The movie made $96M this weekend. Not bad for limited showings.

The theater we were at was doing shows every 30 minutes starting at 6pm (no earlier shows than 6pm were allowed anywhere - part of the limited showings).

Wins Time's Person of the Year.

Seems like a no brainer. Love her or hate her, nobody generated more interest this year.

Can't argue. Especially not in my household.

I couldn't name a single song of hers aside from "Three Sad Virgins."

I do not understand the hate for Swift, aside from fragile male egos to see a woman whose young and beautiful become uber successful.

I further do not understand anyone that thinks, "Let's bad mouth her because that will go well for us."

I think it's getting blown up. .5% of people who have an opinion does not mean "rage against taylor swift." It's the same .5% of mentally ill people everywhere.

BUT.... it's something for the DNC PR peeps to latch on to.

Identity Bit would fix this.

I agree it's a smaller percentage of people than what you're lead to believe. There are people who benefit from pushing particular messages, and they're going to push them.

That being said, I do see guys bashing her from time to time on my feed, and I just laugh at their stupidity.

"She sucks and her music is terrible."

Here's a woman who plays multiple instruments, writes her own songs, sings, and has turned that into over $1B dollars. She did it while getting groomed by a predator and being taken advantage of by music industry scum. Oh, and her library is vast, contains multiple hits, and her songs don't all sound the same. Yep, sounds like she's just awful.

Why don't these jackasses just say, "She's not for me."

Respect must be given when due or the lack of respect says everything about you.

I couldn't name and wouldn't recognize a single song she sings. But she's making bank and has a shitload of fans so she must be doing something right.

My guilty pleasure was always Madonna. I know to not throw stones.

Identity Bit would not only make it easier to recognize the paid shills, but it would also allow you to block that .5% of insane people. The entire world would become brighter overnight.

IB FTW.

Madonna has some awesome songs. She's also a narcissist who can't accept that her time is gone. One of my best Pandora stations is "Madonna Radio" I created for my wife, but I've cultivated it into a pretty great 80s/90s station. Just because she's batshit now doesn't mean her talent gets erased.

Michael Jackson was so talented that the majority of people would admit he was very likely a pedo, yet they can't help but sing along and move to most of his songs.

As for Swift, I have three daughters and a wife, so I've heard a lot of her music. (Catt's going to relate.) She has some excellent songs, and some I could do without. Right now in my phone's playlist, courtesy of my daughters, are "Epiphany", "All of the Girls" (my fav of her songs), "The Lakes", and "...Are you Ready". All good songs, but none of them sound alike. Epiphany and The Lakes are the closest, but the other two sound nothing like the rest. Taylor definitely isn't AC/DC.

I'll probably recognize her when the next Girl Talk album comes out.

Assuming Swift's people don't instantly sue him out of existence.

I think Girl Talk stopped doing albums. Last one was a decade ago?

She announced a new album last night.

I knew immediately because I had a crying (with happiness) teenage girl run downstairs to inform me and Twitter immediately exploded.

What do Taylor Swift and Elon Musk have in common?

Uh oh.

I predict a change in the tracking rules.

I think if I were super rich I'd have three private train cars taking me everywhere, ala Carol Tunt.

I have tried repeatedly to get Taylor Swift tickets, and failed. I've enlisted friends, relatives, etc. Nothing.

Marriott offered 2 tickets for 500,000 Marriott points, starting at Noon today. I logged in, refreshed, refreshed, refreshed... and got them!

Yeah, it's absurd to spend 500,000 points on this ($ value estimated around $3,500 for those points). But aftermarket tickets were $2,500 PER TICKET for decent views ($2,000 for obstructed views). Hotels were ridiculous, and this package includes: 2 nights at the W South Beach (oceanfront, $1,500 a night during this time because of hotel demand for the shows), 1 dinner, 2 breakfasts, 2 massages, and a visit to a beauty salon the day of the show.

Friend of mine flew his WHOLE family of 6 to Scotland to see TS there because it was cheaper to fly + hotels and get after-market tickets in Scotland than it was to do it in Miami.

Gave it to my wife and youngest, and they're ecstatic.
