Taylor has been known to drop Easter eggs in her work, but fans say this is taking it too far.

This week, an op-ed speculating about Taylor Swift’s sexuality was published online.

In it, the writer cites various “clues” to try and prove that the singer is secretly queer.

These include different references and hidden secrets throughout her catalog, like Taylor’s rainbow-themed Lover album launch. But the writer also noted that she’s “dropped hairpins before Lover and has continued to do so since.”

“Those dropped hairpins began to appear in Ms. Swift’s artistry long before queer identity was undeniably marketable to mainstream America. They suggest to queer people that she is one of us,” the person said.

While Taylor herself has not yet commented on the report, a source told CNN that her team is allegedly outraged over it.

“Because of her massive success, in this moment there is a Taylor-shaped hole in people’s ethics,” a purported insider told the outlet.

They also said how, “This article wouldn’t have been allowed to be written about Shawn Mendes or any male artist whose sexuality has been questioned by fans.”

“There seems to be no boundary some journalists won’t cross when writing about Taylor, regardless of how invasive, untrue, and inappropriate it is — all under the protective veil of an ‘opinion piece,’” the source continued.

Fans also shared their thoughts about it online, with many in agreement that it was wrong.
