The screams of obsessed naysayers are always gonna be louder, but in real World they really do not make much of an impact. Look at how all this Spotify thing has gotten major discussion going and mostly she is credited for starting it. There have been plenty of articles supporting her stance. So its not all hate. Lord's sales numbers and celeb support army is higher than ever, NME and AV Club coming out with think pieces like daily... So, no need for those she is a victim artcles. She is slaying left and right.  |
This article brilliantly outlines the situation of the previous few years tho, and I think its important that it was written and expressed in this way. Prior to Blank Space and 1989, even as recent as this summer, the prevailing attitude and consensus was everyyhing this article speaks against.
And its important to note as this article did that she weathered all that negativity without breaking down, and ultimately overcame most of it by her own efforts.
Also the mainstream never wanted to admit that they treated her abominably, just like in that tina and amy deal. Most wont admit or allow themselves to see that Taylor did have hardships to fight thru.
Most out there try to say shes a rich pretty white girl that never had to earn her place.
Thats why the article is important to me.
