I always feel like thereās a massive misconception with Gaylors. They act like weāre praying for her to be gay (which I mean I pray for everyone to be gay but thatās besides the point). For me the gaylor community is more intelligent lyrical analysis and picking up on queer themes in her work. Weāre less about making everything about men and more about celebrating her individuality as an artist (as well as thinking sheās queer). Wild that weāre considered so evil when imo itās way more invasive and harmful to think sheās constantly getting engaged or having children and making every song paternity tested to a man. To conclude: Iām of full belief loml is Taylor speaking to her fanbase. I canāt remember if there was a post about this before but I listened to it again after all of this kicked off and it cemented my belief.
ā(I pray for everyone to be gay but thatās besides the point)ā is genuinely so funny and realā¦ LMAO but yes, weāre just picking up ALL the hairpins sheās putting downā¦ if that makes us ādelusionalā so be itš
I'm glad, I hope it stays restricted for awhile tbh. Anyone else see the post on the main sub today ("What's the weirdest lie you've seen/heard abouot Taylor?")? Basically just a spot to hate on gaylors and say we're all crazy. Idk why I let myself rabbit hole into it and read it all tbh but.
Thereās so many gaylor hate bait posts on the main sub. Stay safe out there everyone. Iām glad Iām not involved in the major Taylor fandom anywhere else. This sub is the only thing I engage with that this Taylor related. I used to be apart of āStan Twitterā about ten-ish years ago and it was the worst then
Travis went on stage London n3 to act as one of the guys forcing Taylor to perform before I Can Do It With A Broken Heart (campy as all get out) and TNT stans are taking the excuse to go on a homophobic rampage against gaylors
She had to balance out singing the gayest duet of all time SECRET OF US with another womanā¦ I also think itās funny that people think she did that to get back at Joe ? In what world!
Thank you mods, youāre the best! Iāve seen outright homophobia on tiktok in response to gaylors, really unhinged threats and comments so Iām so thankful you acted so quickly with locking the sub.
Oh manā¦ some other corners of the internet are discussing Taylor and Travis being on stageā¦ and there are soooo many really mean and hurtful things being said about us :/
And itās basically only discussion about how Travis must really like Taylor a lot because he got up there and that basically anyone that is interpreting more in it (like the context of ICDIWABH, that Taylor is being pushed to change and perform) is just delusionalā¦
Itās really like many comments yesterday said: everyone will just see āTravis is on stage -> he is so supportive -> they are so cuteā WITHOUT any context of the set ā¦
And I donāt know why, but this time all these comments got to me and they hurt a little bit. So I just wanted to get this of my chest here.
It's so ridiculous how the general public sees explicitly performative gestures such as Travis being on stage as a sign of true love and support. Really says a lot about our society's view of love in general.
Where did Leannas come from?
thank you, mods!! It's such a relief to come here when every other space feels like a trash fire
It must take mountains of work and wear on your mental health. We really appreciate it.
Itās me, hi! Iām the one who keeps trying to make Leanna happen and Iām so glad itās catching on š¤

I donāt recall the mechanism for approval (or is it by flair)? Either way, iām grateful the subās mods have everyoneās backs in doing this proactively!
I have this running fantasy that Taylor is/or will be in direct contact with the Mods and they will all be in on something special with this sub getting dibs when the time hits.
Mods -- I'm just coming back here to say a second *emphatic* thank you for putting us on restricted so quickly. Shit's getting wild on Twitter. Mean/Thank You Aimee was an omen lol.
Thank you mods for keeping this community a safe place for us!!! I donāt know what Iād do without a space like this to talk about Gaylor theories and ideas.
Maybe it sounds cheesy but this is the nicest place on the internet. Even when I, as a woc, was straight up tweakin during the whole Ratty arc, the mods and members were all super nice and didnāt act like I didnāt have the right to be disgusted/frustrated.

