One of the more enjoyable read from Buzzfeed.

Quote:

In 2013 Swift was a regular fixture on “Most Hated Celebrities” lists. Then came a carefully strategised comeback in 2014 – and with it, a transformation in public opinion beyond all recognition.

Quote:

It’s unsurprising, then, that her carefully constructed apology tweet to Minaj referenced this lack of understanding. But by supporting feminism and admitting she’s still learning about intersectionality at a time when the cause has never been more prevalent in the media, Swift has ensured that she is, at the very least, positioning herself on the same side as other women, rather than against them.

Quote:

As a result, the public are buying into Swift in a way they simply didn’t before. This year she not only experienced the biggest growth out of any celebrity on Instagram (a 73% increase on last year), but also became the most followed celebrity in the world. People are reading articles about her and watching her videos in their millions, and just five months after its release, 1989 had sold 5 million copies – more than her previous album shifted in two and a half years.

Quote:

By being so open with women both online and in real life, Swift has allowed her fans and the wider public unfettered access to her personality – which is far more complex than just having an obsession with men. And while her fans have always been supportive, these days the same public who once mocked and questioned her also like what they see.

Lol I swear Taylor Nation has buzzfeed on their payroll

Taylor Swift was never ACTUALLY hated, ever. She was known as a serial dater and even then most people knew that was kind of a fantasy made up by the media....

If she was actually hated, she would've flopped like Bieber did in 2013...

Actually she was really hated in 2013 apart of directioners, alot of people **** shamed her, she was the joke in many awards didn't tina fey and amy made fun of her? without counting alot of jokes about her, and when she came back she did it with another image more calm down even tumblr loved her it wasn't until she made the mistake to confront Nicki Minaj that tumblr is against her again, because you know Nicki is the queen there.

She was number 18 on the Most Hated of 2013.

She had backlash from the Directioners for dating Harry, was ****-shamed, releasing a super pop song...

Or she cracked the mainstream pop market which naturally elevated her celebrity status? The only things I remember Taylor getting clowned for prior to 1989 were her constant discussion of ex-boyfriends in her music and her fake shocked face at award shows; she was not hated (not in any serious or consequential way).

Nightingale

She was never actually hated. Every single celebrity that is on top gets backlash. The bigger your are, the more haters you have. She was **** shamed and used as a joke but she still sold incredibly well and went on a mega successful tour.

Aside from a few thousand 9 year old girls writing mean instagram comments, she was never really hated, just made fun of a few times....

I'm a fan of Taylor btw so don't think I'm against her, but it's not like she pulled a Justin Bieber where everyone was so against her and then got everyone back on her side again like this article claims.....

Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, Kim Kardashian, and Kylie Jenner are examples of people that were actually HATED.

She was made fun of because it was easy, not because people hated her. I think more people have come to hate her now with the legal actions and the narrow brand of feminism

B'Day

Poor Taylor. She gets it so hard.
