celeb news Taylor hangs out with MAGA Supporters at US Open - the megathread

[Peak Now]

Has someone mentioned "damage control"? If not, damage control, thank me later OTHs

 

 

[OrgVisual]

On one hand, it's kinda stupid to drag someone for who they are hanging out. On the other hand, Swifties have done much worse to other artists in the psst, so

And I thought all this time I was a Taylor detractor. Turns out I'm not cause everyone enraged by this is so ridiculous and it's giving second fanbase.  
 

And all this for a Kamala endorsement who is like the least evil out of the two. And everybody knows it's very likely she'll publicly support her at some time anyway.

Yes please abandon her so she can go back to making amazing music again and I can go back to listening to her in peace. Take variant memos with you too

It is so interesting for me to see how Americans DEMAND their celebrities for political opinions. I am baffled to see that how most people can not think for themselves and require people who have nothing to do with politics to tell them who to vote and what to think. I guess the American education system really failed y'all. 

 

Who T.S. associates herself with is her business, but nevertheless, it always looked suspicious to me that she pandered to the LGBTQ+ community when she needed us and she dropped us the second she did not need us. Everything about T.S. seems so calculated that I have no idea who she is, and what she stands for (or whether she stands for anything that is not profit).

With this PR girl, you don't know where her morals are at this point. 

 

Everything is fiction with her. 

[Bloodflowers.]

This is just weird behaviour, do y'all have nothing going on with your life than analyize who Taylor Swift (somebody you have never spoken with and never will) hangs out with during random sports events (that you don't watch)

 

Let's act serious for a second

I really don't understand her. I've always said that as much as I love her as an artist, I just can't get into her as a person, and I stand by that.

 

When she tries to show concern about anything outside her bubble it never comes off as genuine because you can tell her heart is simply not in it, she really does not care about anything that doesn't affect her, and it's sad.

 

I mean, on one hand it's the standard approach of a privileged famous person, what baffles me is that the person she portrays in her music seems distant (a lot more sensitive) from this one we see everyday. 

It's coz she is a mega narcissist. Everything and everyone that isn't her, is just an object/chess piece intended to maximise her popularity, visibility and wealth.

This isn't what you think it is.

 

If someone is friends with a Hitler supporter and is also friends with a left wing activist, it doesn't negate the fact they're willing to overlook the Hitler supporter's beliefs 

 

No need to be offended or desperate to prove otherwise that Taylor doesn't care about her LGBTQ and POC fans and people in general— she's welcome to prove otherwise herself but doesn't want to.

 

Of course she would rather spend her time denying dating rumours or denying being a lesbian than dispelling trump rumours.

 

She's more disgusted by the idea of someone thinking she could be into women than she is disgusted by the idea of people thinking she supports Trump

The twitter swifties being more reasonable than the ones on here is wild. You should be criticising your fave when they are objectively being shitty. Imagine if all of our faves came out in support of Palestinians instead of rubbing shoulders with Trump supporters and other rich ghouls. Wouldn't that be better? 

[CBC]

maybe that guy with a kkk cloak won't be kicked out of her concert next time

 

[Starfish]

That user who kept making threads about her imminent downfall must be experiencing several climaxes right now. 

[RideOrDie]

where are the 17 pages... @Teen Spirit

[modeblock]

Taylor, love your music girl, but you need to kinda whip into shape regarding these optics or stop pretending to be an activist - it's really annoying to be such a hypocrite when you say you hate them so much. 

[STMG23]

OTH right now:

 

[HASHTAGPOW]

PR damage control 

 

[Into The Void]

Sometimes people have to friendly with the opposing side. If ur boss was a MAGA would you tell them to **** off? I mean we live in a society where you will interact with both types of voters and you have to be cordial with them. People can put politics aside for real life.

[West Coast]

We will be streaming RED (Taylor's Version) to celebrate!

 

[Rv1709]

They're just setting up rep TV

Well good luck playing Run (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault) (feat. Ed Sheeran), sounds like a party for 1 and 1 only!

 

 

[Last Boy on Earth]

Between the stans doing damage control and the ones having absolute breakdowns and crying all over twitter this fan base is just SO embarrassing  I'm living

A normal person needing to keep their beliefs quiet to pay their bills is completely not the same thing....

 

Taylor is the CEO, a billionaire, powerful, connected... she doesn't need to do anything or be friendly with anyone she doesn't want to

Yeah as a swiftie I agree. Can defend endless variants of TTPD but cant defend her political choices or inner circles anymore. She is not someone who is needy, she is a billionaire and she has huge impact on GP.
