Taylor Swift addressed the rumors around her sexualized female friendships and more in her ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’ prologue
As the singer, 33, released 1989 on Friday, October 27 — exactly nine years after dropping the original record in 2014 — she included a prologue that reflected back on the constant backlash and scrutiny she faced from the public during that particular era of her life.
Swift remembered feeling like if she changed her behavior, she wouldn’t be scrutinized. However, the plan quickly backfired. “If I only hung out with my female friends, people couldn’t sensationalize or sexualize that right? I would learn later on that people could and people would,” she said. Agron later denied the romance rumors during a May interview with Rolling Stone. “I mean, there have been many stories about my dating life that are so wildly untrue,” she told the outlet. “That’s funny.”
Another theory — often posited by 'Kaylors,' a subset of Swifties who ship Swift and her one-time bestie Karlie Kloss — is that Swift and Kloss, 31, were once romantically involved, though Swift's rep once referred to reports that the two women were caught making out as 'crap' in 2014. Though Swift and Kloss appeared to have a falling out around 2016, the model attended Swift's Los Angeles Eras Show in August with her husband, Joshua Kushner.
“Even as an adult, I still have recurring flashbacks of sitting at lunch tables alone or hiding in a bathroom stall, or trying to make a new friend and being laughed at,” she wrote in an essay for the outlet. “In my 20s, I found myself surrounded by girls who wanted to be my friend. So I shouted it from the rooftops, posted pictures, and celebrated my newfound acceptance into a sisterhood, without realizing that other people might still feel the way I did when I felt so alone.
