@30700d9a ahh, this was nuance i didn't know. interesting! I see what you are saying. yeah, i am not a football fan at all, and i *maybe* could pick out a Swift song if i had to. I honestly never paid attention to her before (wasn't she a country hit maker at first? that was probably part of it). Anyway, now she's *everywhere*! 

 @c837cef5 She’s on this massive worldwide tour right now so she’s definitely everywhere. Her “boyfriend” is on the team that won the Super Bowl last year. So, it’s like a collision of cultures. 

 @30700d9a wow, yeah, that must be a dream mashup... catnip for media of all kinds. 

 @c837cef5 They mostly just want to hate on it all. They smell blood in the water. 

 @c837cef5 Forget all the hype. Listen to this song. Yes, she does all this pop stuff and dances around in her underwear, but she also sings shit like this:

 @30700d9a see -- you had me at Bon Iver ❤️ 

 @c837cef5 And The National. 

 @30700d9a The National, hell yeah!

You couldn’t pay me to go to a live show, but she’s turned me around on her skills as a songwriter.

 @30700d9a ...grumblemumble... ok... i like all this. it's *so much better* than the poppy stuff i've heard from her. ...FINE, she can stay. but she better get the kids to vote! 

 @c837cef5 That’s the hope. 

 @c837cef5 You can still hate football. 

 @c837cef5 I didn’t want to like her either.
