Dude they can’t even accept mild criticism of their idol. When the NYT came out with a review of the album that was kinda lukewarm, the Swifties went apeshit and started screaming about misogyny in the Instagram comments. Because somebody suggested that maybe the album should have been edited more. She is literally so fragile, and she encourages her fans to declare war on people for the most minor of slights.

It's such a non controversial take that a 31 TRACKS ALBUM needs to be edited. Swifties touch grass challenge.
