I have arrived at Blue sky #gaylors!!!!!

“Taylor’s Version Pt 1: Gaylors” with Stephanie Burt Are you ready to become a showgirl? Poet, scholar, and Swifty extraordinaire Stephanie Burt joins me to talk about Taylor Swift’s musical genius, queer fandom and relationship to femininity. There was simply too much to squeeze into one episode, so make sure to listen to part one first and hear all about the Gaylors, before switching to part two, to learn about Taylor;s relationship to femininity, class and race. Stephanie will also tell you why she thought the “You Need To Calm Down” video was a big mistake… Follow Stephanie and myself at @notquitehydepark and @queerlitpodcast for even more content!   References Stephanie Burt’s We Are Mermaids (Greywolf Press, 2022) Stephanie Burt’s Super Gay Poems (2025) Stephanie Burt’s Taylor’s Version: The Poetic and Musical Genius of Taylor Swift (Basic Books, 2025) Stephanie Burt’s “Prayer for Werewolves” Poetry Unbound John Donne Katherine Philips Geoffrey Chaucer Walt Whitman Charlotte Mew Sarah Records Heavenly Tender Trap Blueboy Ella Darling Motown Carole King Dolly Parton “You Belong With Me” Red Reputation Miss Americana (2020) Lover Rachel Hartman’s Tess of the Road Gaylorism Gaylors and Hetlors “When Emma Falls in Love” “All Too Well” Joe Jonas Taylor Lautner Jake Gyllenhaal “Back to December” John Mayer The Life of a Show Girl Elizabeth Taylor Katharine Hepburn Ophelia Hamlet Julia Serano Frozen Mononormativity Evermore “Tis The Damn Season” The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection “Christmases When You Were Mine” Crass Grace Petrie Taylearning podcast “Clara Bow” Britney Spears Miley Cyrus “You Need to Come Down” Adeem the Artist Journey to Fearless Lara Heimert @notquitehydepark Rachel Gold’s In the Silences Imogen Binnie’s Nevada X-Men Gold 30 D.A.

Where does this become relevant in Taylor Swift’s work? -      What does the term ‘Gaylor’ refer to and why are there so many of them? -      We speak about sapphic forms in this episode. What makes a form sapphic for you? -      What is feminophobia and why could being femme be read as giving up power? How does this relate to trans femininity? -      What does Stephanie suggest about the representation of class in the “You Need To Calm Down” video? -      Why does Stephanie stress that Taylor knows that she is white? How does Stephanie describe Taylor’s engagement with race and the music of Black women? -      Does Taylor’s music speak to you? Why or why not?

Screaming to all #gaylors that #ruinthefriendship is linked to a female muse. Taylor attended a funeral with Abigail in 2023 for a female classmate from high school. Found a Reddit post and this blurry screenshot from an Instagram story.

I can honestly say that the songs I freestyle about Buddy & Obi are lyrically superior to the songs on Life of a Showgirl.

I do not believe that woman is an actual cat lady. She baited the cat loving community the same way she baited the #gaylors. WITH LIES.

Swifties War: Gaylors vs. Hetlors Swifties are gagged 💍 but the “death of Gaylors” parade is giving villain origin story. 🎭 Queer fans aren’t done — they’re thriving, twinkling, and still Bejeweled ✨.

#Gaylors of Bluesky, help me spread the word about this! 🌈 🫶

Not only is Frances a fellow #Gaylor, her Seattle opener Avery Cochrane is also #queer and has a fantastic song about #comphet called “Existential Crisis at the Tennis Club.”

(Frances is in Seattle 5/6, Denver 5/10, and San Diego 5/14.)

Heyyyyy #Gaylors where u at :)

If you’re anywhere near Denver, Seattle or San Diego, here’s a chance to support one of our own *AND* see a bona fide future star play the absolute best concert you will EVER see for under $20 in your LIFE.

Spread the word! GAYLORS ASSEMBLE!!!

Screen shot from the book Major Labels, in the Rock section, talking about Mick Jagger. The highlighted text says: “Block mentioned “Schoolboy Blues,” an unreleased Rolling Stones song from 1970, possibly recorded as an act of contractual sabotage, in which Jagger sings, “Oh where can I get my cock sucked? / Where can I get my ass fucked?””

Do the #gaylors know about this?

#lgbetty

I need the #fashion #gaylors on deciphering the t-shirts the billionaire is wearing, since that’s apparently the only thing he changes in his outfits.

I just know there are some fucking dogwhistles.

Seeing lots of #swifties / #gaylors in my feed who just got #beyonce tickets. 🥳 Besides delightfully contradicting the stupid Tay vs. Bey narrative — we all got crowns, you need to calm down! — this makes me hopeful that the #erastour fan #livestream phenomenon will spread to the #cowboycarter tour.

Screenshot of Spotify showing the song "She's on Fire" by Ace Roberts.

Hello fellow #gaylors has anyone heard this song? It just got released today and has me 👀👀 This is the only song the artist has released and they have very little artist info on Spotify.

Paris=Big Sur.
cheap wine was from the Inn.
alleyways=streets of Big Sur or pathway down to ocean path.
Confess truth in Swooping letters.
The tower at Midnight is Point Sur lighthouse.
TY to the #gaylors that paved the path to my Kay-awakening I LOVE YOU #Taylorswift #KarlieKloss #kaylor #gaylor

the #gaylors HIGHLY recommend that book i’ll tell you hwat lol

My BlueSky feed is kind of hilarious because, when I joined last fall, I mostly wanted a Twitter replacement for real-time sports tweeting, so I followed a bunch of sports peeps. Then I ignored BlueSky for a year. Now I'm following a bunch of #gaylors. So my feed is just sports + Taylor Swift is gay

Stay with me, #Swifties / #Gaylors, I know this seems like it’s just a Frances Whitney video, but I promise it’s a #taylorswift video too, you just gotta be patient for a few extra seconds and you’ll see…

Happy #kissgate anniversary to all who celebrate. #gaylors #taylorswift #karliekloss
