“After a winter of Americans being inundated with the cultural and political implications of Swift’s romance with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, things had gotten too quiet lately.”
(Joe Saunders – The Western Journal) She’s testing the limits of the old line about bad publicity.
Taylor Swift, the pop music megastar who’s dominated headlines to an embarrassing degree so far this year, is making a different kind of news with the lyrics from the new album released on Friday.
And one line in particular has fans in an uproar.
