rereading the 1989 tv prologue and like the thing about the female friendships doesn’t even make sense as a gaylor diss 😭 it was about how her girl group was sensationalized and sexualized by the media not by gaylors 😭😭

At the time Taylor got so much heat for her model friend group because “it was setting unrealistic body expectations for young fans” and as she says in her prologue “starting a tyrannical hot girl cult”
A lot of 1989 was directed at the media and how she was perceived IN the media (ie blank space and if you want to believe I know places is about hiding from the paps) and the general idea that moving to pop would kill her career
And also yes her ‘seeds of allyship’ actually was a big deal because this album came out BEFORE gay marriage was legalized !! It was lyrics she promoted heavily during 1989 (also boys liking boys is her allyship but whatever) so of course it’s mentioned
Going back to look at these anti points with a clear head always shows me how they view her words through such an anti gaylor lens because none of this was a call out imo 🤷🏼♀️
they never post the entire thing, nor discuss the paragraph before, and they only say “female friendships”, when the paragraph before discusses male friendships.
It’s easy to call them out on holding their double standards, where they twist the prologue for bigotry and not all friendships.
also funny when discussing this with them, they give away that they haven’t read the texts.
If they’re posting the smaller prologue snippet
I’ve found multiple of them admitting they never read the Vogue article in its entirety (they’ll get confused when I post a bit and it’s not what they thought)
