The Swifties - A New Age Religious Movement Revolving Around Taylor Swift

[John Shedletsky]

@Null, you must confirm if you're a true Swiftie or not.

Sounds pretty based to me. If doxing degenerates is a cow trait, then the entire Kiwi Farms userbase consists of lolcows. Honestly, I think people who hate Taylor Swift should be heavily questioned as to their attitudes because she's not hurting anybody and is helping unite people, ultimately. You have no theory of mind if you can't say "I don't like her but I can see why others might". Nobody seethed this hard over the MCU (which has always been low-quality) at its height.

you can just say you're a swiftie brah

 

[Dire Dire Cocks]

The people who believe that Taylor Swift is actually a bunch of pigeons in a coat masquerading as a pop star for the last 15 years in order to get Biden re-elected are the real lolcows.

I stand by my belief that nobody really believes this and the conspiracy itself is a fucking psyop.

The thing is... I don't even know a swiftie even though apparently they're everywhere. I'm just annoyed that NOBODY, LEFT or RIGHT, will shut the fuck up about her.

It's a shit song that proves Swift is still moderately illiterate (she also doesn't understand things like Romeo and Juliet and Scarlet Letter), and I don't intend to do much research to determine what the fuck else she has grade-school understanding of, but if her grade-school understanding of music theory, romantic tropes and poetry is any indication, it's a sucker bet to think I wouldn't uncover other tardery.

She's like the Forrest Gump of music. Her talents exist on a purely rudimentary level, so naturally people flock to them.

An anti-hero is such because there's some good that they produce despite being an asshole. The only thing that comes across in this song is "I'm an asshole". Well, where's the "hero" part of the story? Where's the optimist hidden behind the hardened cynic? Beats me, but it comes across more as "I'm an asshole, but you love me anyway" than "I'm an asshole trying to do good."

Confirmed, Kiwifarms is now a swiftie sanctuary.
With the swifties apreciation for doxing random people talking shit they'll fit right in with the crowd

Swifties were already insufferable as teenagers over a decade ago when they thought she was brilliant for producing nu-country songs and making the same song about breaking up with a boyfriend over and over again. I remember Beiber fans being downright obsessive and cult-like, but I haven't seen anyone rabidly clamoring about him in years.

The Eras Tour movie was basically a recording of her stage performances, iirc. It wasn't even special. It somehow made $260 million dollars.

I guess I'm surprised that she hasn't faded in terms in popularity, like the other musical acts that were around when she initially gained fame.

Is Taylor Swift going to end up like John Lennon? Shes going to mock god and then some swiftie is going to shoot her because shes madly in love with her and if she cant have her then nobody can.

She is the only popular white female music artist in the business today that doesn't look like a methed-out trailer skank. Turns out that there is still a market for that sort of thing.

Will you include the swifty dylan mulvany? There is pure lunacy in his behavior that matches other swifties. The bracelet exchange video is a good example. On Taylor herself, her music really is mid tier. She acts innocent and pure, but she's everything but that. She's just better at hiding it than say Brittany Spears, Miley Cyrus, and Katty Perry. With her strange behavior with her ex boyfriends, you'd think most people would catch on something's not right with her.

That tranny is a Swifty? I never made the connection.

I’m baffled why she’s so popular. All her music sounds the same, it’s incredibly dull and she writes about the same topics over and over again. She’s not MJ big or Madonna big. They both tried to vary their sound during their careers. Taylor has 0 growth or flexibility and it’s embarrassing that she’s dated all these people and hasn’t gotten married by now. You’re in your 30’s Taylor—it’s time to stop whining about ex boyfriend 1,000 and settle down.

Also for the OP I’d mention her fans arguing about her being a good and ethical billionaire. The cope from them to want Taylor to be perfect is insane.

Birds of a feather flock together. Swift has many behaviours that mark her publicly as an adult infant. So of course she finds resonance in rabid infants and other adult infants. I also never found enjoyment in Swift's music, but maybe that is just because I don't 'get' it.

Probably has been mentioned already, but Swift LOVES using her private jet. Her carbon footprint is massive.

 

[TapewormSalesman]

Obligatory: Taylor Swift is worst at picking men

To be fair when your entire career ends up being based on breakup/bpd songs, you're gonna run out of material if you end up in a stable relationship.

 

[Honestly]

Lana Del Ray is better.

 

[Vect]

They played that song, 'Shake It Off', at my local Lego store on repeat for a while? It's alright.

 

[Night Crawler]

If Taylor Swift could take a dildo up her ass the size of a salami at a deli counter I might start giving a shit. Until then I don't really care.

Most of these modern pop stars don't have any talent anyway. They all can't sing and they just lip sync shit that was produced by computers and software. You don't have to have any talent these days. Just "sing" into a mic at a studio and they will make it sound like you can actually sing and not like some average jack off in the shower or their car.

The really weird thing is that most of her fans are females and they aren't that young. They are mostly Millennial women children with a bad case of Peter Pan syndrome. They never grew up and developed an adult taste in music. The kind of women that keep stuffed animals on their beds.

The good thing is hardly any of these stupid bitches vote.

Yeah she basically has a monopoly on girlpop because They don't see why we would need more than one idol, kind of like how Leonardo DiCaprio is the only Hollywood leading man on offer.

 

[I'm Really Feeling It]

Don't know, I don't agree with these crazy conspiracy theories that she's some massive political prop. Starlets are definitely groomed, made and marketed, so her rise is obviously artificial. She seems no different than Miley Cyrus of the 2000s - while it took Miley to have an entire Disney show for best marketing, all Taylor needed was the social media virality plague to spread worldwide.

 

[PaladinBoo]

Taylor herself isn't deserving of the hate she gets but boy her fans are. Her fans remind me a lot of Disney fans. These are people that, instead of liking something for what it is and enjoying it, make a religion out of it. The type of people that take out second mortgages on their homes in order to make a pilgrimage to her concerts. No different than Disney fans who do the same to go live it up at Disney World for a week. To me it is pretty sad and disheartening. These people are replacing a God shaped hole in their life with materialism. A all too common thing nowadays in the West.

 

[Sneeds]

This is truly horrifying

 

[S.C.U.D.]

Taytay's music is not for me, just not my style, but it's silly to get a hateboner for her like the haters do, or even really dislike her at all. I simply don't listen to her music and move on with my life.

My only contribution to this thread is I know more than a few middle-aged white guys who have become massive Swifties in the last year. They're buying Taylor Swift merch (they love her Displates), blasting her music every day, very odd, but that's as far as it goes. They aren't demanding I love her music or anything, they're just normal big fans. I haven't had any personal interactions on or offline with the truly crazy fans besides seeing those Dylan Mulvaney Tiktoks from when he went to one of her shows.
