Last month, \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/11/15/follow-batkid-as-he-saves-gotham-san-francisco/\">San Francisco transformed itself into Gotham City\u003c/a> so Miles, a five-year-old boy in remission from leukemia, could live his dream of being \"Batkid\" for a day. That Friday, the team from the \"Make a Wish\" Foundation staged a runaway cable car on Russian Hill so Batkid (and his adult Batman sidekick) could rescue a damsel in distress, a bank robbery in the Financial District at the hands of the Riddler (foiled!), and a kidnapping of the Giants' mascot Lou Seal in Union Square (ending with Batkid's apprehension of the Penguin at AT&T Park). Batkid finished the day at City Hall where the mayor presented him with the key to the city. Crowds greeted Batkid at every location; it was hard to find a San Franciscan that wasn't cheering him on. \u003cem>The San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/em> even printed a special \"\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/11/15/follow-batkid-as-he-saves-gotham-san-francisco/\">Gotham City Chronicle\u003c/a>\" to commemorate the occasion. As eyes and media around the world turned our way, this blogger was reminded of everything that is good about our fair city: the readiness for adventure, the willingness to dress up and pretend, and our ability as citizens to recognize a true hero when we see one. \u003cem>--Tony Bravo\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Most Anti-Pop Pop Song Goes Number One (And Stays There For A While)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003ciframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/D8Ymd-OCucs\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>Lorde's \"Royals\" wasn't a surprise when it became number one and stayed there for nine weeks because it came from a 16-year-old girl from New Zealand, but because it undermined everything else that was on the pop charts, especially all the other divas out there like Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga, who had excellent but ultimately not as smart singles. Lorde continues her anti-pop reign by putting out the most anti-video video for \"Tennis Court,\" humbly shocking in interviews when she \u003ca href=\"http://www.buzzfeed.com/ryanhatesthis/9-times-when-lorde-was-awesomely-and-brutally-honest-about-o\">speaks her mind about other pop stars\u003c/a>, and revealing that she's a huge book nerd. She literally \u003ca href=\"http://www.thefader.com/2013/08/08/interview-lorde/\">breaks down the similarities\u003c/a> between writing short fiction and writing a song.

When the titan network made the announcement that \u003cem>Enlightened\u003c/em> got the axe, no one was surprised. Still, like Laura Dern’s superb character Amy Jellicoe, we held tight to our hope. The slanted tone, the unlikeable hero, and the existential inquiries were unlike anything else on television and made each viewing experience unique and thoughtful. But because of the show’s low numbers, HBO made the “very difficult decision” to cancel. To this day, I wonder how Amy Jellicoe would have taken the news. She might have stormed into HBO headquarters on the verge of a second breakdown and demanded the suits reconsider their decision, flipping tables and smashing mugs. Or she might have taken it all in stride, sought solace in her crystals, and kept on. While the former might have made for better television and perhaps higher numbers, I like to think she chose the latter, forward-bound, on her unending search to fill her heart and become an agent of change.\u003cem> --David Aloi\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Daft Punk Cancels Appearance on Colbert Report with 24 Hours Notice\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003ciframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/cs6r6Ud0GGU\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>As part of his big summer concert series, StePhest Colbchella, late night newsman Stephen Colbert booked French pop group Daft Punk on his show, \u003cem>The Colbert Report\u003c/em>, in early August. Approximately 24 hours before the show was set to tape, Colbert got word that Daft Punk would not be appearing on his show, due to a supposed exclusivity contract with MTV. Undeterred, an understandably miffed Colbert went full steam ahead with the broadcast because, as he explained, his sponsor Hyundai had already paid for the performance. Colbert rolled up his sleeves and smacked both Daft Punk and MTV’s network president, Van Toffler, with hilarious insults. Then, being a man of his word, he delivered Daft Punk’s summer hit “Get Lucky” -- only rather than live, it was an awesome collaborative music video featuring: the Radio City Rockettes, Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, and the cast of \u003cem>Breaking Bad\u003c/em>, to name a few. In the end, it was reported that the video hadn’t been made on the fly, but was previously recorded for another use and then used as the perfect solution to this rotten predicament. That doesn’t ruin it for me at all. Planned or not, the video (and that entire episode) was one hell of a nice save and a brilliant moment in 2013 pop culture.\u003cem> --Natalie Grace Sweet\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Prince Rama Premieres 17 Minutes of a Demented Fantasy Titled \u003cem>Never Forever\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003ciframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/BAu9WWe4Sfs\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>The year 2013 held many things near and dear to my heart, but if I have to give a shout-out to just one pop cultural artifact from this strange and lovely year, I choose \u003ca href=\"http://www.princerama.net/\">Prince Rama\u003c/a>’s short film, \u003ca href=\"http://www.stereogum.com/1556561/watch-prince-ramas-never-forever-short-film/video/\">\u003cem>Never Forever\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.

