I’m not calling it a malicious misogynistic attack or anything because it’s clearly all in good fun with no harm intended, but like come on now. She breaks up with a dude and 3 seconds later it’s all “let’s talk about all of her exes and put them all on display.” I haven’t seen shit like this in so long bc she’s been with Joe for 6 years, but it’s so eerie how nothing ever fucking changes for her. It’s not different to me than the “more boyfriends than T.S. shirt” that everyone went bonkers over. All anyone cares about is her ex-boyfriends and how that’s her “thing” in the public eye; being this like serial monogamist who for whatever reason (shit like this) cannot make it work with anybody. It’s just nasty to me and I’m sure not funny to her at all. 

And it’s INSTANT too. People are already doing the “she’s the problem” shit again. Like helllooo she reclaimed that and you’re not allowed to say it anymore!!!! 

Feels like some people have just been lying in wait for them to breakup so they can start making fun of her again 🥺

it’s just not funny…although calvin does have the personality of a vanilla bean frap

Dylan Philip

It’s just weird behaviour and I’m sure she’s freaked out and weirded out by shit like this

Shayna Clark

I feel awful for Tay because she doesn’t deserve all this drama again

bloop

the timing of the breakup is kind of unfortunate because she’s just been reintroduced to sooo many new people with folkmore and the rerecords/midnights etc that it also helps to reintroduce the same old narrative she’s been fighting since the inception of her career

abby

now i just know the manager of this particular starbucks came in and immediately erased this

shannymac

It sexist at the very least (I bet they’ve never done “which Harry Styles ex are you?”), and at this point, boring and tired. Same shit we’ve seen. How about basing it on the highly successful tour she’s on that broke Ticketmaster? This could easily be “which Era are you” and have drinks for that instead. Lover is the pink drink, rep is a black coffee, Red is the caramel latte they promo’d when the TV came out, etc.

Melon

I feel like it would be different if it weren’t for profit or in such a public setting? But those two factors make it so icky and gross

lucy

someone needs to brush up on their lettering bc i gasped at tom hiddleston’s 💀

Christian Roberts

i just hate that her relationships are the HOT COMMODITY to talk about alwaysssssss

Nitya Kadambi

Yeah this is exactly what I was worried about, especially since companies and brands all seem to be using Taylor for clout - it was only a matter of time before they started making her love life a punchline again. There was a little bit of this that went on during the Red TV release/All Too Well 10 release but mostly people just took it out on Jake Gyllenhaal.

malk

insane bc i don’t think we’ll ever evade the “she dates too much” narrative whenever she’s single and doing what normal people in their 20s and 30s do… very frustrating bc i genuinely thought we had reached the stage where we agreed slutshaming was bad at the tail end of 1989… i fear we’ll have to live that discourse all over again

Olivia Donovan

i cannot stand it. Like haven’t we moved past this boring narrative… I thought we all agreed to leave this in 2012. What happened to appreciating her lyrics and recognizing her as one of the greatest talents of this generation… we knew it would happen though. Powerful women aren’t allowweedd to profit off of their song writing skills relating to their romantic or platonic relationships, in the eyes of the public she still hasn’t accepted that she’s a vicious serial dater and they can’t let it go! Meanwhile 60% of America is divorced lmao

Katie

its just tiring like for years all people talked about was her exes and now the second she and joe broke up this shit is starting again??? its just really disrespectful. it reduces her to just her ex-boyfriends

Melon

The existential crisis of being a swiftie rn is that this will have such a big impact on her career and next moves but non swifties want to simplify it down to her love life and we know how much she hates that, so how can we possibly have a nuanced, analytical discourse about what this means for what’s next without being accused of not being good fans or sexist or creepy?

