Added 2023-05-14 00:45:42 +0000 UTCHello besties!!
We wanted to take a moment to address the comments in our last Secret Song reaction. As I am sure many of you have seen, the debate has been heated. We know that the situation right now is very controversial, polarising, and is bringing up a lot of emotion (and validly so, from the few things we have seen).
We want to apologise if our comment on trusting Taylor's judgement was invalidating or dismissive of the larger issues being discussed. Of course, she is a human after all, she is flawed, and will (and has) made mistakes, and we don't want to blindly sweep these errors under the rug. On a personal level from us, we know very little about this man and the things he has said and done, and so we will be educating ourselves on this so that we can better understand the implications of Taylor's involvement with him.
But most of all, we want all of you here in our community to always feel respected, safe, and valued. Not only from us, but from other members here too. We love you all SO much, and are so grateful that this is more often than not a space where you can safely share your opinions without fear of judgement or ridicule, but please remember to always be respectful and kind to one another. Many of you have told us that this community is such a happy and positive space for you to escape to while 🎶"outside they're push and shoving" - and we want to keep it this way. We don't want our Patreon to be just another reddit or twitter. We want to connect with you all over our content and our mutual love for Taylor's music!
If you ever have an issue with someone here that you feel needs addressing, you can always reach out to us in a Patreon DM or start a ticket on discord to let us know.
LOVE YOU ALL SOOOOOOOO MUCH 💜💜💜 as always, thank you for being here and for your support! We'll see you in a few hours for another BLESSED secret song reaction!

Thanks for relating! I have a bestie whose childhood friend has ONLY dated assholes. Her current husband is the best dude she’s ever dated because at least he isn’t physically violent. Score! Are we just supposed to ditch her? We know she picks these guys because her dad and older brother were narcissistic assholes. She’s a decent person and has made some progress. All we can hope for.

2023-07-12 18:01:39 +0000 UTCEXACTLY this. I felt almost out of body during the whole Matty ordeal, with so much of the internet acting like they've never dated someone frightful or known someone who dated a frightful person (or even heard of the concept). It was gross for so many reasons, glad it's over.
Brittany Diamond
2023-07-12 06:12:32 +0000 UTCYes, this. I cancelled my membership and honestly after what I saw on Discord I am not coming back.

2023-05-17 16:30:53 +0000 UTCI can really tell on social media who has had to live through a friend dating a crappy rebound and who hasn’t. Friend of mine dated a sexist asshole for over a year and I just had to support her and wait it out. She settled. She looked past his faults and thought he’d change for her. He didn’t. This feels like that, but OBVIOUSLY I don’t know either person.
M3L
2023-05-17 00:18:31 +0000 UTCI believe that people should be given room to grow and change and I don't think his past mistakes have to define his whole future as long as he keeps putting the work in. I'd hate to be judged for my worst moments for the rest of my life. (There are exceptions of course such as child abuse and murder lol)
Abrielle Wright
2023-05-16 16:51:12 +0000 UTC@Jay - thank you, yeah. In particular I think there's no excuse for her silence during the Tennessee shows, when Lizzo brought out drag performers in protest
Sam
2023-05-15 23:31:18 +0000 UTCBesties you guys are amazing, and the vibes I've gotten have been so welcoming, but I admit, the discussion and discourse was really...disheartening? Because I mean of course I expected talk about mother's boyfriend, but I didn't expect it to be the way it was, especially on Discord, so I'm glad you addressed it <3

2023-05-14 16:29:00 +0000 UTCNever apologize for being your authentic, beautiful selves. One of my favorite quotes by comedian and most banned man alive Owen Benjamin is, "It might not be true, but I'm not lying." We are all just doing our best with whatever is thrown our way. This world is so upside down crazy, things shifting and changing every day, we can only do our best with the information we have at the moment. I can respect any opinion so long as I believe that the person saying it actually believes it themselves. You two are so enthusiastically eager in this arena and I'm beyond grateful for that. I hope you don't ever change that for any reason. This world is filled with talking heads pushing agendas left, right, and center... but your energy is what so many of us hunger for because of your authenticity. Much love, Stacey

2023-05-14 12:02:28 +0000 UTCHow about we all focus on the original purpose of this channel, reacting to and commenting on Taylor's music - instead of turning it into a gossip column about her personal life. Not interested in paying a membership fee for that, sorry 😅
Laura
2023-05-14 11:38:04 +0000 UTCLove you girls!! ✨🫶🏻✨

2023-05-14 11:07:14 +0000 UTCIt’s a hard time in the swiftie community rn but one thing I’m grateful for is this space! You two and mods have worked so hard to make this a safe space for everyone (which can be very difficult with many disagreements, i imagine, but you guys are killing it!) and it shows 💗. I appreciate all the work and consideration you all put into this place, love y’all!!

