The latest exercise in Swiftiana combines bawdiness with a certain impulse toward conservatism, as the singer embraces suburban dreams of marriage and white-picket fences while rhapsodizing about her fiancé’s reproductive organ. In that sense it’s an appropriate text for the Trump era, when coarseness and right-wing politics have been married in a distinctive way

NY Times: Trump is responsible for Taylor Swift’s potty-mouth. Got it?
I have no use for either Taylor Swift or the NYT, so...
The rat looking spoiled brat is not worth the time of day—much less your time reading about her. Her music sucks, just shows how people are easily fooled.
Taylor is very American. And very Trumpian to boot and always has been.
She is a titan of industry with an empire of not only music, but real estate, private plane, the whole 9 yards — and yet like Trump, she too connects to “real America” but in a sensitive/artistic way. (And more down to earth.)

My favorite song on her new album is “Father Figure,” which has a very mobster family type vibe to it.

Ah, yes, as always the arbiter of all that is wise and good, "The New York Times".
George Michael’s Father Figure was 100% creepy pedo-promotion. Taylor Swift’s is different, daydreaming that she’s a black male rapper pushing violence and bragging about her penis.
I take that back. Trump is also down to earth.
Worth noting there is a “clean” version of the sing and the lyrics arguably work better.
Swift says she wrote the song after watching a closing scene in the show “Succession.”
Fo real?
“daydreaming that she’s a black male rapper pushing violence and bragging about her penis.”
I am proud to say I’ve never heard TS sing and you convinced me to not change that.
She did that to pander to her fan base so that she could accumulate $9 billion.
I’m with you on this one.
Exactly.
