She uses “this” instead of “he”. Is any non Gaylor clocking that? Cleveland! Something we all can agree on But my baby likes what he likes, oh-woah, oh-oh He already took me to Cleveland. Now I'm wearing white, so hate all you like *This* is the love of my life. Plus that damn ! again. 👀

I’m seeing so many people jumping in on a TT trend announcing “they found the one person who doesn’t find them completely insufferable” with photos of said couple. This hurts to see. I learned the hard way the higher you put someone on a pedestal, the father they fall. And that hurts you more!

I can’t place it but I just realized the Midnights album cover art style reminds me of album artwork design for something I’ve seen. Compilations or Greatest Hits. The photo being smaller than the album size w/the title outside the photo & the tracklist on the cover. I’m having a major brain fart.

I’m on day 2 of a low grade fever. I have no ability to participate in the Emmy fun. But I do want to acknowledge I consistently struggle with the back & forth of social justice and decoding. So I appreciate everyone who can stay engaged. You bring me joy. Thank you. No judgement.

At the end of her tour she said she was ready for her next project…to start a family. It just feels weird that it it is already widespread industry news she & fiancé have welcomed a newborn. I don’t know if I feel uncomfortable these celebs aren’t given space/privacy or use life events as PR.

PARTICIPANTS NEEDED FOR THESIS RESEARCH Gaylor Fan Identity Study Survey Link: bit.ly/3SORo3x The purpose of this survey is to gather information on individual fans’ history & social media usage in relation to the Gaylor community. See the flyer, or alt-text, for all survey & participant info.

Participants needed for thesis research
Gaylor Fan Identity Study
Survey Link: https://bit.ly/3SORo3x
Study Description: The purpose of this survey is to gather information on individual fans’ history and social media usage in relation to the Gaylor community. The aim of this survey is not to look at specific fan theories, but how the term “Gaylor” has evolved into a distinct sociolinguistic identity as a personal and communal queer identity.
The survey will take around 15 - 30 minutes to complete 13 questions that are multiple-choice & open-ended. It will be open from July 13 - August 9, 2026.
Participation Criteria: Participants should at least be 18 years old, Part of the LGBTQ+ community, Self-identify as a Taylor Swift fan and a Gaylor
Benefits: There are no direct benefits for participants, but the information will be valuable to the fandom and queer communities. The data collected from this research aims to contribute to our understanding of language and sexuality by examining how digital fan spaces form identity.
Risks: Potential discomfort can arise when completing the three open-ended questions if it causes you to think of any past homophobia faced online or in your daily life.
The risk of participant identity being exposed through an invasion of privacy or breach of confidentiality is minimal since no personable identification information will be collected through the survey.
Have questions? Please Contact Amanda Triplett at Amanda.Triplett@mtsu.edu
For additional information about your rights as a participant in this study, please contact the Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) Office of Compliance at 615-494-8918 or via email at irb_information@mtsu.edu. (http://www.mtsu.edu/irb)

I’m looking forward to more and more “celebrities” (I use it in quotes because it’s such a gross word) come out against the media & fandoms. It’s such a double-edged sword since parasocial relationships have been shoved down throats of the masses. No one is complicit in this phenomenon.

Cheryl Burke of Dancing With the Stars fame comes out to blast the public for comparing her to an older version of herself especially when these people don’t know her personally. They know an image.

New guest name drop. Wifey is getting eaten up in the comments for the dress being too white and others are saying it’s basically pink. (Train’s frontman Pat Monohan and his wife, Amber). I doubt Taylor would care. There was possibly 1000 people there. Can you even see everyone?

Everytime I see a comment saying “leave her alone” or “this isn’t your business” or “why do you care so much” or “she can do whatever she wants” or…(you get my point), I want to scream how they are trying to police people’s opinions and voices. Swiftie Fascists for a billionaire. How fitting.

The worst comment I’ve read today about the wedding today. “@kimberly☀️: It wasn’t the real wedding, they were already married. I really think this is what they wanted to show us. For the fandom.” Say what? Spend 20ish million doll hairs on a public spectacle to make the fans happy?

Is the “she’s already married, this is the reception/party” sharp narrative shift due to the cognitive dissonance from the absolute absurdity of this circus? Because the amount of comments I’ve started seeing in the past 18 hours is wild.
