Aside from her music, Taylor Swift is known for her networking, especially when it comes to other female artists (big and small).  She is known to invite them on stage to perform with her on tour, show public affection towards them at award shows, incorporate them into her public playlists on Spotify & Apple Music, and make appreciative posts towards them on social media.

Now that we have come to the end of this list, there is one glaringly obvious omission: Carly Rae Jepsen.  I know some of you will argue that Ms. Jepsen is 'not big enough' of an artist to be acknowledged by Taylor publicly, but I don't buy that explanation.  If Taylor can publicly acknowledge the existence of Heidi Montag, Bonnie McKee, Ethel Cain, Melanie Martinez, Alessia Cara, Kim Petras, Tove Lo, Maggie Rogers, and Sky Ferreira, then why not Carly? Discuss, and keep it cute. :clack:

I'm still not over Taylor releasing Midnights on the same day as Carly's Loneliest Time :busted::rip: Taylor is a savage in that way, Midnights completely overshadowed any media hype or conversation Carly had. It was sad tbh worse than the Billie snub, in my opinion

Click on the link in that tweet, sis.  There's not a single CRJ song to be found in that playlist of Taylor's.  So either the link's fake, or Taylor deleted Carly's song from her playlist shortly afterwards, out of revenge.

She knew 1989 was outdone by Emotion and has remained petty since
