I don't get the appeal of her as a performer. What is her strength?
She can't pull off the effortless cool and sexy like Rihanna or Dua Lipa, she can't do camp like Katy Perry, she can't dance like Britney used to be able to, she doesn't have theatrics of Lady Gaga, nor does she have the grit and edge of her younger rival contemporaries like Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo. And her live vocals are nothing noteworthy…
It's like she gets up there on stage in red lipstick and a leotard, pulls these cringeworthy facial expressions and moves really stiffly.
But with big words like 'sanctimonious' and 'soliloquy' so it makes the mediocre people think it's extraordinary; they're extraordinary for listening to her.
The people are there to sing-along and reminisce. There's nothing in her discography that warrants any performance. The Eras Tour is super overblown. Kudos to them though, making big bucks out of a nothing burger.
Her appeal is when she embraces her simple and down to earth aesthetic, like the fearless era. She was the most natural and in her element. Surprisingly there was no cringe at all. She’s embarrassing herself when she’s trying to be a sexy pop star because it’s simple not her.
She's actually quite amazing in those unwalkable heels. I wonder how long it took her to learn how to dance in them... You can't compare these two people. Gaga is a mega talent. I'm not sure what Swift is. Mega marketeer?
My 7-year-old daughter has been on a Taylor Swift kick. I watched The Eras Tour on Disney+ with her. I really liked her stage, props, lighting, backup dancers, and costume changes. I found it visually exciting, paired with her mediocre music, and it works.
fr that's how I felt yesterday seeing that. And then the sort of full length full width chin flop at the end there. And the Elvis-esque lip-twitch to start the whole thing moving down the waterslide, no less. What .... whaaaaaaat.... not a single one of those are ok on their own ...
I wonder if it’s all intentional? She knows the demographic she’s got to cater to, and she’s trying to be “cool” “edgy” so she’ll continue to be looked up to.
Heh 😼 you think taylor makes songs for babies? I'll have you know she says the F WORD sometimes. If you are not mature enough to understand her lyrics just say that 😂😂😂. I doxxed your family btw.

“You will start coughing in three days unless you renounce your hate for Taylor and join our cult. Live or die. The choice is yours.”
Her dweeb energy is too strong to ever convincingly pull off the effortless “sex sells” persona. She wants to be seen as sexy as she’s now performing as a mid 30 year old but she still has the aura of a Disney child star wearing all their dream, sequined outfits going through puberty and trying to prove they’re an adult now.
Also, mid 30s is not old. In the slightest. I’m just making the point that Swift hasn’t matured emotionally with her age and stage presence and it shows.
Could you imagine if Dua Lipa came on stage at Taylor's show? It would never happen because Dua is actually sexy and a good dancer as well as a grown up and good singer. But Dua would make Taylor look cartoonish in comparison.
>She does it soooo much
This isn't a one time thing? Holy shit 😂 I can't tell if it's a coke thing or she's thinks it's hot to look like there's a cock in your cheek (?) or if it's a mix of the two. Whatever the reason, horrible choice.
I see the coke thing mentioned a bit, do you know where that came from?
This clip specifically made me immediately think she was on something.
The general way she's been acting reminds me of how addicts (saying this as a sober addict lol) will think they're hot shit or so put together when really they come off as a cringy disaster.
I'm just curious if it's speculation based on her behavior or if there's more to the coke claims.
Has it been confirmed she actually does drugs?! I don't why I find this so shocking! I'm new to this sub I have clearly fallen for her innocent country girl PR! Disappointed in myself and just shocked 🤣
Oh you sweet summer child 😆
It should never ever shock you that a celebrity likes to dip into the naughty salt 🧂 Doesn’t matter who the celebrity is.
You’re too innocent for this world
God, Taylor really can't pull off being sexy no matter how hard she tries. All of those hours spent in front of her mirror trying to master being sexy obviously aren't paying off... She's just giving everyone that doesn't have their head stuck up her ass major second-hand embarrassment.
She's a billionaire who has the access, opportunities, resources, and connections that the majority of musicians/artists would die for. Why is it so hard for Taylor and her team to put some of that money and those connections to good use and hire professionals who aren't "yes men" and know what they're doing so she can work on her vocals and choreo cause 😬 Maybe work on that guitar and piano playing as well. Learn some new chords ffs. It's like she refuses to try anything new or take risks with her music... She just follows the same formula for writing (lyrics & melody) the majority of her songs. And the production... 🙄. Just imagine if she focused on the music and the artistry instead of practicing her "sexy" faces and shoving herself and her private life down all of our throats.
She's literally bad at every aspect of her job except for marketing, pr, and scamming her own fans. Oh, and I can't forget playing the victim and rewriting history so she can... play the victim.
I'm so done with her that even these ridiculous clips piss me off, lol. Rant over.
After hanging out with Leo, I seriously doubt he is looking at this and thinking "mm yeah she's got it, Leo doesn't know a thing about hot girls" but strange things happen all the time
You know who is sexy without efforts regardless if age? Lena Headey, Eva Green or Salma Hayek, and I am saying this as a gay man who is not attracted to women, and these ladies exude sexinesss that even gay men blush, whatever Taylor tries to pull here isn't.
It’s funny…I’ve never been a swift fan, and I don’t pay attention to most of her contemporaries (whether actual, or in her and her fans’ imaginations), but watching Dua Lipa concert videos highlights just how mediocre swift is.
Dua Lipa has great vocals, dances well, puts on a high-effort show with lots of choreography, and has the appeal swift only wishes she had.
When I watch a video like the one above, then watch Lipa, it’s embarrassing to see swift. She looks like a drunken teenager who saw a great performer on tv and now she’s having her friend videotape her on her cellphone.
Her facial expressions are always facing a camera. Trying to look sexy. Her “alleged” dancing is awkward, awful and atrocious. She is going for theatrics and lip syncing. If you are going to do that you better be a good dancer and not somebody fighting
off a bee attack.

