Taylor swift gay lyric
Some of the queerest lyrics on Lover
I’m still in the early stages of listening to the album, but wanted to complete a quick compilation of lyrics that stand out to me as particularly queer. Lots of folks have been asking me for this, so here they are, along with explanations geared toward people who don’t spend a ton of time on Kaylor tumblr for light sharing with your more skeptical friends. ;) Enjoy!
“Cruel Summer”

You&#;re a redneck heartbreak who&#;s really unpleasant at lying
So watch me strike a match on all my wasted time
As far as I&#;m concerned, you&#;re just another picture to burn
And if you&#;re missing me, you&#;d superior keep it to yourself
&#;Cause coming back around here would be bad for your health
&#;Cause I loathe that stupid old
