![]() all too well was a short film on her “Taylors version” album and i watched it and felt so bad for her cause nobody deserves to be gaslit like that. i have never seen her comment in her support of black lives matter or supporting asian americans when they were expierencing a rise of hate crimes this year. i just thing sometimes taylor can be racially insensitve and if she wants to be this activist like she claims to she needs to stop getting into it with mentally ill black men in their 40s and victimizing herself and start advocating for bipoc people around the world who are actually struggling. victimizing yourself for the past 10+ years cause he hurt your feelings, really ? also being aware that he struggles with mental illness and insisting on getting into it with him publicly sometimes provoking him and then hiding your hands after throwing rocks. yes what he did was wrong and stupid and he totally deserved to get told about himself. if she had a problem with the line ( which is understandable it was lame and sextist ) she should’ve called out the writer which is really easy to do instead of being hyber aware that her attack dogs were bullying black women and doing nothing about it. i’ve actually seen her enable her fans to harass a black actress for a line in a tv series. taylor claims to be someone whos politically woke and wants to speak up for the voiceless but i’ve never seen her defend a black person or a person of color ever. my next problem with her is her anti blackness issue. which to me is very problematic and not feminist at all, blaming men for everything may be fun in jokes but sticking together is going to get things done. taylor just took the blame off of herself. but she didn’t, instead of rallying behind nicki as an actual feminist would do and support her as she called out an industry that was being biased against black women specifically. nicki minaj called out mtv and used taylor and another artist as an example and taylors response was “maybe one of the men took your spot” instead of saying yeah i totally see what you’re talking about you did great and your video was impactful ( which is was it was the biggest music video drop of that year ) and you deserve to be up here. to be more specific nicki minaj was not nominated for a mtv award when it came to best music video for anaconda despite the video having more views than all the nominees. i could go in depth about how i’ve never seen her advocate for black women and other women of color and i’ve actually infact seen her blame men for something when she could’ve used her platform and called out what was wrong. feminism is suppose to be something to aid all women and help women achieve equal rights and respect both socially and in the work place but when you’re only advocating for white womens rights then you start teetering on white supremacist territory and thats an issue. the white cis-heterosexual able bodied woman. my problem with taylors feminism is that, she only includes one type of woman when shes advocating for women. and yes i believe that feminism is something great to talk about and women deserve support and need to be fought for especially after everything women and people assigned female at birth go through. taylor spent a lot of her early career dealing with misogynist in her business telling her about the people she dated as if any of thats their business. taylor swift’s career post red era has been about two things. i now know that fact is only a part of it. ![]() the older i got though the connection i had to taylor disappeared and i often credit that fact to my journey of self love for me being a black person and being more proud of my culture. ![]() i myself have always been a girls girl ( now enby but you know what i mean ). i didn’t care about her dating history, or where she was from or the genre of music she made. i was inspired by her work ethic and in awe of her talent. i was astounded by her beauty, the eurocentric features she had that i as a black person envied at the time. As someone who spent their youth idolizing the woman, i was once in a place where i would consider taylor swift my hero.
