Perhaps the MAGAts should be upset that Peyton Manning(a Republican) is in a Bud Lite commercial buying beer for the bar as Emmet Smith aids in passing them out.

what the latest crisis is, nor do I generally care. Nor do I know much about current singers.

But, WTAF is WRONG with those people??? "deep state"??? football? Biden rigging the games??? Those are some awfully powerful drugs they are taking. May it prove salutary.

My "favorite" comment was one on xitter...

"Girls need to get out of football"


I didn't note the writer. He needs to be forgotten and his ilk better educated. The woman hate is what gets them out of bed in the afternoon where they sleep in their mom's basements.

You Need To Calm Down
Taylor Swift

EXPLICIT

You are somebody that I don't know
But you're taking shots at me like it's Patrón
And I'm just like "Damn, it's 7:00 a.m."
Say it in the street, that's a knock-out
But you say it in a Tweet, that's a cop-out
And I'm just like, "Hey, are you okay?"

And I ain't trying to mess with your self-expression
But I've learned the lesson that stressin'
And obsessin' 'bout somebody else is no fun
And snakes and stones never broke my bones so

So, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
You need to calm down
You're being too loud
And I'm just like oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (oh)
You need to just stop
Like, can you just not step on my gown?
You need to calm down

You are somebody that we don't know
But you're coming at my friends like a missile
Why are you mad?
When you could be GLAAD? (You could be GLAAD)
Sunshine on the street at the parade
But you would rather be in the dark ages
Making that sign, must've taken all night

You just need to take several seats and then try to restore the peace
And control your urges to scream about all the people you hate
'Cause shade never made anybody less gay so

So, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
You need to calm down
You're being too loud
And I'm just like oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (oh)
You need to just stop
Like, can you just not step on his gown?
You need to calm down

And we see you over there on the internet
Comparing all the girls who are killing it
But we figured you out
We all know now, we all got crowns
You need to calm down

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
You need to calm down (you need to calm down)
You're being too loud (you're being too loud)
And I'm just like oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (oh)
You need to just stop (can you stop?)
Like, can you just not step on our gowns?
You need to calm down

While flying all over the world can't be a cake walk. I agree she's something special. I never really listened to her music until lately. Apparently it's evolved with her during the last almost twenty years she's been writing and performing.

She's written something like 350 songs. Many of those are performed and recorded by others. So if she was to retire from performing she has writing as her fallback career.

Mid-60's old white male but damn I love her voice, and the songs she writes are amazing. Lucky for me there's no danger of her ever writing one about me.

I wonder how she will get back from Tokyo in time for the Super Bowl. I'm going out on a limb and guessing not commercial.