2023-05-14 10:44:18 +0000 UTCMH about himself in April: “the era of me being a f–king arsehole is coming to an end.” Let’s hope so. Another citation: “The reason why she has been one of my best friends is because this person has never, ever judged a single decision I’ve made. She’s always met me where I've been, she’s encouraged me when I've had nothing to be encouraged about.” Selena Gomez describing Taylor’s support for her on the Reputation stage in 2018. It must be great to have her as a friend.
Stevie
2023-05-14 10:23:33 +0000 UTCTo me this rebound (as I hope it is) makes absolutely perfect sense and provides so much perspective on the break-up. You can kind of always analyze the rebound to figure out what was wrong in the prior relationship and it's so not hard to see this time. Joe was so private, they were never even seen on a red carpet together in all those years. And it made sense before, Taylor needed some privacy during the whole Kanye thing and during the pandemic they didn't really have a choice so it all went well and she was okay with it, actually enjoying it. But then when the pandemic passed she wanted to go out and about again, together, and it's just not his thing. He didn't want to talk about them, be seen together, go out together, attend events together. Which is his absolute right, but Taylor has never really been that kind of girl. The whole 'don't put me in the basement when I want the penthouse of your heart' line makes so much sense to me, together with 'a diamond's gotta shine'. Can't you see how Matty perfectly gives exactly THAT, what she was missing with Joe? I mean look at her on stage the girl is LIVING, she's never been so sexually confident, so comfortable in her own body, so shiny and thriving energy wise. She is feeling hot AF because he is giving her exactly that 10% that Joe couldn't. I don't really believe he could give her the other 90% and I think neither does (of will) she so let's be honest we all know how these kinds of messy rebounds end. She needs this and I get it and yeah he may not be her greatest choice in history but haven't we all been there. I think we just need to buckle up and enjoy the ride while it lasts.
Marit
2023-05-14 09:38:34 +0000 UTCCompletely agree. As a queer swiftie it's disappointing to see her make a big deal of wanting to be an ally during Lover era and then stay so silent through all the attacks and harmful legislation over the last year. Doesn't make me love her music any less, but she is in no way a perfect person
Jay Martinson
2023-05-14 09:23:42 +0000 UTC100% you shouldnt be yelled at since you dont know what hes done but the man is a whole racist and mysognistic the people under this post are not it no one gives a fuck who taylor dates its just the fact that its matty healy and her fans have a right to feel the way they do
mandy
2023-05-14 08:48:52 +0000 UTCI agree with your post 100%
Vivi
2023-05-14 08:43:48 +0000 UTCOmg they're aren't bowing down. They're trying to make sure everyone feels here. And they're gonna look into what Matty has said and done. Which anyone commenting should do so you know what you're talking about.
Clara Schneider
2023-05-14 08:30:09 +0000 UTCAs a fellow German, I agree! Immediately disqualified. But I like to remind myself that outside of Germany, most people are not as sensitised when it comes to nazis and hitler. I truly think people from other countries don't realise how bad even just imitating that gesture is and that's its never funny.
Clara Schneider
2023-05-14 08:26:27 +0000 UTCI can't imagine Taylor being unaware either. At the very least her team will have evaluated the consequences of this 'relationship'/fling on tailor's reputation. And there was already some criticism when Taylor was a surprise guest at the 1975 show. I personally think Matty has said and done some things that are inexcusable and wrong. However I don't think he's a bad person in private, rather he takes this public persona too far. But I totally understand why you came to your judgement and that you're disappointed by Taylor. I was definitely irritated, too.
Clara Schneider
2023-05-14 08:20:18 +0000 UTCYeah the issue with Matty is, some of the stuff has been very recent.
Clara Schneider
2023-05-14 08:09:01 +0000 UTCYou didn’t say anything wrong or dismissive! The only truth is we don’t really know this man so you did the right thing to just let it be. This isn’t our personal life so we don’t have a say on it. It is her life and she can do whatever she wants with it. If we agree or disagree ultimately it doesn’t matter. Love your guys stand on this matter! Kisses from Greece!!

