What bothers me about Taylor is that she is a 34 year old woman acting like she’s a doe eyed 19 year old.

Fortnight really sounds like a LDR song to me. The tune, lyrics, vocals … all of it.

Good god, she’s vapid and uncreative.
Why would any adult like this mediocre, untalented woman?!?! She’s a performer who can’t even dance.

After all these guys and being a "mastermind" she literally is telling the whole world to fk off so she can chase this loser who ghosted her. And now she's giving him the satisfaction of a whole album when they were just a literal fortnight. I am kind of shocked.
Did you miss the part where she said this upon its release the other day?
The Tortured Poets Department. An anthology of new works that reflect events, opinions and sentiments from a fleeting and fatalistic moment in time - one that was both sensational and sorrowful in equal measure. This period of the author’s life is now over, the chapter closed and boarded up. There is nothing to avenge, no scores to settle once wounds have healed. And upon further reflection, a good number of them turned out to be self-inflicted. This writer is of the firm belief that our tears become holy in the form of ink on a page. Once we have spoken our saddest story, we can be free of it.
And then all that’s left behind is the tortured poetry.

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!
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.
There are many worst things To be addicted to. I will take a Taylor Swift addicted America over alternatives.
I could not disagree more. You could be addicted to exercise (ie train for the Iron Man). Or in the case of Taylor’s target audience, you could be addicted to doing your homework and achieving. You could be addicted to cleaning or cooking or reading or knitting or playing the piano or swimming or basketball. I can think of a million better addictions than obsessing over Taylor Swift.
Being fascinated with such a mediocre talent is precisely what is ruining America.
Yet here you are, as captivated as anyone else. Joke’s on you.
