#swiftie twitter is making me upset :(

I wasn’t on tumblr when Taylor was, what happened with the fanbase?

Short answer: this fandom was insufferable.

Long answer (I did not mean for it to be this long):

There were 2 sides of the fandom: the "I love Taylor Swift and want to interact with other swifties" side and the "I love Taylor Swift and want to interact with her" side. Taylor's presence on tumblr started out so genuine!! She would get to know people and act like another fandom member, but then people found out how to game the system. People would buy as much merch as possible, take selfies in it, tag @taylorswift @taylornation in every single post, and self reblog it like 100 times in a row. And Taylor would see the posts and be like "thanks for supporting me! You are so cute!" And would like the posts.

This created an economy with 3 currencies: Taylor likes, Taylor reblogs, and Taylor follows. Most peoples bio included "Taylor liked ×23. Taylor reblogged ×1. Taylor follows." If your bio had a "Taylor follows" people would regularly ask you to reblog their posts for Taylor to see (what a superiority complex that must have caused). This eventually cumulated into "group blogs". These blogs would make their entire purpose to support each other and other swifties (jk they just pretended that part). It was made of people with Taylor follows who would solely self reblog selfies of them and their friends in Taylor merch. They also reblogged "tour posts" which is when people would wear costumes relating to Taylor's lyrics that were extra enough for Taylor to want to meet them. The entire fandom was built on the idea of being noticed by Taylor.

This became extremely toxic. Your friend keeps getting Taylor likes but Taylor hasn't liked your posts since she followed you. You are upset. I had friends get Taylor follows and no longer need me to hype them up so they unfollowed me. The purpose of fandom was not to join together to celebrate Taylor, but to pretend to support each other to push yourself to the top and get the most attention.

Okay, let's say you find this so dumb. You unfollow everyone who self reblogs and is obnoxious. Problem fixed, right? No. Somehow, all your relatively normal mutuals and people you follow are still getting sent tour posts to reblog because Taylor follows them. You follow Taylor and she is reblogging chain posts and the entire post is "don't read the last page but I stay @taylorswift @taylornation " reblogged 100 times with different selfies attached. You are a dedicated member of the fandom and make many popular posts. Your friends hype you up. You go to your show in an elaborate costume because it sounds fun. Taylor never sees it but she meets the person from a group blog who reblogged their selfie 457 times. That person quits tumblr a week later. 3 months later they are trash talking Taylor and tumblr swifties from the safety of twitter. Also a lot of these people were problematic (they are using fellow swifties as stepping stones so this tracks) so there is SO MUCH fandom drama related to people being problematic. No matter what you do, you cannot escape it.

Okay so eventually someone changes their post that Taylor liked to be a message to Taylor to take action on BLM. Taylor had been pulled into too many directions by the fandom and was starting to work on folklore while being on tumblr less. She goes offline. All the self rebloggers leave. The fandom finally chills out and returns to what it once was. However, to this day swifties still say "I miss Taylor and I wish she would come back to tumblr"

talking about taylor media coverage in brazil, a few days ago, before she got here, a journalist publish an article with the following headline: “taylor swift doesn’t have a great voice and her melodies aren’t interesting; why, then, is she so popular”. as one can imagine, swifties got extremely upset and harassed the journalist.

now, there’s an article about taylor’s carbon emissions with her private jet. (and swifties from other countries are being racist/xenophobic, who would’ve thought?)*

so i have a feeling her new reputation won’t go away as easy as the first time.

*i have to give credit where credit is due: brazilian swifties with big fan pages have been fighting racist accounts for a few days, but this is something no one else outside of brazil will care or mention.

The way swifties in general are eating up that big brazilian swiftie account on twitter makes me sick to my stomach. It’s like they've gotten an open excuse to be racist and xenophobic towards anyone who's from brazil

The Ninja ft. Their musical preferences/hcs

Here are my hcs on what type of music each ninja prefers, plus a few extra bits!!

Enjoy hehe

Kai

You'll never find someone who loves rap more than him

His favourite song is Candy Shop and he uses its audio to all the thirst traps he makes 😭

(Yes I hc that he makes thirst traps)

He had a phase where he listened to Pass Out by Tinie Tempah on repeat

He got so embarrassed because he got caught singing along to the Boy's a Liar pt 2

Jay didn't let him live it down for like a week

Other than rap he likes the songs I Love You Hoe, Narcissistic Personality Disorder

Cole introduced those songs to him

He definitely uses the rose gold Beats headphones

Skylor borrows them all the time

Jay

Kpop. Just Kpop.

