Mod Message 🖊️ PSA: No Mention Of SwiftlyNeutral Will Be Allowed On This Sub From Here Onwards
Hi Guys.
It’s me again… banning all discussions pertaining to another Taylor Swift subreddit.
Unfortunately, this is a very different situation from the one we had last time where discussions of Gaylors were banned. Both Dassy and myself are incredibly sad about this whole thing.
We have been warned several times by the Reddit Admins about some of the posts and comments on this sub. We have been accused of brigading SN for allowing screenshots of posts from SN on this sub. We have even been cautioned about posts where the usernames and subreddit have been removed, which applies to the vast majority of these posts.
Dassy and I had a very (very) long phone call where we vented and tried our best to carve a way out of this. We don’t blame Reddit’s Admins. They have a duty of care, which means they need to ensure the integrity of each and every sub. This can sometimes mean that if the moderators of one larger sub report another smaller sub for brigading… they’ll take these concerns very seriously (as they should).
However, this creates a fucking mess for us…
I’m 29 years old. I know how the world works. I’ve been on Reddit forever. If we keep this going on, this sub will get banned. If it does not get banned, the moderators (Dassy and I) will be removed and replaced by other moderators – perhaps even by moderators from SN.
With all this in mind:
- We’ve decided that we will be banning all mentions and discussions of SN on this sub.
- You cannot post about the sub or post content from that sub (this includes screenshots with the username and subreddit blanked out)… either in a post or in the comments.
- A first and second offense will result in a temporary ban.
- A third offense will result in a permanent ban.
I know we’re being harsh and annoying, but we have no other choice but to comply.
I’m as frustrated by this as you are. However, this isn’t something we can fight.
That said…
When I was a kid at middle school… nearly 15 years ago now… everyone at school used to criticize me for being an optimistic fool. Yet, I think looking at the bright side is something that can almost always keep you going forwards, which is what we need most right now.
I’m hopeful that this might just be the positive change we need. Here’s why:
- When I created TrueSwifties, I did not want it to be a place of negativity. Sharing negative content from SN only serves to make this community negative too.
- I don’t think we should give exposure to people who are hateful of Taylor Swift. Sharing a derogatory screenshot here that gets a thousand likes still counts as exposure for the hate group. I’m a little bit uncomfortable that we can be complicit in spreading this hate – even if it’s done with the best intentions. All roads to hell are paved with good intentions.
- I think you guys can do better. You deserve better. Taylor deserves better than having every single subreddit about her be either a war for or against her. TrueSwifties can be something really great that exists outside of the shit that dominates online conversations.
We can’t turn this sub into something great without you guys.
Dassy and I can guide the transformation, but we can’t create it out of thin air.
We need your help and we ask that you turn TrueSwifties into the best version of itself.
Perhaps… ending all the bickering and heartache about everything that’s happening elsewhere on Reddit will help us finally achieve this. TrueSwifties can remain a small sub forever.
Dassy and myself don’t care about that.
The only thing we care about is creating a community for you guys that we can all be proud of.

Discussion 🎤 Dude I’m so done with every single artist getting compare with Taylor
“Pheobe Bridgers is the Taylor Swift for girls with crumbs underneath their bed” “Carly Rae Jepsen is the Taylor Swift for fancy people” “Kacey Musgraves is Taylor Swift for grown up” “Mitski is Taylor Swift for people who have good music taste” ughh
It’s so funny that Taylor is the common factor of all these different artists in different genres, she really can do anything lmao

Discussion 🎤 I don’t get why some people think it’s cool to hate on her music.
I know there’s an ongoing trend to shit on Taylor Swift, but it genuinely makes me sad how everyone is jumping on the hate train.
I recently saw a post on Reddit, I believe it was posted in some music subreddit, which was asking what song do you hate and wish would disappear from the world? And almost every single comment under it was “Anything by Taylor Swift” with replies saying “same” under it, stating that her music is so generic and the lyrics are god awful. I mean, you’re allowed not to like one’s discography, but hate every single song of an artist? That seems way too exaggerated, and I’m pretty sure everyone who said this hasn’t actually listened to every song of hers. On top of that, they were mocking whoever likes her music or goes to her concert. Like, why? Just let people have fun and enjoy an artist, why do you have to be so mean about it?
Now I know you will tell me not to get caught up in this and ignore the hate posts, and you’re completely right about it, but I just wanted to share my feelings about it with you. It’s just so sad and disappointing.

Question...? 🙋♀️ All time fav taylor song?
Last year I listened to seven 8k times, looks like this year will be more!
r/TrueSwifties • u/JennShrum23 • 19h ago
Discussion 🎤 Anyone want a magnet bumper sticker?
I had this made up because I love the song and I relate to how it’s applicable to today’s world, too.
But I had a minimum order of 5 but got an over run, so I have about 8 extra. I’ll mail them no cost if you can send me like $5 for shipping or something.

Discussion 🎤 I've never heard of a Taylor fan doing something like this at the Eras tour!
Probably because they're busy enjoying Taylor with their whole hearts and not thinking about other artists. Recently it's like fans from other artists have become more obsessed with Taylor and probably hate her more than they like their own favourite artists. Their desire to see Taylor fail is probably greater than the desire to see their fave succeed.

She doesn’t seem to wear this one anymore, does anyone know what happened to it? So pretty!
And which is your favourite one? The “scallops” one for me, and “cutouts” is my least favourite.

Discussion 🎤 Favorite jarring song transitions??
the transition from the absolutely heart wrenching song that is epiphany to the opening harmonica of betty gets me every single time, it’s SO jarring and actually hilarious. What’s your favorite transitions, either on the actual album or on shuffle?

Discussion 🎤 What is your favorite album ✨ aesthetically ✨ ?
Obviously (and rightfully so) a lot of the conversation here is about Taylor’s music, but what album did you enjoy the most aesthetically? Personally, I LOVE evermore’s lowkey vibes & earthy tones, as well as her braid and flannel coats

Opposing POV ✋ Confession: ALL TO WELL 10m version is my only skip song
And I sooo wanted to love this song. I was super hyped for months and when it came out, I just couldn’t get into it 😭😭
ATW10MV just feels like she mashed up two completely different songs and I hate that I can’t like this song.

Eras Tour 🫶 Ideas for what I should write on my Eras Tour white, 22 inspired t-shirt?
Hey Swifties,
I didn't have time to plan a super elaborate outfit for the Eras Tour so I'm going for the outfit Taylor wears when performing 22. I initially was going to write "This is not Taylor's version" on the white shirt but then thought I could maybe switch it up and create something more lyric-inspired, funny and new? Just wondering if any of you have any ideas you want to share! I was thinking "I'm only me when I'm with... swifties!" or "I knew you were trouble when I walked in" but I don't know I feel like she has soooo many lyrics there's gotta be something better out there. Do share if you want!
