Dear middle-aged white dudes: you don't actually need to begin your every comment about Taylor Swift with "I don't like her music, but".
We know. We know.
What is this, "no homo" for Billy Joel fans?
Also, you need not reply to this with your "not all middle-aged white dudes" take.
@jwz I don't like his music, but Goodbye Saigon, Uptown Girl, and Piano Man were classics. <j/k>
@jwz I lol'd. Literally.
@jwz But ... I do like her music. After I heard she re-recorded and release her early albums to get back at her record company, I got really curious.
For context, I'm pretty much out of touch with pop music, with just a few exceptions (like Carly Rae Jepson), so I bought a couple of the Taylor's Version albums from her site. Lots of good songs on Forward and Red.
"22" is a pop anthem I didn't know they made any more.
Having "We are never, ever, ever getting back together" followed by "Stay Stay Stay" sounds like a sly joke.
@jwz I mean, it pretty much IS no-homo. like, they think there's something fruity about a man liking pop music.
@jwz I really like her music, but I couldn't get tickets for her concert in Stockholm. :( #middleAged
@jwz I'm a middle aged (old, really...) white dude and I think she is kinda cool!
Hot too! But much too young for me! (it would have been weird...)
@jwz Sorry!
@jwz Oh thank god I felt like the only person noticing this.
@jwz for whatever reason this remark made me end up with L7 and the tankgirl soundtrack
@jwz All I know is when I hear a pop song I don't hate, Shazam usually tells me it's Taylor Swift.
@jwz who's Taylor Swift ?
@jwz good luck getting a middle aged white dude to shut up
@jwz
I liked one of her songs as an experiment, in college
@jwz I don't get the Billy Joel reference. Clue me in, pretty please?
@jwz I'm planning to listen to some of her stuff tomorrow because I've honestly forgotten whether or not I like it.
@jwz Now they have two problems.
@jwz Billy Joel fans are more than middle-aged.
