I read the articles, could still not give a shit about her either way. She’s not bigger than Elvis or the Beatles. You’re going to need 50 more years to make that argument.
You make a good point about the music. I can listen to a Beatles song that is now more than 50 years old that I listened to back then and it still thrills me. Will Taylor Swift’s songs do the same for someone 50 years from now? Maybe. We will have to wait and see. Ah. Oops. I won’t be around 50 years from now. Darn. I will never know.
RIP, Toby Keith. Geez Taylor didn't even mention Keith's contribution to her success. She dropped a new album the same day he passed too! Not one mention of Toby, period. Watch out Kelsie, you next. She's not nice. BTW Toby discovered Tailor Swift and signed her 1st country record deal. 🤔
HUH? What irritates me is that a billionaire is so fkng stupid to support socialism , socialists do no respect wealth - nor do they respect Constitutional Republic. I can't believe that Americans are so FKNG narcotized that they depend on someone else to secure their liberties. UNBELIEVABLE
Socialism? Like public schools, public highways and other infrastructure, unemployment stipends, public housing and public assistance? All things that Republican voters consume in large quantities, despite the narrative. Don't even get me started on the idiocy of the "Conservative" label - who came up with that one? Worrying about who marries who, what damn gender someone "identifies with", whether teenagers are going to be scandalized or "indoctrinated" by a goddam piece of literature, and whether someone can terminate their own damn pregnancy. Lordy.
1- Government schoo;s - once upon a time all schools were privately owned - also Ms Paterson is correct that government schools are incubators for socialism; "JEBNYC did not and could not explain why taxpayers must pay for her children "education"
2- Highways Before 1890 all highways were privately owned - what's wrong with private road we were not told;
3- Prior to 1930 the US Government was prohibited from taxing Americans to financially support "public housing and public assistance" JEBNYC , no doubt a professional PARASITE does not see a problem with that
4- Libertarians are NOT conservatives so we are not worried about " who marries who, what damn gender someone "identifies with",
5- teenagers - by definition they are not adults ; they don't belong to the government - I submit that the problem would immediately disappear if governmet schools are abolished . What information should be shared with children is the province of their parents -
Wake up Scarlett, he has been a traitor since day one. Always in it for the money his son is just like him! a greedy sell out with fetishes. In his career he has been wrong every time. Now that he has declared his loyalty to China and the highest bidder no one can experience a nice safe day. Please do honest research. You are all wrong on this one.
I’m an almost 70 yo and believe she is very deserving of the accolades she receives. She uses her fame to enable others. She doesn’t appear selfish in any way but rather compassionate, a feminist and a progressive, but doesn’t accept bs even from her father. While I don’t follow her music, I am a musician and appreciate what she brings to her followers.
Interesting. But it assumes that marriage and motherhood puts an end to creativity. As a mother and grandmother I disagree. I look forward to how Taylor redefines those outdated stereotypes as well.
Taylor Swift is amazing. She could have stayed home and made raspberry jam. She’d still be amazing. She could have been a nurse or a teacher or an architect or had four kids. She’d still be amazing. For all you plebs that are jealous of her. You’re wasting your time.
You wouldn’t be the same guy who defected from the USSR KGB officer in the early '60s. If your then you have aged well, my guess is you are over a 100 years Old
Exactly what I was thinking, too. I do enough to avoid the hoopla surrounding her, I prefer my own sphere stay clear of celebrity idol worshipping... what I find fascinating is those who defend her against those who dislike her, for whatever reason. Weird. Pretty sure there are more important things to think and fixate on.
The defense is wild lol. As if liking Taylor is somehow the litmus test for morality, despite the fact that this is the same Taylor dragged in 2014 for cultural appropriation and perpetuation of harmful stereotypes, particularly against black women. Far from a "God", I'd say.
I agree. I pay so little attention (until it's cast upon me like this morning's email was) I was unaware of the 2014 thing - makes the worship even more yuck. She fails my litmus test miserably.
I would rather talk about Taylor Swift than ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE DEATH CULT! I’ve participated by buying her albums and listening to her! She is real! Unlike the orange Cheeto!
She must hate herself for being so white I'm surprised we haven't heard from the DEI crowd about her whiteness...I guess her politics are correct and therefore she is immune ;-()
I read all the articles and love her even more. She cares about people, her country, those less fortunate than her, voting, cats, etc. plus she has a great vocabulary which she uses in her music. She loves variety and uses it well. Many of her pieces have a hip hop vibe. Long live and her positive influence on America.
The problem with some of these trolls is they don’t understand her above average intelligence and word choices in her lyrics. They resonate with powerful educated women that believe in equal rights and protections for women. Obviously, she threatens weak men. Patriarchy is over fellas!!!

