My DH can’t stand her. I find her a little over the top sometimes but he absolutely loathes her. Thinks she’s super fake and trying to come off like “just a regular girl!” even though obviously she is not average or regular in any way. He has a thing about people downplaying their assets or good fortune to be likable. I get it, but she doesn’t bother me.
But I have a similar thing with Taylor Swift. Her appearance and demeanor read 100% as “rich mean girl from high school who made fun of other girls for having the wrong clothes” so when she’s like “I’m just a nerd hanging out with my best gal pals!” who all happen to be rich, famous, and equally beautiful, I get ver triggered.
I have never been able to articulate my disdain for Taylor before. Thank you for the gift of these words. I'll be sharing them with the Swifties in my life.

I get why people think that, because she has a very measured, calculating way of approaching her public image that can come off as disingenuous. I found the Oprah interview fascinating because it was so carefully orchestrated to do exactly what it did, which then leaves you wondering if it was a trick.
But I personally think she’s genuine— I think she loves her husband, that she wasn’t anticipating the level of vitriol in the UK press or the weirdness of the BRF, and that she has struggled with mental health as a result. I think she is just also a very guarded person who is sharing this info because she knows it’s the best way to control the narrative about her. It comes off as calculating (and is) but I think reflects her real experiences. I don’t think that makes her a narcissist.
Huh, I had more MM thoughts on this Saturday morning than I might have expected!
