“How My 8-Year-Old Dances After 2 Dr. Peppers”– Taylor Swift Gets Roasted Online For Her Dance Moves

Please don't hate me "Swifties." I was hesitant to even write one up on this, knowing what the power of Taylor Swift's following can do. Just to give an example, I whole heartedly believe that when I worked with a former employer, one of my coworkers put in their two weeks because they were a fan of Taylor Swift and I was listening to John Mayer at my desk. Swifties take their fandom very seriously... That must also mean that they are hating what's happening online right now. This type of thing has taken place a couple of times during the economy-boosting Eras Tour, so it's not like this internet discourse came out of nowhere. What's going on, you might be asking? Well, a fan of Taylor Swift posted a video of their favorite artist dancing on stage and praised Swift for her moves. Here is that video: https://twitter.com/betteroffwoem/status/1802070678843068550 That post had now been viewed 50 million times. Is it because people online are taking notes on her moves? Trying to crack the code on her choreography so they can copy and paste those movements at the next wedding reception they go to? I wish (and Swifties wish) that was the reason. It shouldn't be all that surprising, since this is unfortunately what social media's purpose seems to be these days, but people online are actually making fun of Taylor for her dancing. I'd like to see them do that with Travis Kelce nearby... The following commentary on Taylor's dancing could be (and probably will be) triggering for Swifties. Social media users did not hold back as they pointed out that Swift's "dancing" isn't all that great:

People actually pay money to see this? 💀

Is it just me or is it giving a little bit of Pee Wee Herman's "Tequila" dance vibes? https://twitter.com/Argo_Panoptes__/status/1686073514099425280 Could all of this just be engagement farming, knowing that non-Taylor Swift people would jump all over this and blast the viewership to the moon? Yes, that could be the case. If it's just some good, old-fashioned hating instead, at least Taylor Swift has a song that directly targets the haters.