2023-05-14 06:33:59 +0000 UTCOh you should have just totally dismissed these rabid Swifties, just like Taylord is. 😌
Luai Ahmed
2023-05-14 06:32:40 +0000 UTCThis was a very thoughtful response , the way I look at all of it is that nobody walks around judging my boyfriend and his past , beliefs etc and I don’t like to pass judgement on anyone else’s. That doesn’t make what he said or did OK it just means I don’t care as a swiftie , it doesn’t change my swiftie status: I don’t now have an opinion on this man that I barely heard of, unless he also sells her masters , or interrupts her acceptance speeches : he was already problematic before he dated Taylor and this just brought a lot of attention onto himself.

Matthew M
2023-05-14 05:19:01 +0000 UTCImagine being vetted by the Swifties to be mother’s bf lol. No man on earth is going to measure up. That said, the dude has said and done some problematic things. Disqualifying? That’s not up to us.
Toby Veach
2023-05-14 05:03:24 +0000 UTCYou 2 are the best and I don’t think you did or said anything wrong.
Aaron D in SF
2023-05-14 04:31:41 +0000 UTCCompletely agree Lucy. For these conversations to have meaningful outcomes, they need to be thoughtful both ways.
Ashley Wright
2023-05-14 04:07:45 +0000 UTCThanks Bonnie and Em- I hope you don’t get shade for simply being where most of us are, a fan of Taylor, potentially a fan of the 1975, and just trying to engage in thoughtful conversations about humans and their actions. I personally really like Marty, but am ready to engage in conversations where I acknowledge he’s not without flaws or mistakes. Maybe you girls should watch an interview- like the one he did with Zane Lowe this year - to get a sense of his character beyond what everyone says. Remember, at one point everyone thought Taylor was the worst too…
Ashley Wright
2023-05-14 04:05:17 +0000 UTCI'm sorry you felt like you needed to post this! I didn't see anything offensive in your reaction at all. You said you didn't know much about Matt and needed to research 🤷🏻♀️ Taylor is a grown woman, she can make her own decisions and mistakes!
Annika
2023-05-14 04:00:18 +0000 UTCIn my comment i did say he’s said and done questionable things. I’m not excusing his behaviour by any means. When people joke about things it can be insensitive and rude and that’s really bad but the only thing you can do is reflect and perhaps learn from it.
Lucy
2023-05-14 03:37:43 +0000 UTCThe comments he made towards ice spice were literally one month ago
tasneem
2023-05-14 03:33:41 +0000 UTCYou guys are doing great. We're here because we want to know your opinion. And as Swifties we know we're going to be clowning 98% of the time 😅. I agree with you, always. But in any case, you seem to come from a place of love and admiration and respect and you've taught me so much.This is a conversation, not a debate. Please don't get discouraged or upset on our account. At least not mine. Thanks for acknowledging that we don't need to agree on everything to be a community and for you openness. I love you SO ! ❤️
Louise
2023-05-14 03:27:16 +0000 UTCJust go away. Just tried to defend Taylor from you guys.
Richard
2023-05-14 03:21:25 +0000 UTCOmg what are you serious?! You were the one being offensive telling those of us who were sharing our honest opinions to “get a life” and that we “are way too sensitive” and you even said that you love getting us worked up!! Don’t instigate and then come back around and play the victim smh
Shondi
2023-05-14 03:18:56 +0000 UTCYour reactions are a place for me to escape , so I kinda hope that it doesn't become a place where I also have to hear about the whole drama that is Twitter.
Jess.
2023-05-14 02:48:50 +0000 UTCyes to this! I’ve never expected to have nuanced conversations on racism or politics when it relates to Taylor. at the end of the day, she’s a very privileged white woman who’s a billionaire. I still love her and her music.
Natalia
2023-05-14 02:44:08 +0000 UTCyes to all of the above
Safa
2023-05-14 02:36:58 +0000 UTCjust want to share my thoughts as a poc woman—do i trust taylor’s judgement? no. do i think she’s a bad person for dating matty? also no. when it comes to people like taylor there’s always a huge amount of privilege that blinds her to reality. also from actually researching the things matty has done and said i think he’s just a dick (i mean studying the context of what he has done not reading a twitter thread). for the most part matty seems like guy a who holds a lot of generally good views but has made some terrible jokes along the way. this is not a defense of this actions. i think a lot of chronically online people do not want to engages with the nuances of difficult subjects—there is a different between being a downright hateful person and making ignorant comments, but people hold all “wrong actions” in the same regard. now about taylor, i actually am shocked and feel grossed about by the extent of idol worship around her on this page. like do y’all genuinely believes she a true activist who really cares about social issues above all? are you serious? she has done enough nasty things in her career and with the people she aligns with (her girlboss 1989 white feminism era comes to mind—her comments about nicki, her trying to go after katy) also her starting in a movie directed by someone accused of SA! gross. please stop putting her on a pedestal and pretending that this is shocking from her. it’s not. her activism is strategic. she’s a billionaire—you don’t get there ethicality i’m sorry. i love taylor cause i love her music, and celebrity culture is fun. it’s just that. we need to a top pretending we know her or what she stands for. it should never be that deep.

