I don't think it was petty to her. It was a pretty traumatizing time in her life.

Yes but why bring it up after 8 years?

I bet she has a smart business team as her brand has been very successful but Taylor herself - probably average intelligence. She does not come across as anything more.

This is ludicrous

No, that is a different musician. He's a rapper. Probably also average intelligence.

Didn’t say it was fake. Said it was trendy to use.

Also the word has existed for decades and been used by psychologists - much like gaslighting. However it only recently became trendy and now everyone that wants to be seen as a source of knowledge or truth is rushing to use it.

No im a wine mom and I find it hilarious. I also think look at Taylor FINALLY having her adolescent angst come through trying to gain independence from her traps. You only find it insulting if you are a wine mom with no sense of humor.

Her adolescent angst has been coming through since she was 16. But now she is 34. Maybe time to move on from adolescent angst.

She knows that her fame has stunted her: she says in multiple of her songs she has never grown up.

“Sometimes growing up precocious means you never grow up at all”
“I never grew up, it’s getting so old”

In Miss Americana she says that people say fame means you freeze at the age you got famous and she thinks that might be true for her. She’s aware that she’s somewhat trapped in a path of irregular development; a lot of her more introspective songs are about how the cage of fame did that to her.

I don't think its just fame that has stunted her- I am convinced that she is neuro diverse- whether ADHD or something else. Her level of output/hyperfocus is super interesting and she's found a way to use it to her advantage. But also (and saying this as someone who really likes her), she seems a little emotionally immature and falls hard and fast (seems manic at times) while also having a super brilliant mind- a common sign of neuro diversity. I am not saying any of this in a negative way at all, her mind is something to be studied!

Agreed… I don’t think it’s negative or positive but it is part of genius. Her recent collator Aaron Dessner said in an interview that during the recording of the long pond sessions, that he, Taylor, and the rest of the musicians would be staying up till like three in the morning drinking. He’s like we drank a lot of wine. Then everyone went to bed and the next morning Taylor said she stayed up late and wrote like a bunch more stuff and he was just absolutely floored. He couldn’t believe she had the stamina to do that.

I think it is really rare.

She can write songs without including verbiage identifying one of her ex’s or specific people.

Except the reason Taylor has had 11 platinum albums and made over a billion dollars is because her songs are akin to reading her diary.
She’s willing to put in details others are not and that’s just one of the many reasons she’s still here.

It is quite scary. I was on a subreddit board for a reality tv show and the posters on that sub were quite terrifying. The people on the show aren't even celebrities and the show is very over storylined, produced, edited, spliced etc, and yet posters were having breakdowns in their personal lives over what they perceived to be happening and wanting to contact producers to have them help the cast they had decided were victims. They also were calling and harrassing cast members places of work and sending tons of hateful emails and messages to their workplaces and family members. Even when the liked members of the cast tried to tell them to stop and that it hadn't happened as they perceived, the posters were insistent that they were right and that they knew these people and what each one was really like and who needed to be brought down.

Crazed fans have been happening for a long time. I remember when the British boy band Take That disbanded in 1996, the government had to set up a crisis hotline for counselling support as so many fans were threatening to kill themselves. Social media has just made it ten times worse.

Fans were hyperventilating and passing out for the Beatles and Elvis long before 1996.

I know but social media has allowed these crazed fans to easily find each other and band together and campaign or target or attack en masse whomever they wish. Social media and its confirmation bias algorithm also leads to people getting worked up into a frenzy and seeing others who feel the same way makes them think their perspective must be true and justified.

Can you imagine how difficult it is for Taylor to find a BF? If her fans don’t like him, they attack. And it could affect their career not to mention their mental state. I’m sure that’s why MH was only a fortnight.