He legit forced Nya to go out to get the BTS meal with him

Lit by Oneus used to be his favourite song, now it's The Feels by Twice

He HATES Stray Kids

He stans BTS, Twice, Dreamcatcher and NCT

If not Kpop, then The Weekend

Stargirl Interlude>>

Him and Cole woke everybody up singing this song at the top of their lungs at like 2AM

He sings into Nya's hairbrush

When he's feeling extra romantic and confident he'll sing "I just wanna see you shine, because I know you are a stargirl" to Nya

He sounds terrible but she loves it

He owns a bunch of lightsticks

A proud photocards collector

Bash any if his favourite artists on twitter/chirp and he won't hold back. Trust me.

When The Feels was first released he cried like a baby because that day they had a mission and he couldn't find his airpods

The poor boy was so upset he couldn't listen to it but Cole offered his headphones to him

He broke them and Cole nearly smashed his face in but dw Zane fixed it because he's wonderful

Zane

Zane loves classical music, he taught himself to play the violin and he plays it for Pixal in their free time

Classical is his favourite genre, but he's an all-rounder

He doesn't listen to music much so he just has one playlist with a bunch of completely different songs

Loves a bit of Florence + The Machine

Pixal introduced her songs to him

He has so many favourites in the classical genre but outside of it his favourite song is probably Spectrum by Florence + The Machine

He and Pixal dance to the song 2002

It's her favourite song and whenever they go on dates Zane makes sure to play it when they're driving back home afterwards

Cole

He's probably going deaf bc his headphones are on like 24/7 (I also forgot to mention he's a DJ in my Cole hcs)

His headphones are personalised

Evolved from a nightcore kid to a slowed + reverb teen/young adult

The others sometimes spy on him while he's singing to the music when he's alone, because he'll never sing in front of anyone and his voice is angelic

His favourite songs are #brooklynbloodpop and Am I Dreaming (from atsv), but dw he's got WAY more favourites

Fluxxwave, CRYSTALS, Luxxid Diamondz, Kurxxed Emeraldz, yeah those type of songs but slowed + reverb

He loves some soft rock aswell

Slowed songs bring out his romantic side, you'll definitely find him sitting by a window while he's blasting the slowed version of What Do You Mean into his ears

Or you'll come across him laying on his bed with his eyes closed, you can hear the slowed Cruel Summer by Taylor Swift from his headpones even though you're literally at the door

Thats how loud it is

AC/DC>>>> HE LOVES THIS BAND SM HE COULD TALK ABT IT FOR HOURS

He owns a bunch of their merch as well

Nya

SZA FOR LIFEEEE

All The Stars and Good Days>>>>

You can hear SZA songs coming from her room all the time and everyone gets sick of it

Obsessed with Rihanna songs as well

OH NA NA WHATS MY NAMEEE

ahem anyways

She loves it when Jay sings to her even though he sounds like a dying cat

MARINA. SHE LOVES MARINA.

The family jewels, How to be a heartbreaker, Hermit the frog, she could go on and on

Also PinkPantheress>>

It's rare, but she sings along to her songs sometimes and her voice is actually beautiful

Lloyd

ONE OF THE BIGGEST SWIFTIES IN ALL OF NINJAGO

Like 75% of his main playlist is just Taylor Swift

Molly (forgotten remix) is his favourite song

He loves going out on drives late at night while blasting this song out of the speakers

He's almost as bad as Cole, he plugs in his ears with his earphones literally all the time but doesn't play music that loud

Style by Taylor Swift>>>>

Argues with Cole about whether it should be"He looks so pretty like the devil" or "He looks up grinning like a devil" from Cruel Summer

He thinks it's the first one

He also loves Middle by DJ Snake

He used to listen to Galantis a lot but Kai bullied him for it

(Little does he know Kai used to sing Runaway (U and I) in the shower almost everyday)

That is all! So sorry that these are all so random 😭

Their music tastes are really messy and chaotic just like them hehe

I hope yall enjoyed this though 🤭

[daenerys-targaryen]

This ratty stuff has me so depressed. Taylor's music really saved me and now she has abandoned me. I don’t know what to do. I feel like she tricked me.

