In A Piece Titled, ‘Look What We Made Taylor Swift Do’, New York Times Journalist Anna Marks Suggests That The Pop Star Had Been Hinting That She Was A Part Of The LGBTQ+ Community.
Taylor Swift’s team is not happy with a recent article about the pop star. After New York Times journalist Anna Marks suggested in an op-ed that Taylor is secretly queer, a person close to the situation slammed the writer and her piece through a statement.
“Because of her massive success, in this moment, there is a Taylor-shaped hole in people’s ethics,” the individual told CNN. “[The New York Times] article wouldn’t have been allowed to be written about Shawn Mendes or any male artist whose sexuality has been questioned by fans.”
“There seems to be no boundary some journalists won’t cross when writing about Taylor,” the person added, “regardless of how invasive, untrue, and inappropriate it is – all under the protective veil of an ‘opinion piece.’ ”
In the piece titled, “Look What We Made Taylor Swift Do”, Anna suggested that Taylor had been hinting that she was a part of the LGBTQ+ community. “In isolation, a single dropped hairpin is perhaps meaningless or accidental, but considered together, they’re the unfurling of a ballerina bun after a long performance,” the author wrote.
Those dropped hairpins began to appear in Ms. Swift’s artistry long before queer identity was undeniably marketable to mainstream America,” she added. “They suggest to queer people that she is one of us.”
While Taylor has yet to react to the op-ed, she has shut down wild rumors that she secretly dated several of her close female friends. In the prologue for her “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” album, the Grammy-winning artist lamented having her life constantly scrutinized over her relationships with both men and women.
After years of becoming a “target” of relentless “slut shaming” and enduring endless jokes about the “amount of boyfriends she had,” the “Anti-Hero” hitmaker said that she was painted as a “boy crazy psychopath” and was “really starting to hurt.” She wrote, “It became clear to me that for me there was no such thing as casual dating.”
“Or even having a male friend who you platonically hang out with. If I was seen with him, it was assumed I was sleeping with him. And so I swore off hanging out with guys,” Taylor, who is now in a happy relationship with Travis Kelce, continued. “Dating, flirting, or anything that could be weaponized against me by a culture that claimed to believe in liberating women but consistently treated me with the harsh moral codes of the Victorian era.”
Taylor went on to note, “Being a consummate optimist, I assumed I could fix this if I simply changed my behavior. I swore off dating and decided to focus only on myself, my music, my growth, and my female friendships. If I only hung out with female friends, people couldn’t sensationalize or sexualize that, right?” However, her decision backfired as she stated, “I would learn later on that people could and people would.”
