Did anyone else catch Ezra telling Jordan she could “put him down now” as a callback 🤣 #dwts

Idk if Taylor will come out and if she does will all of the performance be worth it? Will not standing up for marginalized communities or hanging out with MAGA be worth this?

!!!!!!! This very argument is often used to silence POC voices

projecting some set of imaginary convictions onto a woman who’s made clear she only stands by her money is exhausting me to no end. when people show you who they are *through their consistent actions* (not via their lyricism, which you’re interpreting to fit your preferred narrative)…. listen

“focus on the REAL issues, the REAL fascists” girls you can do both. pop culture is a reflection of our sociopolitical state, and she is one of the most influential women in. the. world. her actions matter! normalizing conservativism matters!

www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMmAMEQN/ period!!! the inability to hold nuance in this fandom — on ALL sides — is exhausting. your fave is normalizing conservatism, point blank period. and given the surrounding!!! context!!! it is v clear why marginalized people have had it with her

And at the expense of progressive values and women’s empowerment, at least to a degree. 😳🤦‍♀️

Have any of y’all considered that maybe *just maybe* the reason you think the discourse is distracting “from real political issues” is because you’re spending all your time on TikTok instead of the actual news?

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED??? No actually I’m not cause this album rollout is at the expense of people of color and now the fandom is being extremely racist 💀

When I call out white woman for racism, their first response is often something along the lines of “why are you expecting me to be perfect 🥺🥺🥺🥺” Calling out someone does not mean you expect them to be perfect. But using this as a way to shut down the conversation *is* a deflection tactic

Why should POC have to provide definitive proof that Taylor Swift is being racist? Why are y’all *so scared* of our fav billionaire popstar being racist? Is it because you’re afraid it reflects badly on you? That it makes you feel like a bad person when Taylor is being called out?

PSA: You can care about fascism and still have valid critiques about white feminism and racism in pop culture. And dismissing conversations about these critiques as “a distraction from real world issues” is just another tactic to silence our voices

Another huge problem I’ve noticed in this fandom is that y’all seem to think that someone has to have racist intentions in order to be racist You can perpetuate racism if even if it’s not your intention! And its okay for being to call you out in these instances

An very important thread on how gaylors have been deflecting and silencing POC when it comes to critiques against Taylor regarding racism

The irony about y’all saying that people are just reading too much into the dog whistle allegations and racism allegations is that THIS IS THE EXACT SAME THING THAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY ABOUT GAYLORS And yet you still call our criticisms conspiracy theories 💀

No, Taylor isn’t a Trad wife, but for the 50th freaking time, Wishlist is crap because it gives MAGA/Conservatives an opening to think that. That song isn’t about being who she is now with kids, it’s about throwing everything away, screw the rest of us, and being Travis’s baby momma only. Not great.

As a historian, when I saw the shape of those bolts I immediately knew they could be mistook for SS bolts and I cringed.😬 A lot of regular people won’t see it that way, but for people that catch it, the look is bad. That’s why Tay’s team should have caught it and indeed killed it earlier.

escaping the swiftie gaylor hell scape for a bit and watching the babysitters club. It’s so cute I love it 😭😭😭😭

PSA: Acting like people are crazy for seeing a N*zi dog whistle or racism in Taylor’s lyrics is not okay. You can politely disagree and move on without invalidating the legit criticisms marginalized communities and POC have 🫠🫠🫠

I think you can still make the argument that the merch team should have known what people would misinterpret it as in their advertising pictures. So no. This still doesn’t excuse it.

So disappointed in our little side of the fandom :(((((( So so sad :(

“Ur falling for astroturfing!!” Okay fine but the criticisms against Taylor are still valid and are based on years of her being a white feminist??

if you're white and you hear people of color say something is racist, you can just move on if you disagree. The world absolutely does not need any more white people telling poc what's racist. some of y'all need to move from gay to Queer real quick if we're gonna survive this descent into fascism

There are also layers to it. The layer of real vs manmade. The layer of viewing her songs through a heteronormative lens. If you are rushing to defend Taylor against people who have genuine points to be made, why? Why do you feel a need to defend someone who doesn't need your defence?

