RE Taylor. A radio station local had a poll asking if Idaho should ban her from coming here. (Commence additional eye rolling).
The amount of vitriol from WOMEN in the comments was staggering. Like here is a person who has had less than 10 minutes of air time during sports, is largely successful due to being a smart and savvy business woman, and is literally bring millions of dollars into communities and they can not handle it.
I need to move

jkjacq In defense of those of us who don't like Taylor, I am not like that lol. I'm just sick of ::waves hands:: all of this. I thought I was protected from her in politics threads but now MAGA idiots have ruined that too.

I need to move The rage is so weird about how much time she was on screen during the game. It was like 25 seconds in the span of a 3+ hour game. Also, it's not as if she's controlling the cameras that are panning to her. I also get a real kick out of all the "Dads, Brad's and Chad's" who are screaming about how she's only using him for his money, and he got a $70k bonus for his team winning and my dudes, she is a literal BILLIONAIRE. Like, she really doesn't need Travis' little bonus, but stay mad bros.

The more people get mad about Taylor, the bigger a fan I become.

I also don't blame her for being filmed at football games (though Eminem asked not to be filmed and wasn't at the last game he went to so there's that) but her oversaturation in all media is getting exhausting. To me.

To me. Absolutely. And for me it is more her fans than her at this point. I had a friend who was filming her reaction to the kissing on the field or whatever as if it was some long awaited reunion between star crossed lovers or something. Like, they've been dating for months? I think for me, people act as though I'm anti-woman or anti-feminist because I am not a Swiftie. Which is laughable. I just happen to care a bit more deeply about intersectional global feminism rather than rallying around a white woman who grew up rich and continued to get richer as she grew more successful. She's a talented artist, to be sure, I would never say otherwise. But I just want off the constant Swift vomit that is literally everywhere for me (probably due to my demographic and similar demographic of my friends on social media).

Also I will be legitimately shocked if she endorses Biden at any point. Part of the rub is that she only forays into political statements if they directly effect her or her brand. It has always been that way.
And I might be a tad too cynical but this isn't bad for her brand. And she likely has better security than most heads of state.
I also have a growing problem with the consumerism of it all and the multiple releases of the same thing leading diehards to buy buy buy which is both bad for the planet and dubious for ethical labor conditions.
I'm fun at parties.

I don't have a problem with Taylor herself. Some of her music is catchy and I'll listen to it on the radio. But the overexposure is absolutely getting out of hand.
I do raise my eyebrow at MAGAs accusing people of idolizing her. K, Cultists.

I saw a meme from MAGA complaining that “Biden’s biggest fan” Taylor and “Pfizer shill” Travis (because he promoted the vaccine when it first came out) are being shoved down our throats by the liberal NFL and media. They know there’s an off button, right? It seems boring to be so mad at everything all the time. I just really hope it comes back to bite them all in the ass. Pretty sure TSwift and Kelce have way more fans than Republicans who are slamming them who will be happy to vote against them.

I’m don’t, however, believe the NFL rigged the season to give her boyfriend’s team the SB so she could have that venue to do so. 🙃

I thought I was protected from her in politics threads but now MAGA idiots have ruined that too. I should have added a disclaimer. I’m not a swifty. My kid is but I couldn’t name a song of hers. I just don’t understand the hate. Like I don’t like a lot of artists. Say Kid Rock. I’m not on social medias saying he should be banned in an entire state.

I said to someone today, “you know no one makes you watch the Super Bowl?” I didn’t mean to argue, but everyone has a breaking point and I guess that was mine 😂

I am reading the senate won't likely pass it because it could help Biden in the election

Bluebird there was so much nastiness around masking here that I turned my mental list into an actual spreadsheet 😬 It was too much to keep track of In delightful news one of the people on my list (a local business owner and anti-school levy menace) is going to trial next week for illegal voting. He moved months before the election and voted at his old precinct. I'm hoping this is a play stupid games win stupid prizes situation. He turned his anti-levy FB page into a "newspaper", probably to avoid being "censored" and has made so many self-incriminating posts 🤦♀️Max penalty is 12 months in jail. I'm sure he'll just be fined if convicted, but after all his vitriol and public doxxing it would be a good dose of karma
