Taylor's Exes Yes I'm bringing up the taylor x matty fiasco again, what are your thoughts on the backlash taylor received for the relationship with hindsight?
More specifically the backlash taylor received that WASN'T just swifties being sad she broke up with joe. And by that I mean people being upset at her for being with matty because of his questionable actions. Which I remember specifically he was getting extra flack on his weird behaviour towards black women specifically (his weird comments about ice spice, and him admitting to getting off to porn that humiliated black women).
Now personally I hate to admit it but I was one of the many people that were upset she broke up with joe, so yeah my thoughts were very much clouded at the time. But now as I've become a lot less attached to her personal life I can see some validity to why people were upset at her at the time.
On one hand I do think it's wrong to hold taylor accountable for his actions because it's HIS actions not hers. But on the other hand deciding to be with him even though that info was public and only being mad at him because he ghosted you was definitely... a choice. I don't think that we should still hold this over her head but I also think you're not wrong for finding this iffy.
What are you thoughts?