The film is 17 minutes of a freaking awesome, scary, fantasy hodgepodge of images I wish I’d dreamed myself. The band \u003ca href=\"http://thecreatorsproject.vice.com/blog/prince-ramas-explore-infinity-and-the-apocalypse-in-psych-opera-never-forever\">describes inspiration\u003c/a> for the film as follows: “Forever 21. Ryan Trecartin. \u003cem>Thriller\u003c/em>. Extreme sports. Kenneth Anger. Alejandro Jodorowsky. \u003cem>Liquid Sky\u003c/em>. Zombie Aesthetics. \u003cem>The Apple\u003c/em>. The Big Apple. Matthew Barney. Monster Energy. Fun Fun. Stonehenge. Kate Bush. Lao Tsu. Muscle Milk. Nietzsche. Hooters. Billboard Hot 100. Charles Manson. The Unarians. Abercrombie and Fitch. Holograms. Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. \u003cem>Meshes of the Afternoon\u003c/em>. Donna Summer.” And that sounds about right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After \u003cem>Never Forever\u003c/em> screened, Prince Rama came out and put on one of the best live performances I’ve ever seen. It was a smoky, neon tour de force that ended with them leaping off the stage, clearing a dance circle and proceeding to do a brilliant extended dance routine with aerobic lunges and ballet kicks. At one point, they were dancing with an older woman in the crowd, who I am 99% sure was their mom, and at another point, they crowd surfed with a bad ass level of gusto I haven’t seen since high school. It was all incredibly charismatic and riveting.

Or less depressingly, when I overlooked that hashtag and \u003ca href=\"https://31.media.tumblr.com/a239a3656dd5af46cf4f2a78574bb766/tumblr_mopccobns91qb4m0io1_500.png\">listened to Mariah's \"#Beautiful\" for hours\u003c/a>. Or every time Jennifer Lawrence did anything at all (\u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fA1CDs_HYNk\">her casual anecdote about pooping her pants is a favorite\u003c/a>). But nothing brought me greater joy this year than not watching every award show and waiting for the animated gifs of Taylor Swift bopping in the audience to show up on Tumblr.

Whether she intends to or not, all the attention diverts away from the performer to her story-telling arm movements and the embarrassment of her neighbors.

Last month, \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/11/15/follow-batkid-as-he-saves-gotham-san-francisco/\">San Francisco transformed itself into Gotham City\u003c/a> so Miles, a five-year-old boy in remission from leukemia, could live his dream of being \"Batkid\" for a day. That Friday, the team from the \"Make a Wish\" Foundation staged a runaway cable car on Russian Hill so Batkid (and his adult Batman sidekick) could rescue a damsel in distress, a bank robbery in the Financial District at the hands of the Riddler (foiled!), and a kidnapping of the Giants' mascot Lou Seal in Union Square (ending with Batkid's apprehension of the Penguin at AT&T Park). Batkid finished the day at City Hall where the mayor presented him with the key to the city. Crowds greeted Batkid at every location; it was hard to find a San Franciscan that wasn't cheering him on. \u003cem>The San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/em> even printed a special \"\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/11/15/follow-batkid-as-he-saves-gotham-san-francisco/\">Gotham City Chronicle\u003c/a>\" to commemorate the occasion. As eyes and media around the world turned our way, this blogger was reminded of everything that is good about our fair city: the readiness for adventure, the willingness to dress up and pretend, and our ability as citizens to recognize a true hero when we see one. \u003cem>--Tony Bravo\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Lorde continues her anti-pop reign by putting out the most anti-video video for \"Tennis Court,\" humbly shocking in interviews when she \u003ca href=\"http://www.buzzfeed.com/ryanhatesthis/9-times-when-lorde-was-awesomely-and-brutally-honest-about-o\">speaks her mind about other pop stars\u003c/a>, and revealing that she's a huge book nerd.

