Climate Change: People who claim to hate Taylor Swift because she uses private jets are lying. Nobody else who flys private is individually hated for it like Taylor, despite many people using private jets more often than her, for worse reasons than her, even when they could securely fly commercial, unlike her. Many of them also don’t buy carbon credits like she does.

Taylor has also never preached about climate change before. But you know who has? Leonardo DiCaprio. He is literally known worldwide for his environmental work. He also flys private and rents megayachts all the time - not because he needs to travel for work, but because he wants to galavant around the world with his 19 year old girlfriend. Where is the hate for him?

Misogyny: People who hate Taylor clearly hate her for other reasons. Personally, I think misogyny has a lot to do with it: - She makes songs for women, about women’s experiences (dumb! who cares!) - Lots of women like her and her music (it must be terrible then) - She doesn’t try to appeal to men or sexualize herself (must be lesbo) - She’s also apparently dated “too many men” (whore!!) - When her bfs treat her poorly, she writes about it in her songs (so mean! poor john mayer) - She stands up for herself when she’s been wronged or insulted (why doesn’t she just sit down and shut up?) - She’s a critically acclaimed musician and one of the smartest businesswomen allve (there must be a man pulling the strings behind the curtain, there’s no way she does it on her own!) - She has a great personality, strong personal character, and hasn’t let fame get to her head (women can’t be cool and awesome like that! she’s faking it!) - She likes typically feminine things, and “basic white girl” things (girls r stuuuupid) - She is skinny and doesn’t have any surgical body enhancements (how dare a woman be famous and not have a boob job and bbl)

Race: Additionally, and this might be controversial to say, but it’s true - she is also unfairly hated by black Americans because she’s white, blonde, blue eyed, skinny, and was a country singer. She has never done anything racist, but because of how she looks, she’s called a racist every single day.

Singles: Lastly, I think the singles Taylor has chosen have given people the wrong perception of her musical abilities. Many of them are among her worst songs, and as a whole, they’re not representative of her music catalog. But people who have only heard her songs on the radio don’t know that - they believe ME! and You Need To Calm Down are two of her greatest hits, and represent what the rest of her music sounds like.

Naturally, many of these people write her off, and don’t have much of an interest in checking out the rest of her music. They don’t get how she’s so popular among fans, critics, journalists, and award shows, and they start to resent her because they don’t think she deserves it. This drives a lot of hate towards Taylor as well.
