Taylor Swift claims to be all about ‘sisterhood,’ but her VMA-nominated tune is all about ganging up on a woman: http://t.co/i2i3JLAOfx
— The Daily Beast (@thedailybeast) August 28, 2015As Taylor Swift, captain of the #whitegirlsquad, prepares to premiere her new music video at the VMAs and undoubtedly prepares to scoop up" several awards for Bad Blood, a journalist at The Daily Beast breaks down how Taylor's #squadgoals image contrasts with her music.
A few excerpts:
- "Swift’s feminism is like a malfunctioning Pokémon—somehow managing to simultaneously evolve and get worse. . .Swift’s feminism can be seen taking the form of white solipsism."
- "Swift’s fatal mistake: believing that by simply having a group of friends, she has cracked the feminist code. Someone should let bell hooks and Gloria Steinem know that they could have avoided an entire lifetime’s work of critical thought by consoling Selena Gomez after her breakup or baking gluten free cookies for Martha Hunt!"
- "there’s no such thing as a perfect feminist—but it’s sure going to be strange to watch girl power Swift take home an armful of VMAs for her girl-bashing music vid."
The journalist is out for blood & flawlessly snarky. Worth reading the full story at the SOURCE
