Did she ever say anything publicly about Toby Keith after his death? I’m not talking about some interview from 10 years ago.

This might be the most honest and best answer I have ever seen on Tigerdroppings. I couldn't even think of a follow-up joke.

I'm sure she will be crying in her billion dollars because you don't like her.

She has bad cases of both butter face and noassatall.


I don't think you understand what one of these mean.

quote:

Many singers out there have much better singing voices with better sound, strength, and range


So listen to them and stop listening to Taylor Swift.

quote:

Katy Perry has a lot more range and can hit more notes than Swift for example.


So listen to Katy Perry.

Like guys who wear players jerseys to games?

I don’t see why many dudes would be fans of hers unless they’re gay.


I don't see why guys would start a thread bitching about a person who is kind of easy to not listen to or see. If you said that you didn't like seeing her during football games I would understand why....but everything you were bitching about you can easily avoid.

For a group that collectively "doesn't give a shite about her looks, her views, or her music," this place starts more threads about her than any other topic on a weekly basis.


Because of the money. That kind of money is the level of playing with monopoly money, Only pushing hundreds around for single tickets that are way beyond close enough to see her lips move...

These are one time expenses with the addition of clothes bought for the occasion, and an overnight stay for out of towners. And it gives the girls a sense of belonging.

Back in the day, if you were in the group who first heard and saw the Beatles, you belonged to a sisterhood. It might be like that

Imagine that being a response when someone calls out the modern media for doing exactly what they do. It doesn’t matter if it’s a pop star or a killer hornet, it’s what the media does.

She puts on a great show and seems to be a very hard worker. What she has done on this tour is not easy at all. Writes all her own music… not sure why all the attention towards her. It’s kinda the effect that Micheal Jackson had in the 80’s. Sure he could dance and put on a good show, but wasn’t that good of a singer and I’ve never seen him play an instrument. But I would never spend $1000 to go see swift or for my girl to see her.

Another fricking internet psychologist. You can look no further than Reddit to see how this stuff works. The entire site is manipulated by military/intelligence, and has the worst censorship on the internet. The heaviest internet traffic on Reddit was recorded to come from Eglin air force base. That should tell you something. Only highly controlled leftist opinions are allowed. Everything else is silenced and deleted. They aren't leftists. They want to control the left in the direction that they want to go. That's why it only supports fringe causes, and not the populist working class like Huey P. Long.

First, there is only a "Taylor Swift phenomenon" because the media says its so.This causes more and more people to follow her. It's simple sociology, which is the study of how the herd thinks. Government intelligence agencies have a ton of these people working for them and manipulate all of it. They manipulate the entire news and entertainment industry and even internet forums like this one, and have their trolls spreading propaganda and disinformation. To make it worse, they have AI chat bots helping their propaganda and disinformation. American intelligence agencies are as bad as the E. German Stasi, which died out in 1989. Listen to JFK's warning back in the 60's about clandestine operations inside the government.


This needs to be in psychology textbooks as exhibit A in mental illness.

Local media will not stfu about her this week. She's been the entire first segment on WWL all day long.


She is one of the biggest pop stars of all time and is having a 3 day concert in New Orleans....I guess when the Super Bowl, Sugar Bowl, National Championship game, Mardi Gras (which definitely does not have all day coverage on any of the local news channels) the local media never covers it at all.

Blasphemy. Micheal Jackson was on a completely different level than she is world wide, and that was long before the internet and social media. Jackson didn’t rely on white womenfolk under 40, she can’t and doesn’t connect to all people around the world like he did.

It’s not like government agencies across the world haven’t done exactly what he’s talking about. That’s not conspiracy theory talk, that’s the truth.

No, somebody that has 36,000 posts on a web forum for over a decade could have a mental illness. Or it should make people wonder if you are on somebody's payroll.

It’s unbelievable the number of people who gush over her and want to use her a a role model? wtf?? What exactly qualifies her to be a great role model? I will never understand celebrity worship from grown adults. It’s one of the most bizarre and useless phenomena around. The obsession is just so bizarre. I just don’t see the great appeal that she has. She’s not that talented of a singer. Many singers out there have much better singing voices with better sound, strength, and range. Katy Perry has a lot more range and can hit more notes than Swift for example. I guess the X-Factor must be that Swift knows how to put on a great show. That’s all I can think of. As far as looks are concerned, she’s quite meh. She has bad cases of both butter face and noassatall. I don’t see why many dudes would be fans of hers unless they’re gay. Ok, rant over.



Pretty much how I feel about people worshipping trump. It makes absolutely no sense.
