Taylor swift fans annoy me

@TheHateIsNotGood Bit confused by that comment, I have probably misunderstood it

18 years later, I can still see why I'm a fan of Taylor Swift. So why would that change (if that's what you meant). Still listen to a lot of 80s bands. I do remember "Winter's Tale" btw but don't know any other David Essex songs. I like that one.

Another thing people might like/be interested in - Blue Nile hard copies of their work sold out, I bet they weren't expecting that. Hope TS references The Devlins in an album, they're underrated IMHO.

Oh for goodness sake. Everyone is entitled to their own likes and dislikes but I find it nasty that people are judged because of it. If it makes people happy then leave them alone. There is enough misery in the world. People really are horrible. It's harmless fun and people liking a successful woman who I am more than happy for my daughters to follow given she is a good role model who is kind to her fans and doesn't use sex to sell herself. You don't see her falling down drunk or abusing people. You see her being generous, humble and helping others. God forbid people are allowed to have their own likes. People have always followed pop stars -leave them be. It's their choice. It's a sad person who has to belittle the choices of others.

Not a fan, but I find yet another thread bashing her and Swifties far more annoying.

Don't listen to Rowan or Marjorie whatever you do.

I had not knowingly heard any of her songs, but as everyone is talking about her, I listened to a couple. They're not really my sort of music but they sounded happy and upbeat.

Given we are just out of a pandemic and the UK is generally in a dire state, it's great that TS is creating such a lot of happiness. From what I've read she is a good person. I'm no expert but I would guess she is producing more national happiness than the Euros at the moment.

(It says more about my age than anything that while watching a video I was wondering which washing machine code her sparkly outfit would need 😂)

My daughter will be thrilled her mere existence annoys you so much!

FWIW I’ve heard Swifties can be a little “intense” online when it comes to defending their idol, but when my daughter told me about watching her live last week it sounded really quite wholesome- swapping friendship bracelets with other people, talking to strangers about their outfits and everyone singing and dancing and having a great time. No trouble at all, great atmosphere and TS puts on a great show. She also makes very generous donations to food banks in each city she’s been to so far. Doesn’t sound so bad imo.

"The worst kind of person is someone who makes someone feel bad, dumb or stupid for being excited about something”

As always, Taylor said it best.

YABU - I really couldn't name a single song of hers but I understand that she composes her own songs and sings them live and puts on a great show. And seems that she's not selling sex as her meal ticket either, which is a bonus compared to many before and now.

I used to be really into David Essex when I was a young teen and many years later I can see why. Before you know it, Taylor will be gone, not that her UK prescence has made the slightest difference to most places.

Let the Swifties enjoy it I say.

@idcatall Isn't that just attention seeking nonsense by idiots?

I scroll by whatever content I'm not following very quickly indeed. Otherwise I guess crap like that would turn up.

It doesn't look like someone who didn't get tickets though. Just fools posing for likes.

What’s the dress code? Naked.

Haters gonna hate

She's just the latest music phenomenon.

See also Michael Jackson, Madonna,
one Direction, Take That, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Elvis etc.

I don’t like the majority of her music and I don’t see the hype also.

But I wouldn’t let myself be annoyed by her fans. That’s really weird.

If you’re annoyed that other people enjoy being part of a fandom it says more about you than them. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I never liked people who sneer at other people's enjoyment of something.

Andrew Tate doesn't like her either so you're in illustrious company, @MumofHennHals.

I'll tell you something right now
I'd rather burn my whole life down
Than listen to one more second of all this bitchin and moanin 😆

You need to Shake it Off OP.

As she says herself :

I would be complex
I would be cool
They'd say I played the field before I found someone to commit to
And that would be ok
For me to do
Every conquest I had made would make me more of a boss to you
I'd be a fearless leader
I'd be an alpha type
When everyone believes ya
What's that like?
I'm so sick of running as fast as I can
Wondering if I'd get there quicker
If I was a man
And I'm so sick of them coming at me again
'Cause if I was a man
Then I'd be the man

It never ceases to amaze me.

For a man to get multiple threads complaining about him, he would need to be a rapist, sex pest or paedophile.

For a women she just needs to be successful.

Misogyny at its finest

What a lovely outlook 🥰

That's strange the only threads I've come across are the ones like this complaining about Taylor Swift. But yes they are pretty annoying

If people are happy and enjoy her music then great ... I am worried about the lengths some people seem to go to just to get tickets because their teenage daughters are 'desperate' and spend extortionate amounts ... I just genuinely hope they can afford them.
Personally I can't imagine spending that sort of money on an evening out ...

I saw it on Instagram a while ago- definitely didn't seek it out.
I just found the original video on youtube -

It’s not mandatory to like her or her fans. If you don’t see the hype then don’t follow her.

I think she has managed to be the soundtrack to a lot of peoples lives, and given space to those who have not been popular or had a hard time at points. From observing ‘swifties’ when taking my niece to a concert I noticed they all seemed to be genuinely nice kind people, and there were a LOT of people. Call it a cult if you will but there are worse things out there !

This made me lol. I find ‘the hype’ annoying too - not least because it makes mums feel they have to spend sometimes thousands on a concert - but NOT people who like Taylor, or Taylor. I think it’s great that they do like her. My peers had Take That and East 17 whose capacity for deep-thought was less clear.
