What’s more cringe - liking an artist, or spending a bunch of time commenting over and over about how you don’t like an artist? Cannot fathom devoting this amount of attention to discrediting someone or talking about how much I dislike their music.

I don't know. I personally haven't responded to any of the TS stuff here until now. I'd probably be making fun of Linkin Park and Korn stuff more if tons of people couldn't stop talking about them, but thankfully, most people grew out of it and moved on. I tried to understand the phenomenon of her but it seems like she's just got the celeb catnip thing dialed in real well in a pop culture generally devoid of anyone of quality.

Curious, what makes you think you are capable of assessing what is/isn't quality? Art is subjective. Evidence also suggests that your "understanding of the phenomenon of her" is your own, and that you're in the minority. But perhaps you find it trendy to hate on popular artists with your old gals sipping buttery chardonnay. Does it make you feel above it all and smarter than all of us? I'm not a huge fan of some other popular artists, but I would never ever suggest that their art (or other similar popular artists) is devoid of quality.

People with regular lives marry, have children, some with special needs, family illnesses and deaths, stressful or boring or underpaying jobs, career changes, relocations, money problems etc. etc. But that’s regular people. She clearly leads an extraordinary life and doesn’t have to deal with any of that day to day. Good for her!

She's clearly not happy with her "extraordinary" life.

I feel badly for her. She's in her mid 30's and stuck in a high school, perpetual victim mentality.

I share your concern.

She just wrote about you two! “God save the most judgmental creeps, who say they want what’s “best for me,” sanctimoniously performing soliloquies I’ll never see”

Sounds like she is dissing her fans who didn't like that racist weird ass Matty? She has bad taste in men.

I basically grew up with Taylor Swift's music. She's 34 and I'm 33. She's from Nashville and I grew up in Franklin, TN (~30 mins away). I went to several of her shows way back when after her debut album came out. I've been to all the tours. I'm a fan, etc, etc.

But the Easter eggs are getting to be too much to keep up with. I also wish she'd stop singing about high school or relating things back to high school. HS for her has been over for 25 years. It's time to move on.

Nope, I'm 44 and love them b/c I can discuss with my teen... makes for fun conversations.

I guess you don't get the point of "So High School". Also, unless she was 8 at graduation, she did not finish HS 25 years ago lol.

Preteens or younger. Teens don't listen to Taylor.

Wrong! many of the HS girls pulled an all nighter to listen to the double album and either skipped school on Friday or went in late – at least had our school.

In my neighborhood Taylor is a big hit with the elementary age girls and their moms and teachers.

Not much interest in middle school and definitely not in high school.

Eras tour attendance matched. Lots of elementary and then women in their 30s

That matches my experience. I know several coworkers in their 30s who took separately to their daughters to the eras tour shows and counted down to the album release. The daughters are all in elementary school.

Are you saying all the Swifties are a bunch of 9 year old girls? The concerts were sold out and tickets hard to get but nobody goes anymore, right?

Yes, Sold out to 9 year olds and their moms.

I’m a HS teacher and lots of my students went to see her in Philly last year. Seniors, juniors, mostly girls.

+1. There are not enough 9 year olds and their moms to sell out this would your and make it the highest grossing of all time.

My high school daughter and her friends went, and a ton of women in their 20s and 30s who I work with went as well.

Because she's emotionally stunted.

Because they had been going back and forth since 2014 when no it was first rumored they initially dated.

Because she wasn’t getting what she wanted with Joe and was love bombing her and promising her it all.

Because she and Joe broke up and she sunk into the insanity of depression most people experience with the loss of a long-term relationship.

Because she took a well-known cure all pill (aka the immediately rebound) with Matt thinking he would give her all he promised and then he ghosted her.

It is going to win Album of the Year.

She just wrote about you two! “God save the most judgmental creeps, who say they want what’s “best for me,” sanctimoniously performing soliloquies I’ll never see”

Who cares! This quote just highlights how very adolescent she truly is. The psychological crisis of a teen is independence - at 34 Taylor
Is still fighting that battle.

Dp- the lyric highlights what a good lyricist she is. And that she’s got your number.

But I just don’t care what she thinks of me. I AM a wine mom. I DO begrudgingly contribute to her lifestyle because my kids listen to her, AND I don’t care if she and I don’t get along.

Anonymous wrote:I also don’t think the timing is good given she is touring other albums but since this one is all about Matty, the longer she leaves it the weirder it gets that she is still pining over him.

The whole point of the album is to leave all that in the past.

It sells which is all she really cares about. Kind of cringe watching you 30+ y/o ladies lap it up. Like dudes who still listen to Linkin Park or Korn.