When the titan network made the announcement that \u003cem>Enlightened\u003c/em> got the axe, no one was surprised. Still, like Laura Dern’s superb character Amy Jellicoe, we held tight to our hope. The slanted tone, the unlikeable hero, and the existential inquiries were unlike anything else on television and made each viewing experience unique and thoughtful. But because of the show’s low numbers, HBO made the “very difficult decision” to cancel. To this day, I wonder how Amy Jellicoe would have taken the news. She might have stormed into HBO headquarters on the verge of a second breakdown and demanded the suits reconsider their decision, flipping tables and smashing mugs. Or she might have taken it all in stride, sought solace in her crystals, and kept on. While the former might have made for better television and perhaps higher numbers, I like to think she chose the latter, forward-bound, on her unending search to fill her heart and become an agent of change.\u003cem> --David Aloi\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Daft Punk Cancels Appearance on Colbert Report with 24 Hours Notice\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003ciframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/cs6r6Ud0GGU\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>As part of his big summer concert series, StePhest Colbchella, late night newsman Stephen Colbert booked French pop group Daft Punk on his show, \u003cem>The Colbert Report\u003c/em>, in early August. Approximately 24 hours before the show was set to tape, Colbert got word that Daft Punk would not be appearing on his show, due to a supposed exclusivity contract with MTV. Undeterred, an understandably miffed Colbert went full steam ahead with the broadcast because, as he explained, his sponsor Hyundai had already paid for the performance. Colbert rolled up his sleeves and smacked both Daft Punk and MTV’s network president, Van Toffler, with hilarious insults. Then, being a man of his word, he delivered Daft Punk’s summer hit “Get Lucky” -- only rather than live, it was an awesome collaborative music video featuring: the Radio City Rockettes, Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, and the cast of \u003cem>Breaking Bad\u003c/em>, to name a few. In the end, it was reported that the video hadn’t been made on the fly, but was previously recorded for another use and then used as the perfect solution to this rotten predicament. That doesn’t ruin it for me at all. Planned or not, the video (and that entire episode) was one hell of a nice save and a brilliant moment in 2013 pop culture.\u003cem> --Natalie Grace Sweet\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Prince Rama Premieres 17 Minutes of a Demented Fantasy Titled \u003cem>Never Forever\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003ciframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/BAu9WWe4Sfs\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>The year 2013 held many things near and dear to my heart, but if I have to give a shout-out to just one pop cultural artifact from this strange and lovely year, I choose \u003ca href=\"http://www.princerama.net/\">Prince Rama\u003c/a>’s short film, \u003ca href=\"http://www.stereogum.com/1556561/watch-prince-ramas-never-forever-short-film/video/\">\u003cem>Never Forever\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. The enigmatic sisters of the band (\u003ca href=\"http://www.spin.com/articles/prince-rama-concept-album-top-10-hits/\">who cite “French dudes” Derrida and Baudrillard as influences, along with Cindy Sherman, and yoga\u003c/a>) have the incantatory, psychedelic, faux-shaman thing down to an art. They fully inhabit their hypnotic weirdness: making concept albums about the apocalypse, \u003ca href=\"http://instagram.com/p/cakehpMHSI/#\">Instagramming their raccoon attack in Central Park\u003c/a>, and writing \u003ca href=\"http://www.imposemagazine.com/bytes/healthy-or-hungover-12\">recipe columns\u003c/a> with a demented hipster commitment to mis-capitalizing. With \u003ca href=\"http://www.princerama.net/WHITNEY-BIENNIAL-2067\">performances at the Whitney\u003c/a> and the MoMa Dome, as well as an \u003ca href=\"http://www.mtvhive.com/2013/08/29/totally-nights-a-new-%E2%9D%A4-advice-column-from-prince-ramas-nimai-larson/\">advice column\u003c/a> for MTV, Prince Rama are performance artists and rock