No it doesn’t, but it should make her exempt from using victim-blaming language for a couple of months maybe!

I unapologetically love this. The song is good but not great (it will definitely become a work-out song for me), but paired with the video? Fantastic. No one is more aware of how the world sees Taylor Swift than Taylor. I loved when she played to her “boy crazy” media image in Blank Space and I love this. No victim…
Kanye literally commissioned a life-size mechanical sculpture of her naked body and put it in an orgy scene with a rapist and two serial abusers of women..................
The whole ‘singer creates alter ego’ thing is something I have never understood. I don’t stan for Taylor, but she’s certainly a savvy businesswoman who knows how to create a catchy hook. I also like a lot of her stuff off 1989 & gained respect for her responses during the recent courtroom shenanigans. Good for you,…
The video references the trial. The single $1 bill in the tub of jewels is referencing the $1 she was award in the sexual assault case.
Seriously, wtf is it with TS hate? She’s freaking 28 years old, she’s coming into herself as a person. And yeah, she’s channelling a different aspect of her personality. May I remind everyone that at her age Beyonce introduced Sasha Fierce?
Thank you. I’ve been struggling to find words for why all the “play the victim” talk is bothering me, and it’s this.
And those artists were referencing and those artists were referencing. I don’t like T Swift, but I’ve seen a flurry online about comparing stuff and vitrol about it is annoying. While sure it’s valid to think it. A lot of things have been done before 10x over and every pop star usually goes with fairly standard things…
I love it. Big pop stars laying down big production bucks to go full camp is the best. I still wish she picked a better phrase than ‘look what you made me do’ but visually I enjoyed this.
Confession: the more I hear this song, the more I like it. I don’t want to like it but the heart wants what it wants.
Holy shit am I tired of hearing the phrase “playing the victim” used about a woman who was literally just in a courtroom getting justice for being sexually assaulted this month.
And he wasn’t trying to injure anyone, he was using it to keep those Nazis from hurting others. It was a barrier.
The police response at Charlottesville makes me worried about how much they may have been compromised by white supremacists.
I have no problem with using photos from the internet to help identify these people in order to force/shame the police into investigating. But there is no excuse for people who use this information to stalk, harass and threaten people and the families of people who are identified online. It’s even more despicable…
Holy shitballs, I low-key like this song.
I haven’t been following this at all but through osmosis what I thought happened was there was a stir about the lyrics and Swift said she knew about the part about “might still have sex” but not “I made that bitch famous”, then after that they released a video about her hearing the first line, like she said, but not…
Taylor Swift seems like a nice enough person, and some of her songs are quite catchy. I don’t see any reason to dislike her or her music. DEAL WITH IT, HATERS.
Her attitude, that many women (gasp!) hate to cook and would rather spend time doing something else, was indeed revolutionary. It was also revolutionary that she gave other women instructions on how to minimize kitchen time and served those instructions up with hilarious snark. I’m not going to criticize her for not…
