Taylor Swift's Camp Upset Over Opinion Piece Speculating About Her Sexuality

Taylor Swift's team is reportedly expressing their frustration after the New York Times published an opinion piece that delves into speculation about the Grammy winner's sexuality. According to a source, some journalists are crossing boundaries and writing invasive and inappropriate articles about Taylor, hiding behind the label of an "opinion piece." The source went on to say that due to Taylor's immense success, there seems to be a lack of ethics when it comes to discussing her personal life.

As the controversy unfolds, the insider emphasized that the Times op-ed would not have been written about male artists like Shawn Mendes, whose sexuality has also been questioned by fans. The lengthy op-ed, published on Thursday, compiles several instances that the writer considers as "evidence" of Swift's queer identity.

One example mentioned in the op-ed is Taylor dying her hair in the colors of the bisexual flag in her music video for "You Need To Calm Down." The writer suggests that these "dropped hairpins" symbolize Swift's queerness and have appeared in her artistic expression long before LGBTQIA+ identities became more marketable to mainstream America.

Taylor Swift's representatives have not yet responded to requests for comment on the matter. It is worth noting that Swift has openly declared herself an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community in the past. In the re-release of her album "1989," Swift addressed speculation about her sexuality in the prologue, explaining her intention to focus on herself, her music, and her female friendships to deter questions about her romantic life.

Swift's team has previously spoken out against false rumors, including recent speculation about a secret marriage to her ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn. In November 2023, the singer's publicist, Tree Paine, called out fabricated lies spread by Deuxmoi about the pop star.

As the debate surrounding Taylor's sexuality continues, fans are eager to hear her perspective on the matter.
