  1. And shes doing fuck all to keep her fans in line. Dont try to convince me shes not a mean girl. Shes only nice when it benefits her.

    Loads of other artists have been very serious about calling out bullying and nasty behavior within and by their fan bases. She has given it all lip service and her PR team just encourages it.

    People shouldnt be afraid to share their opinion of an artists work in a freaking music magazine because said artists fans are like rabid dogs and cant handle different opinions that dont match theirs.

  3. And they made this announcement in order to boost the number of eyeballs on their review.

  4. Her stans are unhinged. Between her “Swifties” and Beyonce’s “BeyHive”…

  5. Her fall is gonna be rough. I hope she was kind on the way up.

  6. How does such a mid tier artist have so many insane fans?

  7. It’s not because of the fans. It’s because of the wackos out there that think Taylor is still part of a U.S. government psyop

  8. She’s cultivated a powerful cult by aligning her “woe is me” victim mentality with theirs. The Trump of music.

  9. Not really a shock. This happens with fanatics all the time. Not just Taylor Swift’s fanatics.

  10. She is bad review proof. Her entire fanbase are now a bunch of yes men so she can’t improve as an artist cause no one dare so what she does or doesn’t do wrong

  11. Her new album is basically her bullying other people while playing the victim and acting like she is all innocent. From what I’ve read.. this album tops all the other ones with all the digs.. and even including Kim’s oldest daughter.. 🤯

  13. People are entirely unhinged. And I say this as someone who’s been a fan for almost her entire career – I’m only 2 years younger than her and “Our Song” was one of the very first songs I bought on the iTunes Store. I love her new album, generally love her music, but holy hell people need to get a grip. Lots of albums I love (like, my top 5 albums of all time) have gotten at least one mediocre to scathing review, and I just…like what I like and move on. I may make a snarky comment on my personal social media if the reviewer says something bigoted or painfully out of touch, but that’s where it ends.

  14. Imagine being afraid of 14 year old girls with internet access 😭😭

  17. I’ve only listened to the Post Malone collab, but it was a completely unremarkable couple of minutes.
