Taylor Swift might as well be the new Beyoncé the way that most of ATRL has turned on her, with users breaking their fingers to type 'OVERRATED', 'INTO HERSELF', 'CONCIETED', 'SELF ABSORBED', 'MANIPULATIVE' as fast as they can

is the problem actually these ladies? or the fact that while both of them were respectively dominating the music landscape, people seemed to be focused more on media projections / click bait stories that fed into their latent desires to hate these women

it's happened a bit to Rihanna as well in and out between her periods of domination, as well as a couple other pop girls like Ariana (donutgate) and...... well let's not even start on Gaga

what's the bigger issue? petty ATRL opinions or is it actually these talented women? discuss

ATRL just likes to jump on the bandwagon of hate.

What's up with your obsession to make Taylor Swift the new Beyoncé? Taylor is great at what she does, so does Beyoncé.
And this problem happened with almost all the successful pop girls, sans P!NK, Adele, Kelly Clarkson. You see the pattern?

No. Taylor deserves the backlash she is currently getting. Learn to accept the truth that your fav is a conniving bitch.

Haters gonna hate, Taylor's gonna slay.

Honestly, yes. The mess that some people come with whenever there's a thread over Bey or Taylor is ridiculous. Powerful women must scare the general public of atrl

i wonder why that is

and i wonder why some artists are able to stay relatively unscathed / unaffected even when they're experiencing chart success

taylor did once say that "people throw rocks at things that shine"

Scalp_Ha! indeed

ATRL users do a much better job of making that parallel valid than i do, i can assure u

If someone gets too successful for ATRLs taste, then they'll start hating on this artist.

Look at Beyoncé, 18 years full of success and acclaim, and she's still going strong and can compete with some of ATRLs faves.

Look at Taylor: everyone celebrated her back in 2014 when "1989" sold millions in a few months.
But now, 1 year later, the "1989" era is still very successful and that probably makes people pressed.

poor men, they have it so hard in this world

Peoplee throw rocks at things that shine

It's not being a hater. People are allowed having opinions, even if those opinions are negative. Certain people are able to see through certain pop stars. Which is why don't like them even though their fan base is crazy for them.

.

If no one had a problem with her success in the beginning doesn't that show that her success isn't the problem?

It's because singers like Taylor Swift and Beyoncé are bandwagoned so much that it takes away from their artistry, even if it's not that big to begin with. But at the same time, it takes away from actual talented artists who have less shine because people act like these singers are the new groundbreaking Jesus Christ.

they were not threatened by her success back then because she dominated one particular facet of pop music

now that she has infiltrated mainstream definitions of 'pop', they take issue with her / her image / her perceived persona

interesting point

Yes. I'd even add hot people to the list.
