Apparently her popularity is a "sign of societal decline".

Yep, click baiters. Including The Federalist.

I don't know, Tempo, there was plenty of people bitching about them focusing on her.

Good lord that article is a tough read.

Candace Owens seems to have a problem with her too.

I’m mostly around conservative people. Haven’t heard a single person up in arms about her for any reason. But hey I’m sure it’s true because some bored “journalists” needed some clickbait to publish.

More "clickbait" from the Federalist.

No that’s actually an article from someone with some legitimate background on the topic. Not someone sifting through Twitter looking for hot takes from people who are famous for hot takes on Twitter and then attributing them to ~40% of the nation.

Three articles on Taylor Swift in a one month period.  As the old adage goes, "know your audience".

I actually remember when The Federalist Society was a serious entity. Fuck.
Mark Carman: "The Whitlock!...Caleb Williams failed Wayne Whitlock." Been told I need to take my dick out my mouth so maybe I "wont [sic] sound like such a fucking faggot all the time[.]"

Tempo: "PAMan is a pot stirrer and agent provocateur"

I've undoubtedly heard at least one of her songs, but I have no actual knowledge of any of her music. She appears to be very popular though.

Taylor Swift—for reasons I don’t fully comprehend—is the hottest phenomenon on the planet right now. Media outlets looking for an audience (ahem, clicks) would be insane not to leverage that.

That said, those articles are clickbait trash, and from what I can tell, we don’t even have a way of knowing what kind of engagement they generated.

Typical conservative mindset on display here. Deny, deny, deny, despite the mountain of overwhelming evidence.

Same.

I didn't know there were so may Swifties here. 😂
And the Chiefs come to town Sunday. Today's Star Tribune, which I subscribe to inspite of what I read here this morning, is telling me the town is abuzz over Swift possibly being at the game.

PSA: no football fan gives a rat's ass about whether or not Swift will be at the game.
