*inserts all of the lyrics to it’s nice to have a friend*

#taylor swift #taylor and karlie #karlie kloss #gorgeous #it’s nice to have a friend #swifties #midnights taylor swift #gaylor #i turn on the motherfucking subtitles where they condense the speech into bite sized pieces #I didn’t know what the above tag said when I clicked on it #I think it’s referring to Gilmore girls #Shade never made anybody less gay #were gay awakenings

sometimes I just have to stop and reflect on the fact that of all lyrics for Taylor to sing in yntcd, she chose “shade never made anybody less gay.” In the context of the verse and the song at large, Taylor has primarily presented the song to be one of addressing homophobia and hatred aimed at toward the lgbtq community and pitting women against each other and whatnot and of course that’s a great message to share

but I would argue that these lyrics hold a lot more significance than simply saying homophobia doesn’t make someone gay. bc tbh I understand what message she’s trying to deliver with that line but the correlation itself? gives me pause

instead, I believe Taylor’s intended meaning of the lyric, one that makes much more sense, is that being closeted (or shade) never made anybody less gay. a lyric like that strikes an important message in that you don’t need to be out to be valid or a member of the queer community. that very circumstance is one that Taylor regularly recognizes in her pride speeches. she’s also frequently referencing closet motifs. I almost wonder if Taylor started with a lyric like this and then masked it in the alternative meaning of shade, in a song about not hating others. she may have felt that would be an appropriate approach that an ally might take and ran with it

#anyway #happy pride 🌈 #of course this is all subjective and opinion based but I truly have only ever understood that lyric to mean this #myanalysis #shade never made anybody less gay #you need to calm down #thoughts* #gaylor

goddd I wish I could see the eras tour in theatres especially the communal aspect

#buuuut unfortunately I think it's the shade never made anybody less gay that got both the tour and the movie unavailable here 😔 #the glee I'd have from being able to yell that would be unmatched. alas

'Told two people I'm aro this week. I got served the "You haven't met the right person" housebrand and the "I wish I was like you, heartbreaks hurt" envy card. And today, for good measure, got a touch of "I thought you don't find people attractive" when talking about conventional attractiveness.

I took it like champ though.

That said, TGIF
