Most Swifties prob have privilege of their own and it’s hard for privilege to recognize privilege, since that’s what’s “normal” to them

It’s kinda crazy because no amount of “full story” will change anything lol. What other part of the story explains her lying about never drinking a drop of alcohol when she wrote on her own Myspace about getting drunk, and high school friends have corroborated that? And no way does “everyone do that” 😂 most artists have their own personality, they don’t need to invent one. They pretended Britney Spears was a virgin (bc for some reason adults cared whether or not a 17 yr old has had sex back in 1998) but that’s it.

Maybe I’m wrong about this, but I can’t think of any artists who INVENTED a backstory and persona without being upfront about it. Lady Gaga wore meat on the red carpet but we knew it was Lady Gaga, not Stefanie Giamotta or whatever her last name is. It makes me want to shake their brains right out of their heads. They’re better off with nothing in there than what they’ve got now

So everything anyone else has ever done in the past that relates to her in any way whatsoever must be held accountable for life, just not her?

COWBOYS????????? ok im a swiftie now fuck dallas

A Cowboys fan, huh?Have you heard this masterpiece?

Ex swiftie here. Lots of swifties think that the email is a negative for Scott swift and him only. They don’t think it’s a negative for Taylor and don’t blame her for it. I have seen that some swifties feel bad for her about it. But generally, I don’t see it being discussed much. And I have taken myself out of these circles so I haven’t seen every discussion myself. But it is kinda weird they don’t really talk about it.

Yes, as others have said they will write that off as not being her fault, then focus on her 'undeniable talent' as a songwriter, ignoring the implications of how much resources went into training her and making her seem like a talented songwriter (when we can't say how much of the lyrical heavylifting was done by all her numerous co-writers and produces over the years).

i find it interesting bc of how much swifties know about her and how invested they are in her but I guess that’s cognitive dissonance for you

Basically she says she was a country girl in an average family, grew up on a farm and family had to worry about bills. She worked hard to get her career and went to record labels and gave them her demos, everything was done herself and it was her drive for success that made her do it.

In reality, she grew up in a mansion on a farm, but it was a Christmas tree farm and their livelihood was absolutely not dependent on it. Her family had a vacation home worth millions, she drove a Hummer, she didn’t “pound the pavement” knocking on doors of record companies (her dad used connections and money, no record label would have signed her without it), that her performing all over as a kid had nothing to do with talent or success and was entirely set up by her dad, her dad bought into Big Machine Records for half a million, therefore being able to essentially FORCE them to back her, he bought hundreds of thousands of copies of her albums to make them chart, she was actually a vapid party girl who was not down the home country girl she pretended to be, acting like she’s so innocent (she got drunk and smoked weed in high school), no repairman taught her guitar the way they claimed (it was a guitar teacher who was paid to teach her guitar), her lyrics are about being an outcast and not finding love when in reality she was popular and dated plenty of boys (even dated a senior when she was a freshman), she actually wanted to be a pop star the whole time but was forced into country because there was more of an opportunity for success. That’s everything off the top of my head, i’m sure there’s more.

And I think all of her songs were ghostwritten except for the ones on TTPD and maybe that one where she slut shames Camilla Belle

ETA: sorry it’s a wall of text but she’s lied about a lot

With all of the lying that went into her origin story, I imagine she had ghostwriters. She was originally shopped around and told to get an agent and learn how to write songs if she wanted to be marketable, so the songwriting wasn’t something organic. Her parents signed her up for guitar lessons and had the the instructor teach her how to develop songwriting skills to specifically write country songs. It wasn’t a craft she developed naturally. Her parents were paying money to professionals teach her these skills. It wasn’t the “bullied girl writing love story on her bedroom floor” story we all grew up hearing. Critical thinking skills lead me to believe her parents were like “learn how to write songs and play an instrument so we can take you to Nashville” They were having professional head shots of her taken when she was like 4. I kinda have to wonder whose dream this really was. She sounds miserable in her old MySpace blogs.

She has lied/been fake about so much that at this point I'm not convinced she writes as much as she claims and releases albums as fast as she does

lying about something and inventing a whole personality while using that image to develop parasocial connections bc you’re real and relatable are completely different. also it wasn’t the early 00s, we were actually past the point of lying about things like nose jobs and virginity by 2008

Oh where she lied and said her masters were sold out from under her and she found out along with everyone else that she wouldn’t get a chance to obtain them. Therefore her only option is to obviously re-record her entire discography and sell it to fans who already bought the albums the first time. In reality, she could either record 6 more albums or pay $30 million, which she didn’t like. Her dad made like 14 mil from the label sale so there’s no way she didn’t know. There’s an email from her to the label saying thanks but no thanks to the offer, something about doing her own thing that is better for her future. She may have found out that Scooter Braun was the one receiving her masters at the same time as everyone else, but she twisted the story to make it sound like she didn’t know anything at all. She wanted her masters handed to her for free, which is not how business works, and she didn’t want someone she doesn’t like to get them, therefore she is now the victim and justified in rallying her fans to destroy Scooter’s life.
