Summary

Taylor Swift has entered a new era: Wifey. Rather than take a (much needed) vacation following her world tour, she’s announced not only a forthcoming album but also a forthcoming wedding to football superstar and HIMBO of the decade, Travis Kelce. But the couple, who very publicly began dating in later 2023 are not without their detractors. Along with the typical “PR relationship” accusations, speculation of a far more sinister plot is being thrown their way. Long time listeners may recall that we covered subset of Taylor Swift’s fandom who call themselves “Gaylors” in our second ever episode. Well buckle up, because we’re back at it again. But this time, we’re going to address the theory that Taylor Swift is secretly queer for what it really is: a CONSPIRACY theory. One that goes all the way to the top…. of the NFL. Put on your tinfoil hats, pop in your headphones, and take a listen. Tangent include: George Bush’s alleged role in a celebrity death, Naomi Klein’s Doppleganger, and Miley Cyrus’s 2012 fashion era.

0:00.0	Taylor Swift in many ways personifies America. And over the course of her career, we've seen her
0:06.8	become this proxy site for many different political battles. And so I think to kind of look at her
0:13.7	and her career choices in her personal life, through this sort of lens doesn't feel like as much
0:20.1	of a stretch as say people thinking that Sean
0:22.6	Mendez is gay. It's like maybe, you know. But before we talk about the conspiracy, we're going to
0:27.5	talk about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey. Have you been following them at all? Do you know much about
0:33.1	their love story? I don't know the specifics of it. I just know that she started showing up to all
0:38.3	his football games and it was like really a subject of fanfare. It was like people were really
0:43.2	yapping about it. I know that he kind of looks like, you know, classically, like just he looks like a football
0:48.5	player. He kind of looks like a football player. If you were to draw one from memory.
0:54.2	Yeah. Yeah. He looks like a football player if you were to draw one from memory. Yeah.
0:54.9	Yeah.
0:55.5	He looks like your friendly thumb football player.
0:59.2	And that's kind of as good as I can get.
1:01.4	Like, it's like, I think he's a lot less cerebral, some might say, a little.
1:05.1	Like he's not, he doesn't really fit into the past.
1:07.8	Her like general repertoire of guys who have been a little bit on the like
1:11.7	somewhat artsier side, I guess. He's all blown jock, duh. And they seem to like each other a lot. They're like kind of dorky in public, which I think is cute. People are so critical of it. And I'm like, I think it's cute and corny that they're like that. I don't know. I just think they're corny in a way that if people lean into being corny, I have no problem with that.
1:29.9	Like, just who cares?
1:31.4	Yeah. corny that they're like that. I don't know. I just think they're corny in a way that if people lean into being corny, I have no problem with that. Like, just who cares? Yeah, if I can get like,
1:32.6	if I can be parisocial for a second, half of Taylor Swift's music is about her dating guys that are
1:37.9	kind of embarrassed about being with her and kind of make her feel really rejected and uncool
