Imma say this as someone who stream this woman’s music and went to the Eras tour. Taylor makes loser girl music. You can’t make that music and give extremely talented performances. It ruins the illusion of relatability
I know that her brand requires and thrives off relatability. And her demographic can’t relate to real vocalists or dancers. This is why comparisons between her and Beyoncé are futile. Her mediocrity is literally the selling point bc her fans see themselves in her
Beyoncé’s demographic appreciates vocals, performance, etc…. To bring it back around, we as black ppl culturally value vocals and performance. It’s woven into our culture.
Taylor swift will never be popular for black folks bc we don’t do mediocrity (mostly bc we aren’t afforded to). That’s why these arguments are so boring.
Joaquin developed the idea and screenplay, introduced the graphic sexual nature, had the film SOLD to distributors contingent on his casting, HAD THE SET BUILT IN MEXICO, and now is backing out days before filming thus ruining the entire project and losing ppl jobs and money
Joaquin Phoenix has dropped out of a gay romance movie five days before filming was set to begin, with a source telling Variety that he got “cold feet.”
Sources tell Variety that his role cannot be recast, the crew is now out of work, and losses could exceed seven figures.
Ivy Park’s biggest problem was treating athleisure as luxury. Not in terms of price because Lulu lemon has similar prices, but in terms of release. We were getting Telfar releases just to buy leggings… like getting a bucket hat was as hard as getting Renny tickets?
More celebrity brands are failing.
Adidas is set to lose $200M on Beyoncé’s Ivy Park this year. That's on top of a $1.3B loss from Yeezy.
What went wrong? In order to work, a celeb brand needs to get three things right:
This is sending me bc Beyoncé showed Hillary support, Hillary lost. Beto support, Beto lost. Wrote to the Kentucky AG to bring justice for Breonna Taylor, the AG said no. That lady can’t even enact change in her own country 😭
Megan said Beyoncé is the reason why she has her own brand of tequila. She said Beyonce told her “The next time I see you, you need to have your own alcohol.”
We’re always going to be in a pandemic I feel. And I don’t say that to be dystopian, I say that to mean there should be permanent protocols to protect people. We can enjoy things safely, it’s very possible.

It’s not lost on me that white people proudly circumvent the law but when it comes to BLM or immigration they suddenly have their JDs and express legality as a moral high ground.
Mind you Beyoncé has successfully navigated cassettes, CDs, iTunes, ringtones, and now streaming. Yall have barely navigated through high school or college. Like pls 😭
beyoncé needs to change her team. they use tactics from a decade ago and it seems like they dont understand that we live in a digital era where if you want the gp to value your work you have to show up more often. playing the shock factor is not enough, its not 2014 anymore

Technique is a major prerequisite to being a "vocal acrobat"...so if Beyoncé has better technique how would Xtina do "vocal acrobats all over her"? You see where I'm going with this? I'm a fan of both so I really have no dog in this, but your tweet didn't make sense sweetness.

Ignoring the insinuation of misogyny, this response is hilarious because the answer is obviously yes. If a public servant isn’t doing what you want, work to get rid of them. Duh?
Concepts from AP English Comp & Lit should be required. Too many of y’all can’t read, critically think, pick up on tone, research, identify credible sources, summarize key themes from said sources, etc.. Just out here dumb
I don’t care for stan wars anymore but I will say, I don’t think ppl understand the HIT Beyoncé took to her Spotify numbers by keeping Lemonade off the platform for 3 years. And the best part is mama don’t care. She already told us she don’t care about streaming numbers 😂

Y’all really showed out in Texas. Through more organizing and fighting against harmful legislation, I can definitely see Texas going blue.
It’s funny bc for white Jewish people unless they are in religious clothing, they are just white people. And for non-white Jewish people, they just colored. Like your Judaism is not the first thing I think about when I see you unless you are in Jewish clothing
As a southerner who was not really raised around Jewish people is hard for me to understand how Jewish people think everyone in the world can clock them as Jews. They just look like white folks unless they have on the hat or whatever.

Definitely agree with Elite. But I think they get away with a lot of adult things bc in Spain you can do a lot of stuff at 16 that you have to wait to do at 18 or 21 in the US.

Exactly. I know to suspend my expectations when I see her. All I want are her fits and that crimson red lipstick, while I scream cry to Cruel Summer

I can’t believe I’m defending Biden, but he’s actually stated in the past that he wants to make the fleet EV. Especially the beast. However electrifying a 7.5+ ton vehicle probably isn’t the easiest thing, I suspect.
Afro-Latinos are the strongest soldiers bc I’d go crazy if the white ppl I had to deal with called themselves POC and seriously meant it. Like she’s a craquer if I’ve ever seen one 😭
Baby ask a black student at a PWI (esp ones that led a black student union 🙋🏾♂️) what they went through from 2015-16. My sisters school had the n word scribbled all over her campus in 2019. Like you can complain about antisemitism without bringing us up bc we been thru it tenfold
It is so funny to me to see people crying about anti-semitism on campus and saying “If people were being racist to black students it would be an issue” because baby ask ANY black student at a PWI that has a black student union the type of shit they deal with.

Actually many do. Not saying it gives license to weigh in on what’s happening in Ukraine. But your comment is historically inaccurate and revisionist.

She already did…in Ba Sing Se. And that was Katara at her intermediate. Katara was wiping the floor with Azula until Zuko intervened…
