Taylor Swift

[PwoperNaughtyButNot]

Can anyone tell me what this is all about? In the last 6 months there hasn’t been a day gone by without the BBC and everyone other news org posting inane news stories about Taylor Swift. I cant recall a time when a pop star has been the lead story for not a lot on such a regular basis. The girl has been around for 20yrs years but all of a sudden I’m supposed to believe she is the most important artist on earth and of all time. I can’t even name a single song. What’s it all about? Am I just old?

Taylor Stiffed.

Great episode of Scream Team with a Swifty getting her head cut off by a lawn mower.

[Swiss Toni]

"The Ginger Minger is damn average but you have to admire her PR Team as she seeks to be everywhere in the media. Good to promote her Eras tour. I could name one of her songs so I went on YouTube . Seemed like real middle of the road generic, rubbish .So tried another . Hang on wasn’t that the last song ? On no different title . 3rd song… cut and paste above ."

Don't know if she is still in the climate activist camp or nor but it would be pretty disingenuous if Ms. Swift was calling for the mere mortals to cut back on their carbon emissions while she is consuming energy at an astonishing level. Joe Royal said she has up to 120 trucks on this tour. They're not running on willpower. She's jetting all over the world. I'd imagine her stage uses slightly more than four candles. On top of that the fans are using a huge amount of energy to attend the concerts. There is quite a lot of energy being used for what is essentially a very unimportant activity. Meanwhile food producers (farmers) are being demonised for their activities & are being forced to cut back production. The truck drivers are also being vilified for transporting food to stores. Swift gets a pass because she purchased some 'carbon credits' & gets to belt out her banal tunes as loudly & brilliantly as the local energy supplier can endure.

"I thought a lot of the fuss about her recently was all about how she'd gone against all that carbon zero shit, to get back home on private jets to watch her bloke play American football? More power to her elbow if that's the case, irrespective of my not knowing a single song by her, ( although I'd probably recognise it on the radio) or giving a sht about American football. Go Taylor!! As swiftly as your flights will take you."

Sign of the times that someone with a limited amount of talent can be such a global superstar. In 4 years time she'll either be forgotten about or running for president.

"Capitol Man wrote... ""Have to be weird to see some kind of agenda going on though"" Great big wiki page about the agenda... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_impact_of_Taylor_Swift Also, try Googling ""Taylor Swift right wing"" or ""Taylor Swift left wing"""

[Nutsin]

For what it’s worth she is suppose to put on quite a show.

[Capitol Man]

"It’s seems to have ramped up with the Kelcd stuff, that’s when it started showing up for me creeping into a few sports things about wives paying attention to American football now. Have to be weird to see some kind of agenda going on though, she generates clicks and posts so you see more and more of her. The fact you’ve posted about her on the internet or gone and looked up some songs is probably going to mean you’ll see more of her showing up for you now."

[zebthecat]

The Eras Tour film has broken all sorts of box office records so far and is a rare thing as she produced it herself and negotiated her own distribution deal bypassing the stodious completely. Not a fan of her music but she is extremely savvy when it comes to business.

[Hammer and Pickle]

Who is he?

[MrTrentReznor]

"Daughter had her on the car when she was going to college earlier this evening. It's pretty bland, emotionless & insipid fare. If she was an ice-cream she'd be vanilla. There was always this teeny-bopper type artist that appealed to young girls. There was the NKOTB, Take That, Westlife, NSync, Spice Girls, Britney etc, etc. The OP question was why is Taylor being pumped by the media more than her predecessors? It's because she is the ultimate establishment icon. She doesn't offend those in power & won't cause discord. Swift will follow the script. I heard a female radio presenter say that Taylor Swift was the sort of woman who would wear a swimsuit when showering. That's how 'safe' she is."

british is best 6:20 Sun Mar 3 Re: Taylor Swift Let’s face it - there were a bunch of middle-aged old farts in the 60s muttering about the stones and Beatles as well. We’re not really the target demographic for this are we. The current tour has supposedly generated $5bn and counting.

"She started attracting flak from the American right. Not sure what for - haven't been paying attention. For the American left, their enemy's enemy is their friend. So now she is being deified."

[Mike Oxsaw]

"These 33k who she's triggered into registering. Who, to a man, will they vote for?"

Taylor Swift? Never heard of him.

"Triggered much, mong chops?"

Thanks NYC!

[british is best]

Iit says it all . The only song I can remember of hers is shake it off . Yet she's the biggest selling artist in the world currently. Hardly Elvis . The Beatles and Maddona .

[Capitol Man]

"She absolutely is the celebrity of the moment - nothing more too it than that. Look at who the loons are spreading the conspiracy bullshit. You could have predicted exactly who they are. Exactly. Before the last election she called on people to register to vote, and something like 33k did within 24 hours. That is why you are seeing the conspiracy gibbons out in force. For those saying she’s not the Beatles, no it[s not exactly the same, and she’s not as talented, but look at what happened with the spice girls or Beckham. It’s also multiplied by the social media algorithms throwing it in everyone’s face. She seems like a decent person, probably a bit of savvy media management in that - but the fact that she is is combined with her celebrity clout is what’s getting those gibbons all worked up."

Nurse - Not that they probably would but they CAN refuse entry if your passport is not in good nick and readable - all the numbers on the photo have to be visible with no marks on the photo or tears on any of the other pages. If its tatty better off getting it replaced! I'll be over there next month and I forgot this so I'm off to check mine!

[Nurse Ratched]

"""Makes me wonder how many tourists were refused entry to Singapore and forced to miss the concert by their petty minded immigration officers. Based on personal experience BTW."" Would you mind expanding on that? My son is going over there soon. ?üòï"
