Taylor Swift

[MacMadame]

I swear I read that a while back. Looks like he republished it.

And

we must ask if her personal life choices are ones we want our sisters and daughters to emulate. This might sound like pearl-clutching preaching, but it's a concern rooted in sound reasoning.

No, it's a concern rooted in misogyny.

 

[ilovepaydays]

So……her personal life choices are……that she’s still single? Never mind that Travis Kelce is basically the first boyfriend she’s had that (at least so far) looks like he actually adores her and is a cheerleader - no pun intended - for how successful she is.

I could rant more about this but it would take too long.

Yep. If Taylor was a man everyone would be wanting him to be President.

 

[MacMadame]

And listing those "dozen" boyfriends when she dated Jonas in 2008 (16 years ago) and was with Alwyn for seven years is just ridiculous.

When did Newsweek become a right wing rag? Hard to believe they would even consider publishing this nonsense: Taylor Swift Is Not a Good Role Model | Opinion

Quite a while ago. And that's not an uncommon sentiment in conservative circles these days. Unmarried woman = hellbeast. Ask me how I know.

Me too.

I feel like this stuff coming in waves - and a lot of the people doing the most finger pointing using end up a few years later. And then they want all the sympathy in the world.

It used to be single moms. I guess they're upgrading.

I don’t know how she tunes all of this stuff out. I came to this as a Chief’s fan so much of this is new but here is what I have read or heard since last July when Travis first mentioned her:

She is a practicing witch, she is demonic.
She is heterosexual, bisexual and she is gay and all of the men are her beards.
She is a psy-op for the Democrats. She should be canceled because she won’t loudly support Palestine and/or also for her plane emissions.
She is now a billionaire and “there are no ethical billionaires.”
And then the idea that she had scads of men in the last 15 years.
It never ends…

After Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun attempted to take total control of Taylor's career, kill her creativity and suck her dry financially, she prevailed. All this crap about her love life and her friendships, I honestly think she laughs about it (all the way to the recording studio), because only she and those she is or has been close to know the truth. She very rarely gives interviews, allowing her work to speak for her - and speak very often and very loudly I might add.

When I think of Taylor I can't help but remember the infamous moment when Obi Wan Kenobi said to Darth Vader, "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."

Has such a statement ever been made about a single 34 year old man without children?

That is quite a piece for Newsweek to publish in 2024. The 1950s called and wants its journalism back.

I'm really impressed with Taylor, especially when I saw this video on GMA. Taylor honored my most favorite female singer of all times. Taylor mentioned she "paved the way for us", and she definitely did. The singer/artist was there during her Eras Tour. She's talking about a legend whom I found out about 6 or 7 years ago that I'm kin to.

Swift praised the legendary Fleetwood Mac singer, 76, who was in attendance during the final night of Swift's Eras Tour stop in Dublin, Ireland, on June 30.

If there was a "snort" emoji, I'd use it here, lol. It was an opinion piece, so it's not really journalism as such. I'm a journalist by trade, so I feel compelled to make that distinction. Opinion pieces can be written by literally anyone who can put pen to paper (or, in this day and age, type out an email). But yes, as someone who is unmarried, childless, and well into my 50s, I found this article offensive on many levels.

In the “why we can’t have nice things” department: All three concerts in Vienna have been canceled due to a planned terrorist attack. Two suspects have been arrested at this time.

 

[Wyliefan]

Thank God they caught them beforehand. Imagine how bad that could have been. (My goddaughter was at the concert before that, in Warsaw, so it hits home! )

 

[Winnipeg]

People who have nothing better to offer the world than destruction and terror. What wastes of skin IMHO.

Sorry for the concert goers but thank heaven the plot was not carried out and no-one was hurt!

I have total disinterest in the private lives of the singers I support. The only reason I even know who Taylor is dating is because I don't live under a rock.

LOL. I'm not really invested in the private lives of my favorite singers, or actors, for that matter, but I do kind of find myself low-key rooting for Taylor and Travis to stay together.

They just seem so normal, as opposed to the high drama, media-phobic behavior, etc., that has accompanied so many of Tay's past relationships. And she seems genuinely happy, so good for her. Beyond that, I have no interest in scouring through every little bit of video looking for clues as to when he might propose, etc. But those who do, I have no quarrel with. I just don't care that much.

I totally don't get the hype around Sailor Twift.

As a Chiefs fan I was always aware and didn't mind at all. I found between the games, the podcast, the Swifties and the fans it has been an interesting year. I even have a small Taylor playlist now. But I like the whole picture including the male football fans who went ape**** in a bad way when she started showing up to games. And now that Kamala has emerged as a candidate I am seeing those sorts of reactions all over again. I don't understand it at all but I am fascinated by this behavior. And I don't want to put the people above in the same group as the Vienna wanna-be terrorists but were they looking for a big venue to make noise or were they wanting to kill females? I don't know.

Taylor has made her political intentions by separating herself during the other night's football gameL

I highly doubt it; this is more the Mahomes camp keeping Brittany out of the spotlight during the game.

Or maybe she is by hugging Brittany enthusiastically at the US Open?

Taylor’s limited past political activism is theater, IMO.

 

[canbelto]

Taylor and Travis are cute. I guess that makes me parasocial

 

[once_upon]

I only saw Taylor with Ed Kelce and not that she was avoiding Mahomes family.

Not everything is a political statement.

I love the Tay and Tra romance story, but I'm not going to make decisions based upon some perceived politics of a popular icon based on where she sits.

 

[canbelto]

So is the ship name Traylor, Tayvis, or Swelce? Discuss.
Not since Brim (Brody Malone + Tim Daggett) have I been so invested in a ship name.

 

[canbelto]

Taylor has joined the Childless Cat Ladies brigade.

I am suddenly okay with a Taylor Swift OD theme for the Olympic season….

Rumors are Britt is not having an easy pregnancy. I’m glad Taylor addressed the AI fakes in her endorsement. Now there is no confusion.
