LOL no no UPenn — I’m in my last year of law school 🤪 and apparently afraid they’re going to punish me somehow… Penn Badgley would’ve made this even scarier though 😭

Agreed 😭 Big bummer all around.

money and power corrupt. tale as old as time. and greed + a victim complex = one hell of a drug :/ it’s the conservative moment we’re living in. it’s art being in dire straits re: AI. it’s the embracing of society’s expectations to maintain supremacy.

“this album feels like a meme of a previous taylor swift album. and no, I do not think she’s in on the joke.”

it’s late stage capitalism, which she is VERY good at working to her benefit. it’s greed. it’s being out of touch. it’s desperation to stay relevant. no, I do not think she’s in on the joke

THIS!

“people are so convinced that everything she does is intentional, such that Swifties, clearly unhappy w/ the album, are arguing it’s intentionally bad. it’s camp! it’s performance art! it’s what we’ve wanted from her all along!”

this perfectly encapsulates the white feminism of a woman who, in choosing friends, only considers how someone treats THEM. uplifting brad pitt, dave portnoy, b mahomes & co, all these other maga freaks — after she screamed Me Too! the AI usage… calling women “bitches” after ALL OF THAT drama 😭

I just said this in another comment but whether this is performance, genuine, or somewhere in between — it sucks! It’s harmful and it sucks. I don’t know if there’s a world in which the curtain is pulled back, but even if there is, she’s done so much tangible harm. A billionaire is a billionaire

I have loved Taylor’s music since Debut. Her artistry has meant so much to me. And yet, there’s no world in which I’m not criticizing a billionaire who’s making making AI art, uplifting perpetrators of sexual violence, & romanticizing trad wife life in the midst of rising fascism lol

Trust that I am very disappointed, saddened, and frustrated by this downward spiral :/ I’ve been a fan since Debut. Whatever’s going on, whether performative, genuine, or somewhere in between — it sucks! It’s harmful and it sucks.

Well, I wouldn’t say it’s been sudden. More like since publicly associating herself with Matty, the Ice Spice of it all, and hanging around so many maga freaks + sexual abuser apologists for 2 years now. And complete political silence amidst rising fascism when the backdrop is Miss Americana :/
