Good morning! Enjoying the Taylor Swift infographic above? It comes from an in-depth essay from Autostraddle, which makes a compelling case for why the Taylor Swift Brand as an affront to feminists (and music fans) everywhere. Read it and see which side of the fence you’re on: Team Taylor, or Team Singing On Key.

VIDEO REWIND OF THE DAY: Sade’s sixth studio album, Soldier of Love, drops today, and it’s the first release from the British soul group since 2000. So what have lead singer Sade Adu and the other members of her band been up to the last decade? Our guess: rolling around in all the licensing money made from their hit song “Smooth Operator.” The minimalist video, shot on what appears to be a backlot street set, may not be very memorable, but the jazzy love song goes down as smooth as it did in 1984. Welcome back, Sade!
Have a great day, everyone!
I'm guessing Lily, Gorillaz, ect are commenting only now because her tour is about to start in the UK? They're probably now drowning in Gaga like North Americans have been
I am longing for Taylor Swift’s new album. Seems ages since her last one.
Seems like Taylor Swift’s Foxboro show was fantastic. I wish I could have been at it.
I believe some of you just really do not get Taylor, and that is fine. Not anyone is planning to adore her, just as not all people will really like or recognize Gaga or others like her. I do not think Taylor is actually the goody-two-shoes-you-have-to-be-a-virgin-till-marriage that most folks think her to be, nor is she anti-feminist. She just has writtten her existence as she knows and sees it up to this point, and millions of girls and grown women and men as well have empathized with her; they do not necessarily feel in a fairytale globe, they realize that it can be fairytales and dreams along with real existence she sings about. As for the Fifteen song; to me the meaning of that song is “girls, obtaining a hot guy in school who’s a star on the team and possessing sex thinking it is intending to last forever with that guy and being common isn’t genuinely as crucial as it feels. You’re proceeding to grow up and your dreams will expand and change, and those points aren’t planning to define your existence forever” I may well be wrong but that is what I hear when I hear the song.
Taylor Swift has had an interesting career – there’s a few contrasting discourses surrounding here celebrity. On one hand she’s this innocent, virginal girl, but on the other, the media is certainly trying to play up her relationship with Taylor Lautner et cetera. I hope she is able to cope with the pressure.
I’m with you Simone… let’s see if she can keep up appearances!
