Taylor Swift fans share music critic's address, phone numbers and threaten to burn down her home hours after she gave the singer's new album an 8/10 review that followers deemed that was not enough

Taylor Swift fans harassed Pitchfork’s editor following her review of the star’s new album, which, though positive, wasn't sparkling enough.

On Monday Pitchfork’s senior editor Jillian Mapes published a review of the singer’s eighth album Folklore, and hours later was bombarded with angry messages on social media where crazed fans tweeted out her address, phone number and photos of her home and herself.

However, Mapes's review gave Swift’s album an eight out of 10 rating and praised it as 'a sweater-weather record filled with cinematic love songs and rich fictional details.'

Charge them all with terroristic threatening - sue them for harassment and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Letting this stuff go is only inviting more of it.

This needs to stop. Social media was supposed to bring people together, instead it made mobs that tear us apart.

That ain’t really a bad review. It isn’t a pan.

Seems like it is taking too long for folks to figure that out.

Spoiled children are a pain, when they’re age 2 or 3. But when they remain spoiled children as “young adults”, with skulls stuffed full of leftist grievance mentality and supreme self-righteousness, they become dangerous.

Her music is for people not old enough to go to the country bars and honkytonks.

Meanwhile, where are the parents? Kids have free rein with powerful tech in a disassociated manner. Nothing but a bunch of anonymous bullies who live at home with mommy and daddy drinking sippy cups making terroristic threats.

IMHO this is what happens when the “rule of law” is not enforced. When a two tiered justice system ignores crimes such as illegal immigration, subversion of secrecy laws, attempted coups, riots, and various crimes committed by persons of a certain political or “racial” class. Those that are raised to feel entitled now feel they can get away with just about any kind of behavior and not face consequences.

Taylor Swift has made a career singing about her poor choices of men, but has endorsed sleepy, sniffy Joe.

That’s not only wrong, I think it’s got to be criminal in some way. It’s quite menacing.

What about something like inciting physical harm? I am a lawyer but have no idea what the criminal laws are in the state, I guess probably California, where Taylor Swift lives.

It’s more than ‘cancel’ culture- a whole group of millennials were raised with a trophy for everything and when they don’t get what they want they have tantrums.

If there is one song she’ll ever write I could like, it would astonish me greatly.

Yup.

Even if some of the people that did it were underage. This crap needs to have examples made of the trash that does it.

It should be made a federal crime.

These juvenile delinquents are watching and learning from the Woke mob.

What an ugly, dystopian society we’re careening toward with The Left in the driver’s seat, putting the pedal to the metal.

I don’t mean to be callous or take threats lightly, but I just have to laugh at crap like this. Offer the mildest criticism? OK, we’re going to kill you . . . . .
