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 ** Edited by hokiepro at 12/24/2025, 10:00:53 AM

Swift is really good at what she does. I like many of her songs.
HokieGator 12/24/25 10:14 AM ET
Yes. Also the song “Life of a Showgirl” is quite the statement
hokiepro 12/24/25 10:19 AM ET
Every stop on her tour she donated enough money to fund the food bank at

I’m more open minded than you may think
hokiepro 12/24/25 10:46 AM ET
Pro, if anything, you seem extremely positive and invested in VT sports.
reestuart 12/24/25 12:02 PM ET
I don't read your posts as some do with prejudice. Your in-game angst...

We all have days/times when we need to vent our frustrations.

LOL. Same here. Evidently you and I share that relationship with Will.**
