Welcome to the ramblings and thoughts of a lifelong die-hard swiftie turned biggest critic. Here mostly to get things off my chest and hopefully find some like minded people (was @diaryofanexswiftie)

[karlie-what-you-want]

Taylor Swift will go after fans who sing covers of her song son YouTube, artists who make AMVs with her music, and early shops that make merch using her lyrics.

She will go after young artists like Olivia Rodrigo for merely being inspired by her.

She will send a hateful hoard of fans towards actresses whose roles demanded they make a joke about her in-script.

But now Donald Trump has used her music TWICE on TikTok to promote his own dictatorship (the newest in which he declares the USA is an empire that belongs to him), and Taylor has nothing to say.

This isn’t just cowardice, it’s support. Because we know by now that Taylor does not tolerate her music being used in any capacity that she doesn’t approve of.

If anyone has been on the fence about her recent actions, please let this be your wake-up call. It’s time to leave her behind. Separate yourself from this fascist regime that she’s funneling millions of dollars into, do it once and for all. This woman is complicit with MAGA.

“I’ve never heard silence quite this loud.” And I don’t even mean Taylor at this point. I mean you.

Sabrina carpenter is using her support for the trans community to distract from her pedophilia issues. She's been very inappropriate with minors at concerts (asking their ages then asking if they're horny, fuzzy handcuffing 12 year olds), sexualizes minors and done Lolita photo shoots. Plus the lyrics "i look like a nina (little girl) put something big in me". Also she's mocked domestic abuse survivors, dated some horrible racists and refuses to be held accountable or take any of that seriously. She's a disgusting person who's performative queer activism is just as bad as swifts. No wonder they get along.

oh ew- i'll be so honest i don't know much about sabrina other than being a casual fan of her music, but this is ickyyyyy

she is taylors mini-me so i can't say im surprised at all

I'm curious if as an ex swiftie you ever saw Taylor talk seriously about suicide, suicidal ideation, suicide prevention, etc in interviews or speeches or anything. It's weird to me that it's so central to her current single, but no one seems to bring it up in coverage.

Also, "Is it over now" drove me crazy because my grocery store plays her music to death, even the flops.

you know now that you bring that up, I don't think she's ever really said anything about suicide or even mental health. which i know was a topic that was brought up a lot when she literally romanticized the life of a mental hospital patient. or maybe she compared herself to a mental hospital patient?? idk i wasn't there for that shit.

i've mentioned this before, but the most she's ever done for the mental health conversation is say that she's above therapy and basically is so grounded and healthy that she'll never need to go. so, i guess the answer is no she hasn't said anything lol

swifties continuing to harass joe alwyn makes me physically ill.

[thediaryofanexsswiftie]

have u seen how tloas is dropping in the 2nd week sales... like... it went from 4m to 390k+ to 199k in two weeks???

YUP

the week 1 to week 2 sale drop is EMBARRASSING idk how she can show her face. she really doubled down on this album just for it to flop so hard compared to her last albums. i wonder when she'll start blaming travis (pls soon!)

[thediaryofanexsswiftie]

I saw one of your anons mention Travis calling Taylor a bitch. I was never a fan of hers, but that whole thing was deeply concerning. He 'calls her out' on his podcast for ignoring him when he was trying to shoot his shot, and she starts gushing about how that was 'so metal' of him. So, of course, the immediate response is how bold and romantic he is. Truly a catch.

Like...are we still promoting the idea that women should be publically shamed if she doesn't see and/or doesn't want a particular guy hitting on her? As if practically every romance movie doesn't already play into that. He's not backing down because he loves her. Never take 'no' for an answer. Bitch, give him a chance he's so nice.

literally everything about travis kelce is screaming 'uneducated white man who loves himself and no one else' i couldn't have predicted taylor would ever even be SEEN with a man like this 5 years ago....

she's literally taking back everything she once aid and stood for... for a MAN????????🤮

[thediaryofanexsswiftie]

Hii I really wanna vent about smth regarding swifties and I figured this was the perfect acc to ask this to

I used to be a swiftie during my high school years but ever since the ana clara benevides (the fan who passed away at an eras concert in Brazil) incident, I slowly realized just how awful Taylor is as a person (I mean an instagram story?? About how devastated she was and nothing about the fan?? C'mon now). Then I went down the anti swift rabbit hole and the rest is history

