“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.”

“Dang! Like, Candace, don’t like be so like inarticulate, okay?”

LOLOL...my thought exactly. What a dog’s breakfast of an article. Maybe it’s the author butchering Candace. I don’t want to dig any deeper into the dog dish to find out.

I don’t think any of this would register with her fans but it does bring up the question can one enjoy some artists work if you know awful stuff about the artists life. I don’t think there is a blanket rule but a case by case thing. The artist and the consumer/patron.

I just watched and listened to three videos with Candace Owens and in none of them did she use “like” in the sense it is shown her...

I have stopped listening to several musical artists and stopped watching certain actors movies because of their politics.

Sam Goldwyn, back in the heyday of the Big Studios era, would keep a close rein on their stable of stars under contract. No public statements on anything, and especially politics, without approval of the studio. He knew that people would stop going to see movies that actors who were opposite of their own politics were in.................

Yes...and she trashed the major record label which gave her a start and their critical business promotional clout, without which she would still be a BIG nobody.

A business contract has benefits for BOTH parties. Record labels have taken big chances on many singers who failed to generate an audience. MOST SIGNED ARTISTS GO NOWHERE !

She resents those who promoted her as an unknown because she believes she is a goddess who NEVER needed ANY help. She has always had a divine right to be famous and worshipped.

Taylor Swift is the false idol Almighty God, from mankind’s beginning, labeled the worst kind of sin.

This spoiled narcissist is overdue for the big slide down the pyramid of fame she has earned and so richly deserves.

So many of her songs trash her ex-boyfriends because IT WAS ALL OF THEIR FAULTS that nothing worked out in the many failed relationships.

Ingratitude is a terrible look and she is about to find out the price when she plummets, as many will cheer and applaud her downfall.

All she had to do is say how grateful she was to him and others for the chance. this shows how she treats people.

yes, she is a fast talker who never has much to say. A bullet point attack spewed like a shotgun. How she gets gigs on tv is a mystery

Yeah ...

Oh Taylor! Sweetie! The common factor in all your failed relationships is YOU.