2023-05-14 02:29:32 +0000 UTCthank you for saying this!
Cydney Holland
2023-05-14 02:06:15 +0000 UTCThat's a great way to sum it up - Taylor's had a huge impact on my life like many others here and I don't see myself withdrawing support from her based strictly on who she's dating, etc. Like many others, I think I'm just struggling to reconcile the values she's expressed publicly with the contrasting actions Matty has taken publicly. The last thing I want to see is her major success either tainted or stalled due to the fact that being so close to someone with a less then stellar reputation can easily be seen as her endorsing or seeing no issue with the past behavior. It's definitely turning into a contentious time to be a Swiftie lol
Michael Grice
2023-05-14 02:02:14 +0000 UTCthings are really heated right now.. i don’t like the guy, but still support taylor.. i’m sure there must be something he is bringing to the table for her to be with him, even if it is emotional support or just having fun with him.. i guess time will tell

2023-05-14 01:44:44 +0000 UTCThanks for addressing y'all are icons 💜. And for the people in the comments being like "sorry you were bullied into posting this" "I hate that you had to post this" .... maybe you could learn something from them and actually try to use your braincells and open your mind instead of constantly dismissing swifties of color calling us "dramatic" .... just saying

Anon_987
2023-05-14 01:40:39 +0000 UTCAs a follow up to my comment further up the thread, I’d just like to add that’s it’s so heartening that we can [mostly!] have a discussion about this topic (and others) that is are earnest, educated and passionate, but also patient and inclusive of other’s differing opinions. If the entire internet could be like this we’d live in a much happier society lol 🫶

