Alright "Swifties", don't get all upset over this article. First off, I would like to start by saying I am not going to be stooping so low as to use T-Swift's music and looks as examples for this statement. Clearly, my opinion on those two things does not reflect the greater whole (refer to all of her awards and how many hunks she has dated in the past few years). In fact, I only have one reason why Taylor Swift sucks and that is because she is selfish.
Now now, this isn't an issue that has arisen from just one situation. Her selfishness has been around for years. Here are a few instances where it really, truly, showed.
Gift Giving Scan
I am sure your social media was flooded with articles and links to this YouTube video, where Taylor Swift is just trying to connect to her fans by doing something special for them. She delivered gifts to them for Christmas! How nice of T-Swift! This would have been just dandy if she didn't go and make a YouTube video about it. For any of you that know how advertising and publicity works, this is basically a scam to get more attention and to prove herself.
The video starts off with a black screen and white text typing out lines like, "2014 was the year of many wonderful things for Taylor and her fans", a subtle way to brag about her accomplishments. Naturally, since it was such a "wonderful" year, Taylor felt like she could now refer to the national holiday that is called Christmas, as "Swiftmas". Sorry, Taylor, it's still Christmas to me. (P.S.: if anyone watches "Scream Queens," refer to the Halloween episode in which they totally mock this whole situation in Halloween form instead of Christmas)
Spotify Situation
Alright, let's get this straight. Taylor's estimated net worth is $200 million. However, Taylor is greedy so naturally, in late 2014, she decided to remove all of her albums off of the streaming service Spotify. She also expressed her issues about piracy. Sure, every musician worries about piracy. Hello, it's stealing. Let me put this in perspective of what Taylor turned down. On Spotify, artists receive less than a penny for every song play. But, for an artist like Taylor Swift, an album like 1989 could rake in $425,000 per month. PER MONTH. But, nope Taylor couldn't get off her high horse for that. It's 2015, buying physical copies of albums will soon be obsolete. 40 million people use Spotify, so thanks for caring about those fans, Taylor.
Award Show Squad
The VMAs are one of the most fun award shows out there. Amazing fashion and amazing people fill the red carpet. Like always, Taylor Swift was in attendance and up for many awards. Taylor, however, doesn't like to do anything half-assed so instead of showing up with one or two guests on her arms, she decided to bring the whole damn family. I don't mean her actual family, I mean her so-called "squad." Most of these starlets are her close friends or strangely all appeared in the "Bad Blood" music video. Coincidence? I think not. Names like Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, Cara Delevingne, and Karlie Kloss were just a few. If the whole situation couldn't get worse, as she was winning awards they come up on stage with her. Maybe it was Taylor's subtle way of letting them see what it looks like from the VMA stage because they'll never make it up there themselves.
I probably crushed a couple of the "Swiftie" hearts out there but someone had to break it to them. Taylor is an award winning musician, that unfortunately only thinks of herself. Don't let her actions that are supposedly for her fans trick you, they're stunts. Sorry, not sorry.
