Taylor Swift is awful (and her music isn't even very good)

I work in nonprofit and can only imagine the amazing cushion in funding those food banks now have. That's real. |

| I'd love the lyrics to if I were a man. And I agree with her completely. If she were a man, she would not be so criticized. The misogyny. |

What are you talking about? People do criticize men who are in the public spotlight all of the time. (People were publicly burning Beatles records at one point. There was an enormous public backlash against the BeeGees. I can go on and on with such examples. Musicians fall out of favor all of the time.) You need to have a very thick skin to be a celebrity. What’s different about Swift is that she’s cultivated a pseudo relationship with her fans so that they feel like they know her and get very defensive about her. Unlike Swift, her fans don’t have a think skin, hence the over emotional reaction to the typical criticism that any well known celebrity gets. |

Yeah I hate them because if she were a man she would be an a$$ hole (like her dad). I see the characteristics she claims are highly valued in men as being characteristics of people who are insecure and have little empathy for others. I would be complex I would be cool They'd say I played the field before I found someone to commit to And that would be ok For me to do Every conquest I had made would make me more of a boss to you I'd be a fearless leader I'd be an alpha type When everyone believes ya What's that like? All of those characteristics are bad regardless if you are a man or a woman. So why write about them as good for anyone? Might makes right in Taylors world and I don’t buy it. Who wants to be that kind of man or around that kind of man anyway? Not me! Why hold toxic masculinity up as something to be? |

No. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But no. |

| NYT has reached a new low. This kind of “opinion” piece is not worthy of the NYT. What were they thinking. |

| She's completely and totally horrible! Eventually the world she's has made for herself is gonna crash down on her. I don't wish anything bad for her at all! She's just horrible and people will realize it soon enough |

Dude-- come up from the basement. She has been in the public eye for well over a decade. What rock did you crawl from? |

I think Taylor Swift is just immature and likes to have a little group of famous cool girlfriends. She tosses them when they don't align with her brand anymore. |

| She is giving women permission to be themselves. Their wonderfully stupid insightful trying and excited selves. The mistakes the highs the lows the in between. She’s real. Didn’t we address this in Barbie?? |

I didn't need Taylor Swift's permission to do this, and I do not get the sense that she gives people in her orbit this "permission" either. Did she give her friend Lana del Rey permission to not join her on stage at the Grammys? No, it's Taylor's world and we're just living in. She IS like Barbie, but only at the beginning of the movie when everything revolves around her, and everyone else's job is to make sure they know the dance moves so they can make sure her party is extra epic. |
