If you listened to “Father Figure” and thought it sounded familiar, you’re not crazy. In Taylor Swift’s newest album, “The Life of a Showgirl”, her song “Father Figure” uses bits of George Michael’s 1987 classic of the same name, including the lyrics, “I’ll be your father figure” as well as some of the melody. However, the message Swift sends couldn’t be more different than the one Michael sent. You want a fight, you found it I got the place surrounded You’ll be sleeping with the fishes before you know you’re drowning Whose portrait’s on the mantle? Who covered up your...

Singer and songwriter Taylor Swift released the new album “The Life of a Showgirl” on Friday, which included a song expressing a desire to “settle down” and have children. The new album prompted a wave of pushback from left-leaning women online, including one clip where a woman claimed Swift went on her “boyfriend’s football podcast” to “announce” it and proceeding to lace into the singer for tying herself to Travis Kelce and the National Football League. The Daily Caller’s Natalie Sandoval breaks down the situation for Media Madness. VIDEO AT LINK...............

LEAWOOD, KS — Following the release of her new album, singer-songwriter Taylor Swift reportedly sat down with her fiancé, football star Travis Kelce, to assure him that her hit new song "Dumb Hairy Football Jock" was not about him. "Don't be silly. It's about some... other... dumb hairy football jock," Swift said. "I mean, not other as in, you are also a dumb football jock, just... look, it's not about you, okay?"

Taylor Swift’s new album “The Life of a Showgirl” is barely three days old, and already woke killjoys are tearing it apart, finding offensive lyrics where there are none. Overly online social media critics of Swift apparently instantaneously decided the new album is rife with racism and homophobia, as well as secret messages of support for the patriarchy, eugenics, and Donald Trump. Forensic “investigations” have uncovered “dog-whistles,” but only woke detectives themselves are capable of hearing them. Either Swift is a covert alt-right influencer, or her young critics have been taught to see oppression everywhere, including where it quite clearly...

Taylor Swift’s 12th studio album The Life of a Showgirl marks her transition from billionaire mogul to soon-to-be spouse of NFL superstar Travis Kelce. “Did you girlboss too close to the sun?”, for example, is a line from her new song “Cancelled!”. It is an unashamedly conservative-coded record, and not only because she is now approaching matrimony. At the start of her career, Swift’s politics were oblique. But as time went on, she began to repeat the shibboleths that reflected her young, female fanbase. To mark Pride Month 2019, Swift started a petition in support of the Equality Act. In...

As a former so-called Swiftie, it stinks to watch the once-precocious pop star devolve into musical drivel that’s at best banal and at worst agonizing.I didn’t think the bar for Taylor Swift albums could get any lower than “Tortured Poets Department.” Then she released “The Life of a Showgirl,” and I can’t stop cringing.I take no pleasure in hating the new album. I’m not one of those cantankerous Gen Xers who lives to tell the youths that music peaked in the ’80s and that there will never be talent like fill-in-the-blank artist who happened to hit the scene just as...

If we see Taylor Swift at Super Bowl LX, it won't be onstage. She'll be in a suite, drink in hand, like she usually is. According to multiple reports, the world’s biggest pop star has walked away from an offer to headline the NFL’s biggest game after negotiations with the league broke down. She had some requests, and the NFL reportedly refused to budge.

Taylor Swift’s $17 million Rhode Island mansion isn’t just a star-studded backdrop anymore—it’s ground zero for a growing tax revolt aimed at the wealthy. Starting next summer, the state will slap a new surcharge on vacation homes worth $1 million or more, a move already dubbed the “Taylor Swift Tax.” The goal: Make deep-pocketed second-home owners pay more, and set the stage for a wave of similar crackdowns from Montana’s mountains to Connecticut’s suburbs. And yet, at the very top of the market, wealthy buyers are still scooping up real estate. As of April 2025, the $1 million-plus category has...

VIDEOBy acting like an idiotic Swiftie Fangirl over the announcement of Taylor Swift's engagement, CBS White House reporter Olivia Rinaldi inadvertently led to the discovery of video of her colleague Scott MacFarlane huddling in terror under the press bleachers in Butler, PA on the fateful day of the assassination attempt upon President Trump. After your humble correspondent saw the Rinaldi Swiftie fangirl video, he started searching for other examples of Rinaldi's idiocy. Right away the Butler video was found in which she recorded on the press aftermath after the assassination attempt including a brief clip of MacFarlane crouched under the...

U.S. — Taylor Swift's love story came to an abrupt end after a referee jumped out of the bushes following her engagement to football player Travis Kelce and overturned the proposal. The lovestruck couple reportedly jumped when the ref loudly blew his whistle and gestured wildly from the bushes. "The player's knee did not make full contact with the ground. This engagement is null and void," the referee said, signaling the call with a professional hand gesture. "The ring must be removed from Taylor Swift's finger and returned to its case. Repeat 4th-down." The ruling was challenged but upheld after...

VIDEOAs soon as I heard that Taylor Swift had gotten engaged to Travis Kelce I thought that there was a poor shmoe destined to be immortalized as a monster in one or more of her future record albums. My second thought was wondering what was the reaction to this news from Swift's number one fan, the Liberal Pink Hat Lady. I checked and the answer is "gushing teenybopper" despite the fact she is well into her fifties. As you can see, the Liberal Pink Hat Lady is the comedy gift that keeps on giving. The good news for her, is...

VIDEODid James Comey suddenly become a bizarre Taylor Swift fan like the Liberal Pink Hat Lady or did he have an ulterior motive for his recent wacky video? Brian Craig, co-host of the Steve Kane radio show, thinks that Comey might have been sending out coded messages to his Russiagate co-conspirators such as John Brennan and James Clapper. If Brian is right, perhaps the FBI needs to employ the services of a Taylor Swift codebreaker. Hey, who better to perform that task than the Liberal Pink Hat Lady? Just have an FBI agent pose as a Taylor Swift fangirl and...
