    The only reason I know who she is is because the BBC and CNN think any fart she makes constitutes news. Who gives two shits about a wannabe musician doing anything regarding politics? Our needless worship of celebrities needs to end. This is not news.

    People get so pissed when anyone pisses on Swift like she is some god. Who gives a fuck if that person doesn’t give a fuck who she is?

    Ps. To me she is a sign of societal decline. Just another rich bitch pretending to be relevant.

      “Wannabe musician” - that’s a laugh.

      This woman sings, dances, plays guitar and piano at her concerts for, like, three hours straight for sold out crowds all over the world where you have to get into a lottery to even buy tickets, but sure, she’s not a musician. Give me a break.

      The reason why her endorsement makes news is because she has 200M followers on social media, so whether you like it or not if she takes a stance one way or the other there will be people who listen.

        She does all that and yet it all sounds repetitive and bland. She might as well be replaced by an AI.

            Some annoying people in my circle keep playing her songs. They all suck.

            Now say the same thing yet again! ♥️♥️

              If that many people in your circle suck then, I hate to break it to you, you might be the one who sucks. Let them enjoy the music they like. I might not like the music you like but I won’t judge you for liking it.

          Like you and your comments. Bland and easily replaced by a bot. The only difference is SHE is followed by millions of young people. I’m not even sure you can stand yourself.

      I’m sorry, but this is like saying you don’t know who Elvis is in the late 1950s. Of course you won’t know who she is if you refuse to find out who famous musicians are. She’s so popular that her fans literally cause earthquakes just by dancing at the same time.

      https://deadline.com/2024/06/taylor-swift-seismic-activity-earthquake-edinburgh-concerts-1235972279/

      She was mobbed by so many fans at an airport in Tokyo that she caused flight delays:

      Like I said, I’m not a fan. I know what exactly one Taylor Swift song sounds like and it’s only because I was paid to do a parody of it many years ago.

      But I’m also not ignorant of global pop culture.

        Like I said, the only reason I know who she is is because the CNN editors are trying their best to make a buck so every time she farts, a front page headline is born. She is famous because we are collectively stupid.

          Like I said, this is like saying you don’t know who Elvis is in the 1950s. Your ignorance of one of the most recognizable people on the planet is no one’s fault but yours.

            Like I said, I do know who she is… thanks to CNN and their desperate attempts at remain relevant among celebrity worshippers. Now it’s your turn to repeat exactly what you said before!

                Right… again I do know who that talentless rich bitch is. I actually gave her a “try”… Could not tolerate more than a song or two. She sounds like shit. She is a grand phenomena of celebrity worship and capitalist marketting. Being famous does not mean you are talented. I consider all her fans to be victims.

                Now your turn again to repeat what you said before as if we are not even talking 😁

                  Ah, so you know more about her than you claimed. Not sure why you lied.

                  Also, your issue seems to be that you want to nitpick the difference between knowing something and inferring it despite that I never said I knew it for a fact.
