It's clearly an effort to add a softened political message into her music without rubbing too many people the wrong way.' Online, many fans shared a similar take. The uncharitable explanation for all this queer-signaling is that Swift is trying to profit off the intrigue around her sexuality by giving queer fans just enough material to keep them interested while never actually coming out-either because she doesn’t want to hurt her career or because, you know, she’s straight.Įsquire writer Justin Kirkland voiced a similar take, writing 'such a calculated move to leverage LGBTQ rights into her own image seems gross.
Pitchfork slammed the track, writing that she 'ends up sounding like another corporation proving they’re 'down for the cause' during Pride Month.' Additionally, critic Michelle Kim wrote 'The words are penned with the energy of a nail-painting emoji and delivered with a plastic smile,' and '(the song) is like one of those fancy unicorn cupcakes, an impossibly cute confection designed to distract you from the fact that it’s a mediocre dessert.'
