i get that people don't like her and can respect some of the points here but this is.... a lot

using marching bands is cultural appropriation now?

[j___adore]

she didn't have an all black marching band lol they always reach so hard with her. let her live. and when she actually fucks up then write your articles.

Were people saying this when she did her marching band shit before when she was doing You Belong To Me/Band Leader stuff? Genuinely curious lol.

Not at all

Is this a joke article?

cultural appropriation? really? this is so stupid. i didn't like the performance or the song but all taylor had was drummers, not even a full band with majorette dancers so it didn't really resemble beychella

the writer says she's a member of the beyhive so she's prob just using this to drag taylor for stan clout. what's crazy is that she's verified on twitter and the senior entertainment editor for nylon lmao

Lmao what??? White people are very much also involved in marching bands...?

that's a bit excessive
