The writer doesn’t seem to be saying that she chose the date on purpose, but is reporting that some people on Black twitter suspect she did. Personally, I highly doubt it.

Well, everyone tends to think that because it’s important to THEM, it must be as important to everyone else. You know, like Game of Thrones. 16m people out of a nation of 320m people watch it, but to those GoT people, that means EVERYONE watches it.

Whitesnake would very much like to be excluded from this narrative.

Apparently Taylor has a special calendar marked with the significant dates of anyone who has ever looked at her cross-eyed, because that would be an excellent use of time and effort. (I mean, seriously, I’m gonna say that if you aren’t related to Kanye West and you know the date of his mother’s death, you have WAY too…

Whatever image she’s going for is a lot better than her “Who, me?! Golly-gee-wilikers, gosh darnnit!” persona.

I think it’s a stretch to say this was done on purpose. Just my opinion. But Black Twitter is gonna Twitter i guess.

What are you even talking about?

No, used to be Tuesday. Now it’s Friday.

Kanye’s mom’s death? Jesus you’re really reaching now. Do you really think Swift did any research into the specific day? This is all label driven.

Who keeps track of the day that someone else’s mother died?