Not true. You are just an ole fart like me. She is as big as the Beatles and Elvis.
Honestly thanks for this

😂😂😂
Help with what????
So if they can't read, why post this????? So silly Karen
Gosh, you are a dolt!
Again the fact she is so rich seems so important to you!
Remember this chasing of obscene amounts of wealth is what has caused the biggest inequality in society

Not hating just facting.

So much BS so little time:
In 1943 Libertarian Isabel Paterson objected to government schools because the same created a zombified populace , please see The God of the Machine

'nuff said
I agree, we need to end the hate.
BTW - I'm highly educated and professionally successful.
I voted for trump because Biden is a vegetable. Who pulls the puppet strings?
Everyone has gone blind.
Those who preach peace and spread hate are an enemy to civilization.
All you have are insults. I pity you and those that follow you. You have lost your way.

No proof of any wrongdoing by president Biden, you can't tarnish the father because of his son's wrongdoing!
The feather has been tarnished, like father like son. Fact!
The media covers for him and his handler Obama
Why would u report someone??? Seriously....just for not agreeing with you??? Thats kind of a petty move
Oh boy, I’m scared of your social media powers.. good luck with your Eternity! Praying for you!

Keep drinkin' the coolaid
*kool-aid
Read her goals about Revenge.. get a clue..
🤢🤢🤢
Gee, why are so many of your posts about Taylor written by men? Have you learned NOTHING?!
Peachy Keenan is a talented female writer, published author, and Substack bestseller. She wrote a nice post on Taylor: https://peachykeenan.substack.com/p/money-power-glory-love?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2

She inspires us !!

Exactly. Fragile egos!!!!
Lol def a little weird don’t u think?!
It was probably a man who selected them.
no one made you do this
Lol that's all I could think while reading this. I didn't ask for this in my inbox this morning.

Me neither, but scrolling all of the comments down here is quite something 🍿
Post starts with "We know, we know. You are sick of reading about Taylor Swift"
Yep...so why continue and push this into my inbox?
Bye Substack Reads! P.S. I'm still waiting for all the innovation you've been promising....
I'm so sick of this person, who really cares what she does.
I would rather talk about Taylor Swift than ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE DEATH CULT! I’ve participated by buying her albums and listening to her! She is real! Unlike the orange Cheeto!

Really man, that’s what you think…🤢
Good luck with your Eternity 🔥🔥🔥 with your peeps
Also, the inimitable Anne Helen Petersen: https://annehelen.substack.com/p/taylor-swift-and-the-good-girl-trap
Thanks for sharing this one Valerie!
Soooo good @sophia!
I'm not sick of reading about, hearing about, or seeing Taylor Swift.
I admire her talent, and normalicy. A worldwide superstar maintaining their normalicy during a miraculous career is no easy task. Good on you Taylor.
As a political junkie I really appreciate the analysis on the Taylor Swift and Joni Mitchell impact by Ari Melber.
Taylor Who?
I read all the articles and love her even more. She cares about people, her country, those less fortunate than her, voting, cats, etc. plus she has a great vocabulary which she uses in her music. She loves variety and uses it well. Many of her pieces have a hip hop vibe. Long live and her positive influence on America.
The problem with some of these trolls is they don’t understand her above average intelligence and word choices in her lyrics. They resonate with powerful educated women that believe in equal rights and protections for women. Obviously, she threatens weak men. Patriarchy is over fellas!!!
Where is the dislike button?
You're quite the hater, aren't you? No surprise - funny how so many others use their full name.
My own podcast about Taylor Swift is the story of my appreciation for her music and songwriting following the initial indifference. https://scottholleran.substack.com/p/podcast-taylor-swift-as-woman-of
