Taylor Swift Band • Page 90

lol, Playas Gonna Play is the superior song but to quote Jojo it's just Too Little Too Late

 

I feel like they just blooped off the map. There wasn't like a failed release or anything was there?

 

I don't remember, Adrienne was on The Real so they didn't completely disappear

 

I do think I remember that Adrienne being a Cheetah Girl made the other two mad. I reckon she's the only one who survived the breakup.

 

Naturi is doing really well post leaving the band

 

ACLU Backs Blogger Who Links Taylor Swift to White Supremacy

Taylor.....

 

If it’s “probably false” like her lawyers say than just...idk...prove it? Anyone with an alt right following has a responsibility to speak up and Taylor’s refusal to do so is sus.

 

I'm just scratching my head over it at this point. Like, sis, I get not wanting to apologize for something if you don't think you did anything wrong but... there comes a point where... isn't it just easier to do the damn thing? Based on the stories, I feel like it's likely her lawyers have standing notices to just do the absolute most and send out cease and desists over everything regarding her that's even remotely negative, but yikes. (That said: a lot of the folks spearheading this *do* target her and have long before white supremacy entered the picture, so there's *that* bit of context. No idea about this particular writer, however.)

I don't actually believe she's a white supremacist. It wouldn't make any sense. Assuming I'm correct about that, this boils down to money and stubbornness and just... girl. (If I'm incorrect, this becomes a whole different conversation.)

 

The letter said it pretty well too. she acts like she's spoken out against it so passionately when she hasn't?? Like just do it sis. Part of me is surprised she hasn't just cause it'd be easy praise for her. Yeah her alt-right fans would be upset but the internet would be falling over themselves to write listicles about 19 Times Taylor Swift Did That and having gifs and sound bites all over. But now she has this negative press come up when u Google her name instead. Like why



And it is not without irony that at one point you ask that your “letter stand as yet another unequivocal denouncement by Ms. Swift of white supremacy and the altright,” but then purport to forbid anybody from making the letter public.

 

"me and Nazis got bad blood, this is a safe space baby"
See how easy it would be for her

 

Bet she does it AFTER the record comes out

 

If she doesn't at least do something during SNL it would be ridic.

 

I doubt she'll say anything at all.

 

I mean SNL had Donald Trump on so clearly they don't mind. Next stop: Fallon!

 

I mean not because SNL is a beacon of awesome things but because she's not really doing much press so it's a good soundbite opportunity for her imo and a way to drop a line or reference about it without having to say anything super deep (tho I wish she would but that ship has kinda sailed lol). And cause to my knowledge it's her next public appearance since all of this

 

Who do you think is more afraid of her making a statement and alienating a good portion of her fanbase:

her "team"
or
Taylor herself

????

 

My guess is Taylor rules with an iron fist. As to why she doesn't speak up: she's an opportunist. As long as the graphs show her that she might loose more sales by speaking up than without it she won't do it. A pop star for the Trump era one might say. Her little beef with streaming had the same motivation behind it despite her official reason, it was so transparent.

 

I also don't know if it's actual (conservative) fans that would get angry but the people who fund those fans.

 

I don't necessarily think her assumptions and predictions are accurate, but I think she believes they are

 

Just tweeting that nazis and white supremacists are bad shouldn't even be controversial in 2017 but somehow it is

 

Billboard is doing a really cool series where they have five of their authors make a case for each of Taylor's albums being her best. They've done all but 1989 so far.

Why Taylor Swift's Self-Titled Debut Is Her Best Album: Critic's Take

Why Taylor Swift's 'Fearless' Is Her Best Album: Critic's Take

Why Taylor Swift's 'Speak Now' Is Her Best Album: Critic's Take

Why Taylor Swift's 'Red' Is Her Best Album

Red's still the one for me, but they're all interesting reads.

 

I think you can make a decent case for any of them but the debut.

 

The debut has Cold As You which is enough of a case imo! And oop at me cause I like it more than 1989. But Red is my fave.

 

Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeed forever

 

Red is a good three - four songs too long. Granted 1989 pushes it at 13, but it the album ends just when it's starting to feel its length. (This is discounting the bonus tracks in both instances).

The debut is pretty much worthless imo but that's because I fucking despise pop country lol. Fearless and Speak Now have their moments but Red was the album that won me over, since she pretty much all but abandoned the pop country angle at that point.
