#sorry to my swiftie mutuals…

[jennfercheck]

sometimes i think about how crazy it is that people on the internet (sw*fties) bullied olivia rodrigo (a 17/18 yr old at the time) into giving song credits to taylor and paramore for writing music that was inspired by them as if that’s not what art is at its core… all art is inspired by other art!!! you cannot find “originality” in art because it is almost always an amalgamation of other styles that the artist was so moved by that they had to create their own. but god forbid a young girl emulate a sound she grew up listening to

Taylor Swift demands Jack Sweeney stop tracking her jet - The Washington Post (archive.org)

This honestly does it for me. After all the TS oversaturation the past year (and yes, I did enjoy Eras and supported her music until Midnights; Lord knows I've listened to her since I was a preteen), I'm surrendering my [casual] Swiftie card. I've tried to like her as a person/brand (brand is the better word) but now I cannot dissociate her image from her music anymore (I can't "kill" the artist from the art anymore).

How she straight-up acted in the Grammys (the Celine snub then PR cleanup, making the awards show all about her, the strategic announcement of TPD, I could go on objectively but yeah) might just be the tipping point already. And who am I, right? What's one less listener? What's one less woman who denounces TS's white feminism and performative/selective activism?

I've ignored the M*tt H**ly debacle, the Ice Spice tokenization, the Olivia Rodrigo royalties issue which I knew against my will, the Person of the Year hot water, the brat pack upgrade featuring Republican Lana Del Rey, the 'self-made' origins myth debunked, the rubbing elbows with Mahomes, the ever-growing rabid fanbase out for blood, and so on, so on.

As a person of color I just want these things out. If 'feminism' is enabling this billionaire to get away with her crimes (yes, she's a climate criminal now for me, what with using her jet as a taxi to see her newest boytoy across the globe), then I'm not seated. If 'feminism' is shrugging off her response or lack of action towards the fan, Ana Clara, who died in the Brazil leg of the tour, then I am speaking now.

I guess, it's finally been exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero.

everytime someone calls taylor swifts music rock an angel loses its wings

[chinzhilla]

every time i see a taylor swift song used in a queer-themed edit i lose a year off my life

[farmlesbians]

no muna or boygenius on the taylor album i am free for another day thank god

[touchlikethesun]

i long for the day when it is not controversial to say that ts is a republican that acts purely for monetary gain and to uphold the status quo. her winning person of the year is the last nail in the coffin, if any doubt remained. convincing thousands if not millions of people that ts and her ‘politics’ are progressive is one of the smartest moves the man made so far this century. literally get your fucking bread and circuses everyone.

i cant find it but i once saw a post of that one video thats like What yalls mental illness povs look like: Im insanneee Im crazyyyyy .Insaaaane . Aslyum . but it was edited to be in the style of an old timey movie like it had a black and white filter over it and stuff . anyway thats what taylor swift fans posting about the new album look like to me

[obrother1976]

Tbh I think embarrassingly often about the concept of "what if McLennon but girls". Something about the hot-headed troublemaker with intimacy issues and the well-intentioned but painfully stubborn Little Miss Perfect. I know there's gotta be a yuri equivalent to them somewhere

we need more rpf yuri fr. women have already perfected the art of having the most insane homoerotic breakups w their best friends, now we just need to capitalize on that (write rpf).

like GENUINELY if she just credited Patrick as a solo artist (which has precedent? Hayley used to not take a solo credit on features until she did solo work. Patrick has done solo work outside of FOB so like-) I wouldn't even be salty about it it's just that she credited Fall Out Boy but none of them were even involved except Patrick. like what's up with that?

[rollercoasterwords]
