Taylor Swift? No thank you.

I never understood why all the girls seemed to love Taylor Swift in high school. There was always something about her I didn't really like. I've seen on the internet I'm not alone. 

Reasons why I don't like Taylor Swift (not that it matters. she still makes a crap ton of money.):

• "Swift employs slut-shaming in a great deal of her songs. "
• "she embodies the virginal best friend who suddenly takes off her glasses and attracts the love of her male best friend who finds it acceptable to just dump his current girlfriend in the middle of prom. "
• "She cannot sing live."
• " Everything is about princesses and crying in the rain and boys"

Seriously, these things are not good for adult relationships. Let's not challenge the stereotypes at all. In fact, let's reinforce them and then present all of this to children because it's "innocent."

Gag. 

"Hey whatcha doing with a girl like that?" Um whatever the hell he wants because he gets to decide who he dates and you have no right to judge his choices solely because it conflicts with your personal desires. That's plain ol' selfish. The other girl's feelings aren't even considered. She's practically dehumanized by Swift because she wears short skirts (Probably because she's cheer captain. Have you see those uniforms?) and high heels. 

Yes. It's just a song. Little girls look up to this though. Stealing boyfriends isn't okay. That's awesome that her song has values that our society deems as praiseworthy, but the people that don't fully believe in such shouldn't be victimized. 

Lastly, why does everything have to be about boys. THERE ARE OTHER THINGS IN LIFE WORTHY OF SINGING ABOUT.
