How do you know, @Toups?  You say you've followed her career and life very closely, but is that the same as knowing her?  For all you know, Taylor Swift could be playing her fans for chumps.  She wouldn't be the first celebrity in any field who's one way with their public and the total opposite in private.

Furthermore, @Soapsuds might have been wrong to call her a b_tch, and Travis Kelce's mom "ugly" and "fat," but I've seen people who aren't Taylor Swift or Travis Kelce's mom get called far worse on this board.  Hell, I've done my share of the calling!  But I really don't understand why you're taking it so personally in this instance.

You're right, there's always a chance of a celeb being not who they are in public.  I'm just telling you from what I've seen, from following her closely, and seeing things that aren't reported by the media, I believe she's inherently a good person.  And of course that's not to say she won't make mistakes or say something stupid in the future. 

I think it's fair for to be call out Ron with what he said.

I had stopped watching this endless storyline of Eric dying and constantly coughing up blood, but I am really pissed now.  They have spent weeks showing us his suffering and trying to finish his FINAL collection and now Finn is simply going to Google to find a cure while the "expert in his field" didn't have a clue?  This show doesn't deserve to be on anybody's television set.

When I saw Finn "working hard" looking at those papers, my reaction was, "Are you kidding me???  Finn is going to save Eric??"  What kind of a doctor is Finn exactly?  LOL.  I have no real opinion of Eric, but after what's happened with the showdown, and everything leading up to the party, Eric has to die....right?  I really thought this was going to be John McCook's sendoff and having Eric's last scenes be with Stephanie in heaven.   But I guess not?  That's very disappointing.

Truthfully, if white America hadn't felt the need to prop her up after that black boogeyman, Kanye West, had the audacity to go on stage and say Beyonce was robbed of that stupid award, Taylor Swift would not be where she is at this moment

So you're saying if that award moment never happens, Taylor doesn't become the superstar that she is right now?  To take away this women's success like that is pretty unfair.  At that moment, in September 2009, she was already a big star in country music, winning a lot of awards.  Yes, that incident did get more people, the general public, to notice her, but you need more than just going viral to sustain the amount of success, at super high level, for so long. 

She became one of the most successful musicians in history because of her talent; her work ethic; her discipline; having great family who supports her (a big reason why she has a good head on her shoulders and never went off the rails like many artists who had success at a young age); her strive to always wanting to improve; she listens to people and is always keen on getting advice from those who came before her; her ability to connect to people at such a deep level; her appreciation of her fans; the way she was able to cultivate an fanbase at the beginning of her career was masterful and she continues to find new ways to bring in new fans and to show appreciation to those fans old and new.   I think this last point, and her work ethic, is what sets her apart from everyone else.  I don't think there's any artists that appreciates and love their fans more than Taylor.   And that's how she was able to hit a peak in year 17 of her career and at the old age (in music industry standards) of 33.

Its not even worth it for an overhyped singer who isn't that good.

Once again, you've greatly contributed to this thread.  Looking forward to your same comments in a year or two. 

That's great if you don't like her music.  I don't expect everyone to.  People have different taste.  But to call her a bitch?  Come on man.   And of course I'm going to respond to you calling Travis' mother fat and ugly.  What the hell is that?  What has she done to deserve that?   You don't like Taylor's music?  Fine.  But there's no need to tear her down by calling her a name.  You don't like Travis?  Fine.  But you don't need to tear his mother down by calling her names.

Taylor is reaching a level where she might be overexposed if she continues at this pace. 2023 was a banner year for her, but she’ll need to slow down and give the general audience a chance to actually miss her at some point. 

September/October was crazy with her colliding with the NFL.  She's not going to get that amount of scrutiny for a while.....unless the Chiefs make it to the Superbowl and she travels to the game after her concert in Japan.  There might be a resurgence of her being in the spotlight for a day or two.   In 2024, she's going on tour internationally and will be out of the US for the majority of the year.  It won't be until the next new, non rerecord, album where the spotlight will be at a very high level. 

The romance with Kelce has been "approved" by the general audience and the fanbase, so that's not going to have a negative impact on her career.

His comments about cheerleaders and dating fat females did him no favors. Has he seen his ugly fat mom? Just sayin....

 

He was in his early 20's (obviously they were dumb comments, but people can mature and learn).  You're in, what, your 40's/50's?  And you're calling someone ugly and fat, while disapproving what he said?   Okay.  No self-awareness there at all, man. 

"It’s hard to see history when you’re in the middle of it, harder still to distinguish Swift’s impact on the culture from her celebrity, which emits so much light it can be blinding." - From the Time Magazine article. 

We have not seen this kind of year in decades, and probably never will again, and that is a big reason why Time Magazine chose her.  In 20 years, she's going to have accomplished a lot more and broken more records.  

And to call her a bitch?  What for?  I've followed her career and life for a long time, and very closely.  She is far from a bitch.  Has she done things maybe she shouldn't have done?  Sure.  Everyone has.  But inherently, she's good person.   If you don't like her music, you don't have to be nasty about it. 

Taylor caps off her biggest year ever, and of the biggest in music history, with being chosen as Time Magazine's Person Of The Year.  It's the first time someone has been chosen for "achievement in the arts"/doing their job as an entertainer and it wasn't for something else (like when Bono was chosen along with Bill and Melinda Gates in 2005 for their philanthropy).  For me, this just adds to my reasoning that she's in the same category as The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Elvis and Madonna.   2023 solidified her with those music acts.  Time Magazine agrees with me: "Swift’s accomplishments as an artist—culturally, critically, and commercially—are so legion that to recount them seems almost beside the point. As a pop star, she sits in rarefied company, alongside Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and Madonna."   

The funny thing thing is, her tour isn't even half way done, and she still has two more re-records left.  2024 is going to be another huge year for Taylor and her fans. I'm going to be seeing her twice in Europe.  I can't wait!

In the Canadian episode of YR. Brent Boyd was listed in the co Head Writer spot instead of Amanda Beall who's still a producer.

He's the Script Editor so he was able to edit these strike scripts.  Which means script writers and breakdown writers should be appearing soon. 

Another great casting choice.

Come on, guys, please use spoiler tags when replying to spoilers/rumours.

Looks like DAYS made some changes before the strike happened. Interesting.

Passions wins for this one I think. 

Loved how you didn't name one specific storyline - just the entire show.  LOL

3rd time in her career that Taylor has replaced herself at #1 - the second time was last week. 

"The Beatles return with “Now and Then,” their landmark 35th top 10 – extending their record for the most among groups – and their first since 1996. "

B&B:

- Bradley Bell returns as Head Writer on November 8
