"title": "Why Does Katy Perry Find Interviews So Very, Very Difficult?",
"headTitle": "KQED Pop | KQED Arts",
"content": "\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.katyperry.com/\">Katy Perry\u003c/a> may sound meaningful as hell when she's telling the downtrodden they are \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGJuMBdaqIw\">metaphorical fireworks\u003c/a>, but over the years, the pop star has repeatedly struggled during interviews with both articulating, and not contradicting, herself. Sometimes, it seems like Perry's mouth starts moving before she's figured out what point she's trying to make, and the results are baffling on fairly regular occasions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most recent example emerged this week in an interview with \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://ew.com/music/2017/05/08/katy-perry-new-album/?xid=entertainment-weekly_socialflow_twitter\">Entertainment Weekly\u003c/a>, \u003c/em>in which Perry was asked whether or not her new album would include a \"reaction\" to Taylor Swift's \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcIy9NiNbmo\">Bad Blood\u003c/a>\" (a song widely purported to be about Perry attempting to wreck a T. Swift tour via the medium of dancer theft). Perry's response to this relatively straightforward question was quite literally amazing. She tried to answer the question, while not answering it, while also attempting to deflect, while also God Bless and also nuh-uh, honey! This thing needs to be read to be believed:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Well that’s not my question to answer — if it’s about me. I think [my new album is] a very empowered record. There is no one thing that’s calling out any one person. One thing to note is: You can’t mistake kindness for weakness and don’t come for me. Anyone. Anyone. Anyone. Anyone. And that’s not to any one person and don’t quote me that it is, because it’s not. It’s not about that. Honestly, when women come together and they decide to unite, this world is going to be a better place. Period end of story. But, let me say this: Everything has a reaction or a consequence so don’t forget about that, okay, honey. [Laughs] We got to keep it real, honey. This record is not about anyone else! This record is about me being seen and heard so that I can see and hear everyone else! It’s not even about me! It’s about everything that I see out there that I digest. I think there’s a healing in it for me and vulnerability. If people want to connect and be healed and feel vulnerable and feel empowered and strong, God bless and here it is.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>This isn't the first time Katy Perry has answered a question in a manner that made little to no sense. Back in 2013, in an \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?storyId=240760441\">interview with NPR\u003c/a>, Perry criticized other pop stars for getting naked, while also recalling that she too gets naked sometimes, but not really, and she will take her clothes off one day, but only when she's desperate and old, but the reason she can't right now is because she doesn't have the body for it and... What the hell was she trying to say here again?\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Like females in pop -- everybody's getting naked. I mean, I've been naked before but I don't feel like I have to always get naked to be noticed. But it's interesting to see... I'm not talking about anyone in particular. I'm talking about all of them. I mean, it's like everybody's so naked. It's like put it away. We know you've got it. I got it too. I've taken it off for -- I've taken it out here and there. And I'm not necessarily judging. I'm just saying sometimes it's nice to play that card but also it's nice to play other cards. And I know I have that sexy card in my deck but I don't always have to use that card. Maybe when I’m 35 I will. I don’t need to do it now, because I’ve got great songs. If I get super-desperate, maybe I will then…”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>It's not over yet! Perry \u003ca href=\"http://www.nme.com/news/music/katy-perry-57-1237134#QyHSGV96RHIJfc8u.99\">went on\u003c/a>: “Actually, I did take all my clothes off for \u003cem>Teenage Dream\u003c/em>. I was on a cotton-candy cloud, showing my… back. I don’t have the body for it. If I had like, Rihanna’s body, I’d take my clothes off. But I don’t. I just hide my body in a way where you think I have it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nothing to see here!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F57P9C4SAW4\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later that same year, in \u003ca href=\"http://www.marieclaire.com/celebrity/a8596/katy-perry-interview-january-cover/\">\u003cem>Marie Claire\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, Perry tried her darnedest to express her religious beliefs (which apparently encompass nothing and everything simultaneously), and somehow made her belief in God about the fact that other people are scared of saying no to her, because she's a celebrity:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"I believe in a higher power bigger than me because that keeps me accountable. Accountability is rare to find, especially with people like myself, because nobody wants to tell you something you don't want to hear. I actually don't trust people who start to turn on me because they get scared of telling me the truth. I'm not Buddhist, I'm not Hindu, I'm not Christian, but I still feel like I have a deep connection with God.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>It's a side note, but that \"deep connection with God\" got Perry into \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-39650913\">extremely hot water\u003c/a> with Hindus around the globe last month, when she posted \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BTDJ-gkD2HC/\">this image\u003c/a> of the Goddess Kali to her \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/katyperry/\">Instagram page\u003c/a>, with the caption \"current mood.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-79891\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/KP-Goddess-800x1123.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1123\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, sometimes it's the shortest of sentences that cause Perry the biggest headaches. Like in February, on the Grammy's red carpet, when she talked about shaving her head -- clearly referencing Britney Spears' \u003ca href=\"http://www.nickiswift.com/13904/britney-spears-breakdown-even-scarier-thought/\">2007 breakdown\u003c/a> -- twice. She \u003ca href=\"http://www.nme.com/news/music/britney-spears-responds-to-katy-perrys-mental-health-joke-1975330\">told Ryan Seacrest\u003c/a> that taking a break between records was \"Fantastic. And I haven’t shaved my head yet.” That same night, Perry also declared: \"The only thing left to do is shave my head, which I’m really saving for a public breakdown.