The bey fans are just as insufferable as any other fandom especially the swifties so the high horse is As if every artist that y'all stan doesn't care about BB, bffr

 

Of course there's a pivot from just admitting this was gross

If you just looked at the first page you'd see two Swifties mentioning Beyoncé/the Hive in back-to-back posts, not the other way around. One complained that the Hive aren't part of this fictional group project against Billboard, and the other stated that Beyoncé has somehow attached her name to Taylor because an article writer said it would be better for Taylor to lose AOTY to Beyoncé in a completely different article that has nothing to do with the topic.

 

Once again, Beyoncé has nothing to do with this topic and the 'insufferable' Bey fans didn't attempt to insert her into the discussion at any point. Why are you all incapable of focusing on the topic at hand, instead of using it as an opportunity to attack the Hive?  But it figures you would like the comment denying that the Hive is being subjected to racist abuse because of this utterly irrelevant list.

Jobs or parental guidance are needed

I think in 30 years people will look back and wonder why the Famous video was even allowed.

Interesting comments in here 

 

But if we call someone a flop it's "swifties hate women!!!1!1!11!"

Welp, I guess certain choices make more sense now. That video is disgusting.

They need to apologise to all the artists.

 

 

Why is mentioning something a bad thing now? Especially things that are unavoidable in something's overall life / career

[Outlaws]

If they are so disappointed, they should stop the mass buying so she stops charting on BB  

[Mikeymoonshine]

How did this even happen though? I don't see how it could have been a mistake.

Jay-Z's check included that.

She's the Chief Brand Officer (aka marketing) not CEO. not that it makes it much better

It's crazy they put a snippet from the Famous music video. They probably know some newer fans wouldn't recognize it and could get mixed up

There is zero need for a music & charts publication to be bringing up such traumatic events & negativity, in the context of honouring one's personal career achievements as they pertain to music.
 

Terror attacks? Domestic abuse? Revenge porn? Incredibly disrespectful & unnecessary.

Nah swifties will take pride in Taylor achieving massive undeniable success despite the billboard writers crying and wishing it wasn't true lol

But is Billboard really over? 

[Velvet Night]

**** Billboard! The apology is just so pathetic. They knew EXACTLY what they did choosing that clip, there's just too much alternative material to have used this clip by accident.

While is maybe true, the video had to be
approved by multiple people before posting. A large amount of the Billboard staff has to be extremely misogynistic garbage.

The apology is bs because they're downplaying it by calling it a "clip that falsely depicted her". That was revenge porn, plain and simple!

well I haven't been posting enraged comments. 

 

The clips terrible but the people compiling the billboard charts are completely different from the writing staff and media team.
