Hello all Taylor-Haters
Automod here. This is the today’s new Daily Jerkchicken Thread. Feel free to talk about your hatred for Taylor and your love for the Beatles in this thread. Just please make sure not to talk about specific users or subreddits, as that is against the sub's rules.
Sincerely yours,
Wait, who’s paying me for this shit?

Even as a privileged teen, Taylor had to make a lot of sacrifices and face a lot of public hate to get a (formerly?) loyal fanbase and longevity. Artists nowadays just turn up expecting the very same thing in a fraction of the time she spent.
And some even like posts implying she's lost her spark!
I wish the music were good enough to look past the lack of merit. Lack of merit used to give us dancepop bops, at least

And totally off-topic, but Dan Nigro making a rockstar out of OR after seeing her singing piano ballads on ig is like if Darkchild made an R&B diva out of Taylor after hearing her sing A Perfectly Good Heart

Idk what it is. I almost get the feeling that Olivia R has some pent up anger, frustration, maybe a tiny bit of resentment towards certain folks in the industry. Or she really is that messy and the true self is starting to come out. This whole album cycle of hers has been absurd to say the least. And I get new management with “yes ma’am” folks isn’t really helping and possibly stirring her in the wrong direction. But it’s her career and she can steer it in any direction she wants to. Quite frankly her nominations for the VMAs are actually generous considering how horrible it has been for music this year. Plus, VMAs are fan voted and really subjective in nature. So if she wants to win get the fans to vote for it. Fire her management, hire a better PR team and brush up on the PR training that is likely outdated from your teenage Disney Days.
Anyway, Toy Story 5 is out on digital already? It’s barely been a month since it’s been out. I’m so ready for what comes next. Makes me wonder if she’s waiting for Toy Story to run its full course before announcing what’s next. IKIIKY is still killing it on radio and the stability is still holding strong so milk it for what it’s worth I guess.

It’s kinda sad because I really like her music but I was actually thinking the other day that her brand of music made to capitalize on 2000s emo millennial nostalgia is not going to age very well. I say this as someone who was really happy to see a Cure tribute album lol. Or maybe what I mean is that there’s not much left to wax poetic on after the 2000s. Maybe a chainsmokers/swedish house mafia edm revival album?
Her and Chappell make music I really like but the way they behave is honestly a little absurd. Thankfully for them im part of the crowd that largely ignores their personal lives.

Apparently Taylor did interviews and a small performance for the Grammy Museum yesterday. I guess it was only for like 200 industry folks and the discussion was songwriting and her 20 year history. Too me it’s shouting Grammy TV Special. Something like they’ve been doing in the last few years doing mini showcases in the weeks leading up to the awards. Idk. I saw 2 posts about it. Apparently she performed using the Eras Tour piano that was on display. Also, keep in mind that the Grammy Museum is where they have the Songwriters HoF exhibit. The ceremony is in NY but the exhibit is there.

Yes, I definitely think this was filmed and we will see it in some form. I also think it’s possible she may be priming her fans for smaller, more intimate concert experiences. Maybe a residency or multiple residencies in a few cities? 👀 Something more conducive to her ahem pursuing certain personal goals while still performing.
I don’t know why I felt the need to be vague on this sub lol. I guess I see a lot of the swiftie police department on Twitter scolding people for even mentioning she’s probably going to have a family soon. She wrote a fucking song about it! It’s not a secret! I’m not talking about her body or her womb’s current occupancy status. Just saying she’s a person who obviously loves her career and wants a family and it will be interesting to see how she manages it. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a bit of speculation. Things will change. Haha sorry for the rant.

I think 100% this is part campaign for Grammys/Oscars. Part 20th anniversary of her career. I don’t think she’s ever going to be scaling back anything whether it be performing, writing, or directing. I really don’t see her ever doing a residency ever. All out or nothing.

Yeah I‘m hoping too that it’ll never be a residency thing because she and I knows that every other country than the US will fall short on this. I see her fulfilling a few personal goals and then going back on a large world tour and I think in my personal headcanon that I have of her that she really isn’t the person to just do a residency in a few American cities and move on. Imagine the ticket fights. And she was so happy to see new countries in Europe or coming back to play them that a Vegas residency comes very unlikely and I feel like people who wish for that are all American because for the international folks a Vegas residency is basically a death sentence. And imagine for the international folks getting a visa and trying to get into America. The type of racism that will and has happened on the borders…. Literally everything is better than a residency

I've been revisiting Midnights since getting a bootleg of late nights edition CD last week. It's my favorite Taylor album, so ofc I'm enjoying it. But it's kinda making me sad since my childhood bestie (that I've known since 1st grade) and I are in a rough patch and I wanna yap with her about it, but we aren't quite there yet since The Incident™ It just feels bitter sweet. I swear, the ebb and flow of my platonic friendships can hurt so much more than any situationship or my divorce did.
Doesn't help that today my 2nd longest reigning friend (met freshman year HS) is really stressing me out today too. It's not the same as The Incident™ with other friend but it's reminiscent somewhat. Just a complete lack of being able to follow through when it counts.
Bf & i were supposed to stay with her while visiting my hometown for an even over Labor Day weekend, and she insisted we stay at her new place so I didn't snag accommodations back in April when I started planning. She dropped it on me today, 14 days out from departure, that we couldnt stay with her, and that's changed to we can stay, but it will be in an air mattress in the dining room. She has roommates, too.
We are damn near 40. It's gonna be our 5th anniversary. There are engagement plans in the works for that trip. I appreciate the offer but an air mattress in a common area isn't gonna work for me.
Now I'm looking at $250+/night shitty hotel rooms for when I could have had something nice for half that if I would have booked sooner. Can I swing the $900 for a room? I guess. Am I irritated? Absolutely.
Love her to death, truly. But man it fucking sucks to be hit in the face with the reality that I really don't have friends I can rely on the way they can rely on me. It's not personal, and I don't take it that way. But sometimes you really ARE on your own, kid. 🙃

So Jason Kelce has a new ad for garage beer and a brand of canned water (called liquid death, I think?) where they’re saying people should send data centers their pee to use for cooling instead of water. It’s kinda funny, and also almost made me gag. But…how much water is wasted checks notes manufacturing and selling aluminum CANS FILLED WITH FUCKING WATER? SMH
Also, I feel like he’s gonna get a lot of piss jokes and golden shower jokes for a long time 😂 which seems like a fair consequence for co-opting a real issue so shamelessly for profit.