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.katyperry.com/\">Katy Perry\u003c/a> may sound meaningful as hell when she's telling the downtrodden they are \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGJuMBdaqIw\">metaphorical fireworks\u003c/a>, but over the years, the pop star has repeatedly struggled during interviews with both articulating, and not contradicting, herself. Sometimes, it seems like Perry's mouth starts moving before she's figured out what point she's trying to make, and the results are baffling on fairly regular occasions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most recent example emerged this week in an interview with \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://ew.com/music/2017/05/08/katy-perry-new-album/?xid=entertainment-weekly_socialflow_twitter\">Entertainment Weekly\u003c/a>, \u003c/em>in which Perry was asked whether or not her new album would include a \"reaction\" to Taylor Swift's \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcIy9NiNbmo\">Bad Blood\u003c/a>\" (a song widely purported to be about Perry attempting to wreck a T. Swift tour via the medium of dancer theft). Perry's response to this relatively straightforward question was quite literally amazing. She tried to answer the question, while not answering it, while also attempting to deflect, while also God Bless and also nuh-uh, honey! This thing needs to be read to be believed:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Well that’s not my question to answer — if it’s about me. I think [my new album is] a very empowered record. There is no one thing that’s calling out any one person. One thing to note is: You can’t mistake kindness for weakness and don’t come for me. Anyone. Anyone. Anyone. Anyone. And that’s not to any one person and don’t quote me that it is, because it’s not. It’s not about that. Honestly, when women come together and they decide to unite, this world is going to be a better place. Period end of story. But, let me say this: Everything has a reaction or a consequence so don’t forget about that, okay, honey. [Laughs] We got to keep it real, honey. This record is not about anyone else! This record is about me being seen and heard so that I can see and hear everyone else! It’s not even about me! It’s about everything that I see out there that I digest. I think there’s a healing in it for me and vulnerability. If people want to connect and be healed and feel vulnerable and feel empowered and strong, God bless and here it is.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>This isn't the first time Katy Perry has answered a question in a manner that made little to no sense. Back in 2013, in an \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?storyId=240760441\">interview with NPR\u003c/a>, Perry criticized other pop stars for getting naked, while also recalling that she too gets naked sometimes, but not really, and she will take her clothes off one day, but only when she's desperate and old, but the reason she can't right now is because she doesn't have the body for it and... What the hell was she trying to say here again?\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Like females in pop -- everybody's getting naked. I mean, I've been naked before but I don't feel like I have to always get naked to be noticed. But it's interesting to see... I'm not talking about anyone in particular. I'm talking about all of them. I mean, it's like everybody's so naked. It's like put it away. We know you've got it. I got it too. I've taken it off for -- I've taken it out here and there. And I'm not necessarily judging. I'm just saying sometimes it's nice to play that card but also it's nice to play other cards. And I know I have that sexy card in my deck but I don't always have to use that card. Maybe when I’m 35 I will. I don’t need to do it now, because I’ve got great songs. If I get super-desperate, maybe I will then…”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>It's not over yet! Perry \u003ca href=\"http://www.nme.com/news/music/katy-perry-57-1237134#QyHSGV96RHIJfc8u.99\">went on\u003c/a>: “Actually, I did take all my clothes off for \u003cem>Teenage Dream\u003c/em>. I was on a cotton-candy cloud, showing my… back. I don’t have the body for it. If I had like, Rihanna’s body, I’d take my clothes off. But I don’t. I just hide my body in a way where you think I have it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nothing to see here!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Accountability is rare to find, especially with people like myself, because nobody wants to tell you something you don't want to hear. I actually don't trust people who start to turn on me because they get scared of telling me the truth. I'm not Buddhist, I'm not Hindu, I'm not Christian, but I still feel like I have a deep connection with God.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>It's a side note, but that \"deep connection with God\" got Perry into \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-39650913\">extremely hot water\u003c/a> with Hindus around the globe last month, when she posted \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BTDJ-gkD2HC/\">this image\u003c/a> of the Goddess Kali to her \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/katyperry/\">Instagram page\u003c/a>, with the caption \"current mood.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-79891\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/KP-Goddess-800x1123.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1123\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, sometimes it's the shortest of sentences that cause Perry the biggest headaches. Like in February, on the Grammy's red carpet, when she talked about shaving her head -- clearly referencing Britney Spears' \u003ca href=\"http://www.nickiswift.com/13904/britney-spears-breakdown-even-scarier-thought/\">2007 breakdown\u003c/a> -- twice. She \u003ca href=\"http://www.nme.com/news/music/britney-spears-responds-to-katy-perrys-mental-health-joke-1975330\">told Ryan Seacrest\u003c/a> that taking a break between records was \"Fantastic. And I haven’t shaved my head yet.” That same night, Perry also declared: \"The only thing left to do is shave my head, which I’m really saving for a public breakdown. I’m down for that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Incidentally, this is what Katy Perry's haircut looks like on the cover of her \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH9ilfAZHOs\">new single\u003c/a>.