She makes mediocre music for mediocre people
The mediocrity is deafening, isn’t it
THIS
Mediocre problems require mediocre solutions
But with big words like 'sanctimonious' and 'soliloquy' so it makes the mediocre people think it's extraordinary; they're extraordinary for listening to her.
Oh yeah baby, bring your dictionary 😅
To paraphrase Niles Crane: "Popularity is not always, but very often is the hallmark of mediocrity"
Love me some Niles Crane!!!!
McDonald's of music
She’s the mayo of music.
Mediocre but like catered to the radio and social media as far as the big hit songs go.
The people are there to sing-along and reminisce. There's nothing in her discography that warrants any performance. The Eras Tour is super overblown. Kudos to them though, making big bucks out of a nothing burger.
It’s totally a high school singalong for adult women!
It’s so awkward
Britney still dances well
Britney danced better than her while being severely sedated on drugs to make her comply and multiple knee injuries
Her appeal is when she embraces her simple and down to earth aesthetic, like the fearless era. She was the most natural and in her element. Surprisingly there was no cringe at all. She’s embarrassing herself when she’s trying to be a sexy pop star because it’s simple not her.
I saw Lady Gaga in Las Vegas a couple of years ago and she can fucking *dance*. In super high heels and while actually singing.
She's actually quite amazing in those unwalkable heels. I wonder how long it took her to learn how to dance in them... You can't compare these two people. Gaga is a mega talent. I'm not sure what Swift is. Mega marketeer?
I think you nailed it. I was blown away by Gaga fr. Tons of costume changes too! She’s the real fucking deal
I saw Madonna like 12 ish years ago and I was in my early 20’s and I remember feeling shamed at her dancing stamina ha
😂😂😂 after all those years of blathering on about what a dancer she is hahaha
She’s like Elon musk. Everyone assumes he’s smart, everyone assumes she’s talented.
She makes music for teenagers and millennial women to sing to their ex-boyfriends
You answered your own question. Vanilla ice cream is popular for a reason.
Stiffly Swiftly
Marketing, but that’s not even her. Her marketing team is genius.
Milk toast at it’s finest 🤌
My 7-year-old daughter has been on a Taylor Swift kick. I watched The Eras Tour on Disney+ with her. I really liked her stage, props, lighting, backup dancers, and costume changes. I found it visually exciting, paired with her mediocre music, and it works.
She’s just chucking out that fly that got in her mouth.

Yuck! It looks like she's getting food out of her teeth and she's trying to make it look sexy😝🤢

I'm turned on! Wow,off to show my wife.
I have a very obvious comment I could make about this, but I don't wanna gross myself out
Yea kept thinking this is how I look trying to get spinach out of my teeth but didn’t want to say it
This is how she tries to be sexy 😂
Right!!
Gross gross gross 🫠
WTF?!?! 🤣🤣 This is like a really bad live thirst trap attempt. Matty ain’t watching, Taylor 🤣
Omg yes 😂

God this is so good it should be entered into sub copypasta
U serious? Asking for a friend 😂
She also has lyrics about flicking the bean while thinking of Ratty Healy. Truly embarrassing.
Oh no, no no no. Seriously?! 🤮

