The squealy whiteness of it all is the funny part and it’s very enjoyable to troll

? But, this isn’t a strictly white thing. You can literally find crowds in Africa, Asia, Latin America, Oceania, and the Middle East of brown and yellow and black men over the age of 20 who cheer and dance and jump up and down and scream at the top of their lungs.

? You know life sucks right. Like, objectively, life is hard. We deal with governments that don’t care about us, diseases that ruin lives, war, famine, poverty, crime, financial burdens, etc. 
 

Entertainment, art, and sports are some of the few things that bring joy to people’s lives. They can be the absolute highlight of someone’s existence. It might seem cringe to you but if these people didn’t have games, matches, shows, concerts, etc to look forward to attending with a community of people who share similar interests we would be a bleak and dystopian society devoid of celebration, culture, or festivities.

 

I think the super cringe one here is you, because why are you recoiling at people being happy about something? Should people remain seated when they’re elated? Should they withhold their applause so you’re more comfortable with their joy?
 

Seriously, get over yourself. Get off your high horse and quit judging people who are doing nothing that harms anyone. 

Adults behaving like that is embarrassing to me. Feel joy and all, sure, but relax. Look at Coldplay concerts for Inspiration.

 

How Swifties are behaving is manic

“Enjoy yourself, but only in a way that makes me personally comfortable.”  Jesus Christ the insufferable egocentrism is at an all time high.
 

They’re literally in a space specifically made for celebrating without the judgment of that pompous, pious, judgmental pricks and yet here you are acting like one. 
 

The Swift fans in this video aren’t doing anything the Coldplay fans aren’t doing in those stadiums too. They’re screaming, cheering, clapping, jumping, shouting, dancing, and smiling. Tell me if you see otherwise cause I sure don’t. 

[PoisonedIvy]

Not to mention the countless videos of people literally FAINTING or shrieking or nearly wetting themselves when Michael Jackson or Beyonce just GLANCE at them. Like this is nothing new, this is nothing specific to Swifties, and it damn sure ain’t specific to white people. **** outta here. Pick another hill to die on

You have an account on ATRL. You ARE the embarrassing adult 

[PoisonPill]

I know that it's trendy to mock swifties and their behavior (I do it too) but I gotta say that in a world with so much cruelty and anger, its f*cking amazing that she has created a little universe where so many people (millions!) can come together and be joyful and feel good.

Cringiest thing I’ve seen lately. The previous one was also from these people.

I meant whiteness more as like a concept. Think pumpkin spiced lattes and Sara Bareilles 

 

And making the heart shape on the beach in front of a sunset 

[Iaintsorry]

I remember I followed along this era when this album came out but I actuallly had no idea ppl resonated blue with 1989

Love to see people experiencing joy.  We get so little of it in this world. 

But Is that joy or psychosis?

Have you never felt pure warm joy? I’m sorry. 

[mrpartyrocker]

Taylor is on her way to become the biggest artist of all times and whoever says no, is a complete delusional hater.

 

happy to see everyone enjoying moments like this, in an era where we don’t get any exciting pop moments, at least we have these to witness.

All these fans deserve to experience the concert inside the stadium too. I kinda feel bad they probably won't have that chance. TAYLOR DO A 3RD AND 4TH US LEG. 50 MORE CONCERTS. LET'S GO! 

She could do this tour for another 3+ years and sell out every single one.

[Steve Johnson]

Some of you have never attended a UEFA champions League final or FIFA final. screaming, cheering, meltdowns there are much worse or intense than this.

No tea no shade but I get a kick out of watching Swiftie reactions to just about anything she does because Ms Swift could literally do ANYTHING and they would freak out, gasp, cry, scream, say “I am DONE with Taylor Swift!”, etc. for example on YT I watched two girls literally say “oh my god her BREATH is different” in reaction to one of the TVs. It’s just kinda funny I’m sorry but nnnn

Jaisjssans true. Liek this is a 10 year old album

Those are just random things made-up by people who live chronically online and read Buzzfeed listicles.

she's so gonna run for president at this rate

The funny thing is that if she could win the Democratic primaries, she would EASILY win a general election. Not only would she get all the people who vote Democrat no matter what but she'd also get a MASSIVE amount of votes from younger people who tend not to vote. She'd be the most electable Presidential candidate EVER if she did it 

[Heartbreak Prince]

It’s so nice seeing how she makes so many people happy. In this currently political climate, it’s a blessing. I love her so much.

I mean, I love this idea but....

She's able to enjoy such widespread adoration and popularity because she unites people over things with generic mass appeal: catchy pop music about love and heartbreak, inspiring young girls and women, etc. Once a well-liked public figure enters the political arena they're forced to take polarizing positions and become the target of nonstop negative attacks, and their popularity typically plummets. She dipped her toes into politics once and endorsed a Democrat Senate candidate, and got a bunch of blowback, and she's pretty much stayed away from taking political sides since.

I don’t think I’ve ever hated a pop girl before, but Swifties are quickly taking Taylor there for me. This whole tour being so overhyped as something special when it’s literally just another tour like any other, and then every time Taylor breathes the Swifties sob about how she’s doing it all “for her fans.”  I almost feel bad for them because this parasocial relationship is clearly mportant to them, but they are so overbearing and… well, a bit dim.

A ******* NICKI MINAJ stan saying those things when the Barbz are literally one of the most INSANE fanbases ever. You really have ZERO self-awareness do you?

Not exactly the same thing. The candidates she endorsed were from a very Red state so it's no surprise they didn't win. Taylor herself could be divisive for some people, sure, but she would still easily win a general election thanks to younger people who'd vote for her in big enough numbers.

But seeing grown men/women act like that, no matter if its gay/straight/bi people, is super cringe. There's nothing endearing about people in their late 20s or older behaving like 12 year olds. Cmon now, grow up 

Ladies and gentlemen, after the age of 12 you must become a stoic statue who never expresses emotion.  

[Enrique523]

The way people on this site are SO pressed by Taylor and her fans will never cease to fascinate me. I don't think i've ever seen such unhinged pure delusional hatred for anything else in my life. Imagine how miserable you must be in life to be this negative over NOTHING 

 

And you just know that if their own faves were able to create this kind of mania, they'd be ALL over it. But no, it's happening to a pop girl they hate so suddenly it's bad

If men can do that at sporting events and no one bats an eye, Swifities can do it too.
