It's so crazy to me that swifties think her music from different "eras" sounds differently than each other when all of her music just sounds the same to me.
Like I have seen swifties do nothing but shit all over conan gray's new album when he literally did such a huge switch from his typical music and has shown such an insane range artistically, and vocally (while addressing topics like queer religious trauma, accepting love exists after growing up in an abusive household, generational trauma, and a tongue in cheek song about the bourgeoisie by a person who actually grew up in poverty all masked in referential upbeat 80s pop).
But he's best friends w olivia, he didn't listen to midnights immediately after it came out 2 years ago, he stopped talking about her -- so swfties are totally ok to be raging homophobes and generally unpleasant people towards him ig, despite him actually doing what they say they love their fave for.
holy shit we have a conan gray stan now. (so irrelevant but i used to watch his thrifting videos in high school so seeing him so famous now is insane. i literally remember watching his ucla acceptance vid in my jr yr of hs)
plus neither conan nor olivia are white. they’re both wasian, with olivia being half filipina and conan being half japanese. swifties coming in with the 2 for 1 combo of homophobia and racism disguised as “stan beef”
swifties have proven themselves to be the type of ppl to listen to liberal content from the most centrist woman ever. like they’re those people who are like “i’m okay with gay people as long as they’re not my kids” or white people who are like “im not racist i have x friends!” its truly just for social clout their politics. taylor swift the temu of music if you ask me. or shein if taylor gets hit with RICO charges idk
so ts trademarked female rage: the musical
after saying that during the ttpd part of her eras tour. I guess this is how she will try to get an emmy. Or she will release the eras tour new version under this name. Either way i find it a bit childish. I mean it is a saying on tiktok that she just trademarked. That is a bit of an overkill
She already has an Emmy.
'Female rage' is not 'a saying on TikTok' either. It's a saying that has been around for centuries! The trademark license has not been granted yet, and might not be because Swift didn't invent the phrase.
hearing someone tell the same boring or only mildly interesting story more than twice is unbearable to me. it's like there are ants under my skin. i have to leave the room or if i can't i have to pull out every mental trick i have to distract myself and then vent later and I'm pretty sure it still shows in my body language despite my best efforts.
taylor swift is like someone who tells the same few mildly interesting stories over and over and over. her music isn't garbage or anything, but at the same time 90% of it is unbearable to me because every single she releases gets so much play, it gives me the same ants under my skin feeling and i often can't get away from it.
and it's not just her music, it's also the constant narrative around her. i was made to sit through a mini documentary about her relationship with travis kelce on espn, treating her like a saint doing a public service for bringing more customers to the multibillion dollar CTE league that is the biggest financial supporter of tackle football for children. (I am on record hating tackle football, the NFL, and its youth outreach long before this)
ever since the self-proclaimed activist happily accepted being named more influential on world events than any world leader and used the platform to talk about no world events or anything worthwhile, it's like the ants have become bullet ants whenever i hear this saint swift narrative repeated. we're even supposed to say "thank you mommy, may i have another" to the billionaire making millions on obscenely priced concerts that are supposedly "holding up the whole economy". i'm just never going to understand people who worship her (not just like her music) and dedicate their time to giving her unpaid promo and claim to care about things like genocide and the environment and wealth disparity.
anyway, that's why stuff bugs me. please tag everything that's related to taylor with "#taylor swift" so people's blacklists work properly. A LOT of y'all don't and it's giving ants!

My opinion is that Macklemore and Kendrick are two different situations. Kendrick’s drop is important because it’s exposing genuine issues within the music industry and exposing a literal predator, womaniser, and someone who has essentially been shitting on the history of hip hop and rap ever since he started his music career.
Macklemore’s drop is important because not only does it call out the IDF and America’s complicity in Israel’s genocide on a huge platform, but all the streaming proceeds actually go to helping Palestine.
What isn’t important is Drake. That’s why Macklemore only shouted out how he isn’t interested in Drake’s response, and doesn’t mention Kendrick at all, because no one should give a shit about what that whiny little bitch has to say and waste time waiting for the response.
But overall, the main takeaway from all of this, including Macklemore’s song, is that you shouldn’t let the actual drama distract you from talking about and supporting Palestine. Kendrick has won the “beef”. We all know that he has, and we need to respect what he did as a legitimate moment in history for the hip hop scene and for the music industry as a whole. That’s why I think viewing it as just “beef” is stupid anyway. Kendrick fucking executed that guy and now Drake should fall out of relevancy for good. I don’t give a shit about Drake’s response either. This isn’t celebrity drama, this was a hip hop legend cleaning up the scene for us.
Meanwhile, we should also be streaming Macklemore’s song because it sends all its funds to the UNRWA, and funding the Palestine relief effort is important as fuck right now. You can have whatever opinion you want on Macklemore himself, but streaming that song will help Palestine.
Basically, the Macklemore song and the Kendrick songs are important for different reasons, and they should be treated as such and not pitted against each other. Even Macklemore’s not pitting them against each other if you actually read his lyrics.
Don’t stop talking about Palestine. Don’t let celebrity drama distract you. Fuck whatever Drake has to say, and stream both Hind’s Hall and Kendrick’s diss tracks.
Idk if anyone here has been paying any attention whatsoever to the Drake vs Kendrick beef but I am losing my mind over this comment
Social media users have launched “Operation Blockout” to mass block high-profile celebrities and influencers who have not used their platform to shed light on the ongoing genocide in Gaza and advocate for a ceasefire.
“These people have all the opportunity to make change in this world and instead of using their platform to talk about shit that matters, they use it to make themselves money. That’s it. Fuck ‘em. Block ‘em,” said one user on TikTok.
Some users are posting their daily block list on social media using the hashtags #blockout or #blockout2o24

just to reiterate: intentionally targeting hospitals is a WAR CRIME and a TERRORIST ACTION
