The Swifties - A New Age Religious Movement Revolving Around Taylor Swift

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Another thing to put on record: OP mentioned Gaylor and I remember when I first heard it, and I found some discussions about it, and there's a subreddit about this becuase of course there is. There's gonna be links and spoiler tags. I've made sure to leave links to archives to as much as I can in the event that just copy/pasting text wouldn't really work out IMO.

And if you're wondering why I went so deep into this, the idea of a singer in this day and age using their music to go "I identify as LGBT but have to stay in the closet because reasons" seems something interesting to look into. Not like the fans though.




Welcome to r/GaylorSwift!

We are the original Gaylor subreddit 💛 Since 2018 we have been a vibrantly thriving community of individuals who like to examine Taylor Swift's music through a queer and sapphic lens. We have worked hard to create a safe space for thoughtful discussion and examination of Taylor Swift and the possible queer readings, themes, and motifs present n her work and public persona.

Whether you're here as a newcomer, as a member who's been here since 2018, or even as someone who has been a gaylor since the good ol' days of Tumblr and Kissgate -- welcome! This is your home to talk about Taylor's work, to support her, and to be among other fans who also resonate with and find meaning in queer readings of Taylor's work.

Important Terms & Figures​

  • Hetlor: A Swiftie who vehemently believes Taylor Swift is straight.
  • Sappho: A legendary poet from ancient Greece, she is the origin of the terms "sapphic" and "lesbian." If you're familiar with Sappho, you can clearly see Swift's direct references to Sappho's poetry throughout her discography and in her music videos.
  • Tree Paine: 🌲 is Taylor's publicist. Tree has been working with Taylor since 2014. Gaylors commonly make jokes about Tree taking down the sub, keeping Taylor's image spotless, etc. Gaylors - in general - have respect and admiration for Tree's immense skill. Tree is a phenomenal publicist! (Hi Tree!)
  • Toe (not to be confused with Toë): A combination of Taylor and Joe’s names. A common shorthand for this is also the emoji 🦶 (foot emoji).

  • Gaylor Swift: An Introduction — An extremely comprehensive guide called created by an anonymous poster on AO3.
  • Take Her To Big Sur/the 1 — An excellent visual presentation by u/rightintothatdivebar. This PowerPoint compiles several timelines and pieces of evidence. It's engaging for visual learners!
  • Kaylor Evidence — an excellent site that contains timelines and masterposts for many of Taylor's suspected relationships and beards, including Karlie and Dianna.

What is bearding?​

"Bearding" is a practice in which a public relationship, however legitimate, is used to conceal the sexual identity of one or more partners. This practice gained widespread popularity in America in the 1920s, although a more common name at the time was, “lavender marriage/lavender dating.” This became popular within Hollywood as many stars in the early 20th century and beyond were bound to, “morality contracts,” which forced LGBTQ+ performers to conceal their sexuality.

Bearding is useful to protect individuals from both physical danger and career devastation that can accompany being out as LGBTQ+ in a largely homophobic society. It can also be strategically beneficial to both the private lives and careers of participants. Frankly, career opportunities are not distributed to the LGBTQ+ community as widely as they are to heterosexual counterparts.

Famous examples of bearding include Betty White’s relationship with Liberace, Rock Hudson’s marriage to Phyllis Gates, and Judy Garland’s relationship with Vincente Minnelli (Dorothea, do you ever stop and think about me?).

Was Toe real?​

We don't know. Some people believe they had a real relationship, some people believe he was a beard for her, some people believe they were beards for each other. Believing any of these is valid, and it does not make anyone biphobic or lesbophobic to believe one over the other. It's even possible for Taylor to be bi and for Joe to have been a beard. The fact is we will most likely never know the truth.

William Bowery + GrammyGate​

Who is "WB"?​

The short answer is: nobody really knows. However, a few people are rumored to be the infamous "William Bowery," who co-wrote several songs on folklore, evermore, and Midnights. The public narrative is that William Bowery is Joe Alwyn, though fan theories include Paul McCartney, Austin Swift, Dianna Agron, Zoë Kravitz, Taylor herself, and several other individuals who would want to keep their identities concealed. It is also possible that William Bowery is not one person and is a pseudonym for a rotating collection of artists.

What is GrammyGate?​

GrammyGate refers to the incident in which the credits for folklore were modified after it won 2021 Album of the Year to add Joe Alwyn as a producer on multiple songs. Opinions on this are mixed -- some believe that the credits were unearned and that it was done to fulfill a bearding contract, others believe that Joe did actually contribute to the album as a writer and producer. Regardless, a significant amount of Gaylors, Swifties, and the general public alike all found it was a bit odd that the credits were modified after the 2021 Grammy Awards. Many posts have been made about this - please filter by the "Grammygate" flair or search "Grammygate" to find them.

GrammyGate and William Bowery are two different topics, as William Bowery did not win a Grammy. Joe Alwyn won a Grammy. William Bowery did not win a grammy because they did not participate on enough of the album to win one. Was this by design, by a mastermind? Who knows...

