This has been a topic on my mind for the past month and after reading an interesting article about Taylor Swift and how she's not being as genuine as everyone thinks she is, I finally thought "well let's do this." So here it goes!

Taylor Swift is becoming fake. Yes, I'm a little biased because I don't necessarily like her but I've spoken to many people that do like her and they agree with me wholeheartedly. She plays the underdog card way too much and we all get it. You were just a small town girl that wanted to sing and people bullied you in school and now you're famous and amazing. It definitely started with the dramatic change from country to pop and from then on it quickly transformed into an empire of constant attention towards her. Yes, her music from 1989 is super catchy and as much as I hate to admit it, I downloaded some songs from the album and I sing them all the time in my car. But in the news lately people have slowly started to lose interest in her and seem to think she is becoming super predictable. With a few new guests at each of her concerts, this Taylor sprouted into something of an attention seeker. There was even a YouTube video that was created, mimicking every time she welcomed someone new to the stage. She makes it seems like she's friends with every famous person known to mankind. Wait not just friends, but Best Friends. It's all just baffling to me.

(If you haven't seen the video of Lara Schoenhals making fun of Swift then you should 100 percent check it out because it's hysterical.)

Speaking of friends, what's with this whole squad she has? Personally, I feel like the people in it change every week with a few like Cara Delevingne, Selena Gomez, and Gigi Hadid who stay constantly in it. If you haven't caught up on your Taylor Swift gang/squad history then let me fill you in real quick. It all started when she began a, what we thought was , sincere friendship with singer, Lorde, and actress, Lena Dunham. Then it transformed into her befriending models and beautiful pop stars and trying to promote girl power and feminism. I admit it worked at first, but that was before all her friends were models and 6 feet tall. How is it that you're promoting feminine and body positivity when you have friends that are literally paid to be beautiful? This is one of the reasons why you don't see her hanging out with Lena Dunham that much.

In a People magazine article, Dunham "joked" about feeling chubby and short compared to the rest of the gang. "Joked?" OK, Lena. Why don't you just come right out and say it, that wasn't a joke. You actually do feel that way. And it's sad. I definitely think Taylor Swift doesn't realize she is making people feel this way, but it's just completely unrealistic for all girls to have friends like this. Obviously we don't need to have friends that are gorgeous and tall, but she definitely makes you think twice about the people you should be friends with. I'm blessed to call my "squad" a diverse group of amazing, true, real friends.

It's not just Taylor's squad that's got people feeling uneasy. She just debuted her new music video for her song "Wildest Dreams," which is set in Africa. It's received a lot of backlash about her being racist. While I don't think she is at all racist, I do think she could have easily avoided this. It's come to the point where not only do I feel annoyed with Taylor Swift, but i feel kind of bad for her. She's slowly going down hill, for me, so I hope she can do something to rise back up soon.
