I took a dump this morning and the same people popped up out of the bowl before I could flush. I didn’t listen to them then, either.
Haha.
Here is the quote from the article you posted:
“haven’t watched the taylor swift video and I don’t need to watch it to tell you that it’s inherently offensive and ultimately harmful”
The Death Knell of a career. Hope she saved her money and invested it wisely.
Such a cute girl — but such a degraded lifestyle.
I thought the video resembled a Weird Al mash-up. It was meant to be funny. Anyone claiming it is racist is an humorless idiot.
OK. I watched the whole video.
Many dance styles are spoofed, including hip-hop, Boom-Box, Cheerleading, Jazz Dance, Video Style, Robot, Disco, and minimalist. But the biggest spoof is on Classical Ballet.
If she had no black dancers, or only spoofed “white” dance styles, wouldn’t it be raciss?
Yep.
The only winning move is not to play.
Huh? Taylor Swift maybe a liberal but from all reports she is a pretty decent person. She doesnt run around doing coke, partying all night, etc. The worst she has been accused of is this video and slut shaming.
She dated a Kennedy...’Nuff said.
who hasn’t dated a Kennedy?
Those humorless idiots need to see Blazing Saddles. Many people don't realize that Richard Pryor was involved with the screenplay.
Blacks don’t like whites playing “their” music....
Saxophone player attacked in the street by three black women ‘who said a white girl shouldn’t play an old jazz song’
And she survived? Either she is pretty tough or the Kennedy clan is losing their touch when it comes to abusing women.
“The worst she has been accused of is this video and slut shaming”
As a 22 year old, she was bedding an 18 year old Kennedy just a couple months out of High school. That isn’t exactly a feather in her cap.
DAMN!
What a fine-looking young woman. Her parents must be very proud of her.
Anyways, I saw this part of the video and my hand instinctively goes to bestill my< heart. Gorgeous... I mean just drop dead, GORGEOUS...
... and without the lipstick and makeup, I bet she would be even more attractive [to me].
She does not sing or play. She does lip sync to an autotune record and pretends to play. I watched one of those CMA award shows a few years back and that is what she did. I suspect they all do.
Go to youtube and find some real performers.
Now she’ll have to remove the video, cancel sales of the CD, apologize publicly, do 500 hours of community service at United Negro College Fund in addition to millions in donations. Did I miss anything?
That was demonstrated at the MTV Awards, when Kanye West leaped up onto the stage and snatched the award out of Taylor Swift’s hands, claiming it should have gone to beyonce.
Never mind that TS writes her own songs, plays her own guitar, stands against bullying and FOR self-esteem and individuality for young girls, and performs mostly songs that my young guitar students can learn and play themselves. Which means they are real songs, not just chanting over a loop.
This new song is not my cup of tea, but the Music establishment (Hip-Hop and commercial rap) have had it in for TS from the very beginning. They can’t stand it that a white female country crossover musician who writes singable songs can be more popular than their Diva-Du-Jour.
