When I became a Taylor fan
Alright, I guess I didn't really start listening to her music at this point, but the sexual assault case - where she was completely unforgiving about how that DJ treated her - I gained so much respect for her.

I'm sharing this image from a movie because I remember reading an article about her case on Jezebel (y'know, the "feminist" Gawker blog), and every other comment was, "How can he grab her ass when she has no ass?"
Forever soured that blog for me, though I wasn't even a fan, but I AM a fan of women taking their abusers to court and winning.
Now I'm a fan of the music as well, but that was the first big chink in the "Taylor is stuck in high school and always a victim" armor. She didn't deal with that like a victim, she dealt with that like a motherfucking boss.
