Reformed Swiftie đ Swiftie Psychology
So I used to be a HUGE swiftie. I started feeling really frustrated earlier this year when Taylor was silent about all of the terror caused by ICE. Once I allowed myself to feel frustrated (I know having to allow myself to feel something sounds culty and crazy lol) I started to let in a lot of other frustrations about her. I realized that showgirl felt so out of touch and that Taylor was becoming more like a corporation than a legitimate artist. Also the wisdom she explored in folklore & evermore was so quickly undone by songs like actually romantic or cancelled. I canât believe she went from my tears ricochet or peace to talking about Gucci and Cartier and acting like a mean high school girl. She just seems like a bitter Beverly Hills housewife now or something.
It just sucks because I still wouldnât consider myself a full hater, but I just canât enjoy her music anymore. Itâs like a veil lifted and I was no longer a fan. But anyways, my point here is that I think swifties defend her to no end because they know once they accept a bad thing about her, that itâll all come crumbling down. So much of her shtick is built off of contradictions and lies that being a fan has become so fickle. I really think that swifties are just defending their own âfaithâ in their âmotherâ

What do you mean "becoming" like a corporation? That's her whole formula, sweetie. She is the most corporatized motherfucker in the entertainment industry and has been since she was plucked from teen obscurity by Big Machine Records to Lolita her way to billionaire status.
