They are easily triggered - Taylor Swift

I am a mean person, I know it.

I have been intentionally posting on FB, the hype over Taylor Swift to trigger my MAGA brother. He never misses making a rude comment every time I post.

It comical as hell.

3. I'm starting to get triggered

It's too much now. I honestly don't even want to watch the game tomorrow because I am so very over all of this. It's souring me on it - and my in-laws are crazy 49ers fans who are throwing a rager. It's usually a blast. But I'm 50/50 on it.

The problem is, I was over this well before the Right got their noses out of joint about her. She's been wildly overexposed all year from the moment of her breakup with her racist ex-bf to the Eras Tour to the every Sunday asking where she is and if she's at her boyfriend's game. Now it is so, so much worse. Forget avoiding the celeb pages, now it's all over my political reading as well.

It's kind of ruining the Superbowl for me.

And it's cringe. It's so cringe. I feel my soul curling up inside to hide when people in their 40s and 50s and beyond start sounding like my 14 year old niece.

And I say this as someone who has mentioned several times before that I like some of her music. We're still playing "Anti-Hero" and the 617 minute version of "All Too Well" in this house.

But too much is just too much. Please. I'm begging. She is everywhere. There is literally no escape unless I go off grid at this point. When will death release me from Taylor's PR people . . .

I’ll find something else to do during the game tomorrow.

4. I was at a hay auction in BFE Illinois today...

... buying hay for my dairy goats. The auctioneer who was evidently not pleased with the magnitude of the bidding prophesied: "You people with your hands in your pockets are going to regret it tomorrow. The snow will be blowing and you will be sad that you didn't buy more hay today. Taylor's plane will be flying from Japan and it will be tracked by NORAD like Santa Claus, and you will hate yourselves for not having more hay in your barn that you could have bought today."

She was supposed to have had a concert in Japan before flying to Las Vegas at some point for the super bowl but I don't know the deets of her itinerary seems you have to watch fox news for that.

8. I could honestly care less about the Super Bowl.

I plan to sort through clothes tomorrow while watching classic movies. Though, I am truly digging how she has messed with the heads of these weakest of men - simply by being herself. Taylor, you go.

14. One of my clients watches newsmax. He's been repeating

All the nutty conspiracy theories. Super aggressive and angry towards Taylor Swift, for several weeks. Yesterday, it was something about her having sold one of her planes... I ignore most of it, but it makes for a very hostile work environment for about the first half hour to hour, depending on how riled up newsmax has him. It's bad enough how much he's always on about Trump and watching the rallies and junk, but the Taylor Swift stuff really is pushing some of these folks over the edge. He really believes she's doing a half time show or something, for President Biden.
