Taylor Swift learning that you can’t support PRIDE, but you’d better support PRIDE

Taylor Swift may have stirred up some “Bad Blood” with social justice warriors for not being sufficiently woke in her new pro-LGBT song. On Friday the pop star released the lyric video to the single “You Need to Calm Down” and on Monday she released the official music video which appears to take place in a gay, rainbow-themed trailer park and features dozens of (mostly) LGBT celebrity cameos.

Swift even virtue-signals with shots of angry, illiterate, toothless hicks protesting and holding signs that say, “Get A Brain Morans!” and "Homasekualty Is Sin!" She sings to those who don’t support the LGBT agenda:


quote:

But not everyone on the left is happy about this new LGBT-friendly pop song timed to come out during Gay Pride Month. Vox called it “a complicated example of Pride Month’s commodification,” Cosmopolitan complained the music video “conforms to plenty of stereotypes about Pride,” and Slate charged that “for many queer people celebrating Pride Month, it feels hopelessly, insultingly out of place.”


quote:

Continuing the clap back against “You Need to Calm Down,” Vice called the song “pretty clueless” and claimed, “Filtering serious issues of advocacy through the prism of Swift's bubblegum pop persona minimizes the subject matter.”

Esquire similarly said, “Equating online haters with the personal and societal struggle of LGBTQ+ people is, at best, tone deaf… And such a calculated move to leverage LGBTQ rights into her own image seems gross.”

The Atlantic was also uneasy with the “queasy double message,” saying, “The singer’s pro-gay single strangely compares her struggles with fame to more dangerous kinds of persecution.” According to the piece, “The fear for many queer people is less that allies might profit off them than that allies might change and defang what queerness means.” In other words, no straights allowed.

Another Esquire article called the video “strangely both gay and sexless,” wishing for more overt gay sexuality on screen,


shite is laughable at this point.

She is super emo and might off herself if this continues.

I think it's funny how she was this sweet, innocent pretty little girl who just wanted to follow a dream while she was country in Nashville and now that she's in Hollywood she's turned into this huge SJW count and pisses off the base that helped to make her famous in the first place. Just a big "frick you" to her fans who have been with her since the beginning.

This song and video by her is just another example of "putting it out there". I don't want this shite in my face.

No, YOU need to calm down, Tay Tay bae.

Good. The LGBT community should start to realize more and more that most of this is just pandering. It's up to them to then decide if the ends justify the means.

Or she's just pandering like everyone else.

She tries a cheap way to profit off of people's sexuality and gets taken down a notch for it? Good.

That song isn’t nearly as good as her previous ones.

The left is just so sensitive.

Fall in line! But if you don’t fall in line correctly, you are part of the problem.

Pandering simply means they will destroy you once there are no "real enemies" to destroy. She puts out her little song, and BOOM, response is immediate. These people--Leftist activists--cannot be reasoned with or satisfied.

The smart thing to do was to take the middle road and not get involved in anything political.

Taylor Swift has long been an asset of the new world order.

Most famous musicians are. Katy Perry, Britney Spears, etc. all slaves of the new world order/illuminati and do what they are told to do.

Their music even alludes to them being slaves.

Did you even read the article? The people are mad because it's pandering and even more about her own issues so it's narcissistic as well.

Some of you just try to get outraged by libs. I think the backlash to this song is deserved.
