Clarification is important. It is a vile act in any case, but the distinction (“Syrian refugee kills woman” vs “man murders partner”) makes a difference in the lives of other innocent people.

You can’t out mean girl the Kardashians.

I actually have no idea which Tay video robbed Single Ladies, only that Single Ladies was robbed.

Yeah, I admit as much as I’m enjoying the controversy I didn’t think the video was actually that big of a deal. It’s not like it was leaked footage of her going on racist rant or something truly career destroying. I’m sure she’ll recover just fine from this, but in the meantime I’m reveling in the backlash.

I agree with this, and I don’t think anyone would have paid attention if he had said this any other way. I’m not saying this was *exactly the right way* but no one has forgotten it. It was bold, weird, rude, and effective.

I think the fallout from this has been a long time in the making. She’s overexposed and has annoyed so many people to no end that all she needed was one public slip up to finally get called out. The backlash is much bigger than the feud with Kanye. It’s the result of five albums and eight years worth of backbiting and…

That's what I thought too. She managed to appeal to almost everyone with the cats named after Olivia Benson, the feminism light, the gifts to random fans, etc., etc. but now there is both this and the Hiddlefake-fiasco. It's a little weird that she missed the mark so badly when she used to hit them with olympic…

I have no interest in Taylor’s music, but I kinda want to see what she comes out with next. I feel like her entire songwriting style is gonna need to be reworked. There’s no way that she’s ever going to get away with those backbiting lyrics now after finally being called out and publicly slammed.

Hateful? It has honest. It was like Charlton Heston getting up on stage and screaming “Soylent Green is people!” and everyone is so mad at him. And then years later when Taylor gets caught on camera saying, “I’m Soylent green and I’m made of people,” you go and get mad at Charlton Heston again.

She believed her own hype. Because the Taylor versus Kanye story always went her way in the past, she thought it would continue that way.

She over-played her hand and underestimated her opponent. This was always going to end this way for her. Always.

The only time I haven’t supported Kanye was when he revealed himself as a Cosby apologist but other than that, I overlook the egomania. If it were a white musician with that bravado, most people wouldn’t bat an eye. And it’s not like Kanye doesn’t have the work to backup his claims of greatness, his music is…

Taylor needs smarter people advising her. If she had just feigned disinterest over Kanye’s song, no one would have cared. But she had to keep going with the Miss Innocent act and now she just looks even more ridiculous.

I'm team Kanye for life.

He has a 100% rating from NARAL, genius.

He is *not* an anti-abortion candidate. He may be personally pro-life but he stands for choice in office. 100% rating from Planned Parenthood, 100% from NARAL.

“Still not an actual liberal. I’m so done with the Democratic Party.”

Just some thoughts that ran through my mind:

I refuse to believe that anyone actually buys this shit. I can’t accept a reality in which people affix pewter charms to their towels.

As will Ben Carson and Donald Trump, respectively; though in the latter’s case, it will be explosive diarrhoea, and exiting the wrong orifice as always.
