i feel like Swift this era is just... checking off boxes on a list.

[erika92]

her interviews are so strange nowadays, like a light has gone out.

[genbu_no_miko24]

I don't totally mind it but she totally is lol.

Which is kinda funny that she wouldn't have had to prove it to people/make up had she not used it as album promo back then.

For real

She's a human being who's living, learning, and growing. None of us were born woke. Some of us are still catching up.

[ohhhmydarling]

But Taylor is definitely that asshole who talks/looks down on other people who aren't woke now that she is. She can't say there a special place in hell for women who don't stick up for other women when she was literally the devil orchestrating every girl-on-girl feud for most of her career. You can't just wake up one day and act like those who still do what you were literally doing yesterday are horrible while you somehow aren't.

That's a huge problem with woke culture in general.

[onadarknight]

You're literally just inventing reasons to hate her and it's pathetic, log off.

[ohhhmydarling]

This is ONTD, hon. I can hate whoever I want.

[onadarknight]

You can hAtE wHoEvEr YoU wAnT but it still doesn't make you any less wrong, and at the end of the day, it still won't fill that void. So you can miss me with that shit, hon.

Once again: log off.

[ohhhmydarling]

An opinion can't be wrong. Take your own advice.

[coquettishkat]

this is a late reply but ia completely, taylor did a lot of things that contradict with her present day image. it's weird seeing her talk about feminism and media creating feuds between women when she's slutshamed camila belle in a song and created unnecessary drama with katy perry. she should acknowledge what she's said and done in the past

[ohhhmydarling]

I think that's why this hardcore advocacy, especially about women never saying anything bad about other women, is so ridiculous. She knew better when she slut-shamed Camilla Belle. She knew better when she gathered a squad of women to side with her in her feud with Katy Perry. Human beings are complex and our emotions don't always paint us in the best light. Sometimes we let things get the best of us and act in a way that disgusts our own selves after we've calmed down. She didn't have to become woke to know that most things she did in the past were shady and tacky.

What she's doing now is using being woke to bully people, just like she used to do back then. But now she can be high and mighty because the people she's bringing down are people who SHOULD be called out. The problem is, once again, that even the tumblr-woke-queen herself had emotions that led her to being awful to other women at one point. How can you possibly criticize someone else for feeling the same way you did when you wrote a few of your hit songs?

[slapband]

I don't disagree with what you're saying, but I mean, just because someone has had a problematic opinion in the past doesn't mean they can't learn better and try to counteract their old, negative opinions with something better. I think the difference here is that she should really own up to the shitty things she said and did and use her platform to demonstrate growing from your mistakes and apologising for them with humility.

i know as a stan you can't understand this and will refuse to see where others are coming from, but she's had a decade to be educated and also had the privilege of getting access to a lot of education and smart people around her and she chose not to to favour getting rich instead because she didnt want to alienate her racist fanbase.

its nice she's finally speaking out, 5 years after it seemed like every celeb in the world was, but im not exactly going to pat her on the back for finally getting to the point. her stans are acting like she's leading the cause when really she's running to catch up.

[hazypink]

There are a lot of things to criticize Taylor for that are more legit than this imo. She’s running to catch up because she...stayed silent about being super skinny her whole career? Only started dropping allusions to hating the fat on her body and trying to feel comfortable with gaining weight when she was almost 30? How can this be ringing as hollow to any one?

Any wokeness she may or may not be performing this era....this is excluded from it imo.

[weighty_ghost]

im not talking about her comments about body neutrality, im talking about how she managed to drop #metoo and misogyny in the same breath. check check check
