The “New York Times” published an article about the possibility that the singer is bisexual. She has repeatedly denied this theory
About two weeks ago, the New York Times published an article -5,000 words!- speculating about the Taylor Swift’s sexual orientation. The article argues, citing a number of facts, that Swift belongs to the LGBTQ+ community as more than an ally, something the singer herself has denied on several occasions.
The article understandably upset her fans and beyond, but speculation surrounding the singer’s non-heterosexuality is nothing new.

The relationship between Swift and the model Karlie Klossfor example, has given rise to all kinds of speculation about the pair almost before they even met.

In a January 2012 Vogue cover story about the singer, she said: “I love Karlie Kloss. I want to make cookies with her.” They hadn’t even met yet, but Karlie Kloss, who had just launched her own cookie line, responded with an invitation on social media: “In your kitchen or mine?” It was a few months before they met, but it happened not in one of their kitchens, but at a Victoria’s Secret fashion show held in 2013, in which Swift sang and Kloss walked the runway. “We’ve never met before, but now we’re friends,” Kloss told the Hollywood Reporter. Shortly after, Kloss shared a photo on Twitter along with a lyric from the song Love Story.

A year later, they returned to participate in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, but this time, they opened the event, hand in hand. Just two days after that fashion show came a sign that fans thought was definitive: a blurry photo showing a kiss between the singer and the model, taken while they were watching a concert by the band in 1975. #kissgate, as it became known the event gave rise to hours of speculation and imagination…

Back in 2014… The singer’s entourage denied that the kiss had happened and that the relationship between the two was more than a close friendship. But for those who want to believe their favorite celebrity is bisexual, these denials only reinforce the hypothesis that their idol’s non-heterosexuality is something her professional environment is trying to hide to avoid damaging her career, like, remember, it has happened and continues to happen in many cases.
During those years (from 2013 to 2017), Swift was in relationships with Harry Styles, Calvin Harris and Tom Hiddleston, but in 2017 she began her longest relationship to date, with actor Joe Alwyn, with which was coming out until 2023. So everything was forgotten. At the same time, the intensity of the friendship between Swift and Kloss decreased to the point that the singer did not attend the wedding of the model to Joshua Kushner in 2018.

In 2019, another event once again caused a certain segment of Swift’s fan base to insist that the singer is bisexual. It had to do with the song ‘You Need to Calm Down’, the second single from her seventh album, ‘Lover’.
And so, we come to today. The singer is in a relationship with NFL player Travis Kelce. Why not trust her? Or rather, why not take the word of an artist who has shown widespread support for the LGBTQ+ community?
For a community plagued by “stigma” and discrimination, such a scenario is convenient. But the fine line between this urgency and invading celebrity privacy or even admitting that certain behaviors – close friendships, lack of a steady heterosexual partner, aesthetic preferences, etc. – serve as indisputable evidence of a non-heteronormative sexual orientation is murky and can be harmful. Because after all, Taylor Swift is the only person who can know for sure what she likes or doesn’t like in this world…
