I don't listen to much in the way of pop music, and just
the impages of the endless parade of Pop Tarts pretty much
repels me, so I don't care to hear what they're singing.

I'm not a Swiftie either, though she seems pleasant enough,

Up to this point in time, my Taylor taxonomy took in a trio of traits:
billionaire rock star with a pro football player boyfriend. After years
of Western corporate media promotion, one of her songs recently came to
my attention.

(To be honest, Taylor's performance art is ts;dnw - Too Stupid; Did Not
Watch. The last letter of my acronym can be flipped to Read or Listen
as apropos.)

Does Taylor appear on MTV? If so, there's a good chance Stevie Nicks
alludes to Taylor when Stevie says:

    "I've never been to a strip club but I turn on MTV and
    see in every single video what it must look like... if
    you have to work so hard at appearing sexy, then perhaps
    you weren't that sexy after all, perhaps your music has
    no sensuality, perhaps your music is dull, indeed, that
    you have no choice but to pelvic thrust your way through
    a pop video in a leather bikini in order to detract from
    its mediocrity... it might be advisable to do something
    else."

Western corporate media (eg Outkick) apparently assumes Taylor's song
upsets me enough to make me to act out. Meanwhile, my own take is,
"Actors are paid. So where's my money to act upset?"

Long story short, my vote is to cage Taylor in the back with the
presumed patriarchal pachyderm so she can fight the good fight.
