If I may, and in the spirit of Andrew Breitbart’s politics being downstream from culture…
…whether she or the left like it or not, Taylor Swift embodies American Individualism and Exceptionalism:
-she was raised a Christian by her undivorced parents
-she didn’t got to private border schools; she has a combo private and public school education
-she wasn’t an immediate hit. She had rejections
-she started out in country music, bucking the trend of being a dopey pop slut
-she writes and performs her own material and instruments
-she’s not writing smutty or blatantly anti-American songs
-she’s got a higher net worth than Rush did - HT Gary from Dayton: “Swift is wealthier than most countries of the world.”
-she’s not on TMZ smashing a car windshield with a baseball bad
-no government handouts, no abrogation of others’ rights
If we put this resume in front of any leftists, they’d writhe and protest and cheapen and slander. Alternatively, any traditional person would consider her an American Success Story.
She’s not Dolly Parton (yet..), but she’s light years ahead of Doja Cat, Nicki Minaj, Lady Gaga, and those has-beens Brittany Spears and Christina Aguilera and the Uglyness Formerly Known As Madonna.
Taylor Swift is not on my playlist, I know one of her songs (Shake It Off, which is kinda catchy though she wrote the lyrics and not the melody), and her politics are not in my ballpark.
That said, the whole “the right hates TSwift” saga is a MSM ginned-up controversy. It’s likely devised to keep the masses hypnotized from her underlying uniquely American success.
Trump’s tweet is sort of an attempt to sort all this out. Had he consulted with us, the tweet would be better. Alas, he’s not on FR (unless he’s Laz).
It would behoove Deplorables to not take the bait and go on the offensive, like reclaiming the rainbow for God: chat about all the positive, AMERICAN qualities Ms Swift brings to the world.
Every time a Taylor Swift song is streamed, a few moments are taken off Klaus Schwab’s life, the lights flicker at a BRICS meeting, and a kitten is born.
Did she even mention Toby Keith’s passing? You know, the guy that was primarily responsible for getting her started?
Yep. Thats all that needed to be said. IMHO.
And that this Super Bowl has been subjugated to her tenuous relationship to a player (who's own ex was of different race but approves to get in on the money wagon) makes me pine for the Budweiser Clydesdales whom we know have no agenda other than a nice feed bag.
Oh boy..you have it wrong about her parents. Very acrimonious. You should read the Scott Swift email where he is talking about his prostate and all the crap he says about Andrea. They might have smoothed things over to at least tolerate each other now but they are divorced supposedly. Not sure anyone has ever seen the divorce docs.
Travis Kelce parents stayed together for their sons while growing up. I don’t know when they divorced but they are also divorced now.