Now what bothers me is that I used to have a friend who I bonded with over our love for swift, among other things, but I think she's seen my anti-ts reblogs as of late and realized I'm a hater now and ever since then, she stopped talking to me. I mean she still is amiable to me in general, but nothing like how she used to be. What's worse is that even now when the general public is waking up to Taylor's awfulness, she's still a swiftie and still defends her. And I'm just really disappointed in her. I genuinely thought she was smarter and better than this. I can't believe she'd ice me out all bcs I hate an artist we both used to love (when in fact we still share a love for lots of other artists). I was under the impression that our friendship was a lot deeper than just being swiftie moots but I guess I was wrong. And until now she still aligns herself with whatever taylor is promoting, even if hundreds of people have pointed out how bad it is.

this is absolutely the right place, welcome!!

something that i've learned kind of recently is that the general public doesn't really know anything about ana's passing. it was all swept under the rug. i've been bringing it up in conversations irl about why i'm anti swift now, and almost everyone has been shocked and had never even heard of this. it was shocking as a fan to see taylor be so nonchalant about a death at one of her concerts. i truly believe she just didn't want to 'taint' the image of the eras tour, and how it was the most magical place on earth.

i'm so sorry you've lost a friend over this. it's crazy to say, but i really believe that she is in a cult. that's not an excuse for defending someone like taylor, but i also know some very smart and politically aware people that are die hard swifties. i've even had people tell me that they know supporting taylor goes against a lot of things they stand for, but they can't stop.

it's awful that you lost a friend because she couldn't seperate her personal life from her obsession of a billionaire who doesn't know she exists, but if this is the phase of life she's in rn- maybe it's for the best :(

[thediaryofanexsswiftie]

Can I finally say this as an “OG Swiftie” from debut era? As someone who took off the rose tinted glasses during Red-1989-Reputation era… I had place a bet that she wouldn’t last long with Joe. And I was right, though my timeline was a bit off. If it wasn’t for Covid, they would have broken up earlier.

And I’m kinda not surprised by this dating a footballer because she has been singing about it for so long. Though I have to admit as a non American, I don’t see the appeal of American footballers unless of course it’s the other football, like world football. Haha

I even thought that she might go back to Drew cause some songs were still dedicated to him (pure speculation on my part of course).

She could just stay single for awhile tho. But I guess the insecurity of hers doesn’t allow her to enjoy the singleness. She is so desperate for male validation.

welcome!!! i'm so happy you're here and that you found me!!

i totally agree, she's someone who has not been single nearly enough in her life. also her refusal to go to therapy absolutely is a part of this too.

maybe she'll take a few years off of being obsessed with men after she goes through what i'm sure will be a messy divorce.....

[thediaryofanexsswiftie]

BBC News is discussing Taylor's wedding GET ME OUT OF HEREEE

[thediaryofanexsswiftie]

Swiftologist just posted a reel on his other podcast account, saying that the song Father Figure is about Joe. He says that it’s a theory he came up with because Taylor found Joe when he was “nothing” and that she could have helped him get good films but he went and ruined his own career by doing bad shows. And the break up happened because Joe wanted another identity than just being Taylor’s boyfriend.

But I would say that Swiftologist is missing a huge point. Taylor couldn’t have really made those, “deals with the devil” because she is a musician. She could not have got Joe any good film deals in Hollywood of all places, considering she herself never got into good films apart from getting small roles in flopped films.

And when Taylor met Joe for the first time, he had already won an award for his work. But because he wasn’t famous swifties think he was nothing.

Also, when Joe was with Taylor, he used to get a lot of online hate both from the general public and the swifties. His acting in Conversation with Friends was heavily made fun of online.

Ironically, Joe was only known as Taylor’s boyfriend and I don’t blame him for breaking up with Taylor because of what he went through in the relationship. At least of what we know of, so for swifties to now act like that Joe broke up and “got his card cancelled” so now he is poor again is just another revenge fantasy these guys have in mind to get back at Joe.

Meanwhile Joe doesn’t even talk about his relationship with Taylor in interviews no matter how many times he is asked about it.

omg i have heard a lot of insane swiftie theories on the meanings behind songs, but this one might be the worst😭 even the swifties are confused by this song omg

i honestly think taylor has done more to try and ruin his career after their break up than she ever did to help it while they were together. i can't imagine ever hurting someone so badly that i used to love more than anything... she's so cold hearted

[thediaryofanexsswiftie]

i never went to the eras tour, so i can't be sure if this is correct. however, i saw a few people saying that it seemed like taylor was shocked by her own lyrics from folklore/evermore and that does make me wonder - how much of those albums did joe fucking write? 😭

-🐇 anon

HAHAHAHAH

joe is the real english teacher 🙊

[thediaryofanexsswiftie]

Regarding ur statement "my other theory is that she actually wasn't popular at all in high school"...apparently a lot of ppl didn't like Swift. Not surprised since she was rich and possibly mean to them (iirc she invited her classmates to a concert to 'get back' at them for not liking her which is embarrassing). //

THIS!!!!

