[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Her family has great business sense.

She needs to pay more attention to melody and harmony and less attention to lyrics in her writing.  Her earlier stuff was enjoyable when she was more produced.

[b]I tire of the idea that the only way to express your femininity is through ice skating costumes and gowns.

She can’t dance.[/b]

She and her parents have done an amazing job with marketing and playing to her talents.[/quote]

[b]Odd take.[/b] 
If she likes what she’s wearing that’s all that matters.

She’s well aware she’s not a dancer. She has an entire music video poking fun at herself/her dancing. [/quote]

Of course.  In my “odd” mind, what she enjoys isn’t all that matters because she has entire bookshelves full of books for young girls and she is contributing to the idea that to be a woman is to be in thigh- high boots, sparkly gowns and ice skating costumes.

All of which can contribute to young girls developing a sense that what they look like is more important than who they are. Taylor is open about the fact that she had/has an eating disorder, but she seems a bit clueless what contributed to it and how her image can help or hinder the growth of self esteem in young girls.

YMMV of course, but that is my “odd take.”[/quote]

DP.  Not sure what enjoying fun and pretty clothes/costumes has to do with, well, anything.  She's expressing who SHE is.  Would you prefer she wear shapeless trash bags, a la Billie Eilish?  What kind of message does that send?  She's happy with herself and that's a message that ALL people should take to heart.  Be proud of yourself, who you are, what you look like.  She has a healthy, strong body that she should be proud of. 
She doesn't have to hide herself away to please certain people.  [/quote]