stars, and probably some things in between too, embodying an irreverent and savvy approach to identity and creation which I find incredibly refreshing. \u003cem> \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was lucky enough to see them perform at The Chapel this fall when they were on tour with the premiere of \u003cem>Never Forever\u003c/em>. The film is 17 minutes of a freaking awesome, scary, fantasy hodgepodge of images I wish I’d dreamed myself. The band \u003ca href=\"http://thecreatorsproject.vice.com/blog/prince-ramas-explore-infinity-and-the-apocalypse-in-psych-opera-never-forever\">describes inspiration\u003c/a> for the film as follows: “Forever 21. Ryan Trecartin. \u003cem>Thriller\u003c/em>. Extreme sports. Kenneth Anger. Alejandro Jodorowsky. \u003cem>Liquid Sky\u003c/em>. Zombie Aesthetics. \u003cem>The Apple\u003c/em>. The Big Apple. Matthew Barney. Monster Energy. Fun Fun. Stonehenge. Kate Bush. Lao Tsu. Muscle Milk. Nietzsche. Hooters. Billboard Hot 100. Charles Manson. The Unarians. Abercrombie and Fitch. Holograms. Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. \u003cem>Meshes of the Afternoon\u003c/em>. Donna Summer.” And that sounds about right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After \u003cem>Never Forever\u003c/em> screened, Prince Rama came out and put on one of the best live performances I’ve ever seen. It was a smoky, neon tour de force that ended with them leaping off the stage, clearing a dance circle and proceeding to do a brilliant extended dance routine with aerobic lunges and ballet kicks. At one point, they were dancing with an older woman in the crowd, who I am 99% sure was their mom, and at another point, they crowd surfed with a bad ass level of gusto I haven’t seen since high school. It was all incredibly charismatic and riveting. They often made creepy, extended eye contact with audience members, including myself, which made me feel somehow part of a ritual, instead of just an audience member at a concert.

There was the time I saw \u003ca href=\"http://blackfishmovie.com/\">\u003cem>Blackfish\u003c/em>\u003c/a> and considered quitting my life to get a job at Sea World and release \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilikum_%28orca%29\">Tilikum\u003c/a> and the other captive whales while no one was looking. Or less depressingly, when I overlooked that hashtag and \u003ca href=\"https://31.media.tumblr.com/a239a3656dd5af46cf4f2a78574bb766/tumblr_mopccobns91qb4m0io1_500.png\">listened to Mariah's \"#Beautiful\" for hours\u003c/a>. Or every time Jennifer Lawrence did anything at all (\u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fA1CDs_HYNk\">her casual anecdote about pooping her pants is a favorite\u003c/a>). But nothing brought me greater joy this year than not watching every award show and waiting for the animated gifs of Taylor Swift bopping in the audience to show up on Tumblr. In case you didn't know, \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TL7ksX_iSM\">Slaylor Giftfromgod\u003c/a> is renowned at awards shows, not only for her \u003ca href=\"https://31.media.tumblr.com/edab4f616131690b300e7a7205a56353/tumblr_mxm727lq9X1qb4m0io1_1280.png\">OMG I won?!? incredulity\u003c/a>, but also for interpretive dancing her way through every performance she's not actually in. Whether she intends to or not, all the attention diverts away from the performer to her story-telling arm movements and the embarrassment of her neighbors. It's joie de vivre at its best (and nerdiest), and a good reminder to dance (or just live your life) like you just don't care.\u003cem> --Emmanuel Hapsis\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Bad grammar, toilet rolls that face in, \u003ca href=\"http://jezebel.com/5971671/do-make-be-barf-the-year-in-goop\">Goop.com\u003c/a>. But nothing is as divisive as Taylor Swift, the love-obsessed songbird that inspires strong opinions on either end of the spectrum. The debate over whether Swift is a feminist or the worst person ever born has been quieter than usual as of late...until news broke that she took a shot at Tina Fey and Amy Poehler this morning (somewhere everyone's-favorite-punching-bag Anne Hathaway is breathing a little easier). So let's take a stroll down memory lane and remember all the times Tay Tay has won and lost the culture's favor.