What does "fake" even mean? It's just something that people have been saying for decades when they don't know what else to say.
Just like all these people on TSR moaning about "fake" people at university or college. That's real life. It's as real as it gets. There's no such thing. If anything's fake - it's TSR.

Wearing make-up is fake.

I don't need validation.

I think she is nice, she conducts herself well when she's interviewed and is bright and chatty and charismatic so obviously has something about her over and above her "PR team". I think she is consciously trying to promote a positive image to counter the usual "bad girl" image of a lot of female artists to be a more positive role model, which is not a bad thing. So I think all her pushing in people's faces how she gives things to her fans and so on is a way of pushing a positive image on them.
It must work because amongst young women I know, I don't see any complete hero worship for other female artists like I do for Taylor Swift - the girls I know that are in to her are really in to her, they want to have their hair done like her, clothes like her, when they find other Taylor Swift fangirls they are like moths to a flame...kind of like guys can go on about football for ages they have Taylor Swift stories. Yes there are girls that like other female artists but I don't see quite the intensity of hero worship.
The one thing that she does thats bad that annoys me, and probably presents a bad image to young women is the way she constantly goes on about her relationships, I think that kind of stuff should be kept private but she is like a celebrity drama queen, and she gives young women a bad role model about relationships, she presents it as being a cool and natural thing to be tricked by someone, fall for them madly and then hate them, so her fans start doing the same and becoming drama queens. It is all a bit attention seeking.
That said, she doesn't over sexualise herself, she doesn't go on drinking binges or do drugs, she's never having to go to rehab. I think she's a smart artist that is in control of her own image and thats a contributing factor to her success, and I think she will last a long time. -

I can. She's better looking and more successful than you, and you think that calling her "fake" gives you some quantum of superiority over her.Last edited by Ekemini; 08-01-2015 at 13:49. -

Personally, I don't think you can really call someone fake when you don't know them. People are too quick in everyday life to call people fake when in reality they've never said a word to them.

Wasn't a fan of her originally, her comments used to be somewhat questionable at times, but she's been becoming better and better and more aware of what she's doing. I love how she interacts with her fans, including the Christmas giveaway and communicating with social media [["No it's becky"]]. You could say it's all for publicity but to be honest I'd probably do the same if I had the money to do so.
The fake part is the part that isn't real, the 'Taylor Swift' the media has presented and the very character that Blank Space was about. Taylor herself is a genuinely lovely person who's constantly working on becoming more aware and bettering herself.
And I've also stopped pretending I don't like her music. -

I like her. I get her and I get why people think she's fake. I have the same problem with people who don't hang out with me often. We just come across awkward but we're oh so awesome!

That is the annoying part: her songs are stupidly catchy. I actually like them
