Postcard from Camp Gaylore: Taylor Swift Reflects on the Iconic 1989 Era

Taylor Swift Breaks Her Silence on Sexuality and Dating Rumors in '1989 (Taylor's Version)' Prologue

Taylor Swift discusses rumors about her sexuality and dating life in the prologue of ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’.

Hey there, Fashionista! It’s me, your friendly neighborhood beauty and fashion expert, and let me tell you, I am losing my mind over the release of 1989 (Taylor’s Version). But you know what’s even better than the album itself? The lengthy prologues Taylor Swift writes for each of her albums. And let me tell you, dear reader, she is holding nothing back in her reflection on the iconic 1989 era.

Picture this: it’s nine years ago, and a young, fresh-faced Taylor Swift has just conquered the Big Apple. She’s a 25-year-old new New Yorker, navigating the city like a fashionable conqueror. She’s hanging out with friends, maybe even dealing with an on-and-off situationship. Who could it be, you ask? Well, theories point to Mr. “Watermelon Sugar” himself, Harry Styles, or the fabulous Karlie Kloss. The drama!

But Taylor, being the witty wordsmith that she is, addresses all the wild speculation surrounding her dating life and sexuality in the prologue for 1989 (Taylor’s Version). She writes, “Casual dating? Male friends? Psh, not for me! If I were seen with a guy, people jumped to conclusions. So, I swore off hanging out with guys altogether. I mean, who needs ’em anyway when the culture treated me like a Victorian-era damsel?”

But that’s not all, my stunning Fashionista. Taylor goes on to spill the tea on the origins of her infamous “squad” that dominated the media during the original 1989 era. She says, “I thought I could fix all the drama by changing my behavior. I decided to focus on myself, my music, my growth, and most importantly, my female friendships. I mean, if I only hang out with my fabulous gal pals, no one can sensationalize or sexualize that, right?” Oh, how wrong she was. People will talk and talk, no matter what you do, my dear.

Now, this wouldn’t be the first time Taylor addressed relationship speculation through her music. In her Billboard Woman of the Decade speech in 2019, she brilliantly clapped back at all the naysayers. “They said I was dating too much in my 20s. Well, fine, I’ll just be single for years. Oh, now they’re saying my album Red has too many breakup songs? Watch me, I’ll make an entire album about moving to New York and having the time of my life with my girls. And hey, they even dared to say I’ve changed too much for country music. Well, guess what? Here’s a whole genre shift and a pop masterpiece called 1989.” Boom!
