A New York Times opinion piece that openly speculated this week whether Taylor Swift is a closeted queer person has drawn the ire of the pop superstar\u2019s associates. The lengthy op-ed, published Thursday, compiles a laundry list of what the writer labels as \u201cevidence\u201d that allegedly proves the \u201cBlank Space\u201d singer is a member of the LGBTQIA+ community.
\u201cThere seems to be no boundary some journalists won\u2019t cross when writing about Taylor, regardless of how invasive, untrue, and inappropriate it is \u2013 all under the protective veil of an \u2018opinion piece,\u2019\u201d<\/b> a source told CNN Business Saturday.
\u201cBecause of her massive success, in this moment there is a Taylor-shaped hole in people\u2019s ethics,<\/b>\u201d they added.<\/p>\nIt is highly unusual for a reputable news organization like The Times to publish an article speculating on a person\u2019s sexuality, let alone a figure of immense cultural significance who has previously denied the insinuations.<\/i><\/p>\n
The insider emphasized that the Times op-ed would not \u201chave been allowed to be written about Shawn Mendes or any male artist whose sexuality has been questioned by fans.\u201d
