16 pages. Dawg you are out of your mind if you think ima read 16 pages of tswift drivel
Just glance thru. It's quite the ride
Man I burst out in laughter after seing that WW2 gif in there.
Just the first two are enough. These are wall of texts about nothing constructive.
But she’s the best tayfender
and a taywarrior
I barely finished the first page because it’s so absolutely ridiculous and annoying. My eyes got sprained from all the eye rolling.
It's not the ending that matters, it's the journey! And I still wouldn't read it!
What universe do these people live in
It’s hard to say isn’t it. Definitely not the reality universe
How do I get back to the reality universe?
That universe died sometime around 2012 - 2016, sadly.
RIP Harambe
We can’t unfortunately
Go to any soccer team subreddit and you will see the exact same mixture of tongue in cheek circlejerking and genuine emotional commitment. People like to form communities around things, and the actual topic at the centre is often just any old focal point that everyone generally enjoys.
The one direction fans were the same. Hell, they still are. Parasocial relationships are a thing.
Same goes for Deadheads and Bowie fans and Led Zeppelin fans, but nobody minds them as much because those are "cool bands". I don't like TS music, but it's totally normal for a popular artist to have fans that try to outdo eachother in terms of their fanaticism, and have fun with that.
I think it's a step too far to immediately conclude that we are talking about real parasocial relationships here. Is supporting a sports team also a parasocial activity? Or is it just being part of a community?
The Taylorverse.
Taylorverse
For being this delulu? USA, probably
Funny you say that because another comment here says go to any soccer team sub and it’s the same way haha
It's sad when your entire identity revolves around a celebrity.
As I positiveproperty4 stan, I agree
Yeah, we must protect him from negative properties, he’s human after all
Since 1988 I have committed my entire life to THE Brian Boitano. Every fibre of my being honours the Olympic champion and icon that is BriBoiT.
WWBBD???
If he were here today…
He'd probably kick an ass or two
People used to project this kind of intense devotion onto prophets and seers. Watching that same level of adoration aimed at celebrities and politicians is… strange, to say the least.
It's absolutely and completely normal I think, especially in the age of internet communities. Different people and ideologies have always had followers, but the internet allows the most committed proponents to find eachother. When that happens, you often get a semi-serious pattern of people trying to outdo eachother in terms of their perceived degree of devotion. They aren't doing all of this to be performative, they know it's weird, they just enjoy the community feeling of being overly concerned about something relatively banal, as a group. It's the exact same as stadiums full of football fans in Europe screaming at eachother that they want to murder the rival fans and setting off flares. They don't actually have any idea who the rival fans are (basically the same people as themselves), they just have a need to rally against a common enemy because it feels good.
After the Scooter incident of 2016 the Swifties bonded tightly together
I run stan accounts. I'm stanning my main account though.
Imagine not worshipping the ground Nicholas Cage walks on. That man is a National Treasure.
lmao wtf fuck is going on?
What the fuck fuck
What the fuck fuckity fuck?
I like Taylor swift and I have no idea. I have seen a couple of people up in arms that she curses and is obviously literally the devil. But I got no idea tf is going on here
They're upset because the entirety of the Internet doesn't worship her. Her new album isn't amazing, and people are saying that. That's what has upset these people.
I am not a fan and I don't get the hype but I try to listen before I make comments and lets just say, I still don't understand the hype. I cuss a lot so hearing that doesn't bother me but I legit laughed, the more I heard it from song to song. She is over doing it big time, like shes trying to prove a point that she's a big girl now. It made me laugh thinking she must think she's in her "edgy Era" now.
I don't know what makes me laugh more, her using F**K to sound cool or all the people up in arms that she's not being a good role model by doing so.
I don't particularly like most of her music but she does have a few good songs. My wife is a fan, but not one of these nutjobs. She listened to her newest album and said there were 2-3 good songs but that was it. I couldn't care less about the language she uses in her music either.
I thought this was about her using a private jet alot, damn yea no clue whats going on
mentool iwness, luv
Idk all I know is I'm way too old for this shit
It kind of sounds like some backdoor record label stuff if I'm understanding things correctly. That or maybe it has something to do with that one person who posted her flight itinerary as a gif showing where she flew during the whole tour, and how much fuel she would have burned up going private instead of commercial. (Which is honestly insane. When you reach a certain level of fame it's just not safe for **anyone** if you fly commercial. Even actors have to be careful because you just create crowds eating at a the Starbucks next to your gate.)
