Is it possible that despite the lack of actual textual congruence between the two oeuvres, Taylor Swift is choosing to come out, a fraught and highly personal decision, by self-publishing a book of unpolished poems under a pen name? I felt this book to my core and almost all of the poems were about things I went through or and going through. Swift's new album has ties to poetry released by an elusive author named June Bates, prompting fans to think the two might be the same person. Some have speculated that the collection could be a fan's clever conception but others have noted that the timeline between the tracklist release and the collection publishing is way too tight for an outsider to pull off.

For example page fillers with the same line repeated to fill up the page- I know it has its own meaning but comes across lazy. If there’s already been a post about this, my apologies I just couldn’t find it and wanted to see people’s thoughts. Outside of people creating new trends with the album, there are also millions of new theories about Swift's music. Recomiendo este libro totalmente, sin embargo, espero que al leerlo lo hagan con mucho amor, respeto, y disposición de ver mas allá, por qué si bien la autora hablaba de su “closet”, para otros puede significar otras cosas. Taylor Swift fans are theorizing that she wrote a poetry book under the alias "June Bates" after spotting curious parallels between the singer's work and the mysterious collection.A lot of people are seriously speculating that she is the one who wrote the book, even though the book is accredited to “June Bates”. The reference to "sapphic poetry" in the collection's title has also added to the theory that Swift is alluding to her queer identity in her music. Product arrived matching the specifications I requested but also matched the photographs and item description. I usually don't like poetry books that much but this one was so sweet, tender, raw, relatable, and revolutionary.

There’s another novel that just came out, so I’ll have to read that one so I can get a better judge of character. What I really liked and could relate to was when she was having trouble coming out to her family and being rejected not once but many times throughout her life. When I read the pages that had, “No filter” it really pushed through the pages and left an impact on my mind, and with it actually making me feel heartfelt things everyone who reviewed it were talking about I wanted to finish it all in one go. Slate’s Madison Malone Kircher previously unpacked in Slate this obsessive pattern-seeking by “Gaylors” in relation to the “teasing rhymes” in Swift’s 2021 track “The Very First Night.I loved the way she was manifesting and validating my emotions and feelings even though she wasn't there directly. The comments on these TikToks mostly consist of sweet young people being very moved by these poems, writing things like “cant wait to find this person” and “i wanted this with him but he didnt want the same 😭😭😭😭. Swift, befitting her country roots, is good at finding a central metaphor for a song that provides a framework for the emotions she’s trying to convey. If you have to put yourself in other people’s shoes you wouldn’t wanna see their everyday life struggles just like they wouldn’t like to see or experience yours. We are a space for (thoughtful) discussion and examination of Taylor Swift and possible queer readings, themes, and motifs in her work and public persona.