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>IN DEFENSE OF TAYLOR SWIFT:\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003ch3>KanyeGate!\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>http://youtu.be/ydswJSAfmZM&w=560&h=315\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor Swift has been making a name for herself since her country music days in 2006, but it wasn't until Kanye West decided she wasn't worthy of an MTV Music Video Award that most of us became familiar with her. Whether Kanye was right about Beyonce having the better video or not (she totally did), the public consensus was that Kanye was \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/14/obama-kanye-is-a-jackass_n_286623.html\">in President Obama's words\u003c/a> \"a jackass.\" Taylor instantly became our bullied little sister and America's sweetheart and all those other roles that are impossible to live up to and will eventually lead people to tear you off the pedestal they put you on (\u003ca href=\"http://youknowyoucare.com/wp-content/gallery/brit2/britney-spears-shaves-her-head.jpg\">just ask Britney\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Pop Music Prodigy!\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In these modern times, it has become increasingly difficult to separate an artist from their output due to the constant influx of paparrazi pictures and personal tweets and Oprah sit-downs. But when you peel away her public persona, it's pretty remarkable that someone as young as Swift can craft such catchy earworms that have even the snobbiest audiophiles proclaiming \"never ever ever!\" when they think no one is listening. She writes her own lyrics and plays the guitar, when most pop starlets rely on teams of writers and producers. That deserves some credit, even if you think her eyes look \"squinty\" or whatever.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Sexist Double Standards!\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>A lot of the discourse over Taylor Swift revolves around the revolving door of her lovers. Granted, by writing popular songs about each and every one (Jake Gyllenhall was an indie music elitist! John Mayer was mean! Taylor Lautner was just too nice! etc.), Swift is putting a spotlight on the subject, but the intense scrutiny over her speed dating rings of sexism. Why is George Clooney a playboy while Taylor is a desperate floozy? She's in the prime of her life and should be allowed to casually date whomever she wants. She can have her freedom fries and eat them too, y'all.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>INDEFENSIBLE TAYLOR SWIFT ACTS:\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003ch3>I'm Not a Feminist!\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/10/22/taylor-swift-dishes-on-her-new-album-red-dating-heartbreak-and-grey-s-anatomy.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+thedailybeast%2Farticles+%28The+Daily+Beast+-+Latest+Articles%29\">a recent interview with the Daily Beast\u003c/a>, when asked about whether she identified as a feminist, Taylor Swift joined the ranks of great philosophers like Katy Perry and Lady Gaga in proclaiming that she does not consider herself one. \"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.\" Ugh. Ok, since everyone in the entire world will read this blog post, I will use this space to once and for all clarify the meaning of a feminist. It's not a boys vs. girls thing. Boys can be feminists too! Because all that being a feminist entails is the belief that women are equal to their male counterparts and deserve the same political, social, and economic equality that has been bestowed on men since some Disney villain came up with patriarchy. Damn, girl, read a book!\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Slut Shaming!\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 500px\">\u003ca href=\"http://tumboy.tumblr.com/\">\u003cimg src=\"http://s3-ec.buzzfed.com/static/enhanced/webdr01/2013/1/14/11/anigif_enhanced-buzz-8273-1358180368-4.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"237\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: tumboy.tumblr.com\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Boys don't get off easy in Swift songs, but Taylor saves the most lethal venom for \"the other woman.