Do you feel that?
A strange sensation in the air.
Could it be the first whiff of another Taylor Swift backlash?
Afterward, Swift successfully pulled off the second woke rebrand of her career.
(The first was at the start of the1989era, when she came out as a feminist.)
In April, news broke that Swift had split up with longtime boyfriend Joe Alwyn.
Weeks later, tabloids reported that she hadstarted dating Matty Healy, lead singer of the 1975.
(Neither Swift nor Healey has confirmed anything, but by all accounts they are indeed together.)
As a public figure, Healy is everything Alwyn was not.
He had also eaten raw meat onstage, which was not politically incorrect but just kind of weird.
If Healy was any more of a rebound, hed be in the arms of Domantas Sabonis.
As luck would have it, Healey was in the process ofbeing profiled byThe New Yorkeras the controversy broke.
Ice Spice, for her part,calledSwift the sweetest person ever.
(Reps for the rapper say she reached out to Swift first.)
Having lived through the whole cycle already, Swift is much less pressed about it this time around.
She knows everything will even out in the end.
