She isn't REALLY FUCKING GOOD. She's average. There are plenty of singers leagues better than her, but because she bills herself as basically a rags to riches #hardworker, the Swifties who are also largely white girls who wouldn't know hardship if it bit them in the goddamn face, or anything like... IDK, going hungry or actual hard work or whatnot, well. They eat it up. They buy her narrative of #forsmallbusinesses when she owns two personal jets and the personal carbon footprint of large corporations because how dare she fly with the peasants.

Wow, good to know that all white girls live a life of ease. Fuck's sake. Get a grip. You sound like so much sour grapes bullshite it's embarrassing.

She IS a good singer/songwriter. She's not at all bad at what she does. But because the system is so gamed in her favor, she was promoted early on at a very high level, and that did give her a leg up that other songwriters didn't get.

If she really understood what "punk" means, she'd know that it means that the artists who are most popular, and the ones who are truly the best at what they do is a Venn diagram with a little bit of overlap but not as much as people who only pay attention to big pop stars think.

Most popular has NEVER equaled "best."

You'd probably make headway with your argument if you weren't so damn abrasive about it.

It's hilarious because I mostly agree with your post (except possibly the "hard work" part... hardship is a different beast from hard work. Just because you have fewer challenges doesn't mean you aren't working hard).

But people don't enjoy seeing their favorites bashed, whether or not you have a point.

DA

I think AYRT is probably spot on that most Swifties have had to do any hard work in addition to not facing hardship. Most are white middle class women who enjoyed relatively lower debt from school loans and have well off parents to co-sign for new cars and houses. They’re not paying 70% of their low income for rent, they’re paying 20% of their above median income for their mortgage with the added security of mommy and daddy to bail them out if they ever need it. Which they typically don’t because they start out ahead.

There’s nothing wrong with that and there’s nothing wrong with Swift herself. But it’s laughable how those privileged young women revere an even more privileged woman for fighting adversity to become so successful or how she’s a rags to riches story.

I found it hilarious when, a few months back, so many people I know who go on about privilege and white feminism were treating the criticism of her, a fantastically famous and successful rich white woman, like a social justice issue. My FB feed had full-on treatises defending her, treating her like some downtrodden vicitm of pervasive discrimination, from folks who usually say we need to "de-center whiteness" and that white women need to step aside and make space for BIPOC women.
