Is She Getting Fat?
Darlene, Jen is correct. Taylor Swift was NOT on American Idol. Check your facts!! And loose the hate... It makes YOU sound ugly.
I'm pretty sure Taylor Swift was not on American Idol!
Fat and ugly.
I'm sensing some racism towards white people here.
Now that's how a entertainer should looks! ROCK IT GIRL!!! THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES
omg! she better close her legs before one of those feather's sneaks up her "titi-anna"
Now see why would she wear that boring white jacket with that zazzy looking dress! better yet she didn't need the jacket unless she's self-conscious?
Now that's how my baby Usher looks....damn fine and good!
She been outta the business tooo damn long! She look like they're doing modern dance/ballerina....And Pink ain't no ballerina!
Aaaahhhh hell naw! Put that freak in a closet Puh'leeze!
I.m just not going to say anything....nothing...except....uggggggly!
Lets face it! Some white boys just can't carry that "jenus se que" a.k.a "coolness of a brother in hip-hop clothes"
Talyor Swift is ugly if not for American Idol.....She would look like a white trash working at Walmart.....No wonder white girls always talking trash about Beyonce, Halle Barry, Rihanna, (etc.)....THEY HATE BECAUSE BLACK GIRLS ROCK!!! WE'LL GIVE YOU NINA MANAJ.....SHE'S SUCK AND UGLY WITH ALL THAT CHEAP BLONDE WEAVE~
