@[email protected] I guess haters gonna hate hate hate hate hate

I wasn't a Swiftie at all until I heard Midnights last year, and I honestly think it could be one of the top 50 albums of all time.

She's a billionaire. We do not make exceptions.

@[email protected] “she got a lot of young people to register to vote” that is exactly their problem. They know young people don’t vote for them.

@[email protected] For some time now, it's been a popular pastime to see others hating someone, and jump on the bandwagon just to be a part of it. There have been a lot of celebrities over the last few years that have been on the receiving end of some very unearned vitriol.

She got young people to vote and that's no good.

@[email protected] She encourages women to vote. A crime according to republicans.

@[email protected] The OP inadvertently outlined why certain factions can't stand her …

@[email protected] It's the same reason various folks on the right go berserk over hijabis.

A hijab is a very visible "unavailable, unattainable" marker, which is intolerable to anyone with patriarchal supremacist beliefs.

Even the usual run of fact-averse folks on the right can't delude themselves into believing they're in Ms. Swift's league, so it's the same "unavailable, unattainable" presence and the same "this is not how I command the world to be organized" tantrum.

@[email protected] I have heard, from a reliable source, that when she receives any form of negativity, she will simply shake it off.

The 'getting young people to vote' bit might be a minus point for the Fox crowd, I'm thinking?

@[email protected] It's because she encourages people to register to vote, especially young people.

@[email protected] It's about jealousy- folks are jealous and envious of her success.

@[email protected] The right operates on a zero sum game. If some one else is happy, it steals some of their happiness. It is pretty miserable existence.

@[email protected] My wife and I don't hate her. We acknowledge her talent. We simply don't see that she warrants all the attention. The constant TS news, especially the gushing, is tiresome.
However, that may be just a sign of the times. The polarized digital age where you are either 0 or 1, left or right, up or down with no comfortable center.

@[email protected] ......"got a helluva lot of young people to vote"......

I think it's about control - she is young and has wealth and defies how they think women "should" behave and they can't stop it and it drives them crazy.

And that's fantastic. Every bit of humility we can inject into the lives of the haters is useful.

@[email protected] I'm not a hater.
I don't like her though, since she flies way too much:

#climatechange

But observing from outside the US - the rightwing hates her guts for nebulous political reasons.

@[email protected] She gets young people to register to vote, and they don't want anyone voting, especially young people.

For one thing, they absolutely hate the fact Taylor Swift despises that thunder cunt Marsha Blackburn who espouses everything the GOP really is.

And she encourages people to register and vote accordingly.

Fuck the GOP.

@[email protected] Agreed, but could it also be because her music is mostly forgettable vanilla earwash?

@[email protected]

She’s had tremendous advantages from a very young age - numerous advantages - not available to almost any other artist.

But, to her credit, she’s taken those advantages and worked very hard to develop her craft, artistry and showmanship.

@[email protected] not justifying the hate, but just a reminder you could have said a lot of those things about JKR a decade ago. #FuckJKRowling

@[email protected] I’m not really a Taylor Swift fan (I think I can name about three of her songs) but I greatly admire her as a business person.

There's gotta be a "Force for the Good" and a "Force for the Bad" to sell tickets to a movie or political drama in an election year.

Seriously, where would Luke be without Darth Vader?

@[email protected] Greta Thunberg is my kind of rock star when it comes to female power.

@[email protected] I feel like people started hating her when she was still a teenager and spoke out against the 30-something year old man who was more popular and successful than her who dated her and treated her like crap.

And honestly people still seem way more pressed over who she's dating or not dating and the fact that she's not married than they do over her success. I mean she was America's sweetheart before she started speaking out against men.

@[email protected] With her usage of private jets, she is the biggest polluter of every single person in the world.

@[email protected] I don’t know the first thing about her music or her personally. I wouldn’t be able to identify her if she stood in front of me. But she seems to be a big deal in the USA and the USA is so polarised these days it is of no surprise people hate her. I assume the haters are those who adore the likes of Trump? I don’t get how anyone could hate any artist - you either enjoy them or you don’t. Where does hate come into it?

@[email protected] That last part is the problem. LOL

@[email protected] 👍💯👍

@[email protected]
Its the last one thay take issue with the most.

@[email protected] and hating girls won’t never look like her and hating guys won’t never touch her. That’s also what turn them mad.

@[email protected] she is to non magats, what kid rock is to magats. She's better at it.

@[email protected] And she even works with the art industry unions, which is even more awesome!

@[email protected] She doesn't like Trump, and that's enough reason for the MAGA cult to hate her.
