    Just in case you try to wiggle out of this. Just twisting the knife a little. LOL


    "Taylor Swift, surprisingly, falls into almost the same category in that 59% of her fans are female and about a third of them are also over the age of 50."

    Think this was a hidden message from Kellyanne Conway to Trump to stop tweeting? - lol

    https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-brie...esponds-to-taylor-swift-criticism-by-invoking

    "I actually like the new Taylor Swift song. It's called 'You Need To Calm Down.' I can sing it for you, you know, where she says, 'If you say it on the street that's a knockout. If you put it in a tweet that's a cop-out,'" Conway said on Fox News, invoking some of the lyrics from the song.

    Kellyanne seems to confirm your over 50 remark

    she actually sang this portion on fox news

    'If you say it on the street that's a knockout. If you put it in a tweet that's a cop-out,'"

    She is what we used to call in the 1970’s an “airhead”.

    You have to know that Kellyanne and George sit at home at night making fun of trump's pathological narcissism.
    She's probably sticking around so that they can gather more scuttlebutt for a tell-all book after the show is over.
    They'll be raking in the dough.

    Wow...I know of not one single person over 50 who listens to Taylor Swift. I have lived in two different states in the past 10 years...young woman listen to her, not woman in their 50s. She was the opening act at a concert I went to several years ago. She spent the entire night flipping her hair....kid you not. I lost count at 58 flips. Thank god she got off the stage and the real artist finally made an appearance.

    I know the OP seems to dislike listening to contrary opinions, but there it is: this country is a democracy with free speech.

    The careers of the Dixie Chicks and Oprah survived just fine, and somehow Ted "Crazy" Nuget has as well.

    Not so sure about the Dixie Chicks. They were in their prime, and it disappeared rather quickly.

    Yeah those are the Dixie chicks I am talking about. They are releasing a new album, the first one in over 13 years. Seems they hit the wall rather quickly. I actually was a big fan, and then they just disappeared. I actually followed the careers of Martie and Emily Erwin. Its really too bad, as it appears Natalie was a huge part of their downfall.

    What’s funnier is no one has said she shouldn’t speaK. Please quote some important conservatives that claim Liberals shouldn’t be allowed to speak.

    On the other hand conservatives aren’t allowed to speak on college campuses without violence breaking out. Good luck talking at Google without being fired. Any major tech company really. Criticize a black Democrat and you’re a racist. Should I go on?

    Most conservatives want Progressives to talk and a lot!!! The more they speak the dumber they sound. ;)

    Swift has more talent than the Dixie Chicks

    So while her personal life seems to be a mess nothing she does or says can end her music career

    The Dixie Chicks had less going for them

    Is her personal life really such a mess? Sure, the media writes a lot about her love life, dates and breakups, but that kind of gossip is just grotesque and slanderous. Most women of her generation do date a lot and are not married at 30. I too think it is sad, but it is not as if this cultural shift is to be blamed on Taylor Swift and why should anyone even care about her personal life anyways?

    I think it seems she herself is not bothered by the criticisms and gossip and that is why I do not think her personal life is a mess - She seems to be in full control.

    Leave Taytay alone. :D

    .

    So just to recap and update -

    The OP feels that Swift has destroyed her career by bad-mouthing Trump.

    The latest news is that Swift's new album - one released AFTER she started badmouthing Trump - has set personal records
    for most sales and is on track to become her most downloaded album ever. She also now owns ALL rights to the songs (which she didn't in the past)
    on this album, which means her profit margins will be higher than any previous album.

    So OP. You can stop worrying that Swift has damaged her career, and this thread, like so many others started by the OP, has ended in a complete bust. It's what happens when people use right-wing blogs as information sources.
