Well my personal theory is Taylor Swift is the child of Anton LaVey and his own daughter. Maybe that's where you are getting the vibes.

Jesus this is worse than Harry Potter fans relating everything to one book series.
I hope this is either a joke, or you have a hyperautistic superdetailed plot for how said baby arrived in the care of Scott Swift and his wife.

I created the Schizo Conspiracy thread. That should give you an idea how my crazy brain works.

This gem from People came across my feed:
The Swifties have been coping so hard with this album. Some choice quotes:
Here is where we were one year ago with Taylor Swift.
She had just become the only artist to win album of the year at the Grammys four times. A few months prior, she had released re-recorded versions of 2010’s Speak Now and 2014’s 1989 in her continued effort to reclaim work from her original masters. All the while, she was in the midst of the highest-grossing tour of all time, a two-year trek through stadiums across five continents.
During it all, she fell in love again, and her private life turned into a bigger public spectacle than ever, with everyone wondering what she and her Super Bowl champion boyfriend would do next. Whether you listened to her or not, adored her or didn’t care for her, Taylor Swift — the performer, the artist, the individual — was inescapable.
On April 19, 2024, “Taylormania” reached its fever pitch when the singer-songwriter dropped her fifth original album in five years, The Tortured Poets Department, and its accompanying Anthology. Altogether, it’s a sprawling 31-track exploration of Swift’s romantic trials and tribulations, her fraught relationship with her very public existence and the complicated balance between fame, love and art.
Compared to its predecessors Midnights, Evermore and Folklore, The Tortured Poets Department received a more tepid response from listeners. Because when a supernova like Swift releases music, the immediate conversation about the project’s merit often centers on the artist versus the art itself. The argument that Taylor Swift was “too big to fail” became an easy way to dismiss rave reviews as pandering fluff — or scathing criticism as an attempt to knock her down a few pegs.
The only way to break through the noise of knee-jerk reactions is to spend time with the songs. After one year with The Tortured Poets Department, it’s clear that the album will be looked back upon as a valuable time capsule of a star at an unprecedented level of fame. Not simply because the LP bears Swift’s name, but because the songwriting pulls the curtain back on her most intrusive thoughts.
“I'll tell you something right now/I'd rather burn my whole life down/Than listen to one more second of all this bitchin' and moanin',” she sings on “But Daddy I Love Him,” a defiant message to overzealous fans lamenting the decisions she makes in her personal life.
In the song “Clara Bow,” Swift gets self-referential in a way only she could, closing the track with a sharp look at the music industry and the star-making machine, imagining a cynical record executive saying, “You look like Taylor Swift/In this light, we’re loving it/You’ve got edge she never did.”
As she grapples with the pressures of superstardom, Swift experiences a heartbreak that she writes about in exhaustive detail and wild desperation, from her ex’s “Jehovah’s Witness suit” in “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” to his detrimental drug addiction in “Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus.”
In the grand scheme of Swift’s career, The Tortured Poets Department will go down as a striking and unique body of work, produced by a one-of-a-kind pop star amid a total upheaval in every aspect of her life.
This isn’t to say Swift is the only person to grieve a devastating situationship, to worry about her staying power in the spotlight or to have their fame fundamentally affect their entire life. But she might be the only one capable of pulling these themes together in tandem.
The Tortured Poets Department is her warning signals, her diary of unbridled emotion and her manifesto about her legacy wrapped into one, and she isn’t asking for pity. She just wants you to listen

Ah, yes. The distilled essence of basic bitch made flesh is truly one-of-a-kind.
Nothing good ever comes from writing a manifesto - especially one full of "warning signals".

People are claiming Taylor Swift modelled this hat. While investigating I didn't know she had so many ear piercings

I looked at the gaylor sub today and needed to share the SHOCKING (not really) revelation that a lot of them are “non-binary” and autistic (who wants to bet they’re self diagnosed AuDHD?)
Idk if I would say they are autistic, they seem more schizo to me, but what do I know. Maybe Taylor really is sending them secret messages about how much she loves pussy.

The Gaylor stuff reminds me of the Lilith Fair lesbos of the late 1990s who insisted Sarah McLachlan was ackchually a lesbian, despite being married and having a child. So they’d pore over every one of her songs to look for secret clues that she’s actually a lesbian. But it’s totally only the Ts of the LGBT that do this stuff

It says PopBase is a parody account. I wouldn't believe a tweet from a normal account anyways because so far she's been *Norm Macdonald voice* BOX OFFICE POISON!
