Although I'm pretty sure there's actual, proper work I could be doing I feel I have to tell the Taylor Swift story.
A few years back I was sitting in a pub talking with friends when the
topic of Taylor Swift came up because either one of her songs was
playing on the jukebox or there was a picture of her in a newspaper or
something. As the alternative was just sitting there in silence I sort
of went into a long rant about how I couldn't find anything remotely
attractive about the beautiful multi-millionairess and I wouldn't date
her even if she begged.
Fast forward to October 2012 and just as Rihanna was performing at the
para-Olympic closing ceremony Taylor Swift was in the UK doing a big
marketing push for her "Red" album. Obviously due to the Olympics, the
para-Olympics and what I believe is now known as the Rihanna effect this
all sort of passed me by. However it did mark the beginning of a
British obsession with Taylor Swift. Firstly she had BRIT school wannabe
Ed Sheeran imposed on her for much of the "Red" Tour. Although he's
reasonably talented Ed Sheeran really offended me by taking quite a dark
story from my life and using it for his song "The A Team." He went on
to release "Small Bump" about abortion/miscarriage which he no doubt
stole from someonelse's life. Therefore I think Ed Sheeran owes us all
an apology for being fake because no matter what song he's singing all I
hear is him going; "Your so dumb. Now give me all your money." over and
over again.
Even with the Red tour going on the UK has repeatedly found excuses to
keep bring Taylor Swift back to the country attempting to book her for
everything including Establishment events attended by members of the
Royal Family. This culminated yesterday with Taylor Swift performing
alongside Jon Bon Jovi and the heir to the British throne William Duke
of Cambridge at Kensington Palace in London. I think this was intended
to give the impression that the UK is demanding to know if Taylor Swift
was being used as a distraction while the Rihanna operation was going on
because the UK certainly didn't get what it wanted out of that
operation. Personally I just think the US were just covering the spread
because no-one really got what they wanted from the Rihanna operation.
On the topic of random things I've said about female celebrities whilst
she was touring US movie theatres to promote I think the final Hannah
Montana movie I joked that Miley Cyrus was only doing so to cover up the
fact that she was homeless. What made me think of it now is that I'm
pretty sure that Rihanna is technically homeless at the moment which
when you consider the amount she's spent on property over the last 6-9
months is quite an achievement.
