deeply refreshing to see someone critical of Swift who also like, genuinely likes her. Like i'm neutral to positive on her, but the online discourse has been absolutely rancid. flipping between "Taylor Swift has never done anything wrong ever and she's a fucking genius" and "Taylor Swift is the worst lyricist of all time and also a bad person" is exhausting, so thank you for like. nuance or something lmao
not to make it serious for a sec but i genuinely think that being able to like things that are bad is really important. like I think that it's an important skill to be able to look at something and see what you personally enjoy about it and then take a step back and acknowledge that objectively it's flawed. and to also be able to acknowledge that liking something isn't necessarily an identity or a moral stance. and i think that fandom space in general could really benefit from more people taking the time to learn how to do that. it's okay to like things that are bad
#people ask me sometimes why ill occasionally talk about something i like and then go 'but it's bad' and the answer is usually because it is#i love teen wolf. i love genshin impact. i love detective conan. and i fucking LOVE taylor swift. that doesnt mean theyre good#it just means i like them. and recognizing their flaws actually helps me better identify what i like about them!#it's like. in my mind bad > good is the x axis and i like it > i dont like it is the y axis yk. they're not mutually exclusive#tldr it's not that serious. we can all relax a little#irt taylor swift i do also think she has done some real harm to her fans in enabling them to deflect all criticism of her as misogyny#and i don't think it's fully the fault of these people who are parroting that response bc so much of her marketing has deliberately#reinforced this idea that to be a swiftie is to be a part of a sisterhood and that any attack on taylor is an attack on all of those women#who are in that in-group. when that's obviously not the case. but she's marketed herself as. for lack of a better term. 'girl music'#to the point where it makes her fans feel as though any criticism of the music or the woman responsible for it is an attack on their#personal experience of womanhood/girlhood/sisterhood/etc. and that's how you get all of thess bad-faith accusations of misogyny#i don't necessarily think this was her deliberate goal with her marketing tho because like. on first glance such a strong sense of communit#among fans sounds like a great thing. the friendship bracelets i got at the eras tour movie are really genuinely special to me.#but it does present a problem when your fans are unable to separate how they feel about the community and experience your music has fostere#from how they feel about you as a person. especially when you are a billionaire who absolutely CANNOT be above criticism in this economy#anyway. tldr i love taylor's music and i don't think swiftie hivemind is as deliberately malicious as it may seem#but it's obviously necessary to be able to take a step back and look objectively at what you're participating in.#anyway stream ttpd or don't idc <3#taylor swift

Cianna, is it so bad that I love Taylor's music? Can we stop hating people for what they love, what (for some people atleast) literally gives them the strength to live? Yes she has been celebrated way too much, but don't you think there's a reason behind it?
Have you heard of something called a personal opinion. Why do you need some random girl’s validation on Tumblr. Why not just enjoy her music despite opposing takes

I think we should get Trump to talk shit about Taylor Swift
Because honestly I have more faith in the Swifties actually shooting him than the rest of ye

deeply loving something or someone does not equal (≠) worshipping something. connecting with an artist’s body of work does not equal (≠) being invested in a celebrity for no reason besides their fame and power and money. hope this helps.

Putting out multiple versions of one album so you can break charts records and block other women is insane

Tyler the creator, should have left that one alone. "Swifties are bringing up old shit." yeah my dude, you have lyrics talking about rape.

"Oh Taylor is allowed to have friends with different opinions"/"We can be friends with people who have different opinions" sure but that applies on pizza flavors, tv shows but not on human rights. like be fucking for real. this is a woman who went on record about being on the right side of history and speaking against trump and now is hugging the trump supporter. once again i ask you people. be fucking for real

NEW MITSKI ALBUM POTENTIAL TEASE?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
HEAR ME OUT
ok so i might be loosing it but listen.
mitski released Laurel hell on 2/4/2022, and 534 days later (7/23/23) she announced the land is inhospitable and so are we. she then released TLIIASAW on 9/15/2023. she just posted on Instagram saying that the shop will be down on Feb 7th 2025. This happened before she teased/announced both Laurel hell and the land. 9/15/23 to 02/07/2025 is 511 days. she spoke when Laurel hell was released that she was going to make a few more albums before she retired, she also typically takes the store down a few weeks before the announcement is made. I think she will take the store down and then announce a new album on or around March 1st 2025. (533 days after the release of the land.) I am lowkey rambling but if this happens i will get another mitski song tattooed on me to celebrate. (I HOPE OT DOES)
thank u for coming to my ted talk
ALSO PEEP ME PREDICTING IT IF IT DOES HAPPEN

yk what just kinda frustrates me a bit? it’s that whenever someone hates on taylor swift, i need to defend her, not bc i think she can do no wrong ever, but because they always choose the wrong things to criticize.
like if someone tries to say shit abt the i hate it here 1830s lyric to me? i’m obligated to point out that uh no it’s not racist, literally look at the next fucking line, you idiot. she’s saying the exact opposite of what you’re implying. nostalgia is a mind’s trap.
and if someone tries to call her a climate terrorist, then i’m going to have to point out that yes, she uses a private plane a lot, but she’s not even in the top 30 of celebs with highest carbon emissions. if you really want to criticize a celebrity and not the huge factories/companies that are polluting the air, then focus on travis scott
but like?? you could literally choose any argument that doesn’t have to do with literal false information. or better yet, you don’t even need a reason! say you don’t vibe with her music and that is literally none of my business. good for you. enjoy whatever music you like. but don’t try and put yourself on this moral pedestal for hating on this musician who doesn’t even know you exist and let me listen to the grand theft auto lyric in peace.

I can fully acknowledge this is likely me being defensive, but while I completely get wanting to reevaluate your relationship to taylor, the fanbase etc and to come to terms with the fact that taylor is not a perfect person, some of y'all are getting a little too pretentious about it for my liking
