Just watched "Miss Americana" (Taylor Swift)

[orangecrush]

With the S.O..

Aside from the good natured ribbing from my partner -Taylor offered a kid fan a hug, "orangecrush wants a hug too! Don't you, orangecrush?" I really knew little about her, even that she was from my state.

I highly recommend watching.

She saw what happened to the Dixie Chicks, and was angry, but under heavy pressure to be quiet.

When it came to Marsha Blackburn, she spoke out, taking a huge risk.

And by speaking against Trump put a target on her back.

I was amazed at the depth of what I used to think of as a rather shallow pop singer.

I was quite mistaken.

Catch it if you can, it's worth it.

1. I tried telling everyone,

Trump/Magats fear Taylor Swift because she can lead a movement of young voters to the polling booths.

She must have guts because she surely knows what is coming.

2. I only knew her from appearances on Graham Norton (YouTube) --

check them out, she's very funny and intelligent. (I agree about Miss Americana.)

9. Thank you

I will check it out!

3. Is that a movie? Where is it playing or streamed?

4. It's on Netflix.

I highly recommend it as well. It’s entertaining and gave me an insight to a thoughtful, intelligent young woman who has turned into a juggernaut in our culture and rightly so.

5. Thx. I rarely have time for Netflix and have recently thought I should just drop it.

But I'll look for that. Am warming up to Taylor Swift, the woman, but still not a big fan of her music....

7. I wasn't a fan before seeing this

But it changed my perception.

12. Was a time I wasn't either. On a friend's suggestion I bought folklore and spent some time with

the cd and my headphones. I was surprised how much I liked this album.

6. Believe it was Netflix.

8. Thank you!

I'm offended by people's snobby knee-jerk assumptions that entertainers and artists are idiots without even bothering to find out about the person. Who do they think they are and why do they think they're better than anyone else? Ugh.
