    I would agree that Carole King is far more talented than Taylor Swift but then I'm a male boomer not a Gen Z female. As I stated in a previous post what scares MAGA nation and the right-wing media about Taylor Swift is that she has the potential to mobilize a segment of the electorate that tends to vote in relatively low numbers to turn out and vote for Biden and in a close election that could make a difference.

    I read that poll. As I understand it, she could hypothetically engineer a 1% shift overall. But it’s not Gen Zers that come after me when I criticize Taylor Swift in anyway. It’s like 45 year old male Swifties on the Facebook NFL page I made the mistake of investigating recently.

    That’s precisely what the article contests.

    Carole King is legendary, and the musical amazing. She married four times, if I remember correctly, and was romantically linked with James Taylor, which they denied, but never even dated an NFL football player. Had she, during the height of her fame, I'm sure the TV would have cut to her. Just like, years ago during Montreal Canadians games, the TV would cut to Candace Cameron (Full House) if she was at the game watching her husband. Or when Hannah Jeter (SI Swimsuit Model) would go watch husband Derek play at Yankee Stadium.

    As for Swift, I liken her career to Olivia Newton John. Attractive blonde with a very good voice that broke first in country music. Then into pop with a couple of movie/acting appearances thrown in. ONJ had a better voice in my opinion.

    Here's a picture of Hannah Jeter watching Derek play at Yankee Stadium. Plenty of other pics of women Jeter dated watching him too if you want to Google them.

    Just have to respond to this although I agree with your larger premise. She has been clear that she and JT were "musically intimate" in their ability to compose together and in response to each other confirms as much, but that nothing nonmusical was ever the case, and that seems certain from all my reading on their respective careers, which is extensive.

    A better analog of that time to this situation, IMO, is whether we will get a "Hotcakes" album and cover in the future. I will leave it at that.

    If we are going to at least be on topic, what star football player did she date, and what games did she attend? And did she go to the games at the very height of her influence?

    I’ll bet Travis Kelce has a better voice than his girlfriend. And that gets to my principle lament seeing as how saturated we are with Taylor Swift (and her boyfriend).

    Turn on the TV and Travis Kelce is badgering you to take your Covid AND flu shots, hounding you to call State Farm for a quote and inviting you to check your credit score on Experian.

    Too be fair, I felt the same way about Tom Hanks. Seemed like for awhile there he was in every damn movie.

    Exactly. It's pretty laughable to complain that the issue isn't how many rightrwingers have gone absolutely bonkers in anger and conspiracies over Taylor Swift .... but the real issue is that others are pointing it out?:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    This is off topic, but if that is what Jason Kelce looks like, it is no wonder the Philadelphia offense sucked. How can the supposed star offensive lineman multi-year All-Pro center look so grossly overweight and out of shape just 1 week after his career ended?
