“Toxic”: Candace Owens Sounds Off On Taylor Swift [WATCH]
American Tribune ^ | February 15, 2024 | Will Tanner

During an event on Tuesday, February 13, Daily Wire podcast host Candace Owens spoke out about Taylor Swift, describing the liberal popstar as “the most toxic feminist that’s ever existed.” Her comments came during a “Backstage” event for DailyWire+ subscribers in which she spoke with Jeremey Boreing, Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles, and Matt Walsh.

Beginning, Owens said, “Obviously, if you’ve seen what she’s even done in business and how she tries to manipulate her audiences like to get out of like, deals and contracts, she’s totally insane. Like she’s the most toxic feminist that’s ever existed. And what she does is basically the threat is that if she doesn’t get what she wants, she writes a song about a guy, and then has 15, 15 million girls seeing the songs and drops little clues . . . it’s totally psychotic . . .”

Explaining why that’s a problem, Candace pointed to the fanaticism of the “Swiftie” girls when they think they’re sticking up for Taylor, saying, “And then there’s a bunch of like, 10 year old girls whose brains are not developed, who then go and attack whoever it is.”

Giving an example of that, Candace continued, “Like Scooter Braun’s family, young kids literally had to go into hiding and get security because Taylor Swift wanted out of the deal, but he legally purchased her catalog of music.”

She went on, saying, “And she wrote this, you have to go find it on Tumblr, this like glorious rephrasing of basically like ‘my dad signed a contract, a legal contract legally binding contract for me when I was 15. He now has the catalog and he purchased it.’ And she was just like, you know, as a woman, I sat on the floor and I wrote these songs, and then they tried to kill scooter Braun’s family and he did nothing wrong. only had it for like six months before he let somebody else purchase it but like she hated Scooter Braun . . . ”

After the podcast hosts went back and forth about Travis Kelce and his past dating history, Matt Walsh briefly jumped in and joked that it was a hard to say that Swift is the most toxic feminist, implying that there are many. Doing so, he said, “She is awful. I think I think calling her the most toxic feminist ever is quite a statement.“

Explaining her comment, Candace said, “Toxic feminism is when you use being it’s like Kashia Taylor Swift. They’ve been doing this. It’s a new breed of feminism. She’s a new breed. Yeah, I’ve writing an entire book on this. It’s like the Lena Dunham school of thought she literally said Lena Dunham taught me feminism which basically means that you can get whatever you want so long as you’re able to sell to people that you’re a victim because you’re a woman, and she has done it to the tune of a billion dollars.”

Returning to the Scooter Braun example, Candace said, “Like she rerecorded her catalog and resold the same album because Scooter Braun legally purchased her catalog. Her dad was sitting on the board of the company and she said ‘I didn’t know it was getting sold.’ You know is getting sold? Your dad is sitting on the board of the company. What are you talking about? But eight year old girls don’t understand business.”

I had figured Taylor Swift for a tramp from the beginning. That was my opinion.
Not saying I am an expert on tramps. But who is?
Anyway, Swift rhymes with ... mmm-mmmm?? GRIFT!
If people would (maybe) refer to Taylor Grift ... well, it might cause a lot of blow back.

The overuse of “like” makes it hard to take Owens seriously. Has she always done this?

I like your way of thinking. Taylor Grift makes sense, but there are so many who will say that she’s just a smart businesswoman.

Taylor Swift legally rerecorded her albums.

That seemed like a smart move from her.

Honestly, don’t care a wit about any of this Taylor obsessed crap.

Blows my mind anyone is waisting a second of brain power on her or any other pop musician...

But that’s the world we live in.

They all use it. Watch “Gutfeld”. The inappropriate use of “like” makes a smart person sound stupid.I

When Travis Kelce has his eventual roid rage fit with Tay Tay, it’ll all come back to haunt the NFL. She will, no doubt, throw another fit, write about it, and make billions more.

Another case of TDS - Taylor Derangement Syndrome.

“Most toxic”? Has she not seen the view? Kathy Griffith? A certain ex presidential candidate? Nancy Pelosi? Max8ne Watters?

There are always gonna be the brain-dead pop stars like swift that have a following of like’”minded” zombie worshippers. It’s just something society has to bear. In 20 or 30 years some other toxic female will emerge as the zombie’s new flavor of the month-

But “most toxic ever”? A bit of a stretch.

I pretty much don’t watch any news shows. My tv is for watching movies, sports, cooking/grilling shows, history, and home improvement type shows. No news shows allowed. No daytime tv shows. I don’t think I hear the “like” word being tossed around all the time on those.

I use to think Candace was pretty smart, urbane and sane. After this nonsense and a couple of earlier off-the-wall political comments (which I forget what they were about), she’s done

My sister made her daughter (12 at the time) say “bucket” every time she said “like”. Niece figured out pretty quickly how often she was saying it and stopped. Pretty clever.
