I think I’ve finally worked out why this Kanye video has me so uncomfortable. Obviously, it’s disgusting and crude and awful, but I try to just shrug this kind of thing off as petty and cheap and ridiculous. I can’t with this video. This video depicted Taylor’s naked, exposed, sexualized body in a bed right next to Kanye West. As if the lyric wasn’t enough. The lyric was gross, it was angering, but this is on an entirely different level. 

What he depicts in this scene is a conceptualized, symbolic rape. This is a woman who has told him no. That she does not approve of this lyric, that she does not approve of the concept or “joke” he is trying to make, that she wants no part in this, and what does he do? He continues to throw her name out there. He continues to harass her. And now? He actually depicts her naked in bed, seemingly after having had sex with him. He has put her likeness in a compromising position in a video for a song she wanted no part in, in a video she wanted no part in, next to a person she wants no part in. It’s a massive power trip. It’s essentially Kanye saying “Look what I can do, even when you say no. You can’t stop me.” 

Imagine being Taylor in this position. Imagine if this was you. Imagine if you were her parent, her brother, her best friend. Imagine not being able to defend yourself against someone who continues to come after you, time and time again. Who humiliates you. Who is the epitome of misogynistic, power hungry, narcissistic, and crude. This wasn’t just a shitty music video. This wasn’t a “drag”. This was harassment. This was abuse. This was disgusting.

I need to go to Swift camp

I’m so thankful I got to meet a group of such sweet and caring people. I feel so welcome and loved by every single one of you.You made me feel comfortable in front of a crowd. Swift Camp was magical and I would do it all over again (hopefully next year!) (btw major credit to @taylortreassures for letting me borrow her amazing hand made outfit!)

@taylorswift Jordan is my best friend and this would be the best birthday present ever. I don't know if I will be able to come to her sweet sixteen because I will be out of town and that just might make up for it 😉

Hi Taylor! My name is Jordan and I met you on October 17th, 2015. You’ve been following me since that night so I figured maybe you’ll see this. On Friday, August 5th, 2016, I’ll be having my 16th birthday party. I know it’s a long shot. A really, really long shot, but I’d like to invite you to come. You’ve been my inspiration, my hero, and my best friend for 10 years now and I would love to be able to celebrate with you. I’ve already met you, but I’d love to hug you one more time. I promise to make it really fun for you.

Here’s the info: Date: August 5th, 2016 Time: 7pm-9pm Location: a place called “my studio” in Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States

Guys

How would you like it if your best friend said they didn’t want to talk to you again because you did something different with your style? That would suck, right? Okay, that’s what you’re doing to Taylor right now. She died her hair because SHE WANTED TO. Not because it’s what everyone else wanted her to do. She’s maturing and we need to let her do that. No one is forcing us to like it or not, but we need to be respectful and supportive of TAYLOR’S CHOICE. Think about all the times she’s supported us through everything we’ve gone through. It’s our turn to do that for her. @taylorswift we love you so so so much. Thank you for everything you’ve done.

This blog fully supports Taylor’s style/music evolution, whatever the end result may be.
