the exact same intro. 00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:26.239 I noticed this earlier when I was editing the last episode. 00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:32.479 I went, huh, look at some consistency in my opener. 00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:36.719 Maybe I need to shake it up, or maybe I should keep it the same. 00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:42.640 So let's get into today's topic. 00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:50.079 Title of this episode is called Haters Gonna Hate Hate Hate. 00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:53.119 So you should know what this is about. 00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:54.719 This is about Taylor Swift. 00:00:55.039 --> 00:01:01.920 Now, I have been listening to Taylor Swift since I was like 12. 00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:07.519 Okay, I had the debuted album on a CD. 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:09.439 Yes, I am, in fact, that old. 00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:10.959 I had CDs. 00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:16.879 The very first concert I ever went to was the Taylor Swift concert. 00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:19.359 I went to the sorry. 00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:23.200 I went to the Fearless Tour in Tulsa, Oklahoma. 00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:24.879 I went with my sister Chloe. 00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:29.920 We had box seats, so we were like above the stage. 00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:31.519 It was amazing. 00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:33.439 It was so, it was so fun. 00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:38.239 And I remember one of my favorite parts was it was Forever and Always. 00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:41.200 So she's on one end banging on the drum. 00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:45.439 And then she had a band member on the other side of the drum banging on the drum. 00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:47.040 It was so cool. 00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:50.879 And of course, the water with should have said no. 00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:52.879 It was a great concert. 00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:54.959 It was so great. 00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:57.760 I have always loved Taylor Swift. 00:01:57.920 --> 00:01:58.319 Always. 00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:03.760 I I had like I said, I had all of her all of the CDs at one point before Spotify. 00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.080 So I've always been a Swippie. 00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:10.400 And I've always connected to her music. 00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:14.479 One of my favorite songs from debut was Cold As You. 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:25.360 If you know, you know that the fifth album of all of her albums, or the fifth song of every album, tends to be an emotional one. 00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:27.520 And Cold As You was one I connected with. 00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:31.360 But I also connected with Tied Together with a smile. 00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:39.120 I was going through a lot as a teenager growing up with an alcoholic mother and taking care of my siblings. 00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:42.000 So I connected a lot to Taylor Swift's music. 00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:44.319 So she's always been very important to me. 00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:52.560 So I got Debute, I had Fearless, and then Speak Now and Red. 00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:56.639 Red for the Longest Time was my favorite album. 00:02:56.879 --> 00:03:02.479 And it stayed consistently my favorite album until the Tortured Poets Department. 00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:12.080 When the Tortured Poets Department came out, I went, well, Red, you've finally been voted from the first place. 00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:17.360 When so when 1989 came out, it was not my favorite album. 00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:19.680 I didn't connect as much to the songs. 00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:24.879 I still enjoyed them and I still had fun, but I didn't connect as much with them. 00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:30.319 Like I still love Shake It Off, because come on, the title of this episode is called Haters Gonna Hate Hate Hate. 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:35.360 And I liked Blank Space a lot because I liked the satiricalness of it. 00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:41.759 And my favorite line from that is baby, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream. 00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:43.039 It's just a great line. 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:50.240 So even though it's not my favorite album, I still like like liked it. 00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:51.199 Like it was alright. 00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:52.080 That's okay. 00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.400 You don't have to like every single album. 00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:55.360 Excuse me. 00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:58.800 You don't have to like every single album that an artist puts out. 00:03:58.960 --> 00:03:59.759 That's okay. 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:07.919 Lover wasn't my favorite either initially, but as I have gotten older, I I've enjoyed it more. 00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:10.000 Like I didn't really like the song me. 00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:11.840 I just I did not like it. 00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:19.920 I liked the video because I liked Brendan Urey, but it felt a little felt a little Disney channel, but that's okay. 00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:24.800 Because again, you don't have to like every song that comes on the radio. 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:29.600 The reputation, man, that was huge. 00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:36.879 If you know, you know everything that's happened with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. 00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:44.560 I had to give my mom the DL, the demo, on and all of the deeps of what exactly happened. 00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:49.600 And she asked me, she's like, how old was Taylor when she got that? 00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:52.240 It was like she only was like maybe 19. 00:04:52.560 --> 00:05:01.680 So yeah, when he took Kanye took her microphone, and she's just standing there so confused as to what's going on. 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:07.920 So yeah, reputation was I liked that. 00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:12.319 Then just folklore and evermore. 00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:16.560 If I had to rank my favorite albums, it's gonna be really hard. 00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:25.120 But if I had to rank them,

00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:38.800 When that song came out, that was my theme song. 00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:40.160 It's still my theme song. 00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:48.639 So yeah, Tortured Poets Department read folklore and evermore are really very much like tied together. 00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:50.240 So we're gonna put them together. 00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:51.759 Um, and then probably four. 00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:54.000 This is gonna be kind of funny, but is midnight. 00:05:54.240 --> 00:06:02.879 I really enjoyed midnights a lot, and I like the bonus songs that she does, like You're Losing Me, so good. 00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:06.319 Um but also The Great War, Would've Coulda Should've. 00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:22.639 And a lot of the times, like when she re-re re-released Red, I loved it even more, especially with the songs that were added, like Forever Winter, I Bet You Think About Me, 1989 had some great bonus songs, like Is It Over Now? 00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:25.279 Just really great ones. 00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:32.399 Great one. 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:47.199 Speak Now had Timeless, which I love that song, Castle is Crumbling, and I like that they added to it and you understood like where they fit, like they made sense. 00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:52.959 So obviously, when The Life of a Showgirl came out, I was like, yes, new album. 