kinda obsessed with the fact that taylor swift is having her wedding at a concert venue. yes you've been famous so long and devoted yourself so thoroughly to becoming the most famous artist alive that you are nothing but the performance anymore
like i was going to say that i bet gaylors are going crazy over her marrying a man in a performance venue but then i remembered this tumblr post & the poster's follow-up substack essay:
That’s what’s compelling about the ‘story’ of gaylor, that there really could be a crack in the plastic, that there is a human person inside Taylor Swift somewhere who is somehow both prisoner and mastermind of her brand. There is an allure to her performance of gender and heterosexuality, so pure and concentrated and economically calculated that it comes off as false coin. But there is no secret silenced borrower woman inside to uncover. Gaylors have identified something deeply dissonant about her existence but cannot follow the conclusion to its end, which is, of course, that behind her eyes she is empty, and the performance is all there is.