I am so so so sorry you feel this way. I feel sickened too and I know it's a trillion times worse for those in communities far more affected, but I'm still quite upset about it as well. I can't stop thinking about that one tiktok that said "Taylor Swift is dating a racist, we finally have a legit reason to hate on her" with over 200k likes and I'm just like... She's at an all time peak in her career and she's going to let herself be associated so publicly and intimately with someone who's said and done so many things she's publicly spoken out against? I keep trying to rationalize it in my head because that's just how my mind works and I just can't believe this is where we are right now. I saw someone on twitter today brag that they don't care who Taylor dates and are a better fan because so and it made me so upset because of course you, who clearly aren't targeted by any of his words, wouldn't find anything he's done offensive and can turn a blind eye to the fact that she's dating him. I can't imagine what it's like to be directly hurt from these things I saw someone on twitter say that they don't feel safe going to a concert where he could possibly show up because of the comments he's made about black women and that rattled me so much and made me so upset to think about but it's totally valid! I think that people who are saying that they don't care who Taylor dates and are trying to seem superior with that mindset actually just don't care about other people, not even their fellow swifties and that makes me tremendously sad as well. I never thought we'd be here everything is so much and I just wish it was march 17th 2023.

[lcndonboysstuff]

A humble ask to anons to please not send tweets in from unhinged Swifties where they are making up lies and saying horrible things about Joe. It’s kind of upsetting. He’s made peace that this is how they are always going to act, I would like to as well. I’m sure many of us would.

ok i totally agree with this! in the nicest way possible please do not send tweets like that cuz i do genuinely find them upsetting and i hate that other people can have that affect on me, that’s why i avoid that side of twitter all together.

i actually only opened that link because i thought maybe it wasn’t about joe. the wording had me thinking it might be about travis/matty.

[magxit]

apparently Taylor needs to go see her therapist because she needs help to work through these feelings or she is going to have a menty b. I hate that phrase by the way.

Yesss I cannot stand the way so many are talking about Taylor's mental health. It just feels very belittling and Taylor may not see it, but a lot of other people will. Idk if I should say this and I understand if you don't want to post if I mention this but...

I feel like a certain blog is pushing this so hard that it's infected nearly all of swiftie tumblr, except a couple of blogs like yours or the gaylor/kaylors. There's a difference between recognizing Taylor might be feeling sad at times as humans do, and zeroing in on any moment where you think she looks sad or upset and talking about it endlessly. No matter how many times a lot of these swifties say they just want to give her a hug, it partially feels less like empathy and more like reveling in the prospect of her sadness. It's just getting exhausting and demoralizing and it's making me not want to be here in the fandom.

I have had to unfollow a lot of people on twitter because of the way they were talking. It is funny how some people will play up certain topics on tumblr but won’t discuss the same topic on twitter. Maybe because they know it is a ridiculous thing to be discussing to begin with.

[tayfabe75]

your thoughts on the leaked collab on Slut well the lyrics at least the vocals not leaked. See Itsthebml on TikTok and it appears that it’s not fake as Target is pulling all the tangerine versions of vinyl from stores

My preemptive apologies, as brevity is not my forte… and I have many, many thoughts about this leak!

On authenticity:

There have been enough separate instances of people posting clear photos (1, 2, 3) of the lyrics and credits for the "Slut!" collaboration, that I lean toward it being real. And, when it comes to things like this in the realm of Taylor Swift, I'm more inclined to believe that "nothing is accidental" and that a mistake this significant wouldn't make it to shelves at all (while that might be giving Taylor too much credit, I spent most of my life never giving her enough credit (new fan!) and I have since amended my ways) Indeed, it is very strange that Target pulled the vinyl from its website, perhaps lending further credence to the leak's authenticity.

Another thing to consider when it comes to authenticity is - who would fake this and why? There are a few ways I'd categorize 75 fans & Swifties. You have:

Fans of one or the other who just want new music and are open to a collab with whoever (likely don't care enough to fake it)

Fans of both who would probably like the collab but aren't super invested (likely don't care enough to fake it)

Fans of both who are sad about the implications of a pulled collab (unlikely to create something like this without specifying it was wish fulfillment)

Fans of one who hate the other artist, their fans, and anyone who supports the union (bingo!)