Maybe we shouldn't let people get that famous in the first place
What do they mean the eras tour isn’t even halfway over it feels like it’s been going for 3 years
I wish I could get into a hobby as much as these people. Its just so tiring
Fr like they're absolutely insane but like idk there was a time where I argued about Naruto every week. I don't even know what year it is anymore
Same 🤣
That ain't a hobby, it's an obsession
Imagine if they united on something that actually matters like class consciousness lol
Literally defending a billionaire instead though. These people all have everything in common with one another, and nothing in common with the entertainer.
And yes, "Bezos is a billionaire," (but that's mostly due to the *valuation* of his Amazon stock, mind you)
New copypasta?
To be fair tho, Taylor probably has a bank balance of 300 mil (poor thing, I know) while Bezos has a balance of like, 10 billion.
oh no, poor tay tay how will she afford the private jet bills 😩
Better start a gofundme so that she can be a billionaire with a billion in liquid assets 🙏
i don't believe that billionaires should exist, but i am much more okay with an artist who makes money selling the product of their labor being rich than someone like bezos
Every successful artist puts releases that aren’t well received by critics from time to time. It shouldn’t be a big deal; the Swifty nonsense is getting crazy.
Especially when she probably doesn’t care herself. Why would she when it will sell loads anyway?
The album literally contains lyrics where she’s very overtly telling her fans she doesn’t need them to fight battles for her too 🤦🏻♀️
For real. I think the billionaire will survive if an album flops.
And in her case, “flops” still means millions of sales.
Jesus Christ this person is pathetic.
These people are mentally ill.
Absolute jobless behavior.
"Swiftly"
All I am gonna say is that Swift has lawyers, friends, family, and publicist to defend her. You don't need to defend her.
It’s so wild that people think celebrities are so helpless that they need fans to defend them every single time critic approval isn’t at an all time high. These people are so incredibly privileged and get opportunities most of us couldn’t even dream of! But yeah, billionaire superstar Grammy winner Taylor Swift will absolutely crumble unless Makaylee and Jaylynne don’t defend her after school on TikTok
being a billionaire is only ok if it's someone you like, got it
Let's make Danny DeVito a billionaire! We'll call ourselves BigDongus
I vote for Magnum Dongs as our stan name
I don't even support myself this much...
Jesus Christ, nobody cares about your billionaire white woman who can't get out of the teenage suburban mindset. Maybe they all should play GTA or some shit
But if she is silenced then who will speak for the oppressed minority of upper middle class sad white people
If they're all playing GTA who is gonna be touching!
The controllers
LMAO teenage suburban mindset
They’re so unstable, what is this kind of mental illness called??
Swiftemia.
Wild. I don't understand
Seeing a fandom you have no clue about is the funniest thing, as they talk with complete seriousness about the "Scooter debacle" and the "reputation era", with the same weight as Watergate or some shit lmao
All the crap in the world and this is the one they chose to take a stand on
Fucking weirdos.
Man, I’ve just loved her music since I was in middle school. I’m not taking up arms against other fandoms and it doesn’t personally hurt me when someone isn’t a fan of her
I've been a massive Springsteen fan for my entire adult life. I know there are plenty of people who don't like Bruce. I've never felt the urge to take up virtual arms against them though. Hell, I married one.
Lol at this one dude: "I've been off twitter for 3 days what are we fighting about?'
On a serious note, what are they fighting? Or who? I'm very confused
dude it’s crazy. my 22 year old SIL sent me a seething text after i said i didn’t really like her new album. you would’ve thought i said i wanted to kill her baby or something.
I had a friend (now former) who absolutely blew up on me because I said her music is boring. At the time he was a 38 year old man. I didn't know secret codes are out into her music but whatever it is, it's working like a charm for Taylor who I assume is secretly building an army with these people so she can conquer earth. Some will burn every bridge imaginable to defend her majesty Queen Taylor and she doesn't even know they exist.
