Don't you dream impossible things?💞

someone pointed out to me in a previous post that a fan gave it to her at the Nashville Secret Session.. here are my two cents about this in an actual proper post:

Yeah, a fan might have given it to her, like all of the other ones. But guess what? All of the other bracelets relate to her in some way. HER cats, HER new album title, butterflies which are a consistent symbol of this era’s aesthetics, so why should the bracelet be something that does not relate to her at all???

I think one of two things might have happened.

1) either this person who gave her the bracelets prepared them all on purpose, like a thought out and dedicated gift to her, and that’s very telling, because I don’t think it’s very a common thing to go to someone and give them a specific sexuality pride bracelet if you aren’t 100% sure they’ll appreciate it. And if they do accept the risky gift and wear it proudly, so much that they wanna take a picture of it, one might say you were actually super spot on with that gift, and that must mean something 👀

2) the person was wearing the Proud bracelet which they made for themselves and then when they met Taylor they just got carried away and gave them all to her (not just the Lover and the cats name ones). At this point she could have accepted them all and be nice and say thank you and even wear them during the session, but to actually wear them AND take a photo of them... I think that’s very telling too. Especially considering that Taylor knows we’re going to dissect every picture she posts and look for hints or secret messages. Furthermore, if she was given, I don’t know, another random bracelet that doesn’t represent her very much like “Dog Person” or “I love Chicago Bulls” or “Vegan pride” or “Tattoo addict” or whatever, I think she wouldn’t have kept it and she wouldn’t have taken a photo with it. Because there’s nothing wrong in any of those things or in being associated with any of those things but they just don’t represent her very much and that’s fine too.

At this point you can go on about the bracelet being a symbol of the broader message of inclusivity in general that she is endorsing this era, it could be. I support my friends’ sexuality and sexual identity as well you know, but I just don’t wear their Lesbian or Trans Pride shirt nor do I borrow it. Again, obviously not because there’s something wrong with it, but because they’re specific and they don’t represent me, and some things with specific meaning I think it’s also an act of respect to leave them and what they represent to those who fully understand them and see themselves into them. And I think she’s very smart and thoughtful with these things and as she has proven she knows what does being an ally mean.

In conclusion, this argument could have better chances if it was a generic rainbow pride bracelet. But it isn’t, so... thanks for coming to my TED talk
