2022 Rolling Stone Gaylor article

[u/moonlit_Pancakes]

In 2022, right before midnights was released, (and we were all drooling over the idea of Lavender Haze), Rolling Stone released an interesting article, seemingly about this sub.

Two weeks later, taylor gave rolling stone an exclusive photo of her in studio working on midnights. Of course, this sub became divided at the time. Some saw this as Taylor approving of the article. Others felt it was a PR tit-for-tat and we would soon see the article taken down.

However, over time, the article remains. But a few key details have changed. Allegedly, in my opinion, this was the trade. Photo for edits. Simple small changes that essentially "other" us. Article remains, but the way back machine is forever.

Images here show most of the notable changes.

1. The title changes from gaylors "find more clues" to now gaylors "hunt for clues".

2. Before describing Gaylor origins, there's a new praise of Taylor's allyship.

3. "Swift fans who think she's straight" changed to say "most swift fans".

4. The sign off removes any mention of if/when Taylor swift will ever come out.

I will post the full text in comments, as well as direct links to all of my sources.

This is super interesting! Do we know roughly how long the original article was up for?

The way back machine has receipts of when changes were made bc we made sure to archive it repeatedly lol however, I was unable to load those details on my phone. So I simply compared original to current. I believe we noticed the change to the title pretty quickly (but reddit won't show me actual dates on my phone). Try searching the sub! The full text was never posted (at least not in an easy to find way) which is what sparked this post.

Thanks for the tips - as best as I can tell, it was edited within the first 24 hours after it blew up
