My friend worked at a interview shoot, idk if it was this one, but it was for Red album circuit and she said Taylor was super protected by a bunch of ppl around her and when she spoke she sounded very sheltered from the world.
I think she's been lucky to have parents who have protected her (which helped her not follow the footsteps of other teen stars), but on the other hand, I think her closeness to them also led to her victim mentality. She depends on her mom for therapy.
I agree so much. It doesn’t help that her mom seems to be kind of a narcissist and a stage mom. There’s this story that when Taylor Swift’s professional guitar teacher (from when she was younger) made a website where he used her name as advertisement (called himself Taylor Swift Guitar’s Teacher) her mom called him and LASHED OUT at him for doing that because it was going against Taylor’s “I learnt guitar on my own/casually” image. So her mom literally went off on him until he removed that.
It seems her mom is also the one that might be perpetuating this victim mindset. Like Oh no honey this whole world is against you and they’re just trying to take advantage of you.
Lol my vocal teacher knew the guitar coach guy lmao!!!! He was spilling me minor tea whenever I asked about Taylor Swift tgough, which was kinda disappointing 🤷♀️
Her mom def set her up a certain way cause I remember reading she was even named Taylor because its a gender-neutral name and she'd go far in the world with a name like that. So there were some interesting teaching given to Taylor in her young age.
Right! I always thought that was so messed up because her parents literally had hopes for her to do something big before she was even BORN. There was always pressure on her to "make it". The moment they discovered she liked songwriting and singing, they didn't waste a second in completely exploiting that talent. One way or the other they were going to make her famous.
I'm fully of the opinion that both her parents are very narcissistic and Taylor, too, is a narcissist. It's like... generational narcissism in their family.
yep! her parents wanted to make sure she could go far in the business world and wouldn’t be judged based on a feminine name. which idk. i guess i almost like the general idea of “i don’t want my child to be turned down for a job interview because they saw their name and thought she was a girl” but also it is very clear they had high hopes for her before she even came out the womb.
“But her parents also prized success in the real world: They even gave her an androgynous name, on the assumption that she would later climb the corporate ladder. “My mom thought it was cool that if you got a business card that said ‘Taylor’ you wouldn’t know if it was a guy or a girl,” says Swift. “She wanted me to be a business person in a business world.””
definitely, there was that video where she wanted to be open about her politic and her father and his pp wasnt happy and try to talk her out it, she was sitting and explaining … it so sad.
That pissed me off so much, they were so patronizing to her. And it was reputation era I think so she wasn’t like 18 when it happened. I had a shitty dad and watching her on the verge of tears trying to convince two men to let her be open about her beliefs made me see red (Taylor’s version)
