I'm being serious here but is anyone really talking about this fued still? Pulse is the only place fiercely debating this still so I don't see what the big deal is. This is nothing like the Nicki Minaj/Katy/Taylor fight last summer that went on for weeks.

All you Taylor-bashers who just came out of the woodwork and slammed her over the past few days are all losers.

All you Taylor-bashers who just came out of the woodwork and slammed her over the past few days are all losers. As one of the first dormant Pulse users to start posting again since this story broke, I want to say to the other young dormant posters out there, there are going to be crazy stans along the way who try to undercut your return or take credit for your posts' likes. But if you just focus on your own activity and don't let those people sidetrack you, someday when you get where you're going, you will look around and you will know it was you and the posters who love you who brought you back, and that will be the greatest feeling in the world. Until snack time.

Until snack time. Being falsely painted as a stan when she was never given the full story or the opportunity to lurk any part of this thread is character assassination. I would like very much for her to be excluded from this narrative, one that she never asked to be a part of, since 2016.

I think 99% of the posts on here have said that this will not actually affect her career trajectory (provided she doesn't f**k this up any further). You know, I think I'm going to disagree with the 99% on this, because of this: If she just apologized, admitted she lied, and cried about how ~fame~ made her lose herself but this has given her perspective, the whole incident would wind up being a net win for her. Digging in her heels and trying to convince the world the sky isn't blue just makes her look like more of a sociopath. Granted this mostly falls into your parenthetical caveat, but my concern with Taylor is that she simply does not have the self-awareness or humility to fall back and take the temporary L, and this is what will ultimately lead to her descent, even it's not a drastic one. Contrast this with last year when she got dragged for that "maybe one of the guys took your spot" comment. She sat the day out while Twitter had its fun, then came back with an apology and said she clearly misunderstood Nicki's tweet. Then she took it a step further and had Nicki invite her on stage at the VMAs to officially seal the deal and come out of it stronger than ever. That's the kind of calculation that works; sometimes you goof up and you have to acknowledge that, as it's much easier to recover from a little stumble than a hard fall. I wouldn't say an apology is warranted this time; Kimye are not nearly sympathetic enough for that. But openly admitting 'you know, I'm still burned up about that stunt he pulled, and for him to then call me up and ask if he can use my name for his press? The whole damn line is offensive. So I decided I wanted to flip the tables, because you know what, f**k him. I will never want him to win. That's how I feel about anyone who crosses me but especially someone who crosses me and then thinks he can continue to play that whole incident up for his benefit. I guess I should have figured someone who's that much of a megalomaniac would record everything he says from the moment he wakes to the moment he falls asleep, but who really thinks things out that far?" That's probably the closest thing to the truth when it comes down to it, and you know what? Pettiness is relatable. Hoping all your enemies fail is relatable. Wanting to exact revenge on someone who was an ass to you and fate just not working in your favor that day is 100% relatable. So I feel like most people would accept that/not look so absurd in trying to paint her as the innocent one. I don't know why Taylor has suddenly lost the plot when she had such a good grasp of this concept just a year ago. Worse, she's now pushing for full audio of the convo, dragging out what could and should have died with the end of the Monday news cycle. At this point I do not think people want to hear another breakup anthem or even a vague 'bye hater' jam like SIO because no matter how good it sounds, it will reinforce what she's being dogged for right now - insufferable arrogance and a compulsive need to play the victim at other people's expense. A self-aware Taylor could spin a fantastic album out of all these events but she's got to be willing to let her guard down and actually write that album. And again, we got a glimpse of this kind of self-awareness with Blank Space (and New Romantics, to an extent), but more and more it looks like those songs were only sardonic takes on what Taylor thinks her critics perceive her to be, rather than true self-reflection. She'll always have her hardcore believers - and I'm sure there are a ton of them - but the more impressionable or casual fans is where she'll lose out. I also feel that a lot of Taylor's power centers around her control of every media outlet, and once that is broken it's pretty impossible to gain it back. Comeback stories are cute too but there's always that tinge of having been put in your place and always reminded that you aren't above reproach anymore. The media is SO weird about this - they always let themselves be taken hostage by some mastermind PR team, but clearly loathe it and rejoice when something happens to finally break the hold. The details of Taylor's sitch are not comparable to that of Britney or Mariah but the end result feels sort of the same, a media in a frenzy and suddenly turning on someone who was previously unassailable (yes, often a woman, but never mind that right now) as soon as they see an opportunity. Which begs the question, why do they allow any celeb to build up that much control in the first place. Taylor could not have reached the level of manipulative mastermind that she did without their cooperation.

One is a neverending fountain of tabloid fodder with her scandalous marriage and reality show stuff and the other is sadly no longer with us. Neither scenario is better than this.

These comments are amazing, but I missed the Pulse communities reaction to Selena Gomez and her piss-poor defense of Taylor. I bet it was just as funny as the twitter reaction. Damn it.

Wasn't talking to you specifically, just meant in general for the Carrie talk to cease. :) Why there were three posts mentioning her on the last page. None of which were breaking any rules. It's a fair comparison. I had no idea there was any sort of tension between the two even if it was just fan fiction it's still fair discussion material. We already have enough posters unfairly micro managing this board. We don't need Mods unjustly censoring discussions.

I will say, I think Carrie gives off a cold vibe many times - I'd be curious to know if her and Taylor have any interactions on camera.
Also, do Taylor and Miranda get along? Reba?
I know Taylor used to LOVE Kelly - she like specifically shouted her out many times when promoting Fearless back in 2009. I remember hearing it on Z100 driving to work. Side note: wow, that was a long time ago, wtf.
