#yea im a swiftie

[ad-astra-per-aspera-1389]

Okay, yeah, no. It isn't entirely harry styles and taylor swift. It's mostly exclusively seven by taylor swift ever since the heartstopper lesbians (/pos) claimed it, and like a handful of others...but taylor swift is not a queer icon. She's just not. Neither is harry styles. Do a lot of queer people like their music? Probably! But in its core it isn't actually "queer music". There's a range and infinite interpretations, but oh my god stop saying taylor swift and harry styles equate to queer culture

Queer music is impossible to define because we are not a monolith and we all have our own tastes and styles but it sure is not harry styles and taylor swift

[that-was-a-bit-stupid-of-you]

two ppl in a row asked me if I like hp and taylor swift. um idk what to tell you guys, but you won't like it

[wp100]

hate to talk about taylor swift on main but i listened to forever and always (the original then taylors version) and it brought back so many memories

i love her old music, i hate to admit it on the site where Everyone hates her but yeah

idk man i just have good memories with her music, especially her older stuff. even 1989. her new stuffs alright but the nostalgic stuff is always better to me 😭 im a sentimental person alright

[celestie0]

umm🧍🏻‍♀️for my swiftie followers…uhhh. um.

ayo is it just me or was that album not…that…great 😭🙏🏼

omg out of 31 songs i only added maybe eight of them to my playlist? hahah

but idk maybe some of them will grow on me, ik that happened for a few w midnights, but a lot of the choruses fell flat imo?? very obviously trying to be repetitive n catchy, either that or they were lil bit boring. the lyricism on the verses/prechorus/bridges were BANGER tho fs 💯 but yea some choruses i was like…😵‍💫 mehh. i alr knew i wouldn’t like the instrumentals all that much since it was revealed to be synth pop but some of the instrumentals surprised me very unique n cool!!

also if it sounds like im being a hater im a seasoned swiftie okay 😂😂 im allowed to hate, i’ve earned the right. i still enjoy her music as a whole hahah but i just gotta be HONEST ttpd is kind of ehh so far i need to listen to it more tho fs imma have it on repeat at work that usually helps 😂😂

it was so fuckin sad tho i was gasping for air at some of the lyrics 😭💔 her pen was tryna kill w some of those songs

ALSO CAN’T BELIEVE she did double album release shes wild i will never know peace as a swifte lmfaooo

[twentytanya]

No, Tanya did not, but she blushed at that in a way that indicated there was maybe more to the story.

"Marriage is an institution that only exists to perpetuate capitalism and the exchange of money. Especially in that era," Tanya replied, rolling her eyes. "And it wasn't boring. I was doing cool fire magic shit. I thought you'd be into that or whatever."

hi, indian ex-swiftie here! (you can use the ⏳️ to refer to me if you're still doing that) and about the desi obsession with taylor swift, I think is not completely due to her white skin. Like ofc, if taylor had been a poc things would be different, but then, her entire career would be different so yea

But it think it's similar to the white skin theory and that is the obsession with western trends. Like everytime something is going on in usa (mostly) it becomes a new shiny trend for us to adopt, and that's cuz it's somehow better (?) because the US did it, especially with gen z onwards (im a gen z btw). Like this whole desi obsession wasn't that prevalent until the US suddenly started being more obsessed with taylot since midnights. Even tiktok concepts such as "girlhood" or "girl's girl" (which is again related to some white person bs) is equally common here (we don't even have tiktok like-) and I've seen indian swifties use these things to justify their obsession or slander ppl for hating on taylor swift, just the way US swifties do. It is still an effect of colonization except instead of idolizing white skin (which if you do now, ppl would go against you- if you're a gen z or something atleast) it's saying "omg desi girlies 🎀👩🏾‍🦱" and simultaneously worshipping anything that emerges from the US (which is mostly some white trend, cuz those get the most internationally popular) which includes taylor. It's less liking taylor cuz she's white, and more liking taylor cuz she's white person approved (because then we can be more like white ppl or some bs)

Atleast that's my observation 🤷‍♀️

this is so interesting.

so the obsession with whiteness is a symptom of the obsession with the united states and the west. and the west is represented by whiteness because as you said, white trends get the most popular internationally.

so copying popular culture from the u.s. is a form of social clout in india i see i see. and it is still worshipping whiteness because whiteness extends beyond someone’s skin pigment but is a social category. so unfortunately (and confirmed by other desi anons) the worship of taylor swift is a worship of whiteness because the u.s./west is white.

do black/brown american artists who are “approved” by white people trend the same way taylor swift does? or is it only the white celebs “approved” by white people?

