Not to talk about non-Taylor celebrities on my Taylor blog, but I just read that K*m’s daughter has a record deal and is in a role in a new Disney production at the age of 10 and I just… don’t understand how people in the industry exploit their kids like this. These kids don’t stand a chance and it just seems like watching a train wreck in motion. (I mean, I don’t follow these people and only came across this news by happenstance, but you know what I mean.) I know theatre kids would kill for this kind of gig but I just honestly don’t understand how parents who *know* what the industry is like would ever put their kids in that position, at least until they were of age and could make the choice themselves.

#like for all the handwringing people did at Taylor very subtly including said child in a lyric on her song #at least it was in an age appropriate setting idk #and this is a me thing but for years I’ve become increasingly uncomfortable with the idea of child actors to begin with #even though i know there are plenty of good stories and they’re also necessary for productions #but it just seems like such a cesspool and so exploitative #anyway sorry i don’t know why I’m ranting tonight #not to keep shitting on this particular family #but i just can’t believe how they look at how their generation was exploited in the media #and think it’s a good thing to do the same to their kids
