My eyes have been opened over the years
Hey y’all, this is my first post. I was once a major fan of Taylor since the Speak Now era. I owned every album on CD (I’m elder Gen Z), spent hours making friendship bracelets, went to the eras tour and the movie. But I’m not sure if it’s my frontal lobe developing now but now I get so annoyed seeing her, the abnormal amount of variants have left a nasty taste in my mouth, and her attitude towards younger artists like Olivia and Billie is weird af. I’m not a major Olivia fan but it disturbed me the whole cruel summer/deja vu ordeal as it was finally broken down to me. I find it hypocritical as Taylor actually copied quite a bit herself. But Billie on the other hand, I do ADORE (not gonna go more for my love for Billie as this is not a billie stan Reddit), and the Swifties had been so creepily hostile towards Billie lately until I can’t even associate myself with the fandom. Making terrible incest jokes, body shaming, saying her Tourette’s was fake…I can’t just deal with the fandom anymore. Something vile is just with the whole thing as they keep appearing on posts about Billie like some pest infestation and I don’t have any Raid to spray. I’m sure they are like that with other singers too as Charli, Ariana, and of course Olivia Rodrigo come to mind.
I can’t deal with Taylor’s greed anymore. Releasing new variants each time I sneeze and her cult fanbase buys it. Her last album was an insult to the music artform as a whole.
Also the racism. The Swifties act like they love Beyonce right now to target other artists but they are just token stanning Beyonce. (I am actually a black Beyonce fan, went to Renaissance and Cowboy Carter and saw her as a kid when she just left Destiny’s child) and i can tell you as soon as Beyoncé beats Taylor in something? Suddenly it is slur galore…it became more apparent in the Eras tour/Renaissance debacle). They probably only know single ladies and crazy in love let’s be real…they don’t listen to anything outside of Taylor and whoever Taylor tell them is safe for them to listen to (Sabrina, Gracie and more recently Sombr) No one else…it’s a scary hive mind and I cannot deal with it
