I'm going to go the other way on this one and suggest that loyalty and appreciation isn't always without cost, but goes to character.

Based on her previous comments about him, a sincere note on his passing would have been appropriate and not doing so reads as false as her performance at the mic on Sunday night.

I had no idea they even knew each other... -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Feb 7, 07:26 2
- apparently he helped her a bit early in her career when she was still just a teen. -- nm - Jovian Feb 7, 07:28 1
  - I wonder which song is about him? -- nm - Spawn Feb 7, 07:29
just because she hasn't made a public statement, yet, isn't reason to assume she's done nothing or that she isn't planning to. -- nm - Andie Feb 7, 07:14 10
- No, but the longer she goes, considering the role he played in her early career*, the more the rubber band gets stretched. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 7, 07:19 5
  - sure, but this reminds me of people bitching about the cast of Friends not *immediately* putting out a statement when Perry died. Their friend died. - Andie Feb 7, 07:23 4
    - Correct. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 7, 10:28
    - That’s fair though they also weren’t the most spotlighted person in the world when he passed either. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 7, 07:37
    - this -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Feb 7, 07:36
    - agreed. -- nm - mud Feb 7, 07:32
- its all nonsense. people and haters will find *anything* to support their irrational hate on someone who doesn't share their values or - Jovian Feb 7, 07:18 3
  - *hand up* I'm not a Swift hater in the least and I think it's not a good look. Feels like a reasonable place to disagree. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 7, 07:20 2
    - I definitely was not talking to you specifically. I really meant in general when it comes to stuff like this. - Jovian Feb 7, 07:23 1
      - Sure. A lot of it is culture war bullshit. (Complaining about culture war bullshit in 2024 feels as useful as complaining about winter. It just is.) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 7, 07:40
