4 years of living in Texas and I've come to the conclusion that the no state income tax thing is basically a scam. The property taxes are so high that they negate any savings. We are still paying as many taxes in Texas as we would in California. You save on gas I guess.

The concept is literally Taylor is invisible so she dances cringe. At a certain point, you cannot calibrate all your work to the dumbest person in the room. For the sake of quality, collateral damage must be accepted.

I'm sorry @billboard, but no way Taylor Swift is not the number one pop star of the 21st century. I'm not being biased, I just dislike weirdo lists.

I was trying to figure out why Los Angeles feels so different. It's not just that a lot of rich people moved out, it's that the middle class don't live there anymore. All these neighborhoods are now super expensive so it sucked families out, and with them the teenagers that created the culture. Now it's either rich people, wanna be rich influencers, in debt working professionals, or essentially the poor class that work all the support jobs. There is no SoCal culture anymore of young people creating things like skateboarding or punk music. Just streaming executives in multimillion dollar bungalows that Tony Hawk used to live in as a 12-year-old.

Irrespective of our friendship, this is my honest opinion: @taylorswift13 is putting on the show of a lifetime with the Eras Tour. It's as big, bold, and artistic as any of the great pop stars of history. It's fueled by her imagination and her soul. It's stunning and beautiful.

Heard a great Tom Cruise story. On Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol they did an animatic of the Burj Khalifa sequence, explaining how there was going to be a digital Tom to do the stunts. Tom then angrily said "THERE IS NO DIGITAL TOM! JUST TOM!" So they shot it for real.

I've said many times she's the smartest person I know. You don't listen.
Taylor Swift turned down a $100 million deal with crypto exchange company FTX after asking if they were selling ‘unregistered securities.’
The now-bankrupt company and the celebrities it partnered with are now being sued for promoting the sale of unregistered securities.

Ok to set the record straight: the transition of Mariah singing "It's Time" is NOT ai. It's a MORPH, a technique used since Willow and Michael Jackson's Black and White. Anyway, enjoy two months of X-Mas season!

My personal experience is that my home gained in value and the property taxes increased tremendously. In California prop 13 would have frozen it from where I bought it but in Texas it increases every year and within a couple years it's much more significant then original price.

Hey filmmakers here's my experience after 30 plus years. Most people who like your stuff generally don't write anything about it. They don't tweet, they don't post, they just enjoy it and that's it. You have to get used to that. They have other things to think about than you.

Some fans claim Taylor stopped working with me because she canceled me, which diminishes her self determination to direct. It implies the only reason she is directing is because she broke up with another man. This is really stupid. She just wanted to direct, period. Respect.
