Ah, but she didn't say "I hope our kids look like you". She said "I want to live in a neighborhood full of kids that look like you"

'Cause...

This

For the fourth (?) time, I'm not saying she's a nazi but it's not all a coincidence, especially when she's known for every little thing being intentional  

It literally kills me that these people sit there and talk about a million and one different things she does on purpose and how it's super clever. That she loves the number 14 or whatever so she has 14 of x, that she's using numerology for y other reason, the double entendres. Releasing her new album on the same date as when she brought out Charli XCX on tour. But then when it's her posing w a guy in a Swastika shirt, the necklace, the album covers, the various lyrics, etc. people are coming in this thread and calling the people pointing this out retarded  That's how you know it's a cult.

I think the people thinking she's purposefully doing it are kinda nuts, but you have to admit that it's f*cking weird that she isn't doing anything at all about the allegations/theories. Like why isn't she absolutely horrified that people can speculate this about her without crazily reaching to do so? I feel like because it's such a genuinely abhorrent view to agree with, anyone with the tiniest bit of common sense would do everything they could to disrupt/disprove it.

Why should she give any legitimacy to what is clearly people trying to invent reasons to dislike her instead of just simply saying they don’t and leaving it there?

I mean. Come on, when it's one thing after another, there's a reason this is happening  

The onyx/opalite debate, the neighborhood of white kids thing, the SS necklace, this mess, I refuse to believe these are ALL accidental and coincidence from an artist/camp that is notorious for their easter eggs and scavenger hunts  

I ain't saying Taylor's a nazi but there is surely some f*ckery afoot.

Girl, please don’t do this. You are much smarter than that. You know why these things are coming in quick succession and you know it’s got nothing to do with her. I would think a Michael Jackson stan of all people could recognize when something is a legitimate conversation and when something is people making **** up to justify how they already feel about someone.

[Wolf Boy 3,328]

LOL, i can’t stand her either…..but the REACHES that people are showcasing to try so hard to prove she’s secretly evil is beyond insane.

She’s not a Nazi. Go outside. Get fresh air.

I love how insane everyone’s getting

Apparently the back of this clock thing doesn't actually resemble a swastika when it's assembled normally 

 

 

can any swifties here confirm?

[Taylucifer 5,181]

do y'all actually have nothing better to do than jump through hoops to make someone look like a nazi? there are ACTUAL nazis, go focus your energy on them. This misinformation/smear campaign is ridiculous, you can make anyone look like anything if you twist your mind enough, what is wrong with you people

You can see that it doesn’t in the video posted by the OP. She shows what it looks like properly arranged.

Also, her easter eggs are not so incredibly hidden where you have to get conspiratorial and they RELATE TO HER WORK.

The 'evidence' presented is abstracted so far from the intent - 12 lightning bolts for her 12 album with a lyric about lightning. A clock because the album is called midnights, a cool way to give fans a display thing beyond just buy the record, a swastika is not even there unless you make it yourself... literally what point is being made other than you can make a swastika if you have the correct shapes? Says more about people wanting to see such things than it does anything about Taylor.

Take your bad faith interpretations away from this site and tbh away from the internet at large, it is ridiculous and you know it.

Playing devils advocate, Taylor is known for paying an extreme attention to details and easter eggs. Every single thing she does has been 100% thought out. Easter eggs are thought out years in advance. Soooooo this could very well be intentional or just a one time thing she accidentally missed. Which i find hard to believe since shes so involved in every single thing she does. Its not hard to just turn the albums around and see what it looks like from that view. 

Easter eggs relate to the music and her work, she has made that very clear.

I work in design, normal people are not moving the album covers around to try and make a swastika idk what to tell you.

You mean the thing that is supposed to be discovered and toyed with? It's not that the albums came with instructions for them to outright be a clock, fans were SUPPOSED to discover the Easter Egg by rearranging the variants like tiles. It just so happens that one way it makes a clock, and on the reverse side  it can form a Swastika. Originally, the fans ate it up saying "She's so deep and intentional" but somehow now it's "It's not that deep".  Graphic designers are taught to be intentional with design, and often to avoid possible misrepresentations. This is also all passed through many teams, yet somehow it wasn't caught? Adding any sort of art to the left side of the album art would have broken any possible symbolism.

Fans actually are not supposed to rearrange the variants, it makes a clock and is meant to be displayed that way. It is not meant to be rearranged as you claim, that was never the goal. It doesn't even make a Swastika if you flip everything over, that is only possible, as you admit, after manipulation and rotating to fit whatever thing you see. 

Originally, the fans ate it up saying "She's so deep and intentional" but somehow now it's "It's not that deep". 

Let's break this down, she is deep and intentional when it comes to her work. Swift has made it abundantly clear that easter eggs relate to her musical output. So it is that deep if you are talking about what album could be coming next, or what event she could be talking about or the symbolism of the lyric and what feeling that portrays.

HOWEVER it does not and has not extended to Swift's political views - which she had made abundantly clear are left leaning multiple times, endorsing democratic candidates, encouraging voting and her advocacy for the Equality Act. So it is not that deep when you are trying to make Swift seem like a Nazi because of your own delusions based off a TikTok, go and talk to a normal person and you'll see that people are not looking for Swastika's or Nazi symbolism in their everyday lives because they are not NAZIS and have no reason to be. 

Graphic designers are intentional, I would know, I am one. This is a ridiculous thing to be looking for as it completely divorces the original intention from the design. Bad faith interpretations will always be there when you are the biggest artist in the world, as you currently display.

Overall, If she really wanted to make it look like a Swastika she would have, but she did not because she is not a Nazi. Please focus your energy and apparent care on people who are actually Nazis instead of trying to frame people you do not like a Nazis and looking foolish while you do it.

If she truly is America's english teacher as some swifties have tried to make happen - we have found the reason for the bad literacy rates. 

Ms. Swift was the one who tried to make herself america's english teacher lol, she planted that narrative herself on that hideous engagement post, swifties just ran with it as they do...

[hELXIG 43,525]

So is this how it looks when correctly arranged in the clock formation and you look at the back?

Honestly if anything it would've been the designer. I don't think she's dumb enough to bother putting dogwhistles in her cover art for her 12 year old girl fans
