Do you think that if Britney wrote this instead of Taylor, she would have been lauded for shaving her head?
Is it more about the fact that Britney grew up without a strong support system, so she wasn’t able to express herself like Taylor even though the act of cutting hair was very similar and done for similar purposes: a young woman expressing herself.

Why has one earned a billion dollars and the other the scorn of society?
Why do you think that is DCUM?

Taylor really benefited the pop stars that came before her I think that that gave her a road map of things to avoid. I also think that she benefited from social media and the ability to have her own narratives and create mystery for the fans and media to follow.

I think that one of the biggest factors is that Taylor had to seemingly supportive parents who were independently wealthy and they eere not relying on her as their meal ticket. I think that they've had the money to invest in her and also help her make wise business decisions

I think Britney and Taylor motivated by different Taylor things I think Britney likes to be the performer whereas Taylor is more of a creator. Very emotionally connected to the songs that she wrote and wanted to have ownership over them which is why she really really lost all of her albums. Not saying this to criticize either person I just think they're motivated by different things artistically

I agree with a lot of what you say. I just think Taylor is given a lot of god-like qualities from her fans. I think Taylor should acknowledge other women who went through hell so she could have it easy and acknowledge her family made it easy as well. She is benefiting from a TON of privilege she has only just begun to understand. (At least in the Ms. Americana video). She irritates me for this reason- that she doesn’t understand how easy her road has been.

I disagree that Britney is just a performer. I just started listening to her book and she really wants to be more than just a performer, but in order to survive her childhood she had to earn money and be a performer. There wasn’t a fall back, she was in many senses the breadwinner of her family from a very young age. (At 9 she was entertaining in a restaurant).

I think Britney’s Everytime song and video are and example that she is a creator also. It is easy to be a creative when you have unlimited backing, and much more difficult to do so when YOU are a child supporting your family.

Because even though you are still a teenager >> you also are legally a full-fledged adult.

I think Britney could have made it work.
Her sister did at sixteen after all.

I think it’s so sad how after they parted ways - Justin made that mean music video portraying himself as being totally in love w/Britney the entire relationship yet portraying her as the one who deceived him causing the breakup.

It was so unfair of him to cry victim when he also cheated on her.
He used her + their relationship to successfully promote his solo career and it was so wrong.

Yep. And he let Janet Jackson take the full fall for the Super Bowl mishap. He’s a complete jerk who will use and spit out women but then acts like a nice guy.

When I watch the music video now, I can feel her pain, regret and sadness.

Great idea to have a baby at 19 when you didn't want a baby then and the guy you got pregnant with definitely does not want to be that kid's father - and he is cheating on you. What could go wrong?
