I know there are a lot of Taylor Swift fans here, but… hear me out. Because I need to take a few minutes to rant about everyone’s favorite pop singer.
Despite the fact that I can’t seem to help singing along to her music when it comes on the radio, I am not a fan of Taylor Swift. I know everyone is always going on and on about how Taylor seems so nice and innocent and down-to-earth, but I’m not buying it. Sure, she smiles pretty for the camera, wears girly, sparkly dresses, loves to bake cupcakes and has an adorable kitten. And yeah, she always has that “OMG, you like me? You really like me?!” thing going on and she’s always talking about how she wants to find true love, and that makes her seem sooo sweet. But there’s something about her that makes me think she’s secretly not as nice and innocent as we all seem to believe.
Case in point: last night at the Golden Globes when, in my opinion, Taylor totally showed off a little tiny bit of her mean side. Did you guys watch it? Taylor lost the award for Best Original Song in a Motion Picture to Adele. Now, I’m not saying Taylor isn’t talented, but let’s face it: Adele totally deserved this award. She’s an incredible singer and “Skyfall” is a great song.
I’m going to assume that Taylor thought she had that award in the bag (since she always seems to win everything else she’s nominated for), because her reaction was seriously priceless. After the winner was announced, the camera panned over to Taylor, who wasn’t clapping and smiling and putting on a happy face… nah, she was just sitting there giving Adele some major stink-eye. I mean, it was completely obvious. Twitter blew up, GIFs were hastily put together, memes were created. And I cheered, because Tay-Tay’s secret mean side was finally starting to show.
I’m not trying to sound like a total brat, but I mean, come on! Taylor’s angry side eye could not be ignored. She couldn’t even have pretended to be happy for Adele? I know she’s used to winning every award ever for her overrated music but I think she needs a few lessons on how to be a good loser.
And, just wondering, where was she when Tina Fey made that little joke about her? For those of you that missed it, check it out below, because it was pretty amazing. Tina joked that Taylor shouldn’t go after Michael J. Fox’s son, and then said that “she needs some me time, to learn about herself.” Watch for yourself, around the 40 second mark:
I’m pretty sure everyone watching was collectively waiting for the cameras to pan to Taylor’s reaction to this joke… but they never did. I’m going to go ahead and assume that her reaction was that she wasn’t amused, or that for some reason, she was no longer in the audience. I’m hoping the second reason is what was going on, because if not? Not cool.
It’s a given that celebs are going to get teased during awards shows, and many of them handled their jabs with dignity – take Anne Hathaway, for example, who laughed at every joke made at her expense. If Taylor was acting all sullen over the joke (which, let’s face it, is TRUE), then she seriously needs to get over herself. Let’s be honest, Tina Fey was basically speaking the truth and telling Taylor what no else ever seems to say to her. There’s nothing wrong with dating tons of hot guys (more power to ya!), but there’s also nothing wrong with being single. I don’t think Taylor has gotten that message yet.
What do you think? Was Tina’s joke too mean? Do you feel like Taylor was being a sore loser? Are you a little sick of T Swift? Tell us in the comments!

Just stop writing about Taylor Swift no one cares what you think.
Finally someone sees her the way I do! She always struck me as fake, manipulative and calculating.
I absolutely detest her. Swift has NO singing talent whatsoever! I have no idea why she is even famous. I agree with Music Critic. Taylor can’t sing AT ALL!
What bothers me is that Taylor is called ‘inspirational’ and ‘sweet’ all the time, when really, she is nothing of the sort. Her songs are, more often than not, obnoxious, whiny, and somewhat depressing. How could she possibly be inspirational? She does nothing but sit and whine about how mean everybody is to her, instead of getting up and finding something to do. I honestly can’t imagine why people call her a talented singer.
I think people are being too hard on her for this. To me, she didn’t at all look mean or like she didn’t feel Adele deserved it. She might have been a little disappointed, which (let’s face it) is ok when you lose a Golden Globe, but just the fact that she didn’t laugh, doesn’t say anything. Adele wasn’t even making a joke, she was trying to make it sound like the Golden Globes were just another night on the town. Not at all funny, didn’t warrent a laugh.
Adele totally deserved to win that award-her voice is incredible!
Taylor Swift’s voice is great too, but, Adele’s Skyfall song is fantastic!
To me, Taylor didn’t even look as much of a sore loser as this article made her out to be. She even smiled a little at Adele at least! It’s not like she was glaring at Adele menacingly, or running up there and grabbing the award from Adele and shoving her out of her way. Or shouting. Or bawling her eyes out. Or swearing. Or complaining loudly to the people sitting near her, “I should’ve won, not HER!” Taylor Swift didn’t do ANY of those things. (from what I watched on that clip on this website of the awards night anyway). She didn’t even pout.
Disappointment is disappointment. I don’t care WHO YOU ARE-famous or not-everyone is very aware with that emotion at least one time in their lives. It’s ok to show disappointment-but don’t go overboard with it. Taylor was not being extreme in her behavior/reaction and that’s alright. (I don’t think her behavior was mean or uncalled for).
That was quite surprising for Tina Fey to tease Taylor Swift like she did. Putting her on the spot like that. But then again,Taylor Swift’s songs are about guys.
