So this was a genius maneuver by her PR people, right? By declaring that she planned to humiliate him they forced his hand to make a huge, public, douchebag countermove. Good for Kesha. Best PR she could get. Makes him look worse than the actual performance would have.

That sucks. I’m sorry. Also, that is an awesome song for the occasion. Go ahead and be as melodramatic as you wanna be; you earned it. Tomorrow it will be better.

Yep. This is adorbs. I loved him from American Idol - he seems like a kind person and spoke of his wife with affection. Seeing this, well, awwwww. Also she looks *amazing* and they look fun.

The Taylor love is right here y’all.

Welllllllll but Woody Allen’s an incestuous pedophile, so *that’s* bad.

I guess I just really cannot grasp what their religion is like. I came up a mainstream Protestant, and know lots of good people of faith, who love and accept others and do good works and try to live as Jesus lived, and I’ve never seen anything remotely like that in any “evangelical Christian” politician. I just... I…

Chris Matthews has openly loathed the Clintons forever. He’s a democrat, but by no means a Clinton ally.

I’m not convinced the Cruz Christianity is sincere. Did you see the raw footage of them praying at the dinner table? It looked like they had never done the “holding hands across the dinner table” before - they didn’t realize the girls arms wouldn’t reach. Nah, I think Cruz likes to come home after they’re all in bed…

Pop lip. Weird choice.

OMG those boots. I’m wearing 6" duck boots right now, been on my feet doing a store demo for hours, crummy arches and all. Later I’ll tromp throug sheep poop to look for lambs in the dark, same shoes, then hose them off and head back to whole foods again in the am.

That's why I'm in these sweat pants. #livefreeordie

Amen. It's so weird comparing the vitriol against TS in the comments with the open admiration for Billy Joel in other threads.

With the sound off that clip is kinda hot.

My grad advisor got in a bar fight while Billy Joel was playing in some NJ dive when they were all kids. Chairs smashed, possibly broken bottles waved around. I may have embellished the details but idk, my advisor was bad ass. In my brain version Billy Joel keeps playing, ducking down when a chair flies overhead.

Yaaaaaasss yes yes I agree and thank you. You hit it exactly. Dismissing women’s accomplishments - it’s been done to me, probably to most of us? I would really love to be super pretty and have rich parents. Maybe be a Kennedy, or at least a Ralph Lauren ad. I’m not sure I’d have done anything particularly amazing with…

White thin and a rich daddy goes a long long way, that’s true. But it doesn’t make you the most successful pop star in the western world.

I disagree. It’s not normal behavior for a boy to continue hurting someone who says they’re being hurt. It’s the behavior of a predator who intends to get something nd doesn’t care about the experience of the object he’s using for it.

Thousands of rich daddies set up their daughters every year. It’s kinda crazy to attribute Taylor’s success to that. She works her ass off and she’s made of blazing discipline. You don’t have to like her music to be realistic that she’s literally the most successful pop star on this side of the planet, and that's on…

He skipped over the whole of her childhood and adolescence actually. Mia Faroe adopting her and raising her doesn't exist in his narrative, nor him as her father figure in that time. She was a street urchin, then she was his girlfriend and then his wife. And his self congratulation for all the wonderful things he’s…

I have a very active, health conscious friend who was caught up in the “mostly eating bananas” diet. She looked like hell. Sallow, bad skin - I hardly recognized her. Meanwhile she wouldn’t shut up about how great it was to just eat bananas. She got over it thank god. I’m going to place banana-arians in the upper…
