“F you, Taylor Swift!” shouted Megyn Kelly, “and f all of the people who want to see these children have body parts chopped off.”
For those not fluent in Republican crazy-speak, Kelly’s meltdown was triggered by Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris the night before, barely one hour after Trump all but face-planted on the debate stage. Kelly was especially triggered by Swift highlighting her appreciation for vice presidential nominee Tim Walz’s support of LGBTQ+ rights.

Other right-wing commentators, like Ben Shapiro, took another approach: making fun of Swifties. “Note: if you vote for a particular candidate because your favorite singer is doing so, please don’t vote. You are too stupid to vote,” wrote Shapiro on X. Meanwhile, Elon Musk, the richest man on the planet, threatened to impregnate her.
The party of rapists, child molesters and murderers is mad at Taylor Swift. She must’ve done something right. 🤔
Yeah, though not in the domain of singing.
It’s ok to not like something, you know. Pretending they’re not good is pretty weird tho.
No pretense. They are not good in my subjective opinion just like they might be good in your subjective opinion. There’s no objective taste.
Objectively speaking she can dance and keep a crowd going while still hitting her notes. It doesn’t matter if you don’t enjoy the music, she’s objectively doing a good job. You critiqued her singing, not her music.
Success is more important than talent. Success pays the bills better.
Being successful and not talented doesn’t make you talented even if success pays the bills better.
Doesn’t mean Taylor Swift is not talented in her own way, I don’t get what triggered all you guys. It seems sometimes that the expected variety of thought among English speakers is less than among Russian speakers. Where even in the toxic Russian Web people would ask first, you guys go stampeding.
Just like, say, Azerbaijan having oil to bribe politicians and wage war doesn’t mean they have history and culture and Armenia doesn’t. They would very much like to buy history and culture, but they can’t.