What was Bettygate?​

Bettygate was an incident that occurred in August 2020, shortly after folklore was released, where several sapphic Gaylors (some of whom were minors) were outed for expressing the belief that the song "betty" might have queer themes. When Taylor stated in an interview that "betty" was from the perspective of a 17-year-old boy named James, some Swifties took this as their cue to dox and harass Gaylors on Twitter. The incident has become a point of collective trauma for the community, causing many Gaylors to harbor anxiety around speaking too openly about queer themes in Taylor's music, or sharing too much identifying information online. Taylor never commented on the incident.

Apr 26

Taymily Masterpost​

This is my attempt at trying to chronicle the brief yet significant relationship of Taylor Swift and Emily Poe. I’ve tried to get this as accurate as possible, based on what I could research off the internet. If I find more information or corrections, I’ll update this accordingly.

Emily Poe (now Stumler) was primarily Taylor’s fiddle player during the Taylor Swift and Pre-Fearless era. Her linkedIn profile states that she was working with Taylor from July 2006 until January 2008. She lists that her duties included: “[having] Aided in image management, artist relations, and marketing strategy for artist. Performed for all live shows as the fiddle player and background vocalist. Assisted in merchandise sales at venues.”

Prior to the release of Taylor’s debut album, Emily was already hired as part of the band. Majority of their time together was spent on the road as Taylor became the opening acts of multiple country artists. Thus, this timeline will be heavy with journal mentions, pictures, and videos from their stops on tour, life on the bus, etc. which are labeled accordingly.

——2006——

**I find Taylor’s MySpace Bios from around that time very interesting. :)


  • 2006-early 2008 = “I’ve never been the kind of girl who needs a boyfriend. I don’t go out looking for guys. But then again, I don’t write alot of love songs. Basically.. I’m single.” (x)
  • 2008 = “I’ve never been the kind of girl who needs a boyfriend. I believe that love will find you when you’re not looking for it.. So I’ve been actively NOT looking for it for about 3 years now. I’ll let you know how that works out for me. It probably doesn’t help that I write songs about every guy I talk to.” (x)
July 22 - [Journal Entry] First mention of Emily with Taylor basically fangirl-ing over her (x)

July 24 - First live performance with Emily

  • Live @ The Whiskey a Go Go (video) where Taylor dropped this bit when introducing the band: “This is Emily over here on fiddle. Now Emily has a boyfriend, but she has agreed that what happens in LA stays there.” [3:56 mark]

the letter, reads: “Emily– I feel as if our relationship has been taken to the next level over the past few months and with much contemplation I decided I would bestow upon you one of my most prized possession: my flamingo bandana. This is a 3rd generation family heirloom and i suggest you frame it. I think it will look perfect in your apartment with the cat pillows. Enjoy”

——2008——-

January -
Grand Ole Opry Performance / Last Documented-Live Performance with Emily (x)

July - ‘Beautiful Eyes’ EP release / Taylor posted the video for ‘I’m Only Me When I’m With You’ which includes snippets of Emily since a lot of the footage was taken from her tour diaries.

November - ‘Fearless’ release date -> “Breathe” ft. Colbie Caillat

in addition to the fact that it was written around the time she lasts mentions Emily by name on her blog (or at all), Taylor’s explanation about writing ‘Breathe’ points it very much towards Emily. (part 1) (part 2)

Taylor: “It was total therapy because I came in and I was like look you know one of my best friends, I’m going to not have to see anymore and is not going to be part of what I do and it’s like the hardest thing to go through. It’s crazy listening to the song because you’d think it’d be about a relationship, but it’s really about losing a friend and having a fallout, just the loss.”
Colbie: “It can relate to anyone, anything.”
Taylor: “It does, it’s never specific as to why, that’s my favorite thing about it, it doesn’t talk about why or who’s fault it was because sometimes the hardest time of when you say goodbye it’s nobodies fault. It just has to stop.”
The lyrics tell the story so well, honestly. (x) especially the repeated and haunting ‘i’m sorry

Did I mention the song’s secret message on the album was ‘i’m sorry i’m sorry i’m sorry’ as well? (x)

——————-

2011 - 3 years later…


VH1 posts a pop-up video for ‘Our Song’ and basically challenges the reason on Emily’s departure. It explains that she was allegedly fired without being given a reason and that “Taylor never talked to her again”. Thus further fueling the idea that “Breathe” was really about Emily and that it was more than just a ‘friendship falling out’.



In January/February 2012, Emily & her husband’s wedding/love story was featured in an article. She cites a bit of her time with Taylor and says that it led her to pursue law school thus leaving music (and Taylor) for good. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

“…I started with watching her on the road,” she explained. “She had just started and I lived with her on the bus with her mom, and I was watching you know, deals come through. She got this deal with Verizon and instead of - you know, I loved music - but I would sit there and read the contracts. I thought, I think I really want to do this. So when I came off the road I pretty much went straight to law school. I loved contracts. “The last week I was working for her ‘Our Song’ was Number 1,” she continued. “So I watched a growth of the artist. There’s tons of business involved, that’s what people don’t realize. It’s more than just the music.”

