Taylor's music is not bad enough to catch this much hate in the comments lmao

Fucking contrarians

We get it, you only listen to good pop like Bjork 🙄

I listened to her earlier stuff when I was a kid, liked some of it, definitely a lot of earworms, but I tried listening to her new stuff when the gaylor stuff was hitting a fever pitch and it really didnt do anything for me, its just not my style I guess

its fine to like popular music, it's also fine not to. there's a lot of contrarianism out there but people also just have different taste and I see no reason to assume its all just contrarians not people who just legit dont vibe with her music

Most of the songs I like from her are also based on nostalgia. I don’t even like her as a person lol, but it’s weird seeing people get up in arms about the fans being weird as if this is a new phenomenon. I can definitely imagine all the grumpy people getting mad because everyone is screaming over Paul McCartney in the 60s lol. Like chill. These are just kids trying to savior the last remnants of free time and youth before it falls to shit

I feel like this is a new phenomenon though? I grew up with Taylor Swift, like I was in 8th grade when the Kanye VMAs things happened, and I definitely remember her being a huge artist and a lot of people being into her, but on this level? Like Beyhive, Barbz level, defend her to the death stans? That I don't remember.

Boy bands and even single acts have gotten crazed fanbases since the 20th century. And K-Pop bands/stars have that in the 21st century.

Taylor Swift definitely wasn’t an international, influential celebrity back in the day, so yes it’s new in that sense. But I was referring more to this type of celebrity and fandom in general, which isn’t new.
