After days of cryptic, pastel-colored Instagram pictures and a mysterious countdown on her website, fans of Taylor Swift thought that the singer-songwriter was finally going to be coming out of the closet last night. Despite all the rumors and conspiracy theories pointing to it, in real life, the only thing that came out during Taylor's appearance at the NFL Draft in an interview with Robin Roberts was...a new single featuring pansexual Panic! at the Disco frontman Brendon Urie called "ME!"
As one can imagine, many queer fans had lots of feelings...
