Why are Swifties tone deaf?

I used to be a Swiftie, but over time I’ve grown to dislike Taylor Swift, especially after how she portrayed Joe Alwyn following their breakup. There are several things that bother me about her: the way she brands herself as an ethical billionaire, her victim complex, her performative feminism, and the fact that many of her fans exhibit racist and sexist behavior.

I have a close friend of four years who’s a big fan of Taylor and very defensive about her. Last night, I couldn’t hold back and asked her why she liked Taylor. I also brought up questions like why Taylor blocks other artists to secure the #1 spot while complaining about being wronged by the industry, or how she thanks and supports individuals accused of rape and misogyny. Instead of engaging, my friend told me to “write a letter to her” and asked me not to bring up Taylor again.

Why are Swifties so tone-deaf when it comes to real issues? Don’t they care about taking a moral and ethical approach when viewing a celebrity?
