#filthy rich celeb who has limited socialisation due to their fame: *acts out of touch*

[heung-mins]

hi bestie!! sorry i had this discussion with my friend earlier today and then i went on a rant to u bc i was lowkey trying to figure it out in my own brain lmao. oooh thee song to daydream too was fifteen OR begin again but i feel like it was more pure imagery?? like her songwriting would never be my experiences so that’s why they were so good to daydream to??? idk

ig by white feminism, it’s just very stereotypical things she says and does without actually being v vocal about issues?? take for example that whole girlboss clique of the 2010s or the shake it off music video where it felt heavily like cultural appropriation or her line in all too well (10min version) “and you were tossing me the car keys ‘fuck the patriarchy’ key chain on the ground” where she’s highlighting the how the guy she’s dating calls himself a feminist but is treating her like shit (fuck jake gyllenhall btw), yet she then goes on to sell those same “fuck the patriarchy” key chains for like £30… it just feels out of touch???

maybe i’m just overanalysing and being over critical (blame my stupid humanities brain) but she was called was like the first-ever recipient of Billboard’s Woman of the Year award in 2019, that whole thing she had with nicki minaj (also ew now) where nicki spoke up about how black women in the music industry are undervalued and taylor immediately jumped in and told her to stop pitting women against each other, and probs various other incidents that i’m forgetting

look i love her music, and i think when certain lyrics and songs have a hold on you, i don’t think it really can ever go away - i just find her a weird character. i feel like as a woc fan i have to preface every time i say i’m a fan of her by going “look i know she’s been kinda problematic but…..”

then again isn’t that how every celebrity is nowadays?? am i expecting too much of a 30 year old pop star who at the end of the day, will never be affected by this???

(again u don’t have to have any answer i’m just rambling at this point hahaha, thank u for listening to my rant) ❤️❤️❤️❤️

me psychoanalysing taylor swift with my beloved anon <3

thanks for explaining what u mean by 'white feminism'! personally i feel like it's more of a class thing? as u mentioned she's rich (which makes me wonder how much "protection" wealth provides women. like to what extent does being filthy rich shield u from sexism?). anyway, i did not know that she sells those overpriced key chains (i must be honest, it is giving me 2014 indie etsy shop vibes). shout out to her for calling out male feminists tho <3

i get the impression that especially female celebs are unintentionally put on pedestals by their fans (i myself am guilty of this). maybe taylor is trying her best to genuinely be [some kind of] feminist, but like the rest of us she regularly makes mistakes? not to b deep but like all human beings have flaws, every day we are growing and changing etc. however, wouldn't it be rather naive of me to make that assumption as she is one of the biggest pop stars in the entire world - surely the things she says publicly (especially about potentially"sensitive" or "political" topics) must be approved by a PR agency?

or maybe it's a combination of these aspects? she cares about feminist issues as she is affected by misogyny (especially as a woman in the music industry) even tho she's rich, but uses 2014 pop feminism to appeal to her fans and sell merch? i guess u could argue i this is right or wrong, but like she has an entire marketing team behind her. how many of these ideas are even her own (i.e. the 2014 etsy keychain)? i def think there's a difference between taylor swift the person and taylor swift the brand.

to be 100% honest if someone was like 'i'm a fan of taylor swift and i know she's problematic but...' i would be like huh?? maybe it's because i live in northern europe or something but i believe women, especially woc, are allowed to have their problematic faves in peace 😤 t swift isn't even that problematic imo so i hope u don't feel "bad" or guilty for liking her!
