I think Taylor is just as uncomfortable of the media hype as you are. That’s probably why she’s always drinking. I would feel anxious too if the cameras were on my face incessantly . |
You’re kidding, right? She’s been in the spotlight her entire life and pays for the PR. But clearly people like you lap it up. |
I don’t lap it up and in fact was critical of her staged photo backstage with Celine. It’s obvious she has PR but so does every other entertainer. It seems to me people want to knock her down a peg just because she’s very successful, has friends , is friendly , and is in a relationship. It’s not her fault she’s not a grouch |
Didn’t start as early as Beyoncé’s kids.. |
I agree with this as not a TS hater. Heard a really good interview with Reese Witherspoon ages ago and Reese just knew intuitively that the downfall was coming from a high in celebrity. They just have to coast it and not get canceled I guess. |

I was like why would I want to shop like a billionaire and litter the world with jet fuel and plastics made from child labor? |
I do agree that people want to knock her down a peg but I actually think this is a good instinct. When people are at that level, they get big heads. Being a billionaire should have its own entry in the DSM. I think it's healthy in our society that when we see someone becoming extremely powerful and popular, there is an instinct in many people to criticize and pick them apart. I'm sure it's not fun for the person but I think it's good for society because it can help prevent cults of personality, fascist dictators, etc. Skepticism, criticism, and judgment are guards against this. When I encounter people who think Swift (or Elon Musk, or Donald Trump, or Jeff Bezos, or Oprah, or whoever) can do NO wrong, I just think "oh, you're dumb." Of course they can do wrong. They are human, and they are humans with an outsized amount of money and power. So yes, people instinctively want to take her down a peg. I'm sure it sucks for her, I'm sure she'd rather just be having fun and getting no criticism. But guess what, if she really wanted privacy and less criticism, she could have it. Tomorrow. She doesn't want privacy. She wants to be very public and ALSO beloved and un-criticized. This might be understandable, but it's unhealthy for society, so tough $hit. |
I didn't read the last 32 pages. Did y'all talk about Blake Lively in her crop top and off the shoulder jacket? I think she's almost 40 with 3 or 4 kids, and that look is more suited to a teenager. Yes, I know a woman at any age can wear anything she wants. |
+1 It's disconcerting that that shtt website had money for a commercial |
Well said. |
It was the over-the top gold jewelry that was distracting. |
It looked bad to me, like she was trying to look out of a 90s rap video. |
I think it was aimed at young people but even my teens hate it. |
