For what it’s worth Wim, I’m on your side with regards to your Taylor Swift crusade.
I could not name (or recognise) a single song of hers…you would know that she’s not on my radar when it comes to music…
BUT
…when my 27yo daughter tells me that it was “the best night ever” when she attended one of the concerts, I have to take note.
The only point I might make is why waste your time arguing with a bunch of old farts who probably don’t know much more about her than I do.

Let’s face it Taylor Swift could only dream of getting to the superstardom of the seminal German Europop group, Modern Talking.
They would fill out the MCG at least 10 times over
Get with the program swoodley

Hot take. Stupid middle aged men get all wound up about music young, mostly women, love, and proclaim it to be “not as good as the music I like”.
I don’t think it’s really a hot take that those men are just wrong

I’m with you Wim. Love Taylor and her music. She brings joy and happiness to so many. Had the radio on Fox all day Saturday as they played her music.
Nah ■■■■ that we don’t need joy and happiness. You should only like what we musical purists say you should like.

She had the Southern Stand shaking on its foundations.
She sold 96,000 tickets and there was Still a sizeable crowd outside the venue singing every word.
I don’t care if it’s not for you.
It’s not for me, either.
But to diminish that…
To pretend it’s nothing.
To call these tens of thousands of people idiots.
To bemoan live updates exactly as would have would have happened for a Grand Final, which this was bigger than.
To tear down the artist who by all accounts gave a flawless performance.
It’s.
Just.
Weird.

That was just for her first night
Hitler would have done the same thing back in the day in Berlin.

Did it three times as well. Probably could have done it a dozen times and it would have been a sell out each time.

I mean you clearly don’t.
I’m glad you raised this point.
You can block someone. Cool, cool, cool.
But that does Not stop the weird freaking stalker from posting under everything you say, does it.
You can tell people to Stop.
But some weirdos just Won’t be told.
They will continue with their sick obsession.
So…Yes.
I check the filth you post directly under my posts.
Because blocking is fine, but it denies a right of reply.
I’ll tell you again.
AGAIN.
Stop.
Especially when your contribution to the conversation is comparing Swift to Hitler.
But even if not.
Please.
Stop.
There are So many posters on this site.
Choose another one to fixate on you literal sick Fark.