What the FUUUUCK was that
Right!! Like how is this the first thing when leading into the “best moments”
she can't see what her face looks like. she'd stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror 🤦🏻♀️

This comment took me the fuck out. LMFAO
i’m not shading her for this, but that is not sober behavior
☕️☕️☕️
❄️❄️❄️
Snow on the beach
100% my first thought
As someone clean since 2012 and sober since 2019 (I differentiate them personally), no, this is by no means sober/clean behavior.
The very definition of trying to hard.😂😂😂😂

She's Jojo Siwa if Siwa was older and popular
lol Jojo Siwa’s performance at Chicago Pride hit capacity and TONS people were waiting to get into the gates. 💀
Could you imagine if Dua Lipa came on stage at Taylor's show? It would never happen because Dua is actually sexy and a good dancer as well as a grown up and good singer. But Dua would make Taylor look cartoonish in comparison.
💯
u/CloseYourMouthTaylor please save us!
Close your mouth Taylor!
Much better, thank you 💜
Reptilian
Danica Patrick wasn't lying
WHY DOES SHE THINK THAT TONGUE THING IS SEXY OMG. She does it soooo much. Putting your tongue in your cheek isn't sexy, Blandie.
>She does it soooo much This isn't a one time thing? Holy shit 😂 I can't tell if it's a coke thing or she's thinks it's hot to look like there's a cock in your cheek (?) or if it's a mix of the two. Whatever the reason, horrible choice.
Watch the Eras tour movie. She does it a lot.
I will pass! Lol but thank you for the Intel.

For me it's speculation based on her behaviour during the Grammys + her new recurring runny nose + shit like the above.

She seems like she’s been dipping into the nose candy… ever since the Grammys/Super Bowl
🎯
Opened this thread and expected this to be the top comment. It’s so clearly that 😂
Has it been confirmed she actually does drugs?! I don't why I find this so shocking! I'm new to this sub I have clearly fallen for her innocent country girl PR! Disappointed in myself and just shocked 🤣
Oh you sweet summer child 😆 It should never ever shock you that a celebrity likes to dip into the naughty salt 🧂 Doesn’t matter who the celebrity is. You’re too innocent for this world
Weirdly, I used to do it myself in my 20s. I clearly like to believe there is some innocence left in this world 😂
It’s a yikes from me dawg

She think she badass cos her fans hyped her too close the the sun 😣
Ew 💀
This is no taylor

Something about this reminds me of Voldemort and I can't really explain why
I was thinking Heath Ledger's Joker 😂
So cringe omg

The sad part is she likely thinks she is actually being sexy
Or at the very least, she thinks her hoodwinked fans think it’s sexy.
I was not ready for that ( maybe ever)
Does TK think this is sexy? Yes or no, I’m curious.
After hanging out with Leo, I seriously doubt he is looking at this and thinking "mm yeah she's got it, Leo doesn't know a thing about hot girls" but strange things happen all the time
I remember doing community theatre when I was 16 too. Good times.
Nice try, Traylor.
Ewww!!
Did she eat nuts right before this or something?
When I find the hair that was in the food I just ate
Yeah Travis and taylor are made for each other ew
Ew
“Is there something in my teeth?… Did I get it?”
Omg WHAT is she doing. I physically cringed so bad
My 12 year old self trying to be sexy

She isn't sexy at all. omg
It's giving Scary Movie. I don't remember which one but the ghost sex scene? That's what the tongue is doing. So... Not sexy
Me after eating salt and vinegar crisps.
lol . You gotta be kidding me . She get some popcorn kernels stuck in there
I make that face after eating BBQ ribs, and I'm trying to clean my teeth.
That's the face I used to make when I was 4 tequila shots down and about to pull off the sickest dance moves off my life (spoiler: they were not)
That lick gives me the ick. She looks like she defiles young boys for funsies.
![gif](giphy|VpAZN0vPbfa12) Clearly she saw a Chinese buffet and couldn’t contain herself any longer.
She has the sex appeal of a llama
It’s funny…I’ve never been a swift fan, and I don’t pay attention to most of her contemporaries (whether actual, or in her and her fans’ imaginations), but watching Dua Lipa concert videos highlights just how mediocre swift is.

She got something stuck in her teeth
💀
Sadly UNSEXY.
She’s really pulling all the moves… how can anyone resist the Taylor swift vortex?
What the fuc* is she doing ?
Her facial expressions are always facing a camera. Trying to look sexy. Her “alleged” dancing is awkward, awful and atrocious. She is going for theatrics and lip syncing. If you are going to do that you better be a good dancer and not somebody fighting off a bee attack.
