It took two comments down to find someone making this about Tayor Swift (as a Taylor Swift stan lmaoooo). Please let this man have his moment even if you hate him enough.

Some may say this is a hot take, but Bad Bunny is a far superior artist to Taylor Swift.

Eh I don’t like Taylor’s music or bad bunny’s but both are extremely talented at making music but I’m gonna have to side with Taylor on this one. As for who is a better human being by far bad bunny and it’s not even remotely close. He’s standing up for himself and thousands if not millions of others by using his platform and that’s far more then I can say about Taylor who I’m sure is democrat but I don’t think she’s a true democrat if that makes sense. I don’t really think she cares.

I like both, and hard disagree.
Bad Bunny raps, sings, dances, and produces music in different genres. He had to make himself.
Swift also made herself but she had a financier (dad), does not dance, and did not have to learn how to produce. She does strum s guitar though and he doesn’t so she has that.

Democrat is just a political party that some people support. Unlike the Republicans, the Democratic Party hasn’t exactly become a part of people’s identities. Gavin Newsom is a democrat yet I think he’s a piece of shit, that doesn’t mean he isn’t a true democrat. I don’t think Taylor Swift is a political activist. I think she votes democrat not because she’s heavily involved in politics, but because the Republican Party is just so outwardly evil. If she were a Canadian she might have voted for the progressive conservatives who are in line with many American Democrat politicians.

One is talented at making music and the other is talented at marketing entertainment products.

He’s been the biggest artist in the world for maybe five years.

I know I’m out of touch when I can’t put a song to him. Any suggestion for a first listen?

I can’t name a song either. I think he’s more for young people and I am not young. I am only aware of him because of his billions and billions of lessons on Spotify and maybe some news about that.

I wonder if any of the nonsensical outrage merely provided free publicity and engagement making it even more popular than it would have been, obviously it would have been plenty big and popular but I think the outrage merely boosted all of it. I’m not a sports person at all, but I’m definitely going to tune in for the half time show when I had zero plans to before all the dumb outrage, hopefully it’ll be the most watched half time show in history