So, even though there are like, a hundred 'Maylors', tops, the people we annoy get great satisfaction from attempting to emotionally wound us. I know from experience lol So, since I have had the extreme displeasure of speaking with some of them, I'm not sure they have the wits about them to make a convincing argument, let alone convincing 1989 album art (graphic design, especially a recreation like that, can be a pretty tedious and complicated process - this I know from experience) but you never know! Unfortunately for all of us, hate can be quite a motivator, and if human history is any indication, the sky's the limit!

Apart from that, though, there are so few people who have any incentive to fake this two months later. Now, the alleged audio leak is another story. Since the 'anti-Maylor' crowd has now seen how upset we were and no doubt reveled in our misfortune, I could easily imagine them whipping up an AI version to bait us so they could point and laugh. I have heard the alleged leaked audio - and while it sounds like Matty's voice, something seems a bit off to me. Considering Brad Troemel has a full AI report coming in a matter of days, I am keeping my defenses up!

For what it's worth, I believe that I hear Matty's voice accompanying Taylor on the last line of "Slut!", on just the word "drunk". Someone then found or made stems for arguably clearer audio. To me, it still sounds like Matty (perhaps wishful thinking), but the user who found this audio thought it didn't sound like him. Figured I'd share both opinions and links and see what you think!

On why we didn't and might not get it:

I was shocked that, when the leak happened, most of Twitter seemed to have one of two takes: 1) "Matty ruined this for Taylor and what a no-good bad horrible man, just like we said!" and 2)" Taylor and Matty are immature children who can't speak like adults and need to grow up."

Genuinely, I couldn't and still can't quite comprehend how anyone came to those conclusions based on what happened in May, or that these were the widely accepted takes. There was a whole campaign by Taylor's fans to get her to break up with him, as well as a media storm (including social media) that did everything imaginable to demonize Matty, right down to choosing the most unflattering photos of him for every article. Speaking of AI, does anyone happen to remember the disturbing AI images depicting Matty's death with Taylor standing happily over his body? My god. Absolutely shameful behavior. And that was as late as October, you know, the same month 1989 released. All because of Matty's involvement in two relatively offensive jokes in February that were apologized for. I truly pity anyone who harbors that level of irrational hatred.

I've said that, at this point, releasing the collab would be like giving your dog a treat for peeing on your favorite Cardigan. So, while I've never wanted to listen to a single song more than that one, I am at least happy that it was (most likely) real! It means we weren't reading the signs incorrectly, and that the collaboration was for 1989, as foreshadowed by both artists (1, 2). The pair co-writing a song called "Slut!" has much wider implications about the muse of 1989 (who is often perceived to be one singular entity - judging by the linear nature of the album's liner notes and perhaps even confirmed by Taylor, herself, with a like).

Lastly, I'll say this: Taylor has several songs in her catalog that seem cyclical ('Love Story', for instance), and "Slut!" feels like one of those songs to me. We'll see!

Thank you for the question!

[tolerateit]

meg!! can i just rant :((

i saw some swifties complaining they’re on the east coast so they need to stay up late to catch a livestream but i am in south africa! i need to wake up at 4am! and taylor never even will come here! it’s just making me upset :(

of course you can bestie, i feel you :( a lot of international fans will be waking up or staying up late at odd hours to catch updates of the tour via twitter/tumblr and I'm excited bc ik tumblr is a wonderful place during tour season, but the fact that im probably not gonna see her live is :(((( the only thing i can say is that I'm so excited for my mutuals who are getting a chance to see her!!! living vicariously through them rn <3

Dylan O'Brien's new problematic girlfriend Rachael Lange (2023) I Part 2

Part 1 I Part 3 I Part 4

Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse…. more disturbing things came to light.

Taylor Swift, Harry Styles & Selena Gomez

Everyone knows Dylan is a Swiftie and also starred in Taylor's "All Too Well: The Short Film" and they have also been friends for a couple years now. Let's see what Rachael thinks of Taylor:

Interesting... because back in 2011 she claimed to be a Swiftie. 🙃 Rachael (2nd from the left) with friends at what seems to be a Taylor Swift concert. The caption of the pic that one of her friends shared (fb): "Taylor Swift! Never grow up…stay this little.."

Dylan is also a fan of Harry Styles.

And many years ago Dylan used to have a crush on Selena Gomez.

