According to Vox, it's impossible to be neutral on Taylor Swift because the discourse surrounding her is so pervasive. We've added to the chatter by curating a @Flipboard Storyboard about the arrival of her 11th studio album, "Tortured Poets Department," and we also want to know: How do you feel about Swift?

@CultureDesk @Flipboard I love the Ryan Adams cover album of 1989.

Vox's team obviously didn't survey the fediverse community when they concluded that it's impossible to be neutral on Taylor Swift, since 54% of voters in this poll say they're Swift agnostic. Just 4% say they're anti Swift. Applause, whoops, hollers and cheers for @CLMilne, who has achieved the remarkable feat of being "weirdly unaware" of Taylor Swift, despite being a high-school teacher.

@CultureDesk @Flipboard

Am weirdly unaware of her.
Not in spaces where her music plays
(Or don't recognize it?)
This year's end of season NFL games were honestly the most exposure

(Am not TRYING to avoid, but also a GenX HS teacher, so weirdly is doing A LOT of work here) ⭐️

@CLMilne Avoiding Taylor Swift as a teacher is impressive (though... perhaps high-schoolers aren't her audience these days?).

@CultureDesk @Flipboard Agnostic-plus. She doesn’t reach my core taste in music personally, but she’s got a ton of talent and does a lot of good things right. I wish her well! 🫶

@mjf_pro We forgot the "Agnostic-plus" vs. "Agnostic-minus" categories — very important distinctions!

@CultureDesk @Flipboard other than having heard her name and know she is a singer, I have no idea who she is or what she sings. She could stand in front of me blasting out her biggest hit and I’d be none the wiser

@Lassielmr Seems like whoever declared that it's impossible to be neutral on Taylor Swift needs to spend some time in the fediverse!

@CultureDesk @Flipboard I’m “voted for the wrong answer because it recorded a vote while scrolling and it won’t let me undo it”.

@Gbutera Dammit, this was the basis for our PhD research and now it's not going to be statistically significant!

@CultureDesk @Gbutera all those years wasted. Sorry bro!
