I sometimes wonder how channels like CBS and CNN still have so many people tune who into their “news” each day. Then I see threads like this one.

Not sure but I was able to get tickets so I’m taking my 7 year old daughter. My ex (her mom) offered to bring her but I told her I’m good, I’ll go to find her a stepmom there.

It’s all a psy op. The Kelce connection is just too convenient.

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.

What's weird about her career is that she seems to get bigger as she ages.

Musicians, especially pop stars, are normally like NFL running backs - an explosive peak, a rapid decline and then they fade off into the autograph show/nostalgia gig phase.

Probably says more about the gaping void in music over the last 10 years than it does her talent. Although to her credit she has a reputation as a tireless worker who is wonderful and generous to the team and bandmates that support her. That probably helps. Past superstars developed insufferable egos, addictions, personality problems and imploded on themselves regardless of how empty the song well was.

Because her fanbase was high schoolers when she first started out (as a high schooler herself), many of which now in their 30’s have kids of their own who are exposed to and like T Swift because of their moms/parents.

This applies to my wife and kids lol. Her music isn’t really my cup of tea but she not some terrible person or anything.

She has some of the biggest shine and some of the biggest hate as a mega global superstar. Starting threads like this just adds to the “Taylor Swift Phenomenon”

So frick off. You sound like a miserable prick.

Did I offend you by saying Tay Tay is not that great? You sure put a lot of effort into crafting a litany of defensive, smart arse replies.

That guy may or may not be a miserable prick. I don’t know.

But you typed all that and didn’t catch even a whiff of irony?

I only recently heard of her maybe 3 years ago and i'm 45.

I think there's 2 logical explanations. She's the Madonna or someone similar of my generation.

There's not many other singers the young girls can idolize who's clean. I've been surprised the free media promotes her getting with a white masculine football player. My last girlfriend thinks he's gay and it's all staged tho

I rank that up there with 9/11.

I watched our country being attacked be an enemy, only the enemy looked like me. I couldn’t believe it was happening. What the hell makes anyone believe that was a good thing.

And when trump called them off they left laughing like it was a day at the county fair.

They took the American flag off the capitol, threw it on the ground, and hung a trump flag up where it was, broke windows out and tried to hang the vice president. That’s what used to be called treason and was severely punished. I can’t believe what a weak response that got.

For those who will smite me, it happened, and if you condone you should question your so called patriotism.

The lyrics to many of her songs convey the thoughts and emotions that many young women can't otherwise express. It's not that hard to figure out.

It is irrational .

What I don’t understand is hating on her?

Like her or not / like her music or not, you have to respect her.

She isn’t like a 1 album / 1 song hit and bust - she has been around for 15 years across multiple genres.

Yeah, the Travis Kelce stuff is annoying but it isn’t like she is out there asking for the publicity or making statements drawing attention to herself?

I don’t get the hate and not sure what singer is a better role model - for the person who said Katy Perry, Jesus get your head checked.

I get the teenyboppers liking her. They have always liked dreck for decades. It’s the pathetic, limp wristed Soy grown men fans that I laugh at. What losers.

I simply matched the energy he came at me with. Same way I treat my family and friends.

I won’t raise my voice at you unless you come at me that way first. It’s fair to match someone’s energy if they get ugly and come at you sideways first.

He’s correct in saying I don’t have to listen to Taylor Swift, but he also doesn’t have to read my thread or comment on it for that matter.

Agreed. I doubt most of these comments are even from Louisianians. Its coming from the government's propaganda machine.

Taylor Swift and pop culture are a distraction from the real issues. That's the only reason they exist. Neither party is representing the public anymore. One day we will have "glasnost" just like the Soviet Union in the late 80's and it will prove that our system isn't much different.

I don’t need any help sitting tall in a chair. Do you have to sit on a catalog or something?