"content": "\u003cp>It's an unfortunate facet of pop culture idolatry that the most dedicated fans -- the ones who start all-caps Facebook comment wars, those who physically follow the subjects of their devotion on the road just to scream about them in large groups -- sometimes actually end up ruining their idols for everyone else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether it's the sheer volume of the yelling or some other distasteful attribute, the aura (if you will) of their rabid fandom can actually distract to the point that it overshadows the beloved person or entity; it becomes difficult to judge or discuss the figure at hand's true qualities without taking into account the unpleasantness of his or her most fervent followers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most recently visible instance of this, of course, is the worst of the Bernie Bros -- Sanders supporters whose penchant for \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/JrGlaUo4JEE\" target=\"_blank\">misogyny and verbal abuse\u003c/a> have all but drowned out actual discourse about the candidate's policies. Another, perhaps less weighty example: Juggalos. Does anyone know if ICP's music is any good? I honestly can't recall a time I've purposefully listened to it. I'm pretty sure I don't like it, but at this point that's hard to separate from the approximately 500,000 terrible associations I already have with \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2010/aug/18/insane-clown-posse\" target=\"_blank\">their fanbase\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, friends, this is an exciting day: A bar has been lowered; a new archetype cemented. Let May 24, 2016 go down in history as the day we learned about the \u003ca href=\"https://broadly.vice.com/en_us/article/cant-shake-it-off-how-taylor-swift-became-a-nazi-idol\" target=\"_blank\">neo-Nazis who are also die-hard Swifties\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, \u003ca href=\"https://broadly.vice.com/en_us/article/cant-shake-it-off-how-taylor-swift-became-a-nazi-idol\" target=\"_blank\">according to Broadly\u003c/a>, \"Nazis and members of the 'alt right' — an Internet subculture that is best described as the venn diagram of hipster culture and white supremacy — have been spreading a conspiracy theory that [Taylor] Swift is a covert Nazi.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Firstly, Taylor Swift is a pure Aryan goddess, like something out of classical Greek poetry. Athena reborn. That's the most important thing,\" explains Andre Anglin, the writer of the white supremacist blog \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailystormer.com/\">the Daily Stormer\u003c/a>. \"It is also an established fact that Taylor Swift is secretly a Nazi and is simply waiting for the time when Donald Trump makes it safe for her to come out and announce her Aryan agenda to the world.

Another, perhaps less weighty example: Juggalos. Does anyone know if ICP's music is any good? I honestly can't recall a time I've purposefully listened to it. I'm pretty sure I don't like it, but at this point that's hard to separate from the approximately 500,000 terrible associations I already have with \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2010/aug/18/insane-clown-posse\" target=\"_blank\">their fanbase\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, friends, this is an exciting day: A bar has been lowered; a new archetype cemented.

"content": "\u003cp>The first time I saw Emily Heller's sweetly acerbic, totally self-deprecating, 100 percent hilarious standup, it was in 2013, with her debut on \u003cem>Conan -- \u003c/em>and at the risk of sounding over-the-top, it felt triumphant. This was pre-\u003cem>Broad City\u003c/em>, mind you; regular girls who were dorky, smoked weed, and called the world like they saw it were not exactly the talk of the televised town.\u003cbr>\n[contextly_sidebar id=\"29btwdHV680jjo2JVHeQiJPsq7xq7Cgd\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fast forward just three years, and Heller, an Alameda native and UC Santa Cruz alum who now lives in LA, is enjoying a well-deserved rise to fame. Her acting and writing credits include \u003cem>Inside Amy Schumer, Chelsea Lately, BoJack Horseman, Ground Floor \u003c/em>and more, while her first album, \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://emilyheller.bandcamp.com/album/good-for-her\" target=\"_blank\">Good For Her\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, was released by Kill Rockstars in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heller returns home to do three nights at the Punch Line in San Francisco next week, March 17 - 19, as she has many times before, for the club's slate of all-female lineups for Women's History Month. So we called her up to chat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1gRMTFZLSY\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED Pop:\u003c/strong> Happy Women’s History Month! How are you celebrating?