[confusionmeisss]

one day like 2 years ago, my brain just was like, “hey, do u remember taylor swift?????” and i was like, “yeah.” and my brain was like, “we should listen to her entire discography!” and i was like, “okay. we'll do that when we wake up & make a whole day of it.” and then i did.

like nothing prompted me to start listening to her. it wasn't social media or anyone i knew, it was just my brain randomly remembering she existed & had more songs than the ones i listened to & that were in random playlists i’d find/listen to on spotify & before becoming a full out swiftie.

soooo, yah. there's my swiftie origin story, tho no one asked for it.

like, i didn't even know she was re-recording her first six albums, i was just like “oh cool i got here when she's releasing something new. how fun!” i didn't even know what ‘tv’ meant for a while, i just sat there confused being like, “yea, red tv is coming out soon, im so hyped!” i even painted my nails red for the release. (by this point i did know she was re-recording, but i still had no idea what ‘tv’ meant but i was using it 😭).

and then i unfortunaly found stan twitter. a tragedy really.

I have gotten such a major ick from Travis buying a racehorse with Taylor’s name. Like tell me you’re monetizing your relationship without telling me. The more money he makes and deals he books off Taylor’s name is turning me off more and more. (And making me appreciate joe more tbh) it was all fun and games to start but moving in to football season #2 and Brittany Mahomes again ugh so over it. Do swifties know they are bankrolling this mediocre man? They listen to that podcast to try and get one tidbit of info about Taylor and they conveniently talk about her each time because they know that’s the content that gets clicks and guess what they now have a 100 million $ podcast deal. Make it make sense

Ohh what racehorse?? This is the first I’m hearing of it lmao and yea it’s…not great. I think part of what makes their relationship seem almost exploitative of taylor, at least to me, is how it doesn’t feel very genuine ie it’s a kind of superficial arrangement. Like so high school is cute ish (I’ve kind of come around to it if I forget who it’s about) but it feels more abt the giddiness of being in the honeymoon phase of a relationship rather than abt any merits of Travis himself. The alchemy doesn’t help either, what with it being so riddled with lazy football metaphors like I get why the public identifies Travis as a footballer or wtv but is that all he is to her? Someone who knows how to play ball? Someone who scores touchdowns/wins trophies etc? Like give me moreeee tell me what’s so great about him ykwim

Yea all the nfl players but esp their wives give me a major ick like they just seem so artificial and insincere and given the types of values the nfl aligns itself with, it makes me side eye taylor so hard for going out of her way to party with them etc like at her rhode island house (if Im remembering correctly). Rather than Britanny mahomes I rmb hearing more abt keleigh teller last when I was still following along more closely, who I think was more obviously trying to use taylor for clout (also WAIT was it brittany mahomes’ husband who gave that graduation speech?? Had to be someone in that circle right?)

And yea I find it so weird how swifties kind of bend over backwards to accommodate changes in taylor? Like the reason I became a fan of hers in the first place was cuz I admired her and certain things aligned which is why I connected to her music sooo deeply, but that’s no longer the case. Whereas the more hardcore/parasocial swifties either ‘forced’ themselves/picked up watching football as a new hobby, started listening to that podcast just for slivers of info abt their fave and make excuses for the whole matty healy incident like aren’t yall exhausted?? What is it about her that has such a strong hold on them?

casually thinking about that anon that said i dont know strahd at all

like its hard to believe u anon when my headcanon is that strahd would/does listen to taylor swift and i CAN THEORIZE IT WITH SOURCES

stupid stuff below

proof #1: Taylor Alison Swift can be anagrammed to Tatyani Forsillows . For silo..? for a silo - a tower? for silo - isolation? .. coincidence? i think not.

proof #2: she's seen as a 'music chameleon?' a chameleon? you know who else is a.. chameleon..?

proof #3: strahd would listen to these songs and believe she's singing about/to him

proof #4: strahd would be FANATIC for her. all fan merch? strahd has it. some of his warlocks are swifties. he hugs his tatyani pillow and sobs as she's in a strange world that he cant even buy concert tickets for.. destined to be apart..

proof #5: strahd would become obsessed with the lore and messages in her music/vids. you know he's on his magical computer talking with other fans about theories of the universe lore. he'd unironically see it as a code that his beloved is trying to give him on how to break the curse

ok so while writing this i was gonna pull out like dnd sources but i think using her wiki page was easier and funnier. and im lazy. id imagine strahd would be unhinged so yea. if u ever randomly hear her music, imagine strahd hugging a pillow sobbing about how he's trying his best to break the curse and he wont give up.. very sad..

[uzi-x33]

UR A SWIFTIE?!?! Wowie. That’s actually the last thing I expected lmao

lmaoo yea, im a swiftie & a juggalo (I have the most bi-polar ass music taste ever💀

[the0nlyallison]

Please for the love of Holy Jesus please I don't wanna see this stuff anymore I'm sorry I used to like her a little bit but now this is crazy okay yea she's got a nice voice and she's smart but damn what the hell there's no need to fixate on every single little thing about her she's just a person

