Well the really Kontextmaschine thing to say would be that she’s as good or better than I am at listening in on the tune America’s humming to itself and singing it back in response, she canonically browses tumblr and has long been rumored to lurk 4chan (which is not absolutely ridiculous - she’s our generation too and Lorde, who’s in her extended clique, workshopped Royals on /mu/) and God knows what else she gets up to on those days when she’s not in the mood to be a media object so she doesn’t leave her house.

That she too noticed that the worm turned somewhere in the last few months, and that she maneuvered this intentionally in full knowledge where it would go, that she knows that “a black girl tried to spin what was essentially personal jealousy as a race thing, in the process rudely rebuffing my attempts to seek unity on the grounds of Correct go-(white-)girl feminism, and then mean online media and Black Twitter picked on me over it” is actually going to be a good place to be when the backlash will be kicking in during her next album/tour cycle, that it’ll align herself with where her audience of white-girls-not-like-Coachella-white-girls-I-mean-but-not-NOT-like-Coachella-white-girls will be at by then.

(That all this is on purpose delicate and tangential enough to be disclaimable if it’s obsoleted by the next cultural turn, like how she went from doing a feather-touch War on Christmas song in 2007 to in 2014 having a throwoff line about vicariously enjoying the existence of gayness as a sign of cosmopolitanism in her growing-up-and-moving-to-the-big-city song.)

That if media try to force this meme and take on Taylor fucking Swift not only does that revalidate the picked-on pose she’s so good at but gets increasingly ridiculous as she settles in at the apex of pop culture, but it might even be the overreach that breaks the fever, like McCarthy taking on the U.S. Army, and having her name stamped on a major cultural turn (for which a nontrivial constituency will be grateful) is a good step on the way to becoming Queen of America.

Seriously, how fucking Kontextmaschine a response is that?

I don’t actually believe it though.

(Though in the course of even mooting the theory I’ve started to convince myself.)

Possibly my favorite thing about Taylor Swift is how transparently, unapologetically psyched she is about getting to use other, lesser, hot young famous things as disposable toys.

Yeh MOM??? taylorswift

Isn’t that just the normal way to hold cellular phones?
I’m very confused now. I’m going to work on my cross stitch for a while to get my mind off of it.
By the way, young lady, shouldn’t you be asleep at this hour?

Okay so maybe I see your point.
But only when I have my reading glasses on.

Taylor Swift is her audience as they see themselves, that’s her thing she’s her audience as they see themselves, and when her audience comes around to seeing themselves as fuckable office moms (and they will, and it will blindside you because you’ll expect 2020 to act like 2015 same as you expected 2015 to act like 1998) she will be the MOST fuckable office mom holy shit

ACTUAL ANGEL

dancingtotaylorsbeat: ACTUAL ANGEL That’s how the populists of the Late Roman Republic came to power, leading up to Caesar himself. Winning over the people with conspicuous displays of charity and great arena entertainments. Bread and circuses. When I say she’s going to become the Queen of America, I FUCKING MEAN IT.

Looks like someone drove a Maserati up her dead-end street.

(Sorry, that one took a while.)

aintgotnoladytronblues:

all i gotta say is, if you liked that, and you wanna write it up as “so crazy” or “so cool” or (god forbid) “so feminist” or whatever? zack snyder’s sucker punch is sitting right there, waiting for your apologies, then. 

if you don’t want to do that? then don’t do that. because do that and y’all better. you know that’s what you just watched a sequel to.
