Swift bullying simply makes no sense

Around here there's been plenty of anti-Taylor Swift stuff being shared on social media via derisive memes and such.

I honestly don't get why so many seem OK with spouting such hatred for her.

She has absolutely zero control of how much camera time the NFL and network camera operators give her during games.

It's pretty apparent that she seems to genuinely like a guy who is playing the sport at a very high level, and one would expect her to want to support him as he plays by attending the games he's in.

If they were up to no good, out committing crimes together, social media would absolutely glorify them and memes would call her his “Ride Or Die” ... Yes, we've all seen that so you know it's true.

Unfortunately, far too many now use the bully pulpit of social media to be … well … exactly that. Bullies.

As to Taylor, I also distinctly recall, years ago, Madonna, Brittney Spears, Miley Cyrus, the list goes on and on, of women who made it big, only to be berated and insulted, having their names and reputations besmirched by pettiness and outright jealousy of their fame and fortune.

I said it years ago about Madonna: She was absolutely an expert at marketing herself to her fan base and appealing to them.

Taylor is the same.

When a guy like Sir Paul McCartney says she's got the songwriting and performing talent that only comes around once in a generation, then I will say I am betting he knows of what he speaks.

For those sharing hate and posting all of the outright jealousy of her success (and yes, if you admit it, deep down, that's exactly what it is), you'll see, hating her just for the sake of hating her with no basis in reason, says a lot more about you, than it does about her.

Like her music or not, she's certainly a truly talented songwriter and performer, and no amount of social media bullying is going to change that fact.
