Criticizing Taylor's work is always fair game. That's how art work. It doesn't matter what else you do -- many artists have done a ton of charitable work or are just very exceptionally good people, and they will still get critical reviews (by professional critics and by regular people) because that's the gig. You have the privilege of sharing your artistic work with the world, and letting them receive it as they will.
The random criticism of her relationships or just hating on the way she looks or just vague attacks on her being washed up or middle aged or fake or whatever... some of that is mean girl behavior but it's easy to ignore.
But criticizing her music or her videos or her dancing or the concept of her album? That's always fair game.
Disappointed in this album. She comes off as an insecure mean girl and unconscious racist.
DP. I thought I was the only one who noticed the latter but a lot of people on Reddit and X said the same thing. I think it’s probably normal for her to feel a bit insecure when her fiancé has ever only been publicly linked to black women. The savage reference is particularly weird because Megan Thee stallion allegedly rejected him.
People on reddit and Twitter always think everything is racist. There's a line about an onyx sky or something and they think it's racist against his ex.
Except she directly references the ex in the same song. And said herself that it’s about when relationships don’t work out.

She's talking about times were dark with that girl, and now they have created happiness. She surely does not mean to literally say "your ex was dark skinned and now you have me, a white chick."
The word onyx and onyx imagery are much more linked to blackness than the word “dark” but nice try.
That is quite a reach.
Agreed. Um, she’s coming out of her tortured era (onyx) and everything is Opalite, Travis’s birthstone (+ his blue eye color is all over this album). That’s all.

Yeah, I never get the criticism here. Any show, any book, any movie, any music we listen to it’s all about people figuring their crap out.
“ I’ve been in therapy for years and I’m finally figuring out how to own my own stuff and not rely on other people to meet needs I am responsible for meeting on my own” is great in real life but we want to see that journey not just hear about the destination.
This is not a People magazine cover story. It’s an album.
If people want to like her for her pettiness and vengefulness, I get that. I’m glad some of her fans are owning up to that because they used to berate/insult anyone who called her that. I guess they are maturing? I DO have a problem with someone who is consistently punching down and using vengeance as a platform being called a “good role model” for young girls. I can only see that being a plus if you want to perpetuate mean girl culture.
Anything Taylor does would be seen as punching down. She’s helped many of these young artists and they turn around and crap on her but somehow Taylor’s the one who’s not the girls girl.
Comments like these is why people think some of you are in a cult of personality.Whi the hell are these young artists she's supposedly helped ??? I swear some of you aren't capable of embarrassment .
I’m the person you’re quoting here and I’m actually not some massive Taylor fan but ok if you don’t think Taylor hasn’t helped, or tried to help, young artists.
Two comments from you on Taylor supposedly helping young artists and, inexplicably,you can't name ONE single artist she has 'helped'.

She doesn't help other artists. She uses them for clout. Sometimes she'll "share the spotlight" with artists like Ice spice or Lana del Ray, but she's not investing in their careers or putting them front and center. It's Taylor's world and she's always queen bee.

I agree with your assessment of her but actually think she's happy with Travis. Because that's who she really is. She's a basic b who just wants a big rich football bro to give her a honking diamond ring and treat her like a princess. This is also what most Taylor fans want for themselves.
Remember that Taylor was a heavily manufactured Nashville product -- it's not like she came up as an edgy artist. She's always chased trends and "edgy indie singer-songwriter" was one for her. It dovetailed with her Matty and Joe Alwyn relationships, and Taylor is the sort of person who is good at winning people over. But that's just not who she is.
She's a Midwestern UMC daddy's girl who wants the whitebred American ideal. Anything seemingly edgy about her was purchased, it's not authentic to her.
Is Pennsylvania the Midwest now?

What young artists has she helped because she’s a girls girl? She helped Sabrina because she was threatened by Olivia Rodrigo. Threatened by Billie Eilish. Obviously Katy Perry thing(who sucks so whatever).
She did help Charli, and look what it got her.