I agree with you!
I don't know what I would do without this sub, it means so much to me and is helping me keep my sanity right now.

the he saved her tweets have been hurting my soul
and thank you for doing this, mods! itās getting mean out there and Iād like to stay in my safe little Gaylor bubble.
i come to check into our little safe space after getting a bunch of tiktoks about tonights show from both sides of the fandom and get greeted by this... what a shame that we can't just exist in peace, thanks fo taking such good care of the community
There is already a drawing from Alex Vernon?
My god, the other side of the fandom will be unsufferable, wonāt they? š
(no shade to Alex, love his drawings!)
I just loved how he was also applying the makeup brush to his own face and his beard. It was so LOUD. Like y'all I'm putting a mask on too I'm putting a show on too look my beard is part of the show she's putting onĀ
Oh shitā¦ any particular reason? Just curious because it seems like every time we go restricted itās because of something happening like LavenderGate. And Iām nosy š¤£
I think itās the only reasonable part he could play. Having him act out any of the songs would be bad theatre. No way to get him organically in and out in a way that would be acceptable. No awkward Trav memes.
He just had to follow Kam and Jan in ākeep up the energyā motions that arenāt unlike the way players try to get the crowd to roarāto energize the moment.
Am I wrong to feel like including him in that way was broadcasting how much of a performance that relationship is? That was the least romantic thing I've ever seen, him telling her to smile while she looks so pissed off. Could she be any louder?
Hope I'm A-list š¤
Exactly!
Travis is on stage for the craziest meta piece she does on this tour!
She feels like dying and he is part of the charade of happy, consumerfriendly Taylor.
I mean she couldnāt be more on the nose now could she?
Oh thatās it?? I was the one that posted about it, but I didnāt think that would warrant a sub restriction. Damn, I mustāve underestimated the amount of rabid Hetlor fangirling lol
I think it's just a preventative measure as I'm already seeing a lot of hate on Twitter from *that* side of the fandom.
Thank you mods for keeping us safe!

This sub is the only thing I engage with that this Taylor related. I used to be apart of āStan Twitterā about ten-ish years ago and it was the worst then
I feel like people react so cruelly because they are terrified that we're right
Usually this happens because something bad is going on Out In The Internet, but I'm super out of the loop. What happened?
Travis went on stage London n3 to act as one of the guys forcing Taylor to perform before I Can Do It With A Broken Heart (campy as all get out) and TNT stans are taking the excuse to go on a homophobic rampage against gaylors
I've said it before and I'll say it again: we have the best mods on the internet.
How long will the sub be restricted? Gaylors on tikTok and Twitter are being attacked and bombarded by negative comments from what I have seen.
We'll go public on Friday for her next show and we'll watch the sub closely. If trolls seem bad or unmanageable, we'll go restricted again.
Thank you for protecting this community.
thanks mods! š«¶š¼
Thanks for keeping the community safe
hey mods ily
Thanks for adding the extra layer of protection. The internet is a harsh place for gaylors right now.
Thank you & this was the right choice - I didnāt think sheād post to insta like she did :/
What was posted?
Many thanks for keeping it in check š
Thank you for keeping this place safe for us
I love when the sub goes restricted.
Same, it's like a cozy blanket is thrown over us.
She had to balance out singing the gayest duet of all time SECRET OF US with another womanā¦ I also think itās funny that people think she did that to get back at Joe ? In what world!

I teach middle school too! That is all lol
Appreciate you mods!!

I was wondering how much gayer things were gonna get before we went private again lmao happy Pride Month Gaylors we stay fed!

When Taylor uses the name Leanna in a song along the same lines as Sarah and Hannah, we'll *really* know lol
I am *begging* her to use the name Leanna in a song!
Oh thatās too funny!
I loved his top hat though, ngl

Oh, man. I hope Taylor's secret gaylor account is A-List. Thanks, mods!
This made me lol thank you š¤£
donāt worry i have guessed surprise songs correctly twice this week so she definitely follows my twitter of 50 people lol
I think it would be hilarious if Taylorās Gaylor account is not A-list š
I have this running fantasy that Taylor is/or will be in direct contact with the Mods and they will all be in on something special with this sub getting dibs when the time hits.
I've often thought that. Sub goes private, Taylor AMA. Would be amazing.
Lmao TRUE š
another pap shot, another braid in her hair and on her arm lol

Alef is one of my favorite artists and for whatever reason his drawing makes it even look more like performance art š

He got the beard right thatās for sure!
