Well, Bey has spoken about racism and attended the Trayvon Martin tribute she actually talks about deep issues within feminism (not 'this is why we need feminism in 2015') such as body image and her essay which you can find in a quick google search.
I'm not saying Taylor has to speak about these issues. I'm not saying she has to solve them either, where you getting this from?
She can do what she wants, it's just my opinion. I have more respect for celebrities who use their level of fame to raise awareness.

Not yet.
But can see it happening soon.

There's nothing wrong with what B'Day suggested, you're entitled to care about making money. What's wrong is to parade about it in a way that suggests otherwise, though I'm undecided if she does this or not.

Yeah, I agree. Bey has done more for feminism than Taylor has. But it was the GP *cough tumblr* who chose Tay as a feminist icon and threw these crazy ass expectations on her. You will actually find that most women of colour get their feminist activism discredited or just flat out igorned, sadly.

Taylor still does more than most pop stars and speaks out on these issues, even more than my own fave.

Just see it in the big picture and ask yourselves WHY is everyone suddenly turning on her? It's much more deeply rooted and has the blueprint for most pop girl eras which come to a crash, ending with the GP & media turning on their once beloved sweetheart.

Atrl said this back in 2010 FFS. Some people never learn.

Taylor is bigger than ever and she is only 25. She is only showing signs of growth in pretty much every market. She won't be going anywhere.

They'll be making this thread again in 2020.

Well, as long as you are using Science! lol

Yes. I love Taylor but sometimes I find myself getting annoyed by her.

it's true though

A little bit but this Apple thing is the first negative thing she has seen with her popularity. I don't think she's becoming over-exposed to the point where people will completely hate on her. No one becomes super popular without a lot of criticism following behind.

Yes. Have fun while the GP isn't annoyed by you.

She's has huge exposure currently but I think she will have a break before LP6 so it will be fine. Most of her press has been positive

As for the social issues debate, she frequently talks about Feminism and tweeted about Charleston yesterday

I refuse to believe this is true.

Yes, but people are consuming the news.
I don't know if you guys use Feedly (the RSS reader), but I follow some tecnology blogs on it and everytime there are news Taylor Swift related, they end up being some of the most read.
It's not like she's being thrown on everyone's face without them wanting.

nope.. she gets bigger every era
her next will top 1.5 million first week

Lol stop... I'm a feminist but this is bs. The last big male popstar was Justin Timberlake and he was close to being overexposed as well. That was the reason why he hadn't been credited as a feature in BEP's Where Is The Love? when you can clearly hear his vocals in the chorus.

She can handle it. y'all just look out for your faves.

Thank you
Love your posts usuallt.

I see your point, I understand.

i dont think so, she's just VERY smart
