Every song on Taylor Swift’s 'Lover,' ranked by queer energy. A very scientific list by 4evrmalone
A very scientific ranking. Photo: Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for ABA After weeks of rainbows and glitter and clues and bisexual colors, Taylor Swift’s Lover has landed. It is 18 tracks long, emphasis on long. And sure Swift told Vogue in no uncertain terms she’s not a member of the LGBTQ community. And yes, “London Boy” is proooooobably about her British boyfriend of several years, Joe Alwyn. But we, the Kaylor diehards of the World Wide Web, reserve the right to hear what we want to hear.
16. “I Forgot That You Existed” Points here for the IDGAF energy, a specialty of queer folks living in a world where not giving a fuck is a necessary survival skill. More points if you tell yourself the “you” Swift has forgotten is Karlie Kloss. 13. “I Think He Knows” If you willfully ignore a few words in the chorus — which sounds a whole like like Allie X’s “That’s So Us” and somebody please make this mash-up happen — and change some spelling around, there’s some energy here. “He’s got that boyish look that I like in a man.” Drop “in a man.” Add an “i” for the “y” in boy.
10. “Soon You’ll Get Better” A gorgeous, banjo-filled heartbreaker featuring the Dixie Chicks, this song is the perfect scratcher if you’ve been itching for a grown-up version of some of Swift’s oldest stuff. No explicit queerness per se, but it’s moody and sad and feels just right for drinking tea and sitting alone in your room and crying about whatever has you down at the moment.
“You’re the West Village, you still do it for me.” The West Village. Home to, among other things, Cubbyhole, the Stonewall Inn, and that rainbow-painted crosswalk that just looks brown 11.5 months of the year because of all the foot traffic. Also there’s a saxophone. I play the saxophone. I’m gay. Ipso facto, this song is gay, too.
5. “Daylight” Are you familiar with the concept of “lesbian processing?” It’s a queer stereotype that casts lesbians as overanalyzers who question everything. If there’s something to discuss to death, we’ll discuss it to death. As in you get into bed at night and then you don’t actually sleep because you talk all night long. Through the “20-year dark night” until … daylight.
