I hope I'm a lovely Gaylor and I'll never be a "performance artlor" or whatever.
This is NOT what a performance art is. I'm not an Art student I won't try to explain it very conceptually.
I can be eventually if she pulls some great thing out of it? Maybeeeee
One amazing thing she did once was to turn the Jake Gyllenhaal PR into an abusive one. That was a great twist.
What she does with the fake relationships is old-school bearding and propaganda. Propaganda is not art, propaganda is far away from art as it can be.
I like her I'm entertainment and she did blend the Propaganda aspects into her true art that is song composition so, there is art there of course. Also she uses LGBT optics all the time and this is also art. So everything is kind of mixed. The Closet is not art. Fighting against it can be. So it's blurred.
But SO FAR most of what she did with the Bearding is plain old heteronormativity misogynistic propaganda and it's EVIL and it HURTS society and it's not a required thing to be in the closet. Many artist are in closet with dignity and not doing Heteronormativity Propaganda.
Back to the Jake Gyllenhaal case. She was 19 and I'm thinking she didn't have agency over what happened at that time regarding PR stunts ok. So what was the Evil in that? And I'm excusing her from blame because she was so young, I blame mostly her parents and evil people in industry: they took Taylor art her love songs and use it to package that a 30 yo man and a 19 yo woman could have a healthy relationship. They can't. Millions of teenagers girls were sold this lie. This is insidious heteronormativity misogynistic propaganda.
What Taylor did with this song later is amazing and true artistic. She retold the story as it was supposed to be, toxic and abusive. And I bet I just know that it resonated so hard with thousands of young girls that had this experience and could use Taylor art for trauma healing.
Now Taylor is 35 and there's just so much we can excuse her for being dragged and abused by this system so young. She's a victim of this, but now she has agency, she knows what she is doing. And she is doing some MASSIVE heteronormativity propaganda again now with some contours of MAGA propaganda. So where is she going with this? If she pulls a rabbit from a hat and comes out of the closet, fast, soon, it MAYBE can be seen in the future as some kind of performance I don't know, history will say. But damage is being done NOW, she is using her PR to promote MAGA people surrounding all this NFL contract. This is PROPAGANDA. not art.
If she keeps just in a closet throwing LGBT crumbs but mainly selling tale old as time of heteronormativity love stories? Propaganda. Insidious heteronormativity propaganda. She doesn't have excuse to be 19 anymore.
I'm very sure it's very complicated for her to get out of the closet and she can just stay there if she wants. Stays with dignity, don't sell this bs MAGA propaganda. Read the room, it's not innocuous. Her "wedding" gona be into history as the circus of Trump regime.