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Emily Heller:\u003c/strong> Thank you! Well, it’s one of those things where like, there’s not a Women’s History Month \u003cem>festival\u003c/em>, right? Lilith Fair is in the summer, so I don’t know what the other traditions are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I mean, look, it’s the broadest category in the world, it’s half the people on the planet. But the Punch Line show...it is nice, as a comedian, that Women’s History Month is there once a year to say “Hey, here’s a way to market this.” It's great that they do all-women features. I think a lot of people don’t like all-female lineups, but I can say that as a performer, nothing makes me feel like women onstage are diverse than having us be the only ones up there. Because you do get kind of freed from feeling like you’re representing your gender, which can happen when you’re the only female comic in a lineup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You have \u003ca href=\"http://www.cc.com/video-clips/zv6u26/john-oliver-s-new-york-stand-up-show-feminism-is-not-very-fun\" target=\"_blank\">a bit on the album about feminism\u003c/a> and its marketing problem, and I know you've been doing it for a while. I’m curious if and how that joke has changed over the years?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I wrote that joke, I wasn’t thinking about ‘Oh, I’m gonna talk about something that’s gonna be really divisive.’ I had just started standup, just moved to San Francisco after being at UC Santa Cruz, and the thought didn’t cross my mind that talking about [feminism] would be weird to anyone. It is interesting, because in the years since I first started telling that joke, it’s gotten harder and harder to perform it, and that’s great, because it’s a joke that contends with people having trouble with the idea of feminism. It’s getting destigmatized by our culture now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mph1plzp1_Y\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You did an installment of \u003ca href=\"http://www.avclub.com/article/emily-heller-taylor-swifts-slut-shaming-you-belong-227958\" target=\"_blank\">The \u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"http://www.avclub.com/article/emily-heller-taylor-swifts-slut-shaming-you-belong-227958\" target=\"_blank\">AV Club’s HateSong\u003c/a>, where you talked about how Taylor Swift’s “You Belong With Me” drives you crazy. Because it’s Taylor Swift, and because it’s the Internet, I’m assuming you got a ton of sh*t for that?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I got \u003cem>so\u003c/em> much sh*t for that. I’m less careful with my words in a phone interview than I am in person, so I felt kinda bad about the way some things were worded. Having said that, I still think that song is, like, brutally anti-feminist. I do hate it for that reason. \u003cem>That\u003c/em> said, I do sing along to it when it comes on, and I do love that she’s giving Kesha money right now. I love that feminism is now a commercially viable position for pop stars to take.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So what did you hear from the Swifties?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oh, they came after me on Instagram. They came after me on Twitter. One of them pretended to be me on Twitter -- they started a fake Emily Heller Twitter account, and it was very confusing because they kept switching from speaking in the first person to the third person. I got them suspended so I can’t look it up, and I don’t remember the exact wording but it was, like, stuff about how I’ll s**k a d**k for 25 cents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Wow.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[Laughs.] Yeah. It was tight. I was like, wow, they really nailed my brand. How is anyone gonna know this isn’t me?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you have a thick skin for that kind of thing, having been in the public eye for a bit now? It seems like an unfortunate reality for women whose work is on the Internet. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No, I’m a sensitive little flower. I mean, I act kinda tough, and I know objectively that most people on the Internet are doing an impression of themselves at their worst, so I know better than to take it seriously.

This was pre-\u003cem>Broad City\u003c/em>, mind you; regular girls who were dorky, smoked weed, and called the world like they saw it were not exactly the talk of the televised town.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fast forward just three years, and Heller, an Alameda native and UC Santa Cruz alum who now lives in LA, is enjoying a well-deserved rise to fame. Her acting and writing credits include \u003cem>Inside Amy Schumer, Chelsea Lately, BoJack Horseman, Ground Floor \u003c/em>and more, while her first album, \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://emilyheller.bandcamp.com/album/good-for-her\" target=\"_blank\">Good For Her\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, was released by Kill Rockstars in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heller returns home to do three nights at the Punch Line in San Francisco next week, March 17 - 19, as she has many times before, for the club's slate of all-female lineups for Women's History Month.

