Neither a carefully worded statement asking people to stop speculation nor an unsourced statement complaining about more speculation comes anywhere near a statement that she is straight. I've never seen an unequivocal statement for that, and if it exists, I'd like to know.
You said this so perfectly! I've been very uncomfortable the past few years with people accusing celebrities of queerbaiting just for doing anything non-heteronormative. Awhile ago people were mad at Harry Styles for wearing skirts and dressing more 'feminine' despite being straight. I thought we were trying to do away with the whole gendered clothes concept! I don't want to live in a world where I have to act or look a certain way according to my sexuality, I feel like lgbtqia+ movements have been trying to change this for decades, now suddenly we're getting mad if people don't act "straight enough". What does that even mean?
Also, I'm sure I don't have to tell you, but another frustrating thing is that they're either straight OR gay, rarely if ever is the possibility of them being bi even considered. I mean, I don't like people speculating either way, but if you insist, at least entertain the notion that bi is also on the table!
Taylor has made it clear, in interviews and statements through her publicist, that she sees herself as straight"
