Antoni Porowski, a renowned gay figure and culinary expert known for “Queer Eye,” is making waves as he stands firmly in support of friend and music sensation, Taylor Swift, in light of a recent severe critique. Though best known for his delightful role in the Netflix reboot, Porowski’s visibility as an openly gay public figure has provided him a platform to advocate for LGBTQ+ representation and rights.
Canadian-born Porowski, a staunch defender of love, isn’t one to back down when it comes to his friends. His closeness with Taylor Swift traces back to his love for her music – an admiration that eventually blossomed into friendship.
As such, when Swift faced harsh criticism recently for her new album The Tortured Poets Department, Porowski was one of the first to jump to her defense. In the comments on New York Times bad review, he wrote, “Oh no what u doing.”
Porowski is a big fan of the album, sharing via his own Instagram Stories that his favorite tracks are “Down Bad,” “Florida!!!,” “loml” and “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.”

“I couldn’t be happier [for her],” Porowski said about Swift and her romance with NFL player Travis Kelce during an interview with People in November 2023.
“I’m very supportive. She’s an incredible, formidable woman who’s managing to tour the world over.”
He added, “My hopes for them as a couple are that they just that they continue to be really happy and to enjoy this moment and all the future moments to come.”
Porowski‘a love life seems to mirror his multifaceted, passionate nature. Despite being notoriously private about his relationships, Porowski shares openly about being gay and the journey that led him to self-acceptance, serving as an inspiration for many in the LGBTQ+ community. While he may play the diplomatic role in the “Queer Eye” quintet, he is very outspoken when it comes to issues close to his heart, inclusivity being one.