Well, it’s one of those things where like, there’s not a Women’s History Month \u003cem>festival\u003c/em>, right? Lilith Fair is in the summer, so I don’t know what the other traditions are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I mean, look, it’s the broadest category in the world, it’s half the people on the planet. But the Punch Line show...it is nice, as a comedian, that Women’s History Month is there once a year to say “Hey, here’s a way to market this.” It's great that they do all-women features. I think a lot of people don’t like all-female lineups, but I can say that as a performer, nothing makes me feel like women onstage are diverse than having us be the only ones up there. Because you do get kind of freed from feeling like you’re representing your gender, which can happen when you’re the only female comic in a lineup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You have \u003ca href=\"http://www.cc.com/video-clips/zv6u26/john-oliver-s-new-york-stand-up-show-feminism-is-not-very-fun\" target=\"_blank\">a bit on the album about feminism\u003c/a> and its marketing problem, and I know you've been doing it for a while. I’m curious if and how that joke has changed over the years?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I wrote that joke, I wasn’t thinking about ‘Oh, I’m gonna talk about something that’s gonna be really divisive.’ I had just started standup, just moved to San Francisco after being at UC Santa Cruz, and the thought didn’t cross my mind that talking about [feminism] would be weird to anyone. It is interesting, because in the years since I first started telling that joke, it’s gotten harder and harder to perform it, and that’s great, because it’s a joke that contends with people having trouble with the idea of feminism. It’s getting destigmatized by our culture now.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/mph1plzp1_Y'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/mph1plzp1_Y'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You did an installment of \u003ca href=\"http://www.avclub.com/article/emily-heller-taylor-swifts-slut-shaming-you-belong-227958\" target=\"_blank\">The \u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"http://www.avclub.com/article/emily-heller-taylor-swifts-slut-shaming-you-belong-227958\" target=\"_blank\">AV Club’s HateSong\u003c/a>, where you talked about how Taylor Swift’s “You Belong With Me” drives you crazy. Because it’s Taylor Swift, and because it’s the Internet, I’m assuming you got a ton of sh*t for that?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I got \u003cem>so\u003c/em> much sh*t for that. I’m less careful with my words in a phone interview than I am in person, so I felt kinda bad about the way some things were worded. Having said that, I still think that song is, like, brutally anti-feminist. I do hate it for that reason. \u003cem>That\u003c/em> said, I do sing along to it when it comes on, and I do love that she’s giving Kesha money right now. I love that feminism is now a commercially viable position for pop stars to take.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So what did you hear from the Swifties?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oh, they came after me on Instagram. They came after me on Twitter. One of them pretended to be me on Twitter -- they started a fake Emily Heller Twitter account, and it was very confusing because they kept switching from speaking in the first person to the third person. I got them suspended so I can’t look it up, and I don’t remember the exact wording but it was, like, stuff about how I’ll s**k a d**k for 25 cents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Wow.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[Laughs.] Yeah. It was tight. I was like, wow, they really nailed my brand. How is anyone gonna know this isn’t me?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you have a thick skin for that kind of thing, having been in the public eye for a bit now? It seems like an unfortunate reality for women whose work is on the Internet. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No, I’m a sensitive little flower. I mean, I act kinda tough, and I know objectively that most people on the Internet are doing an impression of themselves at their worst, so I know better than to take it seriously. At the same time, that stuff will keep me up at night. Any clip on the Internet of a woman doing standup is gonna have comments on it saying “women aren’t funny,” and it’s just tiresome. What I take harder is people I respect -- if someone smart is disagreeing with me on something.

"content": "\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"RWlDM83svXEDNS1XrTUX4WSLhqhoz7Yx\"]Over the weekend, Taylor Swift played sold-out shows to a total of 100,000 people at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. You should have been there! But in case you weren't, here's a play-by-play of what it was like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6pm:\u003c/strong> The second obstacle standing between you and Taylor presents itself (the first being the exorbitant price of the ticket). You must park on an uneven, spongy golf course and then locate golf-cart-riding attendants to procure a plastic bag for your belongings (only clutches and approved NFL bags are allowed inside the stadium). Girls in stilettos also face the added challenge of getting their heels stuck in the ground over and over again, while trekking a mile or so to the stadium entrance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:30p:\u003c/strong> The walk turns out to be kind of meditative: a giddy, buzzing procession of mostly teens and their moms. There are also a few dads in the mix. Most of them look uneasy. You smile at them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:45p:\u003c/strong> Security is a cinch because all your stuff is in a clear plastic bag that's already ripping at the handle. You are handed a cool bracelet that will light up with the beats of Taylor's music. You are told not to pull the tab until Taylor says so. You wouldn't dream of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7p:\u003c/strong> Shawn Mendes takes the stage. He has nice teeth and a Justin Bieber vibe about him. The youths seem to know his music. Or maybe they just like his face? You and your friend discuss his age and whether he is Taylor's type. You decide on 20 and that he's not Taylor's type anymore now that she's dating a man. After the show, you look Mendes up and find out he's actually 17. You feel very, very old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:10p:\u003c/strong> There are no lines for booze because most people here were born after 1995. You cruise up to the table and ask for some wine. They're all out. No one is sure how this is possible. You consider trying a malt liquor Long Island Iced Tea, but remember that nothing good comes out of having a Long Island Icea Tea and think better of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:15p:\u003c/strong> Your friend wants a shirt to commemorate this moment in time. \"Will you be embarrassed to wear it in two years?\" you ask. \"No way.