          Classic conflict.

          On the one hand she sucks but “only” as much as every other billionaire and less then a lot, like at least she’s not also using her platform for spreading bigotry but also she’s like the poster child for climate ruining personal consumption.

          But on the other hand she makes chuds incredibly mad just by existing.

          So bad with confusing unintended side effects?

      White people. I say this as a white person. Pretty much every second white women loves Taylor Swift, even where I live. Apparently Taylor also alienated a ton of her black fans by dating and writing half an album about a racist guy that went on a cumtown podcast and said racist things. That’s what I understand from browsing social media and listening to the first half of her latest album.

      Honestly listening to Taylor Swift’s latest album was weird. She had a whole song dedicated to calling out the section of her fans that told her to stop dating the racist guy. That level of parasocial behaviour on such a big pop record weirded me out. But I guess that’s why she’s popular, people want to be invested in the Taylorverse™®

        How many songs/albums does she have about people she dated? I know that’s the most relatable thing to write lyrics about but if like 15 dudes in a row have done you wrong maybe take a look in the mirror?

          She’s made songs referencing that lol. Blank Space is the most popular from her self reflection songs, although it’s supposedly satirizing those sentiments lol. It’s a banger though

          That quarterback is going to disappear off the face of earth like most of the previous boyfriends after breaking up

          i googled it and she’s mentioned 12, which isn’t crazy for a conventionally attractive woman in her mid 30s who’s been famous for like, two decades. and as far as ive heard she’s on good terms with more than a few

        She had a beautiful song called The Lakes which was ruined by her lyrics referencing twitter beef lol