I'm not here to talk over anyone and to even make a judgment on my opinion on the song. I just want to use this to remind people that this is actually a good opportunity for learning, for genuine discussion, and a little reality check on how we conduct ourselves in the world.

Sit back, listen, practice self-soothing rituals, check our biases, hold as much nuance as possible, draft responses on the various platforms and then sleep on it before posting, journal, talk to your therapist, step away from the discourse to come back to yourself. My nervous system is fried

AND if u feel like they don’t, that is extremely valid imo & don’t let anyone tell u otherwise

ALSO i think it’s very fair to start questioning if the ends really do justify the means at this point in time

“i’m not a gaylor, i just think she’s bi” yeah so i have to tell u something…

It’s not a coincidence that when Travis was on stage, most of the fandom saw that as him saving her when it was clear from the visuals that he was one of the men contributing to her pain. And now we have TFOO where the fandom believes it is about Travis saving her from this fate…

I don’t normally like to call out specific people in this fandom. But since this is a large creator, i do think it’s important to call it out since I know most of us will stand behind her.

Is it just me is the argument "while you guys were arguing about *insert controversy here*, this was happening *insert some thing bad here" only ever come up when fandom is receiving criticism?? It feels like this argument is a being used as a way to deflect from valid criticism

I could accept the performance art if it was just misogyny. What I can’t accept the the racism. Taylor has had a history of being a feminist. It’s reflected in her music and in her activism. If the PA was just misogynistic, I would be able to trust that she would eventually burn it all down

I’m sure that there are hate campaigns towards Taylor. But to insuiniate that most of the criticism is coming from bots, said hate campaigns, or fueled by over sensitive liberal white woman is extremely offensive and invalidating to the POC and WOC HAVE been critiquing Taylor.

OHHHH MMMYYY GOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDD “But I whispered at the grave…should’ve kissed you anyway…” 😱😱😱😱

y’all need to read this (heinous) piece by Kash Patel’s gf published in the National Pulse, a conservative outlet. once again — this damage is already done, and TS is entirely responsible for the image she’s cultivated since ‘23, including her political silence: thenationalpulse.com/analysis-pos...

I hope I’m wrong!! But I don’t think I will be. Sorry mamas y’all have way more faith in Ms. Billionaire and her integrity than I do

my prediction is that TS will go relatively quiet (other than promoting the docuseries) and we won’t hear much until her highly publicized wedding (which I unforch think she’ll go through with). and atp/by the end of 2026, people will say she abandoned the PA bc of “unwarranted” backlash to TLOASG 🫠

I wouldn’t survive any future days in this fandom without dr bryanlicious frankly

thinkin’ bout: i’ve got 100 thrown out speeches i almost said to you 🏹 keep it 💯 13 + 87 =100 that’s numerology! so simple! as the 50 cent song played 50 in the cast, zero missteps half truths half of the story 50 + 50 =100 that’s math!

okay be so for real. why are gaylors misinterpreting this SO badly. The criticism with the lighting bolts is because there were TWO of them together. These are not the same

I literally can’t see any of my friends without it becoming about Taylor and trying to rationalize or explain my POV and what’s going on… I don’t want to do this anymore. I’m literally self isolating from friends bc of it. I’m sick of being looked at by my loved ones like I’m losing my mind.

NBC News has cut its teams dedicated to covering Black, Asian American, Latino, and LGBTQ+ issues, The Wrap reports.

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 😭

If performance artlor /New Romantics is true I hope paramore and Taylor swift are paying Olivia Rodrigo behind the scenes. she should not have had to give out writing credits

Ya’ll, someone in my circle was deported by ice this week. This is happening wide spread across the country. We have to start prioritizing the racism and yt supremacy over a popstar I am so fucking for real. OF COURSE a wealthy yt woman benefits from yt supremacy. That is the point of it all.

greta thunberg's interview about being held captive & tortured by israel is viscerally upsetting. the depravity can't be overstated. & they're doing worse to palestinians. heavy read but a reminder that as i live my life, palestinians are dying. take nothing for granted. donate. free palestine.

Whispers - She’s creating so much cognitive dissonance on every side of the fandom that even we can’t ignore it anymore. She’s imploding her career. They can’t ignore the hints towards performance art. We can’t ignore the real damage she’s caused/causing by playing this character.
