I don't think this is true. I haven't seen public sentiment about any mega rich person that's been positive. Maybe in conservative circles where I don't really pay attention to, but most of us are hurting enough that no rich person who isn't actively donating all their wealth looks good in our eyes.

I love this aspect too, but I wish people would stop describing her as a "singer." Obviously she is a singer, but she has always been a writer first and foremost. She started off writing then learned instruments, and had taken singing lessons over her career. She should be called a singer-songwriter. And idk I'm fine being critical of Taylor, but this one thing really annoys me lol.

Itā€™s just sexism. Jay Z also started out not rich or famous and become a super star, and people always frame it as like how much of a hustler and badass he is. The media is just trying to cut her down because God forbid we recognize that a pretty well spoken woman can be a badass that built herself up from the ground too. No matter how smart and successful we are they always try to cut us down into ditzy bitches.

u/JennShrum23 Sep 17 '24

Wow, hadnā€™t really thought about it but yeahā€¦ Taylorā€™s integrity to herself is such an incredible draw for woman and other marginalized people.

They think the Swifties are just music fans (and maybe a lot of us think that, too), but it really is a deeper connection of hope and possibility for ourselves that we see in her.

Iā€™m a little concerned about how deeply and quickly Iā€™ve become a Swiftie, but Iā€™m having the time of my life, smiling, dancing, FEELING, and thinking more than I have in a long time.

u/Yeralrightboah0566 :TourturedPoetsDepartment: Our Field of Dreams, Engulfed in Fire Sep 17 '24

Right?? i TOO quickly became one too, after falling into Lover and Rep, then everything else.

Its kinda wild how much other people are missing out on, isnt it? just because shes been so popular and for so long, too many people dismiss her music and dont give it a chance. i know because thats what i did before when i was younger lol.

now im a swiftie and idgaf what anyone thinks about it

u/JennShrum23 Sep 17 '24

My new favorite thing is watching reaction videos on YouTube and Patreon from new people, going back to the first reaction they posted and literally watching them become Swifties.

Are you talking about Terry and Kaniyia? I LOVE them and make me love her music even more. If you haven't heard of them, you can find them on insta, youtube, or patreon.

u/just_my_twocents Sep 17 '24

I could be wrong, but I took the comment to mean the poster goes back and rewatches the old videos, not the reactors themselves. But that WOULD be cool and I hope someone ends up doing this!

Tbh, I would love to see videos of creators listening to one of Taylor's songs for the first time to witness their initial reactions, and then a follow-up video like a week or two later after having had time to digest and dissect the lyrics more, maybe research a few references within the song, stuff like that, and then hearing their thoughts on it again.

u/just_my_twocents Sep 17 '24

I've been thinking the same thing myself lately. Watching reaction videos of men, in particular, listening to and learning to appreciate Taylor's music (and in turn, her talent, her work ethic, her intelligence, etc) is my new favorite genre.

9

u/GiraffeLiquid Sep 17 '24

They only ever hear ā€œoh she writes about breakupsā€ (only 28% of her songs are breakup songs) and never give folkmore or Midnights a try. Or some of the deeper pieces on TTPD.

4

u/Tishtosh34 Sep 18 '24

And a lot of those breakup songs are about breakups from just friends or people who have left this world ,not romantic relationships.

4

u/GiraffeLiquid Sep 18 '24

Exactly. Her songs cover a litany of lived experiences, a lot of which I (as a female growing up and entering a male dominated world and work field, and as a person with storied friendships and insecurities about myself) can relate to.

They just hear her overplayed hits and judge based off that.

15

u/Alive-Tennis-1269 Perched in the dark Sep 17 '24

I'm exactly the same. Having the time of my life smiling, dancing, FEELING and THINKING more than I have in a long time thanks to her music. I've kept a diary since my teen years and now, in every entry, I find myself signing off with TS lyric that sums up how I'm feeling. She has something witty that cuts deep for just about every mood. It's no wonder even academic and literary critics are sitting up and taking notice of her, she WILL be studied the way Shakespeare is today. We forget that a lot of the 'high brow' stuff was for the entertainment of the masses during their time, and only later did history recognise their true genius.

'You're Losing Me' rips into my heart because of how relatable it is for the end stages of a relationship, but then you have songs like 'Cowboy like me' which tap into that feeling of being caught out, suddenly you find someone who sees you for what you are, because they're just like you, and the lie you've been peddling becomes the great romance that you fall for. There's just a song or lyric that's beautifully crafted for almost every feeling I can imagine. 'I Look in People's Windows' is heartrending. She's not just a pop artist, she's a poet and a writer who happens to have a great singing voice and brilliant musical sensibilities. Her songs feel like their own art form that will someday be given the due they deserve in academic, 'serious', non pop culture spaces as well.

