it’s just like. maybe she just liked the colors of the bi flag and dyed her hair for fun. maybe she liked the idea of cedar closets and was inspired to write a song about an ex boyfriend. maybe she wore a rainbow dress during her pride speech because rainbows are pretty. maybe she dressed like a pride flag flamingo for wango tango to match pride month as an ally. maybe she said that gay pride makes her her because she’s that committed to allyship. maybe she heard about the connotations of lavender in the 50s and wrote a song about how that mirrors her feelings for her boyfriend. maybe she’s never heard of the “hair pin drop around the world” (stonewall) and just chose something that wouldn’t make much noise. maybe she really just likes singing from alternate perspectives. maybe she forgot to change the pronouns when she covered riptide from a female perspective. maybe she put herself in glass closets in multiple music videos because she feels trapped by herself. maybe she wrote so much about secrecy on reputation because she thought if she was seen with her boyfriend publicly it would ruin the relationship. maybe she wrote so much about secrecy in her earlier albums because she prefers privacy. maybe she wrote about secrecy on folklore and evermore because she was writing fiction. maybe she compared loving her partner to sin that forfeits her good standing with god and the world because she likes to be dramatic. maybe the very first night is about a guy and she just accidentally made the verses rhyme with “her”. maybe she really likes daisies because they’re pretty. maybe connections between cruel summer and closure are accidental. maybe connections between it’s time to go and down bad are accidental. maybe she’s been best friends with all of her lovers. maybe!
