Hey, what if SHE wants privacy? The fact that she’s a person with agency seems to be missing from all this rampant speculation and desperate digging for evidence that a desire for privacy is weird and deviant...

Ive had tickets to this tour since before Christmas. I am counting down the days to her show in Atlanta in August.

Come back, Taylor! Everybody loves you but Jezebel!

Safeguards from what? And profit off what? a story that doesn’t belong to anyone? I think I view the problem in Hollywood as one where we need more diverse voices telling stories, so I want more women and POC to have access, at all levels, and for men to stop acting like pigs to actresses and women they work with.…

Judge away! Who died and made you the arbiter of good taste?

Fucking THANK YOU. She absolutely didn’t clear him making a replicate of her naked body and placing it in bed alongside a replica of his body (with her naked top half showing); and she’s not the only woman he did it too, either. Why does no one care about this??

I don’t see much of a difference between what she did and his years of publicly humiliating other artists, like he did with Beck. Swift was playing the same game he does. In this case I don’t see how her being white and him being black is a factor.

I agree with you. I can’t get on the hate-Taylor bandwagon. She happens to be an extremely talented artist and businesswoman. I love her music.

But Reputation is already the best selling album of 2017 (in a week, no less) and her first single went to #1. She’s already out of the hole.

Except that isn’t what happened — he lied to her via a lie of omission. She cleared SOME of the lyrics — she did not clear his very personal, sketchy ones about her.

I’m really confused by it too. The tape showed she told a half-truth, not that she lied. It certainly didn’t exonerate Kanye, and its mere existence coupled with his lyrics at least indicates to me that in addition to being a misogynist he’s incredibly manipulative.

I honestly don’t understand how this aspect of the whole thing has escaped, like, everyone. He DID NOT clear the lyrics he ended up using.

The idea that there is a correct way to deny being a rapist (if you actually didn’t do it) is laughable. It’s as stupid as saying there is a correct way for a victim to act. If he is innocent, then he is the victim. I have no idea who is at fault, but I find this to be a perfectly acceptable denial if he is telling…

“Pinterest poetry” is, and I say this as a fan, her whole brand.

always weird to me when journalists choose to cover someone and then write that they are desperate to be relevant. if they weren’t relevant... you wouldn’t choose to talk about them?

...Because she’s releasing a single?

Oh, come on. Are people demanding that every business put their marketing plans on hold because there’s a lot of shit going on in the world right now? Do you really believe that what was certainly a very intricate and very expensive marketing plan for her record was altered because she’s jealous of...what,…

I love how everyone would have loved the new single, but Taylor’s *not hot* right now so they hate it. When it’s her time to be hot again, I can’t wait for the article on “why did everyone dislike LWYMMD when it was first released?”

Yep, there is a LOT going on in that video. But of course to some people it’s only slamming Kanye and ripping off Beyonce (because Beyonce invented people wearing black clothes and dancing in a line)

Why do people interpret it as playing the victim, I interpret it as you done pissed me off and woke up the hulk (TS version).
