And she sang it live in front of the mom after Ronan passed away. That takes something I don’t have.

Feminism is supporting a woman’s right to make art, but also supporting other women’s right to say they don’t like that art without hurling insults.

It is like free speech. Sometimes standing up for free speech sucks, but you have to allow it because otherwise you become the oppressor.

Free speech is not akin to feminism.

Free speech also supports saying women are not equal to men.

Of course free speech is connected to feminism. And yes, men get to say women aren’t equal. Women also get to make fun of d*ck size. It is all free speech. That is why it is hard.

“Addressing hate speech does not mean limiting or prohibiting freedom of speech. It means keeping hate speech from escalating into something more dangerous, particularly incitement to discrimination, hostility and violence, which is prohibited under international law.”

Remember Taylor in the movie Valentine's Day?

i can’t listen to ronan, it just undoes me any time i hear it.
soon you’ll get better is up there as well.

bigger than the whole sky is the song that i can relate to most deeply. it is one that feels like it was written for me personally and i know a lot of people feel that way about it. i can’t listen to it after her live performance.

I've been listening to Marjorie recently and that makes me tear up. But Ronan is on a whole different level.

I'm not holding my breath about Taylor not turning this into a double album with all the ways she tried so hard but was ultimately done wrong ("on the goal line" or "in the red zone" or "in the game of love" or how she's "no longer a fan") lol

The game analogies are actually funny to think about!

Maybe they will. But why don't people say this about male artists? No one asks why Post Malone, Ed Sheeran, Rod Stewart, Bruno Mars, Prince, the Righteous Brothers, all of them, wrote break up songs. Hell, Fleetwood Mac thrived on in-your-face break ups, with the two of them still there, and they were applauded for it. What is it about hers that have people so offended? And don't say how many there are. There are tons of her songs that AREN'T. Who cares already.

I think because she started writing break-up songs before she was really formed as an adult. It’s like she never really matured as a woman.

She writes and sings about a variety of subjects as a 'grown woman'. What do you recommend she write and sing about?

Hunger, civil rights, racial justice, how to be a better person, how to forgive, climate change, fearing something other than being a bad lover, how people fit into the universe and the ways other people get treated cruelly (not just Taylor), gun control and the fear not having it generates in children and our society, how someone struggles with depression, not just feeling anxious over loss of control, death.

NP. So if Taylor Swift doesn’t magically transform into Zack De La Rocha, she just shouldn’t make music?

Seriously -who wants to listen to that shite? I want to sing while I'm driving, not solve the world's problems.

Thank you. It’s ok for music to be fun.
But saying that she doesn’t tackle topics beyond her relationships is inaccurate. Here are a few ts songs that address your topics of choice:
gun violence/voting rights: only the young
forgiveness: innocent
depression: evermore, this is me trying, forever winter (suicide)
anxiety: nothing new, peace, castles crumbling, mirrorball, the archer, never grow up
grief/loss: bigger than the whole sky

I could keep going. Yes, I’m a swiftie (obviously).

“You Need to Calm Down”

"Soon you'll get better" Is probably one of the first songs the made me tear up. Taylor just has a way with lyrics. I'm not a fan of all of her songs, but she covers such a wide range of emotions and topics it is easy to find one of her songs that sticks with you.

I agree. Her lyrics are clever and poetic, and she seems to enjoy finding just the right word.

Once she said that her favorite lyric was “I’m a nightmare dressed as a daydream.” I might have the precise words wrong but you’ll know what I mean!


PS: She also drives me nuts with the over exposure. I love her music and also need to take breaks from hearing about her or listening to her music.

I didn’t know the story behind this song. So sad. Wow.

Solo travel around the world via her private jet, like it's a personal uber. So gross. Climate change rules for thee, not for me.
