Throwback Thursday Throwback to when Taylor Swift was absolutely done with everyone in the 2013 Billboard Music Awards

Happy Throwback Thursday! This video is making the rounds so I wanna share how hilariously blunt Taylor’s answer were this night. (Also the 22 performance this night was super iconic. It really was early 2010s millennial optimism in the best way)

omg i remember people hating on Taylor for how she reacted to Justin. as if any supportive friend who is tired of their BFF's toxic situationship would act any different.

I’m pretty sure Justin wrote All Bad about Taylor partly cause of this interview 😭

I think at that time she was more "free" to be able to speak what she wants and acting the way she wants, imagine how the internet would act if she talked like this today

People were insufferable about the way she sipped her wine when that one comedian made a shitty joke about her at an awards show.

I wish she did this today. everyone else already hates her for random reasons. at least bring back the sass so we can have fun. lol.

"Everyone else" does NOT hate her. That's your algorithm if that's all you see. Hugely popular still generally.- tiktok and IG are already full of endless cf cute edits to the encore songs as well as endless other older ones.

I think her being the most famous and talked about celebrity right now amplifies our perception of the hate

u/SuperKitties83 2d ago

Yeah, my algorithm kept showing me the exact same negative stories because I said I didn't like Cleveland in a comment 😂😭

It just scrolled on by these stories, and now I don't see them anymore.

u/scarletarrows 2d ago

I was already a fan but her being so blatantly not a fan of her friend’s bf really endeared me to her lol it reminded me of me and my friends and made her seem so real

u/nahrune_ 2d ago

She woke up and chose violence that day. Good for her 👏👏👏

u/missgirlipop 2d ago

feels very jlaw, but i think this is more natural to her. i do think in some ways she has not much to lose behaving like this again tbh

u/FakeMonaLisa28 All the tricks of the trade ✨️ 2d ago

Righttt!

u/Funny_Meeting_7649 2d ago

She was over it. I would be too.

u/Mig-117 2d ago

Even then she was already fed up with Reddit bots.

u/PurpleRep 2d ago

Thank goodness for Tree Paine, i don't think thus would've passed today 😭

u/Icy-Judge2378 2d ago

u/Radiant_Speed_6865 I had a marvelous time ruining everything 😎 2d ago

How Taylor's mouth corners slowly went down and the face she made like she is very much trying to hold it together 😅

No bodyshaming Taylor or anyone else. This includes talking about plastic surgery.

If you make a comment like this again you will be banned

u/KittyCompletely 2d ago edited 2d ago

Her bangs are so perfect here. Bang goals. I've got the density but they love to separate, or turn into a flat helmet if i spray them

She's so smart. I the Taylor "dark' or flat humor is always the best. "Thanks for supporting my small free buisness" 🤣

She sounds oddly more like Selina than herself in the first clip.

No snarkers are allowed. Snark does not create nuance discussion.

u/sssb13 2d ago

I would respect her if she stayed like this

u/FakeMonaLisa28 All the tricks of the trade ✨️ 2d ago

I mean she kinda was like this in the New York “America’s Top 100 Songwriter” interview and still got backlash lol

u/sssb13 2d ago

I guess what I mean is I would like her if I could have frozen her in this exact moment in time… if that makes sense
