The Gaylors—a group of Swifties who believe that Taylor Swift is not straight—had much to say following the singer’s engagement announcement to Travis Kelce.
Swifties have been busy celebrating Taylor Swift’s engagement to Travis Kelce, but one group of fans—the Gaylors—haven’t taken the news so well.Who Are The Gaylors?
Gaylors are Swifties who earnestly believe that Taylor Swift is secretly gay, or at least bisexual.
The general idea is that Swift drops hints alluding to secret relationships and desires through song lyrics and social media posts.
While Gaylors are a fringe minority of Swift fans, there are two subreddits dedicated to the theory, r/Gaylor and r/GaylorSwift, with the latter boasting more than 50,000 members.
These subreddits aren’t exclusively dedicated to the theory—often, they’re simply an LGBT-friendly space for Swifties to chat—but the theories over Swift’s sexuality are a constant topic.
This might sound rather intrusive, probably because it is, but obsessive speculation over the private life of celebrities is just how stan culture works nowadays, at least on the internet.
Many Swifties have very strong opinions about the singer’s personal life, and Swift has always invited her fans to comb her work for clues and easter eggs about future projects.
