Hopefully this doesn't get deleted because I sure as hell can't post anywhere else about her unless it's mindnumbing blind agreement with everyone else.

Anyway I just saw live coverage of her NFL boyfriend landing in Sydney. Professional journalists who have interviewed our country's leaders are watching his plane land. Sitting around talking about it. This is live news.

This goes WAY beyond enjoying her music. I don't know what this is anymore. It felt like as a society we were moving away from celebrity worship. This has lost touch of reality. What's weird is everyone going along with it? I feel like I'm in a movie where everyone gets infected and I'm going to be the last person alive. Movie ends with me dancing mindlessly to Shake it Off, my eyeballs completely white. Roll credits.

Maybe a Swifty can explain this phenomenon to me because this level of worship would be ridiculed for just about any other celebrity. I didn't even know Pink and Blink 182 were here too, they've gotten so little media coverage.

EDIT: Thanks mods for not deleting this. Third different sub I tried. Happy that the Melbourne sub allows some discussion! Saving me from any Donald Sutherland in Body Snatchers assumptions.

It's like Beatlesmania. Just let people have their moment. I promise the news will be back to showing culture war bullshit soon enough.

Prefer to see what's really happening in the world, rather than when Taylor swifts fuckin jet lands.

Plenty of other news out there that could be covered, but nope they choose useless information that literally has 0 meaning on anyone's life.

Who watches TV anyway, are you 50?

[u/zenswxrld → u/FruitJuicante]

You know the news is covered everywhere not just TV right?

Social media etc.

[u/b0rtbort → u/zenswxrld]

you know those other things are being covered right? that's how you know about them, after all.
