#at least katy perry owned her corporate fakeness...taylor tries to pretend otherwise

So...is Taylor Swift paying more talented musicians' PR agents to advertise for her new music/tour? It pains me to see actually exceptional talents like Phoebe Bridgers and Hayley Williams and Muna touting her around on social media...like I promise you, she has enough goddamn publicity.

And it reeks of that whole "girl squad" thing from a few years back...opportunistic, artificial, exclusively with conventionally attractive white musicians (from what I've seen), and not as good as disguising those motivations as other famous people crossovers are.

I genuinely do not understand the magnitude of her appeal at all. It will be real nice when this promotion cycle is over. I prefer to filter tags and ignore her mediocre, immature, intensely self-obsessed, all-decisions-made-by-a-boardroom-of-investors music and 'personality.'

#sorry followers + mutuals i know some of you all like her #obviously taste is very subjective and she hasn't done anything TRULY heinous #except 'look what you made me do' #so don't let me yuck your yum. life your life #I've just never liked her and never will #not because she's a woman...that's an accusation i see thrown around a lot 🙄 #but because she's mediocre + v self-obsessed + emotionally immature #+ she doesn't seem to publicly do or produce anything that a boardroom of investors hasn't approved of #+ she's consistently painted herself as a victim even when that's provably false #i can't vibe with that 🤷‍♀️ #she's not void of talent...yes there's something there #but if her parents weren't rich + supportive she would have topped out at playing the state fair #writing your own songs doesn't put a feather in your cap if the songs themselves aren't good #or at the very least clearly genuine #an authentic artistic expression that isn't just latching on to the latest trend #are you telling me folklore would have happened without phoebe blowing up beforehand?? #at least katy perry owned her corporate fakeness...taylor tries to pretend otherwise #huh. guess i had a lot to say while procrastinating on actual work #taylor swift #music #personal #text #i don't need to see any more stans from actual talent is all I'm saying #i meant live* your life earlier. not life your life 🙃 #edit: okay so apparently those three are all opening up for her on tour in some cities... #makes a little more sense...but at the same time #it's like really? you're so musically gifted #what do you see in her (besides giant crowds + $) #artistically you're miles ahead of her...it's just baffling
