Aww. I'm glad it helps you feel better and stronger. You do you!

[(Anonymous)]

Yep. That's how she sells records, by convincing people (usually young women) that she's just like you... if you had rich parents who could boost your music career until you were a millionaire and could soothe your romantic heartbreak by, oh, I don't know, buying yourself another mansion, dating another famous dude, or continuing to never have a single clue about what poverty and want feels like.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, so is the fucking entirety of modern consumer culture. Stop pretending that Taylor Swift plays a uniquely villainous role here. Shit.

[(Anonymous)]

Where did I indicate she was unique in this? Just because it's a common phenomenon doesn't make it good.

[(Anonymous)]

Because, in general, people talk about her and her popularity in a way they don't talk about other people, and in particular, your comment was framed on the particular and individual level - in terms of personal choices and duplicity - not in terms of a systemic understanding.

It's not my fault you wrote a post about how she's lying.

[(Anonymous)]

It's not like she's a completely incomparable species with no option of overlap

[kallanda_lee]

To be fair, you don't know if OP is poor.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm willing to bet they've had closer brushes with it than Taylor Swift ever has or will.

[kallanda_lee]

Possibly, obviously I doubt they can buy a mansion. But, I stent a lot of my life with people better off than me, and it always seemed to me that at a certain level of "comfortable" people do seem to identify more with celebs (rather than envy them, if that makes sense).

[(Anonymous)]

Why in the world do you think rich people don't date, experience heartbreak, and get over it? What in the world does any of this have to do with poverty?

[(Anonymous)]

Hmmm, yet another comment claiming I said X whenever I never did.

[(Anonymous)]

Nayrt

Actually, you implied that her heartbreak, etc. doesn't count/is irrelevant because she's rich, ergo rich people can't feel heartbreak ever.

[(Anonymous)]

Just because she's mega rich doesn't mean that she can't know heartbreak. Studies have been done that prove that actually money doesn't buy happiness. I can't be bothered looking them up but it has been proved. So the idea of 'soothing heartbreak' with 'another mansion' is a false equivalence to being dumped. She may be a millionaire superstar but she is human. Sure, she uses it to sell music, I don't think OP is denying that. OP clearly relates to her on a human level, when it comes to finding love. I'm not a particular fan of Taylor but I can see where OP is coming from.

[arcadiaego]

The one I read said that once you get over around £40,000 p/a your happiness stops increasing with your wealth. So it certainly makes you happier about things you couldn't afford when you were poor and it's easier to deal with emotional stuff if you're not struggling, but on the other hand Swift deals with stuff I could never cope with, no matter how much money I had.

[(Anonymous)]

That said, it's a hell of a lot easier to be unhappy and rich than it is to be unhappy and poor.

[arcadiaego]

The secret literally says the OP knows they're different, and cites money and career as two of the reasons. Romantic shenanigans still suck.

[(Anonymous)]

All I got out of this is that she still has fans...

[(Anonymous)]

You know, I came to this secret ready to bitch about how boring this drama is, but honestly I'm glad this helps you feel better. Rock on, my man

[(Anonymous)]

Honey, she's not prettier than you, and I love her enough to believe she'd be the first to say it. They have to do a lot of work to make her that pretty, especially her eyes. I know, I've got the same kind of uber-hoods and they need SERIOUS work to make her not always look like she's squinting. Also the eyebrow filler is helpful, and I'm sure she has the best skin care money can buy. This truly is a regular girl with a great stylist.

[(Anonymous)]

She's reasonably pretty, but why do most professional photos of her have that weird blur/bright filter thing that makes it look like her nose is dissolving?

[(Anonymous)]

Eh, not that great of a stylist. Swift's a pretty girl, but her stark make up (super white one tone foundation, bright red lipstick, heavy mascara) makes her look 10 years older, or like a young woman who doesn't know how to do make up so she just plasters it on.

[(Anonymous)]

she's had an eyelid lift and two boob jobs but there's nothing wrong with having hooded/squinty eyes (I have them too)

her make-up is pretty minimal, don't let the eyeliner and occassional red lip fool you

[(Anonymous)]

Citation needed on the plastic surgery.

[arcadiaego]

I don't know if she's unlucky or just dating like a normal young person. But regardless, the fact she deals with all the media hate by just ignoring it is a good thing to look up to. You do you, OP. :)
