Taynbowswift - A Display Of Color

This is so reminiscent of when me and my gay bestie got too drunk and tried making out 🫠

TAYLOR SWIFT & TRAVIS KELCE singing "Love Story" at the Chiefs Super Bowl afterparty (Feb 12, 2024)

As you may be aware we had to close our DMs due to the uncontrolled abuse we were receiving. I am so sorry to all the survivors seeking help and solace in our DMs, but the death threats were escalating in violence and descriptiveness so we needed to close it for our own wellbeing.

I want to start by saying I am so sorry. I am so sorry to all the survivors who now feel completely helpless after this verdict. I am sorry to the victims who now feel they can't speak up about their abuse for fear of legal reprisal. I am so sorry to the silent victims who now feel like they won't be believed. I believe you.

This may be a dark thought, but one thing I want to make clear: please, do not hurt yourself or do anything you can't take back. I know it may seem like there is no hope, but we have no idea how this is going to turn out. She can appeal. Any settlement will be paid by her insurance, not by her directly. If anything, this gross miscarriage of justice and clear violation of freedom of speech could trigger a big legal reprisal and there may be organisations willing to represent her pro bono. I have already seen lots of prominent feminists and domestic violence organisations condemn the verdict, and the collective outrage could trigger real change.

All of us are worried about Amber's wellbeing. Thankfully she has a beautiful baby daughter to love and an incredibly tight network of friends and family that support her through everything.

I would also like to thank all of the people who have supported this blog -- allies, survivors, feminists, male victims, ex-Depp fans. We will get through this together and we won't stop fighting until Amber gets justice.

The large number of songs Taylor Swift has made that are about forbidden love is very telling, if you ask me. Not to mention how she’s constantly referencing Christianity, and churches, and old-fashioned beliefs, and sin, and religion in general. Like, are y’all really not hearing her?

And there’s a huge amount of Taylor Swift songs where she uses the pronoun “you” for the muse, not describing them as a man nor a woman, whilst also mentioning one or more of her past love interests, describing them as “Kens” and “playthings for her to use”, talking about how she’s been toying them around and how they never satisfied her in the same way her current muse does… the boys and their expensive cars have never taken her quite where her current muse does. And isn’t it funny how the muse in question is almost never explicitly stated to be a man in songs like this?

I just find it strange how so many people seem to completely miss this. Taylor Swift haters often use the argument “All her songs are about her exes” when hating on her, but if you ask me, “All her songs are about forbidden love, religious guilt to some degree and how society will never accept her and her love” is much more accurate.

I mean I’m a fan but this makes some really valid points about privilege.

Taylor Swift’s best friend got married on a plantation…you can’t have those associations and not have white privilege pouring out of your asshole

ok let's make something very clear: Taylor Swift is not a baddie.

she a spoiled white woman who grew up very wealthy and who's individual carbon footprint is larger than the entirety of some small nations.

you know who is a southern baddie? Dolly Parton.

grew up in absolute poverty in a shack with dirt floors

(TS has a rich family and spent every Xmas in NYC)

modeled her style after the town trollop, who she thought was the most beautiful woman in the world, and embraced her sexuality.

(TS retains the image of the young innocent virgin white girl despite being 35 years old and every one of her songs is about a man)

wrote a song about the stupidity of the American work system

(TS is a billionaire with two private jets)

has supported the queer community for decades even through some of its darkest times like the AIDS crisis

(TS uses the queer community like a prop)

started a scientific organization to help cure viruses like AIDS and that even helped develop the Covid vaccine

(TS made the last superbowl all about her becauses she was dating one of the players)

has run a charity since 1995 that sends millions of books to children in poverty, particularly the rural south where she grew up

(TS has done nothing for the south and its problems despite her southern belle persona)

"But she told off Trump! Thats something!"

Honey thats the absolute bare minimum.

That's telling someone 'bless you' after they sneeze.

That's holding the door open for someone in a wheelchair.

Thats waving back to a little kid when they wave at you.

It takes 0 risk and 0 effort and should not be a point of praise.

"Well her southern fans and sponsors didn't like it."

So? Woman is a billionaire with connections all over the world. She literally doesn't need them.

Bottom line: Taylor Swift remains an egotistical bourgeoisie white cunt who should be known for her pollution levels instead of her mid music.

While Dolly remains the bad bitch she's been since the 1970s.

normalize my 12th grade English teacher, who admitted that his favorite TV show was Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and when a male student suggested that it was because Buffy/Sarah Michelle Gellar was hot, wrinkled his face like he’d bitten into something rotten and dead, and said, “At my age (he was 53), there is nothing less sexy than a teenager. You’re all disgusting messes.” It was 1999, I was 17, and I’d grown up in conservative Christian schools and churches. In my life I’d heard heard dozens of sermons from male preachers and teachers and even some older students, whining about how hard it was to be a dude and not commit the sin of thinking sexual thoughts, and how they needed women to wear long skirts and cover their bodies to not objectify them

and my bitter, misanthropic, atheist Brit Lit teacher, who hated my class because he was obsessed with teaching Tom Sawyer but got stuck with Shakespeare and Jane Austen, was the first, and this day the last man I have ever heard articulate a rebuttal from the depths of his soul to the idea that it was normal for teenage girls to be desirable to middle aged men

“This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal.”

full on offense but asylums, psych wards and any other variation of mental health facilities are not and will never be an aesthetic. mental illness is not an aesthetic.

and yes, this is coming from someone who has been hospitalized several times, fully angry that a white billionaire can be her quirky silly i-need-a-lobotomy [insert a tiktok reference] self while simultaneously having access to every single health treatment in the world.

while the rest of the world struggles to have access to a diagnosis, medication or human rights pertaining mental health.

"you wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me", no, taylor. YOU wouldn't last an hour in the real world, where private jets are only ever seen on television and mental illness often means you cannot get a fucking job.

Y’all…. I’m speechless. This is a comment Karlie left on her new YouTube video today…. Not straight… I-
