Does anyone ever compare themselves to Taylor? I get so jealous of her success and I know that’s not fair to myself but it’s hard not to, and she’s my idol

comparing yourself to taylor is kinda setting yourself up for a spiral lol. like she’s a literal global superstar with millions of dollars, a whole team, private jets… that’s not a normal life?? totally fair to admire her, but when it turns into “why am i not there too” it gets a little parasocial. we don’t actually know her, just the version we’re shown. be inspired, sure, but don’t beat yourself up over not being a billionaire pop icon 😂 you’re on your own path and that’s more than enough.

I’ve never done that. Instead I’ve only tried to emulate her in my life. Like whenever im faced with a situation I ask myself “what would Taylor do?@

Yessss and i do even more with popstars that are closer in age/younger than me though because im like they’re so successful and I’ll probably be living a 9 to 5 in my home town for the rest of my life😭
