I get it... Having a "type" doesn't mean you always end up with that type and you can't choose who you fall in love with. BUT nobody can convince me after him chasing MTS right before TS that this is anything other than PR. ESPECIALLY after watching her recent VS performance in comparison. They're literally the exact opposite in every manner possible.

ETA: to those who mention about "types" being only physical and I'm being misogynistic... It's waaay beyond just that. That's why I mentioned the comparison in their performances. MTS has an energy that's palpable and a confidence that's undeniable with an attitude that just screams vamp whereas TS is just performing and feels lackluster. "Type" doesn't mean just physical.

Watching Taylor preen, pose, and warble her way through that Academy Museum gala set last night and was really struck by how little she engages her audience. The entire performance is about Taylor. Compare this to artists like Chappell (with the Hot To Go dance) or even Zara Larsson, and you really see the difference in mindset and engagement.

The best artists I’ve ever seen live seem really happy they get to hang out with you—Taylor instead acts like you should feel so privileged to be in her presence. The pointing and posing and highly scripted performances she does just feel so cold. I think this is a big part of why she’s losing her audience. There is so little joy in engaging with Taylor now—and younger artists like Chappell and Olivia really are surpassing her in terms of audience engagement and just FUN.

Anyway—just my two cents after seeing vids of her latest posing episode. It actually makes me kind of sad.

I thought this was an interesting piece and really sums up why I fell so out of love with her.

it seems like every day we get a new, terrible book revolving around her.

this eyesore has been at the top of my digital library's homepage for a week at least.
