The feud? It's nothing. When people talk about SHAKE IT OFF, so popular, they are not thinking about one thing. Many people talk about BAD BLOOD, they even do NOT know that the feud is. Only some sites or some threads make it a big deal. And we are posting at ATRL, you know. As a LEAD single, the meanings must be much broader, that's why it sales the album so well. Comparing with these meanings, this feud is NOTHING.

Thank you for reiterating what I said

KatyCats embarrassing themselves again over nothing in that thread. Just another day of them staying losing on atrl.
The meltdowns when BS overtakes Roar and DH on vevo. Not long to go now.
All we need now is that hybrid stan to come in here again and lecture us about how unreasonable we are compared to KatyCats. lmao.

I was at her concert in cologne today and everything sinked in by now.
Oh god, It was fantastic.
Her entrance was so epic, I was screaming my lungs out throughout the whole thing.
Her speeches actually moved me to tears at some point, truly the queen of empowerment. Loved that so much
Also her german is pretty well tbh  "Wundervoll" seems to be her favorite word by far. 
Highlights: Basically everything  but especially Bad Blood, We Are Never Ever and Shake It Off |
I didn't know WeFoundWill is from Germany  Glad you had fun last night. I'm still waiting for my show.
So we nearly have members from all the counties where Taylor is touring?

Oh dear, the haters gonna get even more pressed! 
Financial Times hails Taylor as a Tastemaker of 2015!
It is a very long article, it is the FT after all, but the part about Taylor is below
Quote:
Katy Perry may have 71m followers on Twitter and Justin Bieber 30m followers on Instagram but, financially speaking, they are tastemakers in music more than in style (neither has been able to launch successful clothing lines). And Tavi Gevinson may have been a tastemaker in style but her large online following didn’t help make a hit of the recent Broadway play This Is Our Youth about 1980s teenagers, in which she played a fashion student. The play garnered some positive reviews but rarely came close, week to week, to selling out.
Finding success in multiple businesses has not been a problem for Taylor Swift, my nominee for Tastemaker 2015. In some ways, her ability to sing and write music marks her as a throwback. She belongs, if not to the aristocracy of wealth, at least to the aristocracy of talent: her songwriting ability is first-rate and she has won seven Grammys. Last year I met Swift at a party and fogeyishly tried to engage her in a discussion of Puccini because I knew her grandmother was a respected though not hugely successful opera singer. “I love Puccini,” Swift said. “He was great at tunes. Like Pharrell [Williams]. And with a unique sense of rhythm — Jay Z has that in a totally other way.”
Unlike Jay Z, however, whose recently launched streaming service, Tidal, hasn’t yet gained a foothold in subscriptions despite his media profile, Swift uses democratic methods that pay off. Helped by social media, her recent album 1989 was the best-selling major-label album released in the US in 2014. Unlike Jay Z, Swift uses social media to interact very directly with her fans. But she cannot be counted a top tastemaker of our age merely because of her music sales, or because of her status as a style icon or, in contrast to the queen bee-like Beyoncé or the costume-conveying Lady Gaga, because she directly communicates with fans in Idaho or Indonesia.
In terms of 21st-century democratic tastemaking, Swift represents something else: the blurring of distinctions. We live in a world in which we can dress downscale for dinner at an upscale restaurant but still be granted admission. With 1989 Swift blatantly moved away from her country-music roots but the country world, notorious for rejecting artists who stray into a non-big-hat lifestyle, still admits her to its high-profile banquets. This is not just because she is too powerful commercially for that world to relinquish but because of her cultural clout in general. Her fans no longer allow magazine editors to tell them how short to wear their skirts or whether it’s cool to like the musical Wicked or whether they have to like the blue-chip art, or its reproductions, that their parents hang on the sitting-room walls.
They live in a world of seemingly endless possibilities. All these choices have a downside: old-school tastemakers, echoing Dostoevsky’s parable The Grand Inquisitor, might say that the lack of a sole, unquestioned authority leads to dissolution. But the culture has moved on and, for the past decade, retailers of fashion, as well as marketers of culture, have been spinning anxiously — and spending billions — trying to respond to the shift. They’re still trying.

Ironically, her words in that speech bring more memorable than any of her song lyrics!
