After performing Jingle Ball in 2017, Taylor took to Instagram to thank her fans. “I love you guys so much,” she said. “I couldn’t have asked for a better year, all thanks to you. Thanks for all the birthday wishes. Can’t wait to see what 28 will be like. See you on tour.” Obviously, 2017 was a horrible year for a multitude of reasons. Still, Taylor should be allowed to say she had a good year, without backlash from every media outlet imaginable. After all, she was most likely referring to the success of her long-awaited Reputation album — not talking about, like, current events.
