Yes, There's a Summer Camp For Fans Who Think Taylor Swift Is Gay

Do you believe in Kaylor?

If you do believe in them (the ship name for Karlie Kloss and Taylor Swift), there may be a perfect place for you to spend your summers: Camp Gaylore.

Camp Gaylore is a new summer camp, run for the first time this year, that took place in Cape Cod, where people from around the continent can come together to discuss their religion: trying to find out if Taylor Swift is gay.

"Gaylors" (that is, a certain subset of Swifties who consume and interpret all Swift's art through a gay lens) live by two rules: 1.) Taylor Swift is gay and 2.) she has been leaving clues signaling that she is gay throughout her entire career. At Camp Gaylore, like-minded Gaylors can come together and share their theories, the clues they’ve found, and the joy they get from being in a community together.

The in-person camp only had about 25 campers, plus about a dozen volunteers running it, but around 300 Gaylors signed up for online access to presentations, panels, and other virtual parts of the camp.

According to Cosmo, workshops and panels include “Unpacking Parasocial Relationships: A Conversation in Favor of Imagination & Community,” “Friends of Fletcher: Themes in the Music and Visuals of Sapphic Singers & Songwriters,” and queer twists on The Hunger Games and The Great Gatsby.

But not all of the camp is about theories and panels. The attendees said that their favorite parts were just getting to spend time with other queer people who share some of the same passions as them. Because the Gaylor community is mostly online, this was the first time many of them got to have these kinds of in-depth discussions with a group of people in real life.

With Swift’s currently ongoing Eras tour, her high-profile friendships with women, and her love for putting out cottagecore music, Gaylors will undoubtedly have tons of evidence to pour over for the next twenty summers, no matter how cruel they are.
