About this deal

Per usual, fans have flocked to pick through her songs, hoping to decode a lyric or unveil a secret. Slate’s Madison Malone Kircher previously unpacked in Slate this obsessive pattern-seeking by “Gaylors” in relation to the “teasing rhymes” in Swift’s 2021 track “The Very First Night.

TikToker and dedicated Swiftie Emily Stokes released a video on October 24th, three days after 'Midnights' was released, hashing out the June Bates theory. On that tracklist was a song titled, you guessed it, "Lavender Haze" and this is where the theory originates.

The reference to "sapphic poetry" in the collection's title has also added to the theory that Swift is alluding to her queer identity in her music. Outside of people creating new trends with the album, there are also millions of new theories about Swift's music. The most obvious clue, of course, is that "Lavender Haze" is also the title of the opening track on Taylor's new album "Midnights. Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page.

Another thing that made me smile while reading the book was how safe she felt in her partner's arms, and how calm she was in those moments with her, no bad thoughts, no intrusive thoughts, just her and her partner in bed nothing else in the world matters according to her. In a short period of time Bates managed to capture the pain, beauty, and magnificence that comes with being queer in today's society.

On TikTok, her song "Karma" has already proven important for a new trend of revenge against ugly and toxic exes — which we’re absolutely here for. From intentional connections to Harry Styles’ music, references to previous albums, alleged baby names, or even ties to mysterious poet June Bates — can we handle any more rumors hidden in this album?

Not only does she state the obvious with the connection in titles, but she also delves into some of the deeper conspiracies about the style of the lyrics, connections to previous albums, and the timeline of the book release.

There were so many poems that I totally related to and ones I know I will come back to in the future. ce recueil était juste incroyable 🤎 pleins de poèmes où je me suis retrouvée dedans, où les mots ont resonnés en moi, trouvant une place dans mon cœur. The book's release came after, on October 6, Swift unveiled the tracklist for "Midnights" ahead of the album's October 21 release. Se sabe que no solo hay ciertos tipos “closet”, si no demasiados, y muchas de las veces pertenecemos a uno por nuestros padres, y por sus exigencias en vivir NUESTRA vida a su manera. even though everyone lives different lives, poetry can pull us together with our experiences and connect us.

Not to be rude to June Bates, but Taylor is not writing this third-grade poetry," another comment read. words, which posts the text of sensitive, mostly lower-case poems to snippets of sensitive, mostly lower-case music. A lot of people are seriously speculating that she is the one who wrote the book, even though the book is accredited to “June Bates”. We can't be all too surprised, as everyone and their mother knows Swift is known for her easter eggs. What really made this theory take off is Bates’ “Sapphic” content, which made the book catnip to the many, many Taylor Swift fans who have long combed all evidence for signs that Swift is not straight, as she identifies, but actually queer.Is it possible that despite the lack of actual textual congruence between the two oeuvres, Taylor Swift is choosing to come out, a fraught and highly personal decision, by self-publishing a book of unpolished poems under a pen name?
