[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think so weird how people are like I can’t relate to what she’s singing about, why is she still singing about Break ups and falling in love? Those times are so fleeting in our lives that sometimes a good song like that reminds you what it’s like to be “Down Bad” and bring back those feelings of nostalgia. If not that we relate to it now, but it brings up old feelings and that’s not necessarily a bad thing![/quote]

Those times are clearly not fleeting in Taylor’s life. They have been a constant since she was a teen.

If people acted normal about Taylor, none of this would be a topic. It’s the crazy obsession that is bizarre. It’s the death threats and threats of violence sent to article writer who critique her. It’s the hyperventilating and crying over seeing a glimpse of her. It’s the insane amounts of money people pay and debt they will go into just to see a show. It isn’t healthy. It’s adults obsessed with a singer to the point that they lose all rational thought. [/quote]

There have always been crazy obsessive fans. I don’t think Taylor has any more of them than other big names.

You are conflating moments in peoples lives getting excited about Taylor and acting as if that is their whole life. I’m in my late 40s and have a teen and tween daughter. The 15-year-old went and saw her show last spring with a bunch of her friends and some of the moms. It was a huge event, people spent money on the show, hotel, merch etc, everybody was excited and it was a really fun time. I’m sure if you saw my daughter and her friends at the show, you might think they were rabid fans in that moment. They were really excited. But after the show they came home and they went on with their lives. My daughters like other artists in addition to Taylor, they are really into school, their sports, friends, And a ton of other things.

The mom’s text thread ceased to be about Taylor ever again and immediately got back to carpooling, sports, school, etc.

Somehow people were able to enjoy it, get really excited, get really focused on it, and then just go back to their lives. Like I said, I’m sure are some crazies, but that is always going to true.

To watch a girl scream over Taylor Swift, and then just assume she has obsessed for the rest of her life is an odd take. [/quote]

A pub just had to hire security because so many people descended on them because one of her songs mentions a name that is the same as the name of the pub. They are now booked for months and have had to replace much of their flatware and images and they are being stolen by guests. To their knowledge Taylor has never even been there. That is crazed and obsessed. [/quote]