It's about perception. It's not "what would I do if I were a man?" It's about how I would be seen if I'd done exactly the same stuff.

If you let him touch ya, touch ya, touch ya, touch ya, touch ya, touch ya/ The way I used to, used to, used to, used to, used to, used to /Did you take him to the pier in Santa Monica/ Forget to bring a jacket, wrap up in him 'cause you wanted to?/ I'm just curious, is it serious?

Yes, it's a lot. I know. This is a rabbit hole of GIFs, pictures, and formatting that leaves at least a decent amount to be desired.

I'm baffled how this turned out to be a growing cult, this is not only a fanbase anymore. It surprises me how rabid they get when they criticize her.

One has to wonder if they're gonna stage an attack to the forum if they found out this thread exists, lol.
These fangirls have existed for a while. When I was in school, some girls were ready to cut a bitch if you didn’t think Black and Blue by the Backstreet Boys was the best album ever or God help you if you preferred *NSYNC.

The thing is, a few years ago, the music industry put all their eggs into the baskets of black and brown whores (Lizzo, Olivia Rodrigo, Megan Thee Stallion, etc.) and transracial whores (Ariana Grande, Halsey, etc.) and basically they’re flops. So now the industry has shifted and put all their chips on the table towards Taylor Swift to unfuck a music industry that is in a death spiral. So relentless promotion basically to get a bunch of girls to fork over as much money as possible. Her music is boring but people are tired of ugly negresses twerking and babbling about how wet their stank cooch is.
I genuinely do not know one "modern" Taylor Swift song. The only ones I know are like the three that used to play all the time on the radio back in in the early 2010s.

What is she even singing about now? Is it still about how all her exes are terrible, and how she's thirsting after some new guy?
She’s actually remaking her decade old songs because she supposedly does not own her original masters. I say supposedly because nothing about Taylor Swift seems natural so I easily believe that she’s just selling new versions of old songs because she can get away with it.

Here’s a video about it.


We did it.

Taylor Swift proving her reach by urging fans to vote last "Super Tuesday". This presidential election might be interesting.


Taylor wrote last Tuesday morning on her IG story, writing a note that says, "I wanted to remind you guys to vote the people who most represent YOU into power. If you haven't already, make a plan to vote today."
Ah, the vanilla political stance you can make.
 
I listened to an episode of Jim Florentine's podcast for this week and even though it is not in the descritpion he offers a short, five minute take on Taylor Swift's music. It starts right about at 11:00 in.


He says everything I and others as well. No one knows any of her songs other than "Shake it Off," that it is basically for teen and tween girls but somehow people in their 30s and 40s like it, which demonstrates a state of arrested development, similar to Disney Adults
If someone wants to clip and archive directly that would appreciate, if not that's fine too.

Really? Just “Shake It Off”? I’d imagine there’d be more songs people remember.

Post-1989, the only songs of hers I'm aware of were either parodied by Bart Baker or showed up in a Worst Songs of 20XX/Musical Autopsy by ADoseofBuckley. Her attempts at being edgy with "Bad Blood", "Look What You Made Me Do", and the Reputation era were just pathetic and her attempts at being political with "The Man" and "You Need to Calm Down" are laughable. Taylor should really stick to what she knows - vapid love songs written for teen girls.
 
Have people always called album years eras or is that a Taylor thing? Because it's fucking annoying, like she's some literal ruler or something.
It refers to the times she's decided to change her image. They're really more like phases that an adolescent would go through, with Reputation being her edgy try-hard phase.

So it's basically just the Swifty name for her lolcow arcs? I personally look forward to arc where she finally gets married to Football guy. I can't wait as Swifies everywhere declare it stunning and brave, and decide it's time to settle down because TayTay did. It would also be funny if there was an arc where Football guy divorces her, takes half, and she's paying alimony to maintain his lifestyle.

Keeping a man isn't particularly on brand for Taylor Swift. The only 2 constants throughout all of her phases have been: 1) not being able to keep a man and 2} almost exclusively singing about the men she can't keep.

Yeah, “Eras” is just talking about her different albums and all the visuals and whatnot that come with them. To my knowledge, it hasn’t a thing mentioned by Taylor before this Eras Tour.

Funny you mention “The Man” and “You Need To Calm Down”, because around that time, Netflix made this huge documentary around the time the album those songs were on, Lover, which was talked about as this huge look behind the curtain at a metamorphosis.

I've heard the term used with other musicians. Think Picasso and his periods, but swap the term "period" for "era".

Underage kids can't vote.

I associate it mostly with bands that change their style after a change in personnel, e.g. the Sammy Hagar era of Van Halen.
I think "phase" is the most fitting. There's no real artistic change. The change is just a new coat of paint. Her Reputation phase was hilarious. She wanted so badly to be seen as edgy and tough. Not sure if this was the intended effect, but the album title just makes me think of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts' "Bad Reputation". Like Taylor's trying to evoke their image and falling flat on her face.
