BREAKDOWN
Wow, this is Taylor giving a master class in the positive side of passive-aggressiveness. She played this perfectly.
When you overhear someone talking negative about you, whether its light joking or serious shit-talk, you can opt to ignore, confront, or passively-aggressively make it clear that you’re aware of what they said WITHOUT acknowledging that they’ve offended you.
The latter puts ALL of the awkwardness on the other person’s side. You can even read Taylor’s tweet here in her disappointed hurt voice, and it makes you feel awkward.
I say passive-aggressively, because Taylor saw her name mentioned here, and only acknowledged that and not the context of their conversation. I’m sure Taylor’s compliment to the Chef was legitimate.
You can see by the Chef’s reaction that there’s some effusiveness there in her compliments, often caused by being awkward.
I love the way she can make someone feel so awkward and terrible… Oh girl is so wonderful at it 💁👏
