That was abundantly clear to me last Sunday night at the Grammy Awards. Her disingenuous shock as she learned she won the Pop Vocal Album award made me roll my eyes even harder when she conveniently took the opportunity to announce a new album coming this year.But it’s damn near impossible to keep her business out of my business when she’s every damn where. And I had to address it on this week’s episode of “I Know That’s Right.
More than just a critique of Swift, this is about how she’s talked about, covered in media and lauded by institutions. This blond white woman is seen as America’s gold standard. That doesn’t sit right with me. The fact that she leans into it doesn’t sit right with me either.I’m not looking forward to watching America gawk while their favorite sweetheart watches her beau play America’s favorite sport. But Usher’s performing during halftime, so hey, I’ll tune in for his 13-minute performance.
