I'll be honest WTNY was never my favorite track off 1989 BUT the acoustic version is EVERYTHING!!! @taylorswift just an idea but if you were like to release an acoustic version we'd eat that shit up. You can just sit back and watch it skyrocket to number 1 on iTunes 💁🏽
Why do people hate Taylor Swift
I posed this question to my South African Swifties WhatsApp group and we basically came to two conclusions:
People are mean
The media perpetuates hate
But for me this is not enough. I need to know. I need to unpack and analyse. I am writer so the best way for me to do this is through writing. I could have just fired up a word document but I thought someone, somewhere might have the same question and we could work through this together.
Unsolicited opinions
Why do is it cool to hate Taylor? Why do people feel the need to voice their dislike of her 24/7? Why is it that when I change my Facebook frame my well meaning class mate says it’s cool that I got to meet her but needs to clarify that she’s not a fan? People don’t do it with any other celebrity. If I had met Eminem they would just be like “that’s a cool thing to happen to you”. Nobody would be like, “that’s cool but...”
Here’s the thing. I do not need to hear your “but”. I never asked for your opinion. If I saw someone’s picture with Katy Perry, I would never be like that’s cool but I’m not really a fan of her music. My not liking her is irrelevant. It’s not important.
So why do people feel that it’s important that everyone knows they don’t like Taylor?
The prevailing theory
So before posing this question to the most amazing WhatsApp group and to you all, I did the millennial thing and googled the question. I read a few articles, the majority of the arguments can be summed up in this article by the guardian and this article by bustle.com. If you’re not interested in reading the articles, here’s a quick summary.
People hate Taylor because:
She projects white feminism.
She didn’t voice an opinion about the US 2016 elections.
She is involved with too many celebrity feuds.
She copyrights/ sues everybody because she’s money hungry.
She plays the victim.
Now I could write an even longer post about why these reasons are problematic these reasons are but this post isn’t about that. I may write one. If I do I’ll let you know.
But here’s why I think these reasons are bullshit inaccurate:
It was popular to hate Taylor before she declared herself a feminist.
The unwarranted hate started long before 2016.
She was hated even before Kanye grabbed her mic all those years ago.
Every artist, scientist, creator, etc. protects their intellectual property but she’s the only one who get backlash for doing so.
She was victimized by the media before she claimed to a victim.
So why do people hate Taylor?
Taylor can’t seem to do anything right? First their problem was that she dates too many men. She’s a serial dater. Then she only writes about boys. She’s boy crazy. She’s involved in too many celebrity feuds. She’s “too white”. She’s friends with too many celebrities. She’s only looking for attention.Then it’s a problem that she didn’t publicly endorse Hilary Clinton. And get this, some people are mad that she didn’t publicly talk about her sexual assault.
I think we can all agree that these reasons are bogus. But let’s take it back to the beginning, Taylor the serial dater. This was the original reason for hating Taylor. This was before #MeToo and the Twitterverse decided to be woke. Her dating life/ sex life was so heavily policed and scrutinized. To suggest that these arguments stem from anywhere else than a place of misogyny that polices a womxn’s sexuality is asinine. Therefore I would suggest that all the other reasons why people hate Taylor, or why it became cool to hate Taylor stems from this incredibly problematic and misogynistic place.She couldn’t do anything right after that.
Taylor did nothing wrong. People in my circle of friends and I dated way more people than Taylor did. We were never called sluts. We were never labelled serial daters. It was normal. We were young. We were just looking to be loved and accepted. So the people Taylor dated were famous. Newsflash, most of the people Taylor is going to meet are famous. It’s just probability that she’s going to date other famous people. Never mind the fact that only another famous person will be able to understand what she goes through.
Given the increased awareness of misogyny in society, it really would be nice if people interrogated the real reason that they hate Taylor and the original reason the media turned against her. Maybe then people will finally get over themselves.
I need people to follow on The Swift Life! Repost with your user!!!!!

Seeing fans post screen shots of their ticket purchases makes me so happy and I just hope one day I’ll get to do the same thing ❤️
I’m busy with exams so please enjoy this video of my cat to let you know that I’m not dead
I love that there’s new merch and as someone who bought 1 item at the pop up shop I can’t really complain about buying into this whole complaining thing because yes I can afford that white crop but $125 for a fucking sweatshirt is ridiculous. I know Taylor doesn’t make the prices but homegirl if you see this, this looks greedy as hell. Please reach out to someone to get this changed. $125 is a person’s income for a whole week sometimes
Just worked it out and it’s 1736ZAR... so that’s literally more than half my salary for the month. @taylorswift daaaamn girl
When you see the merch prices and your heart drops into your ass
Guys imagine when TS7 comes out and we’ll be able to say Tay has 5 albums that sold more that a million copies in a week
Bigger venues, less dates, less exhausted Taylor. I know it’s upsetting, but think of her you guys. You’re right to be bummed out - but she’s only a human.
I still hope she decides to go to some countries she’s never toured before...
Even if it’s not my country.
hope your pets stay healthy in 2017
I almost didn’t blog this and felt guilty
Not risking it
My aging dog is lying next to me and if anything happened to her I’d fall apart. Not risking it
Pray they’re healthy and safe ❤️
!!Repost and add your target pic cause why not!!
PLEASE SOMEONE DO THIS SO I DONT LOOK LIKE A TOTAL LOSER
THERE ARE NO TARGETS IN CANADA BUT HERE IS ME WITH THE ICONIC ALBUM:
I LOVE ME SOME TARGET
@taylorswift @taylornation
THERE ARE NO TARGETS IN SOUTH AFRICA BUT I WANT IN ON THE FUN
GUYS REMEMBER THE TRACKLIST?
Look at this caption on my photo from this day last year
TAYLOR AND I ARE CONNECTED
UGH my cat breaks so many things. The struggle is real. But I mean I guess I love her…
My cat has broken:
My straightener
My laptop charger
Many shoe laces
A vacuum cleaner
The big scratch post
The small scratch post
He’s lucky he’s cute 😂
@taylorswift please don’t ever become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize anywhere ❤️
NO WAY I TOTALLY HAD THIS THOUGHT THE OTHER DAY AND WAS LIKE “HAHA THAT WOULD BE A GOOF TUMBLR POST” AND THEN LOOK AT YOU READING MY MIND THIS IS AMAZING I AM SCREAMING ok bye
WE ARE CONNECTED THROUGH SWIFTIE MAGIC ✨✨✨✨
