I also think a big factor is her audience getting older. Isn’t she being invited/attending their weddings more often than school dances and proms like she used to? I can see a 15yo pressuring their parents to buy them $200 tickets but I don’t know many 20-25 year olds who will part with that kind of money for a cute…

Releasing a crappy album didn’t help either— I’ve never been a fan of her but her previous efforts were filled with pop earworms... see also Perry, Katy.
I think the reality is, Kanye told her about part of the song, not the whole thing (and the phone calls seem to confirm this), he didn’t necessarily do that intentionally to mislead her, but she felt mislead and reacted. I think Kim missed the nuance of Taylor being ok with some of it, but not all of it, and felt like…
Taylor’s tour has been struggling to sell tickets and that album pretty much came and went. Kim K’s Snapchat exposure of her duplicitousness (along with that disaster of a PR relationship with Tom Hiddleston) may have had a bigger effect on her star power than we realized at the time.
He’s not a snack, he’s an entree
Because my happiness is clearly more important than anyone else’s. Duh.
Why? Clearly a very specific part of their brains match up and, in my experience, that is critical for long-term compatibility. I say congratulations to them both!
Because she has a personal and professional relationship with him that has brought her acclaim and money. To acknowledge that he’s a child sexual predator would reflect badly on her and her legacy, and she simply cannot have that. I have to say, I don’t know who these actors think they are, or how important what they…
I really hate when she says “it should be dealt with it court”, the reason it wasn’t tried in the first place was bc they didn’t want to put Dylan through he emotional trauma, not bc they didn’t believe her, they actually did believe her. And if I was Cate that alone would be enough for me to never work with him…
About time. I’ve been hearing shitty stories about how the USFS treats women for 40 years.
He never flew under the radar though. If it wasn’t marrying Aaliyah when she was 14 or Jim DeRogatis exposing him in 2000, the dude had a legit trial for this.
Let’s see how many #MeToo tweeters are now also tweeting #MuteRKelley
“...as white as the whitest thing you can think of right now—a fresh Google doc page, the Chainsmokers, a gentrifier wearing Lululemon while dabbing and eating an avocado.”
I hope this shit gets smashed over and over and over again. The school’s attempt to sanitize the situation and turn it into some optimistic bullshit is disgusting. Women don’t need to be memorialized, worshipped, turned into super heroes or pillars of strength they need to not be fucking raped, beaten or killed. Fuck…
Close. Men generally don’t know how to write *male* characters who *have* been raped. That’s why male characters with trauma in their past always have been partially eaten by a bear or gone off to war. When sexual violation is part of their origin it’s the sexual violation of their wives or daughters. Masculine…
Lotta, lotta rape in Stephen King novels. Just off the top of my head, Dolores Clairborne, Gerald’s Game, The Wasteland, Rose Madder, Big Driver, It Grows on You, Wizard and Glass. It’s almost as if men don’t know how to write female characters who haven’t been raped.
I really want to find additional information so that I can reference it. I’m not sure if 70% is accurate, and it upsets me that I cannot be precise.
