musicJun 12, 2026645,185

Taylor Swift, 36, became the youngest woman ever inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame at the 55th Annual Songwriters Hall of Fame Induction and Awards Gala in New York. Steven Spielberg introduced Swift, who delivered a tearful acceptance speech thanking her family and Nashville roots and urging young artists to prioritize what they love. She joined honorees Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Alanis Morissette, and Raye, and the gala also highlighted concerns about songwriting credits, royalties, and writers' rights. The induction cements Swift's songwriting legacy and underscores how younger pop writers are reshaping mainstream songwriting and industry attention to creators' rights.

Regarding Taylor Swift: They hate the fact that she is more successful than they could ever dream of being @leftylady.bsky.social That pisses alot of men off. I'm not a fan of her music at all, but I think she's a great human being and very philanthropic.

Huge Taylor fan here. MAGA men hate her because she is successful, talented and wealthy and didn’t get there by playing the sex card or relying on male support or funding. She represents the ungovernable woman and they hate it.

mtthucydides.bsky.social19

And she’s hot and they know they’d have no chance with her. And she’s seems happy and seems to be having a lot of fun. They hate happy women.

I'm with you, PCH. I'd add that she seems to be a very astute business person, the kind who wouldn't go bankrupt six times or defraud her own charity.

Taylor Swift is a litmus test for incel / misogynist tendencies. Virtually 100% of my Trump-supporting former friends couldn't stop talking about how terrible she is, and vitually 100% of my non-misogynist current friends are either neutral or support her.

They also hate that she can get young people to register to vote!!

They Say11

Taylor Swift handles her fame very well. Haters are jealous that a woman is more talented and successful than they will ever be.

C'est moi. 🩷☮️📸🌄10

Those men hate her also because she doesn't need them. And as you say, PCH, they know they could never succeed like her.

Honestly not a fan of her music(granddaughters overplayed) .. But don't understand the hate .. It has to be jealousy, or fear of strong independent women. 🤦‍♂️

Call Me Cassandra10

I like pointing out that once she gets married, together they will have a net worth of $2.067B, and his contribution is the $0.067B part

I don't pretend to speak for all men or anyone but me, but I immensely respect Tay-Tay simply because of her business acumen and how she appears to have successfully navigated a cutthroat business. Yes, she had parental guidance early but she clearly moved beyond that pretty fast.

The Kid in The Hall7

I think they also hate the fact that she has made no secret that she doesn't NEED a man for her success or happiness and that she has both of those things on abundance. I don't listen to her music (waiting for her punk/power pop period) but I'm a fan of hers as a human being.

The men that put Taylor Swift down are just weak little bullies who don’t like an intelligent outspoken woman who isn’t afraid of them.

She`s a great person so those people have to hate her for that. She achieved Greatness they dont know the meaning of the word.

Elle or Ellie5

They hate her bc she gives a voice to female rage and female empowerment! “Me, myself and I” does not fit into their patriarchal plan!! 💃🤣

CJ McGuinness5

Right. Her success and popularity upend their worldview, and bring their insecurities to the forefront. Of course they hate her.

severn3024.bsky.social5

I love her music! It’s weird to hate someone who just tries to make music that some people will enjoy. Why is that bad? You don’t like a book do you hate the author? People suck!

anita72.bsky.social4

I wanted to say the same thing, but we're not allowed to. They hate successful women.

No Wingnuts Allowed4

And richer and better-looking. Some men are just cretins.

bukdo.bsky.social4

Men who are aggressive tend to be insecure and weak. They incorrectly believe that by using fear or force, they will prove their worth and identity. But that will never be enough. A person who is comfortable with themselves doesn't feel threatened by others' success or existence.

Luther4

She's a phenomenal entertainer & and a wildly successful business person. Her music isn't my cup of tea, but my granddaughter loves her & and Pink, so that's what counts. I support every musician who isn't aligned with the adulterous, non-father, non-pet owning, non-musician pedophile in charge.

Lizanne Flynn (we/ours)4

The patriarchy hates women having power of any kind. A female billionaire makes them furious.

Sharon Meidas Mighty (redacted) AKA Radical Left Scum.4

And she did it by herself with no need for a man.

Scobiwan4

I like how she seems to handle the fame with such ease. She goes out of her way to make fans feel good.

Peter Fraize3

Regardless of what one thinks of her music, Taylor is a boss. The way she reclaimed ownership of her music should be inspirational to all of us in the biz, even small potatoes like me!

Raeann3

I think she is hardworking and very successful. I do not know her songs, cannot name one, but she makes a lot of money singing them. And then there are baseball players who earn a lot for what they do even when they don't.

Patti R.3

Taylor Swift makes certain men uncomfortable.....good.

Big Dawg3

So its cool to like Taylor swift here cuz shes a white "feminist". Doesn't matter that shes a shitty billionaire?

💔3

Agree.Jealousy is the issue for most of those men. She is a shining example of working hard on something she loves and being hugely successful and that women can and do have the talent and brains to be this successful. Her music is not my thing either, as the other commenter posted, but she inspires

mxtdoliver.bsky.social3

It's that she's successful, intelligent, & attractive. That's an incel's worse nightmare: a female they find terribly alluring that they can't even dream of getting close to. As for women that hate her, they've either only listened to one era/genre of her vast and varied catalog or they're jealous.

