Hot take: using Taylor for comfort and then lashing out when she changes
So there has been a little bit of a crazy reaction to Taylor getting her haircut and my hot take is that people use Taylor to manage anxieties in such a way others use rewatching the same comfort tv shows.
Like with comfort tv shows, they have been watched a thousand times so there are no surprises or changes and people have favourites episodes and whenever they need a comfort blanket or whatever, they can just watch it.
Its the same with Taylor except Taylor does change, her hair, her clothes, her relationships (for the last time), her music genres, her friends - all normal human things.
Its not that people don't like the changes, its that they can't handle them emotionally because they have come to use one version of Taylor as a comfort and then she changes.
And then others consider changes to be easter eggs because thats their version of comfort tv.
