A self-proclaimed white, “highly academically educated,” lesbian and bisexual writer slammed Taylor Swift as racist, “dangerous” and “cis-heteronormative” for singing about wanting to have babies with her future husband — leaving the internet furious.

In the online essay “Yes, Taylor Swift is racist—just not the kind you think she is,” the “politicized relationship coach” Melissa Fabello compares a song on the pop queen’s new album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” to a “pro-eugenics” anthem and declares that all 12 songs are a “magnum opus of white supremacy.”

“Is Taylor Swift racist?” Fabello asks. “Yes.”

“What makes Taylor Swift dangerous isn’t that she writes lyrics that could serve as the background music to a pro-eugenics Sydney Sweeney ad. It’s that she lacks the self-awareness to see how those two things could be connected,” Fabello writes.

Fabello, who describes herself as “white, thin, middle class, queer, cisgender woman who lives with anxiety” in her website bio, bashes Swift’s new song “Wi$h Li$t” for saying that she simply wants to have children with her football star fiancé, Travis Kelce.

She claims that Swift’s lyrics — “I just want you / Have a couple kids / Got the whole block looking like you” — are “pushing the idea of passing on one’s [white] genes.”

“People were quick to point out that, especially given the cultural climate, expressing a fantasy in which two Aryan-esque rich people populate a neighborhood with blonde-haired, blue-eyed babies is a little … insensitive, at best,” Fabello wrote.

“Pushing the idea of passing on one’s genes, in the context of whiteness, has history to it – history that the pop star who is often lauded for her genius (‘her brain!’) has to be willfully ignorant of for this not to occur to,” she mused in the essay, which quotes a letter Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote in 1963 from Birmingham Jail.

Fabello — whose past “hot takes” include “The Nuclear Family is a Cult” and “The Way You’re Talking About Sex Might Be Homophobic” — also says Swift’s lyrical metaphors “overlap with anti-Blackness.”

“Her liberal attachment to whiteness is actually scarier than if she was MAGA,” the subhead of the article says.

Fabello is a self-proclaimed “relationship coach” who offers “social justice and recreational wellness education in line with my abolitionist politics” and has a PhD in human sexuality studies, according to her Instagram page.

She asserts, as if she’s in the singer’s head, in the essay that Swift “doesn’t think about race at all” before immediately contradicting herself: “and when she does, she sees white supremacy as a far-right issue.”

“Taylor Swift is a white woman whose success relies on cultural narratives of the fragility and purity of white feminity, while practicing zero interrogation into her own whiteness,” Fabello writes.

Swifties were quick to criticize her “take” on Swift — who is famously left-leaning herself and endorsed Kamala Harris for president last year — calling it illogical, absurd and attention-seeking.

“Translation: ‘Taylor Swift is racist because I need her to be for this article,’” one critic wrote on X.

“Not to be all ‘this is why Trump won,’ but it’s crazy that the most famous person in the world is outspokenly liberal and regularly endorses democrats and this is how leftists treat her. A movement addicted to self destruction,” another user wrote.

A third user sarcastically bashed, “But the author has a PhD in her byline! How could she be wrong?”

“I don’t think [Swift] is a racist at all and the assumption that I do is a telling flaw in the writer’s entire worldview,” another wrote.

Fabello didn’t return The Post’s request for an interview Thursday.
