Ok I’m going to risk my man card here
I don’t like Taylor Swift’s politics or that she’s started using some 4 letter words in her music BUT
The documentary series is ASTONISHING. The care she had for that crew, dancers, singers was awesome.
I do love a lot of her music (not Tortured Poets personally my least favorite) as well….her latest “happy Taylor” Life of a Showgirl may turn out to be her best or my favorite…
But love all of her narcissism or not…she’s one of the most selflessly “selfish” stars imaginable.
That docuseries is phenomenal
Yes she loves the spotlight of course and has to…but the joy she shows bringing & gifting OTHERS joy is amazing. $197 million just in bonuses to her crew & talent!? Also she just donated this year a million to American Heart Association and now Feeding America just before Christmas.
Giving spirit IS what Christmas is all about. At least she understands she has an obligation to give back
Most importantly to me personally is…as the father of a 12 yr old girl swiftie…watching her show and documentary as well as appreciating her music has allowed a bond between me and my girl that will absolutely last. We have so many song to share that have different meanings but are relevant to so many parts of a girl growing up
