    I saw a thread today where a guy was very earnestly making the case that the lightning bolt necklace Taylor is selling on her website is loaded with Nazi symbols and dog whistles, and I just think these people should seek help.

    I think I was fed that exact same thread this morning, really trying hard to connect dots

    Truly psychotic shit. Some of the responses made me laugh, though. "The fans can't act like everything is an easter egg and then handwave the symbolism here!" The fans also have a world-historic terrible batting average when it comes to discerning what is an easter egg and what isn't, so...

    exactly, if we are using that logic then only 5% of the negative theorys should count, because only 5% of their easter egg guesses pan out

    I got a tiktok on my fyp today and it was from a woman of color so I was legit interested in hearing what she had to say but it was the Nazi stuff again. People legit think the line about wanting all the kids on the block to look like him is trying to further the aryan race when it's obviously her being cheeky and being like he's hot and I wanna have his babies.

    There's so much legit stuff to criticize rich celebs for, Taylor included, so idk why we have to reach to weird places

    Alright I'll bite i think the necklace is kinda weird, as is being right above a hat that reads "PROTECT THE FAMILY". I haven't parasocially attached myself to TS though so ymmv

    i did see the necklace thing too. while i don't think it's a good look for someone who hasn't had a great history with being mentioned in conversations about race/Whiteness to sell a necklace that could be interpreted as Nazi symbolism (even if it's meant to be a reference to the lyrics of Opalite), she's clearly not a Nazi.
     
  8. I refuse to be part of any discourse surrounding Taylor’s eras during release week, hell even release month or more because she’s just so inhumanly big and has such a monopoly on the music landscape that people… just can’t be normal about her anymore. It’s all projection and it comes from all sides at this point. It’s gotten exhausting.
     
  9. I keep getting recommended Threads posts on IG for the Taylor is MAGA shit and one of them just kept posting pictures of the protect the family or whatever hat next to an ICE hat insinuating it was a similar design and done so on purpose.

    please go outside and breathe fresh air or something

    I haven’t even seen the necklace, I guess I’ve just missed out on this whole discourse so far (luckily)

    Including the Gracie Abrams album and Hannah Montana soundtrack makes that 10x cringier. Those are the only two non Taylor albums worthy enough? I am judging

    Taylor has writing credits on both, I believe. I tried to figure it out at first, too.

  19. "Crazier" is on Hannah Montana and I think Taylor has a feature on the Gracie album
