deeply refreshing to see someone critical of Swift who also like, genuinely likes her. Like i'm neutral to positive on her, but the online discourse has been absolutely rancid. flipping between "Taylor Swift has never done anything wrong ever and she's a fucking genius" and "Taylor Swift is the worst lyricist of all time and also a bad person" is exhausting, so thank you for like. nuance or something lmao

not to make it serious for a sec but i genuinely think that being able to like things that are bad is really important. like I think that it's an important skill to be able to look at something and see what you personally enjoy about it and then take a step back and acknowledge that objectively it's flawed. and to also be able to acknowledge that liking something isn't necessarily an identity or a moral stance. and i think that fandom space in general could really benefit from more people taking the time to learn how to do that. it's okay to like things that are bad

#people ask me sometimes why ill occasionally talk about something i like and then go 'but it's bad' and the answer is usually because it is #i love teen wolf. i love genshin impact. i love detective conan. and i fucking LOVE taylor swift. that doesnt mean theyre good #it just means i like them. and recognizing their flaws actually helps me better identify what i like about them!#it's like. in my mind bad > good is the x axis and i like it > i dont like it is the y axis yk. they're not mutually exclusive #tldr it's not that serious. we can all relax a little #irt taylor swift i do also think she has done some real harm to her fans in enabling them to deflect all criticism of her as misogyny #and i don't think it's fully the fault of these people who are parroting that response bc so much of her marketing has deliberately #reinforced this idea that to be a swiftie is to be a part of a sisterhood and that any attack on taylor is an attack on all of those women #who are in that in-group. when that's obviously not the case. but she's marketed herself as. for lack of a better term. 'girl music'#to the point where it makes her fans feel as though any criticism of the music or the woman responsible for it is an attack on their #personal experience of womanhood/girlhood/sisterhood/etc. and that's how you get all of thess bad-faith accusations of misogyny #i don't necessarily think this was her deliberate goal with her marketing tho because like. on first glance such a strong sense of communit #among fans sounds like a great thing. the friendship bracelets i got at the eras tour movie are really genuinely special to me.#but it does present a problem when your fans are unable to separate how they feel about the community and experience your music has fostere #from how they feel about you as a person. especially when you are a billionaire who absolutely CANNOT be above criticism in this economy #anyway. tldr i love taylor's music and i don't think swiftie hivemind is as deliberately malicious as it may seem #but it's obviously necessary to be able to take a step back and look objectively at what you're participating in.#anyway stream ttpd or don't idc <3 #taylor swift

I’m not judging people who listen to the leaks but I will say that I don’t understand the appeal of listening before the official release bc for me the fun of it all is hearing the album for the first time all together and getting online and seeing everyone’s immediate reactions and knowing we’re all experiencing this rush of excitement together no matter where we are in the world. It just feels lonely to listen alone ahead of time.

#like I understand casual fans listening to leaks but I feel like as a devoted fun it’s so much more fun to listen all together?#ar the end of the day tho you do you like I’m not judging #it’s not like the leaks are gonna affect her sales lol #taylor swift #the tortured poets department #swifties

As an emo who mainly listens to alternative, hardcore, rock, and heavy metal music, I can tell you Taylor Swift is not emo! And that’s fine! But for the love of hypothetical god DO NOT CALL HER MUSIC EMO IT’S NOT. You’re not cooler for listening to “emo” music. It’s fine to listen to pop. Her music is shitty not because it’s pop it’s bad because she’s shit at song writing, the mixing is TERRIBLE, and all instrumentals are drowned out by her voice which is either whispering or really off key.

#Hearing swifties call some of her music heavy metal is funny tho #Like its not???#Not even close to being heavy metal lmao #anti taylor swift #anti swifties

Is it bad to say that really the only reason I want a S&B renewal/spin-off is so I have more clips for my edits 😭

Like Real People Do by Hozier represents all of the six of crows canon couples in a way i can't exactly put into words but just makes sense

specifically the lines

I will not ask you where you came from

I will not ask and neither would you

#all my mutuals are swifties #and they make playlists with taylor songs for these people #and I'm over here vibing to hozier and cavetown #wasteland baby is kanej #jackie and wilson is helnik #not sure which one is wesper #but like real people do is the angsty bits in all three #i feel like it fits kanej and wesper the best tho #idk #train of thought #at 7:15 am #grishaverse #six of crows #leigh bardugo #wesper #kanej #helnik #hozier

There is a difference between pointing out things like double standards/smear campaigns in celebrity culture/pop music industry and acting like it should be illegal to call a top 40 pop star's music mediocre or boring in the mildest and most impersonal way if she's a woman. You are treating women like babies who are too emotional to handle any criticism. Its patriarchy brained infantilization of women like you think women in the music industry shouldnt even be taken seriously as musicians enough for their music to be critically analysed because 'theyre just women'? Lmfao

#'girls support girls' is a phrase thats only ever used for dumb celebrity bullshit like that #some ppl reblog my posts abt random shit n go 'oh this is about swifties' when its not. this is in fact abt swifties tho #also i understand celebrity crap is kinda a reflection of wider social dynamics that also apply to normal ppl but... u care abt this 2 much

This is Sanuso to me

#always making sanji a swiftie and i won't apologize for that #also usopp listens to cavetown but he definitely listens to spanish indie bands i can't mention bc nobody will know them here gonna cry #anyway i know usopp's color is yellow but have you considered that he's a botanist and also i like green #isn't it funny that sanji dresses like that rich kid from your class™#in spain we call those 'cayetanos' but sanji is better than that. still a rich kid tho-#when are they going to give usopp and sanji toads and rats/mice again bc i need them to have little pets #one piece #black leg sanji #usopp #sanuso

so done with swifties who hate olivia atp because what the fuck do you mean she's copying taylor for.... talking to her fans between songs and looking around the stadium -?

#adri is not making sense #was watching a video of the concert (if you guys want it just message tho some songs are missing)#and this grown woman is like 'i dont like the way she imitates taylor :/'#and this is the imitating.#anti swifties #olivia rodrigo

#why am i like this #genuinely tho 'swiftie astarion' is something cooked up in a lab to be poisonous to me specifically

literally i feel like a dad. with a few exceptions music today sucks. i’m just here listening to simon and garfunkel and developing a superiority complex while everyone else stans these sexy baby pop girlies and mumble rappers etc

#have no right to this superiority complex bc i’m a swiftie. but thats one of a few exceptions #actually taylor is ok bc she debuted in the 2000s #2000s-early 2010’s are fine #but anyone who became famous after like 2017 sucks #i do like maisie tho i think she’s my exception
