don't write her off. she's just as bad and out of touch as the rest of them. on a cultural level, we have a billionaire who manipulates her audience by writing songs that market herself as a relatable, contemporary woman and positions herself as a model of feminism. she writes songs to portray her life as a women going through a tortured life as an artist in a sexist, broken system that made her a billionaire. she's made many young, impressionable women feel that going through life as a woman is like Taylor Swift going through her eras when in reality, she's a billionaire selling an image to perpetuate her wealth.
how is Taylor writing songs that perpetuate a fake lifestyle that contemporary women feel relatable to these days any different than Warren Buffett coming out and saying he still clips his own coupons. how dumb do they think we are? it's insulting, really. she has had enough money to prove she's a good person in the past, but now she has enough money to prove she's absolutely a terrible person.
on another level, it's just music. she can write whatever the fuck she wants, but I wish people would realize it's stupid as hell to listen to a billionaire write songs complaining about love or being a tortured artist. it's ridiculous.
I think love for a billionaire just might be a little difficult and complicated. Probably would make for some interesting songs.
Do... Do you think she started off a billionaire singer songwriter?
no, she started as a private equity money manager's daughter
