Quoted:

She might write her music but she can't sing or dance worth a damn. Her shows appear to be Hunger Games-type glitter bombs. Plus she seems to have written the same song with different words about 87 times. If you want to call that talent, fine. I don't.

I'm also not suggesting replacing her with another pop singer as a role model. Not by any stretch. This isn't to say another is better - just that she is bad as well.

Quoted:
3) She's a political stooge and leverages her celebrity to influence votes, which is just wrong every which way you look at it.

Quoted:
She has sold out to Satan.

This. I'm all for setting a good example for children, but unless she's singing "Hail Satan" you might lighten up some. As far as "talentless",

You kinda sound like some parents did when Elvis hit the scene.

What a weird troll thread this is.
Even weirder is how many have taken the bait.

She turned me into a newt.

well, she's a witch

Quoted:
I am divorced with split custody of my two young daughters (5 and 7). I have told my story here many times before.

Generally speaking, my ex and I are on the same page with parenting. I happen to abhor Taylor Swift, mostly because I think she's a talentless hack and I cannot stand anybody that has a cult following. Seems inherently blasphemous. I'm not sure.

That said, my ex and many of her friends love Taylor Swift. My ex went to her sister in law's 30th birthday party this weekend and I guess it was Swift themed or something. I talk to my children daily, and my youngest was carrying around a life-size cardboard cutout of Taylor Swift. I said that I did not like her and that she isn't a good role model for young girls. My ex questioned me about this. Here's what I said.

1) She is a serial dater, and her entire career is based on trashing her repeated failed relationships. This is inherently disrespectful to men.
2) Her lyrics are indicative of a dark triad type personality - victim mentality, sociopathy, narcissism. It's extremely toxic.
3) She's a political stooge and leverages her celebrity to influence votes, which is just wrong every which way you look at it. Plus there's some sort of irony in choosing people when your entire career is based on choosing poorly.

Basically, Taylor Swift is a lot like my ex in terms of narcissism and serial dating, just richer and more famous. I find this to be the absolute last thing in the world I want my children to be. I would not want my son, if I had one, to date or marry such a woman, and I sure as fuck don't want my daughters to emulate literally anything about her personality or personal life choices.

The downside is that these are not things any child understands yet. All I can do is raise them the best I can.

Quoted:

While I didn't mention religion other than a passing reference to blasphemy, I would suggest you read the Bible. It's possible you're just slow and don't understand what Christianity and the Bible says about divorce and remarriage.

I don't know, maybe you think Taylor Swift has just been searching for the right guy for the last 16 years in the hopes of creating a marriage and family. I'm sure that's it.

Quoted:



Cool….now do the men you think should be a role model.



1)  Plenty of men trash women after a relationship. You’re being one sided. Typical ‘it’s different when you’re a man’ approach people laugh at.
2) same as one. Exactly the same.

She created her own business, was screwed by her last producer, remade ALL her own songs on her own, and put in the work to make the guy who screwed her lose the leverage he had on her.

Here you are saying Taylor isn’t a role model because she trashes her ex, and you do the exact same thing. Pot meet kettle.  Your daughter’s next boyfriend thank you for their daddy issues.

Quoted:
yikes dude.  you are DEFINITELY thinking about it too hard lol.  Doesn't everyone go through a dating phase in their 20's / early 30's?

Swift may have some issues but she's 99.99999% better than all the other singers out there today in terms of being a role model for younger children.  Just be thankful your kids aren't into emo or some shit.

Also, I'm pretty sure she writes all her own stuff and gave a big middle finger to big industry, so no idea how you can call her talentless.

Quoted:

Sounds like maybe spending more time dating and less time jumping into a marriage would have been a good choice for you.

Maybe Taylor swift could have been a good example for you.

Satanist, plain and simple.
