BIG shoutout to the anon who posted to @spade-riddles about Shakespeare's 'The tempest' because holy shit -- I haven't combed through with a fine tooth comb yet but this is everything that popped out at me in the first read 📖

THANK YOU!!!!

The biggest elephant in the god damn room is that fact!!

*IMO* The Showgirl idea was from her seeing it be trendy over the last year, seeing how all the young pop girlies are being hyper sexual and glam at their shows, and Taylor being unable to understand that you can’t build an entire album around a visual concept and have only one song mention that concept and call it a day

If anything, they should’ve made this album be Lover 2.0—if what is being sold to the public is a narrative about a happy engaged couple and songs directly referencing her fiancé , then the imagery should be about Love, romance, marriage. Instead it’s Taylor in vintage Showgirl costumes looking like she’s a few days away from ODing and writing on mirrors how hard it is to be her

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.

Now, at the moment I'm really waiting to see where this is going.

Do I keep my trust in the Bejeweled blueprint and this is gonna blow soon and we get a message like "oh I was on a maniac phase after Joe intense break up" and I'm good 👍 ok fine you got your millions milking right wing wave it's not very cool to profit from fascism but fine, move on.

Does she keep it? This is right wing propaganda and it's already gone too far. I'm gonna drop this ship if she believes this is the long run way for her closet. It didn't need to be like this she could easily find another Joe, keep a low profile bearding relationship and keep her career as from rep to midnight eras.

First things first, happy Pride Month, everyone! On this tour, I get to look out into the most stunningly beautiful, brilliant crowds of people who are living their authentic lives. They are loving who they want to love, they are identifying how they identify, and allies who get to support them in and celebrate them in that. It’s the most beautiful experience for me to look out into the crowds on this tour, I’m looking out tonight, I’m seeing so many incredible individuals who are living authentically and beautifully and this is a safe space for you. This is a celebratory space for you and one of the things that makes me feel so prideful is getting to be with you and watching you interact with each other, being so loving and so thoughtful and so caring and so being with you during pride month, getting to sing the words to ‘You Need To Calm Down’ where there are lyrics like “can you just not step on his gown?” or “shade never made anybody less gay”, and you guys are screaming those lyrics in such solidarity, in such support of one another, in such encouraging, beautiful acceptance and peace and safety and I wish that every place was safe and beautiful for people in the lgbtq community, I really wish that. Cause we can’t talk about pride month without talking about pain. Right now, and recently and in the recent years there have been so many harmful pieces of legislation that have put people in the lgbtq community at risk. It’s painful for everyone, every ally, every loved one, every person in these communities and thats why I’m always posting this is when the midterms are, this is when these important key primaries are, cause we can support as much as we want during pride month, but if we’re not doing our research on these elected officials, are they advocates? are they allies? are they protectors of equality? Do I want to vote for them? I love you guys so much. Happy Pride month, I just adore you. I really do.
