The wildest part to me was having Ana’s family come to a concert the next week and posing happily for a photo with them. I work in PR/crisis comms and I don’t think that was really a great move.

It’s moves like this that really show Tree isn’t a “PR GENIUS”

If she actually had the sway with Taylor and/or the PR smarts the Swifties think she has, this shit wouldn’t ever happen.

Since hiring Tree in 2014, Taylor has repeatedly had the biggest back to back scandals of her career - not including the death of a fan at her Brazil show.

Before hiring Tree, Taylor’s biggest scandal was dating Harry Styles. That was it.

What about being homophobic on her first album?

It wasn’t anything remotely close to a scandal.

Taylor just changed the lyric, made the new version a single, and radio loved it.

Yeah to be clear, I do not think Tree is anything special

She is absolutely not a “PR GENIUS” hahaha if I were Taylor I would have replaced her a long time ago

There’s no reason to replace people around you if they serve your ego
