Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

The number of times you use the word "bitch" in your comment gives me the solid impression that you're not actually worth replying to, but what the hell, I'm bored.

Picture to Burn -- She's going to tell his friends he's gay, date all his friends, burn photographic evidence of his existence.

The actual line is, "Go ahead and tell your friends I'm crazy, I'll tell mine your gay." First of all, Taylor cut that line from subsequent iterations of the track so as not to be offensive to LGB individuals. Secondly, we're talking about a guy who goes around spreading "crazy ex" rumors. It's emotional, and immature on both sides. But when two sixteen-year-olds break up, that's pretty standard. The "date all your friends" line is obviously tongue in cheek, but even if it weren't, so what? If Taylor wants to date all her ex's friends and they want to date her, that's completely her prerogative. And who the hell takes issue with someone burning their ex's pictures after a messy breakup? I've never done it myself, but if it's a comfort, I say more power to them.

Dear John -- She actually wrote it TO break up with the guy instead of even doing the decent thing and talking to him.

This is not accurate information. They had broken up. Then she wrote this song, in which she basically wrote down all the things she wanted to say, post breakup, as final parting words, and put them in a song. Presumably John Mayer didn't even hear the song until the better part of a year after they broke up, since they broke up in February 2010 and Speak Now didn't come out until October 2010.

We are Never Ever Getting Back Together -- Literally her just being a BITCH about the guy.

Lol, there isn't even any valid criticism here. This is just you stating an opinion you have based on your feelings.

Better Than Revenge -- Pretty much slut-shaming the new girlfriend of her ex while bitching about her ex.

Yeah, this song is not very nice. This was Taylor's "mean girl" song for sure. But seriously, I didn't become a feminist until I was twenty-one; I don't even want to think about what sort of slut-shamey things I might have said in high school, simply because I didn't realize how messed up and backwards they were. And I say that as someone who was almost never consciously mean to other kids. If Taylor Swift comes out with another song that echoes those sentiments now, I'll be a much harsher critic, but until then...meh, people grown and change and learn - teenagers especially.

making sure to identify things about the guy in a song.

The only songs that come to mind where she's actively hinted at the identity of who they're about are Dear John, Should've Said No, and Style. Of the two, Style is a fairly flattering depiction of both the person and the relationship, and given the shit John Mayer has said about his exes in the press, frankly, he probably deserved to have that song floating around out there. In the case of Should've Said No, the dude cheated, and it's a song about a guy cheating. Nothing wrong with that.

In the other cases where we feel like we know who a song's about, it's a case of Paps and Press putting Taylor Swift's life under a magnifying glass and thus giving the thirsty-for-gossip public every opportunity to make connections they would never be able to make if Taylor were afforded the modicum of privacy that any person rightfully deserves.

I love you. I should have gone into detail on the songs, but I was busy listing random T-Swift songs and now I've missed my chance. These are all really good points.

Thank you! And I thought your comment was great!

It's really nice to hear from another person who likes Taylor Swift and her music but isn't a fanatical teenager who worships her unconditionally. In offline life I know a few people who like her/her music, but on the internet the prevailing narrative seems to be that she's a phony, bitchy, narcissistic, needy, calculating sociopath...or something?

It's the weirdest thing. It's like that blue and black versus white and gold dress situation, except with a person instead of a dress.

Yeah, there's a lot of intense judgement going around about Taylor considering we don't actually know a whole lot about her personal life. Haters gonna hate.

Completely random, but I kinda like "We are Never Ever Getting Back Together". I don't care who it's about, it's just kind of a fun song in terms of how it's crafted (I think it could fit nicely alongside Kelly Clarkson's "Since You've Been Gone" for a "kiss off" playlist). And the video was weird and funny as well :D.

I like it too. Also, I can personally attest to it being a fun song to do for karaoke. :D
