Ooh you’re so edgy! Not like all the other girls at all! Shall we have a party for you? Will we invite Kanye?

This is really my response.
You don't have to like her, plenty don't.

See also all sports players, actors, religious leaders etc.

But a female predominantly supported by other females is what is worth running down.

Yeah OP you’re so different, you really stand out, no one else has said this about TS or her fans (apart from on the billion other similar threads).

lemonmeringueno3 · 25/06/2024 18:46

I like her and her music but my god some of her fans are obsessive.

You need to calm down.

😂😂😂

And we see you over there on the internet, comparing all the girls who are killing it. But we figured you out. We all know now, we all got crowns. You need to calm down.

(perfect)

EstellaWaitHereForMe · 25/06/2024 18:48

But you're talking about literally millions of people.

I like maybe 10 or so of her songs. Am I an annoying Swiftie?

TwattyMcFuckFace · 25/06/2024 18:48

Not keen on TS

But I love seeing happy people enjoying themselves and getting excited.

Especially given the amount of misery in the world.

I can't imagine getting annoyed by this sort of thing.

MrsLeonFarrell · 25/06/2024 18:50

So casually cruel in the name of being honest

LlynTegid · 25/06/2024 18:50

Not to my taste. However we are not talking about worshipping a misogynist, someone married to a former drug dealer, or use of the N word.

People perhaps have reacted to the unpleasantness of war, Covid, the nasty government we have (and other countries think Trump as an example), by wanting something bland and inoffensive.

I agree. My lovely teen granddaughter and her friends got dressed up for the show, and had a great time! Did no harm to anyone, I thought it was so good to see them having fun after their exams.

2ndMrsdeWinter · 25/06/2024 18:54

There are lots of things I dislike.

I can’t be bothered starting threads about it because nobody gives a shit.

You do you and let others do them.

Like, can you just not step on our gowns?

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 25/06/2024 18:55

So sick of these repetitive "Cool Girl" threads

ODFOD

HandsDown84 · 25/06/2024 18:59

There have been more threads bitching about her than actual pro-Taylor threads. Fact. Most of them have been deleted.

Lokipokey1 · 25/06/2024 19:02

Why is it so much fun to shit on what teen girls like? I had all this with Twilight when I was younger, and the hatred of boy bands. Remember the Beatles were considered a bit rubbish when most of their fans were teenage girls - suddenly men jump on it and it becomes cool. No wonder anything women are into is treated as something less than and a ‘guilty pleasure’. Can’t you just let people like things without judging them for something so inoffensive! Save your judgement for idiots that love Farage, Trump, Andrew Tate et al.

randoname · 25/06/2024 19:07

AlizeeEasy · 25/06/2024 18:42

It’s a long lasting phenomenon that people will always shit on the things that young girls like.

feel free to ignore the things that annoy you

This!
I could wang on about how wonderful she is and how the concerts have been amazing. But if you don’t like her, that’s fine!

reallyworriedjobhunter · 25/06/2024 19:07

Haters gonna hate

Sondheimisademigod · 25/06/2024 19:37

I didn't get the whole Rollermania thing; mid-calf-tartan-hemmed-trousers, tartan scarves around the wrist, hedgehog haircuts, etc. Then the 'bye, bye, baby-ing' all over the place...
On the other hand, I was fully signed up to the David Essex Romany look in 'All the fun of the fair' era, so, horses for courses

It’s a cult 😂 there’s something very twee about it.

😂😂😂. thats hilarious.. its a cult! there have been bands and entertainers for years and years people have gone mad over... The Beatles, Queen, Take That, Robbie Williams, Spice Girls.. there's so many... just cos you don't enjoy what she does doesn't mean its anything sinister... probably means you're just getting old

EmeraldRoulette · 25/06/2024 19:54

lots of things annoy me

strangely, fans of anything isn't one of them. I wouldn't walk into a Star Trek convention or whatever.

i'm 18 years in and somehow I don't feel I'm in a cult 😂

To paraphrase the current meme....

This is Swifties before and after your opinion OP 🫶

So is someone standing with a gun to your head forcing you to listen to her music.

I dont see the hype about a lot of celebs so I don't give them headspace and certainly don't start threads about them.

Shedbythebins · 25/06/2024 20:03

notnowmarmaduke · 25/06/2024 18:34

I dont find them annoying so much as confusing. She is just a singer Shes ok, but I find her average, as far as singers go. She doesn't really stand for anything or have any sort of message, as far as I can see

She is the message

YeahWhateverGoAway · 25/06/2024 20:08

I'm not a Swiftie, neither is my DD. But we do like her music and went to see her at Wembley on Sunday. It was a fab show, great vibe, lots of people swapping friendship bracelets and having a great evening. What is possibly not to like.

There are tons of things I don't like nor get, but I don't go to them or run others down.

EstellaWaitHereForMe · 25/06/2024 20:12

Have you ever read that Taylor Swift quote where she says something like 'the worst kind of people look down on others for the things they like'.

That's you, you big old misery!

Shedbythebins · 25/06/2024 20:12

I went on Sunday @YeahWhateverGoAway it was fantastic!

UnctuousUnicorns · 25/06/2024 20:14

I can only name one TS song (Shake it Off?), and I don't know how it goes. But she's not doing me, or anyone else any harm, so...? 🤷‍♀️ Nobody has to listen to her music, or read anything about her if they don't wish to.
