But now?

Silence. A post about the Fearless TV anniversary from TN. A music video being filmed. A few scraps to talk about, but nothing big enough to distract from the breakup. More and more credible sources discussing the breakup (we've gone from ET to Good Morning America, one of Taylor's most trusted sources), all of swifttok talking about it. I've noticed on Twitter that gaylor accounts are gaining a lot of followers. Yes, there's hate and harassment and typical homophobia from hetlors, but even that seems to be losing steam.

And there are no distractions. I've never heard silence quite this loud.

Sure, it's only been a couple of days, but the LavHaze reel came out minutes after the title was revealed. The leather jacket photo was posted in concurrence with all the other photos. If Taylor and her team wanted to, they could create some vague reassurance of Taylor's perception as a heterosexual, but they haven't. If, in a week, every re-recording drops, or even just one, that will have been a week for the fandom to take in the breakup news.

As I've said before, Joe Alwyn was the glass of Taylor's glass closet. The glass is gone. Taylor is performing Vigilante Shit like that while she's single. Taylor looks happier than she ever has, even on other tours, after a breakup. Taylor is opening an Eras museum in support of an LGBTQ+ advocacy group during Pride Month. And instead of a cheeky little pap walk, we got a breakup.

The glass is broken up.

"no"

"sounds like a paint color"

"do you mean purple haze?"
