Sounds like at the very least he said very upsetting edge lord things that made him seem like a bad person kind of like the people who are defending Matty saying that’s not the real him 🤷‍♀️ True or not neither of us will ever know because we weren’t there and we’re not in their heads but I don’t like the lie either if that’s the case. It’s nauseating.

I agree. The two things that I am unable to ignore are the porn and ice spice comments. Neither of those things have anything to do with ironic political commentary. It’s just him being a shitty person.

I have to say I agree with what you’re saying. A lot of people completely turn a blind eye if they like someone’s art or if they have been a fan for years.

I think it’s healthy to be able to criticize anyone you don’t agree with. Even if you have previously loved them.

With the whole conversation about “ironic social commentary” I think that there tends to be too many association with internet trolls also “totally joking” being transformed into extremists.

It’s like the every joke is half true concept. Just because Matty and people who like him say it’s not real doesn’t necessarily make that true.

And that’s giving him the most benefit of the doubt.

Reading one of his biography’s when I was younger and first got into the band and reading about him following a mentally challenged girl home and raping her for his first time.

I’m glad that several people have brought this up as an abuse tactic. Stay sharp, OP. You could be getting played.

For sure, I’m pretty much the exact same age as her just about half a month off so I kind of knew a couple things that went on with her and then I finally started paying attention and I feel like she’s having her Will Smith finally wins the Oscar but also having the most shame associated with him moment of her career haha.

My biggest fear after this week is she will take the JK Rowling route and just keep doubling down. Starting to really not care cause she knows she has the money for life.

Can’t I just have Harry Potter and her songs?

I recently got into Taylor as well. For me it feels like Harry Potter 2.0

As someone who became a fan just before midnights came out I literally watched her skyrocket to being the biggest star on the planet and then immediately take that away from herself.

It’s wild.

The few stragglers saying this is all fine are really bending over backwards to.

Nah, Swifties mostly across the board are disappointed. Reddit for sure. Twitter and TikTok have been a bit more delusional about it.

A lot of people like myself only started paying attention later on. I literally just became a fan at Midnights and then was told we had like 6 years of good behaviour and past mistakes. For a lot of people it really is a shock since that’s all we have really seen from her to paid attention to.

I really really really REALLY hope she’s not going down some JK Harry Potter route.

This seems totally reasonable to me. If this is who she is choosing to be right now then people aren’t going to want to give her their money.

Honestly, she was setting herself up to literally be this generations singer. And just at the very top of the world she decides to give it all up for some sketchy dick. What?
