#TaylorSwift

I’m not here to argue about music or wear a fan badge. I’m just a dad, a football-loving, middle-aged man who has watched the noise online grow uglier by the day. And I can’t stay quiet anymore. I’m talking about Taylor Swift. Not her fame, not her outfits — but the way grown adults mock her for cheering, smiling, or simply showing up to support someone she loves. That’s what bothers you? Because our kids notice. Our daughters hear the jokes about “too much Taylor.” Our sons learn from the eye-rolls about which women we choose to ridicule for being visible and joyful. Here’s the truth: She has won over 300 awards, including multiple Grammys. Her Eras Tour boosted the U.S. economy by nearly $5 billion. She donates quietly to food banks in every city she visits. Her lyrics are studied at Harvard and Stanford. And when a radio DJ assaulted her and then sued her, she counter-sued for one symbolic dollar — and won. She reminded every young woman: your voice matters. So no, I’m not a fan because of her music. I’m a fan because of her strength. Because she uses her platform with dignity and purpose. We can do better. Our daughters deserve better. Our sons need to know that kindness, success, and womanhood are never reasons for ridicule. #RespectMatters #VoicesMatter ~Weird Wonders and Facts
