Of course she does drama. She is excellent at drama.

The doesn't mean some of the drama is unwarranted though. And there's a lot of really nasty undercurrents in the current drama of expecting her to dim her shine for other people. Would people ask a man to do that, if he was doing the numbers she is? Did they ask Michael Jackson to back off and let someone else have a hit? Did they ask The Beatles to take a seat and let someone else win an award?

She promotes other women artists by bringing them with her on tour. She just posted on Friday that we should all be listening to Sabrina Carpenter's new album because it's great. Does she promote every woman? No. Should she have to? Also no.

IDEK. Taylor's not perfect but an awful lot of the discourse around her right now just reeks of double standards and misogyny and it's tiring.

+1. Yes, she uses and promotes drama. But also there is a ton of misogyny in the way people talk about her.

(Also, the charts are hardly relevant anymore!)

Absolutely - it's both. She does drama and also creates/projects a specific image fantastically. But people aren't out here calling out McCartney and Lennon, or Ed Sheeran, or Liam Gallagher etc etc for making drama as they make their music, or for being TOO successful.

She's obviously not perfect but so much of this criticism would NEVER be lobbed at a man, even a man claiming feminism/allyship as she does.

People called out Lennon all the time about his drama. They stopped, but the reason for that was also fairly dramatic and something that, as a Swiftie, I'm guessing you wouldn't want to see repeated.

Yes to all of this.
