liking some of Taylor Swift's music means you have signed up for a lifetime of being embarrassed by Taylor Swift. that's just part of it

anyway my take as a longtime listener who has a love/hate relationship with The Taylor Swift Brand is that everyone seems to be forgetting her long tradition of writing songs that suck ass. you are not a real fan unless you can identify five songs that feel like nails on a chalkboard

all of this is fanfic. the novelists, the obscure films, Travis being a shallow empty meathead. you don't know any of that. you wrote a whole story in your head about people you do not know and will never meet
