She pissed me off the second she glided back onstage at the VMAs to reclaim the acceptance speech that was so cruelly taken from her, as if she had anything of consequence to say in the first place! And then, she made the talk-show rounds that week, enthusing about how “supportive” everyone was being, as though she lost a kidney or a family member and not a minute of yammering (temporarily!). As though the Kanye debacle didn’t bring her even more attention, which is CLEARLY HER POINT OF EXISTING as a commercial POP musician. You guys, make sure you support Taylor Swift after she sells a kajillion copies of her next album. It’s going to be kind of rough for her and it’d be better if you didn’t treat her like she was retarded, even though I know that’s what you like to do to pop stars instead of worshiping them, America. Don’t throw her away! Don’t flush her down the toilet like the pinched guppy that she is.

I sort of like Taylor Swift’s music, but Rich Juzwiak hits the problem of her celebrity on the head with his recap of the AMAs.
When every other pop blogger has died due to irrelevance, fourfour will be strong. Like a cockroach. A beautiful cockroach.
