I'm Team Taylor all the way but I admit she has faults as referenced in the disillusioned fan's letter. Katy Perry better not release a stinging rebuttal song to Bad Blood or against Taylor or I will be furious. Having trouble double quoting on the mobile site but here's the honey for that tea from my previous post

Keep in mind that Katy started this all by stealing Taylor's dancers right in the middle of her tour, leaving Taylor scrambling like mad to find replacements. Then Katy dated Taylor's ex. So Katy deserved a shame track written about her, but Taylor doesn't.

So Katy deserved a shame track written about her, but Taylor doesn't. Imma tell you the same thing about those dancers that I say about men: you can't steal someone who doesn't want to be taken. If I'm not mistaken those dancers worked with Katy before going on the Red tour with Taylor. Taylor was on break, Katy called, and those chose to go get paid. Maybe Taylor should have actually made her dancers sign tour-long contracts instead of being shocked that dancers don't follow some honor system that only Taylor knows about. Should Jennifer Love Hewitt have the right to pen a shame track about Taylor? Can Rita Ora come back with a fire dis track? After all, John and Calvin were their respective exes first...Besides, Taylor's beef with Katy is (supposedly) entirely concerning that tour + some shady remarks here and there. I don't know what dating John has to do with the price of tea in china, but Ms. "girl power is more important than being mad about boys" Swift can NOT talk about being mad at someone simply for dating one of her exes when she is running through men like water at Niagara Falls. That doesn't even sound like something Taylor herself would be huffy about, and Taylor is a pretty huffy person. That just sounds like some lala s**t you made up in your own head. You are doing the most with the least.

So Katy deserved a shame track written about her, but Taylor doesn't. From what I remember, those dancers were actually Katy Perry's dancers. Katy was paying them even while she was on a break, working on album #3. Those dancers were looking for work during Katy's break and got on Taylor's tour. However, they did tell Taylor's people that they would have to leave if Katy needed them. When Katy called them, they left. So either Taylor forgot that those dancers could leave at any moment or the people who hired them for the tour forgot to tell her that. Or perhaps she did know but thought she would be able to persuade those dancers to stay with her?

NOT the rehashing of that stale Bad Blood tea! Anyway, I feel like TaylorGate has already blown over, LOL. This woman is like the Hillary Clinton of Pop Music.

They are Katy's dancers back in Teenage Dream era, way before they went on red tour with Taylor Snake. Taylor Snake also didn't give them a contract, how can a Snake expect the dancers just keep waiting for her with no money coming into their bank account? Plus, the dancers say that Katy is basically a friend to them, she treats them real nice,not just a boss lady. As you can read on the dancers' Instagram & twitter.

If anyone thought that the Kimye scandal meant the end of Taylor's career, they were delusional. This won't even "bring her down". It blew up, now the scandal is over... she can go on with her life and career.
(I won't be surprised if the topic is brought up again during the VMAS... but I'm sure she won't attend, so whatever happens won't have her directly involved)

And why are we talking about the dancers story again? Isn't this literally two years old?

No one said it will be the end of her...but Phase 1 of Operation Snake was successful. The sweet and innocent angel has been expose for what she truly is.

Even with this news of being "exposed", I'm in the boat of not giving a damn. The good things Taylor does (whether they're for PR or not) far outweigh the negatives. And yes, people can say she does it for publicly, or to sell albums or whatever. Bottom line is she is still doing good things and that is a lot better than a lot of us.

Just to clarify one small detail... Taylor is not a snake. She's a sweetheart. I hope she boycotts VMAs after getting snubbed.

Taylor Swift Donates $1 Million to Louisiana Flood ReliefTaylor Swift is donating $1 million to help Louisiana recover after some of the worst flooding in the state’s history killed at least 11 people and damaged more than 40,000 homes. The 26-year-old Wildest Dreams singer confirmed the donation to the Associated Press, calling the crisis “heartbreaking” on Tuesday. “We began The 1989 World Tour in Louisiana, and the wonderful fans there made us feel completely at home. The fact that so many people in Louisiana have been forced out of their own homes this week is heartbreaking,” Swift said in a statement to the news agency. “I encourage those who can to help out and send your love and prayers their way during this devastating time,” she added. Louisiana has been hit by as much as 2 feet of rain in 48 hours, with more than 30,000 people rescued since Friday, according to the AP. More than 60,000 people have registered for assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and 20 parishes have been declared a major disaster area by the federal government, Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards said. Time

It's really great to see her being this generous at a time of need. This should be commended and lauded! I just wish no publicity were made... Do it low-key... Otherwise it could also be seen as a PR effort to help restore her image

I wouldn't hyper-analyze this b/c all good Taylor deeds circle back to her in the press eventually, i.e. even if it is about PR that wouldn't make it any different from what she's done before. Just happens to be coming off the back end of some less-than-positive PR this time. I appreciate that she is charitable, regardless of the motivation behind it.

What's wrong with that? The flood victims still get a million bucks worth of help.

Not for nothing, but Taylor has donated similar amounts of money to nearly every natural disaster like this over the course of her career. It's not like this is unlike her or out of character. This is pretty typical T. Swift.

This is pretty typical T. Swift. Yeah I think a lot of people are saying all of those donations also were for PR purposes. I don't know that I agree with that, but it's a valid question.

This is pretty typical T. Swift. Yeah I think a lot of people are saying all of those donations also were for PR purposes. I don't know that I agree with that, but it's a valid question. I don't think it's a valid question at all, personally. Ever since Taylor Swift has had money, even as a young teenage girl, she has shelled out millions of dollars to fans, organizations, and victims of tragedies. That's not something anybody has to or is forced to do and that's a very pretty penny to pay for goodwill and PR. All Taylor really had to do for PR was to show up and maybe sing at a few charity events, maybe donate a few thousand dollars here or there. Taylor Swift might be a lot of things, but there's no doubt in my mind that Taylor Swift genuinely wanted to donate a huge amount of money to individuals and organizations over the course of her career because it was the right thing to do with the amount of money and power she has. Just because she is suddenly in a bit of a bad position with the general public (and really, as mentioned, she will go pretty much unscathed into her next era and score yet another multi-platinum album and a slew of enormous hits, let's be real) doesn't mean that everything she has donated to or stood up for throughout the past decade suddenly becomes negligible because two celebrities who live for drama decided to blow up her spot and her ex is bitter. Like I said, Taylor Swift might be a lot of things...and charitable is for sure one of them.
