A recent article in The New York Times magazine questioned whether Taylor Swift is “incognito” gay. In the 5,000-word article, author Anna Marks linked details related to the gay community that she said the singer has incorporated throughout her career. The author claimed that Taylor has been “sending signals” and “trying to fit in with the community” for many years. The reason she did not want to publicly say that she was gay was simply to protect her own career.

Taylor Swift is rumored to be “informally gay”.

Speaking to CNN, a close associate of Taylor Swift criticized the article: “Because of her current success, there is a gap in the ethics of some people when it comes to Taylor Swift. There seems to be no line that some journalists will not cross when writing about Taylor, no matter how intrusive, untrue, or inappropriate it is. And they will use the excuse of ‘opinion’ to protect themselves from criticism.”

A close associate of Taylor Swift has angrily denied this suspicion.

Taylor Swift herself has repeatedly and tactfully denied rumors about her sexuality in the past. In a 2019 interview with Vogue, the singer said: “Basically, the rights of everyone who is not a white male are being taken away. It wasn’t until recently that I realized I could advocate for a community that I don’t belong to . ”

In the introduction to her album 1989 (Taylor’s Version), which was released in October 2023, Taylor also shared: “I thought that if I just hung out with girls, people wouldn’t be able to make headlines and sexualize it. But then I learned that they can and they will.”
