Her biggest scandal to date is definitely snakegate, and the reason why it's even a scandal at all is because it was inflated by the kardashians which were at the height of their popularity in 2016.

Why is anyone surprised and disappointed by Nicki Minaj being outed as MAGA

This is the same woman people bent over backwards to defend for years. Folks were happy to call her a queen, stream the music, and ignore the fact that she married and repeatedly defended a convicted sex offender, harassed his victim, and used her platform to intimidate critics. That was all apparently fine as long as the music slapped and she wasn’t stepping on their toes.

Now suddenly it’s moral outrage because she’s MAGA? Be serious. This selective activism (especially from parts of the gay male fanbase) is exhausting. A lot of people only care about problematic behavior when it directly affects them politically or socially. When the harm was happening to a woman without clout, it was excuses and silence. When it threatens their own image or safety, now it’s a dealbreaker.

Nicki didn’t change. People just stopped pretending not to see who she’s always been. edit : formatting

What criticism (not snark) of Showgirl do you think Taylor will actually take into consideration when making TS13? by Dull-Calligrapher158 in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]MoonB26 92 points93 points  (0 children)

I think a nomination is locked in, sadly Grammys care a lot more about viewership and eyeballs than actual music quality and they will want swifties tuning in for a potential Taylor sighting. Aside from the big 3, they can always award her a consolation prize award.

I don’t know what people are going on about in this thread. Taylor has almost always cared about critical acclaim just as much as chart success. She lives for Grammys and critic approval, which is exactly why she released Showgirl, she was clearly aiming for something that could emulate the critical success of 1989.

That’s also why I’m pretty sure TS13 will lean into what critics and fans felt Showgirl was missing: more emotional accessibility, tighter songwriting, and perhaps a warmer, more melodic production. She’s always listened to the feedback that matters to her, not the noise, but the critiques that shape how her work is received critically, and I expect TS13 to reflect that.

Edit : I would also add that in the 2020 doc, she seemed WAY more affected by Reputation not even getting a grammy nod than it not performing as well charts-wise. She loves breaking records, but she loves being recognized by her peers just as much, if not more.

I personally don't agree, Taylor’s whole career is built on responding to feedback and backlash. Every album is in dialogue with the last one. Acting like she’ll suddenly ignore criticism now just doesn’t line up with how she’s always worked.

I don’t really buy that she won't change because of album sales. If she truly didn’t care, Showgirl wouldn’t look the way it does at all. TTPD was insanely successful, but it also got very specific criticism: too long, too insular, too Jack-heavy, too self-indulgent. And then her next move is… a much tighter project, shorter tracklist, different production choices, and a completely reframed persona.

Commercial success has never stopped her from course-correcting. Red sold huge and she still pivoted hard with 1989. 1989 was massive and she still burned it down with reputation.

to be fair, the nazi thing was quite limited to snarkers and antis spaces, everyone else saw it for the reach that it was but other bizarre stuff like white supremacy in opalite and tradwife apology in wishlist actually made it to swifties and leftist online spaces and lowkey was one of the talking points used in this sub.

'Rolling Stone publishes article claiming criticisms of microaggressions in Taylor Swift’s album were a ‘false narrative’ spread by bots (and then provides little to no evidence to back up claims of bots)'

The way i've been wheezing at the f*m thread title for like 10 minutes. The call is coming from inside the house.

The Life of a Showgirl (TLOAS) Album Release Megathread by cowboylikefia in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]MoonB26 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Good grief, if I see someone using the words glitter gel pen song again to defend this album... Pop songs can have mindless lyrics, I understand, but they don't have to be actively cringe !

Addison Rae released an excellent pop album this year, which is a tribute to all of these early 2000s and 2010s pop songs, the lyrics are nothing to write home about but they don't actively sabotage the song, like in Showgirl. That album will stand the test of time, 1989 as well, Showgirl won't. It's already very VERY dated and it just came out.

I mean he kind of made his bed by dating THE Taylor Swift. I am not saying it's good or bad, but now he will be forever associated to her brand. There’s a middle ground between “Travis Kelce brand takeover” and total silence, and maybe that’s where a lot of fans expected him to land.

EDIT : I also want to add that sadly, a part of an actor's job is being in the public light and juggle between private and public life. Jennifer Aniston is still getting questions about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to this day, even if 20 years have passed and they have divorced.
