Here's why people are calling Taylor Swift a 'Nazi Barbie'
IF YOU’VE BEEN on Twitter today, you might have seen Taylor Swift’s name mentioned in the same breath as the phrase “Nazi Barbie”.
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
So what’s the deal?
Feminist writer Camille Paglia, noted for her controversial opinions, has penned an op-ed for The Hollywood Reporter in which she describes Swift as an “obnoxious Nazi Barbie” and criticised her, ahem, squad.
She also didn’t look too kindly on the “tittering, tongues-out mugging of Swift’s bear-hugging posse”.
She even went to far as to describe the experience of writing about Swift as “a horrific ordeal”.
Don’t mince your words whatever you do.
Some people were totally with Paglia.
While others thought Paglia’s sentiments were slightly over-the-top.
Whoops!

Writing for The Guardian, Rhiannon Lucy Coslett described Paglia’s critique as “somewhat unfair”.
She also pointed out that Swift is subjected to an awful lot of criticism and venom, not all of it just.
*sigh*
For her part, Taylor has neither confirmed nor denied that she is a “Nazi Barbie”.
In fact, she seems to be having a nice time touring Australia at the moment. (No word on whether she’s welcomed anyone to to the stage.)
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
