nevermythologized

As someone who thinks she’s bi she just means other men pretended to be her forever (masqueraded as ‘the one’) while she hoped that “Peter” would come back like they promised…but the whole thing is her being delusional about the merits of this return from her past until the very end when she realizes the person she belongs with isn’t anyone from her past at all and turns off the light she left on for “Peter” all this time to guide them home, and decides to move forward instead.

tbh i think that taylor herself is peter in this song. “you said you were gonna grow up” -> “i never grew up it’s getting so old” “i have this thing where i get older but just never wiser” “growing up precocious sometimes means never growing up at all”. she has alluded multiple times to feeling as if she is stuck at an adolescent age so it makes sense that she would identify with peter pan. i think she was the one who chose the lost boys chapter, i think that’s what makes this song so tragic. she can’t grow up but she wants wendy to wait for her anyway. but of course wendy can’t wait for her.

she’s alluded to herself being peter before. in cardigan, “peter losing wendy” she’s singing about james. yk, jaMEs.

the line “in closets like cedar” really puts the nail in the coffin. she is keeping their love in the closet and choosing her (self-described) childish desire for fame over the love they had.

i also think the connections this song has to seven are interesting too. “preserved from when we were just kids” — her authentic love is relegated to a magical, nostalgic, almost imaginary time. it was only as a kid when she was able to express the love she had for her female companions because it was acceptable then.

her explicitly sapphic songs (betty, ivy, dorothea) are from albums that are “fictional”. she can play with queerness if there is a layer of imagination or fairy tale over it. in closets like cedar. shade never made anyone less gay.

also fun fact: i got into smith with an essay about how seven by taylor swift is about queer childhood. so the smith college admissions committee knows what’s up.

One could say Plausible deniability since she is dressed as ace frehley from the band KISS and there’s a few Hershey’s kiss costumes. But a straight girl isnt going to sing 🎶 I wanna kiss a girl and hold her tight 🎶 looks like truth telling to me, carefree days of youth. There’s that signature hair fluff at the end, after she takes the wig off

Mind you this was before. Chely Wright came out publicly in 2010