Ashley C

I get that they're going for the "gotta love those Starbucks lovers" bit, but it's been so long since Blank Space that this is so irrelevant

Anastasia Kill

Taylor is literally seen as a product which is good for her business but It’s very awkward to me . Not to rain on people’s parade but it’s like they veer way to into the buzz feed thing they could’ve made it what song is your ex boyfriend and chose ones speculated to be about the exes without mentioning it. But like ahhhh it’s weird

leah

have you seen the nytimes music critic that posted a list of men with odds/probabilities for being taylor’s next boyfriend? it’s so gross

Cameron

It’s not funny but I think it’s more-so over wrought than offensive. Like, we get it, is this supposed to make us laugh? Are we all seriously supposed to have such a common brain cell that we find this funny in 2023? Taylor has marketed herself historically as being the girl with all the exes, and reclaimed it YEARS ago with Blank Space. Shit like this just feels like a bad old joke, 10+ years old, and it’s time to give it a rest. But I don’t think it’s hurtful. Taylor has made MILLIONS off of having this reputation, whether she likes it or not, so I don’t really feel that sorry for her that this joke is back in the zeitgeist after all these years. It’s just annoying, but nothing really more.

Cameron

If she sees this she’ll never work with Starbucks again tho, it’ll join her list of companies, like Netflix, that she has IN RED, UNDERLINED!!!

Amy Dryden

Taylor seems to be the lighting rod for young women who chose to pursuit love and *gasp* date multiple people in the process. Nail us all to the fucking cross!

Iman

Nick cannon also said he wants her to be the mother of his 13th child, which, joke or not it such a creepy thing to do. And the SPEED these “jokes” are coming back is wild. There’s a group of ppl that only associate her with slut shaming it seems and it’s so fucking gross

Patricia Vela

This is probably why she held on to the relationship for longer than she really wanted. It was protection for her. This shit is so fucked up. Fuck the Patriarchy indeed.

Dania Marin

i could see something like this within a protected fan space (like this one for example) could maybe be silly all in good fun (ie john is dark coffee with grounds/harry IS a hot van latte--so accurate ngl) but when a business/general public starts to joke on this it just triggers my fight response i was constantly on during 2012 and on lol. like duolingos tiktok???? so gross. i hate that this is a narrative that has stuck even after all these years because not only is it disgusting and misogynistic but also its just BORING!!!! like get a life??? if youre gonna comment shit then at least try to be interesting idk?? but this joke has never been funny and still isnt in 2023. Even though i support her in whatever she chooses to do i do hope she considers staying single for a little while and is just pictured having a blast with her tour and her friends, just to stay out of this shitty misogynistic narrative.

Halle

It’s because she’s on top of the world right now. It’s all very similar to 1989. A woman can’t be successful and stay successful without pushback. She’s not falling out of bars, she hasn’t been caught with drugs, she’s not in actively engaging in any celebrity feuds (except Scooter, but everyone agrees that’s justified except for his clients). This 15-year-old joke is the only thing they have on her right now, and they’re gonna milk it for all it’s worth. “Criticize the way you fly when you’re soarin’ through the sky. Shoot you down and then they sigh, and say ‘she looks like she’s been through it’” and all that.

Katie

also they couldve done this with her music......like a song or album associated with a drink and that woulve been fun but no they chose her exes... :/

Dania Marin

also just to bring some positivity in this chat, im a barista at a local coffeeshop and most of my coworkers love taylor so easter sunday we were open and we literally just played taylor the whole time and we were all dancing and singing along. We had quite a few customers comment on the music and the break up with only positive thoughts and it was such a sweet time!! even though i dont really have any emotions about the breakup it was a sweet time spent sending taylor good vibes lol so i hope she can also feel the support fans are sending her way <3

hannah

combat…. im ready for combat….

Erin Houghton

Whenever people make jokes about her dating life I don’t even get mad anymore, I just get fascinated that someone is SO out of touch with modern pop culture that they are regurgitating a joke from a whole ass decade ago. Blank space and anti-hero (which address the exes/“I’m the problem” narratives) both went number 1 on billboard and you think calling her a serial dater is a sick burn? Lmao ok can’t wait for them to discover Addison Rae on Facebook reels in 2027

Ksenia

My controversial take is a service worker swiftie clearly wrote this, there is no hater intent. Please do NOT go after her. You're just gonna get a service worker fired. Also they didn't include people like Connor Kennedy etc. Yes the reaction is it's sexist but let's pause.