\" Your friend settles on the tasteful ringer tee with the \u003cem>1989\u003c/em> album cover on it. It looks dope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:20p:\u003c/strong> You spot what appears to be a fan-made knit blanket with Taylor's face on it. You want it really badly...until you realize they're for sale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:30p:\u003c/strong> You're astounded by the Swifties' imagination, when it comes to concert costumes. Two girls, dressed in scrubs, hold signs with lyrics from \"Out of the Woods\" on them: \"Remember when you hit the brakes too soon? 20 stitches in the hospital room.\" A girl in black lace holds one half of a lyric (\"I'm a nightmare...\"), while her friend, dressed like an angel, completes the line (\"...dressed like a daydream\"). But the award for commitment goes to these guys who dressed up like ballerinas from the \"Shake It Off\" video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/08/IMG_7765-e1439843844376.jpeg\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17649 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/08/IMG_7765-e1439843844376.jpeg\" alt=\"IMG_7765\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/08/IMG_7765-e1439843844376.jpeg 480w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/08/IMG_7765-e1439843844376-400x533.jpeg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:45p:\u003c/strong> You hear there is wine on another level. You head past people posing with cardboard cutouts of Taylor and her cats to the boozy area. This is where many of the dads are, drinking beer and having a good time. You commend them before grabbing some wine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8p:\u003c/strong> Vance Joy takes the stage. He has an accent. You are bored.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8:05p: \u003c/strong>A mother grabs you and asks, \"Where did you get that wine?\" She seems desperate. You tell her exactly where to get it and wish her luck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8:10p:\u003c/strong> You find your seat, which is close, but not close enough. You're sitting between an excited girl named Missy and a glum older woman. Missy was at the show last night and has all the details. She is wearing two light-up bracelets, one from last night and the fresh one. You and your friend talk to her about who you hope the special guest is (Selena Gomez or Nicki Minaj) and about how many cats her sister has and about who each of you thinks Rory Gilmore should have ended up with (Jess, obviously). The glum woman gazes off into the sky, thinking about her bills, her ex, her deadlines or when she thinks she's going to die.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8:30p:\u003c/strong> Videos of Taylor Swift hanging out with fans at her mom's house play on the big screens. Everyone gets really psyched. Homemade signs pop up everywhere. One reads \"R.I.P. Me #Dead.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8:40p:\u003c/strong> The lights go off and the stage becomes a representation of NYC as \"Welcome to New York\" starts up. You mention that this is one of her worst songs and discuss how odd Taylor being the face of New York is, considering that she seems to have just found out about the city. You and your friend take turns pretending to be awestruck Taylor. \"Have you ever been to Times Square? It's amazing!!!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8:43p:\u003c/strong> Taylor looks really happy and shocked that you are all there. It feels like watching a Disney Channel musical on lots of Red Bull.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8:45p:\u003c/strong> Taylor greets the audience. You and your friend hope she refers to the crowd as the Bay Area instead of Santa Clara. She disappoints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8:46p:\u003c/strong> Taylor theatrically says, \"Oh, and there's one more thing you should probably know about me. I was born...in 1989!\" The second-hand embarrassment is thick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8:47p:\u003c/strong> \"New Romantics\" comes on. It's a song that's only on the deluxe album so some are confused. You wonder whether her label strategically placed a single-worthy song on the deluxe to ensure that some would have to buy the album twice. You decide that yes, they did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8:52p:\u003c/strong> \"Blank Space\" plays and everyone knows the words. Taylor does her best insane ex-girlfriend impression surrounded by dudes in bowler hats. It's cute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8:57p:\u003c/strong> Taylor does a heavy metal-ish take on \"I Knew You Were Trouble.\" You and your friend are surprised at how sexual the performance is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9:02p:\u003c/strong> Time for a ballad. All the bracelets light up for a wave-your-lighters-in-the-air effect. Everyone Instagrams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9:06p:\u003c/strong> Taylor is changing and leaves us with video footage of her friends (Lena Dunham, Selena Gomez, Cara Delevingne, among others) talking about how much eating is involved when hanging out with Taylor. You hope the next outfit is worth listening to this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9:10p:\u003c/strong> It is! Taylor is wearing a pink dress that lights up!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9:15p:\u003c/strong> Taylor gives a sermon on friendship and why people who wait four hours to text you back are the scum of the earth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9:20p:\u003c/strong> Taylor is about to announce her special guest. She says they could have been anywhere in the world, but they chose to be here so feel thankful! The surprise is....drumroll....Little Mix. Womp. They are a girl group that came out of \u003cem>X Factor UK\u003c/em>. One of them almost married Zayn Malik from One Direction. They're fun, but they're no Nicki Minaj.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9:28p:\u003c/strong> Time for another motivational speech. This time, even though it's obviously rehearsed, it hits a nerve. She says, \"You are not your mistakes. You are not damaged goods. You are not the opinion of someone who doesn't know you. You are wiser because you went through something terrible. You are the person who survived a bunch of rainstorms and kept walking.\" Your friend quietly weeps, as does the girl who shot the video below:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0y55EaBPRY\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9:33p:\u003c/strong> Taylor's runway goes airborne for a rendition of \"Love Story.\" Taylor explains that it's about Romeo and Juliet, the first Ross and Rachel, and that she didn't like their tragic ending so she had them end up together forever and ever. Yay for unrealistic depictions of love!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9:34p:\u003c/strong> Fireworks outside of the stadium interrupt her acoustic song. Taylor pauses to say that she doesn't know what they're for but that she's into it. You all watch the sky turn colors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9:41p:\u003c/strong> Time for another surprise!

