I'm a huge swiftie. That's not a lie. However Taylor's number one issue in my book is her absolute non-caring for the damage she's done to the planet.

This isn't a coincidence. It's not about stalking. Last week she was caught taking a 40 minute flight, releasing more carbon by herself then most of us do in an entire year.

I love Taylor, but it's shameful that she continues to do this. When she dated Joe the tracker showed she flew back and forth between England and New York on average 3 times a week. A week.

And she doesn't even bother to at least buy offsets or something. She could buy massive swaths of rainforest to preserve to make up for it and it'd barely make a dent. She could replant entire forests.

I love Taylor, but I'm ashamed she's hurting the planet so much without seemingly a care - and now trying to sue the people who expose her for it.

It's always so weird to me when swifties have to say "I love Taylor, but..." Like "I love Taylor, but she raped my dog!" "I love Taylor, but she killed my parents!"

At what fucking point do you stop loving her? She doesn't love you. She'd feed you to her private jet to keep it running.

I never got the obsession with celebrities. How can you care so much for someone that doesn't even know you exist.

I think it has morphed over time, in America at least. We used to be obsessed with politicians in our infancy, it's said that Thomas Edison's face was printed onto a blank envelope with no other information on it, left with a mail deliverer, and was successfully delivered to Edison himself some time later. Talk about brand recognition.

"killed my parents" and "raped my dog" are obvious hyperbole, which means you failed to come up with even one (1) other problem besides the private jet.

Yeah the private jet thing sucks shit, but over the top nonsense in the other direction is not helping you make your case.

I was taking the piss and I'm not going to research swift, but I hear swifties saying "get your shit together gurl, so I can love you" so constantly that I'm pretty sure that you know some examples off the top of your head.

The private jet thing is so bad it is worth mentioning twice though.

Exactly. People can hold two completely separate views of her. I love her music, she makes me feel things. But I can also acknowledge that she's a billionaire now and should be giving back. Those feelings are not mutually exclusive.
