What do all of the stars mean?

I have been noticing a lot of stars with Taylor. From lyrics, to merch, to pictures, they're everywhere and once you start noticing you can't stop. I added the stars from the pictures she posted on insta because it takes a specific lens to get those stars, so they are intentional. They might just be for aesthetics though. There are many more lyrical examples I just included a few. There are also many more merch examples, I can find stars on almost everything. She may just like stars, but honestly it's a suspicious amount

also subtle pride flag she posted on the 5th photo, with the lover house being the orange, and then white and pink on the stage

anyways, any ideas?!
