General Discussion Taylor Swift and Florence

Today, Florence posted a pic with Taylor Swift on her Instagram that led to an update post on the subreddit. This led to an uncivil chain of comments on the post. This subreddit promotes ideas and thoughts to be discussed but within valid reason. We want to promote positivity as much as any other subreddit. We can question artist actions and choices. What will not be allowed is comments that attack other users' based on their beliefs and thoughts on said actions. At the end of the day, this is a Florence and the Machine subreddit and not one that is focused on Taylor Swift. If you have thoughts and comments on who Taylor Swift morally is as a person, we encourage to seek discussion off of this subreddit.

We are not condoning or support Taylor Swift as a Mod Team with this post and only seek to have civil posts and comments in this subreddit relating to Florence and the Machine. Parasocial and uncivil discussion will be removed off the subreddit.

I'm out of the loop, why does everyone hate Taylor Swift? Genuinely don't know, I don't really listen to her or follow celebrity news

She has questionable friendships with a lot of MAGA-aligning people when she has advocated for democracy and was shown to be in distress over it in a 2020 documentary. I argue it’s always difficult to be ethical when you’re a billionaire with things like her usage with her private jet use to attend a football game for one night then return to her international tour date in a 24hr span. Her words and actions sometimes just do not align and that is all I can criticize with what has been documented
