Don’t think I’ve ever heard her sing and doubt she’d appeal to me, but WTF is the MAGAt beef with her? I mean, besides the fact they all apparently have micropeens and general insecurity. Seriously, how did they manage to build a politic movement around a fear of women?

She also (horrors- get ready to cover your innocent childrens ears) espouses woke causes.
Mostly she not only talks the talk, she walks the walk and tells them to basically eff off.

Dont be so insular. She's a great songwriter and lyricist. Real smart and driven since she was a kid.

Basing this on pix of her on stage in costume and the fact that I’ve liked very little pop music (ever), and can’t stand what’s on the car radio.

I do know she donates a shit ton to great causes so I do respect her. Just not likely to be my cup of musical tea. *shrug*

It is true that some of it is bubble gum, early stuff is very good country music, and in general, I don't care for country music.
She is a versatile artist, and I would recommend giving her a listen,

And I for damn sure am in old fart territory

I'm a 48 year old woman. Most of my girlfriends in my age range (and obviously much younger) love her. Taylor Swift as a person seems fine. I could give a shit about her music. But she truly pisses off MAGA folks, which will always make me smile.
Give me some thrash metal or punk rock or L7. People like what they like and don't have to like what they don't like.

But she's an excellent storyteller, with clever wordplay and verbal misdirection that rewards careful listening.

definitely a dog-whistle, since he would never do his own dirty work. I'm sure Taylor already many layers of security around her, and hopefully, her family and fiance do, as well. Not too worried about her.

Milo is as scummy as it gets, so I'm not at all surprised that he's posting this kind of shit.

...it apparently had something to do with all the attention paid by the culture to the Charlie Kirk assassination. Yes, the logic is indeed inscrutable.

How many of the people in that stadium never heard of their martyr before he became one? Talk about cynicism 2.0

Speaking of cynicism, wannabes like Milo are probably hoping to cash in on the void, hoping it will be enough to put a few million into their pockets that would have gone into Kirk’s.

By the way, if this Milo is the guy I remember, I saw a clip of him on Bill Maher between five and ten years ago, and he appeared to be a Brit who is a far right version of Boy George. If that’s the same guy, his act is not going to gain a lot of traction in Republicanworld.
