        there are other reasons but they literally wouldn’t matter if she wasn’t popular.

        so yeah, basically.

        she’s very popular with women, too. that’s a huge sin that gets you a lot of disproportionate hate.

      I dislike her but not enough to resort to terrorism.

      It’s not really about Taylor Swift. It’s what she stands for and the fact that targeting a mostly young and female audience as potential victims will bring the biggest media attention world wide. Terrorists in general want to spread fear to at least disrupt societies that don’t fulfill their ideas of whatever believe system they follow.

      It’s been the same with the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester in 2017.

      Her song lyrics are fairly shallow and whingy, and she interrupts enjoyable tunes with unpleasant talking or worse tunes, but that’s just music critique. It’s obviously no excuse to resort to terrorism.
