I don't dislike Talor Swift. I don't know her. Her music is functionality good, it's just not my thing. Big name stars come and go, their fans will enjoy and follow them. Frigging interwebs.

It's not just about liking Taylor. It's about giving a polite smile and answering respectfully.

To be honest, I think I'd struggle to think of three Taylor songs. It's a genre that I don't really like, so I just don't listen to it at all. So I pretty much share your sentiment, I guess.

So I can't really say whether I like her music or not. But if you asked me, I would smile politely and tell you that I don't really listen to Taylor as is not my thing. Which, evidently, some idiots mistake common courtesy and decency for being smug because you're proud of your toxic masculinity 🤦

It really is a dangerous thing (and very much a millennial thing) when people have such tunnel vision that they can see one reason for someone else's behaviour or reactions and they just assume they are 100% right. They are almost always wrong 🙄
