So, here we are, smack dab in the middle of Mercury’s mischievous retrograde, and naturally, the internet’s back at it—debating whether pop stars should double as your kid’s personal life coach. Really? Taylor Swift, a woman about to hit 36 (surprise, surprise!), gets slammed not for her music but for how she “raises” your offspring through her Instagram posts. Fans on Reddit aren’t buying this tired script, calling out the absurdity of parents expecting celebs to be de facto parents, while simultaneously demanding women age like fine wine in their careers but never in their looks. Bodies, autonomy, and kindness get tossed into the ring against outdated cultural expectations—and the cosmic irony? Mars is charging through Leo, begging for bold self-expression. Maybe it’s time we let grown women pose how they want, and kids… well, let’s just teach them to navigate the mess themselves, shall we? Dive into the galaxy of opinions and celestial sass swirling around this debate. LEARN MORE.
Fans on Reddit were not feeling the criticism and called out the pressure parents place on celebrities to “help raise” their children, and the hypocrisy women go through as they’re expected to mature in their work but not in their looks.
“Ugh. Celebrities are not meant to be your children’s role models. Be a parent and explain to your child that adults have bodily autonomy and may do things sometimes that they don’t need to copy,” wrote one redditor.
“‘Why doesn’t this popstar raise my children well?’ accusations are back! ts12 is going to be legendary,” said another.
“Taylor has personally met hundreds of parents and their children that look up to her. She visited hospitals and gave nothing but kindness. She doesn’t give a single fuck what some random people on the internet think of her. She’s been in the business for… 20 years now? She knows she’s got people who want to twist everything she does or says. She won’t care,” explained one person.
“ffs she is a 35-year-old woman… who is great bussinesswoman, amazing artist and seemingly kind person. those are traits your child could look up to. she has also right to pose however she likes even if you dont like it,” someone added.
“I can understand people being iffy about teenage artists being a bad influence (although it’s not the artists responsibility of course) but Taylor will be 36 this winter. She’s a grown woman, people want her to be this wholesome teen forever, it’s just ridiculous,” concluded another.
“First of all, bodies aren’t a bad thing! Also kids are oblivious to a lot of things. These pics aren’t that much more revealing than the ttpd covers just in a totally different way,” wrote a redditor.
