There was a time when the best way to identify a fellow gay was to ask, "Are you a friend of Dorothy?"The question was less an expression of Wizard of Oz fandom than a necessary code during a time of rampant structural homophobia.But even in 2022, when queer folks are more visible than ever, winking passphrases persist in the form of, say, "Do you listen to girl in red?"
Gen-Z queer-checking now has its own soundtrack as a growing community of artists and listeners are gathering under the banner of "sapphic pop," a quasi-genre of music by and/or for femme folks who are attracted to other femme folks.

The launch of Taylor Swift's latest album Midnights brought with it sparkly new fashion era for the singer/songwriter.Red and 1989 were her twee eras, Reputation was her edgy era, and Midnights is certainly proving to be her '70s-glam era.The wardrobe for her "Anti-Hero " and "Bejeweled" music videos laid the foundation for the costumes fans can expect to see on tour.
