I seriously thought you were satirically fabricating that quote. Holy crap.

With "Honey" as the lowliest Showgirl song on the Hot 100, I feel like I need to make ANOTHER video explaining why it's actually the best song on the album.

Honey Bees unite! Honey is the best song on the new album. Sorry. #taylorswift #swifttok #swifties #tloasg #greenscreen

“The Life of a Showgirl,” has sold 4 million units in the United States! This is the biggest debut in chart history!

The album cover for "The life of a Showgirl". Taylor Swift is lying in water wearing a showgirl inspired outfit. The album name is written in text with a glittery orange texture.

Wrote about Swifties' disillusionment with Taylor Swift's inability to read the room on "The Life of a Showgirl."

“I don’t expect celebrities to be political or foreign policy experts, but the past few months have felt like her only concern is selling us a plethora of vinyl variants," one fan said

Is Taylor Swift's New Album Bad Enough To Trigger Class Consciousness?

"The world is burning down, but your new album’s out and you won’t let us forget that there’s a new limited edition at Target."

That's great! What area of linguistics? I have a slight familiarity with conversation analysis (my second book touched on it).

I get that everyone thinks it's a funny little joke when Trump says nonsense about "trangender for everybody" (because really, wtf does that even mean?), but I gotta say that as a trans person, I find it absolutely fucking insane that he's constantly obsessing over trans people existing. It sucks.

Trump: "If we didn't win this election. If we had these people that were running that were ruining our country, destroying our country with their open borders and men playing in women's sports and transgender from everybody and windmills all over the place ... I'm not sure we'd even have a country."

Taylor wore a vintage University of Kansas sweatshirt in an Instagram reel a couple of years ago. The university bookstore reissued it that week and -- not surprisingly -- could barely keep it in stock.
