Why does Taylor Swift fall out with everyone?

[ladybirdsanchez]

I've never known anyone so famous for ditching people and then writing songs about them. Why is she so popular? She seems utterly toxic to me.

I like her personally .All kinds of shit is written by DM and the popular press .Lots of Artists bring out music similarly .She is honest ,hardworking and extremely talented .What's not to like?

Billie Eilish was on track to debut her album at number 1 when Taylor Swift swooped in with yet another round of album variants to stop this from happening. It seemed very strategic. Taylor got a hit of backlash for it at the time. I’m not making this up lol.

Yup. She released 34 variants of the life of a showgirl (27 physical, 7 digital) in order to beat Adele’s record. 34. Each one had something limited edition about it to pull fans in.

I think she comes off pretty well in terms of her personality but she completely rinses her fans. Taylor knows her fans will buy any old shit she puts out. So often literally releases the same shit with maybe the only difference being the colour of the disc being different. Same cover art etc. And you will have obsessed fans who buy them all. 30 bloody variants of the same album. She is laughing her way to the bank!

Charli XCX did 22 variants of Brat. Olivia Rodrigo did 18 of her album. Releasing multiple variants is now fairly standard for artists wanting to break records/who have a big fanbase. I think it's pretty horrible for anyone to do it, but you can't really complain that arguably the biggest pop star in the world is doing so when there's precedent AND demand for it.

I don't know her personally, so I can't say if she falls out with people . I do think she trys to avoid controversy but that's understandable given the horrible time she's had in the past in the press. I enjoy some of her music and don't think too deeply about her private life. She's made a lot of money fair play to her.

But it’s often 99% the same. It’s a complete cash grab. Taylor and her team know how to cultivate a parasocial relationship with fans to basically rinse them for every single penny.

I wish the laughing emoji was still available. this is hilarious.

She absolutely "exploits" her fans. if you mean.... comes up with lots of things they want to buy and are happy to pay for.

On that basis, dd is being massively exploited.

I am being hugely exploited by Amazon, Waitrose, Mint Velvet and Cult Beauty as well.

Exactly. One or two LE tracks or a LE cover and people go feral for it. When you divide the number of sales the latest album made by the number of variants it’s about 130k per variant. Nothing impressive about it to be honest.

So let me get this straight… she’s a bitch for ditching people, but shes also a bitch for not ditching people?

22 is 1/3 less than 34, though? Surely you see why 34 is absolutely insane.

She's not young, she's 35 😆

She talks about how she gets more stick compared to male artists re her personal life. But Ed Sheeran isn’t writing thinly veiled digs into song lyrics about huge celebs Jake Gylenhaal, Harry Styles etc.

second verse-

On my hotel door
I don't even know if she knows what for
She was crying on my shoulder, I already told ya
Trust and respect is what we do this for
I never intended to be next (you bastard)
But you didn't need to take him to bed, that's all
And I never saw him as a threat (you bastard)
Until you disappeared with him to have sex, of course
It's not like we were both on tour
We were staying on the same fucking hotel floor
And I wasn't looking for a promise or commitment
But it was never just fun, and I thought you were different
This is not the way you realized what you wanted
It's a bit too much, too late if I'm honest
And all this time, God knows I'm singing

(the “him” is widely believed to be referring to Niall Horan from One Direction)

People I love support Farage. I don't stop loving them for being, in my eyes, wrong and deluded.

one song, as opposed to multiple albums.

she has songs calling people out on every single album. Including other women.

Did you girlboss too close to the sun?

You do know that nobody has to buy them, right? And if people think she’s timing her releases to beat X or Y person to a number one spot or a record, well there’s nothing stopping that person’s fans from mobilising to make sure it doesn’t happen. But they don’t. She’s nurtured an enormous, loyal and passionate fan base and should be applauded for that, but everyone uses it as another stick to beat her with.

There are quite a few MN lefties that consider anyone to the right of Jeremy Corbyn to be a fascist who should be cut out of your life completely.

i also found her latest album completely out of touch. She spent the entire thing whining about how hard her life is, how she’s hated by the entire industry and she’s public enemy number one.

A couple days later it’s announced that she’s now worth 2 billion. Get real

Of course they don’t. But she uses FOMO marketing to make people feel like they’ll be missing out on something huge if they don’t buy them all. Making songs available for twenty four hours only to make sure people buy the latest variant

So fucking what?! She can write about whatever she likes. What would you prefer for her to write about?

Are people not allowed to dislike her? Personally I much preferred folklore and evermore.

35 is young for someone to be expected to give opinions on politics

No, it’s really not.
