I think the case with Taylor is her not wanting to offend anyone about politics while at the same time being an ex-nerd who was teased and thus is very sensitive to bullying tactics (I genuinely think her squadgoals/women who don’t help other women etc. thing is just a reaction to her (supposedly) being very isolated…
Yeah I like the people who were like “She’s too famous!” Um... you mean like Madonna, Cher, Katy Perry, Rihanna, etc aren’t? Like Helen Mirren marched in NYC. I wouldn’t have given a shit if I had seen Taylor Swift, but I would have died if I saw Helen! Haha. I peed a little when I saw Cher in DC.
Cher and Madonna were in DC. Rihanna marched in NYC...
Yeah he had to top it off with victim-blaming BS. Obviously she did not in fact know they were rolling tape. Even if he’s convinced she did, he should listen to her side of things and realize he fucked up communicating to her and made her feel shitty. Throwing her under the bus like that instead of owning up or at…
Taylor Swift is all about feminism when it’s beneficial to her career and deflecting criticism (and Tina fey jokes). That is it. That’s why people zoom in on her. I’m half suspicious that Katy Perry’s good deeds and activism are done purely as a middle finger to Taylor Swift.
i strongly disagree. we accomplished a huge deal this weekend.
I don’t know. I think that Beyonce has done a lot creatively and artistically to push feminism into the mainstream-specifically issues for women of color. She has really put it in our faces and isn’t afraid to be associated with the message. TSwift continually dips her toe into the pool, but usually when it best…
She’s not being criticised for the march in isolation. If she’d done other things like others have then she’d be fine. But she’s done nothing, ever. Of the people with the biggest platforms in American pop culture (and hers is especially prominent in red states), she’s the one that has stayed completely silent…
Now they have to pander even more effectively to his base. And no matter how fucking ignorant and dangerous her rhetoric was, their viewers will never see her as anything than a Black Lady.
I’mma let you finish, but I expect Taylor Swift to be present at all significant events, at all times, with Olivia Benson accompanying her.
Perhaps because Swift has been conspicuously silent and intentionally ambiguous about politics? She makes a great show of unity and sisterhood but the radio silence was loud. She’s concerned about losing her fan base, and is obvious about it.
It’s those Japanese potatoes, doncha know.
It’s because Taylor Swift looks like a mayo sandwich from Idaho.
yeah and like...clearly we didn’t need them to march with us. it was great that some celebs did come, but jesus look at what we normals can accomplish.
Ed Sheeran is terrible.
Fuck Trey. He should apologize to his long-time friend instead of trying to throw her under the bus. STOP DISRESPECTING BLACK WOMEN AND THEIR SAFETY/COMFORT.
I hope we will see Munn’s Instagram post in Shade Court. I’m inclinded to think it is shade, but I’ve been wrong several times before.
I used to keep a small Lego set on my coffee table. When people came over my house, they would always ask me what was with the Lego set on the table. Within 5 or 10 minutes they would be sitting there building trucks. It was very relaxing and constructive.
