Taylor is the picture on the Wikipedia article for ‘spiritually israeli’

Regardless of how you feel about her or her music, I feel like this is another example of the internet taking a serious situation (the genocide in Gaza along with the continued occupation of Palestine) and turning it into a random meme that doesn’t even help those affected. I also feel like it gets applied to broadly and targets who are pro Palestine (such as Gracie Abrams) get affected for no reason. Also it’s often just used to disguise antisemitism.

Shaad D’Souza (pitchfork author) reveals that they’ve changed their opinion on TTPD after having time to sit on it without all the noise surrounding it.

Edit: Shaad uses he/him pronouns and I was referring to his opinion, not that of the publication.

Edit 2: I’ve heard contradictory information about whether or not he was the one who reviewed TTPD which is why I initially posted, but he didn’t review it.

Taylor’s Dakota cooperation

So, I actually quite like the Patient zero song, and music video, and I always like 2 female friends doing a project together. Taylor and Dakota seem to have good vibes.

However, I did suddenly realize, while noticing the Patient zero outfits are the same as Dakota wears in her new movie Verity (so the video is a bit of free promotion for the movie), that Dakota is the star of the NEW C Hoover adaption! The last time we saw Taylor being close to a friend was with Blake during the last Hoover adaption. Anyone else found this a strange coincidence? Not trying to throw shade it just suddenly hit me and I couldn’t ignore it.

The current perception of TTPD

I am glad that ttpd is slowly but surely getting it's flowers, because I really liked it and it has some of my favourite songs, seriously though loml KILLS me everytime. Some might say the positive sentiments is because of showgirl being what it is but I would disagree. Because at least in my space of the internet ttpd was starting to get it's praises almost a year after it released, and even a month or two before showgirl was released. I understand why it wasn't so well received at first though, it's one of those albums that grows on you and it's kind of an acquired taste for some. Doesn't help that it was released at the peak of taylormania and it had some of her worst songs and lyrics. And it feeling so unedited is a double edged sword. Good because it gives us an insight into everything she's felt for the past 2 years at the time making it more interesting, bad because it means that it has some songs that are just unneeded cuz no one asked for thank you aimee. Overall ttpd isn't everyone's favourite, but she's one of mine and I'm glad people are seeing the good in her.
