Even after making a left-wing turn, pop megastar Taylor Swift once again finds herself the target of the woke masses Wednesday night after a performance of her’s that many thought ripped off Beyoncé.

During Swift’s performance at the Billboard Music Awards Wednesday, Taylor Swift used a marching band drum line and stood in a signature pose, leading many viewers to compare her performance to Beyoncé’s 2018 Coachella appearance.

Taylor has joined with the druggies.I called her out on it and she removed my post.She was so excited to see Fetty Wap in the audience.His song about cooking Meth was the thing that my Grandson was drawn to.Good beat ,repeat lyrics-he didn’t know it was about cooking Meth but Taylor did and said it was an honor to have him in the audience.

Why does Beyonce straighten her hair..?

Would she have me believe she’s a REAL blonde..?

WHO here is appropriating culture..?

But hey, I think it’s fine and I think that cuz I’m not COMPLETELY NUTS.

And I’m not nursing a cultural inferiority complex.

Oh, and why does she put that stupid ACCENT over the E in her first name..?

She’s French..?

I saw about 30 seconds of that garbage before I could find the clicker and change the channel. It was about the most mindless pablum I’ve watched on TV. Just don’t get the attraction.

Of course Taylor is copying the pose. She’s holding her mic in her right hand, with her arm extended at her side. Just like Beyoncé. She tries to camouflage it by varying everything else, but the arm at the side is a dead giveaway. Ya gotta be sharp to pick up these subtle appropriations.

Why don’t we just ban all white performers and get it over with. We’re starting to head in that direction, anyway.

It isn’t same pose. I hate to tell Beyonce, but her “signature pose” is hardly unique.

What makes that "black 'culture?'"
