When
I first started writing about Taylor Swift, I remember
everyone sang her
praises. People were highly complimentary of the rising country star.
Nowadays it isn't the same. People are
critical and no longer enamored. Why? Because of how Taylor handles her relationships with men.
Sure, she’s
wealthy. Her music is appealing. But, the public mostly identifies her
as a woman who rushes into relationships only to later pen songs about
heartache. The tune is all too familiar and over-played.
Don't let texting ruin your dating life!
Additionally,
two other things stood out today. The obvious is the news about
how Taylor and Conor Kennedy broke up. Like all celebrity couples who
split, her rep said it was scheduling issues. Other sources said,
though, Conor was overwhelmed at how fast it was all moving.
Given
Taylor was willing to fly Conor to see her, I find it difficult to
believe scheduling was the problem. I think it was all of the
antiquing they did while Conor was trying to study and enjoy his
first year in college. Taylor was coming on so strong with the Kennedy’s
that I see Conor being freaked out more so than an issue with
coordinating calendars.
Taylor went on Ellen DeGeneres' show today to promote her new album. Ellen put up slides
of Taylor ’s ex’s so they could discern who “We Are Never Ever Getting
Back Together” is about. When asked to give hints about who it is, Taylor shouted, “But I don’t want to! I don’t want to! They’ll
send angry emails and I don’t want to get them.”
As the slideshow continued, she screamed, “Stop it, stop it, stop! This makes me
feel so bad about myself. Every time I come here you put a different
dude up on the screen. It just makes me question what I stand for as a
human being.”

Boom.
I
know Ellen didn’t mean to upset Taylor. Ellen doesn’t have a mean bone
in her body. Yet, I’m glad she did the ex-boyfriend slide show because
it made Taylor introspective. I think she's beginning to see what we do and that is how one-dimensional she seems. Taylor obviously has a reputation for singing about the sadness men have caused her. In fact, it's to such a degree that people tease her about it on their shows. Taylor shouted on Ellen, but what else does she give people to discuss?
The
same is true for women who only want to talk about their relationships.
Even a best friend might find her patience growing thin and is clawing
at the walls to talk about something else. The problem with having a
one-dimensional friend is that you don’t want to hurt her feelings, yet
you cringe when the phone rings. So, you avoid her all together.
In
my last post about Taylor, I repeated her words about how she refuses
to follow any rules in love. As an alternative, I suggested she try
using the word “boundaries” to see if that's more palatable. Maybe
her time has come to do some soul searching and figure out her identity
outside of men.
Until next time…
Shine like Platinum!
