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.
Maybe I’m spoiled, but the biggest city around here also has the best water
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.
I literally couldn’t read the article, as it kept reloading the page every few seconds, jumping out of reader view and to its fundraising banner. I’m guessing that’s some kind of copy protection against people not looking at ads or something. In any case, it worked.
Is this any better?
Thanks; that worked
Awesome, now tell me what you think about tswift’s new album? I listened to 3 seconds of it and hated it!
while I didn’t have that issue myself, I tested it and the site works well enough with JS disabled.
Man I sure hope so. Seems like every time she farts sideways it’s front page news. Enough already.
The remarkable amount of new holeage she’d have to get added to actually fart sideways would make that news, yes
Wait she farts sideways? Like it comes out of her hip? That is news!
As in, lifts a cheek to sneak one. 🤌🏼
Ah, we call that “popping a sneaker” here
Oh! I never got that expression. But I’m a loud and proud type. With so much misery in the world it seems wrong not to revel in the joy of a good fart. Like throwing away dinner during a famine.
She’s a billionaire that’s engaged to someone that appears to be a Magat. How is anyone surprised?
engaged to someone that appears to be a Magat
Where do you get this from? I’m not super caught-up with Taylor Swift’s lore, but I know that Kelce is largely progressive, and has quietly supported Kamala.
I could be wrong, and I know he’s left on some things, but it’s mostly the refusal to denounce things said by the more outwardly right wing teammates he has (Butker) and apparent happiness at playing in front of Trump at the super bowl. If he’s not actually maga, he’s as least centrist enough to be ok with magats.
I thought he was a fascist or a sympathizer until just now.
Maybe you were going by appearance? He sure looks like one. I’m a middle-aged white redneck, only my long hair might clue you in I’m no MAGA.
About appearances, I was at a party in the state park last week. The only other white guy was the birthday girl’s husband and everyone was mostly speaking Tagalog and bits of broken Spanish, so him and I talked a good bit. This dude is 69 and really struck me as MAGA.
“Damned glad I’m done serving. I couldn’t take orders from that orange moron.”
LOL, and we were off to the races! The one’s who are MAGA rarely surprise me when I find out, but my prejudice often bites me when I assume.
Yeah fair enough.
I think I got caught up in the teammates wife being super maga or something
“won’t let us forget”
… Thafuq is this bullshit wording? Grow a spine or STFU, drama pet.
This article has a unique-looking link and I couldn’t find it anywhere on on the HuffPo site. Why?
I didn’t know Lemmy hated Taylor Swift. If I heard that, I would have guessed it was because she is “too mainstream,” but now I also see that it is because she is rich and is in a relationship with someone not politically pure enough.
I also suppose that endorsing Harris in the last election probably turned people off.
Lemmy hates her cause she’s obscenely rich, not because she’s female
I hate her because only dead musicians are artists
No one gets to be a billionaire without stealing from other people. Her private jet trips spending what should be the CO2 budget of a mid sized city even without accounting for the rest of her lifestyle cements her as a net negative for humanity.
Hating rich people isn’t weird, simping for them is
It’s a platform catering towards techy middle aged men that can’t relate to her story at all. Of course, there’s always the bullshit about “of course I can’t relate to being a greedy billionaire” but it’s every single aspect, namely, never having been a teenage girl.
These guys will then go on to act like the teen girl story is a gimmick and that she should do something more mature, then scroll and geek out over painting some 40K figurines. Spoiler alert, we never stopped being kids, we just got wrinkly and gray.
I don’t get Swift. 300,000,000 women do. Clearly, she’s striking a chord somewhere significant.
the demo on lemmy to me mostly seems to be techie 20 somethings.
I’m a 54-yo techie. There seems to be far more people my age and older than I ever saw on reddit. Part of the reason I say that is so many mention their age when appropriate in context. There was an Ask Lemmy thread the other day where you almost had to state your age and I felt on the mid-younger end. Weird.
Also, there’s so many joke and memes that I would think only Millennials or even back to GenX would get.
“As god as my witness, I thought turkey’s could fly.”
Loads of people will get that reference. And that aired in 1978!
Got to say, Lemmy doesn’t feel like a hivemind-type place the way Reddit sometimes does — at least not to me.
If people love her, that’s fine. I’d say she’s definitely more talented than a lot of vacuous pop out there. But the level of adoration does seem a bit cult-like.
Not sure if anyone saw her on Graham Norton, but she came across as a bit self-involved, and it was painful watching the other guests fawn over her. Lewis Capaldi, with his down-to-earth humour and unfiltered honesty (plus his mild Tourette’s), was a total breath of fresh air in comparison.
I care as much about her as I’ve cared about any pop diva over the past 40 years; not at all, other than rolling my eyes about how important so many people seem to think they are, and quietly looking forward to the day I never hear about them again. They’re not for me and that’s fine. If little girls like her, that’s also fine, but the screaming fanaticism they attract has always baffled me.
I’ve never heard a single one of her songs, and have zero interest in changing that. So, no hate, just apathy, with a bit of frustration at the stupidity of the masses. A normal day, in other words.
You’ve never heard a Taylor Swift song? I don’t favor her music, but I’ve heard several songs.
So I have a frame of reference, have you ever heard a Beatles song? How about Coldplay?
It’s entirely possible I have heard one of her songs playing in a supermarket or somewhere, but didn’t recognise it as her, although, that said, my local supermarket doesn’t seem to play anything from this century.
I could probably name 2 Coldplay songs, but I don’t seek out their music either. The Beatles are inescapable - I even quite like a few of their tunes. Hth :)
See my post history if you’d like to know more about my taste in music.
