Kay…honey, sweetie…dear…I’m sorry, but Morgan Wallen is never going to date you, no matter how often you rail against Taylor Swift. I'm sure there are lots of nice guys out there who would like you, but yelling about Lizard People just makes you look weird.

"Smythe continues:" is the scariest two word horror story I've ever read.

Taylor Swift will never know, or care, who Kay Smythe from the Daily Caller is, or whether or not she lives or dies.

I'd argue that TayTay is very much the type to care if random people live or die, but I accept the point you are making

“…2024 will be the full payoff!”

What, the ever-lovin’ fuck, could anyone give Taylor Swift for a payoff that she couldn’t get for herself? Spain?

Nah, she could probably afford Spain, maybe not Italy…

I’m not a Swifty, at all. But even I know the Eras Tour is an event nearly everyone, everywhere, has wanted to attend. Easily the biggest tour in ages. People sing, dance and are all happy and coexisting in one place for 3 hours, all over the world.

Is it finally proof that I’m a good person that I’ve never heard the name “Morgan Wallen?” I haven’t read that name, I only listen to oldies radio and I don’t have network tv, I only stream movies. Who is Morgan Wallen? I only know who Jason Aldean is because of the Vegas shooting and his anthem to small town bigotry.

I'm so out of it about red-state culture that I had never heard of Dale Earnhardt until he died, and he genuinely was super-famous. A co-worker said "Did you hear? Dale Earnhardt died!" and of course the only possible response was "Oh, that's too bad," and then I frantically Googled the name.

Being unexposed to red state culture is a very good thing.

Like almost every other person on the planet, I've heard of Taylor Swift, but what on earth is a 'Morgan Wallen'? Is it an American thing? Nobody else I've shared this with in my small Canadian town knows either.

My reaction was "who?" as well but to be fair I don't listen to the radio at this point.

I do listen to the radio (country radio even), and I had no idea who he was. I looked through his discography and the only single I even remotely know is one that he did with Florida Georgia Line.

I have to roll my eyes when Laura whines about children going hungry. What has she done to help the cause? I read an article a couple of days ago about Taylor donating to food banks across the country from her Eras tour. None of the food banks will say exactly how much she donated but while reading what they did say, she has donated enough money to feed over 1 million people this year. What is even more interesting is this story was written by Relevant magazine. I had never heard of it but looked it up and it is a Christian online web site. They are just angry because Taylor encouraged her fans to register to vote and over 35,000 did. Young people will not vote for their orange savior so they are trying to obstruct young people from voting.

It’s absurd. It’s another extension of their ongoing willful ignorance.

Wow, they really can't stand it when any woman isn't chained to the stove, can they?

"She doesn't care if anyone else suffers under inflation and can't feed their kids"

After at least 8 years of the right whining daily about "lazy takers" who just want everything handed to them, and "burger flippers" who are too lazy to get a better paying job, we're supposed to believe that all of a sudden NOW they give a shit about people not being able to feed their kids?

They could, uh, restore the child tax credit.

"Taylor Swift lives in a mansion and flies around on a private jet."

How DARE this person speak a bad word about our beloved billionaire overlords, who are jerb creators and, let's face it, just plain better than us. It's like Laura Loomer never even HEARD of bootstraps!

Go listen to a Morgan Wallen song, and then go listen to a Taylor Swift song to stop your poor ears from bleeding.

Or just listen to the Taylor Swift song and save yourself from the banjo-twang vocal trauma that is country pop.

I'm in NC, I know about these things. I have two pairs of headphones at work (engineering shop), because the consequences of misplacing a pair and not being able to drown out Morgan Wallen are too scary to think about.

I worked for years in a light industrial shop, surrounded by rednecks who all seemed to be cousins of each other. High up on a shelf in the main room was a radio plastered with KKK stickers and perpetually tuned to a country music station and LOUD. It was a relief to go to the back room to use the bandsaw, or to go over to the power shear and use that, to block the whining noise from the radio with the honest noise of metal being cut. To this day, the sound of George Jones' drunken hick voice affects me like the sound of a vacuum cleaner affects a cat.

Love how she insists this guy is somehow independent of the "corporate mainstream music industry", being that he and TS are signed to the same label.

Expand full comment

Just to piss off MAGAts, TS is only about halfway thru the Eras Tour.

After the US, she played Mexico and South America.

In Feb, she starts concerts in Japan, Indonesia, and Australia.

In May, starts in Europe, goes everywhere, 7 in Germany (You vill dance, you vill sing, you vill. Yah!)

then back to Canada for like 6 more.

So I guess the Master Plan is to have all the girls and women in the world vote for Democrats.

This, I can live with.

Who is Morgan Wallen?

I googled him. He sings. Wears a trucker hat, backwards. Said the n-word for TMZ.