You should have been there! But in case you weren't, here's a play-by-play of what it was like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6pm:\u003c/strong> The second obstacle standing between you and Taylor presents itself (the first being the exorbitant price of the ticket). You must park on an uneven, spongy golf course and then locate golf-cart-riding attendants to procure a plastic bag for your belongings (only clutches and approved NFL bags are allowed inside the stadium). Girls in stilettos also face the added challenge of getting their heels stuck in the ground over and over again, while trekking a mile or so to the stadium entrance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:30p:\u003c/strong> The walk turns out to be kind of meditative: a giddy, buzzing procession of mostly teens and their moms. There are also a few dads in the mix. Most of them look uneasy. You smile at them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:45p:\u003c/strong> Security is a cinch because all your stuff is in a clear plastic bag that's already ripping at the handle. You are handed a cool bracelet that will light up with the beats of Taylor's music. You are told not to pull the tab until Taylor says so. You wouldn't dream of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7p:\u003c/strong> Shawn Mendes takes the stage. He has nice teeth and a Justin Bieber vibe about him. The youths seem to know his music. Or maybe they just like his face? You and your friend discuss his age and whether he is Taylor's type. You decide on 20 and that he's not Taylor's type anymore now that she's dating a man. After the show, you look Mendes up and find out he's actually 17. You feel very, very old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

You cruise up to the table and ask for some wine. They're all out. No one is sure how this is possible. You consider trying a malt liquor Long Island Iced Tea, but remember that nothing good comes out of having a Long Island Icea Tea and think better of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:15p:\u003c/strong> Your friend wants a shirt to commemorate this moment in time. \"Will you be embarrassed to wear it in two years?\" you ask. \"No way.\" Your friend settles on the tasteful ringer tee with the \u003cem>1989\u003c/em> album cover on it. It looks dope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:20p:\u003c/strong> You spot what appears to be a fan-made knit blanket with Taylor's face on it. You want it really badly...until you realize they're for sale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:30p:\u003c/strong> You're astounded by the Swifties' imagination, when it comes to concert costumes. Two girls, dressed in scrubs, hold signs with lyrics from \"Out of the Woods\" on them: \"Remember when you hit the brakes too soon? 20 stitches in the hospital room.\" A girl in black lace holds one half of a lyric (\"I'm a nightmare...\"), while her friend, dressed like an angel, completes the line (\"...dressed like a daydream\"). But the award for commitment goes to these guys who dressed up like ballerinas from the \"Shake It Off\" video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/08/IMG_7765-e1439843844376.jpeg\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17649 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/08/IMG_7765-e1439843844376.jpeg\" alt=\"IMG_7765\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/08/IMG_7765-e1439843844376.jpeg 480w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/08/IMG_7765-e1439843844376-400x533.jpeg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:45p:\u003c/strong> You hear there is wine on another level. You head past people posing with cardboard cutouts of Taylor and her cats to the boozy area. This is where many of the dads are, drinking beer and having a good time. You commend them before grabbing some wine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8p:\u003c/strong> Vance Joy takes the stage. He has an accent. You are bored.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8:05p: \u003c/strong>A mother grabs you and asks, \"Where did you get that wine?\" She seems desperate. You tell her exactly where to get it and wish her luck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8:10p:\u003c/strong> You find your seat, which is close, but not close enough. You're sitting between an excited girl named Missy and a glum older woman. Missy was at the show last night and has all the details. She is wearing two light-up bracelets, one from last night and the fresh one. You and your friend talk to her about who you hope the special guest is (Selena Gomez or Nicki Minaj) and about how many cats her sister has and about who each of you thinks Rory Gilmore should have ended up with (Jess, obviously). The glum woman gazes off into the sky, thinking about her bills, her ex, her deadlines or when she thinks she's going to die.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8:30p:\u003c/strong> Videos of Taylor Swift hanging out with fans at her mom's house play on the big screens. Everyone gets really psyched. Homemade signs pop up everywhere. One reads \"R.I.P. Me #Dead.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8:40p:\u003c/strong> The lights go off and the stage becomes a representation of NYC as \"Welcome to New York\" starts up. You mention that this is one of her worst songs and discuss how odd Taylor being the face of New York is, considering that she seems to have just found out about the city. You and your friend take turns pretending to be awestruck Taylor. \"Have you ever been to Times Square? It's amazing!!!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8:43p:\u003c/strong> Taylor looks really happy and shocked that you are all there. It feels like watching a Disney Channel musical on lots of Red Bull.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8:45p:\u003c/strong> Taylor greets the audience. You and your friend hope she refers to the crowd as the Bay Area instead of Santa Clara. She disappoints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8:46p:\u003c/strong> Taylor theatrically says, \"Oh, and there's one more thing you should probably know about me. I was born...in 1989!