2023-05-14 01:32:25 +0000 UTCAppreciate that correction, Sam. I just personally don’t think apologizing makes you weak so I always appreciate people that do, like Bonny and Emily.
Fahmeen
2023-05-14 01:31:28 +0000 UTCI was not. Just stating my opinion about defending Taylor. But I guess being mild contradictory is a low threshold these days.
Richard
2023-05-14 01:31:22 +0000 UTCThank you for saying this, he is truly such a disappointing person and has said so many harmful things. It’s disappointing to see her with him, unfortunately.
Maggie Tindall
2023-05-14 01:26:24 +0000 UTCI really appreciate this comment - I considered the level of subjectivity that comes from this platform that I wasn’t thinking about in my original reply. After all, this is a platform of sharing our opinions on what’s going on with Taylor. That said, I stand by my original statement and ultimately I respect my original stance, but thank you for weighing in 😊
Sam
2023-05-14 01:25:22 +0000 UTCThank you both so much for taking the time to speak on this. I don't think any of us thought poorly of you all in the least. In general, we are all naive by nature until we're presented with information and our defining moments are those after we receive new information and are shaped by how we adjust any currently held views to accommodate the new information. Many of us are in the same situation when it comes to Matty - he was just vaguely on our radar until becoming a main character in the TSCU. As Swifties (whether we are offensive, illegal, or superior) Taylor holds a special place in each of our lives, so it's nearly second nature to want to defend her and it's easy to become a little 'passionate' in those conversations. A lot of us are also struggling to find a way to reconcile the values Taylor holds and has publicly expressed with those that Matty has expressed in the past all while this whirlwind of a relationship is unfolding in front of us in real-time (while still coming to terms over the loss of Joe). Talk about some serious plot twists happening in the TSCU haha. I have spent plenty of time on Reddit and Twitter and this space is far superior to those - both of you are amazing creators and it's easy to tell you care about the community you're building here, on YouTube, and in the Discord server. Please keep doing what you're doing - we all appreciate you heaps 💖 p.s. if you want a crash course on some of the background surrounding this conversation, @swifttokdetective (hannah) on TikTok has posted a few videos recently that are a great starting point
Michael Grice
2023-05-14 01:25:19 +0000 UTCAlso, I am a POC Swiftie but I have not been targeted by Matty’s past behavior, so I have no right to speak on whether what he said was harmful or not. But I think we should all consider that B&E are always approaching this community with the best of intentions. This is all happening in real time, including context and details as to the things he’s done. We need to be patient and less reactive with each other….
Natalia
2023-05-14 01:25:01 +0000 UTCSo you don’t think people can change? Think about how many celebrities and influencers have been “cancelled” for saying something inappropriate in their past, even if it doesn’t represent who they are anymore.
Alice
2023-05-14 01:24:15 +0000 UTCLove you both so much. Thank you endlessly for this space you’ve curated 🫶🫶🫶
Sam Obrien
2023-05-14 01:23:36 +0000 UTCI think we should believe in Taylor a bit more. She wouldn’t put her time and effort in someone who doesn’t deserve it. Not now at least. Yes he’s said and done questionably things but maybe he’s grown, we don’t know. And remember they have known each other for a long time it seems. So maybe we should just be kind to each other and see how it all unfolds. I personally trust her judgment.
Lucy
2023-05-14 01:20:03 +0000 UTCI’ll do as I please. Thanks
Fahmeen
2023-05-14 01:15:41 +0000 UTCI’m glad you guys posted this, though like others, I recognize your intentions and the heart behind your videos and know that you would never approach a situation with the intent to harm. It’s a reality that our girl’s dating this man and the discourse surrounding them is fraught. I don’t expect you guys or any of us to be experts, and things online can get and will get misconstrued until high hell. I respect your feelings in this post, but I’m also sorry you had to post it at all. I, like you, trust Taylor’s judgment!
Natalia
2023-05-14 01:11:43 +0000 UTCAlso people are acting as if they know Taylor and Matt personally, they don’t. People are rarely the perfect robots you want them to be. This is all unhinged and frankly ridiculous.
♆
2023-05-14 01:11:00 +0000 UTCI think maybe instead of playing victim, you could learn from this the way bonny and emily are. You were one of the most aggressive people in that comment section lol
Fahmeen
2023-05-14 01:09:24 +0000 UTCLove you girlies so much along with all of the mods for keeping this such a fun, warm, and respectful place to share our common love for music, especially Taylor! Thank you again 😘😘🩷🩷🐣🐣
LanaJulie33
2023-05-14 01:08:59 +0000 UTCWe have been saying as a community all the time that Taylor's personal life is not our business apart from her songs, but the moment she starts dating some a-hole all of sudden it's all about the fan base. It's not. Let her live and make mistakes and surely don't drag B and E into this. They deserve better
Rafael Pelegrine
2023-05-14 01:08:52 +0000 UTCDisagree. They don’t have to bow down to the mob who feel entitled to order them around. This is their patreon, if you don’t like the content, don’t subscribe. Simple as that.

Brian
2023-05-14 01:07:11 +0000 UTCHonestly I think there has been over blamig, over accusing, over shaming, over defending, over offending, over usage of names that shouldn't be misuseded, every side of this whole thing has step over the line, I saw people ivalidating Jack's jewish identity, questioning his morals... I just think that if we are her fans maybe she earned at the very least the benefit of the doubt! I spent a looong time watching and reading every thing I could find about him and came to the conclusing that he is a dick, has the biggest ego out there and says the wrong stuff while masking it as activism, for every video of him saying shitty things there's another one of him saying the right thing... so I'm just gonna wait it out, and hope she knows what she's doing
Bruna Novello Fernandes
2023-05-14 01:06:57 +0000 UTCThis entire patreon is anything but objective. We’re all here breaking down songs and commenting on what they mean and the emotions behind them and what we like and don’t like. If it was brought up by them and people were unhinged in that comment section, then it was good that they addressed it.

2023-05-14 01:04:17 +0000 UTCThank you so much for addressing this, but I’ll be brave and say that you needn’t have. We can tell from your subtext, consistently, that you’re mitigating the existence of an environment where we treat Taylor (and everyone else) as anything other than capable adults that are capable of the level of nuanced thought that we strive for as a community. She is a grown woman and her personal decisions lie squarely on her shoulders. There’s no point and, if I may, we have little right, to comment on them beyond objective fact. All the love to you ladies. I’m so grateful for what you do. ❤️

2023-05-14 01:02:15 +0000 UTCnot directly about this because I 100% think these topics should be discussed with what matty has said or done, but the lyric, "to you I can admit, that I'm just too soft for all of it" can be so relatable in the swiftie community sometimes. there can be a lot of polarization and its tough to navigate. you have done such an amazing job of creating a more intimate space, and I really appreciate that

2023-05-14 01:01:24 +0000 UTCalso i don't trust taylor anymore bc of this whole mess. i find it hard to believe she is unaware of his comments (some recently made this year). its so disappointing bc i've been a fan since 2006! i'm her age and first saw her live in 2010. But i cannot condone her dating an open racist. She's clearly way more problematic than a lot of you want to admit. I can't continue to support someone like that. I'm sure in the far distant future, she'll release a well-written apology to her BIPOC fans, but how sincere is that at this stage, really? in Taylors words... i know when its time to GO.

