I don't know enough about her to get what you mean, but I'm intrigued. Please elaborate

Hung out with a bunch of gay dudes last night. They were awesome.

OK so. I first started sensing ~vibes a long time ago when clicking absentmindedly through youtube videos. I'm not sure what it was exactly-- some sort of Taylor Swift Interview Compilation?-- and I noticed she had wayyy more chemistry with even a random female red carpet interviewer than she had with any of her alleged ""boyfriends"" from her Red/1989 days. But, that was just a minor thing I noticed. There was also the super gay song she wrote for her ex-bandmate, Emily or something, called Breathe I think? not only that, but T H I S video she made for her and posted on her old Myspace page a long time ago, featuring the lyrics "You have stolen my heart":



Heterosexual young women simply do not do such things. But, sure, it could be nothing, you could say. Straight women can have weirdly intense, borderline-romantic friendships at that age.

BUT THEN.

Karlie Kloss.

Something like 5 years ago, this one person I followed on tumblr (or twitter, idk) kept posting paparazzi pictures of Taylor out and about with her apparent new best friend, Karlie Kloss the supermodel. I thought, "OK, another PR friendship I assume, why are you posting this" but THEN this super gay Vogue photoshoot happened, featuring Taylor and Karlie looking very domestic in an RV and, also, walking through the desert in white dresses as though they both just got married after leaving their beards. I thought, Hmm, that's a bit odd; you'd think they wouldn't want to share the spotlight of a Vogue spread since they're both so fame hungry. Meanwhile, I'm sure, Buzzfeed and gossip magazines were writing gushy articles about how they're such good "gal pals". Just look at this:



Anyway I kept seeing increasingly blatantly (not imagined) gay photos/videos featuring this Karlie Kloss. Like an instagram post of some little road trip they took to Big Sur, captioned with a lyric from Taylor's song "You Are In Love." Oh, and then that blurry video came out of Taylor and Karlie kissing at a concert. I mean...

Granted, Taylor Swift may also be one of those tragically un self aware women who have a great deal of violently repressed love/longing for women but just tell themselves otherwise. Taylor seems to have a tendency to #NoHomo her gayer songs when it's totally unnecessary to do so. Also, if you're familiar with the formerly closeted country singer Chely Wright, one can't help but notice certain parallels. I watched a short interview clip of her once, where Chely was talking about how the industry forces pop and country stars to closet themselves; she referred to it as, of all things, a "big machine" which coincidentally is also the name of the music label Taylor Swift started out on. So I just wonder if she Knows Things.

So, yeah. It's a bunch of little things that have added up and become suspicious over the years. Her gayest songs, IMO are: Breathe, Dress, Seven, It's Nice To Have a Friend, So It Goes (which includes the lyrics "wear you like a necklace".. I mean), I Know Places, Dancing With Our Hands Tied, Gorgeous, Gold Rush, and ofc Betty (she has numerous songs that are "FrOm tHe gUy's pErSpEcTiVe" and her fans don't even blink 'cuz they're dumb)

Well, I am right!! It can't be helped.

That is quality material, Chio; whatever her sexual orientation is, that video is certainly gay as hell. And the good ol' guys perspective too.
Also, ouch to the comment about weirdly intense straight friendships. That **** is cute but so ****ing confusing.

Chio I am always down to read trashy celebrity gossip so if you want to make a thread about it you will have at least one reader.

You wouldn't listen to "Softly He Belches"?

Thanks! Believe it or not I was trying to be brief. I truly could write a Russian novel about so many frivolous things like this. (Or anything really. I need several penpals to get it all out of my system.)

And yes, those sort of friendships were always SO very vexing and exhausting at times.

I HAVE contemplated making a Taylor Swift thread for the sole purpose of psychoanalyzing her + speculating about her past alleged affairs with her female "bffs". Oh, there's also the wildly entertaining "Kaylor" fandom who staunchly believe that she and Karlie Kloss are secretly married. They're all completely insane, even to me.

I have a LOT of Taylor Swift related thoughts. Obviously I am a pop music fan in general. But I generally don't pay attention to the gossip surrounding most of the current pop girls as most of them don't seem terribly complex based solely on their whole ~vibe. Whereas Taylor Swift feels like this chaotic vortex of ambitious horse girl energy, repressed lesbianism/bisexuality, and awkwardness which is all barely contained by her extremely calculated, ever-changing PR strategy over the years (which I do believe she is actually actively involved with unlike many celebrities, with the help of her pretty redheaded publicist who she seems weirdly attached to)-- almost as if she's overcompensating for some deep dark secret perhaps???!! And NOW with her last 2 albums, Folklore and Evermore or whatever, (and her documentaries in which she tries so so very hard to seem natural and off the cuff when clearly she is anything but) you just know she probably gazes at herself in a golden mirror like some fairytale witch before her evening blood bath while telling herself "I am literally Joni Mitchell. I am the #1 Most Heterosexual Indie-Pop Songstress. I WILL win an EGOT."

I've always been sort of vaguely curious about the modern day celebrities who a.) have an inexplicably weird aura about them despite not being outwardly eccentric necessarily and b.) do NOT make themselves seem super accessible and hashtag relatable, (as most do nowadays) and instead maintain an aura of mystery and/or go out of their way to push an overly elaborate PR narrative about themselves/their life (Taylor Swift manages to do BOTH those things simultaneously) to a ridiculous degree as, again, it makes me wonder what they are trying to distract from. BUT I will stop here so as not to go too off-topic in this thread; if I feel compelled to share more Taylor Swift thoughts I GUESS I'll make a thread. And, obviously, I have lots of Britney Spears thoughts too, so.. OH AND OF COURSE early to mid 2000s gossip, particularly anything involving members of the Rock of Love/Daisy of Love seasons 1-2 cast (truly 2 of the most iconic unhinged reality shows of that era). I wonder if it should just be a general Pop Culture Gossip Thread so I can just go hog wild along with whoever else. As I do also love the incredibly stupid show Vanderpump Rules, partly due to the fact that some of them could easily be characters from IASIP.

Do you have thoughts on all the rumors of Dolly Parton being a lesbian?
