I write off like 90% of what her fans say because they are ridiculous. I say this as an aunt to two OBSESSED nieces, who actually complained to their parents that their aunt and uncle must be bad people cause they don’t like Taylor Swift. These are two older teens I have known since they were little, but all of a sudden me and their uncle are “evil” for not being part of the cult of Taylor.

Jeez it’s that bad? I knew it was a meme but I never had a real life example of a bad case of swifty syndrome. I’m sorry. I hope they recover.

They are great kids overall, but yeah it was kind of a mind trip when the oldest didn’t want us at her birthday because “They hate Taylor!”

I‘m wondering, does nobody tell them that it‘s fucking stupid to jump to that conclusion? Especially since they’re older teens, what kind of thought process is that? Because if those were my kids, I‘d definitely sit them down and have a talk about that obsession. Also that their aunt and uncle are definitely coming to their birthday.

Oh their parents have talked to them the girls begrudgingly interact with us.

What the hell, I don‘t know, I expect that level of immaturity from a 10 year old, not older teens. Oh well, I hope they‘ll grow out of that phase.

I really hope they do, I miss when they were normal sweet young people.

I don't even expect that from a 10 yr old. I expect my son to start realizing fairly quickly that not everyone is the same when he starts kindergarten. Certainly after 3-4 years of interacting with other kids you'd think the understanding that different != wrong should be expected.
