Taylor Swift really said “oh, this private life you’ve been watching? Yeah, its never not a performance from inside my fish bowl!” when she blew this popsicle stand.
Tumblr media
“The only way for me to disappear (even while in said endless fishbowl that my life has become) is for me to envelop myself in this lavender haze.”
Tumblr media
(Which she tells us is synonymous with her melancholia… so, sometimes that haze can loom over her as persistent sadness and ill-founded fears…)
Tumblr media
But Taylor has been telling us that despite the sadness, fear, and sense of doom that comes with it, being with her star-crossed lover is the only shade of blue for her.
Tumblr media
And gang, she recently framed this singular blue for us. It’s a “midnight blue,” according to Taylor.
Everyone lost their minds after she said the glitter puke and blood in the “Anti-hero” music video is “midnight blue,” but it wasn’t exactly just gaslighting.
Tumblr media
It’s Taylor meditating on a theme in her life and art—a blue, a sadness,a melancholia that she feels most deeply in the dead of night, lying awake wondering about love, life, and who she is.
It’s also a blue in which she is submerged, in a fishbowl, in a haze, that is the only thing she really believes in despite the big hoax surrounding her (the idea that her lover’s love is faithless being the “Hoax”).
It’s the “true blue” of someone who knows her for her, is loyal, and dives into this life with her despite it all.
Tumblr media
It’s the true blue she bleeds and the true blue that pours out when she spills her guts or the walls come down.
And it’s lavender.

a queer analysis of the dinner scene in taylor swift's "lover" music video
Tumblr media
whether you want to admit that this scene could have queer implications or not, what’s very apparent is that this meal subverts expectations
queer phenomenology (a concept developed by sara ahmed) offers a way to understand how people and objects interact with spaces and how this interaction can either conform to or challenge societal norms.
if we apply that lens to an analysis of this scene, we can explore how the dinner scene challenges traditional or ‘normative’ perceptions of space and arrangement.
the dinner scene breaks away from typical dining expectations with its unique mix of foods. it challenges the usual ways we see and set up meals, reflecting queer phenomenology’s focus on questioning and changing norms.
the food arrangement in this scene ‘queers’ the space, defying traditional meal setups. It challenges what we think a meal should look like. the diverse food combination symbolizes the idea that there’s no single way to be. it represents the diversity and fluidity in identities.
whether you want to claim that this is evidence that taylor swift is queer or not, i think it’s fair to say that this is an example of taylor swift using visual imagery to encourage fans to look closer and consider other perspectives
taylor swift’s use of visual imagery in her work is a deliberate strategy to engage her audience. she presents her reality like a scene within the snowglobe’s lover house— a blend of the actual (the girl and her implied parents) and the imagined (life in the snow globe)
her music and videos create a world where reality and fantasy merge. this resembles the idealized and self-contained universe of the snowglobe.
this artistic approach encourages fans to delve deeper. it suggests that her artistic expressions, while possibly based on personal experiences, are romanticized and open to interpretation.
taylor swift’s art maintains a layer of mystique, much like the ambiguous nature of the snowglobe’s dinner scene. it invites multiple interpretations, making her narratives both personal yet universally relatable.
her methodology resonates with queer phenomenology principles. it challenges standard perceptions and allows for diverse interpretations, leaving the aspect of her queerness an open and intriguing question.

apparently for the fishbowl scene in the "Lover" music video, Taylor was offered a stunt double or visual effects or something but insisted on actually being in the water herself, and I'm laughing my ass off thinking about how that conversation could've gone down
like
"I'm getting in the fishbowl"
"Fully? In the dress too? You don't have to do that -"
"I am going to swim around in this fishbowl in the goddamn dress and the fans will love it and you will love it"
"Taylor we have alternatives to you swimming fully clothed in the fishbowl"
"IM SWIMMING FULLY CLOTHED IN THE FUCKING FISHBOWL"
