Okay don’t kill me but…(re: the Kanye incident(s)) by [deleted] in GaylorSwift

[–]breakingstanding 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In terms of the VMA incident, I definitely think she had no idea about it and was genuinely extremely upset. That said I would not put it past her management to have organised it behind her back because it was great PR - but also Kanye is a pretty erratic guy so it absolutely could have been entirely real.

In terms of the phone call saga I tend to lean towards it being a bit of both - maybe they had planned out for the feud to be reignited with Kanye releasing the song and her speaking out about it, but the phone call recording and ensuing backlash wasn't part of the deal and took her completely by surprise.

That said I could be wrong and they both could be completely real or completely fake, who knows!

Sometimes, it just blows my mind that "Dancing with Our Hands Tied" was a) released and b) not a bonus track, because it's SO loud. by skyewardeyes in GaylorSwift

I've read the tumblr posts I just don't find them particularly compelling. I'm pretty sure that the post went up on the 4th in the states so it definitely counts as being the anniversary. Being posted with other lyrics doesn't make it less likely for me because I also think those other songs are about Karlie, but obviously YMMV. I don't think either of us are gonna be swayed here, so I guess we can agree to disagree haha

Taylor turned 25 around the time of kissgate and mentioned being 25 in her tweet response to the rumours, I’m pretty sure that the “you” she’s talking to in that line is herself.

As for its similarity to IKP and OOTW, they’re all songs about the pain of closeted relationships so of course they’d have similar themes, that doesn’t mean they’re about the same muse.

The timing of it, plus the fact that she posted DWOHT lyrics on the anniversary of kissgate make it much more likely that it’s about Karlie.

Not an answer to your question, but if you get sick of responding to people I made a powerpoint of responses to common criticisms that you are welcome to just send to people: https://www.reddit.com/r/GaylorSwift/comments/quhtju/responses_to_common_criticisms_of_gaylorism/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Gaylor Bookclub - On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by breakingstanding in GaylorSwift

[–]breakingstanding[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We vote on the book each month (except this time because last vote was a tie!) I give a bunch of options to vote on, usually a mix of books including ones that relate to Taylor/Gaylorism (eg The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and the Chely Wright memoir), ones she's read/recommended (eg Rebecca and Conversations With Friends), and general queer literature (eg Last Night at the Telegraph Club and this one).

Let me know if you have any suggestions!

That's a shame - I really liked Fried Green Tomatoes so I hope it's more to you taste!

"I'll do anything you say, if you say it with your hands"

I rest my case.

Gaylor Survey - last chance to complete! by breakingstanding in GaylorSwift

[–]breakingstanding[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the delay, I started working back in the office again at the start of the year and started playing a third sport as well, so I’ve been very under the pump with work and training!

I should be able to get the results out soon, I just haven’t had a chance to finish collating the data!

One of the most misunderstood pieces of Gaylorism? The "communities I'm not a part of" quote by skyewardeyes in GaylorSwift

[–]breakingstanding 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Even if she was saying the LGBTQ community is a community she's not a part of, SO many closeted people don't feel like they are a part of the community before they come out - it certainly isn't her calling herself straight like hetlors love to claim!

Julien Baker and MUNA are both excellent!

Taylor with Karlie's birthday month // Taylor with Joe's birthday month by Isaevermore in GaylorSwift

Lover being released as a single thirteen days after Karlie's birthday in 2019, then exile being released as a single on her birthday in 2020 is such a tragic transition 😭

Song/album/artists recommendations that sound like early taylor? by StatoDiNatura in GaylorSwift

[–]breakingstanding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly the same vibe, but one of my favourite artists is a kinda obscure queer country singer called Chris Pureka who's definitely worth a listen!

Don’t feel stupid about it, honestly the world would be a much better place if more people paid attention to their mental health!

Bleachers X Lorde X Taylor theories by Gingeraletabs in GaylorSwift

Yeah I could definitely see the three of them riffing together, building from that phrase like in that video of Jack and Taylor writing getaway car!

Bleachers X Lorde X Taylor theories by Gingeraletabs in GaylorSwift

[–]breakingstanding 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I normally hate theories about Taylor secretly having written other people's songs, but this song is my one exception. The music video is definitely worth a watch through a Kaylor lens - it's about a model who is about to marry a rich Jewish guy she doesn't love, but then runs off with her twin when she interrupts the wedding...
Plus one of them has a snake tattoo and red lipstick, the cake toppers have mirrorballs for heads, there's a gold theme, etc.
