So you couldn't find not one white singer to discredit huh?

Ummm... probably not one as big as Taylor Swift. Beyonce is the closest parallel.

I think she is a physically very ugly girl who surrounds her self with beautiful people hoping it will rub off / she will become beautiful. But she just isn't.

Let's see all the people who think Taylor Swift is ugly post their pictures of themselves so we can all judge. Pure jealously.

How can anyone think TS isn't beautiful? She is talented, brilliant, beautiful, and a total success. What anyone thinks of her is irrelevant. How she is as a person has no bearing on how she is as a business person.

OP - you're hilarious! I love that picture of her in the satin and black lace outfit with glossy lips! Perfect.

So what you're saying is that pop stars sell us a version of themselves that's not real because they know the illusion is better than the real thing and will make them gobs of money?

How novel.

LOL, OP and other posters who have negative things to say about TS. All the energy you are throwing at her (yes, even the hate) just makes her more successful and powerful. If you are teenagers, all is forgiven. Any one else older than that, seriously, get a life.

I think she is pretty obviously straight. She would have no reason to stay in the closet. Karlie Kloss also has a long term boyfriend.

I do think she is disingenuous and I do not like how she portrays herself as the innocent, nerdy, uncool outsider who has no friends and is always treated badly by men.

She has an international posse of glamorous supermodel girlfriends. She has dated some of the hottest and most popular guys in Hollywood. She also, isn't the "sweet virginal goodgirl" she portrayed herself to be in her early work where she would shame other women in her lyrics and videos for "stealing" her guys or sleeping with them.

She is now the "bad girl" she built her career singing about. I am also offended by her loosely throwing around the term "feminist" and applying it to herself and her brand. It is very inaccurate. Again, she built her career on singing lovelorn songs about boys, throwing other women under the bus for their sexual activities and now she claims to be a feminist?? Even in her current reincarnation, she produced the awful "Bad Blood" video where she uses her army of model girlfriends to intimidate her other female enemies. Throwing women against each other? W.T.F?

She is so petty and immature. She is wicked smart and comes from major money. So she is untouchable.

Im really surprised a woman of her generation has to stay in the closet. Is it because she is marketing to mostly preteens? Wouldn't it be good for our younger generation to see someone being proud of who they are?

And they believe it. Make up whatever story you want about celebrities- these people totally buy into it.

She's fake?

O M G.
I'm ......crushed....

*quiet sobbing*

She is incredibly successful and hard working. So what if she is ruthless in some ways? No one blames ambitious men for their success or calls them disingenuous. She's not really my cup of tea but I get why my DD and her friends like her.

That being said - her narrative of the awkward outsider, country singer turned sensation is completely calculated and fabricated. Here are two articles about her background:

http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2011/10/10/you-belong-with-me?currentPage=all

That is why the country music scene has been particularly cool to her complete transformation to a pop star.

She was definitely cheating onnCalvin. Which to me just blows her whole persona. I loathe her though so that could be just me.

You're kidding right op? She wears one sexy outfit and you get all up in a huff? Are you the same hateful person who starts all of the I hate Kate posts?

Her first video was obviously dramatic. This is not who she is. It was a video. The second picture you posted was her showing her love for cats. She still likes cats do I don't think she's ever changed that.

So she hangs out with her friends? She's not dressed as provocative as you would think. She has quite a bit of friends and if she was truly horrible I don't think she would still have so many friends.

I think she is classier and less trashy than Katy Perry or most.

Lighten up op and find a different hobby.

She's always been fake. This isn't a change. It's obviously working for her.
