Why I'm Supporting Taylor Swift

A response to all of the hate on T-Swift in the midst of her feud with Kanye and Kim.

Why I'm Supporting Taylor Swift
GQ

It's been the only thing talked about for a week. If you don't know what's going on, here's a summary:

Basically Taylor Swift wasn't too happy about Kanye West's lyrics in his new song "Famous". A few months back Kayne said he got Taylor's approval for the line, "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/Why? I made that bitch famous." However, Taylor denied approving the lyrics. Then earlier this week Kim Kardashian released a series of videos on her Snapchat of a "private" call between Kayne and Taylor where Taylor is thanking Kanye of warning her of the lyrics in his new songs.

Now here's what I have a problem with:

First is that Kim released those videos, which were of a private phone call that was just supposed to be Kanye and Taylor. If they tables were reversed, I guarantee the whole Kardashian family would be extremely angry at Taylor and they would try and make Taylor look like the bad guy. Secondly, Kanye never told Taylor that he had the phrase "I made that bitch famous" in his song. So he completely left that part out without Taylor knowing, and I don't blame her for being angry. First, Kayne credits himself for making Taylor famous at the VMAs, which is obviously not what happened, and secondly he used a derogatory word towards Taylor. I also have a problem with the whole Kardashian's response on Twitter. Khloe was tweeting Chlöe Grace Moretz, who is only 19 by the way, and was trying to out Chlöe with a not-so-flattering bikini shot, for which Chlöe then had evidence to prove it wasn't her.

I also have a problem with they way people have responded to this whole situation. While yes, Taylor was OK with the few lyrics that Kanye proposed to her, she still didn't know the rest of it. But people are so fast to jump on the bandwagon and send hate to Taylor through every means of social media there is.

I'm not saying Taylor is a saint in this situation at all; she clearly had knowledge of the song, but sending hate is not the way to go. For all we know, this is some sort of publicity stunt between both Taylor and Kanye, but I find it funny no one's thought of that, when everyone was quick to assume Taylor and Tom's new relationship was. It just goes to show that when it comes to Taylor, everyone wants to assume the worst of her, but when it comes to Kanye and Kim, they're the innocent victims who are just trying to bring "art" into the world by having wax figures of nude celebrities, including Taylor (who hasn't even spoken out about that yet, bless her soul) in Kayne's "Famous" music video.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