After Rachael got exposed:

She went private on Twitter and deleted over 400+ Tweets (which is already an insane number) but yet still hasn't managed to delete all problematic ones 🤦‍♀️

Blocked those who called her out on all her social media accounts

Deleted the Instagram post (she had during that time) where everyone commented and called her out

Restricted the comments on all her Instagram accounts so only the ones who follow her can comment now

She also censors the comments, only those comments that praise her and whatnot are accepted to show up in the comments

Untagged herself from all the posts she was tagged in where you can see her with Dylan at the Ami Paris Fashion Week Show

Rachael deleted this video after she got backlash for it

Deleted the TikTok video where she was called out but forgot to delete the comments on her other videos

Deactivated her TikTok account but made it public again recently

The Apology

January 23, 2023 After doing all these things to hide what she did/said in the past she posted this Apology on her Twitter (obviously it had to be shared there bc that's where it happened) but it was also good enough for her to share it in a 24h TikTok Story.

You probably ask yourself why are people still upset about it. She apologized and everything is okay now. No not really because she never shared it on her Instagram account where her most followers are and obviously people also called her out on there too and not just on Twitter and TikTok. And let's be honest after all those things she said more than just that apology should have been done. So if that doesn't speak volumes... And not to forget all those marginalized communities she offended and hurt by those words. Do you really think they will be like: "She was young and didn't know better.", "Now she apologized. Just let us brush it under the rug." Even if you're not someone from those communities just take some time to think about how you would feel if you were in their position. Doesn't feel great right? So don't expect them to just accept that apology and forget about what she said. It doesn't matter what age you are. There never was and never will be a time when it's okay to say any of those things. So many other people in that age know that this is wrong and never did. So please stop defending her. She was old enough to know saying these things is wrong but kept doing it anyway. Was that apology (if she even wrote that herself or got somebody else to do it for her) genuine or not? That's up to you to decide and if you accept that or not. Everyone thinks differently about this and has a different opinion.

But think about this. What does it tell you about a person who:

After being exposed was like: "Oh no. Wait let me quickly go private on Twitter to try to remove all of that so no one can hold that against me anymore." (Screenshots exist for a reason so that didn't make things better for you or made ppl forget that js).

Again never shared that apology on her Instagram, the place with her most followers

Waited until things cooled off and didn't post anything until like a month later and came back with a post to make promo for her brand (Seriously!?! You've got to be kidding me). 🤦‍♀️

You would think someone who said all those things would do more to prove to people that they changed especially after that big amount of disgusting things. But what is Rachael doing? She keeps ignoring the elephant in the room and went back to regularly posting as if nothing happened. And remember that part where she untagged herself from posts about her and Dylan? Well.... the more and more she felt safe and made people think she changed the more she made their relationship public on her Instagram. While (as always) keeps ignoring the fact that this is damaging her & her boyfriend's reputation/image even more thanks to all those things that came out about her. How? Read that here

And as if all of that hasn't been bad enough already. They also found these:

TikTok

Rachael posted this video on her TikTok account back in 2021.

The girlfriend called a friend to pick her up, but when the friend arrived, Lange allegedly threatened them both with a handgun.

[ts1989fanatic]

In Dear Diary, the National Post satirically re-imagines a week in the life of a newsmaker. This week, Tyler Dawson takes a journey inside the thoughts of singer Taylor Swift.

Monday

This is pretty exciting! The new tour is going well. Fans are enthusiastic. I get to go to sleep every night atop a mattress padded out with dollar bills.

Swifties are the best fans around, and I can’t wait to tell everyone where I’ll be performing next on the Eras Tour. It’s a good life, travelling around, performing before adoring crowds.

I know I sing in Anti-Hero that I’m the problem, but, really, all I do is make people happy.

Tuesday

I just announced where I’m headed. Twenty-six new cities.

Everyone’s going to love it, I’m sure. It occurs to me now that there would’ve been some nice poetry if it had been 22 cities, instead of 26. Although at age 33, sometimes I feel weird singing that particular song.

Now, to sit back and bask in the enthusiasm of my fans and everyone who wants to see me. It’ll be nice to see the world again and visit Germany and Ireland and Scotland.

Huh, weird, I just saw on Twitter the Australians seem to be getting cranky. Ah well, I’ll check on that in the morning.

Wednesday

Oh no. The people of Perth are angry because I’m not stopping by to play a show. I do have other dates in Australia, though. What’s their problem?

You’d think at this point I wouldn’t care if people were mad at me. But I’ve written innumerable songs about how people have jilted me in the past. I wrote a 10-minute version of a song that had my fans demanding Jake Gyllenhaal return my red scarf.

