But I do have one Taylor nit, and that is I wish she would spekaup. She is a billionaire with nothing to lose, and she seems so insulated right now not telling Trump and the WH to eff off using her music.

Like, didn't she used to be politically involved?

Maybe I am wrong, but this seems like a legit critique?

She dated a 17/18 year old while she was 22/23. She even checked him out of high school.

She even bought a house near him.

So, maybe she is scared to take on the pedophile?

We don't need more people unqualified speaking out. People should stay in their lanes.

This seems like such a stretch to throw the pedo term around. Just googling, he was born in July 1994 and they started dating in July 2012. So he was 17 for a minute and she was 22 for the duration of their relationship (they broke up before her 23rd birthday looks like). Seeing pictures of them together she could pass for 16. She missed out on some of the high school milestones given her career and seemed somewhat delayed anyway. She was doing sort of teen pop at that point, “I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 22.” I seriously doubt any Kennedy boy was a virgin as late as 18 - they are not exactly known for respecting women.

It seems like an appropriate match. Considering all male celebs who dated teen girls when they were much older and no one gives a crap this seems silly to be harking on. Looking at you, Paul Walker and Chad Michael Murray. And Anthony Keidis. And Billy Corrigan. And John Mayer. And Johnny Depp. And Henry Cavill. And Jerry Seinfeld.

Well, I have things to do, but I’ll come back and list 50 more if you’d like.

By the way, all those men I listed were much much older than 22 when they were dating the teens.

I agree men do it all. The. Time. But I have to admit that relationship always grossed me out. And I’m a fan.

I think she has been threatened too much. I wouldn't either if I were her. She had to get extra security after CK was killed.

DP. I’m just curious why you feel she needs to “speak up” simply because you want her to? She obviously doesn’t want to be an entertainer/activist and for that I applaud her. She can speak up - or not - about whatever she pleases.

Obviously she doesn't "have to."

But her latest fell flat to me and didn't seem "for the moment.'

Clearly the record sales reflect that a huge # of ppl didn't mind at all.

But we're all entitled to our opinions just as she's entitled to putting out whatever music on whatever topics she wants.

Eff off with that. By that logic, anyone who is not a politician or in the field isn't allowed to have an opinion.

Is that really your stance? Seems really undemocratic to me.

I disagree with Kid Rock but he is absolutely allowed to speak and have an opinion.

He’s a narcissist. He wants is her attention. She’s smart not to give it to him.

Younger “kids” are dating at these ages all the time. The most religious, chaste, and conservative girl I know married a boy 3 years younger than her when she was 24. They met when she was 21.

It’s absurd to compare this to say, most of the men in Hollywood.

Some of you need to listen to The Man a few times.

DP and agree with you. I will point out that she has spoken out - she formally endorsed Harris and she criticized trump for promoting white nationalism, and she is very generous with funding to all kinds of charities and communities.

That said whenever she is critical it gives air time to all the losers who don’t need more airtime. Then in the main stream starts coming clips from Newsmax and people like Jesse Waters, who would not go viral otherwise - but mentioning and criticizing Taylor Swift gets hits and if they can mention her and criticize her and causes outrage it is just giving them more airtime.

I don’t know the right answer, but simply saying she should speak out more is lazy frankly. Its more complicated than that. She has a HUGE platform and she needs to be really strategic when she speaks out and if she speaks out over every outrage it’s just going to dilute and get lost in the sauce.

She has chosen not to speak up. She is exercising her right to stay silent. Isn’t that what you want?

You all would crucify the sh!t out of her if she got political and you know it.

I was responding to the poster who said people should stay in their lanes. Ridiculous. It's just a way to shut people up you disagree with. It's anti democratic and gross.

Her speaking up would be the best PR Trump has ever had. She’s too smart to give that to him. He does not deserve the attention.

There no such thing as bad publicity.

Look, she can speak or not. She has no obligation to. If she wanted to she would which is separate from whether or not anyone cares what she has to say. I am not interested in her political opinions.
