Wow, the grammar is hard to believe! Like idol, like fan. Your writing is like her mumbling.

Does anyone have the lyrics? What the **** is she mumbling about?

Adela? Rosalia? Doja? She's really not alone in being able to dance? I'm confused every time someone tries to prop her dancing up as if she's the only one, when it's the same exact moves every single video and performance.

Kelly Clarkson Store Drama: Kelly says store is lying; security footage released
As someone who has shopped here exactly once, I can say they come across as elitist, gatekeeping assholes. Back in April, I stopped in with a friend. The doors were wide open, and there seemed to be multiple people browsing. We were immediately made to feel unwelcome. They asked whether we had paid to be "guests" at their "event," which appeared to be some sort of adult tarot reading or magic show. We explained that we were just browsing, and both the man and the woman in the video that was released—where she pretentiously explains how the animatronic works—kicked us out and made us feel thoroughly unwelcome. I checked online afterward, and we had visited during their posted opening hours. There was no announcement that entry required payment or that the event was exclusive. It was a bizarre experience. I browse stores on Atlantic all the time, and I've worked at a much higher-end store on that same street. I've never been made to feel so unwelcome as a customer, nor have I ever seen a store make customers feel so unwelcome. They're rude people running an extremely overpriced adult toy store. They are not the victims here. I find it hard to believe they aren't entitled kids who grew up with immense wealth. I'm with Kelly here, based on my own personal experience. They made the hair on the back of my neck stand, very unpleasant people, both the owners I encountered there.

Is Taylor's backlash valid?
She doesn't have the talent to survive a hiatus, she needs to desperately saturate the market and media in order to stay relevant enough to maintain her fanbase or she will fade fast. She knows this. It's the same reason McDonald's releases new happy meal toys. Staying in the conversation can stretch dumb luck if you don't actually have a leg to stand on of substance.

Is Taylor's backlash valid?
Huh? People aren't showing up to her private jets with pitchforks and flaming torches. Her terrible music is just being reviewed accordingly and dunked on across the internet. I would say that the backlash is commensurate. If you "just" produce **** art for long enough, you are liable to get **** on.

What was the exact moment you unstanned a former fave?
I wouldn't say full fave, but I was misguided into thinking she was fine until: The racist vitriol she allowed her fanbase to spew at a 23 year old actress for months without ever raising her voice to stop it said all I needed to know about her. She waited till black history month ended, posted this fake as **** girlboss white feminist bullshit the first day of the following month. Taylor purposefully let her fanbase totally annihilate a young black actress in her first major roll. NEVER targeting the adult writers who actually wrote that line in the first place. All vitriol was for an actress just doing a job, making a frivolous joke Taylor herself had mad a million times. I knew from that moment she is trash. A woman who sees other woman as threats.

Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce invited Amentum executive and ICE contractor Steve J.
"In less than a year of operation, the facility recorded at least three detainee deaths. One of those deaths, Geraldo Lunas Campos, was officially ruled a homicide by the El Paso County Medical Examiner, who cited "asphyxia due to neck and torso compression" following a violent use-of-force incident by facility guards—a fellow detainee told the Washington Post that at least five guards restrained and choked Geraldo Lunas Campos while he repeatedly called out "No puedo respirar" or "I can't breathe." Another death was a presumed suicide, occurring amidst allegations that facility guards participated in a staff betting pool on which detainee would die by suicide next." This is what you are defending in the name of a mediocre singer, simply because you have invested too much of your money, life, time, and identity in her. I get that you feel like you're in a hole you can't get out of. I get that you think you are in too deep, but you aren't. She invited a fascist executive to her wedding, and he's not the only one. Joshua Kushner founded a predatory health insurance company and is Trump family by marriage. He, too, was an invite. You are fighting tooth and nail in the name of fascists and fascist sympathizers. Ask yourself why? You are fighting against yourself in this thread. You are defending the side that is actively against people like you!

Ok, so many problems with your post. First, only 22% of America voted for Trump in 2024, that's nowhere near a majority, that's not conducive to most Americans sitting at dinner tables with MAGA. Second, I'm not deriding Taylor for inviting a random republican voter, I'm condemning her for inviting the administrator of an ICE concentration camp. Even less Americans support ICE than voted for Trump. Analogously, It's the difference between a 1940s German person having a member of the party over for dinner, and Marlene Dietrich inviting Rudolf Höss to her very public wedding. Third: Beyonce, Ariana, and Sabrina being in the vicinity of deplorable republicans is not close to comparable with Taylor inviting a concentration camp manager to the most personal and intimate event of her life. If your defense only works by pretending these relationships are all equivalent, then it isn't much of a defense. No amount of false equivalences, straw men, or ad hominems will make Taylor's choice to invite such an abhorrent person to her own wedding any less disgusting.- Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce invited Amentum executive and ICE contractor Steve J.
The fact that the "smart" Swifties are the ones obfuscating this entire conversation is depressing. They aren't smart, just cowards. In contrast with her more rabid fans, who defend everything Taylor does with their entire chests, these ones go quiet. They pick at disingenuous strawmen, but run once the straw catches heat. Their silence when it comes to Taylor Swifts closeness to fascists is not neutral, their silence is an answer, their silence is an endorsement. The fact that Taylor Swift just married into a family with direct ties to Amentum, the company running the ICE concentration camp in El Paso, and her husband's childhood best friend is the son of Amentum's executive chair, whose other son is a republican state representative in Ohio, means those are the people sitting at the family table now, and no amount of deflection changes that, which is exactly why the "smart" ones would rather muddy this conversation than admit they're in a headlock. - Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce invited Amentum executive and ICE contractor Steve J.
