Often-Topless Miley: Taylor Swift Is Not a Role Model Because There Are Guns in Her Music Video
National Review ^ | 08/12/2015 | Katherine Timpf

The often-topless Miley Cyrus is questioning how people could possibly consider fellow pop star Taylor Swift to be a role model when — gasp! — guns appear in the music video for Swift’s latest single, “Bad Blood.”

“That’s supposed to be a good example?” Cyrus said in an interview with Marie Claire published Friday. “And I’m a bad role model because I’m running around with my t[******] out? I’m not sure how t[******] are worse than guns.”

Cyrus frequently posts pictures of herself topless in support of a “feminist” movement called “Free the Nipple,” which maintains that walking around with your boobs out is an “equality movement, and a mission to empower women around the world,” according to its website.

She continued to emphasize this commitment to public nudity throughout the interview, also saying “You want to hack my e-mail so you can find my nude pictures? I’ll just f[******] put them up.”

Personally, I don’t care what Cyrus does. If she wants people to see her naked everywhere, fine. But as for being a suitable role model, unless you’re someone who won’t ever have to worry about finding a job — such as a born-into-privilege pop star like Cyrus, or a Kardashian — following her example and posting naked pictures of yourself online is a bad move, because you’ll have a very hard time getting hired. Being in a video where you hold a gun and engage in stage combat like Swift did won’t have the same effect effect. Fair or not — that’s just a fact.

Yabbut, when she's done showing them off (which won't take long), then what's she going to do to get attention?

Pretty bad when you have to go blue to get a head to turn and you aren't even 30 yet.

What do you mean jacked up? Looking at their grip, both are holding to low. Taylor
would have that pistol kicking back into her face, and Shania would have hers
possibly jumping out of her hand. Neither would hit their target.

#41 Shania Twain looks like a women whereas Taylor Swift looks like a skinny kid (21 at time of photo).

Looking at Shania Twain expression while pointing that gun, I would say she is thinking of her husband who cheated on her : )

Neither one of these two has an ounce of brains between them

I hope my daughter is as stupid as Taylor Swift.

Taylor has her left index finger on the trigger, but her left hand outside her right hand. It's backwards; it forces her trigger finger to reach for the trigger. Control will be difficult; accuracy will suffer. Injury is unlikely if she's shooting .38Spl wadcutters. Shania is indeed holding the 1911 too low, but I doubt she'll lose control of it. Her hand is big enough, and it's only a .45 ...

Oh ...

"Jacked up" means "it's completely wrong".

I don't think she's ever fired a gun before. Or was taught how. I'll
need to offer my personal services and instruction. Then maybe later
train her on firearm technique. /grin

The prior owners purchased the house for $3.5 million in 1996 and sold it to Taylor Swift for $17.75 million. Not a bad return on their investment, even net of taxes and real estate commissions. Hopefully, the singer is better at investing than she is at handling firearms.

I’m not sure how t[******] are worse than guns.

From which ones am I more likely to catch an STD?

Grandpa was a long time Democrat union honcho / Kentucky politician. So the gene pool is weak.

I think so. Looks like her, and she’s definitely shooting USPSA.

So the little tramp is concerned about GUNS! I guess her piggish behavior is what this generation is being taught. See my tag.