I may be famous, but that doesn’t mean I’ve got an iron shell around me. It still hurts.

But I guess I don’t really want to have bad blood with Australia. It may be full of horrifying poisonous animals, but the people are nice enough.

Thursday

I just got off the phone with my manager.

It turns out the Canadians are upset, too. So upset that some upstart member of Parliament has officially complained to the House of Commons that I’ve snubbed Canada.

Ungrateful ingrates! I’ve been all over the U.S. Don’t they know that’s a short plane ride away from pretty much any Canadian city?

It’s not like I’ve even spent much time there before, beyond Toronto and Vancouver and Edmonton.

What’s wrong with these people? Everyone always says Canadians are so chill. As if a national hissy fit is going to convince me to come visit.

Friday

As I was falling asleep last night, I came up with a great idea for a song — one about just how much Canada sucks and how much they’re ruining my life.

That’ll be my revenge!

Ugh. I just did a Google search to make sure I wouldn’t be infringing on copyright or something. Turns out South Park did this ages ago. Maybe I’ll just sing Blame Canada at one of my shows.

ts1989fanatic: I know this is satire but that sh*t is not funny at all, not everyone can afford to travel to the USA to go too a concert.

[taylortruther]

I was going to write about why I think Foolish One and Haunted are about the same situation as Forever & Always and Last Kiss, so I looked through some old interviews about Taylor and Joe Jonas and Taylor and John Mayer and got sidetracked and horrified.

First, I knew they worked together on Half of My Heart but I found out he reached out to her through twitter, saying he wants to collaborate with her (and she said in an Elle interview that she was so excited because she had always been a big fan).

It made me think about Billie Eilish and that old weirdo she dated this year (I can't bother to look up his name, he's in a band). Most people weren't too happy about this age-gap (thank god), and Billie tried to defend her relationship by saying that she was the one to make the first move. But the thing is that in these kind of relationships the victim's gonna say they were the one in control, but it's never actually true. The other person is always the one with the power.

Now I don't know if JM had any other intentions when he tweeted it. I do know they performed together in May on Fearless Tour and, I've seen this performance, she had intentions. I keep thinking about that and I Can See You and "if you never touched me, I would've gone along with the righteous" and it's horrifying because even if he didn't have any bad intentiond at first (I don't think so. Why didn't he reach out privately? Why did he have to make it a public event?), he knew exactly what he was doing not breaking things off the moment he realized she has a crush on him.

They were rumoured be dating from January - February. They performed together in December and I think by that time they were "offical" or very very close to that. I've tried to look up some articles about their split and I found two things

1. From February 6th, from a website called Stylecaster: John Mayer & Taylor Swift dating? Just watch what you say John, you don't want to turn into Joe Jonas.

The difference between this and the reaction to Billie and Old Weirdo is giving me so much faith in humanity because we're definitely progressing. How the hell do you look at a relationship between a 32 years old and a 19 years old and tell the adult man to watch out??

2. I did find a single blog? website? That posted something in February 5th, 2010. The author of the article talked about how JM boasted about hooking up with Taylor (which he actually did, by the way. Disgusting creep): "I totally believe this happened. I think Swifty is a sweet girl with a horrible taste in men...perhaps that's why she thinks John Mayer is "cool" or "hot" and "not King of the Douches"...my opinion: Mayer is a manipulative psychopath.

So many people responded at that time that Taylor is an adult who can make her own choices and as someone who's around the same age as her, she definitely wasn't.

Andrea never approved of the relationship, we all know that. She actually pulled him aside and told him to back off her daughter. I'm glad Taylor's parents were defensive and supportive of her.

In some Playboy interview in February 2010 he talked about his sex life with Jessica Simpson. Her dad was rightlfully upset with him and in 2021 Simpson said she was embrassed by his interview (who wouldn't be?). He's made a lot of weird comments in January-February (like his dick being a white supremacist. What the fuck?) I can't imagine being the person dating a creep like him. How lonely and confusing it must have been.

I read somewhwre he and Simpson (who were on and off for years) offically ended things in 2010. He Taylor broke up sometimes in 2010, probably before June when she wrote The Story of Us. In 2011 he was seen with Miley Cyrus who was then 18.