Chris Mihaljevich

this def isn’t right but the Gag of Calvin being a vanilla frappe

dystopichippy

it's FUNNIE in a camp way when they do the whole Grande/Ariana Grande thing... it is fucking STOOOOOOPIT to dew this. lordt.

Manuel

I’m all for a good Kiki-ing/joking around between swifties because there’s a mutual understanding that no one’s being serious and it’s all in good fun. But can companies participate in the Kiki-ing? I lean towards no cuz they couldn’t care less about Taylor’s happiness and just care about their profits. Like I understand the person who wrote this board was probably doing it in good fun, but the context of it being at a starbies truly does change things in my mind.

Taylor L

totally agree in that i don’t think there was malicious intent, but it does make me cringe 😭 i know coffee shops do stuff like this a lot, (my local starbucks had selena vs hailey tip jars lol) but taylor definitely gets targeted disproportionately to other celebrities when it comes to her dating life. i fear these are early warning signs that public opinion will turn on her drastically again given her major success, time to arm the guards and batten down the hatches …

Sabrina

Two weeks ago it would’ve just been something cute like “which Taylor Swift Era are you” but the second she’s single again it’s always this shit

Emily Sanders

Ngl the first thing that came to my mind after the break up was announced was that people were IMMEDIATELY going to start up again with the whole "SeE tAyLoR cAn'T kEeP a MaN" bs and now the whole fking world thinks they must speak up about it🙄

Courtney A

I completely agree. Why not do this with some of her songs? I can't imagine how frustrating this must be for her. After all of her achievements people just want to boil her down to her Ex-boyfriends. It's quite disgusting. I don't see them doing this to Pete Davidson, Leo, or any other dude.

dystopichippy

as someone who drinks black coffee, i violently reject J*hn M*yer being a Dark Coffee. UUUUGGGGGGHHHHH.

Claire K

I hate this but I did like the the albums as drinks

Ria

So I’m sorry but it IS misogynistic. Pete Davidson goes through women like outfits and brands are hopping on his ass? It’s so 2013 and I’m sick of this shit

Justice

this is some bullshit, I hate starbucks. like 2012 called they want their joke back 😮‍💨

Luke

no matter how long she’s with a guy, whenever they break up they all go back to typical “she can’t keep a man” um she did keep a man, for 7 fucking years. like pls leave this narrative in 2012.

Tee say

The misogyny is still here, just in sheep’s clothing this time around. She’s got more fans than haters these days so that’s why it’s less than before but my god, it’ll never go. I mean.. it’s already started. Nick Canon is saying she has the same number if bodies as him and that he wants to have a baby with her 🤢

Em

Ew

Indi

This stuff makes me so mad. It’s just so dumb.

Clara Mae

Okay I hate this too but Jake being a decaf americano is so funny to me … why is that so true

Maja Gunhold

I'm not going to lie. Calvin Harris being vanilla bean frappe is pretty fucking funny. But seriously this is kind of icky. The bottom line is is that these random dudes will be remembered as Taylor Swift 's MUSES and nothing more. They, as a concept, revolve around her. So it's pretty shitty people put all this focus of them like for what. It would never happen for female muses of a male artist call it what it is!! Also I have a feeling that the world has been kinder to her and not reduced her to an evil slut because she has been in a long term relationship which is hitting me now. And after everything we've been through as fans it's like oh great. I mean maybe people will be meaner to her in the future with her single wheeling and dealing. To that I say 1 great the fakes can fuck off but 2 that is really sad after everything Taylor and us thought had shifted. I'm just glad that she has changed and grown and knows herself well and can see past how messed up the worlds perspective is. Maybe it will even produce a blank space part 2 idk. But yeah like why people care about these dudes I have no clue. I think because true swifties sometimes discuss them within the context of Taylor Lore, the general public think that's what we're into: the relationship gossip. They've missed the point.

Michaela Wagner

Omfg they’re being so cruel about like “she’s putting her job first” like ???? YEAH OF COURSE SHE IS

Starbuck1234!

Tell it like it is Zach. She dated like a normal woman. It’s so disgusting what they do to her.