Kim the Entirely Fed Up3

Agreed. People need to just leave her alone. Buy her music if it’s your thing. Otherwise, go about your business.

❤️🖤Maxie Powers🖤❤️ - 🏳️‍⚧️3

She is of the billionaire class and deserves to be taxed as heavily as the rest of them. Hoarding that much wealth is inhumane.

Phoenix Russell3

She’s ok. The system of let’s have celebrities instead of healthcare is bullshit.

Greg Wolf3

Lotta guys have that Teeny Weenie Syndrome and get triggered by a strong independent woman

Call Me Maybe3

Definitely, but as she’s a billionaire I expect her to be a lot more philanthropic.

Abbbarn3

Haters gonna hate and Taylor will still be climbing the charts!

NotHereForLong3

As an old guy I like her music. I like the charity work and how she treats her employees and friends. I am happy she is happy. I wish her continued success.

REVOLUTION20263

THOSE DIPSHITS JUST HATE WOMEN.

vanala.bsky.social3

I'm not a big fan of her music either, she can sing and writes great songs, but country and western are not my jam. That being said, she drives the right crazy so I love her for that.

🦋 B34RS GYRL 💙3

“It’s not just about the money, it’s about a system that lets allows those to stack Billions while millions grind through multiple jobs just to stay afloat. That’s why figures like Elon/Trump spark so much fury. MAGA is coming for Taylor b/c she’s a loud, proud never‑Trumper and that's a betrayal.

snowyd70.bsky.social3

All billionaires are wrong'uns because they hoard far too much money.

Tanga3

Apparently some men don't like strong women. Particularly in America? But seeing some in UK too. They don't realise what that says about them.

Doc Zombie - ANTIFA Psychiatry2

Therapist here, worked at a university for years. Taylor Swift saves lives. Numerous young women have detailed to me how she articulates things they experience just do not have words for. As a guitarist/musician myself she has done what we all want to do and she knocked it out of the park.

Patricia2

100% resentment. Plus her fiancé is an NFL Super Bowl star. Way too much for fragile egos. 🤣

nativeson13.bsky.social2

She gives her help bonuses

Laurie Stephens2

She has power. Certain men don’t like that.

P'rfesser2

Ph.D., spent 42 years as a chem prof. I've encountered a lot of intelligent kids. She's not intelligent. She's brilliant. Reported SAT was 1560 (I think). A perfect score is 1600. (I only got 1350.) Vocabulary she weaves into her lyrics is impeccable...and then she adds melody. SMH in wonder.😃

Mike2

Please stop with the philanthropy, it’s for taxes. I don’t like her because she has the ability to influence millions in protecting the rights of the disenfranchised and she won’t because she would never alienate anyone if it might cost her a dime. She is as fake as they come.

Peace, rule of law2

I’m a fan of Taylor Swift & I think she’s fine. I don’t hate musicians simply because their music doesn’t suit my tastes. Different people like different things.

OhhJim2

A lot of MAGA are people (especially men) who haven’t been very successful in life, and want someone to blame for it. I have some friends and family like that. They worship him because that lets them blame others (immigrants, liberals) for their lack of success.

Teeklin2

If she was a great human being and very philanthropic, she wouldn't be a billionaire.

DuchessJean🐈‍⬛ 🐸2

Yes she is. My girls are all Swifties. I do like her music but don’t know it like they do. She’s also from the Reading PA area which is not far from where we live, so it makes her our “hometown” girl. ☺️ Then there’s the Kelce guys … 💕

Stagger McTipsy, AKA Captain Awesome Motherfucker2

I don't know her, but she seems nice and hits all the right talking points. But I also know she's a billionaire and often shows up on the red carpet wearing outfits that cost more than it would take to feed a family for a long damn time.

𝐼𝓂𝒶𝑔𝒾𝓃𝑒 All Portals, No Keys2

She’s a billionaire. It’s impossible to amass that much wealth and be a good person. Let’s not forget her tonnes of trips on her jet. She is the greatest individual contributor of CO2 to the atmosphere

sanderson7575.bsky.social2

Small and petty men will never like a successful woman and will bitch at everything she does.

velmam.bsky.social2

Yep…they can’t stand a successful woman billionaire!

Chris Frey2

It's mostly conservative men. She was their Aryan princess until she began espousing liberal beliefs. I think she's great. Her music isn't to my liking, but I think she's extremely talented, and is an excellent role model.

acleareyedsoul.bsky.social2

Call her what you will but include Talented, Generous, Humble . Still a very down to earth person .

drkeenerj.bsky.social2

I don’t get those men. She’s a pop star—and, like other pop stars, I can’t work up any interest, much less being angry about her or any of them. Those guys need to get a life.

mediocredane.bsky.social2

I don't like her because she's a billionaire and she sure has a lot of Republicans around her.

YallJustAintRight2

She is sitting on a hoard of over 2000 million dollars while people go hungry. Why isnt EVERYONE pissed off?

catbirdsinging.bsky.social2

I think it's also because she's not dirty enough...you know boobs and ass showing and waving it around. As I've stated prior on this site: she's a very good role model for young girls.

gulfwarvet.bsky.social2

Pretty much this. Didn't care about Taylor one way or the other, don't listen to her music. When she went against advice and put herself out there to speak out against the BS? Respect. I still don't listen to her music, but I'm now a fan.