Everything I've read about him this last hour makes me loathe him and wish him the absolute worse.

yeah, he sucks for many reasons... his actions speak for themselves tbh, i have nothing to add lmao

[automaticllamacycle]

Hey! I think i was the last anon you answered. What I meant by shaming addicts is that on twitter I started to see more and more people talking distastefully about addictions and addicts due to the lyrics about drugs and the meaning people created around it, not that taylor talked about it. I completely agree that Taylor should be able to write about her life and experiences, and i also know that they are normal swifties dw. Unfortunately we see less and less of them. And i know that taylor cant control every one of her fans, those lines just didnt sit well with me.

I didnt know she lost a friend bc of addiction. But i knew what she said about addicts in the long pond studio sessions of folklore so just casually mentioning drugs like that was definitely weird to me and i didnt like them. But hey! I guess its not for me and i think thats okay. Im also probably very biased and protective of matty that's why i jumped into conclusions a little bit so that was wrong of me to say or maybe i shouldve said it in a different way. I definitely don't think that she purposely wanted swifties to hate someone but she didnt really talk about that person kindly (maybe matty but could be fictional or literally anyone else) at least in the smallest man who ever lived, i dont remember the other

I understand being protective of Matty. I love him too I get it. My issue with what you said was that Taylor intentional put those lyrics in to paint him badly because of his addiction. She wouldn’t do that because of that friend she lost. We don’t even truly know the lyrics for sure? And we don’t know who it’s about. The line that mentions drugs in the smallest man to me just seems like a description of an event. It was just saying whatever happened, whether that be a fictional event or something based around reality. The rest of the lyrics of that song doesn’t even make sense to be about Matty. I didn’t even see Swifties mention it at first I just saw tons and I mean TONS of 75 stans say OH ITS MATTY. Most of the crazy Swifties aren’t listening to the leaks out of respect to Taylor

So I see what you mean and I understand being upset over it but I just don’t think the outrage is channeled in the right direction. Be pissed at the Swifties. They’re the ones causing shit. There’s nothing wrong with the lyrics she wrote and she isn’t responsible for what her fans do. She should be able to express art though music without treading lightly in fear of what her fans might do.

ummm yeah anon idk if you’re on twitter but taylors fans are totally obsessed with her relationship lol 💀 like in an unhinged way

it’s so funny to me to see that the fans have taken such an interest in this. I think the NFL said that they’ve had a crazy increase of viewership for the games. And then also, I kind of feel a little bit bad because I don’t know if the swifties realize that like the Chiefs likely are not gonna make it to the Super Bowl this year. They won the Super Bowl last year, and they’re really good this year but they probably won’t win the Super Bowl. And I don’t want them to get all upset about it, but there’s always next year .

i wanted to say one thing. it's very weird to me that same people that MANY times expressed their disappointment in paramore's silence, then don't point out how silent that their other favorite artists are too. like at least be consisent. ive seen multiple people stanning beyonce, billie and paramore and tweet ONLY about paramore's silence. or same people have almost 100k followers on their other account but not even share shit there, like it's your platform too.

i do not fancy keeping this specific side of the conversation going but well same can be said for pmore fans that are also swifties too. i just think people have come to recognise these are big celebs who literally don't do much anyway. paramore make it a big deal and their whole thing to use their platform but those celebs don't really do that. i also find it very odd that they're silent though but also i know beyoncé's film is gonna be in theatres in israel, she also almost performed there, and billie once did a little happier than ever promo video for israel, and then taylor's ass just never does shit so i think people were already expecting absolutely nothing.

but also both of them use instagram rather than twitter so if you look at their ig comments you'll see that's where people are expressing upset with them, so i'd assume that's what those fans might be doing too.

anyway. i'd like to be done with the celeb side of this.

hey friends. so i didn’t get anything done today & i was barely around online today here or anywhere. my mood has been super off & weird all day. i honestly think part of it has to do w the fact that i’m slowly getting my sleeping schedule fixed & my mood tends to be weird the first few days of that happening. i guess it’s just like my brain adjusting but i always feel weird & off. not to mention i got … triggered? i suppose is the word i’d use by a few different things earlier & that didn’t help at all. & … just a few minutes ago i went on twitter for like 10 minutes & it made me feel worse bc there’s drama going on in the swiftie fandom apparently & drama in fandoms (esp on twitter) always makes me feel upset & stressed out. so i dunno. i’m just tired & sad & not vibey. so i’m probably just gonna eat & head to bed. i’ll hopefully be around tomorrow & get shit done. i’ll talk to you all then & i love you all very much <3
