Her music is always being used on TikToks, the golden globes, various music/vinyl reddits and Facebook groups I follow are constantly talking about her and just last week the political podcast I followed posted this episode

Because it's newsworthy that a bunch of broken brain people on the right want to take on the reigning biggest popstar over some weird conspiracy that she's a plant to help swing an election. Your issue lies not with Taylor Swift but with everyone's fascination with her.

Radio (my GF likes to listen to the radio, every sixth song is a Swift tune and DJs love to wax poetic on her), politics (both her own advocacy and the ill-mannered takes of others), film (her concert film was a major media discussion, she is also in films albeit bad ones), concert touring discussion, discussion about other musicians and music, significant others forcing her into conversations on entirely unrelated topics, people who hate her forcing her into conversation on entirely unrelated topics, Spotify algorithms throwing her into playlists constantly, etc.

Like, I'm kind of envious of y'all who get to choose entirely what your world bubble looks like but some of us live with folks or interact with people or have Taylor participate in areas where that luxury doesn't exist.

I feel like I am probably the closest to an actual hermit around here and I am genuinely befuddled by the amount of people who are like I don’t understand where you guys are seeing Taylor. I see the news maybe once every six months and she’s even there. The entirety of my television consumption is cooking/food shows, home Reno shows and toddler shows. She’s everywhere.

My wife considers herself a swiftie, so maybe because I don’t fight it, I don’t consider myself to be impacted by it because it’s something that she enjoys (and her buying vinyl means I get off scot free when the boat load of my boxes arrive). I probably heard Folklore over 100 times during Covid. Still like it, which tells me it’s a good album.

I also try to ensure that I have my own bubble within the household bubble.

I think the actual thing is the right are genuinely scared because there’s a decent possibility from polling data that an endorsement from her could majorly influence the outcome.

Equally if that podcast came up in my feed and was an about say, FJM, I’d just mark it read and move on. Life’s too short to get frustrated about the fame of a famous person.

I’m also legitimately preparing myself for the real possibility that I will have to vote for her on the democratic ticket within the next 20 years. She polls way too well for that not to happen

It depends if she wants that aggravation in her life. It feels like it took the emergence of the tangerine fascist to make her utter anything even remotely political.

Yeah in my workplace I’m the only man in my grade or the grade below or the two grades above. Often the conversation goes in directions, both in terms of tv and music, and in terms of how terrible all men are, that I don’t particularly want to be involved in. I just go into selective hearing mode and do some work…
