I’m sorry but I think taylor swift haters have officially lost their minds. You don’t have to like her or listen to her songs, but to accuse her of racism for using the words onyx and opalite? And for using lightning bolts on her merch? Insanity lol

it’s just ironic that she uses the terms in a song about her fiancé’s ex (notably a woc), won’t comment on the lightning bolt thing this is the first time i’m hearing about it but still

Pretty sure I remember reading the story behind that picture (which was taken YEARS ago) that she didn’t even know that guy and took a quick picture with him as a fan without paying attention to his shirt. Now obviously she should not have knowingly taken a picture with him wearing that, however I find it very hard to believe that she would risk her career knowingly doing that.

I simply don’t think using lightning bolts on her merch equates to being a nazi. Millions of people use lightning bolts every day. And the ones on the necklace don’t even look like the nazi ones anyway. AND they are not random they are in reference to her lyrics about lightning.

The fact that I’ve seen more white people online calling this shit racist and more people of color agreeing with me. Like this has nothing to do with skin color girl and every thing to do with critical thinking. Try it.

Girl these are not the same symbols and I know damn well you don’t call every lightning bolt you see a dog whistle. I am BEGGING you to consider to context behind this design choice. Look at her lyrics. It makes sense.
