris).
Now, in the pre reputation era, and if this pattern is not me reading a lot into her every move, it makes a lot of sense that Kelce has now gone from the character of Styles/Harris of 1989 to the Tom Hiddleston of reputation, all public and unashamed.
I dont know where she is going with all this public performances she is making, and maybe Travlor is a real, genuine, happy relationship (which good for her because everyone deserves true, happy, genuine love) but that is my take on it.
Not every unpleasant experience you have is a trauma. However, I think we can all agree that not getting tickets to the eras tour is the biggest trauma anyone can have

I just read a re-post of one of my post from a non-gaylor, and I would like to say it was a really good, respectful answer that explained their point of view perfectly and, by any means, this post is an attemp to start beef or anything.
Being said that, one of the points that really standed out to me was how some fans would "force a queer identity on her" (not quoting them, just summarizing) and how twisting lyrics to hold a narrative or using certain interpretation of a song, was not healthy, in reference to the connection I made to the album midnights and Taylors queerness.
Now, I would like to ask, isnt twisting a lyric to fit a narrative how people started saying that Taylor was the "argumentative antithetical dream girl" she refers to in hits different, when is crearly (and is a question of grammar and basic language comprension) refering to the muse of the song?
Bet I could still melt your world, argumentative antithetical dream girl. Are you kidding me?? How could you posible say this makes sense if she was refering to herself???
Then, the paternity test constantly done by swifties to look for the muse of a song is nothing more than a certain interpretation of the lyric to fit the narrative. So that is not a thing exclusive to gaylors, almost every swiftie does it.
Now, that is what I like to call a double standard. I am not shaming the original autor of the post that have inspired this text, but pointing out a more societal problem. Very often, speculation and shipping and reading into things, if done in a hetero way is okay but do not dare to do it in a way that relates to queerness.
About the "forcing a queer identity on her", there is a thing, done through history called flagging. Safo was doing it in ancient Grecee, so did Oscar Wilde and more recently Elton John or James Dean. There are signals of the queer community to signal discretely to other lgbtq+ that they are one of them.
Taylor is not subtle about her flagging. She went out in a bi pride colored jacket to sing "and you can want who you want, boys and boys and girls and girls". She did sing about wearing someone like a necklace. She did spray paint her paint the bi colors to her gay pride music video. Use the lyric hair pin drop more than once. She puts lesbian flag colors as the main lighting in her world wide tour. And much much more. Is obvious, really out there for the people who want to see it to see.
Once you see that, you have no option but to hope she is queer; because if she was not, she would only be a straight girl that harmed the queer comunity by taking all the simbolisim that lgbtq+ people have built througt the ages and making it hetero to the mainstream, erasing the very little history the comunity has managed to create in the opressed world that it had have to endure.
So, even if I think that the answer to my previous post was really well written and respectful, I do not think it is a really nuance take.
PD: To the person behind the original blog that posted the answer, if you have read this and recognised yourself on it, just know this is not a personal attack and I apologize before hand if that felt like that to you.
Genuine question, who do non-gaylors think the whole midnights album is about??
