    It’s crazy it took this long for people to get tired of a 40 year old billionaire singing teen love songs…

    Every “good” album was after she broke up with a bf, because that the only relatable experience she has to her fans. Lots of people called that getting engaged/married would be the end of her career.

    She simply has nothing in common with her fans anymore. But she’s been a horrible person for decades, especially towards female singers who are younger than her. And now their fans are starting to realize who the problem always was.

      I remember something where Tina Fey wrote a bit on SNL parodying swift and someone interviewed Taylor and she said something to the effect of “as Barbara Walters says there’s a special place in hell for women who don’t support other women” about Fey in regards to a pretty gentle and innocuous comedy bit. Which was funny because Barbara Walters was a shitty person who broke down other women too. I honestly think Swift isn’t super different from Kanye. They’re both rich, self-obsessed assholes who have zero sense of humor about themselves and zero real-world awareness. A lot of people have known she was a piece of shit for a long time but if you ever said anything about it you were called a liar, sexist, jealous, or we’re just doxxed by swifties

        I see where Swift was coming from there, I always found the “roasting someone” phenomenon quite strange. Being horrible to one another isn’t something worth celebrating, in my view.

        I’m convinced shit like paper straws is just to turn people against saving the planet.

        The fucking straws aren’t great, but the real problem has always been the oligarchs and corporations.

        So they come up with stuff that won’t help, but will get people pissed at climate activists.

        Shit’s so obvious but no one ever talks about it. It’s the same principle as means testing, divide and conquer

          The straw is the last thing I tend to worry about getting the sorta carbonated water that doesn’t have enough syrup in it so you’re basically drinking carbonated municipal water supply with some chemical colorants.

      Most of her hardcore fans are remarkably dumb. Even the ones who have finally seen the light, quoted in this article.

      “I don’t expect celebrities to be political or foreign policy experts, but the past few months have felt like her only concern is selling us a plethora of vinyl variants.”

      The past few months?!! She’s been hawking vinyl variants for years. The album before this one dominated the charts for months because they released so many variants.

      “I’m a fan ― I even flew to Scotland for the Eras Tour ― but Taylor has felt out-of-touch lately.”

      Oh yeah. Just lately. Keep using that brain of yours. You’ll get there.

      I’m not a Taylor Swift fan, but I do have one thing in common with her: I wanna fuck her boyfriend. Maybe she should sing songs about that.

      ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        Apparently she made an incredibly juvenile song about how big his dick is?

        Like, not just a song about his dick and that is juvenile. But a song about him that sounds like a 7th grader wrote it.

        A bad attempt at Sabrina Carpenter’s whole deal.

        So yeah, maybe you’ll like at least one song on it…

      She also has a decent set of songs built around her coming to grips with that her unhappiness may be more due to herself than others.

      She also seems like an aspirational version of a lot of women.
