Taylor Swift is a talentless Nazi Barbie

Wish she'd come out already

OP types like a Lipstick Alley frau

R1 She's not a lesbian. Stop deluding yourself.

R2 Nope. I'm sick of gays making excuses for boring, pampered, talent-free divas while ignoring real gay talent. Listen to Rufus Wainwright.

She’s actually super-liberal, so how is she a nazi again?

Taylor Swift isn't interesting enough to be a "Nazi barbie" - she is totally milquetoast in every facet.

Maybe this is a new topic for your incarcerated penpals, and I congratulate you on your rough draft, but Taylor Swift has not been in the news for being a victim or crying white woman tears lately.

R5 How do you know she's super liberal? Everything she does is opportunistic. You think it's beyond the pale for a celebrity to lie about their beliefs to be accepted? For years she was adopted by the far fight as the ideal aryan woman. It's not her fault that she got co-opted by them but instead of reflecting on why they latched onto her prim stepford wife image eg. the fallout from the Kanye VMA incident and her acting like an asshole behind closed doors, instead she used her people to shut down any discussion of it. Only when the problem became too big to ignore and big publications were calling her out did she become political. I.E she only acted when her interests were at stake. She's a big old phony.

I see her name and I just get really drowsy. I mean no energy AT ALL.

Not that I care about her one way or the other, but you may need to look up what a "nazi" is.

If she was a Nazi, she would at least be interesting. Sadly in her case, there's no there there.

R8 Opportunistic? She has a huge country fanbase which is conservative, so saying anything liberal is not opportunistic.

Even Carrie Underwood was bashed when she came in favour of gay marriage. There's a liberal part of Nashville but most of the fans are ultrareligious loonies

R12 Her country fanbase is old news. Once she established herself as a pop star and had to choose which audience to pander to, she wisely chose the wealthier urban gay friendly crowd, not because she shares their values, but because it's a better audience to have. For a long time she was coasting on appealing to both audiences by presenting herself as apolitical as possible. Then when the heat mounted she caved and changed her image to minimize loss. I don't even think she's political, she's far too solipsistic. She just jumps on bandwagons that directly benefit her.

The "Nazi Barbie" moniker comes from Camille Paglia.

R14 We know, we just don't care

I briefly saw a guy who was obsessed with her. I secretly judged him the whole time.

I agree. She sucks.

"Taylor Swift is taking back control of her music, Yaas slay kween". She wasn't satisfied with being just a billionaire, she had to be a billionaire many times over. She's just a greedy as any tech guy. IP issues are abound every industry but no one cries blonde woman tears to get sympathy from the public over their greed.

OP, thank for you submission for the MA in Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths, University of London. We regret that we've moved on from this genre of snark 10 years ago and have nothing to offer you here. We wish you the best in your continuing contributions to Madamenoire and Theblast.

Who cares? Simple solution. If you don't care for her or her music, don't buy it or don't listen to it. Jeez.

Is she the one that sings “Oh-oh uh-oh go totally crazy forget I’m a lady”?

Oh, who cares

I don’t know how anyone can be a fan after she bleated out that awful rendition of “Rhiannon” with Stevie Nicks, who probably considered heading back heavy drugs after having to go through that performance with her.

What I don’t like about her is her victim hood. She keeps having relationships, then dumps them, and uses it to write a an album. That isn’t a victim, that is the actions of a victimiser.

And, she is another person demanding privacy, even though 99% of her output is built around her “personal” life.

Not really a fan of her voice... the music she writes is catchy enough and suited to her range. But nazi? *eyeroll* OP is just a misogynist or a trollbot.

"What I don’t like about her is her victim hood. She keeps having relationships, then dumps them, and uses it to write a an album. That isn’t a victim, that is the actions of a victimiser.

Are you kidding me? That's 99% of music out there. If you don't like her and you are certainly free to not that's one thing but there isnt one artist out there that doesnt write about personal break ups. Thats horse shit.

R25 I don’t mind the music. I mind her acting like her personal life should be “private” when she has used it to build her entire output.

Also, sweetie, learn how the quote function works.

She is insipid.

OP focus on things you like.

I thought she's being very smart/shrewd in handling her career so far. I though her teen followers will out-grow her and move on. But she was able to keep her core fans and added a few more. Who knows, after all is said and done, she might just end up as the most successul female pop star ever.

You would think for someone who claims to be a feminist that maybe doing a movie with David O Russell of all people is not a good look.

If you would have said, in 2008, that Taylor would be a more successful pop star than Beyonce, Rihanna, Gaga and Adele I would have laughed in your face.

I mean, those four are all super huge, but Taylor, somehow, is bigger. Makes no sense.

I don't think she's untalented. I just think she's so boring.