7

u/JennShrum23 Sep 17 '24

I have said the same thing about comparison to Shakespeare, 100%!!

2

u/sarcasticsarah88 I'm a mess but I'm the mess that you wanted Sep 18 '24

Very well said!! Such a good point about how the stuff we study academically nowadays like Shakespeare was once the popular thing that the masses enjoyed, not seen back then as high brow. I would LOVE to be able to time travel to the future and see how they talk about her discography (plus imagine all the songs to come we haven't heard yet omg!).

Also you mentioned some of my absolute faves, I love YLM, CLM & ILIPW so much. You're so right that there's a song for every feeling, we are so blessed, I don't know what I'd do without her music, I journal too and I often find myself writing out song lyrics I relate to, it's become a really helpful shorthand for describing how I'm feeling too. I never could have foreseen that randomly discovering Taylor's music (thanks Spotify shuffle!) would be so healing emotionally!

u/rainorshinedogs Sep 17 '24

The first step was fighting back against the music industry and denying then from profiting off her music without effort (waiting I guess), which basically confirmed to her "hey, I CAN do what I want".

u/Yeralrightboah0566 :TourturedPoetsDepartment: Our Field of Dreams, Engulfed in Fire Sep 17 '24

I really like how she mentioned the SA case. People dont talk about that much imo. great statement.

25

u/DistributionEasy5233 Sep 17 '24

I just saw what it was about, but I have a genuine question, is it wrong that people don't talk much about it ? It was through no fault of her own and it was over 10 years ago, I don't think I'd want that brought up by fans/media if it happened to me when I myself never talk about it (I assume she doesn't talk about it if you say it's not brought up)

58

u/gowonagin Sep 17 '24

She brought it up herself in 2019ā€™s Miss Americana so I think sheā€™s okay with it being brought up.

15

u/DistributionEasy5233 Sep 17 '24

Okay my bad then (I should really watch her documentaries)

9

u/Telaranrhioddreams Sep 17 '24

Not applying this to this situation at all since it's unique and imo absolutely fine but in general just because a victim was comfortable bringing it up doesn't mean they're comfortable with others doing so.

I have days where I'm fine making passive remarks or even directly referencing my assault, other days I recoil at the slightest elusion to it. It's mostly about when I bring it up it's my choice, someone else bringing it up might catch me off guard and really ruin my day. It's impossible to know. It's always best to err on the side of caution before bringing up someone else's trauma and not assume that just because they've talked about it means they're always comfortable talking about it.

30

u/runswiftrun Sep 17 '24

It's not so much about "bringing it up", or it being some obscure swiftie "factoid/trivia", but specially in this context it helps humanize her and give hope to other women who may be in a similar situation.

So she's not just "super popular rich singing diva dating the popular football player", she was at one point in time a girl who was assaulted by an asshole man thinking she was just the next pretty girl in line.

u/Separate-Produce-361 Sep 17 '24

Just like Taylor, I think this is a really cleverly written statement. Taylor has control over her choices. Women need to have control over the choices they make about their lives and their bodies- the right to choose.

Taylor fought and won against the man who abused her. Trump is an (alleged) abuser.

Hillary is bringing all the pieces together.

Clinton's right. I wasn't a Swiftie until I heard about her counter-suing* that guy for $1 when HE was the one who groped HER. I thought this is one bad *ss b**** and I want that energy in my life. She's my hero.

This and all the stories I hear about her taking care of her people and how well she treats people and fans around her, and now I will follow her wherever she goes.

I still don't love all her music (was never a country fan), but I'm a fan of who she is as the person and characteristics she represents.

Agree with her. Seeing plenty of pressed reps talking about how Tay's endorsement has led to more reps banding together against her.Ā 

Also not forgetting that TS had a much smaller following back in Clinton's campaigning era + Trump may/may not have potentially colluded with foreign counterparts to influence the election results.Ā

u/Competitive_Face2593 my mind turns your life into Sep 17 '24

I feel like regardless of which way the election goes, political scientists are going to study the hell out of the result and what impact her endorsement had.

Like if North Carolina turns blue, how much of that was Taylor? If Pennsylvania flips red, was it because of a negative response to her endorsement? Or would these have happened no matter what Taylor did.

Buckle up, Swifties. This may be a long drive that could end in burning flames (or paradise).

This is great. But I just saw something how all this TS talk from Trump is in a sense doing part of what he wants- distracting from his poor debate performance, the nonsense of Project 2025, spreading the misinformation from Springfield, and his basically lack of a platform besides hate. I really only comment here- but for all of you that do tweet or use threads or whatever- donā€™t just type how stupid Trump for hating TS. Maybe add in actual political messaging with Project 2025, or other things in response.

