Pop star Taylor Swift has been a huge music superstar for over 10 years, but her personal romantic life and sexual orientation have stayed a mystery to her millions of fans. Even though she has sold tons of albums and won many awards, the 33-year-old singer has kept details about who she dates very private. This has caused a lot of rumors and guesses that Swift might be gay or bisexual, instead of straight like people usually think based on her public boyfriends. Let’s look at the clues and theories about this topic.
The Never-Ending Rumors
For many years, there have been constant rumors about Taylor Swift’s sexual orientation and her romantic relationships. The 33-year-old pop star has stayed very quiet about her personal life, refusing to directly comment on the guesses that she may be gay or bisexual.
Lyrics From “Lover” Album Fuel the Fire
The rumors took off in 2019 after Swift released her hit album “Lover,” which had some lyrics that some fans thought meant she had dated women before. Songs like “Dress” and “Lover” had sexy lines like “Only bought this dress so you could take it off” and “We go on playing so geometrically.”

Who Has She Dated?
Swift has publicly dated several famous men that everyone knows about, including Joe Jonas, John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, Harry Styles, and Calvin Harris. However, there has also been gossip that she may have secretly dated women like her close friend Karlie Kloss and singer Katy Perry, whom she feuded with for years before making up.
Music Video Shows Pride
Swift added fuel to the fire with her “You Need to Calm Down” music video, which celebrated LGBTQ pride with queer images and themes. At one point, she hugs her friend and rumored ex Karamo Brown while surrounded by a group intimately dancing together.
Keeping Her Private Life Private
Despite all the constant rumors, Swift has refused to directly talk about her sexual orientation, saying she wants to keep some level of privacy. In a 2019 interview, she said “I’m not going to do that crazy thing my team wants of being the big spokesperson for all sexuality…I’m doing my own thing, which is writing about my life.”
Fans Search for Hints
Still, her hardcore base of “Swifties” fans keeps closely watching her every move, lyric, and relationship for any possible hints. When she brought her female friend Dianna Agron as her date to the 2023 Grammys, it made fans wonder all over again.
“Taylor has been so vague about everything for so long, it’s driving fans insane trying to figure it out,” said pop culture writer Lindsay Powers. “But at the end of the day, it’s her personal life and she doesn’t owe anyone that info if she doesn’t want to share it.”
An LGBTQ Supporter
Whether she says she’s straight, gay, bisexual, or somewhere else on the spectrum, Swift has supported LGBTQ people and equal rights for a long time. If and when she wants to go public about her orientation is totally up to her.
