Discerning who the best people are to work with and evaluating the state of your management team are absolutely skills any successful artist needs. Not that she’s short on other skills she could be referencing.

Apparently the child of my grandmother’s buddy did something to help out Taylor Swift back in the day (managing or guitar lessons or something), and she “completely betrayed him and turned her back on him” (my grandmother’s words). At the time, she was probably about 16. I’m pretty sure you’re allowed to switch…

The music industry doesn’t give a shit about loyalty. If their current contract was negotiated before she was famous, there’s a 98% chance that it was screwing her over in some way or another.

I think she’s implying she can make decisions about what management team is best for her and that she can recognize when a partnership is no longer functioning.

I don’t know how the music industry works, but I would be incredibly surprised if she isn’t okay. She’s already established, and she’s so talented that it’s literally coming out her pores. She shits talent. She is talent incarnate. I think she’ll be fine.

(And she’s right, some of the things people said were incredibly…

“hey men - don’t underestimate my skill” – words that ought to be every woman’s life motto.

“...and nurtured her from schoolgirl to superstar.”

You can be my advisor when I become Khaleesi of White Man’s Land.

They are going to put Shailene Woodley in this, aren’t they?

I never thought she’d make it to college

I’m sure he’s putting a lot of effort into contraception... to be harder to obtain, of course.

Single parenthood really isn’t stigmatized for men, first of all. We demonize single mothers, but we treat single fathers like heroes.

I think destigmatizing single parenthood and encouraging adoption agencies to adopt out to (good, stable) single dads is a great idea.

I would feel bad for a man if he got a woman pregnant and he wanted to keep it and she got an abortion, but I honestly wouldn’t feel all that bad and I would ultimately be on her side.…

When you can change how dangerous and uncomfortable pregnancy and childbirth can be, then we can begin to have a conversation about this. Until then, you don’t get to make my medical decisions for me.

Obviously this man is whackadoodle. But if I was a man and I got a woman pregnant, and I really wanted the child and she didn’t, but I was willing to pay for medical expenses and be a single dad, and she was still like Fuck you I’m getting rid of these cells. Thats her right, but that’s really going to make me feel…

This guy, amirite?

I loved Roger originally thinking that Shirley was leaving because “we all hate Carol”.

OMG my fiance and I just got that manual from his family priest! Along with a card reminding us about the importance of procreation. Boy howdy, was that a difficult thank-you note to write.

Holy shitballs. That picture is epically horrendous.

This. Bridal showers are for gifts off the registry. Weddings are for $$$$$ Although, I got a really nice cat tower (it was on our registry!) from someone as a wedding gift and I really appreciated it because no one else wanted to buy us cat things, even though half our registry was cat-related. We already live…
