On the topic of Taylor releasing a track about Chihuahua: Is it one of the multiple catalysts of this entire thing? Absolutely. But when you become on the defense mode for so long, when you become trapped into a position where you can’t do or say things, you risk becoming an easy target. Taylor has already shown restraint too many times (and even now), and she’s had ENOUGH of these people thinking they can do as they please without consequences. Aside from the song being genuinely how Taylor feels, it’s better to do this NOW and get it out in the open, before Chihuahua gets *too* brave and thinks that she and her cohort can take *unlimited* digs at Taylor and that Taylor wouldn’t be able to do anything but accept them. If Taylor releasing that track means SENDING A MESSAGE that she isn’t someone you can easily trample on, if this means Taylor having the (relative) freedom to get back at people who came for her FIRST (repeatedly, continually, and remorselessly), then it’s worth the multiple viral hate tweets (which are quite literally minuscule in the grand scheme of things). If the “support” of these people who are now coming for Taylor is THAT fickle and fragile and shallow, then we’re better off without it. Let them show their colors now instead of them remaining a Trojan horse for much longer and us being blindsided later on when it matters most.
