Taylor Swift Blasted For Saying She Wants to Live in 1830s in New Song

Taylor Swift‘s new album’s already inflicting some controversy … and, it ain’t about an ex both — it is all received to do with T-Swift’s view of American historical past, together with the ugly half. 😬

The singer dropped “The Tortured Poet’s Department” Friday … and, whereas many followers are jammin’ out to the tunes and diving into hints about Matty Healy and Kim Kardashian — others took intention at her track “I Hate It Here” … which incorporates some eyebrow-raising lyrics.

Within the track, Tay Tay sings, “My friends used to play a game where / We would pick a decade / We wished we could live in instead of this / I’d say the 1830s but without all the racists / And getting married off for the highest bid.”

Principally, it appears Taylor’s attempting to make an announcement about nostalgia … however, her listeners did not like the way in which she tried to convey it, and are straight-up annihilating her on social media.

Take a look at the “1830” development on Twitter … it is a combined bag of individuals genuinely outraged at Taylor’s tone-deaf remark — even in attempting to distance herself from the destructive connotation — and others who’re simply mocking Swift for a reasonably bizarre/oddly particular sentiment.

Those that are literally outraged are making two main factors … first, intolerance in America in the course of the 1830s went additional than racism — and slavery was at its peak throughout this time … which many individuals appear to assume Taylor would not totally perceive.

Others level out Andrew Jackson signed the the Indian Elimination Act into regulation in 1830 … which resulted within the genocidal march of many Native Individuals from the American Southeast to Oklahoma generally known as the Path of Tears.

Taylor appears to qualify the nostalgia in later strains — however, many individuals are caught on the primary line and do not appear enthusiastic about listening to this follow-up clarification of hers.

Clearly, Taylor’s been throughout social media feeds at present … with many lauding her for her new album whereas just a few evaluations have trashed her new effort. This, nevertheless, is likely one of the songs that is genuinely getting side-eye … as a result of numerous of us simply cannot justify it.
