Taylor Swift Fans Defend Their Favorite
Taylor Swift’s fans are known for fiercely defending their beloved artist, often referred to as T-Swizzle. In a recent incident, one magazine went as far as removing the reviewer’s name from their content, out of concern for potential threats that might be directed at the person.
Magazine Under Fire
Paste, an entertainment and culture outlet, published a review titled ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ on Friday. Surprisingly, the article did not credit a specific author, omitting the reviewer’s name from the byline.
Protecting Employees
The magazine added an editor’s note to their account to explain the lack of a byline. According to the note, the writer of a previous review for Taylor Swift’s album ‘Lover’ received violent threats. As a result, the magazine did not want to put their employee in potential danger by including their name in the byline.
Strong Criticism
The review of ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ notable criticized Taylor Swift’s 11th studio album. The writer argued that it infantilizes its audience, drawing a controversial comparison to poet Rupi Kaur’s work. The opening line of the review, “Sylvia Plath did not stick her head in an oven for this!,” sets the critical tone for the entire piece.
Album’s Success Despite the Review
Despite the negative review, ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ reportedly achieved a significant milestone. The album became the first to surpass 300 million Spotify streams in just one day, demonstrating the undeterred enthusiasm of Taylor Swift’s fans.
Debate Online
The response to Paste’s decision to protect their writer has been mixed. While some argue that fans should be allowed to engage in a constructive debate with critics, others applauded the magazine for taking the safety of their employee into consideration.
Paste’s Cautionary Tale
As the controversy unfolds, Paste magazine should remain cautious as they navigate the delicate balance between honest critique and the threats that can arise from passionate fan bases. In the end, they might even find their magazine mentioned in Taylor Swift’s future 12th album!
