    My daughters loooove T. Swift. So much so that I'm surprised that I hadn't really paid attention to the 'new' album until now. One of them was playing it the other day. I gotta say, there's a few good songs on there.

      How many ex boyfriends does she now hate? She seems to hate men.

      Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

She then had a baby boy two years ago. So Taylor decides to drop off a toy Mercedes. Unbelievable. How many would handle stardom the way Swift has, and do what she does. She doesn't just donate money. She does what's most important and gives of her time.
        Clicked on this thread wondering if there's any news on Taylor Swift's breasts and read this. lol. Has to be a joke, right?

          Bingo.

          I like Taylor Swift's music, but she generally seems like a psycho vindictive man-hater to me. Watching her Blank Space video didn't lead me to re-evaluate that assessment.

            I would gladly manage her bank accounts but I would never in a million years want to be her boyfriend or husband.

              lol. You will never in a billion years have a shot at being her boyfriend or husband.

                        You should probably not listen to any music based on the blues if this is your beef with Taylor.

                          This post made me lol. I guess recognizing satire isn't your strong point when it's people with views like yours that's being lampooned?

                            Hadn't seen that. The video's a bit distasteful, IMO. I'd rather the right hand not know what the left hand doeth, and this is way too "look what a good person i am." But I'm glad we have CJ to obsessively follow TS videos like this so the rest of us can find out about them!

                              That's one way to look at it, but I think the fans loved the footage- including the ones receiving the gifts. It was nice, anyway. Also, I love all the old creeps here acting like Taylor Swift's level of attractiveness is beneath them.

                                I wonder how many people that watch that video without knowing ahead of time that it is satire recognize it as satire?

                                EDIT: I also wonder how many teen/tween females, arguably the core of Taylor Swift's fan base, are sophisticated enough to recognize that it's satire?