00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:53.759 So excited. 00:06:53.839 --> 00:07:03.680 I listened to the whole album when it came out last October and like all day, and I already had all of the songs memorized by by the time they rolled around. 00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:06.160 So yeah, I've always been a Swiftie. 00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:12.639 When I she said she was gonna do the Ares tour, I immediately tagged my mom in it and I put in all caps. 00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:20.959 I wanna go, this is what I want for Christmas, and then she messages me and she's like, You think I don't already know that that's what you want for Christmas? 00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:23.279 So we went to the Ares tour. 00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:26.160 I had a really great outfit planned. 00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:34.959 I was gonna wear some sparkly pants because I was like, midnight's had just come out, so I was like, Okay, there's gonna be so much sparkle because of the song Bejeweled. 00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:36.079 There's gonna be so much sparkle. 00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:37.839 So I got sparkly pants. 00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:42.079 They didn't come on, come in on time, and we had to go to Arlington, Texas. 00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:48.560 We go, and thankfully, our hotel is right across, so we can just walk to the venue. 00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:53.920 It was so much fun seeing everyone's outfits and all of the sparkles and the boots and the hats. 00:07:54.079 --> 00:08:14.560 You had some that were very debut-inspired and fearless, speak now, and red, and 1989, and reputation, and lover, and folklore, and evermore, and tortured poets department later when that came out, and it was just so much fun. 00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:20.319 My mom's got like a bunch of videos of me singing because I stood the entire time. 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:22.720 I was dancing, I was singing. 00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:29.519 The people next to us, they were they also were having fun, but they didn't know all of the songs, and that was okay. 00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:34.480 So they would ask me what album is this off of because they wanted to listen to it more later, and I would tell them. 00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:37.120 And it was so much fun. 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:42.000 My mom's got a bunch of videos of me singing and dancing and just grinning like a loon because I was so happy. 00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:54.799 It just it was so nice to do something like that, especially after because I was like after COVID, and even though it was after COVID, we were still kind of in the middle of everyone trying to get back to how it was, and I don't think we ever did. 00:08:55.120 --> 00:09:00.720 Air Stor was amazing, and I I loved it so much. 00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:15.360 The reason why this is called Haters It Are Gonna Hate Hate Hate is I have realized and noticed for years how much hate Taylor gets. 00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:17.679 And I wrote a blog about this a while ago. 00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:20.159 I think I've written like two blogs actually. 00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:24.240 Now, again, you don't have to like her music. 00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:26.240 Okay, you don't have to like her music. 00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:30.799 If you if her music is not your style of music, that is okay. 00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:31.679 Alright? 00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:34.320 Everyone has their own preference. 00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:35.840 Preferences. 00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:37.600 That's okay. 00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:52.559 My problem is is when you like Taylor Swift, and then people just automatically rip you apart and say she's she's trash and she's fake and she's a mean girl and all of that. 00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:57.200 They just automatically attack you for being a Swifty. 00:09:57.679 --> 00:09:58.960 Automatically. 00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:09.840 I really don't at all. 00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:14.720 For the Ares tour, every city she she helped. 00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:24.639 Like she donated money, she took care of the drivers who were moving the equipment, she took care of the people who were on tour with her, the fans, the dancers, all of that, right? 00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:27.519 So I don't understand where the hate comes from. 00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:29.120 No, that's a lie. 00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:30.159 I understand where it comes from.
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:33.679 It comes from misogyny and sexism. 00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:43.919 Because I have never seen a male artist get as much hate as Taylor Swift does. 00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:46.240 It does not matter what she does. 00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:50.320 She gets she gets shot on. 00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:51.759 It does not matter. 00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:53.600 She always does. 00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:54.960 I don't understand that. 00:10:55.200 --> 00:11:05.840 I feel like it's just a level of they want something to bitch about, they want something to complain about, so they hate on her a lot. 00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:08.000 It's it's ridiculous. 00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:15.039 I mean, when The Life of a Showgirl came out, everyone was like, this is such a trash album, and blah blah blah. 00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:20.480 She's just doing it for the money, and everyone's always saying she's got too many variants of albums. 00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:23.039 Do you know who also has variants of albums? 00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:25.039 Every other freaking artist. 00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:33.360 Y'all aren't bitching about all of the male artists who have variants of their albums, and yet you want to bitch about her. 00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:38.480 I don't understand that. 00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:42.159 Once again, you don't have to like her music. 00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:48.879 That doesn't mean you get to just hate her and spew a bunch of random shit. 00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:52.639 Because you just want to bitch about her. 00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:57.039 I I really I really don't understand the discourse of it. 00:11:57.200 --> 00:11:58.159 I really don't. 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:00.720 I'm never going to understand it. 00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:04.320 Whatsoever. 00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:06.480 I wish I did understand it. 00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:07.679 Because I I don't. 00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:09.440 Maybe maybe someone can tell me. 00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:10.399 What has she done? 00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:18.080 I have not seen anything or read anything of like the heinous things that she has done to make y'all hate her. 00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:18.720 Okay? 00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:21.120 She's just making music. 00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:22.240 That's it. 00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:27.679 Then everyone gets mad when she goes to football games. 00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:31.440 Guys, she's going to a football game to support her husband. 00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:35.519 It's not her fault that the camera ghost to her. 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:37.519 She's not telling them, look at me, look at me. 00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:41.360 She's having fun trying to watch a football game, okay? 00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:58.159 Also, one of the cutest things is these these some of these dads, whose daughter love daughters loved Taylor Swift, they love her, wanted to go to football games because Taylor Swift was going to them. 00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:04.639 Then it turned out that some of the girls really