As a millennial who’s grown up close to the swift fandom, even though she was a tall blonde, she was the epitome of a mean girl, and because of that she barely had any real friends besides Abigail. A large chunk of her fandom made up This entire persona of her being a shy, closed off girl who’s artsy and only likes the artsy types has always confused me.

Any real swiftie, who’s similar in age to Taylor and not a blind follower from the evermore era KNOWS she’s a stuck up bitch who has no friends and knows that Taylor knows this & embraces it.

While I don’t give a fuck about her or her “fiancé” I’ve seen fellow millennial fans of hers actually recognize that she matches well with Travis kelce because they’re BOTH vain, narcissistic and ignorant.

Like, he makes fat-phobic jokes, sexual innuendo and is ignorant on a daily basis and Taylor loves that shit because she’s the same. She literally said she’s more herself around him, which is a cunt lol.

These are not good people and just because she donates and interacts with her fans doesn’t take away from it. It’s like her fans refuse to understand that she gives money away and donates a lot because she has a big fucking tax bill and HAS TO DO IT lol. If she didn’t have to pay these taxes, she’d not give a dime to anyone.

taylor is showing her true colors more and more with every statement she makes. choosing to double down on being with a person like travis kelce was the dumbest decision of her career imo, but its getting a lot of people to realize exactly who she is. taylor has literally talked about how important the people she surrounds herself with are- and alllll the people she's put in her inner circle are MAGA, conservative, rich assholes. and they question why we assume she's the same? she has so much power in literally every situation- if she didn't want to hang out/be seen with someone, she wouldn't. i'm so sick of swiftie excuses

[thediaryofanexsswiftie]

Taylor has really manipulated her fanbase to do her dirty work. The way she gets her fanbase to turn on anyone through her songs and playing victim should be studied. It is MAGA level insane. The problem with swifties, they believe in the deepest parts of their brain that they really know her just because she is so personal with her love life and that couldn't be further from the truth. But she has used exactly this to manipulate her fanbase, making them believe they know her while being so controlling and secretive about her actual life and self. In a way she has groomed them, she has sucked them in to the point they have no critical thinking skills, she makes them think she is their friend, so when the time comes and she needs defending when she messes up or to get revenge these people will come out guns blazing.

For 6 years Joe was the best guy ever, he was the one, amazing for keeping the privacy and wanting her for her and not her fame. The minute they breakup he becomes the bad guy, cheating rumors start, she drops songs pretty much blaming him for everything and her fans believe everything like they always do and they start harassing him and his family. I mean forget the fact none of these fans know what happened and think just because she put it in a song then she must be the victim and everything must be true. They don't take a step back and think, hey Im only getting one side of the story and even that is surface level maybe I shouldn't go psycho and harass someone I don't know to defend another person I don't know. Like that is crazy work. This happens after every relationship of hers ends.

For her sake she better hope that her relationship with Travis lasts a lifetime because I doubt anymore guys are going to put up with her especially when she is slowly being exposed for her manipulative, toxic, distrustful, and crazy ways. Joe is the last good guy she will ever get. No other good is going to want to be part of her life when she is so quick to screw them over when she ends it. I think she has built a reputation for herself within hollywood that most good guys are going to stay away if she ever becomes single again. The only guys she is going to get are guys who want her are the fame hungry weirdos i.e Travis. It is pretty obvious how much he relishes in the fame that he is getting from her. If that relationship ends he won't care what she says about him in her songs because he got exactly what he wanted from her and that is the fame, money, brand deals, more viewers for his podcast, he is set for life.If that relationship doesn't work out, all she is gonna get in the future is more Travis'.

omg yes to all of this, i genuinely couldn't say it better myself. zero notes

joe is absolutely the last good guy she's going to get. she's already made it so clear that she's willing to profit off her relationships, good or bad. the only thing her and travis have going for them is their mutual love of fame, money and power. what a happy couple :)

[thediaryofanexsswiftie]

i think taylor does have a huge legacy!

on climate change

the world (taylors version)

[thediaryofanexsswiftie]

refreshing to find this blog after being disappointed by tloasg; idk if i was ever really a swiftie (tm), but as a long time listener/enjoyer of her music who has become increasingly disillusioned by her as a person, i find this to be a much more nuanced take than i’m seeing a lot of places!

