Your comments are so delightfully batshit insane defensive!!! I am so bewildered that you read Mental Iceberg’s completely innocuous comment and were just like MEANNESS!!!

American living in the UK, I actually find people here have much better skin (lots of sunscreen? Maritime air?) and look young for their age.

It’s sad that your first thought was about your/her aging looks. It is OK to age.

I’m British and live in the UK.

Well thanks for liking that some women “let it be”, as I am one of those women.

So does this qualify as an international incident now? Since Obama can’t just order a British spy agency to do anything they’re pretty much accusing the British government of ordering espionage operations in the US.

When the Brits are openly emotional, you know things are bad.

Yeah, if we separate the TS content, I think you’re totally right. I just hate this whole “Celebrities have a responsibility to etc.” thing. It’s still just all ego. If they have a responsibility to do anything, it’s to throw their stupid amounts of money at things that matter. I’d rather hear in 10 years about how…

exactly! its not celebrities that we need its everyday people who care about the issues. stop acting like celeb opinions are somehow more worthy or valuable when honestly, their privilege affords them more peace and less of an impact when these shitty policies come into play. we should be asking our representatives to…

Unless Taylor Swift dropped a video that said ‘Get your ass to Wisconsin’ I don’t think it would’ve helped.

You think one of Lena Dunham’s friends, who half this site thinks is a lesbian, voted for Trump. I think that says more about you than it does her.

But who the hell is Lola Kirke?!!!!!!

Yes, but she won’t alienate her midwestern base. A lot of pop stars won’t, i.e. Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez haven’t made any statements. Beyonce incorporated political messages into a few songs and performances, but a lot of these stars don’t speak up.

Taylor Swift will not jeopardize reducing her fan base by taking political stands. Her constructed image is that of an innocent young ingenue, wronged by an apparently endless series of boys and evil rivals, and whining about it in songs with catchy hooks. This romanticized image would not fit well with someone who…

Beyonce [was] out there

Blame: Trump, The GOP, the DNC (what a serious clusterfuck, y’all - CHRIST) and Trump voters, NOT third party voters in the primaries - eh - (I are one) but in the GENERAL election? People who couldn’t be bothered... Fuckwads.

Yeah, Hillary lost the election because not enough celebrities spoke out.

I could care less whether T Swift or any other pop star calls out Trump. I would like journalists, Congressmen, and Governors to call him out, though. Too much to ask?

I have to disagree with her too.