\" Even when Taylor is trying to steal some girl's man on their wedding day (seriously), she derides the woman who stands in her way solely for having something Swift wants too. That's not very neighborly. While lyrics like \"She wears short skirts/I wear t-shirts\" and \"Was she worth this mess after everything and that little black dress\" are bad, the most egregious instance of Taylor promoting the tiresome Madonna/Whore paradigm can be found in a song called \"Better than Revenge:\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cem>She's not a saint\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem> And she's not what you think\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem> She's an actress\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem> She's better known\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem> For the things that she does\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem> On the mattress\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>When I think about Taylor's confusion about what feminism means or falling into girls vs. girls tropes, I try to remember all the stupid things I said when I was in my teens and early twenties. The difference is no one was putting them on record (although certain AOL chat transcripts and one very unfortunate I'm-drunk-for-the-first-time-and-doing-a-Real-World-confessional recording do exist somewhere out there). Despite some poorly worded answers and snarky lyrics, Taylor Swift probably is a feminist and, surprise surprise, a person just like you or me who does as best as she can, but still makes mistakes and then learns from them and grows to be a better version of herself every day. So let's cut her some slack, okay?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the slack-cutting ceremony will have to wait until tomorrow because today Taylor Swift has turned me from this rabid fan:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>http://youtu.be/5TL7ksX_iSM&w=560&h=315\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">To this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/we%20were%20all%20rooting%20for%20you!\">\u003cimg class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0lgz7UgaY1qfi02h.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"303\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left\">Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Have a One-Way Ticket to Hades!\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In an interview with \u003cem>Vanity Fair\u003c/em>, Taylor was asked her opinion on a joke Tina Fey and Amy Poehler told while hosting the Golden Globes about her staying away from Michael J. Fox's underage son and instead taking some \"me time.\" What Taylor should have said:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was honored to even be mentioned by them! Tina through her writing and Amy through her Smart Girls at the Party web series have done so much for women and young girls and I hope I can enact positive change like they have someday.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What Taylor actually said (brace yourself, it's the worst):\u003c/p>\n\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>\n\u003cp>I'm not sure how you're feeling, but I'm somewhere in the neighborhood of feeling like the man I've been married to for years is actually an ax-murderer who eats puppies alive and was the reason \u003cem>Arrested Development\u003c/em> was cancelled. I recently received a Taylor Swift pin for my jacket as a gift and I have worn it with pride and echoed Lena Dunham when people question Taylor's artistic value: \"Anyone who tries to debate Taylor Swift with me, I’m like, “You are an uninformed consumer, and you will be shut down. You’re not doing this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this gives me great pause. A harmless joke lands you in hell?! I can't defend going after two of the most brilliant women on the pop culture circuit (who's next? Sasha Obama?) and all I can do is send a message to Taylor in animated gif form:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/you+in+danger+girl\">\u003cimg class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http://25.media.tumblr.com/a9d51d0b66fec369ced0dcda366b92ab/tumblr_mj405geKmU1rdeykbo1_400.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"197\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So there you have it: Taylor Swift is not a demon or a saint.