like, i think taylor swift has been subjected to a lot of unjustified (and misogynistic) criticism AND a lot of justified criticism over the years, and i think folks have this tendency to try and lump all the criticism in one box, as either being all from haters or all valid in a way that is kind of reductive. idgaf if she writes a million songs about relationships and breakups, but i do care about her private jet usage and her refusal to speak out about real world atrocities. a few cringey lines in her music don’t bother me (there’s lines in plenty of good songs that are kind of awkward out of context), but the weird conservative slant to the album does.

sorry for the mini rant, but it’s just nice to see the convos you’re having here. hope you are having a nice day :)

i'm so glad you found me! thank you for sharing your thoughts here :)

i absolutely agree, you are totally right about this. i know some people will disagree with me on this- but i do believe taylor was wronged by the media and the public opinion several times in her career. but that was all years ago, and she's running out of sympathy and people to diss in a public 'girl boss' moment.

there was a time in which most of the taylor hate came from a place of misogyny, but now that people have legitimate reasons to dislike her and call her out, its so easy for her to just chalk it up to 'same old hatred of women..' more women then ever are calling her out- especially since she's abandoned all her so called brave support, and instead uses all her resources to top every woman that dares to exist in her universe. she is actively bringing other women down, but we're supposed to believe she's a feminist???

(also never apologize for sharing such a good take!)

[thediaryofanexsswiftie]

Hi! I saw your page and I am glad I found you because I thought I was the only one who was seeing all this problem with Taylor recently and didn’t know how to go about trying to distance myself from her and her music. So your page is very refreshing and helps me understand my relationship with TS and her brand as an ex fan. Thank you for that!

I also had a question, if you don’t mind me asking. Recently, with TLOASG release, many people have been calling out Taylor for not speaking about important issues around the world, especially the genocide in Palestine. But most toxic swifties fire back by saying that Taylor has been donating money secretly to pro Palestine organisations and that if she does speak up against the genocide publicly, her life will be in danger.

I have no idea how much any of this is even true because if Taylor were to donate money to any such pro Palestine organisations, it would be national news, but maybe I could be wrong. What do you think about all this? Would she even take such a bold stance like this? And will her life be really that much in danger if she were to, say, post an Instagram story in support of Palestine like Ariana or Dua Lipa?

ahhh yay i'm so happy you found me! hi!!

when i first started distancing myself from taylor, all i wanted to do was talk to a swiftie about it, but they were so mean😭 i want to be a kind voice for swifties to talk to when they're having thoughts like this.

ok this is a good question: has taylor donated secretly?

personally i strongly believe that she hasn't. she doesn't usually make a big announcement when she does, but she never really tries to hind it. it's usually under her name or her management, and is easy to find. why would this be something she wouldn't want people to find out about? also, personally i'm at the point that even if she was secretly donating it wouldn't be enough for me. don't get me wrong, every dollar is important and needed, but compared to what she could be doing, money doesn't compare. she has so much money, donating doesn't really mean anything to her. risking her public image, losing fans/followers, making her position clear; THAT means something to her.

[handsomecleverandrich]

everything i hear on "the life of a showgirl" that prevents me from ever enjoying the album:

1. the fate of ophelia: "i would have killed myself rather than end up single"

2. elizabeth taylor: "feel sorry for me even though i'm richer than god and we're in the middle of a cost of living crisis"

3. opalite: "i finally met my real love! not like those other times when i said i had finally met my real love. sure, i'm thirty-five and should probably realise love can be real even if it doesn't last, but i haven't, and now I won't have to, because i swear this time is the realest love, unlike the other times i said that exact thing with prettier words"

4. father figure: "i've learnt to emulate the people who screwed me over and i'm gonna act as though that's a good thing"

5. eldest daughter: "my boyfriend has a history of dating black women and that makes me feel insecure"

6. ruin the friendship: "platonic relationships are inherently inferior to romantic ones, which is why instead of wishing i could have spent more time with this man who is now dead, i'm wishing i had risked ruining our relationship instead"

7. actually romantic: "you wrote a vulnerable song about how insecure i make you feel? what are you in love with me or something?”

8. wishlist: "people who want things other than the picket fence life are so superficial when compared to me: a person who already has all those other things"

9. wood: "i swear the sex is good. i fucking swear is good. why does nobody believe me i'm telling you-”

10. cancelled: you know how in 2018 every conservative comedian was coming out with a special about how edgy they were for being cancelled even though they were on netflix? taylor now hangs out with people who thought those jokes were funny!

11. honey: taylor's worst experience with pet names is being condescended to by women. this is why she thinks it's prudent to put "you can call me honey if you want" on a hoodie marketed towards teenage girls and young women.

12. the life of a showgirl: "real showgirls were often victims of horrific abuse, but while this hasn't happened to me, i will go ahead and continue to pretend our experiences are comparable while i claim i wouldn't have it any other way"
