@BabyLonia It apparently happened duing my last hiatus, so I'm not sure of the full details, I'm going by a very trusted Friend here.

the sheer number of her fans and the magnitude of their fanaticism demands a counterbalance. this is what keeps any one person from being on top for too long. there has to a pinnacle and the pendulum must swing the opposite way at some point
i'm not a fan, either, but i certainly don't hate her. i hope she comes out the other side of her super-fame unscathed

I don’t hate her. I don’t know why people hate her, I just wish to see less of her.
If I wanted to see her, I’d go watch her concert shows (live or YouTube). I just think the media is pushing for over-exposure. Other players have celebrity wives, but the camera doesn’t cover their every facial expression as often as they did with TS.

Because people are almost afraid to open their fridge without her jumping out of it on them. She's basically a spam at this point. She's played on the radio a lot and her music is not pleasant to listen to. I see random posts about her on Facebook when I never subscribed to her page. Why do I get this stuff then? I remember it took some time of reporting it before FB finally stopped showing posts about her.

@NinaCherry I said nobody needs to own such sums but she obviously doesn't work for money. I don't care if she works and earns more but I don't want to be a part of it as an involuntary listener or "subscriber". All normal artists have their fans who support them. They make tours, shows, gigs and those who are interested come to support them, subscribe to their pages on social media and get the content from them. I, on the other hand, have never subscribed to Taylor Swift, HIM, Harry Potter franchise or something called Black Pink (whatever it might be) and yet their faces were plastered all over my Facebook feed at some point.

@CrazyMusicLover HIM?
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
@NinaCherry Ville Valo. That at least somewhat makes sense because I like the genre and listen to his music from time to time. I didn't like his page on FB though.

1) She is mega popular but most people who are not her fans don't get it. Though I am not a Swiftie, I think I do. Sure, on first listen, its cheesy generic pop. But... here is the thing: the lyrics have an emotional intelligence in terms of the good and bad emotions in relationships (within the same song). This gives the stories much more impact and relatability. Almost no other pop star does this.
2) There is also the culture war political dynamic. She is an ex-country singer and strident liberal. A childless woman in her mid-thirties who is also an icon of success so a certain demographic of people will hate her.
3) Also, her fans are often so hard-core that it can be annoying.

@Burnley123 That was a red herring to distract people from the truth..The Chiefs won the Superbowl because all but three of the team were Australian ex ALF players winding out their declining years in a softer game..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman The NRL is a real sport. 😎

@Burnley123 Yeah. The deranged Vivek Ramaswamy dropped that nugget on his Twitter page.
“I wonder who’s going to win the Super Bowl next month. And I wonder if there’s a major presidential endorsement coming from an artificially culturally propped-up couple this fall. Just some wild speculation over here, let’s see how it ages over the next 8 months.”
It's beyond comprehension. We're in a bizarre world right now.

@deadgerbil so because she has such a large fan following she influences polls.
Is she open about her politics?

Elessar · 26-30, M
@deadgerbil Had she been right leaning you'd see all the conservatives here posting her songs and praising her 24/7 or using it as the musical background of their propaganda vids, and possibly even videos of Trump dancing to her just like we've seen videos of Trump dancing to the YMCA 😬

Personally I'm not a fan, but the hate is childish. If you dont like her, dont watch when the cameras are on her.
I do think a lot of the hate has been generated by the MAGA crowd... they hate anything or anyone not them, not radical fools.
Anyway, save your hate for those who deserve it.

During the Eras Tour Taylor Swift has been donating to food banks as she arrives at cities. Maybe people hate feeding the hungry? Maybe people hate bringing attention to the issue of hunger and food insecurity in the US?
Among the recipients: Arizona Food Bank Network, Houston Food Bank, Tarrant Area Food Bank (Texas), Food Lifeline (Seattle), Three Square Food Bank (Vegas area).

I didn't realize anyone hates her.
The only thing I'm aware of is people tried of the media bringing her up in non-musical context. And tired of the media non-stop talking about her. It's the media they hate, no Taylor.
Like if you want to watch the Chiefs game, you get tired of seeing them focus on Taylor in the box up top, and then failing to focus on the field.
Which I can absolutely understand, in years past they have done that with owners too, and it's annoying, I'm watching the TV to see what's on the field, not to watch people, whom are watching the people on the field.

@BabyLonia Because I want to watch the people on the field, that's why I'm watching.
And I have no problem with them showing her, it's just how often... give the girl some privacy to be a normal human being.
Show the people that are actually being paid...
You don't go to a Taylor Swift concert to watch Travis Kelce in between the songs.

Jealousy.
Yes, there’s some overexposure, but it’s not a personal affront. Just chill. They show her at the games for just seconds.
As for her personally, how is it possible to “hate” a young, successful, attractive, talented billionaire? Sure, nobody wants that.
It’s really just proof how many men live in their mom’s basement(s) and are angry at the world because of their general ineptitude. 😉

From what I've heard she's ruthless but also a crybaby. She copyright strikes people for using her music on Youtube, she claims other artists copy her music and have sued her for it, she still whines about the Kanye West incident among other things. She's super popular, she'll get hate for that alone.
uncalled4 · 56-60, M
It's inevitable that there will be backlash to someone super popular. I don't get it, though; she doesn't strike me as up her own butt like some stars are, and for my money, she keeps getting better and better, especially as she matures. Couldn't care less about her politics or anything else.
