    Most of her hits, of which she hasn’t had one in like 10 years, were not even written by her.

      You can say the same about Elvis Presley and half of Motown. That’s not the mark of musical talent, that’s a mark of compositional talent.

      There are plenty of more legitimate things to criticize her for.

      Mine too. Although I think we’re both being quite generous in our use of ‘music’ in her case.

    Huh. I never would’ve thought that a country music artist would be the type. I’m shocked and surprised.

      A modern country music artist, yeah. Waylon Jennings would have told Trump to go fuck himself.

    “Comes out” is the wrong phrase here, having been used for so long to talk about historically repressed people, especially LGBTQ+, having the courage to live openly and honestly in spite of the injustice they may face.

    You don’t “come out” as a bigot. You don’t “come out” as a fascist.

    Maaaaannnn, all these people in here are clowning on her for her shitty music. But “Before He Cheats” was my way to own my “Drunk Basic White Lady” status at Karaoke. Now I can’t even be a stereotype anymore.

    Jokes aside, fuck you Carrie Underwood. I was a fan in my youth and grew out of your music, but there was still two or three songs I got good nostalgia vibes from. Not anymore!

    Ugh I hate when people I’ve supported turns out to be monsters.

        Oof yeah. I’m so sorry about that.

        I was never a Neil Gaiman girlie, not because of any vibes or anything, I was just reading other shit in my youth. But it was VERY clear from that thread that he was a very beloved author who touched a lot of lives. A LOT of people seem heartbroken about that.

        Finding out those we look up to are awful incarnate is the worst feeling.

        You know what? I actually just saw her perform over the summer and she is still Queen status.

        Better artist anyhow. You right!

    I’m shocked (shocked!) that a country singer would stick with the fanbase that got her to where she is

      Honestly, while I’ve heard her name, I had to google to find out what her songs were. I still don’t think I’ve heard any of them. Half of them appear to be worship songs.

      You generally don’t perform at the presidential inauguration of a president you don’t support.

      Because the all of it can’t be inside of itself?

      Just trying to find a way to make sense of this.
