She did date a 17 year old when she was either 21 or 22 so that’s true and I can’t (nor should anyone) defend that. Shes never been outwardly racist but she’s done some things that don’t have a good look but again, she has black back up singers and dancers (the singers have been around for forever) so if she really was as racist as people say she is I doubt they would work for and continue to work for her

She has maga friends which is questionable but again, she’s pretty clear not maga and I kinda agree with them about wood? I don’t like it and it does sound like the Jackson 5 so I can’t help you there. Personally, you should just dump these friends. If they can’t see any nuance in anything, they’re just gonna make your life hell.

If you do wanna fight back, start talking shit about their favorite artists. Taylor may be a billionaire but she’s doing more good than most others. At least she donates to food banks and to people privately.

They’re just regurgitating crap they’ve seen online. Her whole point about the 1800s is that they seem nostalgic but in reality they sucked and if she’d actually been there she’d hate it, nostalgia is a minds trick which leads back to relationships not slavery. As for the og post those are all similar minus the dating a 17 yo. She never said black people are savage, she’s a vocal liberal and very anti maga and didn’t copy Jackson 5 or she’d be in a lawsuit about it. L

I think the problem is that Taylor only works with white people and she doesn’t have poc telling her how certain lines could come across to her non-white fans. I think it is important to acknowledge that these lines she has written can have racist connotations even if that wasn’t the intention. She just doesn’t have anyone helping her edit and it comes across as Taylor not understanding how other women can be more oppressed than her
