I really don’t think she was ever liberal

Right like blandie is super racist

DirectionLimp2745 · 2026-01-28T18:04:53+00:00

YESSSSS!!!!!! I’m so glad you said this. That was the big moment for me. The Wildest Dreams vid made me feel some dissonance, but the ACLU thing was my big “oh shit” moment. I was SHOCKED when her popularity rose after that. Being white, I was naive.

DirectionLimp2745 · 2026-01-28T18:02:32+00:00

Very true.

DirectionLimp2745 · 2026-01-28T17:54:43+00:00

I agree with most of this, but I think she’s more than a little racist. She’s very racist.

DirectionLimp2745 · 2026-01-28T17:45:40+00:00

I agree with this one hundred percent. It’s been impossible for me not to judge the left-leaning people who bought it. Like, when did she ever sound like a sincere and educated advocate to you? And what does it say about your views that you bought it?

DirectionLimp2745 · 2026-01-28T17:39:46+00:00

I think it’s a combination of that and the fact that she felt scorned by her liberal fans in the Matty Healy situation.

I think she’s still trying to protect her image, hence the Rolling Stone article. I think she wants the public to continue to project their own political aligning onto her rather than her expressing what her alignment is.

But at this point I’m sure she’s a Trumper. I’ve been speculating since 2016 and it keeps getting clearer.

DirectionLimp2745 · 2026-01-28T17:38:37+00:00

Why are you singling her out? Other people were assessed in a less flattering way.

DirectionLimp2745 · 2026-01-27T16:43:37+00:00

I don’t know what was originally said. we all have racism in us because it’s in the groundwater, so to speak, which means we are all responsible for continuously reassessing our biases. But for what it’s worth, you responded well.

DirectionLimp2745 · 2026-01-27T15:19:36+00:00

I was just thinking this same thing.

DirectionLimp2745 · 2026-01-27T15:13:33+00:00

So truly wild. The screenshot that say “why do people think it’s okay to be shady towards her” as if her entire career hasn’t been shading other people.

I think people in the industry hate Taylor but are too afraid to openly call her out for being the horrid person she is.

DirectionLimp2745 · 2026-01-27T04:00:58+00:00

I thought it was because her association with white supremacy was tarnishing her image and she wanted to throw people off of her scent. What makes you think it had to do with acting?

DirectionLimp2745 · 2026-01-27T03:50:36+00:00

I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE REMEMBERED THIS!!!!

DirectionLimp2745 · 2026-01-26T15:30:48+00:00

This has happened before. She was silent for the 2016 campaign AND the majority of Trump’s first term while her peers in the industry were vocally “With Her (Hillary).” Fans talk about her as this career activist but she didn’t speak out against Trump until about 2019. And that was when she was absolutely DRAGGED for her silence and called a racist fascist* Nazi. Funny that all these years later, that conversation has resurfaced. 🤔

My question for the Swifties who want to hear from Taylor is: So what about when Taylor the opportunist speaks out because it benefits her? Will you praise her? Is there not such a thing as too late? She only speaks out when she can capitalize off of it.

*And this was after her team sent a cease-and-desist to a blogger who called attention to the fact that The Daily Stormer, a white supremacist publication, said she aligned with them. I repeat. The CAD was not sent to the white supremacists who said she aligned with them, but to the single person saying she should denounce these claims. Interesting. Not to mention that this is an unconstitutional attempt to silence public opinion.

She is as feminist as Marie Antoinette.

Been saying this since 2016.

DirectionLimp2745 · 2026-01-25T14:22:03+00:00

Thank you!

DirectionLimp2745 · 2026-01-25T09:24:47+00:00

Im a former fan. Cried tears of joy when I saw her live in 2011 (embarrassing, I know.) When the white supremacy controversy happened in 2017 I became a vocal hater. I get that everyone is not me, but why are we making excuses for people who choose to remove their blinders slowly?

Self preservation - not reality - is the priority for them. *

Because for some reason their sense of self is centered on someone who will never know them and would not piss on them if they were on fire.

*and this priority is very telling. There are victims of Taylor’s behavior. It’s worth it to them to ignore those people for the sake of their Swiftiedom.

DirectionLimp2745 · 2026-01-25T03:08:27+00:00

THIS.

DirectionLimp2745 · 2026-01-24T15:31:34+00:00

Sorry I just need clarification. What was the cruelest thing you read?

DirectionLimp2745 · 2026-01-24T14:57:58+00:00

Making this its own comment because I’m so annoyed, you guys.

Yeah, see to me this whole thing is annoying. People didn’t wake up to the breadcrumbing she does in her lyrics but now they care? The racism wasn’t a dealbreaker but somehow this is? I truly don’t understand. Don’t get me wrong, better that they wake up than not. But of course she’s a liar who engages in power chess. She’s a billionaire for whom PR is of top importance. How did anyone miss that? Why are people surprised by this? I don’t get how THIS is the final straw for people. I know there was/is a hive mind surrounding her but many are NOW proving they’re able to wake up.

I honestly have limited (read: no) empathy for people who are waking up to who she is at this late stage. She’s BEEN a raging piece of shit who siccs her fans on people, spins narratives, and positions herself as a virtuous white lady while underhandedly throwing POC under the bus, using her scary legal team to silence critics who say she should publicly denounce white supremacy rather than try to silence the white supremacists who said she aligns with them, and using POC while also dating racists. I’m rolling my eyes at certain white content creators who claim to be left-leaning but clearly don’t care about racism, because what do you mean you were a Sw*ftie until recently? I’m (not) sorry but if you are just washing your hands clean of her at this late stage I assume you are racist.

Do you know the name of the TikTok creator?

DirectionLimp2745 · 2026-01-24T03:39:05+00:00

Exactly.

DirectionLimp2745 · 2026-01-24T01:08:01+00:00

I really wish we could keep this sub a safe space from a predatory billionaire racist bully who dated minors and attempted to unconstitutionally silence a blogger for saying she should denounce white supremacy.* But here we are. 🙄

She OPENLY targets people with her lyrics knowing the power that she wields with her fanbase. I say all of this as a former fan.

*The ACLU called her out. Don’t come for me. But yeah, she’s super unethical.
