No shade, but do you not realize that ethanol IMPAIRS social functioning???

Symptoms of alcohol intoxication include [...] decreased social inhibition at lower doses, with larger doses producing progressively severe impairments of [...] decision-making ability (potentially leading to violent or erratic behavior)

Maybe Taylor would have done it while sober; maybe not. But the point is that you all are holding her feet to the fire for breaking a social norm when she's drunk.
Drunk people can shout, make vulgar comments, piss in the street, etc. This kind of mental impairment is just a side effect of having alcohol in the system.
All I'm saying is cut her some slack.
