Actually, last I checked, Taylor ate humble pie and apologized without a word of complaint. And she did this even though she'd done nothing wrong and was being publicly blamed for another woman's immature, sore-loser behavior. That, to me, suggests a pretty massive amount of maturity.

As for Bad Blood - it's the media that's making a big deal about who specifically that song's about. Taylor has made a very concerted effort NOT to name names when asked who her songs are about, no matter how much people pry. It's not her fault that the public insists on making a catfight out of something so much smaller and more run of the mill.

SA

That is, she has made an effort not to name names except for John Mayer and Harry Styles. But honestly? My perspective is that John Mayer was probably such a nasty piece of work that he deserved being called out, and that "Style" is overall such a neutral-to-positive portrayal of Harry Styles that it was more a matter of Taylor wanting to pay him a compliment and honor their relationship than call him out on it.

YMMV, though, I suppose.

Taylor's made an effort not to name names, but it has also been made clear who it is about. And I generally assume that Taylor is in control of her pub enough that if she actually didn't want it that way, it wouldn't be.

For instance, probably no one would know about it if she hadn't talked about what it was about (albeit with no names, but still). That's not what you do if you really don't want it to get out

Exactly this. She tries to play coy by going I'm not naming names BUTTTTTT it's totally about those dancers who were stolen from me" and it's not hard to put together the peices.

Taylor has always done this shit, dropping hints in her songs about who it's about and talking about it. She's drinking her own kool-aid too much and the media/others have every right to call her out on this hypocrisy.

Why should Taylor worry herself about what other people may or may not put together when they pry into her business? Why would the burden be on her to somehow find a balance between writing songs that are personal to her and yet keeping them so nondescript and/or cryptic that the media can't figure it out? That sounds almost impossible to me, especially if one's writing style is personal and confessional, as Taylor's is.

By leaving people's names out of it, she allows her exs and ex-friends plausible deniability, and that's really what counts, especially in the world of the famous.

I don't really give a shit. I'm just saying, she said what she said and she was doing what she was doing, and what she did was not aloofly stay above the fray, you know?

No, I really don't know.

Actually I had no idea it was about Katy Perry up until I read this thread.