2023-05-14 01:00:16 +0000 UTCYeah I was trying to defend Taylor at first and then I got piled on some people wanted to cancel Matty. I am very sad right now.

2023-05-14 00:59:14 +0000 UTCI don’t necessarily think that some people wanting them to address it is bullying. It’s important to acknowledge when Taylor does or says something that’s concerning to her fan base.

2023-05-14 00:59:01 +0000 UTCI think we all understand where you are coming from and deep down we feel the same. But knowing what this man does (e.g. the nazi hand gesture on stage, especially since im german) would immediately make the person repulsive for me If I had Feelings beforehand (not here)

2023-05-14 00:57:44 +0000 UTCI guess I’m sad, because I wanted a chaotic single era with her best friends out and about. I didn’t like him before, didn’t like his music and after the break up, it’s just too much. I’m trying not to look up photos, but they’re literally everywhere. I’m sorry, but I hate this. But I love you guys!💜

2023-05-14 00:57:37 +0000 UTCThis is a very rational and levelheaded response to this whole situation, and I’d expect nothing less from you two ❤️❤️

2023-05-14 00:57:10 +0000 UTCThis is sweet of you to post. I could tell that you didn’t really know much about him. It was more the comment section that was disappointing. And listen, I’m a minority and have personally felt targeted by things he’s said in the past but I still like matty. And it’s okay to admit that he has said and done very shitty things and there’s always room for improvement. I don’t think he’s a bad person but he’s done bad things and people are going to bring it up when our favorite artist ever is dating him. Always loved the safe and happy space this was but that comment section was not it. Really appreciate you guys addressing this though ❤️
Fahmeen
2023-05-14 00:56:28 +0000 UTCyou both do such an amazing job for all of us, LOVE YOU and forever thankful. i also had no clue about any of this, and we're all just doing the best we can and learning as we go <3
Ava Jeffs
2023-05-14 00:56:03 +0000 UTCI'm sorry you guys were bullied into addressing it. There's been so much drama around it. Every comment is being twisted and people are turning into each other. Why can't we just focus on music? On this amazing tour or the fact that we are getting speak now soon? Love you guys and please don't let the hate wave get you.

2023-05-14 00:55:00 +0000 UTCYou were giving a live reaction and speaking as you thought. We can only know what we know in any given moment. We know your hearts. 💜💜💜

2023-05-14 00:54:28 +0000 UTCthank you for addressing this! based on that comment in the video, my first thought was “they don’t know exactly how awful this man is” and that’s fine, i was in the same boat of “her personal life is not my business” until a few days ago when i actually listened to POC swifties and the impact her association with him has had. Nonetheless, love you guys and your reactions so much ❤️❤️

2023-05-14 00:53:17 +0000 UTCLove you both so much - this is the best community and safe place for people who don’t have friends or family to connect with about these things - thank you for creating this 💜💜💜💜💜

2023-05-14 00:53:10 +0000 UTCThank you for being considerate to those who feel hurt by his comments and allowing respectful dialog about it. We all want the best for Taylor (and I hope each other).

2023-05-14 00:52:14 +0000 UTCI have dealt with some extremely invalidating and insulting things on reddit and Twitter about all of this and seeing this is such a relief. As a woman of color I am currently uneasy and it's nice to see that the creators I look up to do have empathy for us that are currently struggling. ❤️

2023-05-14 00:52:10 +0000 UTCim glad you posted this and i hope you research all the awful, racist, and sexist things Matt has said and done. I opted to unsubscribe from this Patreon because of it. Too many of your subscribers (including your guys comments you addressed in this post) were excusing racism. It's so easy for white people to do that apparenty when it doesnt effect them. Still love you guys, but this is NOT a safe environment for me

2023-05-14 00:52:00 +0000 UTCI haven't seen the video yet but im sure you two didn't mean it in a bad way.

2023-05-14 00:50:14 +0000 UTCThank you guys so much for this. As a member of one of the groups he has pretty harshly offended, it has not felt very safe being a swiftie at the moment, so this truly means a lot!
