in all seriousness though:
(princess) Swift is a businesswoman who took advantage of the Kanye beef for her career, but the break-up song shit is something everyone does
Kanye is a passionate artist who does care about racism in the music/fashion industry, but I dont need a white guilt ridden woman to downplay the fact that he's a jackass
(goddess) Kim is a businesswoman who took advantage of the phone calls for her show, but im sure she wanted to defend her husband
in the end they all went on with their careers and no one really cares

She's just a product and she does what she and her team think will be the most commercially successful move.
Probably the most egregious was co-opting and profiting from the rise of modern feminism, yet when the biggest threat to that since Roe v. Wade came knocking she remained silent. But then resumed regular service in the meekest way possible.
A product trying to sell to the largest audience possible. That's all.

Honestly the obsession this forum has with 'exposing' Taylor Swift is almost creepy to me... a celebrity pop star is a fake person?! Wow shocking news....
I miss the times when every thread on GAF didn't turn into race-baiting trash.

Oh my God do not get me started on how she only ever preaches about the importance of feminism whenever she feels threatened. She's vile.

The article itself talks about it with the whole Nicki incident.

Doesn't change that her music is lit af 😎

Why not both ? There can be relatable "just like next door" music stars like Swift or Pink and unnatainable icons like Madonna or Cher or whatever.
And her performances are not horrible at all. Not my favorite music, sure, but she can sing, play the piano and the guitar pretty confidently, imo. I've seen her live (young daughter and all) and it was a pretty okay concert. Sure, it was earlier in her career when there was more country than Shake it Off, but it was pretty decent.
Don't get the hate, really.

I like to think this was payback for that "Imma let you finish" stunt, but yeah, I mean, these are pop stars, pretty irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. I find it fun to watch them bicker from time to time though.
Yup...
At first I'm like meh, just another fake celebrity, not that big of a shocker, though it's funny when she gets outed. But over the years, this shit adds up, the stuff that she does and does not choose to not speak out on, people notice that as well. In the end, you just come to realize this woman really ain't shit.

Lol at turning Kanye acting like a douche in 2009 into some kind or racial justice thing. Maybe he can get his buddy Trump to help him deal with Taylor Swift.
You actually quoted an article defended for Kanye for grabbing her microphone and interrupting her on stage. Something the president even called him a jackass for. Wouldn't that tell you alone that it wasn't worth reading?

If her next album is anywhere near Red's quality she can do no wrong in my eyes

If she creates another State of Grace I'll continue pretending she's an innocent pure maiden.

Slow news day, I see...
Same for Taylor, I don't care what she does behind doors, she's one of the nicest artists when it comes to making her fans happy, she always goes the extra mile for them. Maybe she's faking it, but who cares????
She stalked and invited almost 500 fans to her house for listening parties months before 1989 came out, made cookies for them, etc, does lots of charity, makes free meet and greets almost every single night after her concerts, I could go on and on forever.
I obviously don't know how they are in their day to day life but I had the fortune of meeting her mom (as have plenty of other fans) and she's really nice and kind.

Taylor Swift puts the "hood" in victimhood
She's totally a snake for that shit but honestly even if it was some crazy agreed upon scheme, I don't understand why that line meant so much to Kanye. I think it's great to reference your own life experiences in your music but that's some shit that people would have been repulsed by even if Taylor had come out in support of it.

Pink backs up her attitude by having genuine talent and amazing performances that no one else could ever do, though. Pink swings around 20 feet in the air and is able to stay on key. Taylor jerks her body around on stage in the name of relateability and sounds like a dying elephant.
Taylor has a fake attitude (fine, what pop star doesn't?) but has no special talent to back it up (in fact, she flaunts her lack of talent as a good thing. Thank her for the success of the likes of Meghan Trainor), uses politics when it's convenient to her image, and preaches for feminism and the unity of women only when shes called out for her behaviour and while writing songs that attack women.

Armenians can literally trace their heritage back to the Caucasus Mountains.
That sounds anatomically questionable.

She is probably one of the most manufactured celebrities out there. I mean kind of obvious when you remember how she was portrayed as an every-town, country kind of girl from Tennessee at the start of her career, when in reality her dad is a well-off financial advisor who relocated from the Philadelphia area so she could pursue a career in music.
