I mean, I don't like the implication that her life is better just because she's with a guy, and the line about him reminding her of a brother is a BAD, BAD sign, but instrumentation wise it sounds the best and is the most pleasant to me. But I guess we both look for different things, lol.

Taoboi been liking the songs and you've been hating nonstop and now you finally like one and Taoboi's like "meh"??? Too funny for words!

 

I'm not listening to the new one. At this rate, there will be hardly any new songs left.  I'll just wait for the album in 5 days.

Okay, I'm about to have my ass handed to me, but here it goes:

 

I'm on the side of the ACLU here. What Meghan wrote may have been somewhat over the top, but there are plenty of legitimate news outlets who have reported on this before, and yet Taylor chooses to go after what is essentially a no name blogger instead? Not to mention that she STILL hasn't denounced those in the white supermacy/neo-Nazi movement who hold her up as their Aryan Goddess? WTF, woman? Whenever anyone says "but no other pop star is asked about this"--NO DUH, THEY'RE NOT THE ONES BEING TARGETED AS AN ARYAN GODDESS ONLY TO COMPLETELY IGNORE IT!)

 

She is punching down here. Even if the argument exists that she could have maybe sued for libel, focusing on this woman when next to NOBODY had read this piece before now just blew up in her face, because now this is leading into her album release on Friday. What a mess. 

 

(And for the record: the ACLU only got involved after the blogger in question consulted THEM, so seeing some of her crazier fans on Twitter going after them--ugh.)

And for the record, I know there are a lot of great people here who really like her and her music. I love all of you. But sometimes, as one of the only women who regularly posts on this thread, I worry about being mansplained when it comes to certain things about her and her problematic nature. And while this particular situation doesn't have as much to with anything women-specific as some of her other controversies have, at the end of the day, her core audience is still young women, and since I'm her age, it's something I'm sensitive to. I apologize in advance.

Yeah, she's doing okay, but it could've been so much better.  She's done zero promotion this era, in terms of doing interviews (radio, TV, print) and performing.  Nothing.  For 1989, she was doing A TON - she went to Australia, Japan, England, Canada. She was everywhere.  Also, the release of RFI a week after LWYMMD was released made no sense.  If she had waited and dropped the single along with the video at the same time, it would've gone to #1.   "There will be no further explanation, there will just be reputation."  Umm.....I guess she's really doing that.  She's said in the past (I wish I could find the quote) that she'll know when to take a step back.  I wonder if this is the beginning of that.  She's in her late 20's now, and maybe she and Joe are getting serious, and maybe she's thinking about making a family now. 

 

 

Call It What You Want: Love the song! I admit I didn't love it right away but after listening to it 10+ plus times, I started to get into it a bit, and now at over 50+ listens, I love it.  LOL   It's a happy love song and I hope there are more of these type of songs.    "They took the crown, but it's alright," "Nobody's heard from me for months / I'm doing better than I ever was."   I think those lyrics play into what I was thinking, re: stepping away. 

 

 

About the lawsuit, I'm a bit on the fence about this.  On one hand, I didn't think it was necessary for her and her team to file the C&D letter because now it just brings more attention to the blog.  By doing that, it's now mainstream.  But, if she did speak out and say something, that also would've brought attention.  I just hate it when people want to force someone to speak up/out about something.  I kind of admire her for not bowing down to pressure.    I know the ACLU does a lot of good things, but they don't always choose the right cases to take up.  Like during Charlotesville, an ACLU board member quit because the they took up a case where they defended the free speech of the white-supremacist rally organizer. They also sided with the NRA on repealing gun restrictions that "discriminate" people with mental illness.  Sometimes I just roll my eyes at who they choose to defend.  And now they're using resources, that could be used elsewhere, on a blogger who's in a legal fight with Taylor's team?  Come on. 

 

 

Anyway........THREE MORE DAYS!!!

      GH: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By janea4old · Posted

      I've been pondering how strange it is that in real life NLG was being more supportive of Haley Pullos than I would have been ....  and now Alexis is doing that for Kristina.

      GH: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      Natalia worrying about her dress getting dirty during her DUI arrest had to be a reference to Haley Pullos and the $400 shirt.   The birth scene was really good. It could have been OTT but wasn't. There was this great moment was Michael was talking about how he's seen every sonogram and been with her all the way where it registered with Willow that he's been extremely involved with this and she had no idea but then couldn't say anything because she's obviously cheating too. And then they acknowledged each other and he actually thanked her. It was very humanizing for both characters.

      This show treats Claire like a glorified extra prop not the granddaughter of the 2 biggest supercouples this show has ever had. I don't think was ever invested in Claire nor writing for her & her connections to majority of the town. What a waste of a legacy character with so much potential

      Kim Zimmer could have had a nice career as a supporting actress in Hollywood, but that does not appear to be what she wanted. That's fine, but in the eighties, she was not going to have many options as a leading actress. The eighties were brutal for a performer like her.  Her one big film role lasted a minute or two. Even while she was on GL, she should have been doing episodic television. Was her agent that incompetent or was she just bad at auditioning? Her episode of "Designing Women" was quite popular and was discussed at the time for its subject matter, but she never followed up on it. It's bizarre to me.

      Billy just showed up for Vanessa's memorial (Sept 9, '96), which is so nice!  My first time seeing him like this outside of random clips from the past. He's out of jail for 24 hours, so not long. It's good to see him with the family.

      Definitely was more recent than not; when the set originally returned, the change hadn't happened.

      It was nice seeing Victorias house and I see it’s been remodelled. I’m sure this happened awhile ago but since I tuned out from the show for so long I am only noticing it now. Looks beautiful though!  Also, Billy and Sally gross me out so much. I don’t know what it is I hate so much about them. They give me the ick. Definitely a mismatch. I don’t buy that these people would be attracted to eachother in real life much less have a relationship..

      Also, isn’t there supposed to be a storyline with Mariah and Tessa? Mariah cheating or something (keeping some kind of secret) and they were only on screen 2 and 3 times this month. Like what? How am I supposed to care when I barely see them?

      Definitely wouldn't trust Dinah right now haha.  But that's great to know Billy comes back soon!  I'm excited for that. If he's at the boardinghouse, then I guess he does get closer to Nola perhaps, and then he'll be around Peter/Bridget and J, who is currently in his orbit along with Michelle and Dahlia, and Marcus is at the boardinghouse, so maybe they go the teenage story route most of this time until Billy gets back.
