Taylor Swift, a highly successful solo artist, has a strong approval rating and is in a stable relationship with Travis Kelce. However, Swift and her team are currently unhappy due to a New York Times opinion piece suggesting that she may be a closeted lesbian. The article points to LGBTQ references in Swift’s songs as signals of her queer identity, despite her previous public relationships with men. Swift has been a vocal supporter of the LGBTQ community and has created a safe space for her fans at her concerts. The article has been met with criticism for invading Swift’s privacy, as the speculation about her sexuality would not have been allowed for a male artist. The author of the opinion piece defends the discussion of Swift’s potential queerness as important for keeping LGBTQ signals alive in the entertainment industry.