I have been arguing about myself because I didn't want to post anything against Taylor Swift because most of my mutuals are huge, I mean HUGE swifties but its getting out of hand im sorry if this offends you, pisses you off or whatever but damn please you all calm down please

babe, ramble time i just came back from watching the hunger games :tbosbas with my friend and girl tom blyth with a buzz cut i was literally melting in my seat as soon as i saw him i thought of ur fancast of gojo for young snow and i just can’t it was too good. also, the person working at the cashier gave us 2 free taylor swift eras tour cup like omg and i thought of you bc my brain thinks taylor swift=ronnie(i’m so close to turning into a swiftie). anyways yea that was my night, how has ur day been lovely? sorry for intruding ur inbox to go on a rant but i thought so much of you today i had too. hope you’re doing well 💗💗

MY LOVELY NONNIE!

first and foremost, I am literally NOT a buzzcut girl but when he showed up I was like....oh.....oh with the dog tag and about to go swimming with lucy gray oh im sat...

also gojo eats as the role too hard bc he too would be stupid and go "I killed three people" "whose the third" "oh....the old me" ok lwymd lets calm down a bit

me converting people to swiftieism like its a religion or somethign but actually its just bc its the only thing I can talk about but im so glad (my taylor swift song of the day is long story short!)

my day was okay! I had to do some training for new volunteers at the hospital I work at (and then I violently thought about quitting the entire way home). I took a three and a half hour nap on accident when I should have studied and then panic wrote this essay I have due in two hours (but lowkey I think I ate)!

I am now cuddled up in bed and writing method acting bc I had one of those intense brainrot days where the next chapter just kind of materialized in my head (the next chapter is called lovesick)

[zaiinab]

oof let me tell you the swiftie fandom has been going through it this weekend, Brazilian fans were really upset over her silence and lack of support to Ana's family (the family had to take out a loan and ask for donations for the funeral)

as for Palestine, she's still hanging out with Gigi and Selena so we're not really sure where she personally stands on the issue. the sad thruth is that she probably just doesn't care enough to have a strong opinion about it. There were reports of Gigi staying with Taylor for safety reasons after the Israel government posted about her. Palestinian fans are dissapointed by her silence but not surprised.

Swifties have made a few letters asking her to speak up about issues. earlier this year we were calling for her to stand for Trans people, abortion rights and denounce the comments of Matty Healy who she was dating at the time. She never did any of those things. Again dissapointed but not surprise.

I know some Hozier fans are dissapointed that his comments about Palestine were all vague. Brittany Broski went through a mini scandal after she posted and deleted a story complaining her fans were forcing her to speak up. It's definitely not just Harry.

yea defo not and im glad people are calling her out

[osaemu]

the TS on your pinned post pics is for Taylor Swift?

OHHH yeah its a reference to her next rerecording. honestly i didnt have any ideas for my theme so yea 💯💯

speaking of taylor i have a lil rant about swifties under the cut if anyones interested :3

okay so ive been a taylor listener since the release of the og red and even tho i know 90% of her discography by heart i genuinely hate identifying as a swiftie.

the taylor fandom is so so so toxic and if you have your own opinions then boom u have a whole ass army of white girls threatening to ruin ur life.

like personally i hated speak now tv bc it lost all the angst speak now was known for and frankly i just dont listen to it at all. and it doesnt matter bc shes so rich that a couple cents literally make no difference to her lavish life, but when i see other ppl who share this opinion say so, all of a sudden theyre fake swifties and apparently hate women or something.

if you dont conform to the hive mind of the swiftie fandom, you get hate for it. dont listen to evermore? fake swiftie. prefer a non taylors version song over the taylors version? fake swiftie. and god forbid you point out that maybe taylors the problem in any of her relationships, bc if you say that then wow, you're a mysogynist!

personally i just genuinely cant stand the hate swifties are giving joe alwyn too bc they're always like "joe was there for her at her worst but couldnt stand her at her best" like ok some ppl just dont want to be in the spotlight. thats not a problem, and its for the best that they broke up bc thats better than an unhappy relationship. but joe's getting all the shit and nobodys pointing out the fact that taylor could be at fault too — breakups arent always one persons fault.

and also if u like popular songs then everyone just goes "wow u should listen to folklore". its not a big deal but it just pisses me off a little bit bc ive listened to the entirety of folklore, i love the album, and my fav songs are haunted (the og), wonderland, and red but noooo, if i say that i enjoy listening to blank space all of a sudden im not a real fan anymore.

yeah anyways thats just me going off on the fandom :3

[womanexile]

im confused because which ex is she not over. swifties are the ones who keep bringing them up, not her. I hope anon isn't talking John Mayer because Taylors allowed to talk about things that have hurt in the past and that grown man hurting a teenage isn't something to defend anon. It doesn't mean that shes not over him and lets not act like harry doesn't have his own fair share of mess in his personal life.

I think Taylor has a hard time moving past the mental damage Jake & John both caused. They were two grown men messing with a 19 20 year old girl. They should have known better. And Taylor is calling them out on it. But she’s over them in the sense she doesn’t ever want to date them again.

Yea Harry’s life isn’t not messy either. He’s always got people attacking him & trying to discredit him. Larries stalking anyone that comes 5ft of him. I’m sure they are already all over this Candace woman & it’s just rumors.