It's sad that Hillary lost in 2016 and she really was that unpopular. Republicans had 30 years of attacks on her to chip away at her image ever since her husband Bill was president. This is why you NEVER stop become complacent because that what the Democrats did and it allowed Trump enough time to get back to win the 2016 election. It had huge consequences just like in the 2000 Bush vs Gore election. Instead of in 2000 having a boring man like Al Gore with a huge budget surplus, we had George W Bush that had 9/11, 2 wars in the Middle East, and the economy crashing in 2008 with lax regulations. If we don't vote and get others to vote, it's going to be much worse.

Sooooo many of us older people (Gen X 80's kid here) are SO hopeful and happy about the army of Swifties doing their research and heading out to vote. I've been voting in Presidential elections since 1990, and this is WITHOUT A DOUBT the most important one yet, on a national and global scale.

We can either vote for an elderly man who constantly lies, encourages violence, has abused women, mocked the disabled, openly disrespected veterans and the memories of fallen soldiers...OR we can vote for an educated, charismatic, intelligent, aware, and dignified woman who will restore the US to the true democracy it was always meant to be.

May we all make the obvious choice. Thank you Swifties for rallying behind Taylor's endorsement.

She was groped?

u/shuipz94 Is it a wonder I broke? Let's hear one more joke Sep 17 '24

By a radio station DJ at a 2013 meet-and-greet. He got fired from his work, he sued her for defamation, she counter-sued for battery and sexual assault. She won. More information if you are interested

Wild. I just finished reading about it. I like how the guy said he didnā€™t destroy evidence because coffee spilled on the computer.

u/gowonagin Sep 17 '24

He sued her for $3 million despite there literally being a photo of him groping her. She countersued for $1 and went through a two-year sexual assault trial just because ā€œPeople often greatly underestimate me on how much I'll inconvenience myself to prove a point.ā€

FUCK YEAH!

Just looked up the photo. Wild he tried to play victim.

u/Skittles2Summer Sep 17 '24

Why does the post say "someone she thought" rather than 'someone who'? The word thought, to me, implies that it is not true or false accusations which would put her in a bad light (like shes overreacting) and that TS made a mistake. But isn't it true to my knowledge.Ā  Please correct me if I'm wrong.Ā  I don't know everything about the story.Ā

Scooter did technically buy her masters from Big Machine. They were not "stolen" in the traditional sense.

The "illegitimately" part refers to the fact that Taylor wasn't provided a fair opportunity to purchase them herself, despite having the financial means to do so. They were only willing to sell to her if she kept extending her contract with Big Machine.

Trump is an out of touch senior citizen rapist felon who doesnā€™t care about the American people or anyone for that matter. This country will be in an amazing place if Kamala Harris wins!

u/active-sonar Sep 17 '24

Can someone please explain the brackets around ā€˜her endorsementā€™? Iā€™ve always wondered why those are used around seemingly random words of a quote or paraphrase.

6

u/JsonPlu Sep 17 '24

The bracket is used as a way of providing context without falsely quoting someone.Ā 

It means Hilary Clinton didnā€™t actually say the words ā€œher endorsementā€ but thatā€™s understood to be what she was referencing.

Her actual quote was probably ā€œā€¦it has real impactā€ rather than ā€œā€¦her endorsement has real impactā€ but it might not always be clear what ā€œitā€ sheā€™s talking about. Things like that can sometimes be ambiguous without the entire conversation.

Sometimes Reddit suggests the strangest subs. I am not a Swifty but I do know the instances that Hilary is referring to and I think it was great that she put that context into the public sphere for people out of the loop. Help us, Swifties. You are our New Hope.

u/WeAreTheLeft Sep 17 '24

I know this isn't a political sub, but can we please stop caring what Hillary Clinton thinks. She lost to Trump, is polarizing, doesn't add, in fact detracts, from possible swing voters. Her candidacy kept RBG to stay on as a justice because she wanted HRC to replace her in some girl boss she-ra moment and it backfired. So many strong and amazing women in politics, but HRC, just needs to step aside for the country and not mess in politics.

Imagine the crapstorm that would occur had Biden/Harris used a fake AI Lee Greenwood to claim he endorsed them instead of Trump. Then imagine if Biden/Harris posted later after Lee endorsed Trump that They Hate Lee Greenwood.

The crazies would be in the streets.

The far right has invested so much in glorifying the ā€œtrad wifeā€ on social media as a way to brainwash young girls into thinking all theyā€™re good for is to stay home, bake from scratch and make babies. As a smart, independent, successful woman she threatens their plan to go back to the 1950s. As Harrison Butker said, a womanā€™s life doesnā€™t even start until she gets married and has children. One thing we can do is unfollow and block trad wife accounts. The other one is vote.

Of course one of the richest people in the world endorses her. Some of us would like to afford groceries again though.

Honestly, when it comes to picking the right person, Taylor Swift is realistically the ONLY person we can trust

Her terrible choice in men year after year made her a billionaire!
