Swifties are turning against Taylor due to a Title Track (literally)

The Gaylors Are Turning on Taylor Swift

 

Last night, Taylor Swift announced that the first track on her upcoming album Midnights would be called “Lavender Haze.” For a brief moment Gaylors — the community of people who believe Swift is queer — were celebrating, as they assumed Swift’s use of a historically queer color in the song’s title meant that they were winning. Then she elaborated.

 

''I happened upon the phrase “lavender haze” when I was watching Mad Men and I looked it up, because I thought it sounded cool and it turns out that it was a common phrase used in the ’50s where they would just describe being in love. Like, if you were in the lavender haze, that meant you were in that all-encompassing love glow, and I thought that was really beautiful… I guess theoretically when you're in the lavender haze, you'll do anything to stay there and not let people bring you down off of that cloud. And I think a lot of people have to deal with this now —not just, like, quote-unquote public figures — because we live in the era of social media and if the world finds out that you're in love with somebody, they're gonna weigh in on it. Like my relationship for six years, we've had to dodge weird rumors, tabloid stuff, and we just ignore it and so this song is sort of about the act of ignoring that stuff to protect the real stuff. I hope you guys like it.''

 

They did not like it. The penultimate sentence in Swift’s video imploded the Gaylor community. Referencing her relationship with Joe Alwyn was one thing, but calling out “weird rumors” was, to them, a direct attack on them specifically. To give you the general tenor of the Gaylor community at the moment, here’s a video posted by Kaelee Overfield, who the New York Times recently dubbed “The Lesbian Perez Hilton of TikTok”:

What a bunch of morons. I can't stand Taylor Swift, but I've never heard that phrase and I think her using it fits perfectly to her feelings and it is a good way to describe those feelings of being in love.

I also didn't know lavendar was stolen and seemingly not allowed to be used in any other context that has now been applied to it.
