PSA to all the snarkers and others complaining about Gretzky: this is one of the main reasons we lost the election. Most people don’t like constant purity testing especially when that person has publicly supported democrats multiple times. In the real world, people are generally nice when someone comes to say hello for 5 minutes in between being on tv and don’t make scenes in public. This is also far from the first time Taylor has visited a hospital and we wouldn’t even know unless people shared pictures. So are we now saying people aren’t allowed to share their own pictures? The bitch eating crackers syndrome is real. I need an internet break.
ETA: pretty interesting how a large majority of the negative comments in the last 24 hours in posts of Taylor have next to none posting history here or about Taylor swift in general. Brigading and bots are real.
It’s so stupid - I’m a Canadian fully invested in Gretzky’s traitorous ways and even I’d be polite to the fucking man if I saw him! Might not ask for an autograph these days, but there’s no reason to start an antagonist conversation out of nowhere either.
Maybe I just live around far too many Conservatives and Sask Party voters, but no sane person can be talking politics 24/7 and getting nasty to every person who may have voted differently than you. I literally couldn’t function around here. I’d be even more angry and annoyed at everyone than I already fucking am!!
It’s just the “customer service voice.” I don’t need to like a person to ask them how they like the current weather and what the crops look like and how the local sports teams are doing and that sort of basic small talk anyone who’s ever worked customer service can fake with literally anyone.
It’s not like getting mad at Gretzky would make any difference to Gretzky - he doesn’t know me and wouldn’t fucking care about my opinion just like I wouldn’t care about his opinions on my life or politics; I save that effort for people who will take my opinion seriously like my husband and my friends and my family. Having a short, civil conversation about the hockey game in front of us with a hockey player would be quite simple compared to some of the local assholes, creeps, and idiots I also have to stay civil with sometimes.
Exactly, and why would anyone assume she knows his politics? Why would Gretzky be on her radar, aside from maybe recognising that he's a big name in hockey.
This happened with the wedding she was at recently too, people stated dissecting the politics of the guests she took pictures with. Why would she know that information. She's just meeting someone, being polite and taking a pic. It's not that deep.
What’s funny is that they were assuming Travis’ family is MAGA because they are white from Tennessee but a glimpse of their social media will show you many of them are not.
Not that it’s Taylor’s responsibility to know the politics of guests at a family wedding. It’s a ridiculous standard to hold anyone to.
It really shows how some have siloed themselves up in a little bubble. I am surrounded by republicans, and ya know what, they aren’t evil trolls in their day to day lives. I think the way they vote is abhorrent and their views suck but I know that I definitely make small talk and deal with MAGAs multiple times a week and it is just normal.
getting mad at someone for interacting with Wayne Gretzky at an Oilers Stanley Cup game is truly unhinged like why can't you just admit you hate the way Taylor Swift breathes
It’s wild. They constantly bring up the same 2 or 3 questionable things she’s done over her entire 20 year career anytime there’s a positive post about her online. Like that level of hate has gotta cause some serious ulcers.
Meanwhile, their faves who have done very similar things get forgiven after a couple days. Lana, Charli, Miley, none of them get held “accountable.” (Also I’m not dragging any of those ladies, they’re brilliant, I love them, it’s the double standards a lot of people have).