\" The second-hand embarrassment is thick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8:47p:\u003c/strong> \"New Romantics\" comes on. It's a song that's only on the deluxe album so some are confused. You wonder whether her label strategically placed a single-worthy song on the deluxe to ensure that some would have to buy the album twice. You decide that yes, they did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8:52p:\u003c/strong> \"Blank Space\" plays and everyone knows the words. Taylor does her best insane ex-girlfriend impression surrounded by dudes in bowler hats. It's cute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8:57p:\u003c/strong> Taylor does a heavy metal-ish take on \"I Knew You Were Trouble.\" You and your friend are surprised at how sexual the performance is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9:02p:\u003c/strong> Time for a ballad. All the bracelets light up for a wave-your-lighters-in-the-air effect. Everyone Instagrams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9:06p:\u003c/strong> Taylor is changing and leaves us with video footage of her friends (Lena Dunham, Selena Gomez, Cara Delevingne, among others) talking about how much eating is involved when hanging out with Taylor. You hope the next outfit is worth listening to this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9:10p:\u003c/strong> It is! Taylor is wearing a pink dress that lights up!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9:15p:\u003c/strong> Taylor gives a sermon on friendship and why people who wait four hours to text you back are the scum of the earth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9:20p:\u003c/strong> Taylor is about to announce her special guest. She says they could have been anywhere in the world, but they chose to be here so feel thankful! The surprise is....drumroll....Little Mix. Womp. They are a girl group that came out of \u003cem>X Factor UK\u003c/em>. One of them almost married Zayn Malik from One Direction. They're fun, but they're no Nicki Minaj.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9:28p:\u003c/strong> Time for another motivational speech. This time, even though it's obviously rehearsed, it hits a nerve. She says, \"You are not your mistakes. You are not damaged goods. You are not the opinion of someone who doesn't know you. You are wiser because you went through something terrible. You are the person who survived a bunch of rainstorms and kept walking.\" Your friend quietly weeps, as does the girl who shot the video below:\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/S0y55EaBPRY'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/S0y55EaBPRY'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9:33p:\u003c/strong> Taylor's runway goes airborne for a rendition of \"Love Story.\" Taylor explains that it's about Romeo and Juliet, the first Ross and Rachel, and that she didn't like their tragic ending so she had them end up together forever and ever. Yay for unrealistic depictions of love!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9:34p:\u003c/strong> Fireworks outside of the stadium interrupt her acoustic song. Taylor pauses to say that she doesn't know what they're for but that she's into it. You all watch the sky turn colors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9:41p:\u003c/strong> Time for another surprise!

And most of the media agrees. \u003cem>The Guardian\u003c/em> called Swift's reply \"faux-feminist and tone deaf.\" \u003cem>The Atlantic\u003c/em> further questioned Taylor's approach: \"When female solidarity shuts down someone’s honest expression of frustration at society, inequality, and racial and body-type bias, that’s hardly progressive.\" And Gawker had some strong words for Taylor's brand of feminism: \"Swift isn’t here to help women—she’s here to make bank...Her plan—to be as famous and as rich as she can possibly be—is working, and by using other women as tools of her self-promotion, she is distilling feminism for her own benefit.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2013/03/05/the-debate-of-our-times-taylor-swift/\" target=\"_blank\">isn't the first time\u003c/a> Taylor has misused feminism to strike back. Let's rewind back to 2013 when Tina Fey and Amy Poehler made some joke while hosting the Golden Globes about Taylor taking some \"me time\" instead of dating so much, which caused Taylor to respond with:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“You know, Katie Couric is one of my favorite people, because she said to me she had heard a quote that she loved, that said, ‘There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women.'”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Oy vey. And this from someone who in 2012 said this about whether she defined herself as a feminist:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“I don’t really think about things as guys versus girls. I never have. I was raised by parents who brought me up to think if you work as hard as guys, you can go far in life.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>It's great that Taylor has done some reading and thinking and realized that she was a feminist after all and should do her best, as we all should, to promote the equality of the sexes. But it's important to not get so focused on one issue that you begin missing the forest for the trees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor meant well in her response to Nicki; she thought she was bringing attention to the latent sexism that's been programmed into us by our patriarchal society. But she failed to notice the racial component of Nicki's message because that's not something that Taylor knows a lot about. She doesn't know what it's like to have her skin color dictate who will meet with her, sign her to a label, play her records, give her awards, etc. It's just not on her radar. Just like feminism wasn't on her radar back when she insisted that she wasn't someone who thought of \"things as guys versus girls.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The good news is that these are the kind of situations that help us grow. Taylor missed the point because of her white privilege. She knows that now and will hopefully mature and learn more about race and a host of other things that aren't part of her lived experience. Just like we all do. The only difference is we get to do it without the entire world watching.\u003c/p>\n\n",
