      Read something a while ago that went something like a boy tells another man “Real men don’t do listen to Taylor|drive small cars|whatever else they feel like today”, and the other man says “A real man doesn’t care.”

      I’m simplifying a lot, not telling it well, but yes, real men don’t give two shits about what is manly or not.

      Same here dude. I liked her old songs years ago but never understood the hype. Then my wife helped introduce me more to her, we went to Eras and had a blast, and now I’ve become a Swiftie.

      When I was young I would’ve cared about that kind of stuff, especially because toxic masculinity is ever present (and I was conditioned to respond to it and “course correct” so I wouldn’t get shunned, etc. ). Now as an older man, I don’t give a shit anymore. I like what I like, and I really like Taylor Swift.

        Yep, totally know what you mean. I went to her “Reputation” concert at the Vikings stafium in Minneapolis and still have fond memories of it. I think its going to be a good memory for life. I had so so so much fun. I went to Ariana Grande’s “Dangerous Woman” tour too and while it was fun the Reputation concert sticks out more to me.
