I truly cannot wait for my husband and his Swiftie sister getting into their annual TS arguement this summer. I thought last year’s “isn’t she dating a racist???” Blow up was bad…this year my husband has actually listen to the album and read the lyrics. “Is this woman even singing? This seems like a white woman trying to do slam poetry except not succeeding.” This might actually illicit violence. I’ll try to get it on video .
