I consider a lot of the Taylor Swift mania going around to be, at best, overblown. I’m not a fan of her music either. However, one thing she should be thoroughly commended for - she has made mousy beige hair fashionable. For the first time in history.
Whenever I’ve seen pictures of Taylor Swift there’s always something off about her hair. I now realise it’s because it seems relatively normal compared to most pop stars (aside from those curly haired ones - younger days??). The colour isn’t quite as dramatic, and somehow her hair seems kind of physically flat (closer to her head) in a number of shots.
Yep. In my young day, if you had hair like that you lost no time in using a blonding rinse, or dyeing it a darker brown. Anything, anything other than that flat mouse coloured shade. It was the ultmate in daggy, and carried the unspoken message that your parents were particularly extreme squares.
Ok, so this is a fun topic! Things we can commend Taylor Swift for!
Songwriting. Honestly, she has a way of bringing out feelings for people that they truly resonate with. I think this is the secret sauce to her whole thing. She writes honestly and earnestly about emotions and feelings that people can connect with. There isn’t enough of that in our world.
Empathy. She has a way of connecting to people even outside her music. She uses her platform to draw attention to things that matter - I know this hardly makes her unique among celebrities, and her PR is top-tier, but what she chooses to shine attention at is great.
Accessibility. This one baffles me - she manages to retain an element of privacy while seeming to let her fans feel like they’re friends. She brings people together in a way that I haven’t seen since 80’s Michael Jackson. Club membership is all very wholesome.
Commitment. She really brings 100% to everything she puts out there. People can see it and connect to it. She doesn’t turn up an hour late to a show, drunk and phone the whole thing in. She brings all she has to her shows, the constant feedback from attendance is they’ve had the time of their lives.
I just wish I could bring myself to like her voice. She’s so great at everything else, but I find her voice and song delivery to be barely average. She’s one of the only artists where I like covers of her music better than the original. In fact, it was listening to covers of her songs that really gave me an appreciation for her amazing songwriting.

I wonder how many mums dusted off their old Bedazzler to make TS inspired clothing.
“Dusting off” implies that my mum stopped using it in the first place :D
I’m jealous
I can think of at least one.
😂 Bang!
I find the deification of a billionaire to be a little off putting. Same as the Elon Musk “bros”.
Plus, she’s the icon for white feminism, an idealogy rooted in selfishness and self absorbtion.
