Labyrinth only gets a pass bc i saw her perform actual witchcraft to it on a grainy livestream

Ya know, you are also cooking bc i debated both of these songs lol

Like many in attendance, Red leaves much to be desired & I wasnt around for that album to form an emotional connection.

I would trade SOTB for almost any 3 am or vault track from Midnights bc it's just... meh

1. Fave on least fave is State of Grace

2. Least fave on fave is Snow on the Beach

Yes!! Like why are we doing this? Is it so Isnotreal won't get mad at Disney/Taylor? Is it being used as a tool to subtly point out what they're doing? Is it just apathy about a genocide? I want to know the thought process for including it bc my brain always jumps to worst case scenario first

So not only did they choose that clip & approve it for the doc (Taylor, Disney, etc), but they either did not look into it enough, did not care how it would look, or were hoping they could use SEO to push wider understanding. Either way, I don't think it should have been included

I'm not even upset about the fan inclusion. It took me off guard, but they were just happy about all the people they connected with from around the 🌎 which is great! The news broadcast from Tel Aviv is what has me heated bc apparently that newscaster is also a zionist/sympathetic to the cause.

Be careful calling it out publicly like this. I had others on here unfollow me the other day & subbloop bc they were upset people were critiquing her about this and making a big deal over nothing bc it was a fan saying it & a CNN reporter who happened to be in Tel Aviv (in their words) 🙄

I don't take them every weekend bc sometimes its nice to just rot but I absolutely take them if I need to get shit done or pay attention for d&d, which is most weekends these days 😂

This is why I keep holding on. All the queer & POC she surrounds herself with who all speak so highly of her is a positive sign to me. I am still critical of the methods, but I do believe she has good intentions

There was a CBS news broadcast from Tel Aviv (can be explained away bc he regularly does broadcasts for them about the area) & a fan at the last London show talking about meeting an Israeli fan.

It's not the content that is necessarily an issue & more the normalization of a genocidal state.

Idk maybe I am just in my feels & I'll delete this later, but I don't like seeing other gaylors subbloob about things I had a hand in & paint it like i'm hysterical for having an emotional reaction to something instead of addressing it directly with me 🙃

I understand we all love Taylor & sometimes the parasocial relationship clouds things. But y'all are cutting off community members just bc they chose to critique her instead of trying to foster understanding (and this is not the first time I've seen this happen since coming to bluesky)

Shaming others for having a (rightfully) emotional reaction to seeing (even unintentional) Isnotreal propaganda & trying to minimize it is kinda shitty. No one over here on bluesky that i have seen called her a zionist. We just want & expect more from her based on precedents SHE SET.

That coupled with the silence on Palestine does warrant criticism to me! I understand she is putting herself at risk speaking out & she doesnt owe us anything. However, she herself chose to set the precedent in Miss Americana that she wanted to be political. So I will hold her to that standard.

The point is her CHOOSING to leave the bits in. Even given the context, many of her fans are not going to look any deeper. We know this bc we constantly poke fun at them for NOT doing that & taking everything at surface level.

DM us for the link!

Honestly, for me it makes WCS make more sense. I always struggled w/ what devil she was speaking of. If it's Disney, I could definitely see this being her perspective

I know you're right but it doesn't quiet the sense of justice screaming that its wrong & I know she can do better 😩