But nothing is as divisive as Taylor Swift, the love-obsessed songbird that inspires strong opinions on either end of the spectrum. The debate over whether Swift is a feminist or the worst person ever born has been quieter than usual as of late...until news broke that she took a shot at Tina Fey and Amy Poehler this morning (somewhere everyone's-favorite-punching-bag Anne Hathaway is breathing a little easier). So let's take a stroll down memory lane and remember all the times Tay Tay has won and lost the culture's favor.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>IN DEFENSE OF TAYLOR SWIFT:\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003ch3>KanyeGate!\u003c/h3>\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/ydswJSAfmZM'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/ydswJSAfmZM'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Taylor Swift has been making a name for herself since her country music days in 2006, but it wasn't until Kanye West decided she wasn't worthy of an MTV Music Video Award that most of us became familiar with her. Whether Kanye was right about Beyonce having the better video or not (she totally did), the public consensus was that Kanye was \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/14/obama-kanye-is-a-jackass_n_286623.html\">in President Obama's words\u003c/a> \"a jackass.\" Taylor instantly became our bullied little sister and America's sweetheart and all those other roles that are impossible to live up to and will eventually lead people to tear you off the pedestal they put you on (\u003ca href=\"http://youknowyoucare.com/wp-content/gallery/brit2/britney-spears-shaves-her-head.jpg\">just ask Britney\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Pop Music Prodigy!\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In these modern times, it has become increasingly difficult to separate an artist from their output due to the constant influx of paparrazi pictures and personal tweets and Oprah sit-downs. But when you peel away her public persona, it's pretty remarkable that someone as young as Swift can craft such catchy earworms that have even the snobbiest audiophiles proclaiming \"never ever ever!\" when they think no one is listening. She writes her own lyrics and plays the guitar, when most pop starlets rely on teams of writers and producers. That deserves some credit, even if you think her eyes look \"squinty\" or whatever.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Sexist Double Standards!\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>A lot of the discourse over Taylor Swift revolves around the revolving door of her lovers. Granted, by writing popular songs about each and every one (Jake Gyllenhall was an indie music elitist! John Mayer was mean! Taylor Lautner was just too nice! etc.), Swift is putting a spotlight on the subject, but the intense scrutiny over her speed dating rings of sexism. Why is George Clooney a playboy while Taylor is a desperate floozy? She's in the prime of her life and should be allowed to casually date whomever she wants. She can have her freedom fries and eat them too, y'all.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>INDEFENSIBLE TAYLOR SWIFT ACTS:\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003ch3>I'm Not a Feminist!\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/10/22/taylor-swift-dishes-on-her-new-album-red-dating-heartbreak-and-grey-s-anatomy.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+thedailybeast%2Farticles+%28The+Daily+Beast+-+Latest+Articles%29\">a recent interview with the Daily Beast\u003c/a>, when asked about whether she identified as a feminist, Taylor Swift joined the ranks of great philosophers like Katy Perry and Lady Gaga in proclaiming that she does not consider herself one. \"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.\" Ugh. Ok, since everyone in the entire world will read this blog post, I will use this space to once and for all clarify the meaning of a feminist. It's not a boys vs. girls thing. Boys can be feminists too! Because all that being a feminist entails is the belief that women are equal to their male counterparts and deserve the same political, social, and economic equality that has been bestowed on men since some Disney villain came up with patriarchy. Damn, girl, read a book!\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Slut Shaming!\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 500px\">\u003ca href=\"http://tumboy.tumblr.com/\">\u003cimg src=\"http://s3-ec.buzzfed.com/static/enhanced/webdr01/2013/1/14/11/anigif_enhanced-buzz-8273-1358180368-4.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"237\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: tumboy.tumblr.com\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Boys don't get off easy in Swift songs, but Taylor saves the most lethal venom for \"the other woman.\" Even when Taylor is trying to steal some girl's man on their wedding day (seriously), she derides the woman who stands in her way solely for having something Swift wants too. That's not very neighborly. While lyrics like \"She wears short skirts/I wear t-shirts\" and \"Was she worth this mess after everything and that little black dress\" are bad, the most egregious instance of Taylor promoting the tiresome Madonna/Whore paradigm can be found in a song called \"Better than Revenge:\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cem>She's not a saint\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem> And she's not what you think\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem> She's an actress\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem> She's better known\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem> For the things that she does\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem> On the mattress\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>When I think about Taylor's confusion about what feminism means or falling into girls vs. girls tropes, I try to remember all the stupid things I said when I was in my teens and early twenties. The difference is no one was putting them on record (although certain AOL chat transcripts and one very unfortunate I'm-drunk-for-the-first-time-and-doing-a-Real-World-confessional recording do exist somewhere out there). Despite some poorly worded answers and snarky lyrics, Taylor Swift probably is a feminist and, surprise surprise, a person just like you or me who does as best as she can, but still makes mistakes and then learns from them and grows to be a better version of herself every day. So let's cut her some slack, okay?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
