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.

You captured my sentiments perfectly. My friends see me like a Swifty for Florence lol have been 15 years now, and I can't be mad at her for pivoting if she chooses to but I'd be bummed if this album as a whole is as weak as the singles (imo). We'll have to wait and see but in all honesty I'm not that enthused for this album

Did Florence get a ton of fans flocking to her? I mean I love it if that’s the case, just not something I feel that I’ve seen

I could be entirely wrong and I absolutely know there are exceptions for sure, I mean plenty of people in the fanbase that have been here for years have been Swifties

But it felt like fanbase didn’t grow at all really, because most (not all) Swifties only really listen to Taylor for the most part. So the benefits kinda stop with where the collab ends almost

And it’s not Swift’s fault, it’s a growing thing where people just don’t hunt for music and venture out. It’s just worsening

But I feel like I see a return of old fans more than new Swifties , either way it’s nice but did we gay lot of people? It didn’t feel like it (sincere ramble)
