It wasn’t just me either my mutuals got this shit from him all the time and I remember my fave artist who was also my mutual got so fucking angry about it. Last time I checked his blog after blocking him he was posting feeder stuff- man….
Reminiscing on my days on monster high tumblr and realising that this guy who used to follow me and ask me to draw him the exact same thing every day was actually fetish mining 😁 I was thirteen years old 😁

i think that swifties, hardcore swifties who only listen to taylor and don't expand their musical tastes to include other artists (especially other genres) are actually becoming dumber when it comes to music as an art form.
i back up this idea with the fact that taylor sticks to a pretty consistent song format that does not really challenge her listeners. yes, there are exceptions. there's nuance to this take. but by and large, a lot of her songs follow a very formulaic progression. i do cede that her lyrics can be complex but more of her big pop albums/hits are... not complex at all. they're very straight forward pieces of work that (yes, are awesome to listen to, i've enjoyed shake it off in my life) do not challenge their listeners.
and you might be saying but izzy, music does not have to challenge it's listeners. and you're right. music doesn't always have to challenge it's listeners. but when your only musical experience is listening to an artist that lays out their music in such a way that you're always comforted by it's progression and lyrics, you are not in my opinion allowed to think that you understand music as an art form.
and maybe this is a really pretentious take to have about music but i don't care, i stand by it and will continue to until swifties stop showing their ass when artists release music that confuses them.
