the way taylor interacts with her fans and the way those interactions are framed by taylor/tn/the entire fandom honestly just makes people who do get noticed want more and makes not getting noticed incredibly painful
her fan interactions have always been framed very personally ie: taylor chose YOU, taylor personally liked your post, taylor sees EVERYTHNG online and she wants to meet as much of us as possible!
it makes people who have met her think that taylor wants an individual personal relationship with them which im sorry but. thats not true. AND it makes people who DONT get noticed feel as if they are being ignored by taylor for personal reasons
its not taylors fault, shes doing her best. but theres this culture of incredible need for her validation and this idea that if you have her validation you are somehow worth more in the fandom and its been going on for too long and i think she needs to pull back a bit
i deadass just saw a tweet saying that people have no right to get upset if taylor notices the same fans repeatedly cause she clearly wants a relationship with those fans and im sorry to break it to you but thats a lie (also rude... but)
ariana said earlier that taylor sees her fans as a monolith. when she interacts with one fan she sees it as the entire fandom receiving her attention. its not personal and it hurts people to act like it is
